Li Chengqian was lying on the soft couch, enjoying the massage of Qingci and Qinghe, while little Chuzi stood in the hall.
He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Xu Jingzong has been dismissed from all official positions and rewards by His Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian didn't have much reaction.
It was as if everything was as expected.
Seeing him like this, Changsun Chong was also puzzled.
He looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, do you just want to watch Xu Jingzong be dismissed from office?"
He put in so much effort and went through so many circles.
He even included his father, father-in-law, and uncle.
Could it be that what you want is just to have Xu Jingzong dismissed from office?
Hearing his question, Li Chengqian chuckled, raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian did not work together for a day or two.
He had also already figured out Li Chengqian's temperament.
Seeing his expression at this time, I already knew that I had guessed correctly.
In Li Chengqian's entire plan, having Xu Jingzong dismissed from office by Li Shimin was just the beginning...
Changsun Chong couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what do you want to do next?"
Li Chengqian slowly climbed up from the bed, put on his shoes and got out of bed, and said slowly: "Of course, we will continue to carry out the plan."
After saying this, Li Chengqian also put on his shoes and walked towards the door.
Changsun Chong chased after him with a confused look on his face and asked: "What do you mean by your highness? Could it be that Xu Jingzong and his son have offended you a long time ago?"
"You didn't offend me, you offended Datang."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "Although Xu Jingzong has some talents and learning, his character is selfish, greedy and lustful."
"It would be okay if this kind of person didn't have power, he would be like that for the rest of his life." He suddenly looked back at Changsun Chong and said, "But have you ever thought about what would happen if such a person gained power?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong frowned and said: "If we don't get rid of it now, it will definitely be a trouble in the future."
"In this case, do you still need to ask why they offended me?"
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "To be honest, if I hadn't met Xu Ang, I wouldn't have thought of this extremely simple truth."
"Some things must be settled as soon as possible, and some people must be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent them from causing trouble."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong couldn't help but stop and looked at Li Chengqian in a daze.
Li Chengqian distanced himself from him in three or two steps.
I just heard Li Chengqian say loudly in front of me: "Although I really don't want my old man to get his wish, but I also hope that the world that my old man has single-handedly conquered will be safe and stable for eternity."
He suddenly turned around, stood ten steps away from Changsun Chong, and chuckled at him.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to walk side by side with me?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong also laughed out loud: "Since His Highness wants to invite Chong to go together, why should Chong refuse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and followed Li Chengqian's pace.
The two brothers left the Prince of Qin's Mansion one after another, and they didn't know where they went...
…
Once upon a time, Xu Jingzong's family was also a great and glorious family in Jiangnan.
But after the fall of Emperor Yang and the death of his fathers, the Xu family began to fail.
If Xu Jingzong had not chosen the right master to follow Li Shimin later, I am afraid that the Xu family would not have been as glorious as it was in the following ten years.
But even so, the Xu family today is still at rock bottom.
First, Xu Ang was dismissed
After Yin was granted an official status, Xu Jingzong was beaten to the end.
In the end, the Zhang family, which had almost agreed to marry Xu Ang, cut off all contact with the Xu family and terminated the engagement.
As the saying goes, everyone pushes down the wall. After Xu Jingzong was deposed by Li Shimin, on the morning of the second day, countless people came out to point out the deviant things Xu Jingzong had done before.
To be honest, if Li Shimin hadn't felt that Xu Jingzong was an old minister who had been by his side when he was in Qianlong, he would have really wanted to chop this man alive.
It's a pity that Li Shimin can't do that. .??.
He really didn't want to chill the hearts of the veterans who had shared the joys and sorrows with him for more than ten years just because of such a person.
Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped.
Although Li Shimin spared Xu Jingzong's life, he immediately issued an order to send his entire family to Lingnan, and assigned him to work as a bookkeeping clerk in a government office in a small county town.
From being a fifth-rank scholar in the dynasty to being an accounting clerk in an ordinary county government office, this is a huge difference.
And this is even more insulting to Xu Jingzong.
But if Xu Jingzong really had the integrity that those scholars could kill and never insult, how could he survive until now?
Therefore, after receiving Li Shimin's order, he accepted his fate on the spot.
And on the same day, he started selling his family members and handed over all the maids and servants to Ren Yazi.
Then he reluctantly gave away several rooms of his new concubines to his friends.
This kind of behavior is nothing more than hoping that these friends can speak to me in the future and try to get me to return to Chang'an City.
Seeing those beautiful maids and concubines being taken away, Xu Jingzong felt his teeth itching with hatred.
He slapped Xu Ang on the face: "Look, this is all your fault!"
Xu Jingzong became more and more angry as he thought about it. He pushed Xu Ang to the ground and beat him severely with his fists.
He is straight Until now, everyone thinks that the reason why their family suffered a sudden disaster was entirely because Xu Ang offended Li Chengqian.
Little did he know that Li Chengqian was looking for him from the very beginning.
…
Xu Ang, who was beaten severely by his father, naturally felt unhappy.
But he did not dare to vent his resentment on his father, so he picked up his purse with only a few copper coins left and ran to a wine shop in the city to drink away his sorrows.
Just as he was blushing from drinking, a young man in gorgeous clothes suddenly sat across from him.
Seeing this young man, Xu Ang was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with shock.
He stood up from behind the table, raised his hands tremblingly and said: "The common people pay homage to His Royal Highness King Lu..."
"Shh!"
King Lu Li Yuanchang made a silent gesture to him.
Immediately, Li Yuanchang smiled and said to Xu Ang: "I came today just to ask for two glasses of wine from Brother Xu. I wonder if Brother Xu is willing to give it to me?"
"Of course..."
Xu Ang quickly asked the waiter to bring another wine cup.
Then he personally filled the wine cup in front of Li Yuanchang.
Li Yuanchang picked up the wine cup, took a sip of the wine, and couldn't help but smile: "Not to mention the price of this wine, just the intensity of this wine, it is rare in the world."
This wine is the distilled liquor that Li Chengqian developed when he had nothing to do in Beimo.
Because of its good taste and good appearance, this distilled liquor has recently become a popular liquor in Chang'an City.
Li Yuanchang suddenly put down his wine glass and sighed: "It's a pity... Mr. Xu is afraid that he will never be able to drink such a fragrant wine again."
After hearing what he said, Xu Ang's face rippled, and he even felt a little angry in his heart.
He was also drunk and emboldened, so Xu Ang said directly to Li Yuanchang: "Your Highness, King Lu, if you have anything to say, you might as well tell me directly."
