When Li Chengqian's carriage arrived at Jiang Guogong's mansion, he saw Chen Xuande, the second eldest son of the Chen family, and Chen Xiande, the third eldest son of the Chen family, wearing heavy mourning, standing in front of the gate to greet them. There were also bursts of Sanskrit sounds coming from the yard.

Standing outside and watching the battle, outsiders would have thought that the Chen family was really having a funeral, but after seeing the two young masters, Li Chengqian was sure that there was something fishy about this.

The reason is very simple. After the death of his biological father, whose son has no trace of sadness on his face, unless he is not the biological father and son, so Li Chengqian gave them a bad review in his heart for the poor performance of these two brothers.

"Mr. Chen, what's going on? Where is your father?" Chen Xuande's official position is Doctor of the Ministry of Water. I really don't know how this son of the prime minister got around. He is in his forties and is only a minor official from the fifth rank.

Son.

"Oh, Your Highness, Chen Xuande, the doctor of the Ministry of Water Affairs, has met His Highness the Prince. I never expected that my father's funeral would alarm you and the two new nobles. This is really a great honor to the Chen family. Hurry, Your Highness, please come inside quickly.

."

Chen Xuande's other abilities were not what his father had learned, but his all-around good temper was the true legacy of Chen Shuda. This guy was really unqualified to work as an errand in the Ministry of Works, and it was very suitable to go to Honglu Temple to deal with those envoys from foreign countries.

Seeing that the three princes had no intention of going in, Chen Xuande made a complaint, took a few steps forward, and whispered: "Your Highness, my father is waiting for you inside."

Alas, is this old guy acting so recklessly in his destiny? After all, he has been a prime minister. Doesn’t he have no face at all? It’s really unreliable. The helpless Li Chengqian could only be filled with doubts.

Under the guidance of the third son of the Chen family, he walked towards the mansion.

When passing by the courtyard, the monks and Taoist priests sitting on the left and right sides were competing to chant sutras louder. The women and children of the Chen family in the main hall were also doing thunder and pretending to cry when it didn't rain. The three people who saw this scene were instantly stunned.

There was a feeling of pain in the balls, this was definitely the funniest funeral they had ever seen in their lives.

Hahaha..., "Your Highness, please don't be offended. If we didn't use this method, it would be like ascending to heaven to meet you, the supervisor..." After finishing his words, he was interested.

Unintentionally, he glanced at Changsun Chong and Ma Zhou. Li Chengqian didn't understand what he meant, so he immediately waved his hands to the two of them and motioned for them to retreat together with Chen Xiande.

"Mr. Chen, if you always want to see an orphan, you can just go out of Chengqing Palace. Why do you have to do this? Is it because my little sister's lack of status makes you angry?" Li Chengqian has always done a good job in respecting the elderly.

That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have ignored the old man's rudeness.

Haha... After laughing a few times, Chen Shuda personally offered a cup of tea to Li Chengqian, and then said: "For what Your Highness said, I have to thank Your Highness the Princess. This will help that evil beast grow up."

Remember, otherwise he will die from that mouth sooner or later."

"As for why I did this, it's just because it's inconvenient to talk in Chengqing Palace, don't you think so?"

What the old man said is right. The emperor's confidants are inside and outside the Chengqing Palace. He doesn't care who the people are inside. They will tell the emperor everything that happens inside. This is also true.

This is the reason why Li Chengqian refused Li Yuan's will in Chengqing Hall and refuted Wei Zheng in this chapter.

"Mr. Chen, what is it that makes you pay so much attention to it that you are willing to destroy your reputation?" The old man used this trick well. At least he concealed it from everyone's eyes. As long as he achieves his goal, he will sacrifice his life.

What does this reputation mean?

Cough, cough, cough, "I heard that the King of Zhou was imprisoned, and at the same time he refused the emperor's order to release him. The veteran is old, and he didn't know that Wu Chang would come to claim his life that day, so he only hopes that his descendants can be protected by your majesty and you.

Let’s have a bowl of Ansheng rice, do you think?”

Oh, Chen Shuda is already frightened now that he has touched Li Yuanfang. What is he afraid of? Is it because of the few words of the playboy Chen Shaode? Or is it because of the old man Li Yuan?

You must know that after the Xuanwu Sect, Li Yuan's confidants were strictly restricted, with the exception of him who was still a servant at the time. He was even allowed to take the stage to announce the decree during the discussion of merit.

"Chen Xiang is joking, you are a veteran of two dynasties, a founding hero, and have a close personal relationship with my Li family. No matter from which aspect, the Chen family can pass on the title of Jiang Guogong." Although I don't understand what Chen Shuda means.

His true intention was, but Li Chengqian still responded.

After hearing Li Chengqian's promise, Chen Shuda's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile: "Your Highness is really happy, so I won't hide it anymore. To be disrespectful, I believe you have no intention of harming the Chen family.

But I don’t believe your majesty. You must know that the feud between the Prince of Qin and Zhang Jieyu was quite serious back then. I don’t want to be buried soon and end up with the same fate as Liu Wenjing. Of course, the original reason for this is to follow the martial ethics

Speaking of four years..."

In the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin at the time, marched eastward to Luoyang. After countless bloody battles, he finally captured the city and destroyed the State of Zheng. In a war, there must be something captured. Wang Shichong was always greedy for money.

So this time Li Shimin seized countless gold, silver and jade articles.

After Li Yuan inquired, he immediately asked the concubines to choose what they liked. But when they arrived, Li Shimin refused Zhang Jieyu's concubines on the grounds that they would be used as military supplies, and did not agree to arrange for their children to serve as officials in Luoyang.

Now, the stepmothers, including Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu, all held grudges and would criticize the King of Qin on Li Yuan's pillow. For this, Li Shimin suffered a lot.

Later, when Li Shimin rewarded his generals with acres of land for military merit, Li Shentong got a piece of good land, and this land happened to be valued by Zhang Jieyu's father.

So Zhang Jieyu went to Li Yuan to ask for it for her father. Li Yuan, who was well served, immediately wrote an imperial edict asking Li Shimin to give up the land. But surprisingly, the King of Qin directly rejected the emperor's imperial edict.

Therefore, Zhang Jieyu, who had new and old grudges, started to slander her: "The imperial edict granted my father the land, but the king took it away from me."

As a man, the most important thing is the image of his woman. Emperor Li Yuan is naturally not exempt from the vulgarity, so he quickly sent someone to call Li Shimin, Pei Ji and Chen Shuda, planning to depose the King of Qin if he disobeyed.

But who knew that King Qin's bones were very hard, and he didn't care at all about the emperor's heart-wrenching words, "My edict is not as good as your religion?" He just refuted the emperor on the grounds that meritorious officials should not be insulted.

This made Li Yuan very embarrassed, but just when he wanted to depose Li Shimin, Fang and Du rescued their master on the grounds of military intelligence.

Later, Li Yuan said in front of several of them: "I have been a military officer for a long time. I was misunderstood by Confucian scholars. I will never return to my old days." It was because of this sentence that Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De were asked to design the officials of the Prince of Qin's palace.

incident, the most obvious of which was Yin Ashu's beating of Du Ruhui.

And Li Yuanfang was Zhang Jieyu's son. Chen Shuda was really afraid that the emperor would use the Chen family as an excuse to retaliate against Zhang Jieyu and others. You must know that the officials who were insulted back then now have eight living rooms and offices and mansions.

, they would not advise the emperor to reduce big things to small things. What does it mean to sacrifice a small Chen family in order to wash away his own shame?

Once the emperor joins forces with them, the little Chen family will turn into powder in an instant. This is what Chen Shuda is most worried about...

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengqian looked at Chen Shuda and said with a smile: "Xiang Chen, why do you want to go against your father's will?"
