Li Shimin originally asked Li Chengqian to go to Qinzhou.
Just let him punish the officialdom over there.
Just to knock some people by the way.
Li Shimin is not a fool.
Of course he could see some of the shortcomings of the imperial court.
The treatment he gave those meritorious deeds was a bit excessive.
As a result, the current people are being slaughtered and bullied by those so-called meritorious deeds.
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Those are the old men who conquered the world with him.
He couldn't do anything to these people.
Could it be.
Did he also follow the example of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and kill all those heroes?
That's obviously impossible.
If he really did that.
The record of him in the history books is probably going to lean towards a tyrant again.
therefore.
He calls himself a benevolent king.
Even if you pretend, you have to keep this scene going.
something.
Even if he saw it, he couldn't tell.
Even if the memorial is delivered to you, you cannot check it.
But he couldn't check.
Doesn't mean others can't.
for example.
his son……
Li Chengqian.
and.
It would be most appropriate for Li Chengqian to investigate...
…
the other side.
After talking to Li Yu.
Li Chengqian returned to his room.
Su Qingling was embroidering in the room.
See him coming.
Su Qingling didn't even look up: "Are you done?"
"Um."
Li Chengqian nodded.
He moved closer to Su Qingling.
He glanced at the pattern embroidered by Su Qingling.
"Why do you always embroider mandarin ducks?"
Li Chengqian said casually: "Can't we do something else?"
"Doing something else? What?"
Su Qingling glanced at him: "Is it possible to embroider elbows, steamed buns, and braised fish?"
Good guy.
It’s all about food.
Li Chengqian can also see it.
Su Qingling was resentful of herself.
Although he brought Su Qingling out.
But these days.
The whole time, Su Qingling was held in the inn.
I haven't been to anywhere else.
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "How about I take you out for a walk."
When Su Qingling heard this, she paused.
"Where to go?"
"Go to Zhuangzi outside the city and have a look."
Li Chengqian said: "But don't say I didn't tell you in advance."
"Let's go out this time."
"On the one hand, it's to relax, but on the other hand, it's also to investigate the case."
Su Qingling raised her eyebrows and said, "Investigating the case? The investigation hasn't been completed yet?"
"It's early."
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed: "These guys from Qinzhou have been here for more than ten or twenty years."
"Their power is deeply entrenched."
"I'm afraid some dirty things have already penetrated into the bone marrow."
Li Chengqian said slowly: "It can't be done overnight if you want to dig it out."
Hear this.
Su Qingling looked unhappy.
"Since you know it can't be done overnight."
"Then why didn't you bring a few more people here?"
Although she hasn't gone downstairs these days.
But she still heard about some things.
Especially when I heard Zhang Naikuan's attitude towards Li Chengqian.
She wished she could rush downstairs and give Zhang Naikuan a slap in the face.
"I'd like to take it too."
"But, don't we have that condition?"
Li Chengqian was lying on the bed, pillowing Su Qingling's legs.
"to be honest."
"I didn't understand what Father meant at the beginning."
"Why didn't he let me bring Uncle Cheng and Uncle?"
Li Chengqian took a long breath: "It wasn't until I came to this place that I understood my father's painstaking efforts."
Su Qingling raised her eyebrows with a look of confusion.
Li Chengqian pointed at himself and said, "Because I am his prince."
"Prince?"
Su Qingling said blankly: "What then?"
"Then."
"Is there any need to say it?"
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and looked straight ahead: "It's nothing more than four words, the change of old and new."
"Change between old and new?"
Su Qingling was startled.
When he came back to his senses.
She couldn't help but look surprised: "You mean, in the future..."
"Shh!"
Don't wait for her to finish.
Li Chengqian made a silent gesture to her.
"This is not nonsense."
"If people hear you, even if your man is the current prince, he will still be remembered."
Su Qingling covered her mouth and nodded.
The so-called replacement of old and new.
It is nothing more than an emperor and a courtier.
Qinzhou is the place where Li Shimin's branch thrives.
There are too many of Li Shimin’s old ministries there.
In the future, Li Chengqian will ascend the throne.
These people are bound to be convinced on the surface but not convinced on the inside.
If Li Chengqian cannot conquer them immediately.
Then in the future, more people will definitely follow suit.
in this way.
How can Li Chengqian's empire be secure?
Su Qingling realized later and said, "But even a county magistrate in Qinzhou dares to do this to you."
"What about the others?"
"If the big shot behind Zhang Naikuan jumps out."
Su Qingling looked down at Li Chengqian and said, "What do you think?"
"Just take a step and see."
Li Chengqian looked unconcerned.
But Su Qingling was a little anxious.
"Where can I take one step at a time and see one step at a time?"
"If one of them is not done well, something big will happen."
Want to understand the cause and effect.
Su Qingling was also a little anxious.
She couldn't help but said: "Father has given you a difficult problem this time..."
"It's not really a problem."
Li Chengqian curled his lips: "And what you are considering, my father has already considered."
"ah?"
When Su Qingling heard this, she looked at Li Chengqian with some confusion.
Li Chengqian smiled leisurely.
"Your man is the current crown prince and the third generation of the Li Tang royal family."
"Whether it's the first-generation hero who followed my imperial grandfather."
"It's better to be a second-generation hero who followed my father."
"Those things have nothing to do with me, Li Chengqian."
Li Chengqian slowly narrated: "And my father asked me to come to Qinzhou."
"It's just because my treatment of Zhang Liang shows that I no longer coward these old guys."
"That's why he planned to let me make this move in advance."
"By the way, let these old guys know that I, Li Chengqian, the young prince, am not that simple."
Su Qingling nodded.
This is true.
Although Li Chengqian is young, he is only in his early twenties this year.
But he has qualifications far beyond those of his age.
The new generation of generals and the new generation of civil servants in the Tang Dynasty almost all followed his lead.
And among the entire Tang army.
In addition to the fact that the Shu army still had some resentment towards Li Chengqian.
The rest of the army only admired Li Chengqian, not dissatisfied.
Especially the soldiers from Liangzhou respected Li Chengqian like a god.
Such wealth, such status.
No matter how you look at it.
He doesn't need to be afraid of those old guys.
But……
Su Qingling was still a little worried and said: "Even so, the power of these veterans cannot be ignored."
"Earlier, you suffered a lot from them. Didn't you suffer enough?"
Li Chengqian curled his lips slightly.
"Do you think your man is afraid of them?"
"Ding Datian means that every three days a concert will be played, and every five days a group of ministers will play together."
"What's that?"
"My father doesn't believe it anyway."
"It's amazing. My father grabbed me and beat me."
"I have rough skin and thick flesh. It doesn't hurt if you hit me. Whatever you want..."
