Chapter 108: Catch the Prince's Sweetheart

After Lin Xiu came to Chang'an City, he helped Zhou Yunhe defeat Han Yue, helped him to take office, and visited Duke Wei Li Jing, Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin and others one by one, because Lin Xiu knew that he had no power!

If you know that you don’t have anything, you want to create something. Zuo Jinwuwei is an example.

Even though Lu Chuanhai and Zhou Yunhe are both their own people, for Lin Xiu, they cannot fully believe this person, especially the things they need to do involve people from the royal family.

So Lin Xiu has always lacked a confidant.

But now, there are Wang Jiji and Xue Guru.

These two are disciples of Zhongnan Mountain. They will never have any problems with their identity in Chang'an City. Besides, they are Lin Xiu's nephews. Dao Qingzi asked them to go down the mountain to follow Lin Xiu, so naturally they had to listen to Lin Xiu.

In addition, these two people are good at martial arts and are alert. They can help Lin Xiu do many shameful things and will definitely become confidants.

Seeing the two of them at this time, Lin Xiu asked directly: "Have you found a chance to do it?"

Wang Jiji and Xue Gushui nodded at the same time. Wang Jiji said, "I have investigated clearly. Before the curfew, the target will leave the palace and return to his residence. It is just right to do it."

"Uncle Master, we also found the place for interrogation. There is only a small problem. We have never learned this skill of interrogation!" Xue Gurugu was a little ashamed.

Wang Jiji nodded in agreement.

They have been seeking Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain since they were young. They thought they had learned a lot of knowledge, but after following the uncle, they realized that there were still many things they didn't understand.

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Leave the interrogation to others, don't worry."

Since last time he went to the Zuo Jinwu Guard's official office, he met the old man who was good at "Eighteen Needles" and was very amazed at his torture and confession. Therefore, after Zhou Yunhe took charge of Zuo Jinwu Guard, Lin Xiu mentioned this matter inadvertently. Zhou Yunhe had great eyesight and directly asked the old man to follow Lin Xiu.

The old man was not an official in the Jinwu Guard, and he was not even a official. After following Lin Xiu, his salary increased by four times. It was a great thing for the old man. Naturally, he was grateful to Dai Ze and vowed to be loyal.

Then, Lin Xiu said: "Look for an opportunity tonight and invite him."

"Yes, uncle!" Wang Jiji and Xue Gang responded slowly in unison.

....

The East Palace at this time.

During this period, Li Chengqian was very resentful because the saint not only removed his musician and Niannu, but also asked him to study and handle political affairs in the meeting hall.

Although he was the prince, and was more than ten thousand people, his identity did not work in the meeting hall. At first he wanted to express his concept of governing the country, but in the end he was rejected. It was only a few prime ministers who gave him face, otherwise it would be more than just a quarrel, which would be a ridicule.

Is the prince’s idea of ​​handling state affairs so naive?

It is easy to be a mediocre monarch, but it is not that simple to be an open and wise monarch. Governing the country is like cooking small fresh food. Cooking small fresh food sounds easy, but how many people can cook it well?

In addition, the saints often examined Li Chengqian, which made Li Chengqian feel uncomfortable every time he couldn't answer, the saint's calm teaching made him feel more uncomfortable than loudly scolding him.

At this time, Li Chengqian hated Kong Yingda to death. He believed that it was Kong Yingda and others who complained that he had fallen into this situation.

Today, I found a reason to pretend to be sick and rest. Li Chengqian was enjoying a satisfying finger massage when Changsun Chong asked for a meeting.

"No!" Li Chengqian immediately refused. He thought to himself that he was sick, how could he meet outsiders? Moreover, Changsun's purpose of coming here could be imagined with his heels.

My uncle is so smart and cunning, how could he be so stupid to give birth to a child?

He said in a hurry: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Changsun Chong is not only the legitimate son of Duke Zhao, but also the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince. He must meet him in terms of emotion and reason."

"What you said makes sense, it's worthy of my satisfaction." Li Chengqian thought for a while and asked his personal guard to bring the person in.

Changsun rushed into the back of the hall, saluted respectfully, and shouted: "Changsun Chong pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong and then said, "After my mother's lobbying, my father is ready to let you be the princess of Princess Changle, why is he still not kind-hearted?"

"Report to Your Highness, if the matter is not finalized, there will be variables. After all, the saint values ​​Fang Xuanling so much." Changsun Chong explained.

Li Chengqian snorted: "No matter how much you value, you will be a minister after all. You are different. Your father and mother understand your thoughts about Changle, so don't worry, your marriage with Changle will basically not be variable."

Changsun Chong turned his mind and quickly stood up and bowed: "I have to thank His Royal Highness the Prince for his support to make me the princess Changle's son-in-law. I am sincere to Changle, and the world can be seen. On the other hand, Fang Yiai was originally in love with Gaoyang, but now Changle is a complete villain. I feel it is not worth it to let Gaoyang marry Fang Yiai. And Lin Xiu, a concubine, can win the hearts of Yuchi Qingqing?"

"Hmm? What did you say?" Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and stared at Changsun Chong with wide eyes.

For a long time, Li Chengqian has been accumulating his own foundation in order to secure his current position in prison.

First of all, he is the crown prince, which is righteousness. Furthermore, Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji is his uncle, so he is very friendly to this cousin. At the same time, he made friends with Hou Junji and extended his hand to the generals.

But Li Chengqian felt that it was not enough, so he always wanted to marry Yuchi Qingqing so that he could tie Yuchi Gong to his ship. Although Li Jing was the god of war, Li Shimin trusted the most military generals Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong, because they were great heroes in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. As for wanting to marry Fang Ruoqing, it was Li Chengqian who wanted to win over Fang Xuanling, but he did not mention Fang Ruoqing to outsiders, but just hinted Lin Xiu. But he wanted to marry Yuchi Qingqing, but he got stuck because Yuchi Gong did not agree.

But in the entire Chang'an City, who doesn't know that the prince wants to marry Yuchi Qingqing? So this is the main reason why Yuchi Qingqing has never found her husband's family!

Now that Lin Xiu and Yuchi Qingqing are getting involved, wouldn’t they be cuckolding themselves?

Li Chengqian was naturally indignant.

Seeing Li Chengqian's attitude, Changsun Chong remained calm, but he was secretly happy, and at the same time he realized his father's teachings to him. Sure enough, personally taking revenge on the enemy is a inferior method, and knowing how to take advantage of others is the right method. This can cause the minimum loss and the enemy to suffer the most.

At this time, Li Chengqian asked, "Where did you hear it?"

Changsun Chong pretended to be harmless and explained: "Episode of Yuchi Baolin, he has called Lin Xiu the brother-in-law. It is probably not groundless to be called this."

"This bastard!" Li Chengqian immediately scolded.

Changsun Chong said again: "Your Highness calms down. Lin Xiu is a concubine. He has just arrived in Chang'an City. He doesn't know the situation here. I believe that after he understands the situation, he dare not approach Yuchi Qingqing."

Li Chengqian nodded, but was still worried, and said, "I will give you an errand. When you see him, I will remind him and tell him that Yuchi Qingqing already has a master of famous flowers. In addition, what he promised me last time should be fulfilled. This is his opportunity to express his loyalty. Don't miss the opportunity!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will tell Lin Xiu the original words!" Changsun Chong was curious about what the prince said, but he also knew the right thing and could not ask randomly.

But it doesn't matter. Just because of the message, Changsun Chong was confident that the relationship between the prince and Lin Xiu would be affected, and even made the prince hate Lin Xiu.

It is much better to borrow the prince’s hand to deal with Lin Xiu than to take action!

Next, Changsun Chong chatted with Li Chengqian for a while before leaving.

It became dark before I knew it.

In name, Le Tong from Taichang Temple, and because he was favored by the prince, he naturally could live in the Eastern Palace. But because he was favored, many eyes were staring at him. Once he lived in the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian's teachers would be impeached again, and the impeachment was very strong, which would have a very bad impact at that time. So Chengxin dared not live in the Eastern Palace and would leave the palace every day.

Anyway, he has waist cards to enter and exit the Eastern Palace, which is also very convenient.

Today, after it got dark, he waited until Li Chengqian had rested before leaving the East Palace. When he returned home in a carriage, he walked halfway and the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" I leaned against the soft couch and made a lazy sound.

He served Li Chengqian all day and was very tired even though he was satisfied. Fortunately, he was a man, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

Of course, there is only sweetness when there is bitterness. Because of Li Chengqian's favor, he bought several houses in Chang'an City at a young age. The money he has accumulated over the years is a huge amount. Whenever he shows his low-key brand when he goes to other places, even a fourth-rank official must be respectful.

And all this is something I never dared to think about before.

Sometimes I feel satisfied and wonder, when His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, will I have to operate at the right time and get a job? With His Highness the Crown Prince's generosity, I will be able to be a fourth-rank or above official position, and then continue to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. No, I will be a saint at that time, and maybe I can still be a marquis.

However, the satisfied inquiry did not receive a response from the coachman outside.

"Where is the person?" He moved his body with satisfaction and his voice increased by three points.

In order to protect his safety, Li Chengqian specially arranged four personal guards to protect him, so there should be guards outside the carriage. If something happens, the guards will also warn them, but now there is no sound, so I don’t think it is dangerous.

There is still no movement outside.

Shuixin was very angry and immediately got up to lift the curtain. The curtain had just been lifted open, and one hand reached in, grabbed Shuixin's collar directly, and then pulled him out.

In this way, Shuixin was like a chicken, and was taken out. Shuixin was so scared that he was speechless. Then he saw his guard lying on the ground.

"Hero, what are you going to do?" said terrified: "I am the prince's man, please give me some thin faces!"

The two men in black looked at each other. If they hadn't investigated in advance, they would have thought they had caught the wrong person.
Chapter completed!
