Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace.

His Majesty Li Er sat in the spacious sofa a little tiredly, looking at Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the other side, and was silent for a long time.

He was a temperate man, and he generally wouldn't sit on a sofa, because the old man thought that being too comfortable would make him slack.

But this time, for some reason, he actually sat on the sofa, and pulled Li Chengqian to sit with him.

"You've gotten into a big mess this time, and hopefully tomorrow you'll have a good explanation for dealing with impeachment." After a long time, the tea on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa had become no longer warm, and His Majesty Li Er finally spoke.

"Father, this is an inevitable step, Datang still has to rely on those soldiers to protect it in the end, without them Datang is nothing, so we must give them an explanation, we can't let them die without a name."

This is not the first time that Li Chengqian has had such a discussion with the old man, he had already sought out the old man more than once before this prisoner sacrifice, and it was precisely with Lao Li's acquiescence that today's soldiers who died in battle have returned with honor.

But it was precisely because of this glorious return that Li Chengqian's ultimate goal was exposed and provoked an ideological war between him and the scholars.

"Your courage is commendable, and I admit that I don't have it." The old man's expression did not change in the slightest, and his gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest when he looked at his son.

"Father, you don't want to care about me, do you?" Feeling the helplessness in the old man's tone, Li Chengqian grinned and said.

"No, I can't control it at all, this time I can only watch from the sidelines, otherwise once I get involved, the consequences will definitely not be what you want to see." It is rare that His Majesty Li Er did not reprimand Li Chengqian for his funny expression, but this also shows that he really has no way now.

"I have already helped you once on the city tower, and I will press the impeachment to the next morning, but this time the matter must be resolved, you have to be mentally prepared." Looking at the young son, looking at this heir who was very satisfied with him, His Majesty Li Er said with difficulty, and then waved his hand, signaling that Li Chengqian could leave.

Be mentally prepared? What kind of mental preparation? Li Chengqian's mood was a little heavy.

The day has come, and it has finally come.

It seems that the old man's limit has been reached, and the suppressive power of the family and the scholar clan is completely out of control after he Li Chengqian challenged the two forces at the same time.

So what will happen next, Li Chengqian already has a faint guess.

……

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian dismissed everyone, including Yang Yuxin, Xiaobai and others, and walked lonely through the palaces that he was familiar with or unfamiliar.

"Your Highness, what happened? Why ......" Su Mei and the others got Yang Yuxin's notice and followed his footsteps to catch up.

"Don't say anything, come with me!" Li Chengqian turned his head, looked at his wife with a big belly and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Your Highness......" Su Mei slowly leaned closer to Li Chengqian's side, although she didn't know what was going on, she had never seen Li Chengqian feel so depressed, and there was a faint look of worry in her eyes.

"I did something, but I asked myself with a clear conscience, and I just ...... It's just that I've suffered you, I'm afraid you're going to be wronged with me. Li Chengqian took Su Mei's hand, his smile was still the same, but there was a hint of sadness in his tone.

"Your Highness, as long as I can be with you, the concubine will not feel wronged."

Li Chengqian didn't make any comments on Su Mei's words, but said lightly: "Look at this place again, we will move out soon." ”

"What?" Su Mei trembled, and a flash of horror flashed in her eyes.

There is only one thing in this world that can make Li Chengqian move out of the East Palace, and that is to abolish the crown prince.

Just one day, no, just one morning, what the hell happened?

If Li Chengqian had something that angered His Majesty the Emperor, then he would not be given time to remember it at all, and a holy decree would come down directly.

But if Li Chengqian did not anger the emperor, then where did the talk of abolishing the crown prince come from.

"Brother Prince, what's going on? Are you going to kill us in a hurry, speak quickly? Cheng Lin was anxious, holding up her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and asked anxiously.

"Nothing." Li Chengqian shook his head, and then his eyes froze: "But now I need you to go home first......."

"No, you said that husband and wife are one, then we are a family, and we have to face everything together, and I will not leave you alone." Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Cheng Lin interrupted him, and a sky-high arrogance exploded on his body.

"Hahaha......" Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Lin quietly, and suddenly burst into a long laugh, and then said: "If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for!" But for now, you all go home to help me the most, and if anything happens, I'll let you know as soon as possible. Rest assured, I, Li Chengqian, am not a person who will admit defeat easily. ”

Proud! Yes, this is Li Chengqian's current state.

Two wives with big bellies put a responsibility on his shoulders, even if it is not for his dreams, but for the sake of his future children.

Even if he really loses tomorrow and becomes a waste prince, what if he becomes a waste prince, it's a big deal to start all over again.

Li Chengqian didn't believe that the old man would kill himself because of such a little 'trivial matter', at most, he would abolish his position as the crown prince.

But what about the position of the abolished prince? Can you really degrade yourself to a commoner? If that's the case, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!

The old man may not know how to do it, but after slaughtering the five surnames and Qiwang, he still has the ruthlessness of several major clans, if he really forces Li Chengqian to be in a hurry, it is a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and everyone dies together.

I believe that with the mother of the eldest grandson, even if she dies, her son will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

After having such a decision, Li Chengqian's heart once again ignited a raging fighting spirit, and every wife hugged him lightly and said in a deep voice: "Go, go home, today Lao Tzu wants to see what the five surnames and seven wangs and the world's corporal clan can do to me Li Chengqian!" ”

How can it take you? I can eat you alive.

Su Mei and the other four women's faces turned white, and they looked at Li Chengqian speechless for a while.

"Your Highness, the minister wants to stay." The night ghost, who rarely spoke, flashed Yang Yuxin and the others and appeared beside Li Chengqian.

"The minister must stay too!" "And me." Xiaobai and Yang Yuxin also stepped forward at the same time.

"What are you doing here? I'm not trying to fight with people, and besides, I didn't drive you away, go and go, do whatever you have to do, don't make a mess here. Li Chengqian licked his lips helplessly, and reprimanded him with a smile.

These girls, who were so by them, didn't know that they thought they were about to be beheaded.

"Brother Prince, we ......"

"Don't say anything, leave all, this is an order, if you still recognize me as a minister, go home, don't stay here and distract me." It is impossible to say that Li Chengqian waved his hand to interrupt the women.

Some people may ask, since Li Chengqian is confident that he will not be demoted to a concubine, why did he send away several wives? And even if they are really demoted, even if the girls go home, they can't escape the fate of being abolished, so what's the difference if they don't go home.

In fact, the reason here is very simple, as I just said, Li Chengqian already has a desperate determination at this time, if things are not right, he will immediately order the slaughter of all the forces in Chang'an.

Then in this way, he will let a few women participate in this matter, and if he faces it alone, at least a few women can still be treated as if they don't know anything, and they can also give the eldest grandson queen a chance to protect them.

As for himself, at this time he was ready to be assigned to Lingnan.

……

Blessings are not double, disasters are not singular!

After Su Mei and the other four women went home with their escorts, a series of bad news came one after another.

First, the five surnames and seven wangs were impeached, and then several representatives of the scholar clan asked for their lives outside the palace gate, and then the old man had to summon a group of old guys who were quite famous in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, Li Chengqian thought that there would be a game in the DPRK tomorrow morning, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

"Your Highness, Prince Duhe is asking to see you outside." Just when Li Chengqian was upset and hesitated to order a little color for those families, Yang Yuxin pushed the door in from outside the study and whispered a report.

Li Chengqian's heart moved, and he said with a sigh: "Let him come in." ”

"Yes!" At the very moment, Yang Yuxin's face was no longer as relaxed as before, and her pretty face was tight.

There was not much time, and Li Chengqian heard a burst of messy footsteps outside the study, and then a figure rushed in: "Gao Ming, something is wrong!" ”

"Sit down, if you have something to say slowly, the sky can't fall for the time being." Li Chengqian waved his hand at Yang Yuxin, who followed up, signaling her to go out first, and at the same time drove out the palace maid who was waiting in the study.

"You know everything?" Du He looked at Li Chengqian and asked in a slight daze.

"If you're talking about those impeachments, I do." Li Chengqian nodded.

"Do you know the news that His Majesty intends to depose you?" Duhe continued to ask.

Sure enough, it seems that he really guessed it, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know it." ”

"Now that you know everything, what are you waiting for? Half of the Liaodong Legion is now in the city, and everything is fully equipped, as long as you give the order...... Du He walked to Li Chengqian's side in a few steps, lowered his voice, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"How about an order? What do you want to say? Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed, he raised his hand and slapped Du He's head violently, and said in a deep voice: "Today's words should not have been heard in this palace, and you have not been here today, have you heard!" ”

"What, what?" Du Ho blinked innocently.

"If you don't understand, go back and ask Du Xiang, and he will explain it to you." Li Chengqian didn't even look at Du He, picked up a pair of bamboo slips from the table, and looked down.
