Just as Ning Zhong was getting closer and closer to them, Li Chengqian turned around and raised his hand to signal Ning Zhong to move away.
Ning Zhong quickly and obediently stopped, feeling sad in his heart. Sure enough, there were so many loyal people in the East Palace, but His Highness the Prince only favored Cheng Sanlang.
"Your Highness, something happened in the East Palace?" Cheng Chu asked as he walked slowly and slowly.
The sound was not loud enough for Li Chengqian, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with him, to hear clearly.
Li Chengqian took a deep breath, his voice seemed a bit low and authentic.
"Brother Chu Bi, do you know that in the past few days, for some reason, many people in the East Palace are talking about it..."
"It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is now an adult and has married a princess, but he still remains in the capital, which is inconsistent with etiquette."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help being stunned, and turned his head to look at Li Chengqian.
I saw Li Chengqian smile slightly bitterly and slowly shake his head.
"Brother Chu Bi, you should know what kind of loss I feel. This is definitely not what I meant..."
Cheng Chubi naturally believed in the prince, rolled his eyes for a long time, and asked in a low voice.
"You mean, they are worried about King Wei's incident after Zhan's incident?"
Li Chengqian nodded slowly.
"Yu Zhanshi did mention this matter to me once and thought that I should express my opinion, but I rejected it."
"But Yu Zhan reported it to his younger brother in private. There was no one else around, not even Ning Zhong knew about it."
"After these words came out in the East Palace, my younger brother asked Zhan Shi for confirmation. Zhan Shi also had a look of astonishment on his face and denied that he deliberately spread the news."
Having said this, Li Chengqian paused and considered his words.
"My younger brother believes in Yu Zhanshi's character. If he says it's not true, then it's not true."
"Your Highness is wise, and Yu Zhanshi is a gentleman. Well, I really praise him."
"...If Yu Qing knew Brother Chu Bi's words of praise for him, he would definitely be very happy."
"After my younger brother found out, he summoned all the officials and sternly reprimanded them, telling them to be silent and not to mention this matter again.
The ninth brother has always been gentle and soft-tempered, and has always been kind to others, which is definitely not the nature of the fourth brother Li Tai."
"Furthermore, whether the ninth brother will stay or not, Gu is not the right person to talk about it."
#####
Cheng Chubi pursed his lips and nodded slightly, but he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Is this Tang Gaozong in history really a good boy with a soft personality?
In another historical time and space, he could borrow the help of Changsun Wuji to kill his good brothers Li Ke and Fang Erlang who were wearing a pair of trousers.
Later, with the support of Li Ji and others, and despite the opposition of Changsun Wuji and others, he deposed Queen Wang, who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan in the Five Sects and Seven Hopes.
Later, he concocted a rebellion through the hands of the old man Tiancan who was now under his command, namely the treacherous and capable official Xu Jingzong.
Then Changsun Wuji and others were dismissed from their posts and exiled to Lingnan.
During this period, Emperor Gaozong, who had a soft personality, cried bitterly in front of his ministers. How could I bear to convict my uncle? How would future generations of historians view me? Uh-huh-huh...
As a result, after Changsun Wuji had just been exiled to Nannan, this yinying monster summoned the person who liked Xu Jingzong and others to retry the rebellion case.
I feel that just being exiled is not enough, far from enough. Unless you die, uncle, how can my nephew feel at ease?
So, once again, Li Zhi, who was wiping away his tears and had a soft personality, made the decision to kill his uncle very simply and neatly...
This kind of operation is simply outrageous, although some people may say that it is all Wu Zetian's method.
But in fact, Tang Gaozong, who had a soft personality, was the real talker, right?
"Brother Chu Bi, brother Chu Bi?"
After Li Chengqian saw Cheng Sanlang nodded, he frowned and walked slowly forward without saying a word for a long time, and couldn't help but remind him.
Cheng Chubi shook his head, shook off his chaotic thoughts, and began to analyze it seriously.
"What Your Highness said is absolutely true, and Your Highness is also right. However, it is hard to say whether the ministers in the East Palace can follow His Highness' wishes."
"If the news spreads, especially from the East Palace..."
"Yes, I am worried about this matter, and I am very depressed. I came here to find out what Brother Bi said."
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked not far away, and saw a young man wearing a cotton robe holding a boy shorter than him, running happily into the distance.
Thinking about it, they should be a pair of brothers, and my relationship with a group of brothers...
Li Chengqian smacked his mouth and turned to look at Brother Chu Bi who stood tall and upright next to him, as if no difficulty could ever trouble him. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Although Brother Chu Bi has no blood relationship with me, my relationship with him seems to be closer than that of a biological brother.
Cheng Chubi narrowed his eyes. As a member of the Cheng family, one must not have the intention to harm others and must be on guard against others.
Cheng Chubi felt that it would not be wrong to think about the worst in everything, especially when it came to the historical Emperor Gaozong.
Back then, in order to survive, he could lie down in the gutter and imitate the barking of dogs. After that, he kept a low profile to the point where people almost forgot his existence.
Now, after he had gathered the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family with the surname Qiwang, she suddenly appeared, which really made Cheng Sanlang suspicious.
"Your Highness, do you think those who spread this rumor have good intentions?"
"..." Li Chengqian shook his head slowly. "To be honest, I don't understand it very well, but I always feel that something is not right."
"After all, Brother Chu Bi, you also know very well that among the officials in the East Palace, there are only a few who are truly my confidants..."
Having said this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and Cheng Chubi patted Li Chengqian's shoulder understandingly.
There is no other way. If the East Palace is not a fence, why not let the Imperial Palace be a fence?
If the emperor is confused by the turmoil in the East Palace, haha...
You can't speak too clearly. Everyone who understands understands it. Even if he is a wise and powerful man today, after all what he has done, he is naturally afraid of what will happen.
What's more, he has now fully supported Li Chengqian, the eldest son, even to let the world understand his intentions.
Li Chengqian's eldest son Li Xiang was also clearly arranged to become the emperor's grandson.
"Your Highness, until there is no other news, I think you should do whatever you should do, just do it in an upright and dignified way."
"The other thing is, go to the palace more often. I heard that our Prince Jin has a very good character and is very filial and well-behaved."
"In this case, His Royal Highness is the eldest son of His Majesty, how can he not lead by example?"
"I also ask for instructions early, report late, and often hang out in front of your father..."
Cheng Chubi's voice gradually became quieter, while Li Chengqian kept talking. Although what brother Chubi said was indeed good advice, the choice of words and sentences always made people feel that something was wrong.
