As soon as Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, Li Yuan's edict was issued, and Li Jiancheng was formally ordered to shut himself up and think about his past for a month. In addition, the eunuch who came to execute the sentence also arrived.
Outside the hall of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng lay on a long bench and was brutally beaten with ten army sticks. After the news came out, it had a great impact on the entire East Palace.
Wei Zheng came to the study in a hurry.
Today, Li Jiancheng is lying on the bed. Although he has been beaten ten times, but fortunately the executioner is merciful, Li Jiancheng only has a little pain in his buttocks, and he will be fine after two or three days of recuperation.
Seeing Li Jiancheng lying on the bed, Wei Zheng frowned suddenly with a puzzled look on his face. He really didn't want to understand what happened to cause Li Jiancheng to be punished.
After saluting, Wei Zheng sat down beside him and said, "Prince, what happened?"
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said: "It's Li Shentong, he betrayed the prince. Li Shentong said that he caused trouble for Du Qi's road construction, and I ordered and arranged it. Father was furious, ordered me to shut myself up and think about my mistakes, and even punished the ten army sticks."
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng was extremely angry, and gritted his teeth: "This damn Li Shentong, at the critical moment, he shirked the responsibility on the prince, saying that he was instructed by the prince. Where is the prince instigated, he was originally Participated in it. Now, it is said that I ordered it, and the responsibility is shifted to me."
Wei Zheng said: "Prince, the matter has come to this point, there is no use complaining. Right now, I can only think of a solution."
Li Jiancheng said to himself: "I promised my father that I will not attack Du Qi again. If I target Du Qi again, I will have to ask myself to resign from the position of prince. Although this is a bit of a joke, if Next time, my father finds out that we are targeting Du Qi, then my father will most likely abolish me."
After Wei Zheng heard it, he didn't feel worried, on the contrary, he was a little happy.
It is a good thing that Li Jiancheng does not make Du Qi an enemy. If Li Jiancheng really kept targeting Du Qi, Wei Zheng always felt that one day, Li Jiancheng might fall into Du Qi's hands.
Now that this has happened, Li Jiancheng and Du Qi have no more fights, which is an excellent thing.
Wei Zheng said in relief: "Your Highness, the matter has come to an end, so let's ignore Du Qi for the time being. We and Du Qi, the well water does not interfere with the river water. The crown prince was reprimanded by His Majesty, first act in a low-key manner, and we will talk about it after we get through this calamity."
Li Jiancheng said: "That's the only way."
When Wei Zheng was chatting with Li Jiancheng, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was Li Yuanji who followed.
Li Yuanji's expression was quite serious.
He and Li Jiancheng were in the same group. Li Jiancheng was suppressed, and his life was not easy.
Li Yuanji said: "Brother, what is going on? Why are you suddenly reprimanded by the emperor?"
Li Jiancheng said: "Naturally because of Du Qi's matter, Li Shentong arranged for someone to make trouble and was discovered by the emperor. When Li Shentong was interrogated by the father, he put all the responsibility on me, saying that I ordered it. Therefore, This is the result now."
Li Yuanji was quite helpless when he heard this.
It was because of Du Qi again.
Du Qi is simply the nemesis of the East Palace.
Li Yuanji sighed: "Brother, in my opinion, we can't afford to provoke Du Qi. Don't provoke Du Qi in the future, let him go. Now, let Du Qi be arrogant. After a hundred years from the father, the eldest brother will be crowned as the king." Emperor, at that time, you can deal with Du Qi any way you want."
Li Jiancheng said: "That's the only way."
Speaking of Du Qi, Li Jiancheng was full of sadness. Anyway, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but it is so difficult to deal with a little Du Qi, which makes Li Jiancheng quite helpless.
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said: "I still think that Li Shentong is extremely hateful, he really deserves to die. He obviously participated, and when the incident came to an end, he shirked all the responsibility on me. However, the father actually believed it, thinking that it was me. plan."
Wei Zheng comforted: "Prince, don't be like this! Although Li Shentong is hateful, Li Shentong has influence in the army after all, and he also has great prestige in the clan."
"Such a person cannot be lost."
"Once the Crown Prince vents his anger on Li Shentong, causing Li Shentong to fall to King Qin's side, it will be extremely unfavorable to us. So even if Li Shentong shirks responsibility, the Crown Prince cannot blame Li Shentong."
"On the contrary, I want to win over Li Shentong and comfort him, so that he can't have any grievances with Donggong."
Wei Zheng said: "This is the most important thing."
"What?"
When Li Jiancheng heard it, he was like a hedgehog with fried hair.
completely angry.
You know, it was all because of Li Shentong that he suffered such a huge humiliation this time. If Li Shentong didn't confess to him, and killed him as revenge for Du Qi, he wouldn't suffer.
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Wei Zheng, you have to repeat what you said. Even if I, Li Jiancheng, can secure the position of prince without his Li Shentong. I don't believe it. Without his Li Shentong, I can't do anything. He traps me Difficulty, such a person, once I ascend the throne, I must deal with him."
Wei Zheng's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuanji didn't say much, because he also thought that Li Shentong was too disappointing.
Wei Zheng remonstrated: "Prince, you must not be so willful."
"Willful?"
Li Jiancheng looked annoyed, and said: "I'm not being willful, it's because Li Shentong betrayed the prince. He can betray today, and he can betray in the future. Now that Li Shentong betrayed the East Palace, I still have to talk nicely to win him over. Absolutely not allowed. I will not allow such a thing to happen."
Hearing this, Wei Zheng sighed inwardly.
The importance of Li Shentong is also quite critical.
But now, Li Jiancheng is unwilling to win over.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath, and said again: "Prince, this is the court situation, and it is also politics. Li Shentong betrayed today, but it is also for self-protection. For the sake of the overall situation of the East Palace, I implore the prince to condescend to win over Li Shentong."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Li Jiancheng spoke again.
He was beaten and ordered to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. He was so angry that he was unwilling to condescend.
He will never let it go.
Wei Zheng couldn't persuade him, so he turned to Li Yuanji, hoping that Li Yuanji would come forward to persuade him.
Li Yuanji reminded: "Brother, don't be arrogant."
Li Jiancheng said: "Fourth, I'm not acting on my will. A person who can betray us today can betray our brother at any time. If he betrayed today, the prince has to win him over. Does it mean that he will betray the East Palace next time? Even if he stabbed Donggong a few times, the prince would have to win him over. People like Li Shentong cannot be won over."
Li Yuanji sighed when he heard the words.
He couldn't persuade.
Li Jiancheng already showed an impatient expression on his face, and said: "Okay, don't talk too much nonsense. The matter of Li Shentong will stop here, and there is no need to think about it. Now go all out and deal with the matter of the East Palace. You all go down , leave me alone."
"yes!"
Wei Zheng and Li Yuanji answered together.
Then he turned and left.
After leaving the study, Wei Zheng looked at Li Yuanji and asked, "His Royal Highness King Qi, Li Shentong, King of Huai'an County, has great influence in the army and clan. It is a pity that such a person is lost. "
Li Yuanji said: "Wei Xima, what do you mean?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
