Xu Jingzong stood next to Li Chengqian with a respectful attitude.
"Did he really say that?"
"Yes, according to reports from people we arranged to stay near his residence, he said so!
Your Highness the Crown Prince. He is clearly slandering the entire Tang Dynasty. He is denying all the efforts made by His Majesty. He dares to say that the Tang Dynasty is ill. Doesn’t that mean that His Majesty has not cured the Tang Dynasty? He dares to say such rebellious words.
exit."
Xu Jingzong was able to interpret it this way, he was indeed a great traitor of his generation.
Li Chengqian smiled.
"God is really helping me! If this is the case, it will be very beneficial to us!"
"That's right. It's best to read his book in front of His Majesty so that he will never be able to turn over. This is a good opportunity. His Royal Highness must seize it."
"Yes! This time, I let him know how powerful he is. The consequences of provoking me will be very tragic."
Xu Jingzong was fanning the flames.
"It would be best if His Majesty decrees that he should be eradicated completely."
Xu Jingzong’s words hit the point again.
"Okay! Let's go to Tai Chi Palace now! Talk to father about this matter."
"His Royal Highness is wise!"
"Of course, let's go!"
So the two of them headed towards Tai Chi Palace.
In the Imperial Garden of Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin, Queen Changsun and Princess Yang were enjoying the flowers.
This is a rare free time in the day.
Li Shimin cherished this period of time very much and used it to keep in touch with his concubines, especially the relationship between Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun.
At this moment, Li Chengqian and Xu Jingzong arrived.
"Meet my father!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Facing the arrival of the two men, Li Shimin felt very puzzled.
"Why are you here?"
"My son has something to report."
Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face.
"You can't wait until tomorrow to talk about anything.
Don’t you know what I’m doing now?”
"Father, this is not a trivial matter, so I hurriedly entered the palace to complain and ask for forgiveness from my father."
At this time, Empress Changsun persuaded: "Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what Gan'er has to say?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
As for Concubine Yang, she was also very curious, what on earth did the prince want to do?
The look he looked at the prince seemed unkind.
Concubine Yang may have realized that this matter was related to Li Min, and was he going to take revenge?
After all, Li Chengqian usually stayed in the East Palace and did not go out, but today he came here instead. He did not want to disturb Li Shimin's leisure.
This is unreasonable!
Li Shimin then said: "Well, if you have anything to say, you can tell me, I'm listening!"
"Yes! Father!"
Li Chengqian looked at Concubine Yang with an unkind look.
"According to what I know, the sixth brother colluded with the Confucian scholar, Lu Guogong and others among the people. He also said that the Tang Dynasty was sick! He was terminally ill! Such treasonous words were unexpectedly coming from the mouth of the sixth brother. I really can't listen.
Go down. So I came to look for my father and ask for his explanation."
Xu Jingzong also said: "Yes, what His Majesty the Sixth Prince said has the intention of harming the Tang Dynasty. He even questioned all the efforts made by His Majesty. If such words are spread, I am afraid that
It also has a bad impact.”
Li Shimin thought for a while, and his expression gradually solidified.
But at this time, Concubine Yang stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, to make such a fuss over just one sentence and one opinion, are you making too much of a fuss?"
Queen Changsun has always stood on the neutral ground.
She said: "Everything happens for a reason. Li Min will not say these things for no reason. There must be a reason. Your Majesty, why don't you go check and find out what the details are."
"Then under what circumstances did you say this?"
Xu Jingzong said: "I learned this from the conversation between the sixth prince and the Confucian scholar."
"Okay, let Kong Yingda enter the palace!"
You can feel that Li Shimin is a little angry.
It won't take a while.
Kong Yingda entered the Tai Chi Palace with small steps.
He didn't know why the emperor called him here today.
When he saw Xu Jingzong and Li Chengqian, he probably understood something.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
""Yingda, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"I don't know!"
"Now I'm asking you. You have to answer truthfully!"
"yes!"
Kong Yingda was a little scared.
"When did Li Min tell you that Datang was ill? Under what circumstances did he tell you?"
So that was it. He was worried for nothing!
Kong Yingda then said.
"The Sixth Prince is criticizing the structure of the Tang Dynasty. The bloated structure is extremely inefficient in getting things done!
In fact, this is also the case. The funds are allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs. If there is a connection and you break your leg, it will take a day or two. If there is no connection, you may even have to wait a month.
Such a bloated and ineffective organization needs to be changed! If there is a natural disaster in the future and the court wants to disburse funds, but the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Finance does not act, people will have long since starved to death. That's why the sixth prince said it."
"What did you say?"
Li Shimin was shocked. No one had told him this before!
When Kong Yingda said this, Queen Changsun followed suit.
"I think what Kong Ying said makes sense!
Regarding the bloated structure, which is a legacy of the previous administration, we must propose a reform plan to make all procedures faster."
Concubine Yang also said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Kong Yingda has been dealing with the saltpeter mine, but he has never come down. It is probably because of this reason, right? So this matter is not trivial. Fortunately, Kong Yingda can bring it up, so I
The body is meant to be taken care of, and Min'er is also off to a good start."
"Li Min really dares to speak out, and I am not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Fortunately, Qian'er brought this matter up, and I will naturally change it. I will order someone to handle this matter tomorrow!"
Li Chengqian didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
He didn't mean to be like this. Not only was Li Min fine, but he also caused trouble for the people in the Hu Department. If the Hu Department improved, he would even go to the other five departments.
"It's not a bad thing to have people among the people. If your majesty keeps paying attention, you can know more about the affairs of the people and benefit the Tang Dynasty."
Queen Changsun said.
"Your Majesty, this matter should not be brought up by the prince. What he should be concerned about now is his studies! I ask your majesty to increase the prince's study homework!"
At this time Kong Yingda came out and said.
"allow!"
Kong Yingda smiled, and Li Chengqian almost let himself fall.
He wanted to say, I am still your teacher, you have time to take care of this, why not study more.
"Father, my studies are already heavy enough, no need for that!"
"Huh? How dare you not listen to what I say?"
"Don't dare..."
"Okay, let's all go down. As for Li Min, pay close attention!"
"yes!"
The group of people waited until they left the palace. Li Chengqian must have felt particularly regretful at this time.
