Chapter 5 Volume 1 Impeachment is like rain
After his last trip to Chang'an, Li Chengqian locked himself in the study when he returned to the East Palace. For several days in a row, he even went to bed in the study.
He was waiting, waiting for things to ferment, for civil and military officials to make an announcement.
During this period, officials from the East Palace also came to see him, wanting to know the situation so that they could prepare for the coming storm, but Li Chengqian didn't see anyone and locked himself in the study.
Of course, he is not just an otaku in the study.
With this time, I just sorted out the entire plan and made a simple preview of the conflict that would break out in the court. At the same time, I was also making plans for what to do after going to Tuyuhun. After all, in this era, any place was not suitable for him.
That said, they are all brand new.
As for this prince, he really doesn't deserve it. A bunch of people are impeaching him for such a trivial thing. If he really wants to do something extraordinary, then that's okay.
On this day, the old eunuch brought snacks to Li Chengqian. After he put down the snacks, he said cautiously: "Your Highness, the Duke of Qi wants to see you."
The Duke of Qi is Changsun Wuji.
As Li Chengqian's uncle, he still cares about his nephew. If his nephew inherits the throne in the future, his eldest grandson's family will be richer for several more generations.
Moreover, there was a lot of commotion in the court now, so it was reasonable for him to come to understand the situation.
"No." Li Chengqian refused without even thinking.
Are you kidding me? He really doesn't dare to see anyone lately. If this were to happen, it would be a bigger problem than his wasting food on making wine.
For this reason, during this period of time, he didn't even go to greet Li Shimin and Queen Changsun, just because he didn't dare.
For this one article, I will rarely be criticized in the future. After all, this is an era of governing the country with filial piety.
The old eunuch still wanted to persuade him. After all, he was Changsun Wuji. Although he was unemployed now, who didn't know that he would have to return to the court sooner or later? It was unwise to lose his face like this, at least in his opinion.
Lift.
Besides, he also knew why Changsun Wuji came to see his prince. Wasn't it because there was too much trouble outside, and he wanted to know the situation.
Just when he was about to speak, Li Chengqian raised his head and glanced at him, and the old eunuch shut up immediately.
"You know what you should say and what you shouldn't say, right?" Just before the old eunuch left, Li Chengqian warned him again. This was not the first time he had said this, but because the person who came today was the eldest grandson.
Wuji, he emphasized it again.
After all, only God knows how many people in the East Palace are other people's spies.
Of course, he didn't care too much about the news getting out. First of all, there were many people who knew that he was brewing wine, but not many people really knew the purpose of his brewing, just the old eunuch and those in the wounded barracks.
Secondly, even if those people outside really knew his purpose of brewing wine, those who should be impeached would still have to be impeached.
There are so many ways here that I can’t explain them in just a few words.
Back to the subject, after hearing what Li Chengqian said, the old eunuch quickly expressed that he knew, and then left the study to reject Changsun Wuji.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was drinking tea in the side hall, but he was not in a hurry.
Not long after, the old eunuch came in with his legs crossed, saluted and said: "Mr. Qi, His Highness is busy at the moment. His Highness said that when the work is over, he will go to your house to pay his respects in person."
Of course he would not directly say two words like Li Chengqian, "disappear".
But Changsun Wuji is not a fool. No matter how nice his words are, the meaning is still missing.
Before he came, he already knew that the prince had not even seen the officials in the East Palace in the past few days, but he did not expect that he would also be rejected. But who is this guy? Changsun Wuji, a thousand-year-old Yin man, although he felt a little bit in his heart after hearing this.
Unhappy, but still with a smile on his face, he said: "Your Highness is busy, I will come back another day. I just want to ask what Your Highness has been busy with recently?"
Of course, the old eunuch knew that what Changsun Wuji said was actually asking for information, so he immediately said: "His Royal Highness is naturally diligent in state affairs..."
After the two chatted for a few words, Changsun Wuji left.
And when Changsun Wuji just returned to his house.
In the palace, Li Shimin had learned that Changsun Wuji went to the East Palace to avoid Li Chengqian.
"This bastard, is he going to die in a wine jar?" Li Shimin was extremely angry about this.
In fact, he already knew about Li Chengqian's brewing on that day, but he didn't care about it. He just wanted to see what Li Chengqian was going to do and to what extent.
Even though his desk has been piled with memorials to impeach the prince these days, he still refuses to post them. Of course, there is a jar on his desk, and the jar contains the brew of the East Palace.
Fine wine.
It was only today that Changsun Wuji came to ask for an audience, but Li Chengqian avoided seeing him, which made Li Shimin extremely angry.
"Your Majesty, maybe His Highness the Crown Prince is really busy." The chamberlain waiting on the side said carefully.
Hearing this, Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Don't you know? In recent days, he has been staying in the study, what can he be busy with? Moreover, it has been half a month, and I haven't seen him come to greet me and his mother.
, is this how he reads the books of sages?
Make wine! Just know how to make wine! What is the dignity of a noble prince practicing craftsmanship?"
"The news that came from before is that His Highness the Crown Prince brewed wine to treat the wounded soldiers, not just for a moment of pleasure as said outside." When the servant was in the palace of Prince Qin, he followed Li Er, but he didn't say anything.
Dare to say it.
"Humph." Li Er still said displeasedly, "If it weren't for this, I would have had these memorials carried to the East Palace for him to review personally. But, what does he know about the art of Qihuang? That is to say, it is still in his heart.
Only those soldiers tolerated his misbehavior."
After speaking, Li Er asked again: "By the way, how are the wounded soldiers doing?"
Although he didn't believe it, he was still very concerned about this matter.
After all, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers in the Tang Dynasty has been high for a long time. If there is a way to curb the injuries of wounded soldiers, it will definitely be a huge surprise for the court.
It was precisely because of such expectations that he tolerated Li Chengqian's recent nonsense.
"There is no news yet." The chamberlain said. Seeing the regret on the emperor's face, he added, "It's only a few days before and after. I guess even if it works, it will take some time."
Li Er nodded, glanced at the wine jar on the table, smiled bitterly, and said: "In this case, you ask someone to inform the prince and ask him to go to court tomorrow morning. There will be a mountain of ammunition. If the trouble continues,
It is detrimental to the prince’s majesty.”
The waiter responded and bowed out to make arrangements.
After the waiter left, Li Er suddenly laughed.
He really didn't care about Li Chengqian's wine making. After all, Li Chengqian's things happened for a reason. Regardless of whether there were results or not, it was good to have this intention.
Chapter completed!
