For a time, the whole family of three was stunned on the spot.
First, they did not expect that Li Shimin would deliver the order just after Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace.
Secondly, it was also the tone in which Li Shimin issued his decree, which really didn't sound like an emperor.
"Your Highness, your Majesty."
When Eunuch Zhou saw the three of them standing still and not moving, he couldn't help but remind him: "It's time to take the order..."
When the three of them heard this, they all came to their senses and immediately bowed down.
Li Chengqian walked up to the two of them and stretched out his hands.
"My son, Li Chengqian, accepts the order..."
Received the imperial decree scroll.
Li Chengqian stood up slowly, looked at Eunuch Zhou and said, "By the way, does my father really know everything about Qinzhou?"
"certainly."
Eunuch Zhou smiled and said, "Everything, including... those two noble men."
Who else could the two noble people he mentioned be besides Yan Wang Li You and his biological uncle?
When Li Chengqian heard this, he couldn't help but pause.
"Father, are you not mistaken?"
"He wants to leave full power to me to deal with those two noble people?"
Whether it is Li You or Yin Hongzhi, their identities are extraordinary.
One is Li Shimin's biological son, and the other is Li Shimin's brother-in-law and a favorite of the court.
To know.
It was because of a premonition.
Li Chengqian then asked Li Yu to serve as bait, forcing Li Yuan to come forward to solve Li Shimin's troubles.
But now.
Li Shimin directly handed over the authority to him.
This made Li Chengqian feel a little unreal, and at the same time, he also had doubts in his heart.
Does Li Shimin really want to take responsibility for himself, or does he want to take this opportunity to test himself?
Of course Eunuch Zhou saw Li Chengqian's changing expression.
After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty's golden words, how could he be wrong?"
"Hasn't His Majesty's decree already stated it?"
"As long as there is sufficient evidence, you can arrest anyone who is suspected."
When saying this, Eunuch Zhou deliberately emphasized his tone.
This is also in It hinted that Li Chengqian didn't need to think too much, Li Shimin really wanted to delegate power to him.
Li Chengqian could also hear the implication behind his words.
"All right."
"Eunuch Zhou, please take this trip."
Li Chengqian slightly arched his hands, then called to Xiao Chuzi and said: "Go, take Eunuch Zhou for a cup of tea before we leave."
"yes."
Little Chuzi nodded in agreement and made a gesture of invitation to Eunuch Zhou.
The father and son looked at each other, and after Eunuch Zhou returned Li Chengqian's gift, they walked away together.
"You guys go back first."
Li Chengqian showed the imperial edict scroll in his hand to his two wives: "I'm very busy here again."
Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie didn't say much and went back to their rooms.
This time.
Li Chengqian was the only one left in the venue.
He looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and then looked in the direction of the Manna Hall.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My emperor, you really give me problems."
His original idea was to find out the ins and outs of everything, then leave everything to Li Shimin.
But now.
But Li Shimin threw the blame back to him.
Actually.
Li Chengqian could also guess Li Shimin's purpose.
He simply wanted to take this opportunity to increase Li Chengqian's influence and intimidation among the nobility and royal family.
Let those with ulterior motives be more at ease in the future.
This is also known as knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
"well……"
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed, stood there thinking for a moment, and then shouted: "Zhao Shi, prepare the car, I want to leave the palace!"
…
The book is brief.
After Li Chengqian took a carriage out of the palace, he went straight to the Shu Palace.
At this time, the Prince of Shu's Mansion was very lively.
Not to mention the lanterns and decorations, bright red lanterns were hung everywhere.
As for why this is so.
It’s just that Li Ke and Changsun Pingting had re-drawn their marriage contract in the presence of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.
But because the auspicious day has not yet arrived, the eldest grandson Pingting has not moved here yet.
As the person in charge, Li Ke does everything personally, no matter how big or small it is.
After a while, I ran to the east courtyard to see how the lanterns were hanging.
After a while, I ran back to the main hall to see if the red silks were hung properly.
"These curtains are the princess's favorite."
"If anyone dares to break a piece for me, I will punish him without mercy."
"And the lanterns in the main courtyard, who hung them up? Didn't you see that Mother Dute's was hanging crookedly?"
"Hurry up, take it off and hang it up again. The day is getting closer and closer. If anyone drops the chain for me at this time, they will be punished!"
Before Li Chengqian came in, bursts of shouts could be heard.
For a moment, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be in a daze.
If you really talk about it.
Li Ke usually treats his servants very well.
There is rarely any verbal scolding or punishment.
But this time, Li Ke's impatience can be clearly seen.
Li Chengqian stepped forward, stood behind Li Ke, and said with a smile: "It's not the first time I'm getting married. Is there any need for such a grand ceremony?"
Li Ke couldn't help but trembled when he heard the sound.
"Brother Royal?"
Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian with some surprise and said, "Aren't you in Qinzhou?"
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want your imperial brother to stay in Qinzhou for the rest of his life?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, casually pulled up a chair and sat down.
"hehe."
Li Ke gave Li Chengqian a roll of his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he also pulled up a chair and sat next to Li Chengqian: "Is the matter in Qinzhou finished?"
"about there."
Li Chengqian said casually: "The rest can't be done in Qinzhou, we have to go back to the capital to do it." Li Ke is so smart.
I immediately understood what Li Chengqian meant.
"Beijing..."
Li Ke murmured something and then said: "May I ask where the emperor's sword is pointing this time?"
"Censor Zhongcheng."
Li Chengqian said it directly without any hesitation.
Li Ke couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
"What?"
Li Ke stood up unconsciously and said: "The matter in Qinzhou was caused by the censor...the one named Yin?"
When Li Chengqian was working in Qinzhou, he did not deliberately block the news.
Therefore, Li Ke also knows something.
For example, Li Chengqian was assassinated just after he entered the city.
For example, some people in Qinzhou have been disobeying the imperial court's orders and have been doing some dirty things secretly.
However.
But he never expected it.
These things are actually related to Yin Hongzhi.
To know.
On the surface, Yin Hongzhi is a pretty great politician.
Whether it is domestic affairs or military affairs, Yin Hongzhi has two brushes.
In the beginning, Li Shimin promoted him precisely because of his talents.
"How could it be him..."
Li Ke said in disbelief: "Are you really not mistaken?"
In his opinion.
Yin Hongzhi was very loyal to the court and very capable.
In fact, it's not just him.
The same was true for Li Chengqian in the past.
Don't say anything else.
Let’s just say that when Li Chengqian led his troops on the third Northern Expedition.
If he hadn't personally gone to Henan Road to collect food and send it to the front line, Li Chengqian would have gone hungry.
But as the saying goes.
Know people, know faces, but don’t know hearts.
Who would have thought that 60% of the military rations raised by Yin Hongzhi at that time turned into money and went into Yin Hongzhi's own pocket?
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said, "Whether you are mistaken or not, you will only know after checking."
"And this is also the reason why I came to find you..."
