Chapter 153: Your Majesty is His Highness’ biological father. As the saying goes, like father, like son (please vote and subscribe)
Cheng Chubi looked at the shocked Li Chengqian and pointed to the sky.
"The world outside is so big, don't you want to walk more and see more?"
"It would be good even if we could learn more about people's sufferings."
"But..." Li Chengqian frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face. "Brother Xian, you don't know."
"Every time I think about walking around outside the East Palace, those people will give me advice."
"It seems that if I leave the East Palace, there will be accidents and dangers. Alas..."
Cheng Chubi looked at the Crown Prince who was too hesitant and not decisive at all, and couldn't help but said.
"I have heard that His Majesty has paid private visits to the public many times incognito, and it's not like he has not been told by his ministers..."
Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Chubi in confusion. Cheng Chubi laughed.
"My father saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears the group of civil servants admonishing His Majesty in the court. Your Majesty will sincerely admit his mistakes, and then... cough."
These are not secrets. Cheng Chubi learned a lot of interesting things about the court from his father.
For example, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also liked to travel incognito and understood the hardships of the people's livelihood. Although he was admonished by his officials, he still refused to change.
It took Li Chengqian a long time to react. "Why have I never heard of this?"
Cheng Chubi is really not complaining, he is just an honest person.
"That's not because the ministers around you, Your Highness, want to be more relaxed. Naturally, they will only tell you about His Majesty's excellent side."
"..." Li Chengqian thought carefully about Cheng Chubi's words, and found that they were true. Of course, Li Chengqian had absolutely no intention of arranging his biological father.
I just feel that what Cheng Chubi said does make sense.
When I thought that like my father, I could travel in a simple carriage and leave the East Palace in plain clothes, and then I could wander around Chang'an City and understand the sufferings of the people.
Li Chengqian's face was slightly red with excitement, he rubbed his hands and asked subconsciously.
"Then, how do we get out?"
"Actually, it's not difficult. It depends on whether Your Highness is willing to wrong yourself." Cheng Chubi laughed and looked at Li Chengqian up and down.
It should not be difficult for the relatively thin Li Chengqian to leave the East Palace disguised as a purchasing eunuch.
As for being punished, haha... the worst case is dismissal from office. I am not willing to stay in the East Palace, so I just went to the Imperial Medical Office to fulfill my bounden duty of treating diseases and saving people.
As for Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, whose eyes were shining with excitement, he was just a tool in Cheng Chubi's eyes at the moment.
Anyway, His Highness the Crown Prince was instigated by him. No matter how bad Li Shimin was, he couldn't masturbate the Crown Prince just because of such a nonsense.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel very proud of his strategy of killing several birds with one stone.

Li Chengqian and Cheng Chubi returned to the side hall of Lizheng Hall and summoned Ning Zhong and a young eunuch who looked like him.
Li Chengqian sat on the couch, his eyes falling on Ning Zhong. "Ning Zhong, how about being alone with you?"
Ning Zhong was slightly stunned, glanced at Cheng Chubi who was standing next to Li Chengqian, and said with sincere fear.
"His Highness is naturally very kind to your slaves. Even if your servants are ruined, you will never be able to repay them."
"Well, that's good. I'll be tired for a while and need a good rest. No one should bother me here."
"In addition, Ning Zhong, you will ask him to buy some ingredients that I want to taste, do you understand?"
"Your Highness, I understand, but I wonder what ingredients Your Highness needs?" Ning Zhong asked quickly.
"As long as you understand, now, take off your clothes." Li Chengqian took a deep breath and pointed at the young eunuch next to Ning Zhong.
"???" Ning Zhong looked confused, and the young eunuch was also confused.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"I want to leave the palace incognito and observe the sentiments of the people." These ten words uttered by Li Chengqian made Ning Zhong's legs weaken and he fell to the floor.
#####
As a close eunuch of Li Chengqian, Ning Zhong heard that Li Chengqian wanted to leave the palace incognito to observe the public sentiment.
His mentality exploded on the spot, but the question was, how could he stop Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
But soon, Ning Zhong reacted and came to Cheng Chubi's side, his eyes filled with resentment and angrily.
"General Cheng, it's you."
"Ha... No matter what you say, I won't admit it." Cheng Chubi was too lazy to talk to Eunuch Ning, who was almost a head shorter than himself.
Ning Zhong, who was extremely angry, wanted to use his bastard punch and pounce on him, but when he saw Cheng Chubi's strong and sturdy body.
Thinking of the reputation of Lao Cheng's family, Ning Zhong felt that it would be better for him to convince others with reason.
"General Cheng, how can you encourage His Highness like this? Do you know that if something happens to His Highness, even if you have ten more heads, it won't be enough to cut him off."
"I didn't know before, but now I know." Cheng Chubi waved his hand unhappily, as if to shoo away flies.
"Eunuch Ning, after all, you are also His Highness's confidant. Shouldn't you consider the issue from His Highness's perspective?"
"What's wrong with Your Highness going out to understand the sufferings of the people? Why don't Your Majesty sneak out of the palace quietly to understand the people's conditions?"
Ning Zhong looked at Cheng Chubi's posture of hob-knife, and smoke almost came out of his nose.
"Your Highness is Your Highness, His Majesty is His Majesty, how can we generalize."
Cheng Chubi was immediately unhappy. This useless eunuch was jealous that Uncle Li had a biological son, wasn't he?
"Tsk, what you said is very problematic. Your Majesty is His Highness' biological father. As the saying goes, like father, like son."
"You actually dare to say that Your Highness and Your Majesty cannot be compared. Believe it or not, I will go to Your Majesty to sue you for defaming Your Majesty."
"You! You are simply being unreasonable and unreasonable. Your Highness..."
Ning Zhong was so angry that he almost cried. With red eyes, he turned to Li Chengqian for help.
Having already changed his clothes, he looked at Li Chengqian who was wearing a dark eunuch's robe with curiosity.
The dispute between these two people made them laugh and cry, so they quickly reconciled it.
"Okay, okay, Ning Zhong, your loyalty to Gu is very clear in Gu's heart. Well, don't worry, Gu will not make things difficult for you."
"If the officials of the East Palace find out anything, I will bear the full responsibility."
Outside the side hall, the elite Zuo Nei and the eunuchs who were waiting saw Eunuch Ning and Cheng Chubi coming out.
The little eunuch was still following behind him, but at this time, the little eunuch lowered his head, looking very downcast.
"General Cheng, I would like to trouble you to leave the palace and buy some ingredients for His Highness. Well... you go with General Cheng."
The dejected little eunuch hummed slightly, lowered his head, and followed Cheng Chubi quickly away.
After they had walked more than ten steps, Eunuch Ning couldn't help shouting in a tearful voice.
"You guys, you have to go early and come back early..."
