Three hundred and fortieth IX You are not allowed to go home until you finish eating
Although Chengxin is young, he has been trained (taught) by Li Yuanchang since he was a child, and he knows very well that Li Yuanchang's purpose is to firmly establish Li Chengqian as the crown prince.
But now, the appearance of Zhao Chen has made Li Chengqian lose face again and again.
If this continues, Li Chengqian will definitely lose all his prestige in the court.
The emperor didn't care about Li Chengqian so much, so how could he keep his position as the prince secure?
Maybe that day, Li Chengqian would be deposed by the emperor.
Wouldn't Li Yuanchang's strategy of following the dragon go bankrupt?
This is absolutely not okay.
"Your Highness, don't be upset. Your Highness also said that Zhao Chen is just a country man. Your Highness, you are a rich man. How can he compare with you." Cheng Xin comforted Li Chengqian.
"A rich man?" Li Chengqian sneered and said, "Nowadays, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, emperors and queens all like him, a country man, so what kind of rich man can I be?"
Li Chengqian was also furious, otherwise he would never have said such rebellious words.
Cheng Xin glanced outside, it was already dark now, and no one could be seen outside.
Carefully closing the door, Cheng Xin walked to Li Chengqian and said softly: "Your Highness, the crux of this matter lies with Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen is capable. We have to admit it. This is also the root of his deep love for the Holy Family. But if Zhao Chen dies suddenly..."
"What did you say?" Li Chengqian felt an inexplicable suddenness in his heart, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Looking at the ten-year-old Cheng Xin in front of him, Li Chengqian felt as if he was in a trance.
"Years ago, His Majesty took action against various aristocratic families. Now the establishment of Chang'an Academy, printing, and paper improvements have greatly impacted the foundation of the aristocratic families."
"Nowadays, all the aristocratic families are living with their heads down, but everyone knows that they are waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Zhao Chen."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can cooperate with the family and deal with Zhao Chen, he will not only solve the current dilemma, but also gain the trust of the family."
"Isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone?" Chengxin said slowly.
Killing two birds with one stone, said from the mouth of Zheng Xin, is not suitable for the situation at all.
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes slightly and examined the person in front of him.
He didn't believe that a ten-year-old child could say such things and be so logical.
"What else did the King of Han ask you to say to me?" Li Chengqian's eyes flashed, and his right hand was already on the dagger behind his waist.
As long as he is not satisfied with the satisfactory answer, Li Chengqian will immediately kill him.
Kill Zhao Chen and join forces with the noble family.
This is against the emperor.
Once this news is leaked, even if he does not die, he will be imprisoned for life.
"The King of Han said that he hoped that after His Highness ascends the throne, he would not forget his merits. His Highness, the King of Han, is not willing to be an idle prince all his life." Cheng Xin said slowly, unaware of Li Chengqian's hidden murderous intention.
Li Chengqian did not speak, but carefully looked at the satisfaction in front of him.
From the bottom of his heart, Li Chengqian really wanted to kill Zhao Chen.
But he was worried that he couldn't hide the matter.
Li Chengqian didn't want to take the risk and exchange his own life for Zhao Chen's.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han asked the villain to tell His Highness that His Majesty is in the prime of life, and Zhao Chen has now embarrassed His Highness so much. If this continues, His Highness's prestige will definitely decrease day by day, and I am afraid that even the King of Wei will not be able to compare with him." Cheng Xin lowered his head and talked with Li Chengqian.
said.
As soon as he heard that he couldn't even compare to Li Tai, Li Chengqian immediately became angry.
Li Tai's thoughts have become increasingly obvious.
Moreover, Li Tai frequently expressed goodwill to Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen never made things difficult for Li Tai.
And Zhao Chen is the emperor's man.
Doesn't this mean that Zhao Chen made things difficult for him, Li Chengqian, and embarrassed him, all to give Li Tai a chance?
In order to promote Li Tai to the position of prince.
"boom!"
Li Chengqian slammed the table.
In just such a moment, he figured out all the causes and consequences.
The emperor had long wanted to give the crown prince position to that damn fat man Li Tai, so he let Zhao Chen come out and kept making things difficult for him.
Otherwise, why would Changsun Wuji say something unkind to the prince today?
Isn’t that what the emperor meant?
Li Chengqian was very angry.
He felt like he was being plotted from beginning to end.
"What are Li Yuanchang's plans?" Li Chengqian looked at Chengxin with a cold look.
…
Li Jing was very happy.
At the dinner table, I kept reading the first volume of The Art of War in my hand.
Even while several people were talking, he secretly put down his chopsticks and quickly glanced at them.
It looks like he is forgetting about food and sleep.
"Hey, I said, can you watch it after dinner?" Hongfunu kicked Li Jing.
This old guy is already half buried, yet he is still so unstable.
My daughter and son-in-law finally came back for a meal, but this guy was kind and didn't speak at all at the table.
I just immersed myself in watching his tactics.
"Well, it's the same thing if you talk to them more." Li Jing responded casually without raising his head.
Hongfu Nu was furious, but she couldn't say anything wrong with Li Jing in front of Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang.
"Zhao Chen, look, I also asked the Ministry of Industry to build a table like this. It's quite enjoyable for the whole family to sit together and eat together."
"If you are not free in the future, you should come here often. My mother-in-law will prepare delicious food for you." Hongfu Nu said to Zhao Chen with a smile, picked up the serving chopsticks on the side, and kept picking up food for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen was also forced to have no choice.
To be honest, Hong Fu Nu's craftsmanship is really average.
Originally, Zhao Chen could bear it and get over it, but he was really unable to eat as he kept picking up food for himself.
"Well, father-in-law, I remembered that there was an error in the book just now. Let's go to the study and correct it." Zhao Chen and Li Jing said, but they already wanted to run away.
"Ah, wherever there are mistakes, I think everything is fine." Li Jing suddenly raised his head, a little confused.
"There is a place. Go to the study and I will show you." Zhao Chen stood up and said to Hongfu Nu: "Mother-in-law, Zhao Chen has eaten enough. There are still some things to do here. Come over to eat next time."
"That Ruoshuang, you and your mother-in-law eat more, I will come find you later."
After saying that, Zhao Chen pulled Li Jing and seemed to run away in the direction of the study.
"This child..." Hongfunu looked at the bowl full of dishes, shook her head, and then turned her eyes to Li Ruoshuang's face.
"Girl, our family is not rich either. These dishes are all clean. I see you have lost weight. Come on, you can eat them." Hong Fu Nu pushed the bowl in front of Li Ruoshuang.
When Li Ruoshuang heard this, her face turned dark.
He secretly said that you are not afraid of supporting your own daughter to death.
I am not a pig, I have eaten so much.
"That mother, I..."
"Don't tell me whether there is enough or not. That boy Zhao Chen ran away. Don't even think about running away. You are not allowed to go home until you finish eating."
"I……"
At this moment, Li Ruoshuang felt that she might not be her mother's daughter, and that Zhao Chencai should be her biological son.
Otherwise, why would it be so difficult for her?
With tears in her eyes, Li Ruoshuang finished eating the dishes in the bowl and put one hand on the table. She was about to leave when she was stopped by Hong Fu Nu.
"Hey, that... girl, I... I have... some things here for... for you." Hongfu Nu seemed to be hesitant. She looked around again, and after realizing that there was no one there, she took her hand from her arms.
