Chapter 79: [Politics is like acting]
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with blood on his body, looked at him firmly for a while before opening his mouth: "Is Chengqian safe?"
"It's OK."
Li Shimin felt that Li Chengqian spoke differently from his usual way of speaking, so he turned to the bearded man and asked, "Yifeng, have you found an assassin?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, the assassin did not leave any living mouths. The Qianniu Guards on the left and right are searching the whereabouts of the escaped assassin in the city!" said the bearded man.
Li Chengqian interrupted, "Father, when I was fighting with an assassin in the carriage, I asked if he was Yuwen Fu's accomplice. The assassin said in surprise, how do you know? I think this can be a clue."
The bearded man was stunned. He didn't hear this beforehand and looked at Lao Li with some embarrassment.
Old Li waved his hand to the bearded man, then asked Li Chengqian, and said, "If it were Yuwen Fu, what would you do?"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill him!"
When Old Li heard this, a glimmer of light suddenly burst out from his eyes. It was a kind of comforting look and said, "This is like me!"
This made Li Chengqian, whose mind was full of revenge, puzzled. He looked at Lao Li, and Lao Li drove the people to say, "You are tired too, go down and rest. Your mother doesn't know about this, so beware of your mother."
Another strange saying means don’t let the queen know, but how do you say it is defense?
Li Chengqian was puzzled for a moment. When he walked out of the Ganlu Palace, he turned around and saw Lao Li picking up the barrier knife on the dragon couch and slowly putting the blade in. There was a joyful smile on his face!
If a person is smiling with a knife, it will give people a terrifying and sinister smile, but Lao Li is not that feeling at this time. Li Chengqian doesn't understand what is going on, but it is clear that it is a bright smile.
After leaving the Ganlu Hall, a familiar carriage was waiting for Li Chengqian. The eunuch above was from the East Palace. When they saw Li Chengqian, they hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over.
Li Chengqian looked at them strangely. After getting into a wheelchair, the eunuch said, "It was the Crown Princess who asked the young men to drive the carriage here to wait for His Highness to return to the East Palace!"
Li Chengqian felt warm again.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the west gate of the East Palace, Tongxun Gate stopped. Li Chengqian looked at him and Su Mi and Xiao Chen were both next to Tongxun Gate, looking at Li Chengqian excitedly with tears in his eyes.
Li Chengqian asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here?"
Neither of the two women in tears could answer.
Li Chengqian reached out to pull them into the carriage, and then hugged Su Mi tightly. After the stimulation of death, only the closest relatives could give Li Chengqian the comfort he wanted!
Su Mi let Li Chengqian hold her, and her whole body was about to rub into his chest. At this time, she forgot that there was Xiao Chen next to her and forgot that she was shy!
When he arrived at the gate of Lizheng Hall, the carriage stopped. Before Su Mi could come back to her senses, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Do you want to bathe with me?"
"Hmm?" Su Mi was stunned.
"Look..." Li Chengqian pushed her away gently.
Su Mi looked down and saw that her body was stained with blood from Li Chengqian's body, and exclaimed: "Ah..."
"Haha..." Li Chengqian comforted, "It's okay, just wash it. Why weren't you afraid just now?"
Su Mi peeked at Xiao Chen who was smirking beside her with the corner of her eyes, and lowered her head and went shyly.
After getting off the carriage, Li Chengqian and Su Mi went to the bathroom to take a shower. After washing away the blood on their bodies, Li Chengqian returned to Li Zheng Hall and lay on the bed, looking at the flames of the lights beating beside the bed without any focus. After a while, Su Mi washed and came back. Li Chengqian hugged her by her side and stroking her skin as slippery as mutton fat, but she just wanted to feel the warmth of her skin to him, and there was no urge to other nights at all.
At some point, both of them fell asleep.
The next day, Li Chengqian woke up a few minutes earlier than Su Mi.
After everything was ready, Li Chengqian went out to court. When he saw a few pots of blooming flowers in the hall, he had no intention of picking them.
When we arrived at Tai Chi Hall, the atmosphere today was as heavy and strange as Li Chengqian's mood.
The ministers were careful that Cheng Yasha, a slag, did not dare to mess with Li Chengqian today.
Last night, the entire Chang'an was running around and searching for assassins. These ministers knew or guessed what happened. For these ministers who were mixed in the political center, they had seen a strong wind blowing from the political center of the Tang Dynasty. It was not what they could imagine if this strong wind would blow and who would accidentally blow, so they had to be careful.
The bells of the bell tower rang, and Lao Li walked in with a slight storm.
The first thing he did when he went to court was that he told the story last night. The first person to be punished was Cheng Yasha, who recommended Yuwen Fu to enter the palace. He was dismissed and removed from the title of Duke Lu. Before the Yuwen Fu case was found, no one in the Cheng family was allowed to leave the palace. That is to say, his whole family was under house arrest, including the eldest son of the Cheng family who went to find a chicken together last night.
The second person who was punished was He Taiyi Ling, who was dismissed from the position of Taiyi Ling and imprisoned. The position of Taiyi Ling was pointed out by Lao Li to Lao Sun, and Sun Simiao, who Li Chengqian found.
The third person who was punished was Hou Junji, the Minister of War. As the Minister of National Defense, he actually caused so many assassins to appear in the capital, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
The fourth person who was punished was related to Hou Junji. Helan Chushi, whose official position was Qianniu, the East Palace, and the left guard of the East Palace, was a leader of the Eastern Palace armed system. Lao Li blamed him for not protecting the prince. He was not by the prince's side when he was in danger, and was dismissed!
Then many officials were dismissed, some of which sounded normal, and some sounded ridiculous. For example, two people with the surname Yuwen in the court were dismissed inexplicably.
Listening to Lao Li's big moves, Li Chengqian felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he could feel the feeling of being cared for by Lao Li.
Li Xiaogong next to Li Chengqian pushed Li Chengqian for a moment. He looked at this uncle strangely. Uncle nodded, but Li Chengqian still didn't understand.
Li Xiaogong whispered in a low voice: "Please mercy to Cheng Zhijie and the others, and then thank you!"
Li Chengqian still didn't understand the deep meaning here, so he looked up carefully at Lao Li, very majestic, but his eyes looked here from time to time, with a deep look. Although he still didn't understand, he also knew that Lao Li wanted him to come and take on the show.
He also remembered a sentence he had heard in his previous life, and politics was like acting.
It seems that Lao Li wants to be his supporting role! Li Chengqian thought about the two keywords "pleading for mercy, thanking" in what Li Xiaogong said to him, stood up and said, "Father..."
