Li Shimin, who was dealing with government affairs in the Manlu Hall, heard the footsteps of Queen Changsun and raised his head.
I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw Empress Changsun serving herself a cup of steaming chrysanthemum tea in a gentle and virtuous manner.
"My husband happens to feel a little thirsty. Well, if nothing else, I feel quite refreshed after drinking this chrysanthemum tea these days."
"As long as it's useful, please don't work too hard, husband." Empress Changsun smiled sweetly, glanced across the hall, and asked seemingly casually.
"Hey, is it possible that Mr. Kong isn't here?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea to moisten his throat. "No, what?"
"Oh, I just heard that there was a minor conflict in the East Palace, so I came here specifically to ask my husband if he knew about it."
Li Shimin reacted immediately. "Could it be related to Kong Qing?"
Empress Changsun nodded and replied, "It is said that Kong Changshi and Cheng Sanlang had a dispute."
Li Shimin was immediately stunned and said after a long time. "That's not right. Kong Changshi is responsible for reading and telling history to the prince. What does Cheng Laosan have to do with him?"
"I don't know the reason for this, but I heard that Kong Changshi seems to be a little... too harsh on the prince.
Husband, you don’t know what kind of temper this kid Cheng Sanlang is..."
"Your Majesty, Kong Yingda, the regular servant of Sanqi, has something important to ask for." At this time, a voice came from outside the palace.
Li Shimin's face darkened slightly. Empress Changsun stood up slowly and was about to leave.
"Guanyin Maid, can you wait inside?" Li Shimin pointed behind him. Empress Changsun nodded meekly, walked into the inner room, and quietly closed the door.
After a short while, an angry-looking Kong Yingda walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
"I see your Majesty. I ask your Majesty to make the decision for me and severely punish Cheng Chubi, the deputy leader led by Zuo Nei of the East Palace."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, motioned to Kong Yingda to sit down first, and then asked.
"What does Kong Qing mean? Could it be that he had a dispute with Cheng Sanlang in the East Palace?"
Kong Yingda's ears were still buzzing even after such a long time. His face was as dark as ink, and he said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I have learned from this that the veteran minister went to the East Palace on the emperor's order to explain history to His Highness the Crown Prince.
I don’t want that little kid with a yellow mouth like Cheng Chubi to be gesticulating and talking nonsense..."
Li Shimin looked confused. Look at this. Could it be that Cheng Sanlang, a guy who likes to talk nonsense, wants to give advice to the knowledgeable Kong Yingda?
But the reason I just got from Guanyin's mouth is not like this.
Li Shimin's face was as calm as water, he was sipping the tea, and he was listening to Kong Qing, who was thin and slender but had a loud voice, accusing Cheng Sanlang.
He even accused the prince of indulging his ministers, sitting back and watching someone like him being criticized without paying attention, and even not saying a word when the other party was rude...
"...Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country. How can he keep such a wild and rebellious person around him? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bewitched by him."
"If your temperament changes greatly in the future, how can you inherit the Tang Dynasty and be worthy of Your Majesty?"
Empress Changsun in the back frowned when she heard this. Her hand had already touched the door, but she finally slowly pulled it back.
Li Shimin stroked his sideburns and then said calmly, "Since the matter involves the East Palace, I have to be cautious in handling it."
Hearing these words, Kong Yingda couldn't help but feel happy. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Shimin say again.
"Zhao Kun, go to the East Palace quickly and summon Cheng Sanlang... That's all. I'll summon the prince, Yu Qing, and Cheng Sanlang to the Ganlu Palace. Go quickly."
Zhao Kun made a loud promise and then opened the curtain and left quickly. Kong Yingda turned his head with some confusion. "Your Majesty, this is..."
"I have just said that the matter involves the East Palace, and I want to deal with it. Naturally, I have to be cautious. If you just make one-sided remarks, I will incriminate the subordinates of the East Palace."
"What will the prince and the other ministers of the Eastern Palace think?"
"Furthermore, Kong Qing also said that when Qing and Cheng Sanlang had a conflict and dispute, both the prince and Yu Qing were present. Naturally, I want to ask you a question."
Seeing the emperor like this, Kong Yingda could only nod his head and sit upright. However, even if the prince and Yu Zhan were allowed to come together.
That would be better. After all, the two of them knew the situation at that time. Could they still side with that arrogant warrior Cheng Sanlang?
Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her husband's treatment.
She still did not leave the door and continued to sit here. After all, she could hear the conversations in the palace clearly enough.
Not long after, Zhao Kun arrived at the East Palace, entered the main hall, and saw the hanging bamboo curtain covering the prince's figure.
He couldn't help but look at Cheng Chubi beside him in confusion. Cheng Chubi naturally continued to explain again according to the previous explanation.
Zhao Kun didn't bother to pay attention to this, after all, what Cheng Chubi said made some sense.
After Zhao Kun conveyed His Majesty's oral instructions, he retreated outside the palace and waited.
Li Chengqian couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply jumped out from behind the curtain with one leg. "Brother Chu Bi, my father wants us all to go over. What does this mean?"
"Of course it's because Your Majesty is wise and powerful. If you know and listen, you will be enlightened, but if you believe only, you will be dark." Cheng Chubi said nonchalantly.
"Hearing both will make you aware, believing only half will make you dark. There is some truth in this saying..." Li Chengqian chewed on these words and looked at Cheng Chubi in disbelief.
Zhao Kun, who was standing at the entrance of the palace, also heard these two sentences and was speechless.
I always feel that this makes sense, and it shouldn't come from the mouth of Cheng Laosan, who comes from a rough man's family.
Not long after the meeting, Yu Zhining also arrived quickly. At this time, the carriage was ready, and Li Chengqian stepped into it with the support of the eunuch.
Cheng Chubi, on the other hand, dashed forward and got close to the emperor's hairy-faced confidant, Zhao Kuntao.
"Uncle Zhao, can you tell me the truth to my nephew? Is His Majesty very angry?"
"Haha..." Zhao *Unselfish* Kun chuckled and continued to stride forward.
"???" Cheng Chubi's whole body is feeling bad. Damn it, boss, can't you be more upright?
"Uncle Zhao, actually I am the victim. Our old Cheng family has always had a strict family tradition and is not willing to care about everything.
Otherwise, I would have impeached him long ago, but I didn’t expect that he would dare to impeach me if I didn’t impeach him..."
Zhao Kun staggered before he steadied his steps, and turned his head with a dark face to look at Cheng Chubi, who was talking nonsense.
"Cheng Laosan, you, young lady, are doing all this to me. Do you think I am a fool? Go ahead and hurry up, His Majesty is still waiting."
Seeing that Zhao Kun was not willing to communicate with him, Cheng Chubi touched his nose and retreated in frustration, back to the side of Jianyu.
Then he looked at Yu Zhining, who was walking quickly and silently, and came closer.
"As for Zhan, please ask Yu Zhan later to tell the truth and not be too biased."
