Chapter 54: Chang Sun Chong, the Prince's Household Order
Chapter 54: Chang Sun Chong, the Prince's Household Order
After the slap mark on Chang Sun Chong's palm disappeared, he couldn't wait to go to the Eastern Palace again with Princess Changle.
There were also a lot of gifts accompanying them.
If Princess Changle went to the Eastern Palace with great fanfare, it could be said to be out of brotherly love, or it could be said that Changsun Wuji asked Princess Changle to intercede.
So this time, since Chang Sun Chong came with Princess Changle, there wouldn't be so many questions.
It is obvious that it was Changsun Wuji who made the decision.
For a time, the outside world was quite shocked.
In a short period of time, the prince forced the most cunning old fox in the court to bow his head and submit.
One cannot help but sigh at the cruelty and cleverness of the prince's methods.
East Palace.
Changsun Chong and Princess Changle greeted him respectfully.
"no."
"When you arrive at the East Palace, you should feel like you are at home."
Li Chengqian said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
His mood has never been so beautiful.
He no longer has to support the Eastern Palace alone.
From the beginning to the end, Li Chengqian's purpose in forcing Zhangsun Wuji was to make him take sides.
Supporting him is maximizing benefits.
Invisibly, it can create a positive political trend.
If Changsun Wuji was stubborn and refused to change his ways, Li Chengqian would only end up killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own, making the Changsun family the target of public criticism.
This is the result he least wants to see.
After all, his uncle is his natural political ally and partner.
The loss of such a political ally would be a heavy price for him.
Fortunately, we are finally together and don’t have to worry anymore.
"Brother Crown Prince, you were in the Taiji Palace, scolding Qingque for being disrespectful."
Li Lizhi said playfully.
"Nonsense, I was talking about outside, this is at home."
Li Chengqian blamed: "The Eastern Palace is your home."
"Now that we're home, we can just be more casual."
Chang Sun Chong was still reserved and unable to relax.
He was somewhat afraid of his cousin from the bottom of his heart.
Ayedu was forced to bow his head, so how could he have the courage to act rashly?
Talk about it.
Chang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi were both only nineteen years old, two years younger than Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian is twenty-one this year.
Both parties are young people.
Both of them were orthopedic surgeons when they were fourteen years old.
This phenomenon of early marriage was common in ancient times and no one thought it was wrong.
It was Li Chengqian who had his first child at the age of twelve.
The eldest son Li Xiang.
He's almost ten years old now.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help."
Chang Sun Chong said respectfully: "After I heard about the East Palace Forum, I was eager to go there, and finally I got what I wanted."
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
"Li Zhi has come to me, her brother, so how can I not agree?"
Li Chengqian asked: "What is your current official position?"
"The Prince Consort's Commandant, other idle positions..."
Chang Sun Chong responded.
Logically speaking, Changsun Wuji was an important official in the court, Li Er's confidant, and a hero of the Xuanwu Gate Campaign.
Chang Sun Chong should be given more attention for training.
But nowadays, only the title of the Royal Guards has the highest status, and the others are just empty and dispensable positions.
Of course, he could have inherited the title of Duke of Zhao without having to work so hard.
However, Changsun Wuji allowed Changsun Chong to be idle, and Li Er did not ask any questions.
This is very intriguing.
"Well, there's no need to talk between you and me."
Li Chengqian said, "Come to the East Palace to be my housekeeper."
"Okay?"
Chang Sun Chong didn't know how to reply, so Li Lizhi agreed for him and said happily, "Thank you, Prince."
"He has nothing to do all day, so it's just right for him to follow the Crown Prince and learn more, which is also something to do."
"But...but I."
"What do you mean by yours, yours? Prince's Household Order, so many people have begged for it but failed, and yet you are still making excuses." Li Li questioned, "Do you look down on me or what?"
"I dare not, I dare not..."
Li Chengqian didn't care about Chang Sun Chong's reaction and said, "It's settled."
"I will send someone to Taiji Palace to report to His Majesty later."
run?
You, Chang Sun Chong, are the hostage.
I can run away from the monk, but I can't run away from the temple.
How can I feel at ease if I don't trap you in the East Palace?
Changsun Wuji knew about it and had no reason to refuse.
How to refuse?
Chang Sun Chong is my cousin and brother-in-law, so what's wrong with me giving him a hand?
Has the prince's steward wronged the eldest son of your Changsun family?
If you weren’t my cousin, I wouldn’t want to use you.
"Brother, I heard that the profit of Prince Tea is very high. I was shocked at that time."
Li Lizhi said in surprise: "Such a huge benefit, I am a little scared, I'd better return it to Big Brother."
Zhang Sun Chong glared secretly when he heard this, and then he reminded the princess of the huge profits of Prince Tea, so why did he ask for it back right away?
"Do you look down on your elder brother?" Li Chengqian asked calmly.
"No, no, no."
Li Lizhi waved her hands quickly, "It's just..."
"Someone is causing you trouble?" Li Chengqian asked.
"Not really, but once Prince Tea comes out, there will definitely be a lot of people who will be jealous." Li Lizhi said in a low voice.
"you……."
Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing.
He understood that this girl was playing tricks on him.
What do you mean by giving it back to him?
It's just a trick of playing hard to get.
Is she afraid?
Scared of shit.
A family of Changsun, and favored by Li Er.
Who dares to mess with her?
"I just have one request. I don't care what the tea is called outside, you can't sell it under the name of Prince Tea."
Li Chengqian said sternly: "Otherwise, I will be the first one to not forgive you."
"Don't come to me if you have any problems. Go to His Majesty or my uncle."
Li Lizhi stuck out her tongue, knowing that the Crown Prince had noticed her thoughts.
"Brother, don't be angry."
Li Lizhi took Li Chengqian's arm and said coquettishly, "How about this? From now on, I will give 50% of the profits from tea to you, big brother."
"Fifty percent?"
Li Chengqian tapped the girl's forehead and said, "It's easy for you to say now, but you will know how much pain I will feel later."
Chang Sun Chong's heart bled when he heard this.
Five percent.
That's a lot of money.
Just make the promise.
Heartache.
Heartbroken and unable to breathe.
"I don't feel bad. The prince doesn't feel bad for me, so why should I feel bad?"
"All the things belong to Big Brother, I picked them up for free."
Li Chengqian was full of doting towards his younger sister.
My mother told me before she died to take care of my younger brothers and sisters.
Whether it is creating a character or being sincere.
He really felt pity for Li Lizhi's fate.
"His Royal Highness."
Just then, someone from Taiji Palace came and read out Li Er's order.
"Your Majesty has ordered that Duke Chen lead his troops to annihilate Gaochang and return triumphantly. The Crown Prince is ordered to lead the ministers to welcome him at the Jinguang Gate tomorrow. Your Majesty will wait in the Guande Hall to hold a ceremony to present the captives."
Li Chengqian responded to the order.
Hou Junji.
This arrogant, brave but reckless guy is finally going to meet me.
After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Li Er wanted him to go and greet him.
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Li Chengqian's tone remained unchanged. He said, "You see, the Tang Dynasty has won another great victory."
"The destruction of a country is the result of offending the majesty of the Tang Dynasty."
