Chapter 373 If my son is so disabled, why should he take on such an important responsibility? (Please subscribe and vote)
You must know that the instrument knife is usually only used during important court meetings. After all, who would take this thing like this without bothering it?
But this guy Cheng Laosan just copied this weapon that could smash people to pieces based on its weight. He stood there looking for power, and he became more and more murderous and unparalleled in power.
Once anyone spoke, Cheng Laosan would stare at the official of the East Palace who spoke.
Those fiercely gleaming eyes were so heart-stopping that even the voice that originally wanted to impeach loudly could not help but lower its voice by an octave.
As a result, whenever the officials in the East Palace want to impeach the prince, they will choose a day when Cheng Laosan is not on duty.
Even if it is covered by a bamboo curtain, you can speak loudly without too much scruples.
Li Chengqian sat peacefully on the couch behind the bamboo curtain, listening calmly and calmly to the speeches of the Dongguan officials.
Only on days when Brother Chu Bi was on duty, Li Chengqian felt that he was the most relaxed, because most of the ministers and servants only talked about things honestly.
The meetings in the East Palace are different from the emperor's court meetings. The emperor's court meetings deal with many government affairs in the world.
The meeting in the East Palace is more like a review of the emperor's court meeting. The subordinate officials will bring out the important issues in the previous court meeting held by His Majesty the Emperor.
Let everyone discuss and analyze, and by the way, evaluate the handling opinions given by the important ministers in the DPRK.
The prince can also learn about the government affairs of the court and the attitudes and methods of handling these government affairs by the important civil and military ministers in the court.
For more than an hour, many officials from the East Palace spoke one after another and expressed their respective attitudes.
The young prince, Zhang Xuansu, who had repeatedly asked the emperor to let him serve as an official, had several conflicts with the rough old man Cheng Chubi.
I even went to His Majesty to complain, but failed to get His Majesty's support. Now I am much more honest.
At least when Cheng Chubi was on duty, he almost didn't say a word, including today.

Following Li Chengqian's signal, all the officials from the East Palace stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian before slowly exiting the Li Zheng Hall.
It was only then that Cheng Chubi put down the ritual knife in his hand, and then began to move his hands and feet.
After standing for half an hour, my whole body felt a little stiff, especially my eyes, which I had to rub because my eyes hurt my mother-in-law.
Hearing Li Chengqian's greeting from behind the curtain, Cheng Chubi also walked behind the curtain, sat on the cushion brought by Ning Zhong, and took a sip of tea.
"Brother Chubi, I have decided... I will listen to you and do the surgery." Looking at Cheng Chubi, Li Chengqian said seriously.
"You made your decision so quickly?" Cheng Chubi smacked his lips. He originally thought that this indecisive prince would think about it for ten days and a half.
As a result, after only a few days of hard work, I actually made up my mind.
Facing Cheng Chubi's astonished expression, Li Chengqian said seriously.
"Well, Brother Chu Bi, you are right, you should take good control of your own destiny."
Cheng Chubi looked at Li Chengqian's serious face and thought for a moment. "When will Your Highness plan to tell His Majesty?"
"today."
"..."

Man Dew Hall, Cheng Chubi and Li Chengqian wandered to the Man Dew Hall, but His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had not left the court yet.
The two brothers did not enter the temple, but admired the scenery of early summer outside the temple and communicated quietly.
After about Zhu Xiang's time, the gentle and quiet Queen Changsun received the news and hurried to the front of Ganlu Hall.
"Why are you here, but you want to see your father for something?" Empress Changsun took matters into her own hands and helped Li Chengqian into the Manna Palace.
After Li Chengqian sat down, he gently patted the lame leg with his big hand, looked at Empress Changsun and said cautiously.
"Mom, my child has made up his mind and wants to ask Cheng Sanlang to perform surgery on this leg."
"Chengqian, you..." Empress Changsun's face was full of astonishment, and she subconsciously glanced at Cheng Chubi who was standing aside.
"Mother, it is the child's decision that has nothing to do with anyone else." Li Chengqian quickly defended himself.
Empress Changsun nodded slightly, and then said after thinking for a moment. "Chengqian, you... couldn't be because of..."
Li Chengqian bowed to Empress Changsun, stood up and spoke loudly.
"My mother, my son, and my son are the princes of the Tang Dynasty and the crown prince of the country. Now, such a gesture really damages the royal dignity."
"I don't want to be surrounded by pity eyes all the time, or that the court is filled with voices criticizing my immorality."
"My son also wants to be a wise king like his father. How can he take on such an important responsibility if he is disabled?"
Empress Changsun looked blankly at her eldest son Chengqian, whose eyes were a little red, and it was rare for him to express his thoughts and demands loudly.
This was the first time that I heard this well-behaved and filial eldest son speak so loudly.
It could be seen that he was a little nervous, his hands were clenched into fists, and his voice was trembling.
Li Chengqian was also observing his mother. Looking at his mother's expression, he went from surprise at first to astonishment.
Gradually, he listened attentively, and his eyes that were originally full of love and affection became a little more appreciative and encouraging.
Li Chengqian gradually relaxed under his mother's gaze, but he still did not forget to try to make his voice louder.
Yes, I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the crown prince of the country. I should make my voice heard.
I want to make decisions for my own future instead of just drifting and feeling sorry for myself.
#####
No one expected that at some point, His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, would already be standing outside the Manlu Palace.
He stood with his hands behind his back, out of sight in the palace, listening silently to Li Chengqian's slightly excited and trembling voice.
The guards, eunuchs and others at the gate of Ganlu Palace had all been driven away early by Zhao Kun.
Li Shimin listened to those words carefully, as if he was afraid of missing every word. But in his heart, there was a thought that he couldn't tell whether it was emotion or relief.
It was as if I saw myself back then, prostrating myself before my father.
It turns out that the world is in chaos, heroes are rising together, and the previous dynasty has lost its deer. It is the best time for the Li family in Longxi to rise up.
At that time, I was motivated by my vigorous ambition.
But today, Cheng Qian, who prostrates himself in front of his wife, is bravely expressing that he can control his own destiny.
Growing up, really starting to grow up... Li Shimin shook his head slowly, but the smile on his face revealed an indescribable joy.
