Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, September passed and October came quietly.
The first heavy snowfall in Chang'an City happened on this day in early October.
Early in the morning, Li Chengqian set out to wait outside the Tai Chi Hall to go to court.
After he stood still, Changsun Wuji walked to his side.
Changsun Wuji said: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of unfavorable remarks for you in court today."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian asked with some confusion: "Why did uncle say this?"
"Haven't you heard what happened on the streets of Chang'an City yesterday?"
Yesterday there was a large-scale armed fight on the streets of Chang'an.
The people who participated in the armed fight were all the candidates taking the dual subjects of the martial arts examination.
There were even a few people who were brought to Prince Qin's Mansion by Li Chengqian.
Originally this was nothing.
It was just a small-scale competition between a few hot-blooded men who were dissatisfied with each other's words.
But he didn't know that the blind man was actually armed.
As a result, several candidates were bloodied on the spot.
You know, these hot-blooded men have excellent martial arts skills.
And they are all people who value love and righteousness. If you see your brother being chopped by the other party, you will definitely be unkind.
You know, warriors who travel around the world basically have a few friends.
Therefore, the scale of this battle also expanded from a few people at the beginning to dozens or hundreds of people.
From the original fist and kick competition to the large-scale weapon fight, Chang'an City was really in trouble.
Although the chaos was finally suppressed by Jinwuwei and Dali Temple.
But after all, it affects people's lives.
This morning, when Changsun Wuji passed by the gate of Dali Temple, he saw a group of common people suing these candidates.
"After all, the people involved in the fight are candidates living in your house."
"This is bound to be someone's fault and someone will use it to make an issue."
Changsun Wuji also thought about Li Chengqian.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I understand."
Although he said that I knew it, his face still had a calm look.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He pulled Li Chengqian straight and said: "Although this matter is not a big deal, it is not a small matter."
"After all, it will have some adverse effects on you."
Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji said word for word: "You'd better prepare in advance..."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Chengqian grinned: "If something really happened, my father would have looked for me last night, but since he didn't look for me, it means it's not a big deal."
"However, I also know that those few people will stand up and accuse me of this matter."
"I can even guess what they're going to say."
"So uncle, you don't have to worry about me."
"Just stand up and say some fair words for me."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji nodded and looked directly at Li Chengqian, his eyes flickering.
To be honest, he now understands why Li Chengqian doesn't want to be the prince so much.
As long as he sits on the throne of the prince, he will become a target for everyone in the world.
You know, who in the world doesn’t want to find fault with His Highness the Crown Prince in front of the civil and military officials of the court?
After all, being unafraid of imperial power and daring to give direct advice is a reputation that a courtier can only dream of obtaining.
Apart from anything else, as long as he finds out the prince's faults and silences the prince, they will surely become a role model for the world's scholars.
From now on, when I walk on the street, a few scholars will pop up and compliment them.
But the court was forced by the scholars' problems and could not do anything to them.
Even, in order to win back the hearts and minds of the scholars, the imperial court would give them official positions and titles, and would also give them a reputation for being brave enough to rebuke them.
Why not do this kind of thing that brings fame and fortune?
And just when the two of them were about to say something.
Li Tai walked over slowly.
Seeing the two of them gathering together and whispering, Li Tai asked with a smile: "Uncle, Brother Emperor, what are you talking about?"
Seeing him, the two of them immediately stopped talking.
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lost his appetite these days. I would like to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to have something good to eat at the minister's residence."
You know, in private, Changsun Wuji always called Li Chengqian, Gan'er, and rarely called himself Chen.
This is not because Changsun Wuji has a bad relationship with Li Chengqian.
On the contrary, it was because the relationship between the two of them was so good that they completely eliminated the chatter between the monarch and his ministers.
If you have something to say, you can tell it directly without beating around the bush.
But in front of Li Tai, Changsun Wuji always calls himself a minister.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Changsun Wuji still has some resistance to Li Tai.
And Li Tai naturally knew this.
However, he didn't point it out. He said to himself: "Oh, so that's it."
"If you don't mind, Brother Huang, you can come to my Heyu Palace in the evening."
"Although my cook is not as good as my uncle's cook, I can still make a few special dishes."
Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian and said, "I wonder if the emperor is willing to give me this opportunity?"
"No."
"And I also dislike your cook very much."
Li Chengqian was not used to Li Tai at all and refused directly: "Besides, I am not immune to all poisons. What if your cook mistook arsenic for salt..."
This is really a slap in the face.
Even though he was as scheming as Li Tai, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.
But Li Chengqian didn't care at all.
He looked straight at Changsun Wuji and said, "Uncle, after the court is over, I will go to your house and we can continue talking."
"good."
Changsun Wuji responded, then glanced at Li Tai and returned to his seat with a smile.
Li Chengqian also walked up to the officials and stared at the gate of Tai Chi Palace.
Seeing him like that, Li Tai gritted his teeth with hatred.
But he also stepped behind him and said softly: "Brother Emperor, your current status is extraordinary. You must be careful in everything you do."
"But why are you so careless and let a group of charlatans enter your mansion?"
"And it's okay to let them enter the house. Why don't you take good care of them and let them cause such a big trouble in Chang'an City."
Li Tai smiled and said: "I'm afraid there are quite a few people participating in your performance today..."
"If you play, just play."
"It's happened, and I have nothing to explain."
Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "As for you, if you have time to care about me, you might as well spend your life reading and writing, so that you can become a calligrapher or something in the future."
This last sentence was obviously meant to be sarcastic to Li Tai.
But we can also understand Li Chengqian’s yin and yang aura.
After all, Li Tai said that he led the wolf into the house, couldn't he reply to Li Tai that he, Li Tai, was nothing?
And Li Tai was deflated again, his face full of gloom.
He looked straight at Li Chengqian's back and said in his heart: "Thirty years to Hedong, thirty years to Hexi, let me see how long you can be proud..."
As for Li Chengqian, he naturally received tons of resentment and anger points from him...
