Chapter 56: Li Xiangcheng

Li Xiangcheng said: "My son has made my father worried."

Li Er smiled bitterly and said: "You are my daughter, I don't worry about you, who cares about you. Tell your father, are you not used to living outside the palace and want to return to the palace?"

Changsun said: "If you don't get used to it, go back to the palace. I and Your Majesty won't be able to bear to have you leave us."

Li Xiangcheng immediately responded: "Thank you very much for the relationship between my father, the emperor and my mother. I am very used to living outside, and the maids sent by my mother are taking very good care of my son. I don't have to worry about my father, the emperor, and my mother."

"I see that your face doesn't look good. Are you sick? Come, hurry up and call the imperial doctor." Li Er immediately ordered.

"No need." Li Xiangcheng stopped him immediately and said slowly: "Father, my body is fine. It's just that when I came outside the palace, I found that it was very prosperous outside the palace and thought that the Tang Dynasty was strong and prosperous.

However, two days ago, Erchen saw a conflict between two Hu merchant envoys in the West City. Many people were killed and injured, and many common people were implicated. For this reason, Erchen reported the case to the government.

However, the government only taught the two Hu merchant envoys a lesson and compensated the injured people for some decoctions and medicines, without even a word of apology to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

I haven't been able to figure this out for the past two days. Why is it that when Hu Shang's envoy Jie Neng is using force in the Tang Dynasty, don't we, the Tang government, intend to take care of it?"

There was a trace of anger on Li Er's face, and he said: "Li Sheng, go check and find out what happened?"

Li Sheng immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, this is a conflict between the Persian envoys and the Dashi envoys. The cause is..."

He raised his head and glanced at his eldest grandson, then lowered his head.

"For what? Tell me." Li Er said in a deep voice.

Li Sheng lowered his head and said: "The reason is because of a Persian beauty who is dedicated to His Majesty. Prince Perus of Persia is known as the most beautiful beauty in the history of Persia."

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became awkward. Changsun's face was calm and unmoved, but Li Xiangcheng looked at Li Er strangely.

Li Er blushed and said, "What next?"

"Then the patrolling government officials quickly heard the news and stopped the conflict. Both Fuyin Yamen and Honglu Temple sent people to reprimand the envoys of the two countries and compensated the injured people and damaged things.

We also arranged to meet with the saint tomorrow, but today Wang Ning'an, the commander of the West City Homicide Bureau, withheld the tributes from the two countries.

Honglu Temple is extremely busy right now, and is currently recruiting troops at Wang Ning'an's house to investigate."

As soon as Li Sheng finished speaking, a Baiqi came in, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Er and Changsun, and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Hejian has entered the palace. Zhang De, the minister of Honglu Temple, led his men.

They all came out and didn’t have anything in their hands.”

"Let's explore again," Li Er said.

"yes."

This Baiqi came and went as fast as he came, and quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Li Xiangcheng asked curiously: "Father, who is this Wang Ning'an? Why have I never heard of him?"

Changsun smiled and said: "He is a guy with some talent but daring."

"But he said that he was so bold that the envoys of the two countries did not dare to be touched by Fuyin and Honglu Temple. He was moved." Li Xiangcheng said, she very much agreed with Changsun's words.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "Don't mention him, he always annoys me."

The eldest grandson smiled slightly, made a silent gesture towards Li Xiangcheng, and then whispered: "This time he got into trouble again, and your father is planning to come and clean up his mess."

Li Xiangcheng instantly remembered Wang Ning'an's name in his mind and asked her wise and powerful father to clean up the mess. I'm afraid even a prince would not receive such treatment.

Li Er rolled his eyes at his eldest grandson, insisting on talking about this in front of his daughter without saving any face for himself.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Li Xiangcheng immediately changed the subject and said, "Father and Queen, you have been here for a long time. You must be hungry. I ordered my servants to make some snacks for my father."

Changsun said: "Go."

After Li Xiangcheng left, Li Er said displeasedly: "Guanyin maid, can't you save some face for me in front of Xiangcheng?"

Changsun smiled and said: "Second brother, you think this matter can be hidden from Xiangcheng. She is very smart and has completely inherited your wisdom and filial piety."

"Haha, that's right. It doesn't matter whose father he is." Li Er said proudly.

Li Er was very satisfied with Li Xiangcheng's daughter. She was well-behaved and smart. She had never made him angry since she was a child.

"Second brother, since Xiangcheng lives outside the palace, I want Xiangcheng to preside over the establishment of Neo-Confucianism. What do you think?" Changsun asked.

"It's not good for Xiangcheng to show up in public. It's better for the prince." Li Er said. It's not that he doesn't like Li Xiangcheng showing up in public, but he doesn't like Wang Ning'an meeting Li Xiangcheng. It always feels weird.

Looking at Li Er's face, the eldest grandson knew what Li Er was thinking, and said: "Xiangcheng's calendar is not young, her birthday will be in a few months, and she will be fifteen years old after her birthday. It's time to arrange her marriage.

."

"Only fifteen, still young." Li Er was really reluctant to let Li Xiangcheng get married so early, and he couldn't bear to let any of his children leave his side. This was a domineering father's love.

The eldest grandson said nothing about this, thinking that this was human nature, and no one would think there was anything wrong with Li Er, because this was the heart of a parent.

Not long after, Li Xiangcheng brought two bowls of white fungus and lotus seed soup. This was what Changsun taught her, saying that if it can tie a man's stomach, it can tie a man's heart.

"Father and Queen, please have a taste of your son's craftsmanship." Li Xiangcheng personally served the lotus seed soup to Li Er and his eldest grandson.

Li Er took the lotus seed soup and said: "From now on, let the servants do such small things, don't be tired."

Changsunxiao

He said: "This is my daughter's wish. Second brother, please drink it while it's hot."

Li Er watched the mother and daughter angrily attack him, but he was not angry at all. He even enjoyed the rare warmth. He quickly finished the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, and then the three of them chatted together.

After a while, Wang Ning'an's Baiqi, who had just gone to investigate, came back again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Hejian left Wang Ning'an's mansion without anything in his hands."

Li Er frowned slightly and kept tapping his fingers on the table with one hand. No one disturbed him.

A few minutes later, he said: "Li Sheng, go and invite the King of Hejian County."

"yes."

Li Xiaogong was excitedly wanting to go back home as soon as possible to write a memorial. This was a great achievement and he could not be allowed to run away.

But who would have thought that before he was halfway through, he was blocked by someone.

"Who?"

A group of guards immediately blocked Li Xiaogong from behind, and then drew their swords at the intruder. As long as the other party made any unscrupulous behavior, they would definitely kill him directly.

"Put the knife away." After Li Xiaogong saw the person clearly, he immediately stopped his men from taking action. "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Li Sheng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please ask the prince to speak."

"please."

After seeing Li Er, Li Xiaogong immediately bowed his hands and said, "I have met your Majesty, the Queen, and the Princess."

Li Erdao: "No need to be too polite. I just heard from Xiangcheng that there was a conflict between the envoys of the two countries in the West Market two days ago, which hurt many people. Do you know about this?"

"I know and know the real reason why they took action." Li Xiaogong replied.

Li Er's face turned red and he said, "Isn't it just because of the Persian beauty?"

"no."

"No?" Li Er had doubts in his heart.

Li Xiaogong said: "Yes, the real reason for their conflict is because the two countries are at war. The Persian country is losing ground and needs help from the Tang Dynasty."

"Interesting. Tell me, what exactly happened?" Li Er asked with interest.

"Yes." Li Xiaogong told Li Er everything Wang Ning'an said, saying it in advance so that he didn't even have to write a memorial.

"Bang."

After Li Er listened to Li Xiaogong's words, he slammed the table and the man stood up, startling both Zhang Sun and Li Xiangcheng.

Li Xiaogong's head lowered involuntarily, and there was some cold sweat on his forehead. The atmosphere at the scene became very tense.

Then he saw Li Er laughing loudly and said: "Okay, haha, great. Xiaogong, we will follow this strategy tomorrow and have the Persian envoy and the Dashi envoy go to court at the same time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Er looked at Li Xiaogong and said with a smile: "Did Wang Ning'an tell you?"
