Li Chengqian did not lie to them.
His formation of the Sixth Army was indeed approved by Li Shimin's personal decree.
Even when he sent Han Qilue to win over the Jianghu people, Li Shimin gave him a lot of help.
"Even if these are not private soldiers."
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "I guess you didn't tell His Majesty that you went to encircle and suppress Cui Yinghe, right?"
"That's not true."
Li Chengqian admitted it generously.
"Then why don't you hurry up and tell me?"
Changsun Wuji took Li Chengqian's arm and said, "Hurry up and say hello to His Majesty, otherwise something big will happen in the future."
The entanglement between the prince and the emperor cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
In many cases, the emperor and the prince were on opposite sides.
The emperor not only wanted to help the prince establish his prestige, but also suppressed the prince to prevent his imperial power from being taken away too much by the prince.
Because once the prince's power became too great, the emperor would become a decoration and would even be restrained by the prince.
This is something no one wants to see, and the emperor certainly doesn’t want to see it either.
That's why Changsun Wuji thought about asking Li Chengqian to quickly go over and tell Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Wuji: "Uncle, don't be too nervous. My father is very smart and must have known about it a long time ago."
"So there is no need for me to talk to my father about this matter."
"Besides, the reason why I arranged this is because I want to keep this matter secret."
"If everyone knows about the trouble, why should I send the Sixth Army? Why don't I just let the regular army go?"
Hear this.
Changsun Wuji was also a little dumbfounded.
"You're right."
"You are right to think about the world."
"But don't forget, you are still the prince."
Cheng Yaojin said: "You are the prince, so you have to report everything to His Majesty. Even if His Majesty knows, you have to tell Him again. You can't always do things based on the trust between father and son."
Changsun Wuji also reacted and nodded: "He is right. What you have done in the past few years has become more and more outrageous."
"Before, when you caused great troubles in the ordnance camp, my uncle didn't say anything."
"His Majesty the Ordnance Battalion has been handed over to you a long time ago. No one can control what you do."
"But you are involved in military matters now. If you don't tell His Majesty, it will be very troublesome."
"You have to know that the interests involved in this can relate to many aspects, and it is also related to the interests of many people."
"And you are now in this position where many people are watching you, waiting for you to make a mistake."
"If you are caught by those people about dispatching private soldiers at this time, I'm afraid they will take a hard look at you."
When Li Shimin set up the Qianzi camp for Li Chengqian, there were a lot of irresponsible remarks from the outside world.
But because the number of people was small, they didn't make any noise.
It was not until later that they saw the combat effectiveness of Qianzi Camp that the courtiers began to whisper this matter into Li Shimin's ears.
Li Chengqian was too lazy to bother, so he simply handed over Qianzi Camp to Li Shimin.
But Li Chengqian's existence itself was different from other princes.
He is not a sitting prince, but a fighting prince, and the things he does are all bloody things.
If he does not have military power, it will be difficult for him to make a difference.
Therefore, Li Shimin formed another six rates for him, and some of them were secretly organized.
This is to silence those ministers.
But it would be bad if the ministers knew about dispatching troops and horses to attack Cui Yinghe.
After all, in history, many princes were executed for such things.
Li Chengqian pursed his lips: "Then I'll go talk now?"
"Otherwise, how long do you want to wait?"
Changsun Wuji took Li Chengqian's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go with you."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"If you want to go, go, but don't take me with you!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I just came here to watch the excitement."
"You're not going, are you?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at him and said, "I have to explain to Your Majesty how you forced the Crown Prince just now."
"Hey, you old bastard!"
"Aren't you the one who forced me here?"
Cheng Yaojin said unhappily: "Without you, I would be a fool!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Changsun Wuji pointed at him and said, "You are going or not."
Seeing the look in his eyes, Cheng Yaojin was also frightened.
The three words "Lao Yinren" are not in vain.
If this guy really says something in front of Li Shimin, he will be scolded even if he doesn't say anything at all.
"You're awesome!"
Cheng Yaojin pointed at Changsun Wuji's nose, and then strode towards the Ganlu Hall.
After walking out for a long time, I saw the two of them standing still.
Cheng Yaojin stopped, turned to the two of them and said, "What are you two waiting for? Let's go!"
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled.
On the way to the Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian's eyes were full of unspeakable meaning.
…
now.
Inside the Manna Hall.
Li Shimin is reading the memorial.
"His Majesty!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Zhao and Duke Lu seek an audience!"
Eunuch Zhou said in Li Shimin's ear.
"them?"
Li Shimin frowned: "Didn't they just leave?"
Duke Zhou said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted to apologize to His Majesty. Duke Zhao and Duke Lu came here accompanying His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hear these words.
Li Shimin's face was full of confusion: "What crime did he ask for? What bad thing did he do?"
"I heard it's about Yanshan."
Eunuch Zhou gave Li Shimin a look that made me understand.
Only then did Li Shimin react: "So this is what I wanted to say. Let them come in."
"yes!"
Eunuch Zhou slowly retreated.
not long time.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji walked into the Ganlu Hall side by side.
"My son, please pay homage to your father!"
"My ministers, please pay homage to Your Majesty."
"No gift!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said without raising his head: "I heard that you want to plead guilty to me? Why do you plead guilty?"
Isn’t this a question that you don’t know why?
Li Chengqian secretly slandered in his heart, but he still put on a respectful look on his face and said: "My son sent troops to Yanshan without my father's permission."
"Then what?"
Li Shimin still didn't look up.
"Well……"
Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Wuji and saw that he was winking at him, and then he said: "As the prince, I am in charge of the six rates. I should have taken care of my father's worries, but this time I sent troops into the underworld without my father's permission." This is really not the case, so I ask my father to punish my son."
"hehe."
Li Shimin chuckled and finally raised his head: "Then how do you want me to punish you?"
"this……"
Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and said, "Father, you can punish me however you want. I will definitely have no complaints."
"forget it."
"What you did was not wrong."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said, "It's just that from now on, I must know about this kind of thing first. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Li Chengqian bowed and said.
Li Shimin nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "How is things going at Liu Sui's side? Have you found the hiding place of the Cui family thief?"
"found it."
"There should be a fierce battle going on now."
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Li Shimin, with a strange look in his eyes.
