Changsun Wuji raised his head and glanced at Cheng Sanlang suspiciously, then looked at the paper full of words.
Cheng Chubi's voice began to echo in his ears.
"This is a good plan that Cheng came up with for you after taking orders from His Majesty.
At least it allows you to stay in the Central Plains safely without having to go through all the trouble and leave your hometown to die alone..."
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji glanced at Cheng Sanlang again, and finally reached out to take it.
Looking at the plan prepared by Cheng Sanlang, he remained silent for a long time. However, his eyes gradually turned red and his lips trembled for a long time before he asked in a solemn voice.
"His Majesty asked you to come?"
"You think I can take the initiative?" Cheng Chubi asked unhappily.
Then I heard the sound of someone farting obscenely in the distance, and I turned my head and looked around.
Not seeing the immoral person, he could only retract his gaze angrily and raise his chin towards Changsun Wuji.
"This is His Majesty's love and care for you, and you will accept His Majesty's kindness with peace of mind.
Or do you want to leave your hometown and go thousands of miles away to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of our Tang Dynasty? That is your choice, Duke Zhao."
"You have always been at odds with a certain family, and you are a die-hard princeling. Even if His Majesty really finds you, even if you are forced to come up with an idea..."
At this point, Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked at Cheng Sanlang intently.
Cheng Chubi laughed happily. I will tell you that he came here because he couldn't stand His Majesty's clumsy provocation.
"Your analysis is correct, but I, Mr. Cheng, do something. Do I need to explain to you the reason?"
"Okay, you can make up your own mind, but before you make a decision, as Cheng said, think about your children and grandchildren, as well as your relatives and close friends who are worried about you."

Seeing Cheng Sanlang turn around and walk away into the distance, Changsun Wuji stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang and suddenly shouted.
"Wait a minute."
Cheng Chubi paused and turned his head, looking at Changsun Wuji with some confusion.
Changsun Wuji looked at Cheng Sanlang and spoke several times, unable to fart, until Cheng Sanlang frowned impatiently.
Changsun Wuji then gave a very stiff salute to Cheng Sanlang.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please thank His Majesty for my kindness. In addition, please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that my uncle is sorry for him..."
"Okay, I'll bring the message for you." Hearing this, Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this old boy seemed to be quite sensible.
At least he has fulfilled his father-in-law's instructions. Next, as for how Changsun Wuji wants to operate, that is his business. He does not need to give guidance on pretending to be sick.
As long as this old boy doesn't use Kaiselu for a period of time, the hidden disease will recur directly.
However, considering the shame of Changsun Wuji, a gentle man who abandoned martial arts and turned to literature, I am afraid that he would not be willing to use his hidden illness as an excuse.
While Cheng Chubi was thinking deeply and moving forward, he heard a faint sound and turned his head.
The dignified Crown Prince huddled behind a rockery and showed himself an awkward and slightly shy smile.
"..." Looking at the serious prince who was eavesdropping in the corner, Cheng Chubi knew whether he should praise him for his growth or complain about his unprofessional eavesdropping skills.
Cheng Chubi saluted Li Chengqian, stepped forward and said.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is worried about his uncle's safety, and is afraid that he is unwilling to accept the minister's kindness..."
The sincerity of his expression and the magnanimity of his eyes made Li Chengqian blush.
"As expected of Brother Chu Bi, he knows what I am thinking. Now that my uncle has agreed to your good plan, Brother Chu Bi, my father and mother should feel at ease."
The main reason why Li Chengqian eavesdropped was because he was worried about what Brother Chubi, whom Changsun Wuji had never dealt with, would do.
If there is any problem, you who are eavesdropping can stand up and be the peacemaker in time to prevent the situation from getting worse.
It seems that Brother Chu Bi has also seen through his own little thoughts, otherwise he would not be making excuses for himself like this.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile slightly. He was worthy of being Brother Chu Bi. This kind of brotherly love really warmed him both physically and mentally.

Two days later, Li Shimin visited the prison again, had a secret conversation with Changsun Wuji, who was facing crime, and then left.
The next day, Li Shimin finally announced the punishment decision on Jin Wang Li Zhi and Zhao Guogong eldest Sun Wuji in the court hall.
Li Zhi, the king of the Jin Dynasty, was fatuous and cowardly. He believed in slander and almost caused the Tang ancestral temple to collapse. He was young and ignorant, and was coerced by rebellious ministers and traitors.
Therefore, he was demoted to the king of Beihai County and immediately went to join the feudal vassal without being allowed to stay in Luoyang. In addition, his concubine Wang Shi was sent to a nun temple to guard the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.
After that, he dismissed the eldest son Sun Wuji from his official position, took away the title of Duke of Zhao, deposed him as a commoner, and exiled him to Lingnan.
However, Your Majesty was mindful of Changsun Wuji’s past meritorious service, and was also deceived by those rebellious officials and traitors, which led to this mistake.
Therefore, the Duke of Zhao's title was handed over to his grandson Changsun Yan, but his estate was reduced by half.
His son, Sun Chong, dismissed his post as Zongzheng Shaoqing and continued to retain the post of Prince Consort Duwei.
In addition, His Majesty has ordered the Crown Prince to come to the court for one day every five days to observe government affairs. The so-called "watching government" means that His Highness the Crown Prince can stay at the court meeting.
Sitting in the presence of His Majesty, His Majesty listened to the court meetings and discussed various military and state affairs. However, the prince was only responsible for admiring and seeing how His Majesty handled government affairs.
In other words, he went there with only his eyes and ears. If he wanted to speak, he could only speak after the court meeting was over, or when His Majesty gave permission. This was to observe the government.
In the past, after the crown prince was appointed, there would only be a few princes who received the emperor's permission and were qualified to watch the government.
And it is not routine. At most, when His Majesty is in a good mood, he will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come over and observe government affairs for a few days.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not among the ministers and does not need to enter the court. He has his own small court in his East Palace.
Now, His Majesty's methods have become clear to all civil and military officials in the court.
Li Zhi became the Prince of Beihai, and together with his fourth brother, Prince Qingque Donglai, stood on the land of Shandong.
Although they were demoted, at the same time, the two princes became feudal lords here.
It also means that the royal family has sent people close to them to suppress and monitor those Shandong aristocratic families who are trembling with suppression.
Coupled with the unprecedented decree that the Crown Prince observes the government every five days, it represents a kind of compensation from His Majesty to His Royal Highness.
At the same time, it also allowed people all over the world to understand the status and reliance of His Royal Highness in the eyes of the emperor.
Regarding His Majesty's handling of the situation, both the civil and military officials in the imperial court and the subordinate officials in the East Palace have finally settled down.
