In fact, there are already quite a number of officials in the court who do not see the future of Prince Li Chengqian.
After all, in everyone's consciousness, the necessary condition for being a king is physical condition. Now the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty walks with a limp.
That would definitely greatly reduce the emperor's majesty, and may even lead to some unpredictable things happening.
It's just because His Majesty is getting rich and powerful in his prime, and everyone thinks it's too early to talk about this, that's why he keeps silent.
But among them, there were already some ministers who could not deal with the prince, such as Kong Yingda, Changsun Wuji and his gang.
They have been making various manipulations overtly and covertly for a long time, just to kick the prince aside and replace him with a fat-headed but obedient Michelin Prince Wei.
It's just a pity that His Majesty has never expressed anything. In fact, it is not that he has expressed nothing.
Just like the last time, Kong Yingda suggested that Wei King Li Tai should take charge of the compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi", and His Majesty was very happy to approve it.
He even greatly praised King Li Tai of Wei for his respect for his teachers, and even later proposed the establishment of the King of Wei's Scholarship Hall.
Your Majesty did not agree, but after that, Wei King Li Tai secretly recruited talented people into the palace. Your Majesty knew this clearly, but turned a blind eye.
Only then did Changsun Wuji and others feel that something was going on, but in the blink of an eye, the prince's foot disease was actually cured.
And he will return to Beijing on the day of the New Year's Day meeting. What does this mean?
Regardless of whether the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty understood it or not, this news was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. After passing through His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it swept through the entire court.
Then, with lightning speed, it spread to both the government and the public in Chang'an, and even around Chang'an.
The King of Wei, Li Tai, sat blankly in front of the desk, listening to Eunuch Li reporting the news that came from the court.
His eyes were fixed on the first three volumes of "Kuo Di Zhi" placed on the desk in front of him, and he remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head. "Is this the news from my uncle?"
"It's the news sent by Duke Zhao." Eunuch Li nodded and replied cautiously.
"Does it mean that there is no hope for me?" Wei King Li Tai sat there in confusion, hesitating and couldn't help but stretched out his hand.
I picked up a piece of fragrant lard cake from the plate on the table, took a vicious bite, and chewed it with gnashing teeth.
"Your Highness must not be discouraged. Although His Majesty announced the news to the court, the Crown Prince has not yet shown his face, so the authenticity is not yet known."
"Furthermore, the prince has been away from the center for more than half a year, and most of the officials in the East Palace have different aspirations. Many of them have secretly confessed to His Highness..."
King Li Tai of Wei slapped the table angrily and shouted impatiently.
"But he is still the prince after all. If my father doesn't get rid of him, then he will be the prince."
After losing his temper, Wei King Li Tai sat on the edge of the couch with a face full of despair, looking at the three volumes of "Kuo Di Zhi" and murmuring.
"Uncle, he didn't say anything else?"
"What Duke Zhao Guo means is that the most important thing for His Highness to do now is to continue to present "Kuo Di Zhi" to His Majesty at the New Year's Day meeting in accordance with the previous arrangements."
"Even if the prince returns to Chang'an, Your Highness does not need to be anxious. You only need to walk around the palace more often, serve your majesty and the empress with benevolence and filial piety, and wait for the prince to make mistakes."
"I understand, please go down. I want to be quiet for a while..."
Eunuch Li sighed softly in his heart. After bowing to Wei Wang Li Taixing, he slowly exited the study, but was stopped by Wei Wang Li Tai again.
"Go and ask them to bring me another plate of lard cake."
"……yes."
Chewing the delicious and rich lard cake, Wei King Li Tai's face became more and more gloomy.
The prince's foot ailments were cured, and it was Cheng Chubi, a vulgar warrior, who cured him.
At this moment, Wei King Li Tai hated Cheng Chubi even more than before. If it weren't for him, how could the prince's leg, which had been lame for more than a year, be cured?
"Cheng Sanlang, I and you are incompatible with each other. Brother, don't think that once you recover from your illness, your position as crown prince will be solid. I will not give up..."
#####
There are only five days left before New Year's Day, and three days have passed since the Emperor left Lishan Tangquan Palace.
Li Ke, an excellent royal toolman, finally hurried to Lishan Mountain again.
Listening to the high-pitched voices of the East Palace soldiers reciting the Three Character Classic in Tangquan Palace, I saw them passing in front of me with neat steps.
Li Ke looked dumbfounded. It was the first time in his life that he had seen someone read an article so sonorously and powerfully.
After waiting for the soldiers from the East Palace to pass, he continued to move forward and soon wandered to the courtyard of Prince Tang.
Even outside the courtyard, Brother Chu Bi's loud voice was heard shouting.
"One more, come on, stick your butt out, then use your thighs hard, come on, slow down...
Feel the soreness well, it means your muscles are complaining, you have to know how to enjoy the pain..."
"???" Li Ke stood dumbfounded on the spot. What kind of nonsense is Brother Chu Bi talking about? What does it mean to know how to enjoy pain? Who can enjoy that thing?
Ignoring the strange expressions of the guards guarding the entrance to the courtyard, Li Ke, who had woken up, couldn't wait to lift his shirt and walked towards the courtyard.
Not long after walking, I saw a clearing where the snow had been cleared away and a lot of strange equipment was thrown away.
At this moment, two shirtless people were steaming with steam all over their bodies. They were sticking their butts out and moving up and down while holding a wooden stick with stones hanging on both ends.
Next to him was Eunuch Ning Zhongning, who was wrapped in thick clothes and holding a fur coat in his hand. He looked at the two men going up and down with a frightened expression.
Cheng Chubi easily put down the barbell that weighed three or four times as much as Li Chengqian's, walked up to Li Chengqian and clapped his hands.
"Now squat slowly, the slower the better..." When he saw Li Chengqian's legs starting to tremble, Cheng Chubi lifted the barbell with one hand in time.
Li Chengqian could no longer maintain his balance when the heavy pressure suddenly disappeared, and he fell to the ground.
Ning Zhong, who was next to him, quickly ran forward and wrapped Li Chengqian in the thick fur coat. "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?"
"There can't be anything wrong. I'm just a little exhausted." Li Chengqian smiled sheepishly and stood up with support.
Cheng Chubi also casually took the fur pi from Cheng Fa's hand and covered him with it, showing an approving smile towards Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness did a good job. Just come here first and go back to the house quickly. Don't get cold."
"Brother, Brother Chu Bi, what are you doing?" Li Ke, who was standing not far away in a daze, finally came back to his senses and shouted in disbelief.
