Li Shimin smiled happily when he saw the face of Ying Guo's biological son, which was so red that it could rival a monkey's butt.
"You and Cheng Sanlang had a good drink. Well, if you have difficulties in the future and can't find a way, you can also use this method..."
Hearing that his own father actually said such words, Li Ke couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
It seems that he risked his life, uh, and rushed to report the matter in time despite the smell of alcohol. As expected, he got another credit.
Just as Li Shimin finished speaking, he heard the gentle yet delicate cough of his beloved wife, the eldest grandson, the Empress, coming from behind him.
Li Shimin's eyelids twitched, and he slapped Li Ke's shoulder twice with a big slap.
"But Ke'er, if you drink too much of something like wine, it's easy to harm your health. On weekdays, it's better to drink less. Do you understand?"
Faced with his father's abnormal behavior of not matching his words, and his mother's coughing, Li Ke almost burst into laughter.
However, considering that his own father liked to use loving fists and kicks to deepen the impression of a loving father and a filial son, Li Ke still bowed his head obediently.
"Cheng Sanlang, do you have anything else to say? Come on, let's talk to my father in detail?"
"...Well, Brother Chu Bi said that General Cheng was hosting a banquet at home again today and he had to rush back. He left without a few words."
Empress Changsun pursed her lips vigorously. As expected of Cheng Yaojin, Your Majesty did not allow him to leave the palace, but she could not stop him.
Without leaving the house, he can still invite friends to the house to have fun. His good attitude is definitely the best in the Tang Dynasty.
"..." Li Shimin's face couldn't help but darken. "That old guy, even if he is ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes, he will not be at peace."
"That's all, then you..." Seeing Li Ke's expression that instantly turned frightened, Li Shimin stopped talking.
Even my own son didn't drink when he went to Lu Guogong's mansion. He went in straight and came out sideways. Now, wouldn't it be a typical delivery of food?
Those vulgar warriors don't care whether this junior prince goes to deliver the decree or not.
Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and directly photoshopped his own son who was blushing like a monkey's butt in his mind.
"Zhao Kun."
"I'm here!" Zhao Kun quickly stepped forward with his head held high and saluted His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Hurry to Duke Lu's mansion and invite Cheng Sanlang over. Tell him that I have urgent business and ask him to enter the palace immediately."
"I accept the order." Seeing the emperor's urgency, Zhao Kun quickly obeyed the order and left quickly.
#####
Just as Zhao Kun was leaving the palace, he was galloping towards the Duke Lu's Mansion.
The news that Cheng Sanlang broke the skylight immediately caused a huge uproar in the mansions of the aristocratic families in Luoyang City.
Especially those aristocratic families who have benefited from Luoyang are the most nervous.
Those officials who came from aristocratic families quietly sent out their trusted messengers to travel between various houses.
Especially the officials who were born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, everyone was in danger at this moment and gathered in the Zheng family's old house in Luoyang.
Mr. Zheng, the second master, was sitting in the study very obediently at the moment. His father, who had a beard as thick as snow, looked at the table in front of him with a gloomy look.
The fingers were tapping gently, and there were several Zheng clan elders on the left and right who rushed over after receiving the news.
"Mr. Yuan Shougong, what should we do now? Your Majesty has sent people to take Zheng Guangsuo to Dali Temple."
"Zheng Guang has been the lord of Luoyang for nearly ten years, and everything has passed through his hands. If he opens his mouth, not only I, the Zheng family in Xingyang, will be implicated by him."
"I'm afraid that many Central Plains families will also treat me, the Zheng family, because of Zheng Guang..."
"Why are you panic?!" Zheng Yuanshou, who had experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties and was regarded by Li Shimin as the Su Wu and Zhang Qian of his time, couldn't help but glared and rebuked.
"We, the Central Plains aristocratic families, are in the same spirit. I, the Zheng family in Xingyang, have benefited from it, and they have also received a lot of benefits."
"Zheng Guang is very loyal to his clan and a capable official. Unfortunately, he was captured by His Majesty and captured from Dali Temple."
"The most important thing is to think about how to solve future problems."
When they heard the words "solve future troubles", several elders of the Zheng clan's eyes twitched in unison.
"What Duke Yuan Shougong said is absolutely true. But now, this is the only way."
"This matter is very involved. Even I, the Zheng family of Xingyang, can't protect him. It's better to make everyone feel at ease."
Zheng Yuanshou's eyes roamed over the Zheng clan elders for a long time, and he called an elder to come forward and spoke softly.
"Qi Lang, we, the Zheng family, are not allowed to reveal our heads or tails in this matter. Just go ahead..."
The clan elder quickly understood, cupped his hands towards Zheng Yuanshou, and strode quickly outside the study.
When Qilang left, Zheng Yuanshou's eyes fell on his second son, and he spoke earnestly and sincerely.
"Zheng Guang's family members, Erlang, must be well settled. Don't treat the orphans and widows lightly. For those who work hard for my Zheng family..."
"Father, the child understands."
Mr. Zheng Er felt a chill in his heart. He bowed respectfully to his own father, who had been serving as an official for many years but had a very poor brain, and then turned around and retreated.
"Mr. Yuan Shougong, will doing this anger Your Majesty?"
Zheng Yuanshou stroked his long snow-white beard and smiled. "What if your Majesty is angry?"
"You gentlemen, please don't forget that nearly half of the officials in the world are from aristocratic families."
"When Zheng Guang dies, His Majesty may be furious, but without witnesses, how can His Majesty be able to wipe out all the wealthy families in the world?"
"Your Majesty is not the Sui Yang Emperor of the previous dynasty."
As Zheng Yuanshou, who had experienced both the Sui and Tang dynasties, held important positions in the imperial court, and was highly valued by the emperor, these words came out of his mouth.
The elders of the Zheng clan would not say much. Anyway, since the Duke Yuan Shougong, who has high moral standing and has been through the ups and downs of the officialdom for a long time, is so sure, what else can he do if he doesn't listen to him?
Besides, as long as the person who made Zheng Guang fuss wasn't a member of the Zheng family, there would be no problem.

At this moment, the steward of Cheng Mansion was squatting at the door, bragging and spanking with the stewards of various houses, fulfilling his duty of companionship.
Hearing the sound of galloping hooves, he turned around and saw that it was Zhao Kun, the leader of the bodyguards beside His Majesty. He hurried forward to greet him.
"I have seen General Zhao. Could it be that Your Majesty wants to see my master for something?"
Zhao Kun shook his head after greeting these stewards from his noble family.
"This general is here to find your third son. Your Majesty has given instructions to him to come to the palace immediately to see you. Your Majesty wants to see him today no matter what, to discuss important matters."
Seeing the seriousness of the normally unsmiling General Zhao, the steward naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"Okay, okay, please invite General Zhao to come into the house for a while. I will go and invite the Third Young Master to come over..."
