"Your Highness, as far as I know, this matter started because of a memorial. Does Your Highness know who wrote this memorial?”
In the Prince Wei's Mansion, Wei Ting's expression was gloomy as he directly made things difficult for Li Tai.
He was fine in the manor, eating and singing at the banquet. In the blink of an eye, an imperial edict was issued. He was demoted from a fourth-grade assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel to a sixth-grade supervisor!
He had never been so dumbfounded before!
Even if it was a little dereliction of duty, it shouldn't be to the extent of being directly demoted to Jiaozhou, right? Surely he wouldn't go all the way, right?
Facing Wei Ting's question, Li Tai was a little confused," Assistant Minister Wei, you mean that this matter was arranged by this Prince?”
"Isn't that so?"
"It definitely wasn't done by This King!"
Li Tai immediately denied it and said righteously,"How could this king be so stupid to give Imperial Father a bad taste at this juncture and target His Highness the Crown Prince?”
"Vice Minister Wei, don't worry. This Prince will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!”
Wei Ting's expression was still very unsightly. However, since Li Tai had already said this, he could not force him again," His Majesty has ordered me to rush to Jiaozhou to take up my post within three days. I hope that Your Highness can give me a reasonable explanation. Farewell."”
After Wei Ting left, Li Tai's expression immediately sank. Who did this?
It better not be my people…
Li Tai muttered in his heart. If it was his subordinate who had done such a stupid thing, then there was really no hope.
"Men…"
" Your Highness, the Imperial Censorate has sent news that Lord Wang has been chased out of Chang 'an by Wei Zheng.”
“……？”
……
Outside Chang 'an City.
A convoy slowly drove over.
In the carriage, Li Chengqian looked out and felt a sense of familiarity at Chang 'an City, which he had not seen for a long time.
"Your Highness, should we return to the residence directly or enter the palace first?”
"Of course, I'm going back to the residence."
Li Chengqian did not hesitate.
Why did he enter the palace?
Report to Li Shi Min?
With Sun Li and Qin Chuan, did he need to report it himself?
Of course, he had to return to the residence to rest.
The convoy drove into Chang 'an Fortress, causing quite a stir.
Back then, when Li Chengqian brought his men to Jiangnan, there were quite a number of people who sent him off. Moreover, after these few days of spreading the news about the flood in Jiangnan Road, most of them knew that Li Chengqian had gone to Jiangnan Road to control the flood.
However, it had only been a short while before Li Chengqian brought people back.
"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't solve it and ran back dejectedly?”
"How could that be? I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has a hand in controlling the flood.”
"Heh, how can you be sure that His Highness the Crown Prince has the ability? Don't forget that there were rumors that the Crown Prince didn't want to be the Crown Prince and was unwilling to control the flood. In the end, it was the Emperor who agreed. Wasn't it obvious that his ambition wasn't here?”
"Yes, yes, yes. How long has His Highness been gone? How can the flood be resolved so quickly?”
"Although that is the case, His Majesty has never had the intention to change his position. The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince. It is impossible for him to run back dejectedly.”
"Who knows…"
……
Returning to the crown prince's residence, which he had not seen for a long time, he felt very comfortable and at ease.
Just from the furniture alone, it was much more comfortable than the hard benches in the Suzhou government office.
" Your Highness, according to what you said earlier…"
Sun Simiao smiled and took out a small notebook from his sleeve.
With just a glance, Li Chengqian had a headache." Elder Sun, how did you learn it from that fellow Qin Chuan?”
Sun Simiao didn't mind." Mr. Qin is right. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I'll just jot it down so that I won't forget it in the future."”
"Furthermore, wasn't the Crown Prince the same back then?”
I did that to solve the flood problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, why would I write that thing all night?
Li Chengqian silently scratched his head.""Elder Sun, this journey has been extremely bumpy, and I'm mentally and physically exhausted. Why don't we wait?”
"Wait?"
"Then when will Your Highness be free?”
"Let me rest for a few days."
Li Chengqian smiled." There's no hurry. I won't run away anyway."”
Sun Simiao was speechless.
"Your Highness, Tang Guan is here.”
"This guy is quite well-informed.”
"Invite him in." Li Chengqian smiled in surprise.”
"Tang Guan greets the Crown Prince and Doctor Sun.”
Tang Guan walked in with big steps, bowed and smiled,"" I heard that the Crown Prince had returned to Chang 'an City quietly. I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true."”
"Presumably, in the eyes of the Crown Prince, the Jiangnan Road flood is just a small matter that is almost certain to happen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned like this.”
"When I came back just now, I heard many people say that I failed to control the flood and ran back dejectedly…" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said.
"They're just a bunch of short-sighted people!”
Tang Guan waved his hand with a smile." If the Crown Prince hadn't solved the flood, he wouldn't have come back so soon. He wouldn't have returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion directly."”
"By doing this, the Crown Prince is obviously confident of victory. However, how can those people understand Your Highness's conceit and pride?”
"So?"
"Therefore, I have already ordered people to prepare a banquet at the Pavilion of Fragrance to welcome the Crown Prince!”
"Good! BenGong indeed didn't misjudge you!"
Li Chengqian smiled when he saw Tang Guan's thorough preparation.
Indeed, it was hard to find a confidant.
Sun Simiao, who was sitting at the side, shook his head.
"Elder Sun, shall we go together?"
