Chapter 97: Traitor! Evil thief! Rebel! (asking for monthly ticket)
Li Shimin, who was ignored by his daughter, felt more and more that something was wrong. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to put the arrangement for Zhining on hold for the time being.

Even if there is a slight possibility, Lao Li is not willing to take the risk.

He immediately called Wang De and ordered him to find someone to investigate Yu Zhining first.

It is normal to want to marry women from the five surnames. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty wanted to marry them, including Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling. One married a woman from the Cui family of Qinghe, and the other married a woman from the Lu family of Fanyang.

But at this juncture, such a coincidence...

Old Li was worried in Lizheng Hall, and Li Xiang also returned to the East Palace.

My mission is accomplished!

Li Chengqian, who had been waiting eagerly, could not wait to ask Li Xiang, "How is it, Xiang'er?"

Li Xiang spread his hands towards his baby elephant: "Take them all, sweep them all away!"

Although he couldn't quite understand what was said, Li Chengqian could also hear the meaning of "the situation is already decided" from Haodaer's words.

"I asked my aunt to talk to him for me. I believe that Grandfather has already started sending people to investigate Yu Zhining." Li Xiang said with a smile.

When Li Chengqian heard that it was Li Mingda who was asked to help, he knew it was a sure thing.

He knows better than anyone that his father is a daughter slave.

Before Li Lizhi left the palace, her father listened to her very much; now there is another Li Mingda who is raised by her father, and the effect may be much better than Li Lizhi.

"In this case, I will have to bear the consequences if I discipline that old man Yu Zhining!" Li Chengqian waved his fist and said excitedly: "Humph, if that old man makes noise in front of me again, he will suffer the consequences if I discipline him!"

"Aye, do you really think that you are going to drive Yu Zhining away just because he is noisy?" Li Xiang suddenly asked.

Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "Isn't it because Xiang'er feels sorry for his father who is often oppressed by this beast that he wants to help his father eradicate it?"

Li Xiang looked at his father with an expression as if he was looking at a fool.

Seeing this look, Li Chengqian was enraged!

"You...you little bastard, what are you looking at?" Li Chengqian asked angrily.

A look of care for the mentally retarded?
Li Xiang did not say it, but said to Li Chengqian: "Father, have you ever thought about why Yu Zhining wrote twenty articles of "Remonstrance Garden"? "

"Isn't it just to humiliate my father? Haha." As soon as Yu Zhining was mentioned, Li Chengqian's attention was immediately diverted.

Sometimes single-celled organisms can be pretty cute.

"We have to mention Zhang Xuansu, Aye." Li Xiang sighed and said to Li Chengqian, "Zhang Xuansu may have the intention of being good to you, but he has a very impatient temper - but Yu Zhining is just using you as a tool to gain fame."

"Why do you say that?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but asked in shock.

"Think about it, after the teacher gave advice to Aong, did he compile the monarch's mistakes into a book for everyone to read?" Li Xiang looked at him and asked.

As he spoke, he was still thinking, fortunately now is not the time to work...

Li Chengqian had never really thought about this. After years of being controlled by the officials of the Eastern Palace, he had actually begun to doubt himself and even gave up on himself.

Now someone told him that these people's advice was purely for the sake of improving their own reputation...

Li Chengqian knew that he was in the wrong regarding the Zhang Xuansu incident, but the situation was different now.

What's more, there are vivid examples before us - look at Wei Zheng, this "human mirror", has he ever done such a thing?

Li Chengqian was immediately furious: "Old thief! Yu thief! Traitor! Evil thief! Rebellious thief!"

Li Xiang: …

Wouldn’t Ma Chao come to ask you for copyright fees?

Oh, so Ma Chao is dead. That’s all right.

“Father, calm down, calm down…” Li Xiang immediately grabbed Li Chengqian’s hand, gently stroked his back and consoled him: “Don’t be angry. If you get angry, no one can replace you. Life is never going to go as planned…”

Li Chengqian panted twice, looked at Li Xiang and said, "This beast... is bullying me too much!"

"Not only that, Father Ye, think about it, at such a critical juncture, why did Yu Zhining's son have to be engaged to the daughter of Zheng from Xingyang when there were so many other people he could marry?"

Li Xiang's words were gentle and persuasive, but they sounded very harsh to Li Chengqian's ears.

"Anyway... I think your Eastern Palace should be cleaned up." Li Xiang said pointedly, "If you don't believe me, you can go to my father-in-law and get the twenty chapters of "Remonstrance Garden" and compare them carefully to see which mistakes were corrected by Yu Zhining in front of him, and which ones were known by Yu Zhining but should not have been known."

This preventive shot must be given. The Eastern Palace can almost be described as a sieve, with leaks everywhere.

Li Xiang didn't want outsiders to know in real time what clothes he changed into and what color loincloth he wore today. That would be too scary.

"I understand what you said!" Li Chengqian nodded heavily and said through gritted teeth, "It's time to clean up the East Palace. I want to see who these slaves belong to!"

Li Xiang spread his hands and said, "It's your fault that the real Crown Princess was so satisfactory before."

The little boy's daughter doesn't care about anything and only knows how to stick to you and act like a spoiled child. Besides, he is a person sent in by the King of Han, so naturally he will open the door to Han's people.

Li Chengqian actually now realizes that Chengxin is actually indecisive, but he just doesn't want to believe it.

After all, Chengxin is his white moonlight.

Alas, you have been harmed by Nan Liang in this life!

"Don't worry about this matter now. Father, you should think about tomorrow's grand court meeting first." Li Xiang looked at Li Chengqian with sympathy: "Recently, your reputation has spread throughout Chang'an City..."

"What's my reputation!" Li Chengqian jumped up.

"What other reputation can it be? Buying aphrodisiacs everywhere." Li Xiang spread his hands and said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow's court meeting may be the time for the noble families to attack you..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wang De's voice outside.

Li Chengqian did not dare to delay and immediately went out to greet Wang De.

"Your Majesty has a letter. Please read it yourself, Prince."

Wang De handed a sealed letter to Li Chengqian, and then said: "I will not bother you any more, Your Highness, please read it carefully."

Experience? Experience of what?

Li Chengqian walked back into the hall and opened the envelope.

After reading it, Li Chengqian's expression turned serious.

"What's wrong, Aye?" Li Xiang asked with concern.

"Your grandfather's letter was as you expected." Li Chengqian silently placed the letter on the candle, lit it, and placed it on a tray beside him, letting it burn out.

"Yu Zhining's matter?" Li Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this too fast?"

"No, Qingque sent a letter to your grandfather, saying that the noble families will ally with him to launch an impeachment against me tomorrow." Li Chengqian smiled, tapped his fingers on the table, and said softly: "It seems that tomorrow is the time for reckoning!"

"Are you ready, Aye?" Li Xiang asked with a smile.

Li Chengqian sneered and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Li Xiang was about to leave: "I wish you a great victory tomorrow and a lot of killing!"

"You brat." Li Chengqian stopped him with a smile. Without saying anything more, he just waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.

Li Xiang returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Without the threat of Li Jue's water attack, he found himself a little uncomfortable.

Just as he was lying on the bed in a daze, he saw Li Jue walking towards him holding a small pillow.

"Brother, brother..."

"Are you here?" Li Xiang didn't even move. He couldn't tell who the voice was.
"Brother, I want to drink juice." Li Jue said in a soft voice.

"Drink a hammer, go to sleep!" Li Xiang turned over and made way. Who would have thought that Li Jue would suddenly become excited: "Brother, what is the hammer you are talking about? Is it delicious?"

Li Xiang took a deep breath and decided not to bother with the little brat.

He just turned over and suddenly remembered the oranges that Li Mingda had asked someone to bring him.

In fact, these oranges should be left for a while before eating, as they are still a bit sour if eaten now. But in order to make Li Jue give up the desire to drink juice, Li Xiang rolled his eyes and decided to squeeze him a glass of juice.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang called out, "Fubao."

"Da Lang." Fu Bao responded.

"Go get some oranges and squeeze some juice for us." Li Xiang ordered, adding in his mind that it was for Li Jue.

Fubao obeyed the order and went. He didn't know why Dalang asked him to squeeze the sour orange juice, but he didn't ask much.

Soon, he came back with a bowl of orange juice.

The orange color of the juice was very attractive, and Li Jue immediately became energetic.

"Brother, what kind of fruit is this juice made from?" he asked in a baby voice.

"This is the orange your aunt Jinyang gave me. I was planning to keep it for eating, but since you want to drink juice, I'll make juice for you."

Li Xiang said, and added: "I can't bear to eat this fruit."

"Brother is so nice." Li Jue said with a smile, then grabbed the bowl, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit.

After a while, he let out a burp.

"Wow, that's so sour!"

"Ah? How can it be sour?" Li Xiang scratched his head and asked, "This was given to me by my aunt Jinyang. My aunt loves me the most. How could she give me a sour fruit?"

"But it's sour! So sour!" Li Jue opened his mouth, his tongue was so sour and his saliva was dripping down.

"Then drink some water to calm yourself down." Li Xiang had no choice but to ask Fubao to make him another cup of honey water.

After drinking the honey water, Li Jue finally felt that the sour taste in his mouth was less severe, so he smiled contentedly.

He then complained: "Aunt Jinyang is really mean. She knew the fruit was sour, but she still gave it to you."

After he said this, Li Xiang pressed him down on the bed and slapped him twice on the butt.

"You kid, do you think you can plot Aunt Jinyang's actions? You deserve a beating!"

Li Jue was slapped twice and started sobbing while wiping his nose.

"My brother doesn't love me anymore, but loves Aunt Jinyang..."

Li Xiang: …

If you can be more useful than her when talking to Lao Li, then I will love you even more.

"Forget it, forget it. Go to sleep." Li Xiang rubbed Li Jue's head and said, "Today, I will tell you a story, okay?"

Children's crying comes and goes quickly. As soon as Li Jue heard the story, he stopped crying immediately.

"Yeah! Yeah! I want to hear a story!"

Li Xiang cleared his throat and said, "The story I want to tell you today is called "The Three Kingdoms of Jin"..."

"There is a robot called Doraemon..."

"Brother, what is Doraemon? What is a robot?" Li Jue asked cutely with his eyes open.

Li Xiang had no choice but to give him some popular science advice.

"Well... the protagonist is you, Juer. It is said that Li Jue traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty with Doraemon..."

As they were talking, when Li Xiang lowered his head again, he found that Li Jue had fallen asleep.

He stood up, yawning, and walked to the desk beside him, intending to draw a few sketches before going to sleep.

Since his aunt had helped him so much, he should at least make a small gift for her.

After the painting was finished, two hours had passed.

Li Xiang stretched lazily, turned around, walked to the bed, and pulled Li Jue up.

Li Jue rubbed his eyes, not knowing why he suddenly flew into the air.

"Go wash your hands quickly." Li Xiang said, pointing outside.

Li Jue let out an "oh" and ran out with his calves.

The palace was brightly lit and there were maids and eunuchs on duty, so Li Jue was not afraid. He went to the bathroom and slipped back.

Li Xiang silently gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

I slept well that night, and no major incidents such as flooding of the seven armies occurred.

Inside the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin was just about to go to bed.

As soon as I stood up, I saw Wang De walking in from outside.

"Everyone, there is news from Class A." Wang De reported in a low voice: "We have not heard of the news that Yu Zhanshi is going to marry the Zheng family of Xingyang..."

Li Shimin sat back in his original seat and reached out to knock on the table unconsciously.

"Got it, back off," he said.

Wang De retreated in response.

Li Shimin looked outside the palace and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

He never doubted that his daughter would lie, and he never doubted the authenticity of the news Princess Gaoyang heard.

After all, Princess Gaoyang's mother-in-law was from the Lu family of Fanyang, so it was normal for her to have some inside information.

However, his spies could not get any information...

This made him think deeply. If it wasn't something shameful, why did they keep the news secret?

"Yu Zhining... Xingyang Zheng..."

Li Shimin muttered to himself, having already sentenced Yu Zhining's political life to death.

……

The next morning, Li Chengqian got up early when Li Xiang was still asleep.

In fact, there was no fight between him and Crown Princess Su Yi last night. It was also Su Yi's idea to send Li Jue to Li Xiang.

She wanted the two brothers to develop a good relationship, and Li Chengqian was happy to see it happen, so he went along with it and tacitly agreed to let the two brothers improve their relationship.

After a quick breakfast, Li Chengqian left the East Palace on a sedan chair and headed for the Taiji Hall.

During the Zhenguan period, since the Daming Palace had not been completed, the grand court meetings were still held in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace.

For example, the Liangyi Hall was used for small court meetings or when Li Shimin received foreign officials.

At today's grand court meeting, all the officials present smelled something unusual.

A battle between prey and hunter is about to begin!
