After seven years of fiefdom, Li Shimin asked me to return and become the crown prince.

"Li Kuan?"

Li Chengqian frowned when he saw Li Kuan coming in from the yamen gate, and his expression was cold.

He had beaten his people, but he didn't expect Li Kuan to dare to come here.

"" Your Highness, it was he who beat me!" Cheng Xin became even more excited when she saw Li Kuan.

Those eyes, more beautiful than a woman's, were full of resentment and fear.

Li Chengqian frowned and smiled, looked at Li Kuan and asked,"Second brother, did you beat my people?"

"Your people?" Li Kuan's smile froze for a moment, and he pointed at Cheng Xin and the others in astonishment;"Brother, you're not going to say these are your people, are you? I don't believe it!"

"Big brother, didn’t you see that he said in front of thousands of people in Shilipu that he was your close relative? Big brother, you are the current crown prince, how could I allow him to slander you? I could only shut his mouth and send him to the government office!"

"No matter what, your reputation is the most important, brother. If this news gets to know those Confucianists, it might be a bit difficult!"

""It seems that my second brother is doing this for my own good? Thank you!" Li Chengqian bit his tongue. He hated this man to the core, but he couldn't show it.

On the surface, Li Kuan was doing this for his own good. If he was really angry, it would be a loss of status.

If he attacked the county magistrate, it wouldn't matter. But if he really attacked Li Kuan and Li Shimin heard about it, he would most likely be punished or even have to face the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

If this happened, it would be a bargain for Li Tai.

"We are brothers, so it’s polite to thank you, but I still have to give you a piece of advice!" Li Kuan looked at Li Chengqian and continued,"You have to discipline these people. If you continue to indulge them like this, your reputation will be damaged sooner or later!"

Having said that, Li Kuan pointed his finger at Chengxin:"Especially this man, he actually said in public that he is your close friend. If this gets out, your reputation will be completely ruined!"

Li Chengqian's face changed several times in a few breaths.

In the end, he suppressed his anger and said word by word:"I will discipline them when I go back, and I will remember what my second brother did today!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left with the guards. Several eunuchs hurried forward to help Cheng Xin up and left the county government office.

""Brother, take care!" Li Kuan waved his hand, with a smile on his face.

He knew that Li Chengqian was angry with him, but it didn't matter. He would not be an emperor in the future. When he was exiled to Chongqing in Qianzhou, he could visit Li Chengqian and talk about what happened today.

Oh... boring, Lingnan is still better.

"I was scared to death!"

After Li Chengqian left, County Magistrate Wei Si Kao collapsed to the ground, his body soaked with cold sweat.

If he had been hit by the forty sticks today, it was unclear whether he could walk on the ground again.

"You are the magistrate of Chang'an County, Wei Si Kao?" Li Kuan also looked at Wei Si Kao with a harmless smile on his face.

But when Wei Si Kao saw this smile, his heart began to beat.

It was definitely not a good thing for Li Kuan to look at him like this!

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?" Wei Si Kao's voice was trembling as he spoke.

"You haven't given me an answer about Sun Bin. While I'm here, what are you going to do with Sun Bin?" Li Kuan was still as cheerful as ever when he spoke.

But!

Wei Si Kao's face was completely stiff.

Looking at Li Kuan with a bitter face, he immediately held Li Kuan's thigh and cried;"Your Highness, I have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of what happened just now. You can't do this to me again. If I offend Confucianism again, I will have no way to survive!"

Wei Si Kao cried with snot and tears.

"Don't be afraid. If you are demoted, the worst that can happen is that you go to Lingnan. Lingnan is in need of talents like you!" Li Kuan advised patiently and patted Wei Sikuo on the cheek.

Listening to Li Kuan's advice, Wei Sikuo felt very disappointed. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Go to Lingnan? Isn't that exile?

Exiling three thousand miles to Qianzhou is better than going to Lingnan.

Li Kuan hesitated and added,"You decide on this matter yourself, but you must give me an answer today, otherwise......I will write a memorial to accuse you tomorrow. I am afraid that those Confucians will not help you by then, and may even step on you. By then, you will even lose me as an ally, and you will have to be exiled a thousand miles away!"

"If you encounter robbers on the way to exile and get beaten.."

"Stop, stop, can't I just do what you say?" Wei Si Kao felt a chill down his spine as he listened, and interrupted Li Kuan's next words:"How does the prince intend to deal with Sun Bin?"

Li Kuan nodded in satisfaction:"Send him to exile three thousand miles to Lingnan!"

Wasn't Sun Bin high and mighty? He wanted to let Sun Bin see the prosperity of Lingnan, and then let this guy raise pigs.

"Ah? Isn't that a bit cruel?"Wei Si Kao asked tentatively.

Being exiled to Lingnan, isn't that sending him to Li Kuan's hands?

"Hmm?" Li Kuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Sikuo:"It is not too much to confiscate the family and destroy the whole family for slandering the prince!"

"....."Wei Si Kao knew that this time he couldn't end it peacefully, and he would most likely face siege from Confucianists in the future.

Since he had chosen to stand on Li Kuan's side, he would grit his teeth and agree.

If it really didn't work out, he would follow Li Kuan back to Lingnan, and whoever wanted to be the magistrate of Chang'an could be the magistrate, he didn't want to be one anyway.

It was too damn humiliating to be a county magistrate.

Sun Bin, I'm sorry, I'd rather die than let my friend die, you go to Lingnan first, and the Japanese official will go there in a few days.

"Good, there is a future!"

Ganlu Palace!

"This is nonsense. They have brought shame to Chang'an City. For an arrogant eunuch, they even led guards to block the Chang'an government office. This is outrageous, outrageous!"

When Li Shimin heard the news, he threw all the teacups and inkstones in his hand to the ground.

He almost overturned the table.

Li Chengqian disappointed him so much.

He was not even half as good as Li Kuan.

If the Tang Dynasty was handed over to him, it would probably perish in a short time.

It was because he had spoiled this son too much in these years, which made him lose his sense of proportion when encountering things.

Look at Li Kuan, he went to Lingnan since he was a child and built Lingnan so well.

Every family has surplus food and smiles on their faces.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The prince must have been blinded by anger just now, which is why he did something irrational!" Liu Renyuan carefully excused Li Chengqian.

"Lost his mind? When has he not lost his mind?"Li Shimin slammed the table and said,"Go and tell the prince to stay indoors for a month and not go out. Let him think about what he should do as the prince!"

This month was the last chance for Li Chengqian.

The order did not mention anything satisfactory, but if he did not give an answer that satisfied Li Shimin within this month, Li Chengqian's position as the prince would be completely dead in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Your Majesty!"Liu Renyuan wanted to say something, but seeing Li Shimin's angry face, he nodded and went to the East Palace to announce the decree. Đạo Vô Tâm
