"Why, don't you see anyone as a teacher?"
Xu Fenglei's eyes were cold and he said in a neutral tone.
"Cheng Qian, meet the master."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and bowed towards Xu Fenglei.
"snort."
Xu Fenglei flicked his sleeves and turned aside.
He didn't know where this kid got his face and how he could smile!
"Aren't you very ill?"
Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian and said,
"I see that you can move freely. You don't look seriously ill at all."
Li Chengqian did not answer, but walked to the door and closed the door of the palace.
As a bang came, Li Shimin and Xu Fenglei's fists clenched involuntarily.
Their eyes unanimously looked into the empty dormitory.
Could it be that there are three hundred swordsmen and axemen lying in wait here?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a pop.
"Father, Master!"
Li Chengqian was seen kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice,
"The child is guilty!"
Li Shimin: "?!"
Xu Fenglei: "?!"
This sentence will directly stop the two of them!
To be honest, both Li Shimin and Xu Fenglei had thought about the scenario of Li Chengqian reining in the cliff, but as time went by, this undoubtedly became a luxury hope.
Entering this house, the two of them already agreed that Li Chengqian was going to rebel.
But now...he suddenly came like this!
"What's your crime?"
Although Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, his face remained expressionless. He raised his hand and said,
"Get up and talk, Prince."
Li Chengqian stood up in response, took a stack of documents from the desk, and presented them respectfully.
"Returning to my father, my sons and ministers were unfilial and were deceived by Hou Junji, and they almost made a big mistake!"
He said in a deep voice,
"When Hou Junji came back from Tuyuhun, he contacted his son-in-law Helan Chushi at the celebration banquet."
"He was quite dissatisfied with his father. He thought that his father had mistreated him, the founding father of the country, so he felt ill-will in his heart! He had a plan to rebel!"
"But at that time, my son was so obsessed that he did not reprimand him for his rebellion, but instead kept in touch with him!"
"In Xingguo Temple, he secretly met with his ministers and explained his rebellion plan!"
"After that, he went to Gaochang, and kept in touch with his ministers through secret letters, and communicated the details of the rebellion!"
"My son, I will keep all the secret messages here, along with the translations. Please read them, father!"
Li Shimin: "..."
Uh-huh!
Xu Fenglei's eyes lit up, he snatched the secret letter from Li Chengqian's hand and quickly read through it.
His mood took a turn for the worse at this moment!
This kid Li Chengqian seems to be playing a big game of chess! And this big game of chess has a vague feeling that it was played for him!
"How did he explain his rebellion plan to you?"
Li Shimin's expression also softened a bit, and he frowned and asked,
"Tell me carefully!"
Li Chengqian had already made sufficient preparations and said:
"Reply to my father."
"Hou Junji wants his sons and ministers to cooperate with him inside and outside."
"He won the battle outside and returned to Chang'an with tens of thousands of elites, while his sons and ministers were inside, deceiving his father into the East Palace and capturing him."
"In this way, we can falsely convey the emperor's imperial decree and order Hou Junji to lead an army into Chang'an and control the entire capital!"
"Then he will force his father to abdicate and help his son to ascend the throne. Then he can support him and gain power over the whole government!"
"What I said is contained in the secret letter, and his son-in-law Helan Chushi is ambushing outside the palace, ready to come in and kidnap my father at any time. This can prove that what I said is true!"
Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed.
"Wolf ambition, wolf ambition..."
"I will treat him well!"
He glanced at the secret letter for a few times and put it away in an instant, a surge of anger rising in his heart!
Although he already knew that Hou Junji was going to rebel, Li Shimin was still furious when he heard his detailed plan!
"Hmph..."
Xu Fenglei crossed his arms, his expression became relaxed, and he said Yin and Yang,
"What's this called? It's called a white-eyed wolf that's not familiar with."
"You think you have done your best to him, but others don't think so. They think you have treated him badly."
"I told you before that this bastard of a bitch deserves to be killed. If you don't listen, it's okay now. Just..."
He wanted to say something more, but Li Shimin glanced at him!
"shut your mouth!"
Xu Fenglei curled his lips, thinking that I would just say it.
how?
It’s a fact!
"Li Chengqian!"
Li Shimin turned to look at Li Chengqian and said sternly,
"Since you already knew that Hou Junji was going to rebel, why didn't you tell me earlier? Instead, you always acquiesced!"
"What are you thinking about?!"
"I won't allow you to hide anything, just call me truthfully!"
With a pop, Li Chengqian knelt down again.
"Father, I dare not hide anything."
He said sincerely,
"In the beginning, Erchen did not clearly express his opposition or draw a clear line with him. Instead, he continued to have contact with him. This is Erchen's fault!"
"Later, when I learned about his rebellion plan at Xingguo Temple, I realized that this man's honest appearance concealed a huge evil intention!"
"At that time, I was already disgusted, but at that time, I had no evidence in my hands. Even if I told my father, my father might not believe you. Therefore, I thought of using a trick to see if Hou Junji was really brave. Baotian, you have such a thief’s heart and you also have such a thief’s courage!”
"And it turns out that he really wants to rebel!"
"These secret letters are evidence!"
"The dozen or so people ambushing outside the dormitory are also evidence!"
"And Hou Junji, who is about to return to Chang'an, will also prove with his actions that he intends to rebel!"
Li Shimin opened the secret letter again and read it again and again, his face turned pale.
Xu Fenglei secretly gave Li Chengqian a thumbs up.
good!
He is indeed my proudest disciple, haha!
This kid must have thought that he could not kill Hou Junji over and over again, so he wanted to help his master, so he did this.
After pretending and being submissive, and seducing step by step, in the end, he will be convinced that Hou Junji is planning to rebel! Let his death become a certainty!
What a good boy, what a good boy...
However, if Li Chengqian does this, he may also be implicated.
Sure enough, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian again and said coldly:
"Even if you need evidence, you can report it from the moment Hou Junji gives you the first secret letter! I can immediately interrogate Helan Chushi and others, and naturally I can confirm the case!"
"Why did you hide it until now, and wait until Hou Jun gathered the 50,000 troops back to Chang'an before you reported it?"
"What's the point of this?"
Unlike Xu Fenglei, Li Shimin sees problems from more perspectives.
In fact, he already believed 60% to 70% of Li Chengqian's words, but he still had 30% doubts.
Did this kid sense something and know that his coup would not succeed, so he chose to confess at the last moment? Abandoning the car to save the handsome man?
Or does he have other intentions?
Li Shimin always felt that there was an ulterior motive behind Li Chengqian's unusual behavior!
"Returning to my father, this is indeed the result of my lack of thinking and lack of control, which delayed the best opportunity to report Hou Junji."
Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice,
"My son was still worried that Hou Junji could not be convicted of the death penalty for treason with just a secret letter."
"After all, before this, he was sentenced to death for corruption, but due to various reasons, not only was he not beheaded, but he was released, and he even became the commander-in-chief of the expedition against Gaochang and made military exploits!"
"It can be seen that this person is difficult to kill!"
Xu Fenglei slapped his thigh and almost couldn't stop laughing!
good!
Great!
Good disciple, good disciple, your yin and yang aura is so top-notch, it makes me feel so happy to be a teacher!
Ha ha ha ha!
Li Shimin looked a little embarrassed and glared at Xu Fenglei fiercely.
"Therefore, I am willing to take the risk and take the responsibility for the crime, just to let my father and the people of the world clearly see that this Hou Junji is such a rebellious traitor!"
Li Chengqian lowered his head and said,
"In this way, my father will definitely no longer have compassion, and people in the world will never say that the emperor is mean and unkind and kills heroes! Instead, the people of the world will only applaud and denounce this thief for repaying kindness with vengeance and losing all conscience!"
"As for my son... I know that my sins are serious and I ask my father to punish me."
boom!
After saying that, he hit his head on the floor tiles with a crisp sound.
Bang bang bang!
"good good good good!"
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised, and said cheerfully,
"Cheng Qian, if I hear your words, I will know that these more than ten years of cultivation have not fed the dog, but instead fed a real tiger!"
"You are brave, resourceful, and thoughtful! Well done to you, well done!"
"Hahaha……"
"Come on, get up..."
He stepped forward and grabbed Li Chengqian's arm. However, Li Shimin snorted angrily and scolded:
"What's good?"
"Obviously we can extinguish this spark at the beginning, but we must cause such a big mess!"
"If these 50,000 cavalry really enter Chang'an and start making trouble, the capital will immediately turn into a sea of blood, and even I will be in danger!"
"Your behavior will put the entire Chang'an into an extremely dangerous situation!"
"You are brave, resourceful and thoughtful? Bullshit!"
He was so angry that he cursed.
However, I don't know if there is a hint of embarrassment or anger in this anger.
"Your Majesty, you can't say that."
Xu Fenglei raised his head and said,
"Let me be fair, Hou Junji is indeed difficult to kill! Chengqian did this for his own reasons."
"I have reminded you many times before that if you kill this beast, you will see Martian Zi, but you don't take it seriously."
"So, we can only acquiesce. Only when you see the raging fire will you really make up your mind to kill Hou Junji!"
"What's the saying? If you don't see the Yellow River, your heart won't die, and if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears. It's about people like you!"
Li Shimin: "!!!"
"You! Shut up!"
Li Er was extremely annoyed and scolded,
"Don't talk about me now, just talk about Li Chengqian's problem!"
"Do you think he is not guilty?"
Xu Fenglei raised his eyes.
"Yes! I just think he is not guilty!"
He turned on the calf-protecting mode and directly chose to fight head-on.
"Why are you causing such a big mess and putting the entire city of Chang'an in danger? Your hat is too scary, so it's better not to take it off!"
"I think this matter is easy to handle!"
"Although Hou Junji came with 50,000 cavalry, those 50,000 cavalry were not his private army! They followed military orders, not Hou Junji!"
"His private armed forces can number up to several hundred people! As long as Your Majesty asks the Ministry of War to issue an order, Hou Junji will lose command of the army in an instant! At that time, any prestigious general can be arranged to take over the army easily!"
Xu Fenglei crossed his arms and hummed:
"If Your Majesty feels that there is no one available, then he is not talented. He has achieved some military exploits in the past and has some prestige in the army."
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, ask your ministers to quell this chaos?"
He has protected this calf today!
Li Chengqian tried his best to kill Hou Junji, wasn't it just for him as his master?
When the master is moved, he will naturally use his thick wings to protect his children from harm!
"I don't need you! Why don't you stay where you are to cool off!"
Li Shimin said angrily,
"Also, one code equals one code! Even if this matter is easy to handle, Li Chengqian will still get into big trouble!"
"In addition, this matter is still strange. Apart from the fact that Hou Jun conspired to treason, the rest need to be thoroughly investigated before convicting!"
"Until the investigation is clear, all the Crown Prince's seals and all positions will be temporarily suspended!"
The clear investigation he said naturally meant the investigation of Li Chengqian.
"Father, the seals of my sons and ministers have been sorted out and are all on the table."
Li Chengqian bowed his head and said,
"In addition, I have one more request."
"My son knows that he lacks moral character, lacks resourcefulness, and is not diligent in his limbs. He is simply not qualified for the important task of being a prince and taking charge of the country."
"Therefore, I would like to resign from the position of Crown Prince and ask my father for your permission."
boom!
It hit the ground again.
"Chengqian, don't..."
Xu Fenglei was anxious and wanted to speak.
Your master is still helping you compete with your father in the Imperial City. Why did you give in so quickly?
"Master, your heart is indebted to Chengqian. Chengqian has failed to live up to your kindness of training for more than ten years. I am deeply ashamed."
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Fenglei, his eyes a little ashamed, but extremely determined.
"But I have thought deeply about resigning as the crown prince. I really have sinned deeply and am not capable of doing the job myself."
He said sincerely,
"The child is really not that material. I let the master down."
"Master, please forgive me. My child, I have to kowtow to you."
boom.
boom.
boom!
This kowtow means kowtowing three times!
It seemed that he was repaying the master for his earnest teachings and painstaking cultivation over the years.
Seeing this, Xu Fenglei's nose felt slightly sore.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but what Yuan Shoucheng said to him that day suddenly came to mind.
perhaps……
Cheng Qian is really not that material.
perhaps……
He would be happier if he didn't become the prince, and all the messy problems in his body would be cured.
perhaps……
"Why……"
Xu Fenglei relaxed, gently lifted Li Chengqian up, and said with emotion, "You don't have to be ashamed. I have never felt that you are so outstanding as I do today."
"Cheng Qian, you make Master very happy. Really, Master is proud of you."
With that said, he patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder.
"Good boy, Master will always respect your wishes."
