Chapter 590 Your Majesty, you should execute the minister
Li Chengqian didn't sleep all night last night.
It was getting close to dawn and I just squinted for an hour.
In the morning, I had a low fever.
After someone went to ask for leave, Li Chengqian was lying in his bedroom, looking at the curtains with his brows furrowed.
Changsun Wuji's words made Li Chengqian unable to calm down anymore.
Changsun Wuji told him that he, Li Chengqian, was not actually the son of the emperor and the empress.
It was because of some strange combination of circumstances that he was carried to the queen's side by the palace maid, so he became the crown prince for seventeen years.
And the person who was supposed to be the prince turned out to be his nemesis, Zhao Chen!
Although Changsun Wuji only said that this was a rumor, someone deliberately spread it to instigate a relationship between Li Chengqian and Zhao Chen.
But who knows whether this rumor is true or false.
Is such a secret thing really just a rumor?
Li Chengqian didn't believe it.
Li Chengqian knew the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Chen.
Even the Xuanjia Army, an elite ace that only obeys the emperor, was handed over to Zhao Chen?
And the Queen, her attitude towards Zhao Chen is even better than towards her own son.
There are many capable people in the world.
Why are the emperor and queen only so kind to Zhao Chen?
If he said there was no connection, he would never believe it.
After confessing his blood, Li Chengqian stubbornly believed that Zhao Chen really had nothing to do with the emperor.
Because he hopes that Zhao Chen has nothing to do with the emperor.
That’s why I stubbornly believe in this result.
But yesterday, the rumor that Changsun Wuji told him once again aroused Li Chengqian's originally calm heart.
Li Chengqian was afraid.
He was afraid that the thing he had been thinking about all his life would suddenly be taken away by Zhao Chen one day.
He was unwilling to do so.
"Uh-" Li Chengqian lay on the bed and breathed softly.
"Your Highness, you're awake." Chengxin whispered from outside.
"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian said calmly, not sleeping at all.
"Helan Chushi is waiting outside, saying that he has important matters to discuss with His Highness." Cheng Xin whispered.
"Helan Chushi?" Li Chengqian frowned and said lightly: "Let him come in."
Helan Chushi accompanied his wife back to her parents' home last month.
Haven't seen him for some days.
Does he have something important to discuss with himself?
Helan Chushi came in, saluted Li Chengqian, and then stood aside.
"Chu Shi, how are you doing recently?" Li Chengqian sat inside the curtain and asked Helan Chu Shi.
"His Royal Highness, everything is fine!" Helan Chushi and Li Chengqian said, cupping their hands.
"Well, Cheng Xin said that you have something to do with me!" Li Chengqian responded and asked again.
"Reporting to Your Highness, my father-in-law has recently been looking for some good wine. I would like to ask Your Highness when he has time. He would like to invite Your Highness to have a few drinks together." Helan Chushi cupped his hands and said.
Helan Chushi came today actually on the orders of his father-in-law Hou Junji.
Hou Junji has been idle at home since he was transferred back from the Songzhou border by the emperor.
Asking Helan Chushi to invite Li Chengqian to his residence, he naturally wanted to show good concern for the prince.
At this level, Li Chengqian is sharp and clear.
So when he heard Helan Chushi say this, he didn't speak.
Li Chengqian was a little excited.
He has many followers in the court.
But most of them are civil servants.
As for Zhao Chen, Li Jing is his father-in-law, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong regard Zhao Chen as his nephew.
Li Jing alone can be worth half of the civil servants in the court.
Without military power in his hands, Li Chengqian was very scared.
He was worried that one day, Zhao Chen would really compete with him for the crown prince's position.
I don't have any power in my hands.
How can a few civilian officials defeat the people in the army?
Although Hou Junji is not as good as Li Jing, he is also a veteran general in the army, and his prestige is still higher than Qin Qiong.
And he also has an army that obeys his orders.
If I can get his support, maybe...
"Is General Hou in good health?" Li Chengqian asked casually.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My father-in-law is in good health!" Helan Chushi couldn't understand what Li Chengqian meant for a while.
Should I go or not?
Why did he suddenly ask about Hou Junji's physical condition?
"When you are in good health, you can drink a few more drinks."
"Tell me, General Hou, that I will pay you a visit at your residence tomorrow." Li Chengqian said calmly.
"Yes." Helan Chushi accepted the order.
Only then did he understand that Li Chengqian had already agreed to Hou Junji's invitation.
Helan Chushi left, and Li Chengqian sat for a while longer, then said to Cheng Xin: "Let people prepare, go to the Li Zheng Palace now!"
…
Duan Lun knelt on the ground, and Liu Zhenghui also knelt down.
After that, Fang Xuanling and other guys who went to Ganquan Hall yesterday and squirted the emperor all knelt down one after another.
In the Tang Dynasty, the ritual of kneeling down and worshiping was frowned upon.
Unless you make a big mistake.
Fang Xuanling and others reprimanded the emperor like yesterday. The emperor did not kill them on the spot, which was already the end of his kindness.
If he doesn't kneel down and admit his mistake at this time, how can the emperor still endure it?
The yield per acre is three thousand kilograms of potatoes.
Chen, the people of Qianzhou and Guizhou should have no problem.
The top priority now is to save their own lives.
"Your Majesty, I know my mistake. No matter what Your Majesty does, I will do it willingly!" Fang Xuanling knelt on the ground and shouted to the emperor.
The rest of the people were also lying on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
It's so embarrassing.
The emperor personally went to the fields to dig potatoes for the sake of the people of the two states.
And these people actually said that the emperor did not do his job properly and was just greedy for enjoyment, just like Yang Guang.
Especially Duan Lun, at this moment he wanted to crash into the Tai Chi Hall and die.
He is finished.
After scolding the emperor like this, the emperor would probably want to tear him down.
"Knowing your mistakes is useless." Li Shimin sat on it and scolded him coldly.
Everyone did not dare to say anything and lowered their heads silently.
They are still wondering where these potatoes, which yield three thousand kilograms per acre, come from.
Why have they never heard of it before, or even have an impression of the name potato?
The yield per mu is three thousand kilograms, which is really unbelievable.
"Now I order you to give me fifty acres of land each to plant potatoes."
"If anyone can't do it, I will plant your heads like potatoes." Li Shimin said coldly.
"I obey the order!" everyone shouted in unison.
But in my heart I breathed a long sigh of relief.
The emperor was so angry just now, but now he didn't show any intention of dealing with people.
"Your Majesty, I, Duan Lun, have offended His Majesty's holy face and deserved death."
Everyone else got up, except Duan Lun.
Duan Lun felt very sad.
The emperor had worked so hard, but Duan Lun still blamed the emperor so much.
It almost made the emperor angry to death.
Instead, the emperor did not hold himself accountable.
This left Duan Lun at a loss.
"It's not necessary if you deserve death. If you, Duan Lun, are rich, you can contribute some money. I bought these potatoes from Zhao Chen. He wants me for 510,000 yuan."
"Duan Lun, what do you think?" Li Shimin waved his hand and looked at Duan Lun.
"This... Your Majesty, you should execute me!" Duan Lun's face twitched, and he held hands with the emperor.?
