Chapter 83 Li Chengqian: I am fighting against the King of Han!
The morning court was being held in the Liangyi Hall. Li Xiang was standing outside, anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and there was no way he could get in.
He was waiting anxiously in front of the palace, while Li Chengqian had already arrived at Pingkangfang on horseback.
"Is the King of Han here?" Li Chengqian dismounted and asked the turtle at the door.
Gui Gong often hangs out in places like this. He could tell at a glance that Li Chengqian was either rich or noble. He immediately nodded and said, "In reply to your question, the King of Han is on the second floor."
Li Chengqian sneered and walked into the brothel.
"Hey~~This noble man~"
Seeing Li Chengqian come in, the madam immediately came forward to greet him.
To be honest, Li Chengqian was definitely one of the best in the Tang Dynasty in terms of appearance. In addition, he had the temperament of being in a high position for many years, so the madam did not dare to take him lightly.
Even if he was wearing a cloth suit, he could look like a third-rank official, not to mention that he was now wearing the crown prince's court dress.
"Where is the King of Han?" Li Chengqian asked straight to the point.
The madam did not dare to neglect him and immediately said, "So the distinguished guest is a friend of the King of Han. The King of Han is on the second floor—"
"Lead the way." Li Chengqian ordered without any question.
The madam brought Li Chengqian to the second floor, where Li Yuanchang was hugging a girl with one hand and enjoying the leather cup happily.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Isn't this too... great nephew?"
He didn't dare to tell the prince about his identity. After all, as a prince of a country, visiting a brothel was not what a monarch should do...
Li Chengqian sneered, clenched his fists, walked forward and punched Li Yuanchang in the eyes as he looked at him in astonishment.
The two women nearby were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that someone would dare to beat a Tang Dynasty prince in public.
After reacting, he immediately burst into a loud scream.
Li Yuanchang was knocked back by the blow, but he reacted quickly and jumped back, shouting, "Gao Ming! Are you crazy? I am your uncle!"
"Uncle?!" Li Chengqian spat coldly: "I'm hitting your fucking uncle!"
Li Yuanchang immediately understood what was going on. Damn... it must be that bastard Liu Li who gave the secret away!
He couldn't understand why Li Chengqian saw through his plan to murder the princess just as he started.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Li Chengqian be in the Eastern Palace, sulking with Li Shimin?
As for why Li Shimin did not see through his plan, Li Yuanchang knew it very well.
If it was Li Shimin, the one who came would not be Li Chengqian, but a group of strong men from the Black Armor Army.
His mind raced for a moment, and after he figured it out, he lifted the table without hesitation, trying to stop Li Chengqian.
Then he turned and ran, stumbling downstairs.
As he charged, he did not forget to shout, "Hurry up! The prince is going crazy! The prince is beating up Uncle Wang!"
In fact, he was in trouble here. If he didn't reveal Li Chengqian's identity, the brothel would definitely help him stop Li Chengqian. After all, in such a place, if they beat the prince of the court, it would be wrong for them to do nothing.
But Li Yuanchang really wanted to make things difficult for Li Chengqian. In order to avenge the punch he had just received, he chose to ruin Li Chengqian's reputation, so he subconsciously announced Li Chengqian's identity, hoping that others would denounce Li Chengqian.
Originally, some people wanted to step forward to stop them, but when they heard that the one who beat the King of Han was actually the Crown Prince, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward. They could only let Li Yuanchang run in front and Li Chengqian chase behind.
Li Yuanchang staggered out of the brothel and ran along Zhuque Street.
Zhuque Street is the most prosperous street in Chang'an. No one will sit idly by if they are there!
As he ran, he shouted that the prince had hit someone, the prince had hit his uncle. But he ignored a common sense, that is, if you shout too much while running, you will easily get a stitch in the side.
Just as he ran out of Pingkangfang and slipped onto Zhuque Street, Li Yuanchang got a stitch in the side.
As soon as he slowed down his pace, Li Chengqian caught up with him.
"Run? Why don't you run?" Li Chengqian grabbed Li Yuanchang's collar with red eyes. He didn't want to care about anything now.
Fuck your prince!
Fuck you, you son of a bitch, King Han!
If you dare to touch my sister, even if I no longer want to be the crown prince today, I will beat you to death!
Li Yuanchang was still shouting, "Someone come quickly! The prince is going crazy! He wants to beat his uncle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian punched his other eye, making it a pair with the black eye.
After he shouted like that, some people who had wanted to come over to stop the fight didn't dare to join in the fun.
Seeing that everyone had formed a circle and no one dared to step forward, Li Yuanchang called for help twice and then began to change his strategy.
“Gao Ming, Gao Ming…” Li Yuanchang pressed Li Chengqian’s fist with one hand and held Li Chengqian’s arm that was grabbing his collar with the other hand, begging for mercy in a pitiful voice: “Gao Ming, for the good relationship we had in the past, please forgive Uncle Wang this time. Ah… Look, Chengxin was given to you by your uncle. You two get along so well…”
"uncle!"
"uncle!"
"Uncle Dogfoot!"
Li Chengqian punched Li Yuanchang three times in the face, knocking him dizzy.
Li Yuanchang only felt that there seemed to be a water and land Taoist temple in his mind, with chimes and cymbals ringing together.
"You are even worse than a Hu Bing! How dare you be my uncle?"
"Good! Good fight!" Some of the onlookers who were not afraid of death and enjoyed the excitement cheered from the sidelines.
This is the crown prince beating the prince. This is a rare and unusual thing that is rarely seen.
Oh... there was a little conflict between the prince and the crown prince at Xuanwu Gate, but the common people didn’t see it.
Besides, as the saying goes, the law does not hold everyone responsible. With so many people watching, the prince was so emotional that he didn’t know who was shouting wrong?
"Kick him in the lower third!"
I don't know who shouted, but it was mainly for the purpose of stirring up trouble.
Li Yuanchang's heart tightened, and then he felt relieved.
His eldest nephew hates people giving him advice the most.
In fact, Li Chengqian originally refused to accept advice and would get angry with anyone who gave him advice. But in this situation, Li Chengqian suddenly changed.
Hey, now I am open to advice!
I am the people's good prince, so you must listen carefully!
The main target was Li Chengqian, who was listening to advice. He bent his knees and hit Li Yuanchang in the vital points.
"Ouch!"
Li Yuanchang felt pain and his body instantly bent like a shrimp.
Don't fucking listen to advice when you shouldn't!
Seeing that Li Chengqian was so humbly willing to listen to advice, the onlookers couldn't help but have an idea.
Who the hell said that our prince is stubborn and unwilling to accept advice?
This shows that he is humble and open-minded, very much like his father!
If anyone again slanders the Crown Prince for being unable to accept advice, we, the people of Chang'an, will be the first to be angry with him!
Your mother. There was a commotion here, and the Jinwu Guards outside saw the commotion, and a lieutenant came over with his men.
"Why are you making so much noise here!" the captain shouted.
"Stop making noise! There's a fight going on inside! The King of Han is being beaten!" Someone shouted.
The captain's face changed immediately. The prince of the current dynasty was being beaten?
He immediately pushed through the crowd and stretched his neck to take a look inside.
After seeing this, he immediately turned around and left without any hesitation.
When his soldiers saw this, they asked in confusion: "Captain, this is the King of Han being beaten, aren't we going to do anything about it?"
"You're crazy!" The captain shouted, "The one who beat him was the prince! How many lives do you have to take care of it? Listen to me, just pretend you didn't see anything and let's patrol somewhere else!"
After hearing this, the soldiers did not dare to delay and followed the captain and left quickly.
At the same time, Li Tai was sitting in a car preparing to go to a restaurant to secretly get a meal.
He had been feeling very depressed these past few days, staying at home all the time, and the princess Yan Wan was controlling him so much that he couldn't get a single bite of meat to eat. When he finally got a chance, Yan Wan and other ladies went to visit Qujiang Lake, and he secretly called Wei Ting to go to the restaurant to eat and drink.
After all, it’s our own business, so it doesn’t count as freeloading!
When he walked over here, Li Tai saw the noise ahead and became curious.
It is human nature to watch the fun, and the same is true for Li Tai, the King of Wei.
"Why is there so much noise?" Li Tai said as he squeezed in.
"It's the Prince who's beating the King of Han!" someone nearby immediately said.
When Li Tai heard that it was the Crown Prince who beat the King of Han in the street, he immediately became alert.
He knew that the Prince of Han and the Crown Prince were of the same ilk and had always been on good terms with each other; and Li Tai knew even better that the little boy Chenxin who had been with Li Chengqian before was a gift from the Prince of Han.
How come two people who were wearing the same pair of pants suddenly broke up? Li Tai couldn't help but feel the desire to eat melons.
Wei Ting was even more excited. What a good material! The prince beat the King of Han in the street. This outrageous behavior must be severely impeached!
He had already quickly written a short essay of a thousand words in his mind, and was just waiting for Li Tai's order to go out and impeach.
"Your Majesty, this prince is too..."
Wei Ting only said half of his words and stopped talking.
Those who understand will understand naturally. If you say too much, people will find an excuse to gossip about you.
Li Tai laughed, he certainly understood what Wei Ting meant.
If it was about the previous request for "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", Li Tai would never impeach Li Chengqian, and he even praised Li Chengqian's behavior in his heart.
But he didn't mind adding a little spice to this outrageous act of beating his uncle in the street.
How crazy!
too……
He was muttering to himself how to put on the eye drops, when he saw Li Chengqian throw Li Yuanchang to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The crowd watching exclaimed in admiration.
Li Tai also looked at the two people in the field in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Wow, brother, your wrestling skills are pretty good.
Putting aside the position, I would like to call you the number one wrestler in Chang'an!
When he fell, Li Chengqian changed his angle and saw Li Tai's fat face in the crowd.
"Qingque!" Li Chengqian yelled, "Come and help me beat this dog-like thing!"
"Brother, I can't do this." Li Tai said sarcastically, "You are the prince, you can beat up your uncle, but I can't. If I do this, my father will throw me out to serve as a vassal the next day..."
"You still have the mood to say sarcastic words?" Li Chengqian was immediately furious. He grabbed Li Yuanchang with one hand and pointed at Li Tai with the other, cursing: "Wait until I beat Li Yuanchang, then I will beat you!"
"I am not happy when you say that." Li Tai's face fell, "Beating up Uncle Wang in the street, I don't need to tell you what this crime is, right?"
Li Chengqian roared, "What a crime! He drugged Li Zhi and murdered her. If I, as her elder brother, don't beat him to death, how can I live in the world with dignity? Even if I have to face impeachment by the censors today, I will avenge Li Zhi!"
Damn it?
Such explosive news?
The onlookers were originally there to watch for fun. The fight between royal family members had nothing to do with ordinary people like them.
But looking at it now...
The King of Han drugged the princess and murdered her. Is the Crown Prince standing up for his sister?
Then the nature is different!
The prince is really a man of true character! For the sake of his sister, he even ignored the impeachment and dignity and stood up for her...
What a good brother!
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Prince! Good job!"
"Yes! Prince! Well done!" the crowd praised.
These days, blood feuds are the norm, and revenge for one's relatives is not only not a sin, but will be rewarded.
And the prince was willing to risk being impeached by the censors and giving up his position as the crown prince just to avenge his sister...
What is this? This is my model prince of the Tang Dynasty!
"Oh, the prince is really..." Wei Ting smacked his lips and sighed. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the King of Wei had disappeared.
While looking around, he saw Li Tai had already parted the crowd and walked to the center of the field.
Li Tai remained silent and said nothing. He grabbed Li Yuanchang's collar and punched him twice.
"If there is an impeachment, count me as one too!" Li Tai didn't even look at Li Chengqian. He hit Li Yuanchang with one hand and said with the other: "So what if I'm impeached! I'm going to beat this bastard to death today!"
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai in a daze. He didn't expect that Li Tai would not only give up such a good opportunity to attack him, the prince, so easily, but even take the blame together with him.
"What are you looking at? What's the point of looking at me! Go for it!" Li Tai cursed, but his hands were not idle, still beating Li Yuanchang.
It was too late for Li Yuanchang to resist now. Facing the heavyweight opponent Li Tai, he could not struggle at all.
Wei Ting, who was watching on the side, slapped himself in the face. What was going on?
Just when Li Chengqian was about to speak, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded.
"Everyone get out of my way!" A voice that was still in the voice change period sounded.
The crowd immediately made way for each other, and Li Chengqian looked up and saw his youngest brother Li Zhi riding a horse and galloping towards him.
Li Zhi rushed to the edge of the crowd, jumped off his horse quickly and neatly, and drew out his sword with a clang.
His eyes were red and he stared at Li Yuanchang with bloodshot eyes, then he rushed towards him with a sword in hand.
"Li Yuanchang! I'm your mother!"
