Chapter 173: Impeachment

"I see His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Without courtesy, sit down. You are the first to come to this Chang'an government office."

"Your Highness, didn't you come here last time because of Fusang's dispatch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty?" Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Li Chengqian was speechless, so that counts?

"You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Tell me, what do you want to do with Gu Gu this time? Let's talk about it first. It's impossible for Gu to bring beauty out." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness, is it possible that the Queen does not agree?" Lin Xuan asked.

He is still thinking of asking Li Lizhi for an outing in the future.

He promised Cheng Chuliang to bring Princess Qinghe out with him.

Lin Xuan's confidence is all based on Li Chengqian's help. Otherwise, how can he make an appointment if he can't even see Li Lizhi?

"Li Zhi is a royal princess after all. How can I keep seeing you before we are married?" Li Chengqian said.

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up and he said: "Does your Highness mean that if you meet once in a while, it won't affect you?"

Li Chengqian was stunned and said, "Are you really here to let Gu bring out the beauty?"

"No, no, I came here this time because I wanted to trouble His Highness. His Highness mentioned the princess. Didn't I think that since spring has begun, I would like to invite the princess out for an outing to let her relax." Lin Xuan said with a stern face.

"Let's talk about the outing when the time comes. Let's talk about what you need help with first." Li Chengqian said.

He was very happy that Lin Xuan asked for help from him.

Lin Xuan helped him a lot, but he was just a prince, and Lin Xuan didn't like the rewards he could give him.

"I want some literate official slaves. I wonder if your Highness can do anything about it?" Lin Xuan asked.

"When you confer a title of Marquis, you should reward official slaves. Is it possible that it's not enough for you?" Li Chengqian said.

To put it bluntly, official slaves mean that after some officials committed crimes and implicated their family members, they were demoted as slaves.

Many of them are former young masters and young ladies who have been trained by the Jiaofang Division and rewarded to meritorious ministers as domestic slaves.

Generally, like the title of Marquis, when you are ennobled, you will be given some rewards.

Many people think that the domestic slaves of some official families are well-educated and courteous, just because they are official slaves.

Of course, there are also some families with long-standing heritage who have cultivated themselves since childhood.

Lin Xuan was stunned and said: "No, it's not written in the imperial edict."

"Nonsense, of course it won't be written in the imperial edict, but when the officials of the Ministry of Rites announce the edict, they will directly give you an approval document and let you go to the Jiaofang Department to select someone." Li Chengqian said.

Lin Xuan said: "I haven't received the approval document. Did an official from the Ministry of Rites embezzle it?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "It's impossible. The approval documents all have names. No one dares to pretend to receive them and squander the rewards for themselves. But no one dares to behead."

The most likely possibility is that Li Shimin has no reward at all.

Lin Xuan also thought of this and said, "Does that mean your Majesty has no reward at all?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan had guessed it, Li Chengqian could only nodded awkwardly.

"No, I'm going to see your Majesty. I earned this title based on my ability, so why should I be deprived of what I deserve?" Lin Xuan was unhappy.

Isn't this bullying if others have it?

I gave all the Liulic Pavilion to Li Shimin, which would be at least tens of millions of dollars in profit a year.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin also detained several official slaves.

"No, my father didn't give it to you. It's probably because your family is too small now and he's worried about not being able to accommodate it," Li Chengqian said.

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian remembered that according to the rules, the Marquis would give him a house.

Lin Xuan has been living in the previous house and seems to have received no reward.

Li Chengqian also felt that what Li Shimin did was a bit unkind, but he did not dare to tell Lin Xuan.

He was worried that Lin Xuan would be in trouble if he went to the palace to cause trouble.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be worried. Lin Xuan even dared to scold Li Shimin because of his marriage last time, so there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

"No, I will definitely go to the palace later and ask for an explanation from His Majesty." Lin Xuan said angrily.

Do you really think he is stupid? Li Shimin would be so kind and considerate of him? He wouldn't believe it even if he beat him to death.

Li Chengqian patted his forehead and felt a little headache.

"Your Highness, let's not talk about this matter. I have another matter." Lin Xuan said.

Li Chengqian said: "Say it."

"I would like to trouble Your Highness to issue an announcement to recruit a doctor with a large sum of money. As long as he has superb medical skills and is recognized, he will be offered a large sum of money immediately!" Lin Xuan said.

There were no newspapers or anything like that at this time, and the government was the most convincing source of news.

If he sends people to do it, the spread will be slow, and some people will doubt whether it is true or false.

Li Chengqian said with concern: "Why are you looking for so many doctors? Is it possible that you are sick? Didn't I hear that you opened a medical clinic and the miracle doctor Sun Simiao is here to treat you? Is it possible that the miracle doctor can't cure you?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. There is only Mr. Sun in the medical clinic. I am afraid that he will be exhausted, so I want to find some helpers for him." Lin Xuan said.

Li Chengqian said: "There are so many doctors in the world, and there are many who have superb medical skills. How much money do you have to give a person a thousand pieces of gold?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Your Highness, didn't you notice what Dao Chen said about being recognized? It's not the minister who has the final say whether he can be recognized or not!"

What he was doing was just a gimmick, just to attract people. When the time came for Sun Simiao to evaluate, he didn't believe how many doctors could get Sun Simiao's approval.

Li Chengqian thought about what Lin Xuan said before and said with a smile: "You have so many clever ideas. Okay, I will ask someone to do this."

"Then, Your Highness, I will take my leave first!" Lin Xuan said with cupped hands.

He was still thinking about going to the palace to settle accounts with Li Shimin.



"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang County is outside asking for an audience!" Li Mu reported.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "Why is he here again?"

"I don't know, I don't know, but the Marquis of Jingyang County looks a little ugly. I don't know if something happened." Li Mu said.

"Call him in quickly!" Li Shimin said hurriedly.

He speculated that something had happened to the sale of the Glazed Wolf.

"Your Majesty, sir!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.

It's just that he has a dark face, and anyone can tell that he is unhappy.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Li Shimin asked.

Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, nothing happened. I am here to impeach someone like Your Majesty."

Li Shimin was stunned and asked: "Who do you want to impeach?"

His mind was a little confused. He didn't expect that Lin Xuan was so aggressive that he wanted to impeach someone. Who had offended him?

"The person I want to impeach is Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan said loudly.

Li Shimin is a little confused. Impeach me?

"Presumptuous!" Li Shimin came to his senses and shouted angrily.

After all these years, except for that old man Wei Zheng, who would dare to impeach him?

"Your Majesty makes mistakes, is it possible that he will not be impeached? Your Majesty, doesn't he often say: I use copper as a mirror to dress my clothes; I use the past as a mirror to know the ups and downs; I use people as a mirror to know the gains and losses. Show your humility.

Do you want to accept the advice?" Lin Xuan said.

"I use copper as a mirror to straighten my clothes; I use ancient times as a mirror..." Li Shimin read carefully.

"Okay, that's very good!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he shouted.

"It's just that you said this was what I said. When did I say this?" Li Shimin said doubtfully.

Lin Xuan was stunned. Didn't Li Shimin say this?

No, this is a very popular saying in later generations. Isn’t it said that it was said by Li Shimin?

"Your Majesty, I have also heard about it in the public. Because of this sentence, the public praises Your Majesty as a wise king." Lin Xuan said.

He was very embarrassed. Who knew that the things recorded in history were actually lies?

In fact, Lin Xuan was not deceived. These words were indeed said by Li Shimin, after Wei Zheng's death.

It's only been six years since Zhenguan, Wei Zheng hasn't died yet, and Li Shimin hasn't said this yet. It's just that Lin Xuan doesn't know.

Li Shimin gave Lin Xuan a meaningful look.

Although this passage is not long, it is indeed a famous saying that awakens the world. If it is really spread among the people, it is impossible for him not to know it.

However, even if Li Shimin tried hard to think of it, he would not have thought that Lin Xuan had traveled through time, so he thought it was Lin Xuan who said it.

However, he was still very satisfied with Lin Xuan's flattery, and he was no longer as angry as before.
