Yu Zhining looked at Cheng Laosan who was restless while walking with a dark look on his face, and couldn't help but scolded him in a low voice.
"I have always been fair in my dealings, otherwise I would not have been entrusted with the important task of Prince Zhan by Your Majesty."
"Haha..." Cheng Chubi subconsciously imitated Zhao Kun's smile just now, which was three parts cold, five parts uninhibited, and two parts disgusting.
"???" Yu Zhining immediately got angry. The boy's laughter was almost like a provocation.
"Cheng Sanlang, what do you mean?!"
"What I mean is that I feel more relieved after hearing what Yu Zhanshi said. Just now I was a little worried that you would not be willing to take on the heavy burden of Prince Zhanshi."
"You!..." Yu Zhining twisted his nose in anger. This bastard doesn't know how to speak properly, does he?
"Did I say something wrong?" Cheng Chubi faced Yu Zhining without any fear.
"If I don't stand up for His Royal Highness today, I really don't know how many ministers there will be who think they are loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
They will be so wanton and wild in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, and treat His Highness the Crown Prince as if they are nothing. The reason is simply that they want to gain a clear reputation and gain a promotion."
"Of course, you can also impeach me about Zhan and say that I have offended the superior officer."
After saying these words, Cheng Chubi quickly took two steps, too lazy to pay any more attention to the angry Prince Zhan Shi.
Yu Zhining's face turned dark and white, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute Cheng Chubi.
Yes, this kid was indeed very rude, which made Yu Zhining feel offended, but his words really made Yu Zhining look ugly.
Yes, the officials in the East Palace, almost from top to bottom, did not regard the prince as the crown prince, just as Cheng Chubi said.
He was proud of his ability to remonstrate directly with his face, as if he could not show his strength without refuting the prince.
The prince's humility and concession seemed to make these ministers become more and more like Benjili.
How could he, Yu Zhining, have never had such an idea? After all, His Majesty is in the prime of life and the Crown Prince is still young.
If you want to wait until the prince and other bases become his trusted ministers, it would be more convenient to directly remonstrate with him, gain a reputation, and be favored by your majesty, and entrust him with important responsibilities.
It can be said that these are the most private thoughts in the hearts of many ministers who are unwilling to stay dormant in the East Palace and cannot be expressed in words.
It happened now, and Cheng Chubi did not hesitate to expose it. This made Yu Zhining, who considered himself loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to his majesty, and loyal to the prince, extremely embarrassed.
#####
There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. Between loyalty to the prince and loyalty to the real person in power, His Majesty, the ministers can actually understand clearly in their hearts.
Although Cheng Chubi is a real person, it does not mean that he is stupid. If he is really a fool, how can he be admitted to medical school with high scores.
Unable to rest, Li Chengqian opened the curtains and asked in a low voice towards Cheng Chubi who was walking beside the carriage.
"Brother Chu Bi, what did you just say to Yu Zhan? I think he seems to be in a bad mood?"
Cheng Chubi smiled calmly.
"It's nothing. I just hope that Yu Zhan can tell the truth soon without being too biased. After all, it was the old man who made the mistake, not me."
As he spoke, the Manna Palace was already in front of him.

When Li Shimin saw Prince Li Chengqian coming in with the support of two eunuchs, he wanted to get up, but in the end he resisted and sat back down.
Then he nodded to the prince majestically and pointed to the soft couch beside him.
"The prince's leg injury has not healed yet, so there is no need to salute. Just sit here."
Li Chengqian felt warm in his heart, and after bowing to his father, he sat on the edge of the couch.
Cheng Chubi and Yu Zhanshi both bowed respectfully to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As for Kong Yingda, who was glaring fiercely at Cheng Chubi with his eyes, Cheng Chubi didn't even give him a roll of his eyes.
Just after he sat down, Li Shimin was about to speak, but he saw Cheng Chubi bowing first and speaking plausibly.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Kong Yingda, a regular servant of the Disciplined Cavalry. When he entered the Li Zheng Palace and met His Highness the Crown Prince, he was so rude and disrespectful that he treated the country's crown prince as if he were nothing..."
Li Shimin blinked, "Oh, this guy is so rich, he already knows how to impeach people."
Unexpectedly, the old Cheng family, who was constantly being impeached by censors who jumped up and down, would suddenly have a young man who dared to take the initiative to impeach others.
"Cheng Chubi, you!" Kong Yingda immediately became anxious. Unexpectedly, this bastard Cheng Chubi started stabbing himself with a knife as soon as he arrived in front of His Majesty.
Cheng Chubi ignored the wizened old man who was about to jump up with anger and continued speaking loudly and righteously.
"...not only do you treat His Highness the Crown Prince as nothing, but in front of His Majesty the Crown Prince, you treat my subordinates in the East Palace as if they are nothing, and you are so arrogant. I also ask Your Majesty to severely punish them as a warning to others."
Li Shimin was also a little confused. When did Cheng Laosan become so talkative?
Could it be that regular nonsense training has produced results? Well, let’s listen to what the two of them have to say.
Kong Yingda exploded immediately. Of course, he saluted Li Shimin loudly, who had come back to his senses and seemed to acquiesce in their self-defense.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Cheng Chubi's nonsense. He is vicious, cunning and has ulterior motives..."
At this moment, Cheng Chubi, who was about to discuss the matter, suddenly became angry. He was so cruel and cunning.
The old Cheng family, who are honest and loyal and like to convince others with their virtues, has ever produced such a talented person?
"Fart! You said I was arrogant and I believed it, but you actually said I was cunning and cunning. Is this possible?"
Kong Yingda, who was extremely angry, originally wanted to stretch out his right hand to touch Cheng Chubi, but his index finger hurt terribly.
It seems too indecent to poke someone with your little finger. If you use your thumb...
Hmm... Even if I ate my thumb, I wouldn't raise it at Cheng Chubi. So I pointed my left index finger at Cheng Chubi and said angrily.
"You, how dare you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty?"
Cheng Chubi immediately became happy. "Hey, you, the old man, are allowed to babble, but we young people are not allowed to prove our innocence?"
"No wonder there is an old saying that goes, old people don't get bad, it's just bad people who get older..."
"???!!!"
There was a moment of dead silence in the Ganlu Hall. Kong Yingda, whose face turned purple, had started to cover his heart with his hands and his lips began to tremble.
Li Chengqian stared blankly at the tit-for-tat exchange between the old and the young. Yu Zhining was also completely dumbfounded. He opened his mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say.
And inside, there suddenly came a soft and hard-to-hear puffing sound, which quickly disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Kun shook his head like a lion, and then quickly ran out of the Manna Palace. The bad guy has grown old. Cheng Laosan, you are so damn...
Li Shimin's face was no longer dark, but really dark.
Cheng Chubi, who finally sensed that the atmosphere was not hostile, pursed his lips and looked at His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with his blade-like target.
He shrank his neck, looking so fresh and refined.
"I'm not a quarrel, I just thought that Kong Changshi was old, so I said this casually..."
