Chapter 474: Two prospective brothers-in-law are about to meet
Sometimes, Wei Zheng was able to offend Yan Zhijian and plot for the world without fear of Li Shimin's imperial power.
But sometimes, it is inevitable to get confused and seek for yourself.
For example, that incident at the bookshop.
He was one of the people who took the lead in playing Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji in the court. .??.
And he is the one who calls me the funniest.
From this, it is not difficult to see that this guy is not so upright sometimes.
To a large extent, he is the kind of character who is both good and evil.
Of course, history will always be deceptive.
Only those who have truly experienced it or truly studied it will know its secrets.
It was only after Li Chengqian arrived in this era that he realized that many things in this era were different from what he thought.
"Your Highness, there are quite a few ministers in the court who have requested a strike this time."
Changsun Chong said with worry on his face: "Maybe we will really have to negotiate peace with the Western Turks by then."
Seeing his sad look, Li Chengqian smiled.
He raised his finger and pointed at Changsun Chong and said, "You have nothing wrong with you. It's just that you think too much when you have something to do."
"You think about it, do we have the final say, or don't we have the final say?"
"In the final analysis, this matter is still a matter of what the father says, and we have nothing to do with it."
Li Chengqian casually picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth: "So, your and my mission is just to obey my father's orders. We will do whatever he asks us to do."
"This saves so much effort, but it won't be satisfying in the end."
This guy is quite open-minded.
But the more Changsun Chong thought about it, the more he felt that this was not the case.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why these people are demanding peace is because they are afraid that Li Chengqian will start to take control of power with the help of his military exploits and prestige.
And if you want to ask them why they are afraid?
That is naturally related to the fact that they colluded with the aristocratic family and stepped forward to participate in Li Chengqian's performance one after another.
If the aristocratic family were not like what they are now , they may still have something to rely on.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Several great families that were once prosperous were all killed, destroyed, and exiled. They have long lost their original glory.
The royal family will not be as afraid of aristocratic families as before.
And judging from the courage Li Chengqian is showing now, once he takes power one day, old guys like them will be in trouble without exception.
For this reason, the last thing these people want to see now is that one day Li Chengqian will be honored as a great treasure and inherit the throne.
Cheng Huailiang on the side had his nostrils dilated and said angrily: "I just can't understand how there can be such a person in this world."
"For their own interests, they don't care about the national justice or the common people. They only think about themselves."
Cheng Huailiang glanced at Li Chengqian, his eyes full of confusion at his inaction or counterattack.
"I really don't understand why His Highness tolerates them again and again."
"If His Highness doesn't want to be a bad guy, then I, Xiao Cheng, am willing to be one."
"When we got back to Chang'an City, I, Xiao Cheng, took a knife and chopped them all off."
I heard that these were obviously angry words.
Li Chengqian couldn't help being amused by him: "Huai Liang, you are as resourceful and resourceful on the battlefield as Uncle Cheng was on the battlefield."
"But when you get to the officialdom, why do you turn into a tough guy who only knows how to fight and kill?"
"To be honest, sometimes I really doubt whether you are Uncle Cheng's biological son?"
"Uncle Cheng is known as a smooth man in the court. Even when my father is in trouble, Uncle Cheng has to stand up and help out in time."
Li Chengqian felt a little resentful and said: "But it's good for you. All day long you don't know how to help your highness, but you always think about killing. What's the point of this?"
"I just can't stand those people always treating His Highness as a soft persimmon."
Cheng Huailiang said angrily: "I know that I am not as good at pinching as the eldest grandson, but I have strength and martial arts."
"As long as His Highness opens his mouth, I can go back to Chang'an City right now and rip off the heads of those guys who are just for me."
"Okay, don't say such stupid things."
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said: "Furthermore, if people don't punish themselves for themselves, they should consider themselves."
"only……"
"They really misjudged my ambition."
Li Chengqian looked up out of the window and said, "If they are really good ministers, how could I use my power to persecute them..."
He is a person from later generations.
His structure and ambition are unmatched by people of this era.
Of course he can accept ministers like Wei Zheng who offend and rebuke him.
These people indeed thought that his mind was too narrow.
So, even though he clearly did nothing, he inevitably received the hostility of a large number of people.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If we talk too much, we will suffer the consequences."
Li Chengqian changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Next, we have to face Zhao Youlin again. Do you think we should participate in the next battle?"
"Shouldn't."
"should."
Changsun Chong and Cheng Huailiang looked at each other.
"I think……"
"I think..."
The two spoke in unison again.
Changsun Chong was a little unhappy: "How about you say it first, or I say it first? What are you trying to grab?"
"Where did I steal it?"
"I just think I should personally teach that person named Zhao a lesson. Is there any problem?" Cheng Huailiang rolled his eyes and said, "Your Highness, I think we should personally teach this guy named Zhao a lesson this time."
"Last time, I, Xiao Cheng, felt very uncomfortable when I asked him to take people away from the Northeast."
"After all, this is a traitor from the Tang Dynasty."
"We in the Tang Dynasty worked hard to train him, and His Highness planned for him like that."
"But in the end, I raised a white-eyed wolf that was not well fed."
"Since then, I, Xiao Cheng, have been thinking about how one day I can capture this guy who betrayed the Tang Dynasty with my own hands."
Cheng Huailiang took a deep breath and said with an angry face: "Then I personally sent this guy to the execution rack and chopped him up alive."
He had not forgotten that it was this guy who chased his highness into the Yellow River.
If it weren't for Li Chengqian's great fortune, something unexpected would have happened.
What should Cheng Hualiang do?
Do you want to go back and be that second-generation ancestor?
To be honest, after staying with Li Chengqian for so long, he would no longer be able to live that kind of life.
If he were allowed to go back, I'm afraid he would be driven crazy.
And saw his indignant look.
Li Chengqian raised his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, don't get angry with me here."
"We'll talk about it when we meet the teacher."
Li Chengqian said quietly: "But to be honest, I don't really want to take action, but it's still okay to meet Zhao Youlin."
Thinking about it, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"And I'm even more looking forward to how Gao Zhixing will react after seeing Zhao Youlin..."
Now, although Gao Zhixing has not received Li Tingxue's final approval.
But in Li Chengqian's eyes, this guy is already his quasi-brother-in-law.
When the prospective brother-in-law meets his former prospective brother-in-law, what kind of sparks will arise?
