Chenxin's arrival made Li Chengqian very satisfied. He immediately ordered the palace servants to bring Chenxin to the harem to wash up and prepare. He held a banquet in the palace to thank Li Yuanchang, the Imperial Uncle who thought of him in everything.
Seeing this, Li Yuan Chang hurriedly called out to stop him. After which, he repeatedly gestured to Li Chengqian. Only then did Li Chengqian retreat to the left and right, bringing Li Yuan Chang to an extremely secret place in the Eastern Palace.
"Crown Prince, this is the treasure I want to give you.”
After entering the secret chamber, Li Yuanchang impatiently took out the Dragon Tiger Token and placed it in front of Crown Prince Li Chengqian with both hands.
" Dragon Tiger Token?!"
Li Chengqian sucked in a breath of cold air as he looked at Li Yuanchang uneasily.
"Imperial Uncle, what do you want this Dragon Tiger Token for? There are only two pieces in the world. One is with Imperial Grandfather, and the other is with my Imperial Father. Imperial Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Crown Prince, it's not this king who wants this Dragon Tiger Token, but the Crown Prince who wants this Dragon Tiger Token. Hou Junji has already gathered three thousand elite soldiers to lie in ambush in Chang 'an, and the Han Imperial Residence has more than a thousand warriors.”
"With the addition of the thousand guards in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, the Imperial Palace will change hands overnight.”
"The Crown Prince is young and promising, and he has the world in his heart. Everyone knows of his benevolence and kindness. He has also won the trust and favor of Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and the other ministers.”
"We have the right time, the right place, and the right people.”
"Crown Prince, if we don't move now, when will we?”
Li Yuanchang said everything he wanted to say in one go, then quietly observed Li Chengqian's facial expression.
"Imperial Uncle, can this matter work?"
Li Chengqian hesitated.
"The Tang Empire was conquered by my father with a sword and a spear. Which of the ministers and military heroes in the court is not my father's brother?”
"Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Li Xiaogong…"
"If I rashly seize my father's world, these old generals will definitely not spare me. When the time comes, the Great Tang will once again be plunged into an abyss of suffering.”
Li Chengqian voiced his concerns.
"Crown Prince, what's so difficult about this? We only want the throne, we won't kill the emperor.”
"Crown Prince, have you forgotten how your Imperial Father forced your Imperial Grandfather to abdicate?”
"We imitated your Imperial Father's methods and imprisoned him in the depths of the palace, feeding him with good food and drinks every day.”
"With your Imperial Father in hand, Cheng Yaojin and those old fools naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly. After a few days, we'll find some trusted aides from the army and replace these people.”
"Without military power, how can they jump around?”
"At that time, the army will be yours, the throne will be yours, and the world of the Great Tang will naturally be yours.”
Li Yuan Chang saw that Li Chengqian was still hesitating, so he pushed the table open and bowed.
"This subject hopes that the Crown Prince can ascend to the throne as soon as possible and create another great undertaking for the Great Tang!”
"Imperial Uncle, you must not, you must not.”
Li Chengqian hurriedly helped Li Yuanchang who was kneeling on the ground up and said repeatedly.
"We can't act rashly on this matter. Imperial Uncle, please allow me to think about it.”
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked out of the secret chamber with a worried expression.
Li Yuan Chang looked at Li Chengqian's departing figure, his eyes extremely gloomy.
Little thing, if it wasn't for the fact that you're a member of the Crown Prince, would this Prince need to curry favor with you?
This king only wanted to borrow your hands to imprison Li Shimin in the palace and kill him after this king obtains military power. At that time, not to mention Li Shi Min, even a little thing like you won't be spared.
Indecisive and indecisive. Little thing, with your personality, how can you achieve great things?
Do you really think that this king is wholeheartedly doing this for you? Bah, in your dreams!
Li Yuanchang shook his head helplessly and pretended to be dispirited as he walked out of the secret chamber. Then, he walked straight out of the Eastern Palace.
"Imperial Uncle, I ordered someone to prepare a meal. Would Imperial Uncle like to eat with me?”
Li Chengqian saw that Li Yuanchang's expression was very dejected and hurriedly urged him to stay.
"No, Crown Prince. This Prince has been feeling unwell these days. Crown Prince, farewell!"
Li Yuan Chang cupped his hands and left desolately.
"This Imperial Uncle, sigh…"
Li Chengqian sighed helplessly. After a while, his expression changed again and he happily walked towards the rear palace. There, there was an actor called Chenxin waiting to accompany him to drink and have fun.
"Emperor, the King of Han has entered the Eastern Palace as a tribute to the performers. Emperor, do you want it?”
In Taiji Palace, Su Rui asked Li Shimin for his opinion in a low voice.
"Let Yuan Chang be. If he doesn't kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, Zhen's younger brothers won't completely give up, and Zhen won't be at ease.”
Li Shi Min sighed helplessly.
"As for Chengqian, I don't know if this child can calm down. Forget it, Su Rui, go and call Chengqian over. Zhen will at least give him some pointers so that he won't make a joke of a son forcing his father's position again and make the world laugh at him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Rui left, and not long after, Li Chengqian knelt respectfully in front of Li Shimin.
"Your son greets Imperial Father."
Li Chengqian kowtowed, his heart in turmoil.
"Yes, get up."
Li Shi Min replied, but his cold gaze seemed to have seen through Li Chengqian.
"The Han King went to your place again today?"
"Yes, Imperial Father. Imperial uncle was worried that his son would be mentally tired from studying day and night, so he found an actor and gave it to his son.”
"Yes, is that actor called Chenxin?”
"Yes, Imperial Father."
"He's still a man, and he's been raised as a daughter since he was young?”
"…This…"
Li Chengqian started to sweat profusely.
"How did Imperial Father know?"
"How did I know? Chengqian, oh Chengqian…"
"I know everything you've done in the Eastern Palace like the back of my hand. Do you think you can hide from me the weapons you've stored in the Eastern Palace under the guise of hunting and the hundreds of guards you've added for no reason?”
Li Shiming's imposing manner caused Li Chengqian to lie on the ground, trembling in fear and unable to answer.
"Cheng Qian 'er, I don't care how your Imperial Uncle causes trouble. But you can't."
"You are the Crown Prince of the Great Tang, the heir apparent of the Great Tang, and the person who will take over this Emperor's position in the future.”
"If you also mess around with your Imperial Uncle, it will make things very difficult for Zhen.”
"Cheng Qian 'er, do you understand what zhen said?”
"Father, father, son, son understands…"
Li Chengqian's entire body trembled as he spoke with a sobbing tone.
