Li Yuanchang is a member of the clan, and a lot of news comes from the clan. "What did the clan members say? Do you support me returning to Chang'an?"
"King of Han, there is a rumor in the clan that Zhang Yang and Changsun Wuji are the two most powerful relatives today. Many people in the clan support King Han's return to Chang'an City, and there are also many who oppose it."
"Objection? What do I have against going to worship my father?"
"The King of Han." The attendant said anxiously: "Zhang Yang rejected the request of the King of Han. The people in the clan did not dare to offend Li Shan, so they objected."
Li Yuanchang was so angry that he lifted the desk in front of him, "I went to worship my father out of filial piety. Why does Zhang Yang care about my family affairs?"
The roar frightened several attendants and staff nearby to tremble.
"King of Han! King of Han!" The guard outside the door came in a hurry, "Your Majesty has issued your decree. The King of Han can return to Chang'an City."
"Hahaha!"
Li Yuanchang turned his anger into a smile, "Okay! I just said that Zhang Yang can't control my family affairs."
At this moment in Lishan, Zhang Yang saw the prince who looked worried.
Li Chengqian bowed and said: "Although my father agreed to this matter, he is very dissatisfied."
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "As the saying goes, it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away. It is not so easy to invite the King of Han to Chang'an and want him to leave."
"But……"
"I know that His Highness the Crown Prince is a generous man. If the King of Han makes such a request out of filial piety, Your Highness will definitely agree."
Zhang Yang interrupted his words and continued: "If you reject the King of Han's request, some people will naturally say that Your Majesty is narrow-minded. If Your Majesty invites the King of Han to perform filial piety, that is tolerance."
Li Chengqian said: "My father is naturally tolerant."
"Yes, so His Highness the Crown Prince spoke, and His Majesty had no choice but to agree." Zhang Yang clicked his tongue and said, "The only thing that happened was that His Highness spoke."
"This..." Li Chengqian held his forehead in frustration, "After your guidance, I now understand how stupid I am."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The King of Han's little idea is just to show off his pity and make the prince feel compassionate, so he understands the prince's temperament very well. If he wants to return to Chang'an City at any other time, the prince will definitely not agree, but this matter concerns Gang Chang.
Filial piety, as a junior and because of filial piety, His Royal Highness will naturally agree, and he will naturally speak to His Majesty."
"If the prince pretends that he has not seen the letter from the King of Han, your majesty will not ask any more questions."
Li Chengqian quickly saluted, "What should I do now? My father has already agreed. What should I do if I can't send the King of Han away in the future?"
Li Shimin's method of teaching children is not easy to comment on. He also wants to test his children and does not provide positive guidance.
I remembered the words of Duke Zhao again, it was not easy to be the emperor's son-in-law.
Although he had nothing to deal with Changsun Wuji, his words made more sense the more he thought about it afterwards.
This is all based on his many years of experience as a relative of the emperor.
Since they are all relatives, we still need to listen to his opinions more.
"Has your Royal Highness met Duke Zhao?"
"I'm ashamed to say that my uncle is ill. I know that he doesn't want to see me because of this matter, so I came to bother Lishan."
"It is not because Zhao Guogong does not want to see His Highness, but Lishan rejected his request. Based on the principle that it has nothing to do with him, this old fox will not meddle in other people's business."
"You are really..." Li Chengqian listened to him speaking ill of Zhao Guogong. He couldn't comment for a while, but he felt that it was really like this and it made sense.
"But I am not Duke Zhao." Zhang Yang smiled.
The friendship with the prince started from his marriage. The prince and his wife could get married by him and his daughter-in-law. Zhang Yang scratched his head. Although the two families moved less and less since then, the love has always been there.
The Crown Princess often wrote to Li Shan for advice, and often wrote letters to her daughter-in-law.
Zhang Yang can also learn about the current situation of the East Palace from his wife.
It's just that the more favors the prince owes to Lishan, the less satisfied Li Shimin will be.
Because he is the crown prince, he is destined to keep a distance from many people, unlike Li Tai and Li Ke, or Li Zhi who still has a few close friends.
If this favor was given to the prince, Li Shanshan would be more suspicious of the emperor, and his suspicion of Li Shan would not last for a day or two.
If you don't help with this, it will embarrass the prince and be looked down upon by the emperor.
Will Li Shimin be unable to handle Li Yuanchang?
It's not just that he wants to train his son's abilities.
Changsun Wuji is an old fox, and Li Shimin is the fox among foxes.
Zhang Yang folded his hands and said melancholy: "Does His Highness the Crown Prince have a token to pass the order?"
Li Chengqian took out a gold medal from his sleeve and said, "This is Gu's token. It can command the right leader of the East Palace."
After taking the token, Zhang Yang put it in his arms and said, "Go back."
"go back?"
"His Royal Highness, please go back."
"You still have Gu's token in your hand, you..."
Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "With the prince's token, I can arrange the next matters and return it to the prince when the matter is completed."
Li Chengqian warned: "You must return it to the orphan."
"Your Highness, don't worry."
"Thank you very much."
"I won't send it."
Zhang Yang looked at the station not far away and played with the Prince's Order gold medal in his hand.
Li Shimin is the emperor, so he can only be a tolerant person and allow Han Wang Li Yuanchang to return to Chang'an City.
But the prince is different, he doesn't have so many burdens.
Zhang Yang looked at the prince's car driving farther and farther in the distance, and smiled in amazement, "Damn it! They were all transformed by foxes."
"Who turned into a fox?"
There were voices beside me, and I lowered my head to see my daughter. This girl was behind me at some point.
The son keeps messing around all day long, and the daughter is always in trouble.
Zhang Yang explained: "They are all foxes."
Zhang Qingqing asked: "Who are they?"
"You should go to Mr. Ouyang Xun for lessons at this time."
"Oh, the time has come." She finally came to her senses and urged Xiong Da to go to the old gentleman's house.
Zhang Yang walked to the other end of the village with the prince's token.
That night, Li Tai came to Weinan County with the token.
"Qingque, why are you here?" Li Daozong led the people into the house.
"My brother-in-law asked me to come." After Li Tai sat down, he placed a token on the table.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This...is this the crown prince's token from the East Palace?"
"Actually, my nephew doesn't want to meddle in the prince's business, but it concerns the King of Han, and he doesn't want to see this man cause trouble to his father after he returns to Chang'an."
Li Daozong pushed the token back, and the thick gold medal made a unique friction sound on the table.
Li Tai added: "I may need your uncle to be a villain for once. If the prince fails to live up to his expectations, he can only ask his uncle for help."
"It doesn't matter, Zhang Yang has helped me so much and wants to return this favor to him."
"Brother-in-law has his own principles and bottom line, especially when it comes to people in the clan. It's best if the relationship between the two is clear."
The uncle and nephew discussed it for a long time.
The next day, Li Yuanchang came to Weinan County. After receiving His Majesty's order, he traveled under the stars and at night.
Weinan is the only way from Tongguan to Chang'an City. Li Yuanchang was stopped by a group of people, "Who are you?"
The other party took out a token and said loudly: "The prince has an order."
Hearing this, Li Yuanchang smiled and said, "It turned out to be the prince's order."
"The Crown Prince ordered that Han King Li Yuanchang must be searched before entering Chang'an City."
"Search me?" Li Yuanchang said to the guards behind him: "You all come forward and search your body for them. Quick! Don't waste my time."
Seeing the eagerness on King Han's face, the other party added: "King Han also wants to search himself."
Li Yuanchang asked suspiciously: "Why?"
"It's the prince's order. I have no choice but to follow it."
"Cheng Qian, did he really give this order?"
"Does the King of Han think that the Crown Prince's token is fake?"
Li Yuanchang was still unwilling to dismount. He looked around and said, "I don't know you."
"Does the King of Han still know everyone in the East Palace?"
The words came from behind. Li Yuanchang pulled the reins and looked back, and smiled again: "Brother Daozong?"
Li Daozong can be regarded as Li Yuanchang's cousin in the clan.
Wearing a blue round-collar robe and ordinary cloth shoes, he explained: "This is the prince's order. I have been specifically informed of it. Please obey the arrangement and don't mess around."
"good."
After waiting for Li Daozong's words, Li Yuanchang got off his horse and asked them to search him.
However, during the search, all the belongings and luggage in the carriage were taken away, and even several female family members were detained.
"What are you doing?"
"This is also the prince's order."
Li Yuanchang wanted to yell angrily, but seeing Li Daozong present was not easy for him to get angry, so he gritted his teeth secretly and endured it, and waited until he returned to Chang'an City to worry about the matter again.
After the body search, Li Yuanchang continued to ride towards Chang'an City.
Less than a mile away, he was stopped again by officers and soldiers.
"Who are you? Get out of the way quickly."
A group of people from the other side stopped us and said, "Please be patient, King Han."
"What to do?"
"Don't be anxious, King Han, please wait a moment."
Li Yuanchang sat on his horse and looked around, becoming more and more suspicious in his heart, but he just confronted these officers and soldiers.
Suddenly, a man rode up quickly and reported: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked how the King of Han's troops and horses are doing."
The other party received the words and said loudly: "King of Han! Have you trained your troops?"
Li Yuanchang looked vaguely uneasy, "What kind of military training are you training? Can you tell us more later?"
"King of Han, don't pretend to be stupid. We are the prince's people. Just tell us."
Li Yuanchang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Where is the prince? I want to see the prince!"
The other party added: "Don't be nervous, King Han. Just tell the truth. This is all arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Yuanchang pulled the reins and asked the horse to retreat. He looked at the other party suspiciously, "I felt something was wrong from the beginning. Where are Zhao Jie and Li Anyan, the right leaders of the East Palace?"
"The humble position is unclear."
"You are not from the East Palace! The guards of the East Palace will not talk to me like this, who do you belong to?"
Another group of soldiers came up behind him, holding volumes of letters in their hands.
Li Yuanchang was sweating like rain, and said again: "Who are you? I want to see His Highness."
At this moment, Li Daozong came with his troops and horses and shouted angrily: "Dismount!"
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Dismount me!"
Li Daozong shouted angrily again.
Li Yuanchang was so frightened that he looked confused and confused.
When the man dismounted, Li Daozong stepped forward quickly, kicked him to the ground, took out a scroll and asked, "What's going on?"
"What?" Li Yuanchang looked flustered.
"What is your relationship with Princess Qi's father, Wei Ting, the Huangmen servant?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanchang turned pale and said, "My younger brother doesn't know what my elder brother is talking about."
He thought for a moment and suddenly said: "My brother doesn't know him, oh! It seems that I left a tribute in Tongguan, so I'm going to get it now."
After that, Li Yuanchang was about to leave.
"King of Han, are you not going to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor? The Crown Prince is waiting."
They are definitely not the prince's people, but they have the prince's token. Who else in the world can take the East Palace token except the prince?
Could it be...
He can even kill his own brothers, and is extremely ruthless.
He would have shown some mercy back then, not to mention that his father has passed away now.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanchang suddenly trembled like chaff and whispered: "It won't be too late to come back in a few days."
After saying this, the King of Han quickly ran away with his men, not even wanting to take the horse.
Afterwards, Li Daozong came to Weinan County and walked into a house.
Li Tai was eating tea eggs here, "Uncle Emperor, how are the arrangements?"
Li Daozong put a pile of letters on the table and remained silent.
"Does he have a motive for rebellion?"
"These letters are all ordinary letters, nothing special." Li Daozong put his hands on his knees, sitting cross-legged and said angrily: "According to what you told me, I asked, Li Yuanchang found an excuse to escape, he must have moved.
Treasonous thoughts.”
Li Tai was speechless as he ate the tea eggs, with a bit of worry in his eyes.
Li Daozong asked suspiciously again: "How did Zhang Yang know that Li Yuanchang is still in contact with Wei Ting, the father of Princess Qi?"
"Uncle Emperor, please stop guessing. There are some things that even I don't know. I got it right this time."
Li Daozong thought that this Li Yuanchang only bullied the weak, and would be submissive to those who were tough. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who could rebel.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Taiqi said: "Thank you, Uncle Emperor. My brother-in-law said that nothing more can happen to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Daozong nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Half a month passed, and Li Yuanchang didn't come back, let alone go to Tongguan to pick up the fallen tribute. He escaped without a trace.
Before the King of Han came back, he waited for His Majesty's decree. King Li Yuanchang of Han was demoted to a commoner, and his towns and fiefs were abolished.
The day after the decree was sent out, Wei Ting was executed by his entire family.
Li Shimin was sitting in the Xingqing Hall, listening to Li Daozong's report, and nodded: "Is the prince deeply involved in this matter?"
Li Daozong glanced at Li Junxian who was standing aside.
The palace was very quiet. All the eunuchs, maids and guards were outside the palace and could not hear what was said in the palace.
"The last general inquired about Princess Qi's father, Wei Ting, and found out that the prince was involved in the conspiracy between the King of Han and Wei Ting. The King of Han knew three years ago that King Qi had betrayed his heart, and he was on good terms with Wei Ting, so he deliberately kept it secret.
Wei Ting's daughter is the Princess of Qi, and she was implicated by the King of Qi. He has been dissatisfied with His Majesty recently, and that's why he turned against the King of Han."
"It is true that they have the will to rebel, and they also have the words to rebel, but without the support of the prince, they dare not start an uprising."
Li Shimin looked at the volumes of letters that he had searched and said in a deep voice: "I miss Wei Ting's hard work and will not let him be affected by the Qizhou incident and continue to serve in the court, but he hates me so much!"
Li Daozong lowered his head and said nothing. It didn't matter whether the prince was involved or not. This was not something Li Junxian could talk about.
Now that Li Yuanchang has been deposed and Wei Ting has been killed, it doesn't matter anymore.
The prince is the crown prince. Your Majesty only hopes that the prince will sit well in the East Palace and erase all disadvantages to the East Palace. At least he will not be blamed.
It's time to put the blame for this matter on Princess Qi's father, Wei Ting.
The truth is not important, what is important is what kind of result His Majesty wants.
