Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Empress Changsun urged.

Chapter 145: Today's affairs, no one is allowed to reveal, offenders, beheaded

Only then did Li Chengqian understand that the empress mother was saving herself.

He didn't dare to wipe the blood off his face, and hurriedly said: "Father, my son came to plead guilty!"

"Apologize, I think you are here to seek death!"

Li Er raised his brows upside down, and the veins in his hand holding the sword were all exposed.

It can be seen how angry he is at this moment!

The dignified prince, one of the most honorable people in the world.

His every move represents the face of the royal family, and likewise, it is also the dignity of this country.

People like Li Er who are so self-confident can't tolerate it!

"Guanyin maidservant, you are not allowed to intercede for this rebellious son, quickly hide aside, be careful that I hurt you!"

Empress Changsun could not care so much, not only did not get out of the way, but hugged Li Chengqian tightly in her arms.

At this time, an old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Since Chengqian is here to plead guilty, why not let him talk about it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Li Er also seemed to be taken aback, hurriedly put away Yu Jian, turned around and saluted.

"Father"

The person here is none other than the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan!

Leaning on a cane, Li Yuan slowly walked up to Li Chengqian.

He patted the shackles on Li Chengqian's body, and said, "Boy, you have caused a disaster this time!"

Li Chengqian said aggrievedly: "Grandfather!"

When Li Yuan changed the subject, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"However, Grandpa Huang knows that you are still a child who understands righteousness. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Grandpa Huang will decide everything for you!"

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, knowing in his heart that this most difficult hurdle had passed.

The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything more.

In the whole world, only Li Yuan can make him helpless.

Li Chengqian quickly took out a memorial, turned his head and handed it to Wynn.

"Grandfather, father, queen mother, and son-in-law are indeed here to plead guilty, but it's not because son-in-law made any mistakes, but because of Hou Junji!"

Seeing Li Er's inquisitive expression, Li Chengqian said while the iron was hot: "After multiple investigations by Erchen and Brother Liu, it is enough to conclude that Hou Junji is suspected of rebellion!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar!

Even the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard who guarded around gasped.

Hou Junji rebelled?

Li Er snatched the memorial from Wynn's hand, unfolded it, and changed color in astonishment!

"Do you have evidence?"

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "In the past few days, Brother Liu and his ministers have not only visited the Youwei camp, but also sent guards from the Eastern Palace to investigate the Hou's house. No matter the evidence is incomparable!"

Li Eryue looked more and more frightened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

At first, he just suspected that Hou Junji's secret actions were at best trying to win over some followers and make his power more stable.

This kind of thing, more or less, all the military officials in North Korea and Chinese will do it.

But he never expected that Hou Junji would actually have the heart to rebel!

Reminiscent of Hou Junji's deliberate efforts to create gang power in Chang'an City in the past few years, Li Er is almost certain that what Li Chengqian said is correct.

Because, on the memorial, there is not only a list of Hou Junji's party members, but also the testimony of several of his lieutenants!

Li Yuan's face was solemn, and he wanted to read the memorial, but he also knew that with his current status, the more he interfered, the worse things would become.

He said in a deep voice, "Chengqian, what crime are you asking for?"

Li Chengqian knocked his head on the ground.

"Qi reports to the emperor's grandfather, father, mother, and sons and ministers who know very well that rebellion is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. It is a heinous crime. In the year of Germany, it has already been settled!"

"Therefore, I have concealed the truth from my father, and secretly took the Hou family to live in the East Palace temporarily. I hope that my father will forgive the crime of implicating the Hou family. I am willing to bear all the responsibilities!"

These words were spoken loudly and with awe-inspiring righteousness.

But in fact, Li Chengqian's palms were full of sweat.

Rebellion is the biggest crime in the world. From ancient times to the present, there has been no one who has been safe and sound after rebellion.

The extermination of the nine clans is also a matter of certainty.

However, in order to save Hou's life, he had only one way.

At the beginning Liu Bai said very clearly that as long as he bears the responsibility for the crime, the Hou family will definitely survive.

Although Li Chengqian didn't know why Liu Bai was so confident, he still firmly believed that what Brother Liu said was definitely right.

After he finished speaking, there was no movement for a while.

In front of the gate of Taiji Palace, where thousands of people gathered, the silence was terrifying!

Since Li Er finished reading the memorial, his expression changed several times.

Finally, he waved his hand with a complicated face and said, "Stand up."

Li Chengqian stood up obediently.

"How many people have read this memorial?"

"The memorial was written by Erchen himself, and only brother Liu corrected a few words."

Li Er nodded and said to Huai En: "No one is allowed to reveal what happened today, and those who violate it will be executed!"

He faced Li Yuan again, bowed and said: "Father, please let my son stay alone with Cheng Qian for a while."

Although Li Yuan always held a grudge against Li Er in his heart, he knew better that rebellion was no small matter.

He could still tell the difference between the light and the heavy.

"Chengqian, listen to your father carefully."

He gave Li Chengqian a few more instructions, and left on crutches.

In a few words, only Li Er and Li Chengqian were left in front of the gate of Tai Chi Hall, and even Wynn left.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was still wearing shackles, Li Er scolded with a smile: "Everyone is gone, why are you pretending?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, he gently took off the shackles, and asked cautiously: "Father, are you not angry anymore?"

There was a trace of warmth in Li Er's eyes.

"You like the girl of the Hou family very much?"

Li Chengqian replied honestly: "I grew up with the Hou family since I was a child. When I was in the Qin Palace, she stood up for my son many times, so as not to be bullied by several emperor uncles."

Li Er nodded, and patted the memorial into Li Chengqian's arms.

"The evidence you have found is indeed sufficient, but next time, don't do such a sensational thing again. Father is not young, so I can't help being scared a few times."

He patted the top of Li Chengqian's head again, the look of relief on his face flashed, and he turned around and left.

Leaving Li Chengqian alone, his face full of bewilderment

Chapter 146: Li Tai's chance has come?Du Chuke

As soon as the prince entered the palace, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no more news came out.

The common people in Chang'an City talked a lot, and they all felt that this time the prince was in danger.

If he was really wronged, there was no need to look for Li Er, the big men in the court would solve it for him.

The only explanation is that the prince committed a heinous crime and knew that he could not hide it from His Majesty the Emperor, so he went to plead guilty.

Public opinion is like this, the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes.

In the afternoon, there were even rumors that the prince's rebellion was exposed!

In the south of Chang'an City, Yue Wang Mansion!

As Li Er's most beloved prince, Li Tai had his own mansion at a young age.

It stands to reason that the princes and grandchildren will only be released after reaching the crown, and they have been in the harem before, raised by their respective mothers, stepmothers and concubines.

But Li Tai, as the governor of Yangzhou and Yuezhou, had no less than two hundred for his followers and officials.

Li Er specially gave him a Yue Palace, which is not much smaller than the East Palace.

After learning the news of the prince's "pleading guilty", Li Tai keenly realized that his chance had come!

"This is the best opportunity for Your Highness. The minister has already found out that when the crown prince entered the palace, His Majesty was furious and even drew his imperial sword!"

"Maybe the crown prince will be convicted because of this. In the next few days, His Highness must perform well in front of His Majesty!"

"I have already collected the prince's inappropriate words and deeds in recent years. Your Highness only needs to tell a few censors. Of course, there will be a censor to join the prince!"

The subordinates talked in a hurry.

Du Chuke, who was the governor of Yue Wangfu at that time, didn't say a word.

If you want to say that Li Tai trusts the most, Wang Gui is the first.

It's a pity that Wang Gui was imprisoned in the sky prison because his son-in-law tried to assassinate the prince, and he still doesn't know his life or death.

The second trusted one is Changshi Du Chuke.

"Master Du?"

Li Tai yelled several times in a row, and Du Chuke suddenly became alert.

"I'm so rude!"

Li Tai shook his head and said, "What advice does Master Du have?"

Du Chuke frowned, and said: "I'm thinking, His Royal Highness, why did you enter the palace with a pair of shackles?"

Li Tai said nonchalantly: "No matter what his purpose is, in short, this time he is doomed!"

Du Chuke still frowned, but didn't say anything more.

He was thinking about the problem, and he didn't listen to what the people were saying.

He didn't speak again until all the subordinates had left and only he and Li Tai were left.

"Wei Chen vaguely feels that this matter is far from being as simple as it seems. Your Highness should think twice before acting, and don't conflict with His Highness the Crown Prince at will!"

Li Tai was slightly dissatisfied upon hearing this.

He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Originally, he was still a little patient, but since Wang Gui was defeated by Liu Bai, his heart became much more urgent.

If we wait any longer, is it possible that we have to wait for Liu Bai to enter the court?

At that time, I am afraid that he will not be Li Chengqian's opponent.

We must seize this opportunity, secretly contact the ministers who support him, and pull Li Chengqian down in one fell swoop!

"Master Du is worrying too much. This king has already thought clearly. Moreover, when the time comes to ask Yu Shitai to come forward, this king will not say a word!"

Seeing Li Tai's resolute attitude, Du Chuke couldn't continue to dissuade him, so he had to give up.

However, after he left the Yue Palace, he went directly to Du Ruhui's home.

Du Chuke is Du Ruhui's biological younger brother.

He didn't need to report, he went directly to Du Ruhui's study in the backyard.
