Chapter 12 Short Soldiers
Du He and Zhao Jie came to the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace. When they saw one or two hundred people rushing outside, Ruble stood in front and was talking to Kong Yingda. Seeing them coming out, they raised their voices and shouted, "Crown Prince comes out quickly and give the people an explanation, don't be unreasonable in the world?"
The two of them walked out with cold faces, and looked at the guards in front of the East Palace gate with two pairs of fire-breathing eyes.
"Are you all dead people? Let these people mess around in front of the East Palace gate, and don't use a whip to pull it out for me!" Zhao Jie roared in anger.
"Nothing! How can the people who seek justice be beaten?" A loud shout immediately overwhelmed Zhao Jie. Kong Yingda, whose hair and beard were white, was looking at him in anger.
Zhao Jie was furious and was about to argue with Kong Yingda, but was stopped by Du He. He looked at the hesitant guard and shouted: "Do you listen to Confucius or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He turned around and said to the young supervisor who followed him: "You haven't invited Confucius in yet, and it's frozen outside."
When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly stepped up, one left and one right to hold Kong Yingda and walked in.
Du He only looked at the guards in front of the East Palace gate coldly, and the guards then pulled out their whips and walked forward slowly.
When Rubu was about to be beaten, he yelled hysterically: "As the crown prince, he does not talk about benevolence and righteousness, and oppresses the people, how can he inherit..." Before he could finish his words, Zhao Jie pulled out his whip and stepped forward and thrust hard. The guards followed and pulled at the complainant, and for a moment, howling ghosts in front of the East Palace Gate.
Fortunately, Du He remembered Li Chengqian's order and stopped Zhao Jie without killing him. Rubu and a group of wounded patients ran to Dali Temple.
While running, he was shouting something.
On the way back, Du He and Zhao Jie walked past Zuochunfang gate and heard Kong Yingda shouting at Li Chengqian inside. Yu Zhining persuaded him a few words, but when he saw that he could not persuade him, he stopped talking.
Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard the report from Du He and Zhao Jie. He had seen Li Chengqian sending assassins to assassinate Zhang Xuansu and Li Tai in history books. Later, he was even more prepared to rebel. He thought that even if Wen Zhi was not good, he would at least have some troops. Why didn’t the guards in front of the door obey orders?
No wonder he failed in rebellion and assassination. How could he be invincible if he didn't even listen to the guards in front of the gate?
But this just gives him a reason to make this matter bigger.
"Old ghost, go and give each of the servants in Zuochunfang twenty boards, and ask them to serve the three masters well, and then the masters run around and beat them to death.
In addition, I went to various places to send orders to Hou Junji, Liu Shidao, Yang Shidao, Gao Shilian, and Sun Fujia called the Jiade Hall to meet the Gu Wang, and also called the left and right sects of the left and right sects of the left and right sects of the East Palace.
Let them call the prison gate to the big square in front of the Jiade Hall.”
The left and right sect guards are the guard bureau of the East Palace, and the left and right sect guards are two directors, corresponding to the left and right sect guards of the Tai Chi Palace.
"What are you going to do with your prince?" Xu Jingzong looked worried and frightened.
When Du He and Zhao Jie heard this, they looked excited and looked at Li Chengqian with bright eyes.
"If you don't do anything, just tell them the truth." Li Chengqian said quietly: "You can also listen later."
Then Li Chengqian looked back and excitedly Zhao Jie said, "I have a chore to hand it over to you, are you willing to."
"I wish to die for Your Highness!" Zhao Jie said with a fist.
"Okay, now you have prepared 500 taels of silver and a few fast horses. With the Order of the King, you immediately set off to Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Road to find a man named Xue Li, a name named Rengui. You tell him: the court is going to go east to go to Goguryeo to lack a vanguard general. My night dream god reminds me that he is skillful in bows and horses and has high martial arts skills. He should be a vanguard general in Goguryeo. But because of his poor military tactics, the palace summoned him to Beijing and would recommend him to take Li Wei as his army to learn military tactics. It must not be delayed. I will see him early the next morning. On the road, you must treat him kindly and not be rude to him. Five hundred silver is for him to settle down."
Seeing Li Chengqian's solemn orders, Zhao Jie was busy and solemnly responding to go out to prepare. Li Chengqian asked for paper and pen to write a decree to Xue Rengui, and asked someone to send it to Zhao Jie.
"Your Highness, what you said is true. Can Xue Rengui really be the vanguard general of the East?" Du Ke asked curiously.
"The gods and men told me." Li Chengqian said in a profound and profound way.

Things about Dali Temple and the East Palace were passed to various yamen and mansions in the capital like a flying mansion. Most people gave a thumbs up when they heard this and praised the Ruble as the strong order of the Tang Dynasty, and then criticized the prince Li Chengqian for being arrogant and domineering. Some even wrote the memorial to impeach the crown prince and waited for tomorrow to be submitted.
There are also a small number of people who think that Ruble led people to enter the East Palace forcibly, which is against etiquette and overcoming the rules, and there is suspicion of inviting fame to buy straightforwardness. Of course, these people dare not make a sound.
There are only two mansions in the capital that are abnormal. One is Changsun Wuji's mansion. In the afternoon, Changsun Wuji heard about what happened at the entrance of the East Palace and immediately ordered his family to prepare a salute for him. He was going to the Taoist temple outside the city to refine alchemy.
At the same time, they called their sons to come and told them to work hard and not talk nonsense. They would go home and leave behind the door to thank the guests.
Changsun Wuji almost went out with Zhao Jie.
Another place is Li Jing's mansion. A few years ago, Li Jing demolished the shadow door walls in the mansion because he was worried about Li Shimin's suspicion, and lived in the hall every day, with the door open for people to watch to show selflessness. In recent years, as Li Jing grew older and stayed away from the center of power, Li Shimin's suspicion about him had gradually been put aside, so the door of Li Jing's family was closed again.
This afternoon, when Li Jing heard what happened in the East Palace, he immediately ordered his family to open the door and not close it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it was almost time for dinner, Junji, Liu Shidao, Yang Shidao, Gao Shilian and Sun Fujia came to Jiade Hall.
Among them, Hou Junji, Liu Shidao, Yang Shidao, and Gao Shilian were all prime ministers who stayed in Beijing, and Sun Fujia was the immediate superior of Lubu, the minister of Dali Temple.
The Prime Minister and Sun Fujia have heard about the matter in front of the East Palace. Several prime ministers were called and thought that Li Chengqian was asking them to wipe their butts, so they felt very relaxed. Even if Sun Fujia's subordinates brought people to the East Palace, he believed that he was a minister of the court and he had asked for sick leave again, so he was not afraid.
Li Chengqian quietly observed these ministers in the back hall. Seeing that they all looked relaxed, they didn't care about themselves at all, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth secretly.
Hou Junji now wants to get on Li Chengqian's ship, but his real purpose is to make Li Chengqian become Emperor Xian of Han, and Hou Junji wants to be Cao Cao.
Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun, and he is his uncle. However, Gao Shilian has always followed Changsun Wuji and will not help Li Chengqian.
Mr. Yang is so worried, but he is timid and afraid of things, his abilities are average, and he is useless.
Liu Shi is Li Tai's best friend and is very skilled in talking, so he will definitely oppose all his orders.
After analyzing the situation of these people, Li Chengqian came to a conclusion that everything here depends on himself.
Li Chengqian walked into the hall step by step with a special iron cane. The ministers hurriedly stood up to salute. Li Chengqian ignored the cold face and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
After waiting for a while, he said lightly: "Let's just flat."
Everyone bent down for a long time, and they couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian carefully after raising their heads.
Li Chengqian has not handled official business for a long time and has little contact with ministers. For a moment, these ministers have a sense of strangeness to him.
Li Chengqian was quietly waiting for them to speak, but no one was willing to speak.
Seeing that the old foxes didn't say anything, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth in his heart and said coldly: "It is said that the left and right sects of the East Palace will lead the sect."
For a moment, two young generals walked into the hall and saluted Li Chengqian.
When Li Chengqian looked at the young general who was not like that, he knew that they were either meritorious or children of a big family. Those who rely on their family to enter the East Palace for experience were not what he could win over now, so he would not be polite.
