Li Chengqian drove Changsun Chong out of the East Palace, and then sulked alone.
Fortunately, Sun Cheng was loyal and surrendered, otherwise this matter would have been a big trouble.
Even so, he has to bear the charge of being lax in his duties.
"Third brother, you are so cruel that you have made me lose Sun Cheng, and you will also be charged with a crime."
He pondered for a long time, then stood up suddenly: "Here comes someone, prepare a whip."
Then, he took the leather whip and limped towards the Liangyi Palace. He wanted to bear the thorn to apologize and let his father dissipate his anger.
Otherwise, when the father comes to find him in person, it will not be as simple as a beating.
In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was correcting memorials while listening to Wang De's chatter.
"The three princes are all competing for the hermit outside the city."
"The old slave went to check his ancestral land, and the locals said that the man was really talented and learned."
"Haha... He is so talented and learned. Why would he go to the edge of Chang'an City instead of living in seclusion in his ancestral land?"
"Don't hermits usually live in seclusion in deep mountains and old forests?"
Wang De: "This..."
"Let Li Shu check it out, huh, you dare to play with my son?"
"Sima Yi is greedy for life and fearful of death. He is unfaithful and unjust. He steals Cao Wei's kingdom and is despised by the world. How dare his descendants play in front of me?"
"Let Li Shu find out who is behind this?"
"Even if he is a living Zhuge, I will not use him. I will deal with everything..."
Wang De was startled and whispered quickly: "Yes!"
"What else is there, say it all at once, hesitating and hesitating, what does it look like?"
Seeing that Wang De still had something to say, Li Shimin glanced at Wang De and said.
"Your Majesty, Sun Cheng, the guest of the Prince of the East Palace, was accused of trampling crops outside the city today. However, he turned himself in and has confessed his crime."
Sure enough, Li Shimin became angry. He repeatedly emphasized that no one was allowed to damage crops. The laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated that damaging crops was like stealing.
The prince's men trampled the crops outside the city. Didn't they take the laws of the Tang Dynasty seriously?
Or is it that what I said has no effect?
He left the brush on the desk, looked unhappy, and said calmly: "Call the traitor to me."
"As a prince, I can't even control a few subordinates. How can I rest assured that I will entrust this huge country to him a hundred years later?"
"He has disappointed me time and time again..."
Before Wang De took two steps, the young eunuch outside the palace hurriedly came in and said: "Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you."
Li Shimin said coldly: "Let him in!"
Li Chengqian entered the hall and saw Li Shimin with a dark face, and Wang De winked at him.
He knew that his father might have learned about Sun Cheng trampling on the crops outside the city.
"My son has met my father!"
"Get up and talk." Li Shimin snorted without any emotion.
"My son is not strict with me, please punish me."
With that said, he took off his coat, put the whip next to him, lowered his head and knelt on the ground.
Li Shimin laughed angrily: "Hahaha..."
"How many people are there in the East Palace?"
"Three thousand six hundred and fifty-eight people."
"My father is asking you, if you can't even control this few people, how can you control the people in this world?"
"Prince, I have had hope in you time and time again, but you have disappointed me time and time again."
Li Shimin was also tired.
Although the eldest son is not as smart as the third and fourth sons, he is kind-hearted and willing to study hard, but now he seems to be a different person.
As the eldest son, I have made you the crown prince. Why are you still fighting with your two younger brothers?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin picked up the whip: "Today is the second time this month that I have whipped you. Both times, my father used a whip. The whip can only hurt your skin and flesh."
"I hope you remember that except for the emperor and your mother, who can whip you with whips, everyone else in the world can use knives."
"Kid, remember!" Li Chengqian didn't expect that his father would really whip him.
After two whips, Li Chengqian decisively chose to faint.
Li Shimin had already gained experience. He knew that the prince was pretending, so he stood aside and did not call the imperial doctor.
"Today's matter ends here. Remember, there will be no next time."
"Wang De, you go and Sun Chengcheng will be sentenced according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
"yes……"
After Wang De went out, he called the imperial doctor and carried Li Chengqian to the East Palace.
Old wounds have not yet healed, and new ones have been added.
This made Li Chengqian even more angry. He swore in his heart that the third child would not be easy to live with and he would be killed if possible!
It's just a pity that there is no one around him.
"Fortunately, I have found a hidden expert. Come and invite that hidden expert to me. I want to see him in person."
The prince has no right to appoint officials in the East Palace, but guest staff are not within the official system. He can ask for them at any time.
…
Wang Gui was disappointed and came to the prince's residence. He was the teacher of King Li Tai of Yue, so naturally he could come here at any time.
When Li Tai saw his teacher Wang Gui coming, he stepped forward excitedly and asked, "Teacher, how about that master? Is he really talented?"
Wang Gui cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the old minister is incompetent, and the prince's people got there first."
Li Tai: "..."
"That man does have two brushes. The teacher has not actually seen that Sima Qiu. The old man is very arrogant and refuses to meet me."
"However, I have met his godson. The young man is both civilized and martial, and he can be called a dragon or a phoenix among men."
"I competed with him in poems, and he composed a poem called "Xia Ke Xing". I lost all face and ran away. I am really ashamed."
"What kind of poem can make a teacher lose face?"
So Wang Gui took out the poem and someone recorded it for later evaluation.
Li Tai took this piece of "Xia Ke Xing" and read it again and again, and couldn't put it down.
"He is indeed a great talent, teacher. This young man is not simple. If he can teach such a young man with both civil and military skills, then his godfather must be even more extraordinary."
After Li Tai finished speaking, he sighed. It's a pity that the prince beat him to it.
"Teacher, if I invite you in person, can you tell me if it is possible to invite you?"
Wang Gui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The King of Shu went there in person, but he was kicked out and even lost one of his boots. He was in such a mess at the time."
"However, on the way back, the teacher heard that the King of Shu had taken action and killed Sun Cheng, the prince's aide."
Li Tai was shocked, then overjoyed: "Teacher, did the third brother kill the person himself?"
Wang Gui glanced at Li Tai and said angrily: "No, that's it..."
After Li Tai heard this, he clenched his fists. The third brother really killed without blood.
Now, although the prince gained a hidden master, he also lost Sun Cheng.
Wang Gui looked at Li Tai, thought for a long time, and finally said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not..."
"Teacher, please tell me."
"Now the King of Shu has cultivated his own power outside the palace, with many talents around him, and the prince is also cultivating his own power. Although there are currently no officials standing in line, it is only a matter of time."
"No matter which one of them wins, as long as His Majesty is alive, they will not get that position."
"Wouldn't it be better for His Royal Highness the King of Yue to temporarily avoid the spotlight and let the Crown Prince fight with the King of Shu while you reap the benefits?"
"The teacher is right, I also have this plan."
"It's just that there is no one available to the students except the teacher, so the students can only worry."
"Talent is nothing. When you get that position, will you still lack talent?"
"What the teacher teaches is that the students understand."
Early the next morning, the official announcement came out. Sun Cheng, a guest in the East Palace, had no regard for the king's laws and secretly trampled the crops with his horse and destroyed the foundation of the country.
According to Tang law, he was sentenced to exile and could not return to Chang'an city without His Majesty's general amnesty.
Li Ke looked at the penalty book, which was pretty much what he expected, but it was enough.
"Yan Yunda, please let someone go and send him to the Paradise of Paradise."
"I don't like people with moles on the corners of their mouths."
Yan Yunda accepted the order and left. The young master said that if he was not allowed to come back, he would have a hundred ways to make the person with the black mole die on the way to exile.
After this incident, Li Ke also relaxed. The team has been established and he is waiting for the club to open. Chang'an City is very lively these days.
Stages are set up in the streets and alleys to promote various clubs.
In Chang'an City, both nobles and ordinary people are very curious and are planning to go to the high-end club to experience it after it opens.
Just two days before the opening of the high-end club, a newspaper from Datang Daily appeared, which shocked everyone. Even the wealthy people in Shandong could not sit still.
