Chapter 308 Uncle, I believe he is not that kind of person (please subscribe and vote)
Changsun Wuji stroked his three long strands of beard and pondered for a long time before speaking. "Nephew Jiaqing, I did not do many things right."
"I am his uncle, and also your uncle. As an elder, I really don't want your many years of friendship to disappear in one fell swoop."
Li Chengqian frowned slightly, but remained silent and waited for Changsun Wuji to continue.
"A few days ago, my uncle went to Luoyang for business. He has not returned yet. I heard that my nephew has taken the initiative to resign as a student in the East Palace..."
Seeing the probing gaze cast by Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian shook his head.
"I don't know much about this matter. I have asked him before, but he didn't want to say more."
"Well, since you don't know, forget it. But Prince, you shouldn't have had a conflict with Changshi Kong the day before yesterday."
When Li Chengqian heard the words "Kong Changshi" and looked at his uncle who was chatting in front of him, a fire arose in his heart for no reason.
"What does uncle mean by this?" Even though he suppressed his anger, his tone still seemed a bit harsh.
Changsun Wuji said nonchalantly, "It's true that you are the crown prince of the country, but you are still young and have not encountered many problems.
These ministers that Your Majesty has found for you are all my ministers who are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty."
"If you can humbly accept advice, treat others with kindness, and gain their loyalty, you will be able to help you when you ascend the throne in the future."
These words made Li Chengqian a little unhappy. "Uncle, what you mean is that they will impeach Yu Gu even if it is something as trivial as sesame seeds."
"Is it necessary for me to accept advice with an open mind, or even to do it myself?"
Hearing this rhetorical question, Changsun Wuji stopped talking to himself in astonishment, and his eyes fell on Li Chengqian's face.
He saw this little nephew who had always seemed very well-behaved and filial to him since he was a child.
It seems that I haven't seen him for just a few months, and suddenly I feel a lot stranger.
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian steadily. He saw that there was still awe and timidity in Li Chengqian's eyes.
However, he stubbornly stared directly at himself without looking away.
Changsun Wuji frowned slightly and stroked his beard for a long time before saying, "Uncle knows that you have many grievances in your heart."
"But you must know that these ministers sent by your Majesty are all highly reputable ministers of the Tang Dynasty."
"Just like Kong Yingda, who is the successor of the sage Kong. He is very knowledgeable and his literary name is known all over the world. Such scholars are indeed not very good-tempered."
"But after all, he is also an elder, and he is your father's trusted minister..."
Looking at this caring uncle, Li Chengqian's heart grew colder and colder without realizing it.
Before, I had always had a vague feeling that although my uncle and my mother were the same family, they were different after all.
However, his father has always been aloof from others, but his uncle is happy to teach him through words and deeds.
Although there was some nagging and many words that made Li Chengqian feel uncomfortable, he always believed that his uncle was thinking about him wholeheartedly.
But now, I have gradually grown up and almost have a wife.
But in his uncle's eyes, he seemed to be a child who would never grow up.
What you need is not to be respected, but to be like in the past, you should listen to me, I am thinking about you.
"My uncle must have just returned to Chang'an and came to see me, right?" Li Chengqian's hands curled up in his sleeves were already clenched into fists.
"It's natural. I just returned to Chang'an this morning." Changsun Wuji said matter-of-factly.
Li Chengqian sat up straight, his smile still showing respect for his elders. "Could it be that Changshi Kong went to visit his uncle immediately?"
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face, but he still looked calm and gentle.
"That's not true, but after all, my uncle is the official minister and an important minister in the court. It shouldn't be difficult to know something."
Yes, Kong Yingda did visit him, but did he need to tell the whole story to the prince, a junior, about such a trivial matter?
Li Chengqian nodded slightly.
"That being the case, my uncle should also know my father's attitude. My father doesn't think I'm in the wrong."
"...I didn't say you were at fault. I just hope you will think more carefully next time when dealing with such a matter."
Changsun Wuji said this and sighed. "That's all, Prince, you are getting older and have your own ideas and thoughts."
"I am only pleased. I just feel that the prince needs to be more cautious sometimes."
Seeing that his uncle was no longer obsessed with this matter, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded honestly. "Thank you uncle for your advice."
"By the way, how is your leg?" Changsun Wuji's eyes fell on Li Chengqian's diagonally stretched foot.
"It has not yet fully recovered. Although my feet can touch the ground, they cannot be fully straightened. I will feel pain when I walk."
Changsun Wuji shook his head with an ugly expression on his face.
"I didn't expect those imperial doctors to be such useless people. They couldn't even heal their legs. I'm really angry."
"Take good care of me. I hope that after your marriage is completed, your leg injury will be gone. In this way, I can feel at ease."
After receiving the concern from his uncle, Li Chengqian was quite heartwarming and nodded in response.
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath at this time and said seriously to Li Chengqian.
"By the way, there is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"What do you mean by this, uncle? I am your nephew. If you have anything to say, just say it." Li Chengqian replied with a smile.

"Did you know that Cheng Chubi has had a bad reputation in Chang'an over the past few months?"
"Since Jiucheng Palace was returned to Chang'an, the imperial censor has been impeached constantly, and he is arrogant and domineering.
Relying on his father's power and your favor, the prince, he acts recklessly..."
"In the last month alone, there were as many as seven censors impeaching him, Cheng Chubi, and dozens of memorials were filed."
"Uncle... although Cheng Sanlang is a little reckless, he is by no means wanton. What's more, even the emperor and the empress like him very much."
"It is precisely because of the favor of the Heavenly Family that he pretends to be loyal and honest in front of you, but in fact he is a villain with ulterior motives."
"Uncle!" Li Chengqian suddenly stood up from the couch, suppressing his rising anger, and after a while he said to the astonished Changsun Wuji.
"I believe he is not that kind of person. Uncle, you don't need to say anything more."
"Prince, why are you doing this?" Changsun Wuji stood up with a look of annoyance and helplessness on his face. "Do you know, for the sake of a general's disciple?"
"To offend those capable ministers and officials who are supposed to be your help, this is simply..."
"What is that?" Li Chengqian's face gradually turned cold, and he looked at Changsun Wuji with utter disappointment.
He really didn't expect that his uncle's biggest purpose was to tell him that Cheng Sanlang, who sincerely helped him, was a bad person.
