Chapter 170 Li Heng's Decision

Until Li Heng's back disappeared completely, Zhang Qing looked at Zhang Liangdi with bared teeth, and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister, why don't you let me talk? It doesn't matter if I get beaten for nothing, our family's face, the prince's face So no more?"

Zhang Liangdi smiled, "Brother Qing, there is no need to say anything, His Highness is already angry. His Highness will definitely make decisions for you, so you can go back home to recuperate without worry."

Zhang Qing was stunned.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Liangdi's mouth.Although she is a girl, she is quite scheming and courteous, and at the same time has a bit of ambition.In fact, Zhang Liangdi in history was not a good stubble either.

With Li Heng's rising momentum, her ambitions and desires are also bullish.

One must know that the prince does not have a concubine now, and she, Liang Di, is the prince's main wife. If nothing else happens, she will be the future empress of the Tang Dynasty, and she will be the mother of the world.

She asked herself that she knew Li Heng's temperament very well, but in fact, did she really understand Li Heng?

It can be said that Li Heng's journey today has been full of twists and turns, full of ups and downs, and it is not easy.His temperament was originally cautious, but now he is walking on thin ice, never daring to slack off, for fear that all previous efforts will be for naught.

At first, Li Heng was really dissatisfied when he heard about Zhang Qing.

But in an instant, he immediately realized that although Zhang Xuan was strong, he was not arrogant and domineering. If Zhang Qing hadn't offended him, he would definitely not have done this.

Zhang Liangdi never dreamed that at this moment, Li Heng was not thinking about how to vent his anger on Zhang Qing and regain his face as a prince; instead, he was thinking about whether this matter would destroy the close and harmonious relationship between him and Zhang Xuan. .

Zhang Liangdi ignored Zhang Xuan's position in Li Heng's heart, and at the same time, she didn't really understand Li Heng's incomparable enthusiasm for the throne after decades of trembling.

Even though Li Heng is now the prince of Jian Guo, if he loses Zhang Xuan's support, he will face many variables if he wants to inherit the throne.And once Zhang Xuan abandoned him, Yang Guozhong and others would definitely follow suit. At that time, he, the crown prince, would be alone again.

The wife can be changed at any time, but there is only one throne, and if it is lost, it will be lost forever.In fact, in these years, in order to keep the crown prince, he also changed several wives.

Although he dotes on Zhang Liangdi, he has not lost his head yet.As for Zhang Qing, his brother-in-law, he has no place in his heart.

It is absolutely impossible for him to tear himself apart with Zhang Xuan for Zhang Qing.

Although Li Heng is weaker, he is not without his own opinions and decisions.

It's just because the old emperor is too strong, he has been suppressing him so hard that he has no chance to show himself.

Li Heng pondered for a long time, his face gradually became extremely gloomy.

One thing he saw very clearly: Zhang Xuan might also be a power minister in the future, but he was not in the same league as Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong.Even if Zhang Xuan empties him because of his too much power in the future, the Tang court will not be chaotic.Zhang Xuan is capable and talented in governing the world, which is by no means comparable to Yang Guozhong and his ilk.

In fact, he knew in his heart that the relationship between him and Zhang Xuan's monarch and ministers seemed extremely strong and intimate, but it was actually very fragile.He is no longer the prince of the past, and Zhang Xuan is no longer the up-and-coming minister of the Eastern Palace.

And if someone is secretly fueling the flames, the relationship between the two will be in danger of breaking down.For Li Heng, this is an unacceptable result.

He absolutely does not allow anyone to destroy the balance between him and Zhang Xuan.

At this moment, how could he still not understand that Zhang Liangdi was just performing a play for him today.The ultimate goal is to plant a seed of hatred and rejection of Zhang Xuan deep in his heart.

Li Heng let out a long breath, and slowly became very angry in his heart.

When he was at the bottom of his life, there was no one around him who could help him, until Zhang Xuan was born, and he worked hard to push him to his current position step by step; A treacherous villain who moves on hearing the wind.

He suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Come on!"

A little eunuch came in respectfully and fell to his knees.

"Go and summon the two imperial physicians who treated Zhang Liangdi just now. At the same time, call Yu Chaoen over!"

Li Heng waved his hands with a cold face.

……

……

Before the two imperial physicians left the East Palace, they were called back by Li Heng.

Entering Li Heng's study, seeing Li Heng's face was very ugly, the two felt a little uneasy.

"I came to ask you, how is Di Liang's health? Not long after I came out of Di Liang's palace, Di Liang fell ill. This is really strange." Li Heng said indifferently, with a serious and low voice, "You have to tell the truth , if there is even a little bit of deception, I will not let you off lightly."

The two imperial physicians had just accepted Yu Chaoen's bribe and helped Zhang Liangdi perform a scene. Seeing that Li Heng seemed to know everything, and he had the stance of provoking his master to question him, how dare they pretend to be fake?
Immediately knelt down to the ground, and tremblingly told the truth.

Li Heng was not too angry, because this was already in his expectation.

He waved his hand coldly, "Get out! Next time if you dare to cheat the traditional inner eunuch again, I will definitely kill you!"

The two imperial physicians ran away in embarrassment.

Li Heng got up slowly, walked out of the study, and stood in the spacious palace.

Yu Chaoen stood there respectfully, and was about to come forward to kowtow, when Li Heng suddenly yelled angrily, "You dog slave, kneel down!"

Yu Chaoen was startled, and knelt down on the spot with a plop, his complexion suddenly turned extremely pale.

"Gather all the maids, eunuchs, and handymen belonging to the East Palace, and I will give a lecture. In addition, bring Zhang Liangdi and the others." Li Heng turned his head and ordered a little eunuch.

The little eunuch didn't dare to neglect, and left in a hurry.

Not long after, more than a hundred maids and eunuchs belonging to the East Palace gathered in this palace, and Zhang Liangdi and a dozen of Li Heng's women also came together. Seeing this situation, their faces changed greatly, and they didn't know what happened .

Zhang Liangdi hurriedly glanced at Yu Chaoen who was kneeling on the spot, her heart was shocked, she faintly guessed that something was wrong.

She came over in a panic, seeing Li Heng's gloomy face, she didn't dare to speak again, and stood obediently behind Li Heng.

Li Heng looked around at the crowd, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Yu Chaoen, are you convicted?"

Yu Chaoen's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "I don't know what crime this servant has committed? Your Highness, please spare me!"

"You are a small eunuch in the East Palace, but you have repeatedly sowed rumors in the palace and wantonly framed the ministers of the court. This is not the first time you have done it again and again, so that this palace can bear it or not! "

"As the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom, this palace should set an example. From now on, if anyone disobeys their duties and disrespects the rules, don't blame this palace for being ruthless. No matter who it is, this palace will severely punish it! "

"Come here, kill this dog slave, Yu Chaoen, in public!"

Li Heng waved his hand abruptly, with a hint of ruthlessness and coldness in his voice.

When Yu Chaoen's miserable cry spread throughout the entire East Palace, Zhang Xuan had actually arrived at the door, but he didn't come in.

In his rage today, he beat up Li Heng's brother-in-law. No matter what, he had to go to the palace to explain something to Li Heng.But Zhang Xuan did not regret it. If someone came to imitate Zhang Qing, he would definitely be merciless.

After Zhang Xuan thought about it for a while, he realized that the prince probably did it for him to see.Li Heng used this rare determination and coldness to show Zhang Xuan his unwavering attitude.

Zhang Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, he was indeed the son of the old emperor, after all, he still had a bit of ruthless blood in his bones.But now it seems that Li Heng has also begun to mature slowly.

Li Heng lectured in public and killed Yu Chaoen with a stick. Not long after he returned to the study, he heard the report that Zhang Xuan asked to see him.

Zhang Xuan walked in slowly, just in time to meet Zhang Liangdi who was pale and trembling slightly.

Li Heng killed Yu Chaoen with a cane in front of her, and Zhang Liangdi was anxious. She was not heartbroken over the death of Yu Chaoen, an eunuch, but worried that she would fall out of favor and lose everything that was hard-won.

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, and bowed, "Minister Zhang Xuan, I have met Zhang Liangdi!"

Zhang Liangdi forced a smile, "Excuse me, General, Your Highness is waiting in the study."

……

……

When Zhang Xuan entered the study door, he was slightly moved.Yu Chaoen, a famous eunuch in history, died so quietly.Zhang Xuan was still thinking about how to let Li Fuguo firmly control him and not give him a chance to stir up trouble.

But today, he died in the hands of Li Heng.

Li Heng raised his head back and forth, his eyes were clear.And Zhang Xuan looked at it with calm eyes.The two men's eyes met, and they paused for a moment.

Zhang Xuan bowed down, "Minister Zhang Xuan, I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, I am entering the palace today, and I am here to plead guilty to Your Highness!"

Li Heng laughed, got up and gave him a little help, "Zizhan, why did you say that? I have nothing to do today, and I was about to send someone out of the palace to invite you in to have a drink with me. I didn't want you to come here. Come and sit."

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, half acting and half sincerely said, "Your minister was young and aggressive, and on the spur of the moment, he hurt Zhang Liangdi's younger brother, Zhang Qing... After the incident, I felt that there was too much regret, so I came to the palace to express my gratitude to His Highness. Plead guilty."

"Hehe, Zhang Qing is to blame for himself, he deserves to be beaten! However, I see that Zizhan treats those two girls as treasures and loves them so much, isn't he afraid of Miss Cui's family..." Li Heng leaned over with a smile, He lightly teased Zhang Xuan with a smile.

"Your Highness, these two girls have served the minister since childhood, and the minister has some feelings for the two girls... His Highness laughed at her disrespect."

Li Heng patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that Zizhan is still a flirtatious child. How about this, I also have a few beautiful ladies here in this palace, so I will send Zizhan a few today. Let you take it back to the mansion to warm jade and add fragrance... Hahaha!"

Li Heng's face showed a certain lewdness that belonged to a man.

Zhang Xuan also laughed, but he knew in his heart that Li Heng started to learn to act for him, which may not be a good sign.
