In King Qin's Mansion in Chang 'an…
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong were all gathered here.
At this moment, Li Shi Min was sitting in the main hall, chatting happily with his trusted aides.
After the singing and dancing had ended, Zhangsun Wuji looked around and said to Li Shimin,""Your Highness, now that the situation has been established, it's time for Your Majesty to abdicate the Crown Prince.”
It was very obvious that he said this at this time.
Hearing this, Li Er withdrew the smile on his face. His eyes were complicated as he said with a solemn expression,"Fuji, father has not attended court for many days because of big brother and third brother.”
"Your Highness becoming the Crown Prince is the hope of all the civil and military officials in the court, and the hope of all the people in the world. His Majesty is indeed grieving, but state affairs cannot be neglected. If this continues, it will only damage the fate of our Great Tang.”
Fang Xuanling's eyes flickered for a moment before he couldn't help but interject.
"That's right! Your Highness, we are willing to go to Taiji Palace to see His Majesty and advise him.”Li Jing immediately expressed his opinion.
"In any case, in the Great Tang, aside from His Highness, we, Jingde, will not submit to anyone else.”Yuchi Gong chuckled and said seriously.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is old and weak. As a prince, you should be duty-bound to help His Majesty.”
Li Ji also opened his mouth to remonstrate.
At this moment, it was obvious that it was the time to take a stance. Everyone already knew what Li Er was thinking, and they knew that they needed to do this.
In the main hall, apart from Qin Qiong, practically everyone expressed their stance.
Seeing this, Li Er was naturally very happy after getting the answer. With so many civil and military talents assisting him, what was there to worry about?
However, he quickly turned his gaze to Qin Qiong. With a gentle smile on his face, he asked,"What does Uncle Bao think?"
The few of them secretly cried out in their hearts, Qin Qiong had always been loyal and upright by nature, speaking straightforwardly. If he accidentally offended His Highness, he was afraid that it would make His Highness unhappy again.
" Your Highness..." Li Jing wanted to help.
"Apothecary, if I don't ask you, then don't speak."”
"And you guys, the same."
Li Er's words immediately shut everyone's mouth as he looked at Qin Qiong with anticipation.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is the ruler, and we are the subjects. His Majesty was the father, and His Highness was the son. How could there be a courtier forcing the king, and a son forcing the father?”
Qin Qiong was silent for a moment before he finally couldn't help but speak up. He knew that his words weren't pleasant to the ears, but this was his nature. He never wanted to speak against his conscience.
In his opinion, if he really did this, wouldn't it be the same as forcing the abdication?
"Kacha…"
Zhangsun Wuji had just picked up the jade cup when his hand trembled from Qin Qiong's words. It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Everyone immediately felt their hearts palpitate. They lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at Li Er's expression.
As expected, Li Er, who was filled with anticipation, had a dark expression on his face. He stared at Qin Qiong in a daze and pointed at him. For a long time, he did not say a word.
The hall was terrifyingly quiet. Almost everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeat.
It's over, it's over…
This idiot really dared to say anything?
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
"Your Highness is so stingy. You don't even call me Old Cheng when you eat and drink.”
Cheng Yaojin's rough voice rang out before he walked into the hall.
It broke the tense atmosphere just in time. Everyone wiped their cold sweat with fear.
"Old Monster Cheng, you came so late. You must punish yourself with three cups of wine.”
"Madman Cheng, didn't you escort the Wind Observer to Youzhou? Why are you back so soon?"
"Old Cheng! It's better to come at the right time than to get old early. Hurry up and take a seat.”
After breaking the silence, everyone began to talk to each other to lighten the atmosphere.
Li Er's face also revealed a trace of a smile. However, he looked at Qin Qiong with a meaningful gaze and felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
He wouldn't be so calculative over such trivial matters. He was extremely clear about Qin Qiong's temperament. However, understanding was one thing, and feeling uncomfortable in his heart was another.
Now, his meaning was already very obvious. Everyone else understood, but you didn't?
After Cheng Yaojin sat down, Li Er had already recovered and put the matter aside. He just smiled at Cheng Yaojin and asked,"Yizhen, you're back? Had the matter been settled? Why didn't you invite Sir along?”
"Your Highness, we can't invite him over. I'm afraid that young master Li Chuan is doomed this time!”When Cheng Yaojin thought of Li Chuan, he looked regretful and sighed.
"What happened?" Everyone was shocked again, and their faces were all strange. What day was it today? Each and every one of them came to touch His Highness 'brows? Who didn't know that His Highness admired Sir?
"You just love to talk nonsense. Don't be rude. If this gets into Sir's ears, won't it embarrass Sir?”Li Er pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said angrily.
"Your Highness, I'm not joking or talking nonsense. Young Master Li Chuan is really dead.”
Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened and he said firmly. On the way back, he thought for a long time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Chuan was dead this time. He had planned to go back and save him, but he thought that he wouldn't be able to save him with just a few people.
Li Er saw that Cheng Yao was serious and felt a chill in his heart. He chased after him with a gloomy expression,"What happened? Didn't I ask you to protect Mister?"
Although Cheng Yaojin looked rough on the surface, he had a rough exterior and a delicate personality. Seeing that His Highness was angry, he quickly told him about Li Chuan's decision to barge into the gathering place of the rebels alone.
He explained everything in detail from the beginning to the end, not daring to leave anything behind.
Everyone in the hall listened curiously. Their eyes flickered as if they were analyzing Cheng Yaojin's words.
"No more?" Li Er waited for Cheng Yaojin to finish speaking, then frowned and asked.
With his understanding of Li Chuan, how could he not know the depth of such a talent?
Even a boor like you can see that this is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. I don't know how much more talented Sir is than you. How can he do such an absurd thing?
"Are you done?"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and looked at Li Er with some fear.
"Think about it carefully."
Li Er glared at him.
"Oh, right, before young master Li Chuan left, he asked me to tell Your Highness that the danger of Youzhou will be resolved in a few days.”
"However, I, Old Cheng, would like to say something. I, Old Cheng, think that Mr. Li Chuan must have lost his mind. He doesn't have enough people to fill the gaps between his teeth. What nonsense is he talking about? I, Old Cheng, would like to ask Your Highness to give me the Commander's Seal. I will immediately mobilize 50,000 troops to clean up the chaos in Youzhou. If Young Master Li Chuan is still alive, I can also save him.”Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment and added.
