Chapter 23 Something happened
"That's not what I meant! As the right internal officer of the crown prince, how can you bend the law for personal gain? Especially for people like Helan Chushi who are disobedient and don't have the master in their eyes, they should be severely punished!"
"I asked you, Xue Li, to be the right internal officer, not to let you favor the powerful. As for how to do it, I don't care! You decide for yourself!" "
If anyone dares to stop you from doing your job, I will take care of it for you. Just do it boldly." Li Chengqian said earnestly. It's
not easy to be a crown prince. If you are too capable, the emperor will think you have ambitions to usurp the throne. If you are too incompetent, you will be easily disliked by the emperor.
If the balance is not grasped well, disaster will occur. Since ancient times, many princes with both virtue and talent have ended up in a miserable end because they did not know how to judge the situation.
Although Li Chengqian also hated He Lan Chushi, the traitor, he had to kill him for no reason, otherwise it would lead to opposition from the court.
Xue Rengui immediately understood that the prince meant for me to teach this guy named He Lan Chushi a lesson.
"Don't worry, Your Highness! I know what to do!" Xue Rengui said.
"Well! Wang Quan, you take Rengui to the You Nei Shuai Mansion to take office, so that my You Nei Shuai's guards and officials can meet their You Nei Shuai." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction and ordered Wang Quan to take Xue Rengui to the You Nei Shuai Mansion to report.
Xue Rengui followed Wang Quan to the Prince's Right Internal Officer's Mansion. As Li Chengqian expected, He Lan Chushi was the first to stand up and provoke Xue Rengui, the newly appointed Right Internal Officer.
Needless to say, Xue Rengui beat He Lan Chushi to a pulp and gave him a severe lesson.
Xue Rengui had a good grasp of the situation. Although He Lan Chushi suffered a lot, it was only superficial injuries.
Xue Rengui successfully killed the chicken to scare the monkey by teaching He Lan Chushi a lesson, calmed down the people in the Right Internal Officer's Mansion on the spot, and established his own prestige.
A few days later, Emperor Li II sent Pei Xingjian, Cheng Wuting, Li Jingxuan and the officials who were vacant in the Eastern Palace to the Eastern Palace.
In order to be considerate of the crown prince, Emperor Li II sent Hao Chujun and Qiu Shenji to be officials in Li Chengqian's Eastern Palace, both of whom were from the fifth rank.
On the side of Wei Wang Li Tai, Emperor Li II did not favor one over the other, and sent Wang Fangyi, who was summoned to Chang'an, to Li Tai's side as the brigade commander of Wei Wang's personal palace.
After Wang Fangyi arrived at Wei Wang's side, he quickly gained Li Tai's trust and was soon promoted to the military commander of Wei Wang's personal palace, commanding the personal guards of Wei Wang's palace, and was regarded as a confidant by Li Tai.
Li Tai even brought Wang Fangyi with him often to protect his safety.
One day, Li Chengqian was taking a nap in Guangtian Hall, but Wang Quan broke in and interrupted Li Chengqian's nap.
Li Chengqian glared at Wang Quan, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, like a beast that was ready to eat its prey, staring intently at the prey in front of him.
Wang Quan was so scared that he was sweating coldly, his back was already wet with sweat, his calves were trembling, and he was complaining in his heart.
Li Chengqian stared for a while, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the ferocity in his eyes had turned into a gentle look, making people feel like spring breeze.
"How can you be so flustered!" Li Chengqian spoke, his magnetic voice sounded like the sound of nature to Wang Quan's ears.
Wang Quan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness! Something big has happened!"
"What big thing has happened? You are so panicked and have no rules! It's just in front of me. If it were someone else, your performance would be enough to kill you several times." Li Chengqian said.
He was also very curious in his heart. What big thing had happened? Wang Quan dared to break in without notifying him when he was taking a nap.
"Your Highness! The horse of the prince's Qianniu He Lanchushi was startled on the street!" Wang Quan said hurriedly.
Li Chengqian frowned. If He Lanchushi's horse was startled on the street and hit a passerby, wouldn't someone from the government handle it? Why did he come to tell him something?
Could it be that there was something else here that he didn't know?
"What's the matter? Tell me in detail!" Li Chengqian said.
After Li Chengqian asked this question, Wang Quan remembered that he had not explained it clearly. "It was like this. Helan Chushi's horse was frightened for some reason. Not only did it hit passers-by, it also hit the carriage of the King of Wei."
"It frightened the King of Wei! The King of Wei's personal guards captured him, but Helan Chushi was unwilling to surrender and fought with the King of Wei's personal guards."
"In the end, he was captured alive by the General of the Wei Palace, Fangyi, and was severely injured. He is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. It is said that Helan Qianniu will be executed." Wang Quan told Li Chengqian everything he knew.
"Let's go! I want to go to the palace to see my father!" Li Chengqian stood up and said.
He Lan Chushi was the prince's Qianniu of his Eastern Palace. As the prince, Li Chengqian could not sit idly by when such a thing happened.
If he, the prince, could not protect his subordinates, who would serve you, the prince, with all their heart and soul in the future.
If he did not save He Lan Chushi, there was no guarantee that He Lan Chushi would not expose the fact that he, Hou Junji, Li Anyan and others wanted to rebel in order to save his life.
With He Lan Chushi's character, he would definitely drag Li Chengqian, the prince, into the water. Compared with scaring the King of Wei and the prince's rebellion, the latter was more important.
This was also an important reason why Li Chengqian had to save He Lan Chushi. If he really couldn't save him, Li Chengqian would have to let He Lan Chushi commit suicide in prison.
In this regard, Li Chengqian was still capable of doing it.
After leaving the East Palace and entering the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, Li Chengqian went to the Liangyi Hall.
At this time, in the Liangyi Hall, Wei Wang Li Tai was reporting the situation to Li Er, and insisted that He Lan Chushi intended to assassinate him.
In fact, he was hinting to Li Er that this matter was related to Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and it was very likely that the Crown Prince had ordered it.
Li Er frowned, and felt a little disgusted with the fat boy who was spitting in front of him.
He didn't believe that the Crown Prince would be so stupid as to send only a Crown Prince Qianniu to assassinate the heavily guarded prince in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.
Not to mention the Crown Prince, even ordinary people would not be so stupid, let alone the Crown Prince who was the crown prince.
"Father! You have to make a decision for me! I almost couldn't see you! Wu~wu~" Li Tai sobbed, wiping his tears while secretly observing Li Er's expression.
Seeing his beloved son crying and sad, Li Er's heart softened immediately. After all, his Qingqueer was too frightened, so he was suspicious and doubted his brother. This was understandable.
"Okay! I will let Sun Fujia handle this matter carefully and will definitely seek justice for you." Li Er comforted Li Tai.
"Thank you!" Li Tai happily threw himself into Li Er's arms and started to act coquettishly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to discuss with his staff after returning home and prove the fact that Li Chengqian had murdered him in the street.
