Chapter 871 The Crown Prince Who Protects His Faults
"..."
It must be said that Li Yuan's words today were beyond the King of Chu's understanding. So much so that the old man's mind was now full of "how can human hearts be so dirty... ahem... so thorough".
After listening to his father's words, Emperor Li II pursed his lips, then looked at his son who was completely stunned. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but after weighing the pros and cons, he closed his mouth again.
"Kuan'er," Li Yuan saw his son's reaction. He didn't think it was strange. He just turned around and looked at his grandson: "What do you think?"
"Well... Imperial grandfather..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu actually knew that this was a very serious question, but... now that his emotions had stabilized, Prince Chu still thought of someone who was not so serious: "Back then... that kick I gave... could it be considered as saving Linghu Defen?"
"Huh?" When His Royal Highness Prince Chu said this, not only did the Emperor Retired not react for a while, but even His Majesty Li II was also stunned...
This little bastard... has a unique perspective on things...
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Emperor Li II might have actually directly mocked the other party by saying "You have such a big heart".
When Emperor Li Yuan heard his grandson mention Linghu Defen, he was stunned at first, then felt helpless and smiled. Finally, he walked up to his grandson and was about to raise his hand to pat his head as usual, only to find that the brat was now taller than him.
So the old man stretched out his hand and pinched his grandson's cheek, then said with a sigh: "Kuan'er... Grandfather said these things today... First, I want to remind your father, so that he won't think that his ministers are the only ones who are truly loyal all day long. Secondly... Grandfather wants to tell you that the position of emperor is majestic and glorious, but behind the scenes... it's dirty..."

In the imperial study, the retired emperor taught his children and grandchildren with all his heart.
Outside the Imperial Study...
"Uncle, Prime Minister Fang." After seeing Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling coming out, Crown Prince Li Chengqian first greeted the two of them. Then, just as he was about to continue speaking, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from beside him.
"Changsun Wuji, I should have #%&#%%@ed you!" - With an opening remark in the "Elegant Tang Language" with strong personal emotions, Duke Qiao Chai Shao now really wanted to have some "heart-to-heart" interaction with Duke Zhao.
Fortunately, the eunuch Yunchang, who had already sensed the danger in advance, suddenly flashed in front of Chai Shao and used a hand to remove the force from his hand. Then he leaned down and hugged the other's waist: "My Lord, please don't be impulsive!" - Yunchang was able to become Hong San's apprentice not only because of his talent in martial arts: "Right now, the emperor is in the imperial study to help His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu solve a problem. If you make a fuss now, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be helping the thief?!"
Although his wife had passed away for many years, Chai Shao still stopped silently after hearing the word "Prince Consort" from the other party.
"Changsun Wuji," Chai Shao looked at Changsun Wuji, who was also extremely angry at this moment, and suddenly burst into a disdainful sneer: "Humph... Do you think that you can get what you want after all your tricks? I tell you, if Kuan'er really does something bad, the New Year's Day next year will be the death anniversary of Changsun Wuji's entire family! If I leave you a descendant, Changsun Wuji, I will be yours to raise!"
Once Chai Shao said these cruel words, it meant that he was really going to fight to the death with Changsun Wuji!
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Sun Wuji's face turned cold when he heard this: "Chai Shao, are you worthy of that?!"
"Why is my uncle not worthy?" - Changsun Wuji thought he could get back his dignity, but it was completely shattered by Li Chengqian's sudden words!
"Cheng Qian...you..." Changsun Wuji didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would show his fangs at this moment.
"It's just a matter of fact." Li Chengqian glanced at Zhangsun Wuji calmly, then turned his gaze to Yuwen Shiji who was trying to reduce his presence: "The Lord of Xincheng County seems to be very nervous? Lord Chu, why is that?"
"..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew how to put pressure on people. After he asked this, neither of the two parties dared to speak.
"Your Highness..." Fang Xuanling knew that there were some things he couldn't stay out of, so he thought about it and simply gave a solution to the problem: "In fact, the reason why His Majesty summoned His Highness the Prince of Chu to the Imperial Study today is because the Goguryeo envoys a few days ago-"
"I already know about the matter, and I have already found out the truth. Brother Kuan has done nothing wrong." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was actually dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling: the matter obviously had nothing to do with Brother Kuan, and you had already acquiesced to the fate of the Goguryeo envoy, but when father was going to use this matter to pressure Brother Kuan, even though you knew you couldn't stop him, someone should have stood up and said something fair, right?
It is because no one spoke up for justice that we have the situation today!
"Your Highness, do you have evidence?" At this time, Duke Zhao's mentality had completely changed. Since his nephew was unreliable, he could only rely on His Majesty: "In such a short time... where did you get the evidence?"
"I have already sent out the troops led by Crown Prince Liu to surround the Honglu Temple. By now, Park Yun should have brought his men to find the members of the Goguryeo delegation and started recording their confessions." - The Crown Prince, who used to be indecisive in his words and deeds, seemed to have disappeared after breaking his leg.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what are you planning to do? Is it just a vain attempt?" Changsun Wuji did not expect that his eldest nephew is so vigorous now. Of course, compared with the one in the imperial study, this one is still far inferior, but it is also enough to make people feel scared.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" The Crown Prince laughed instead of getting angry. "You are allowed to speculate about Brother Kuan, but I am not allowed to use some tricks to get evidence as soon as possible to clear Brother Kuan's name? What? Are you all waiting here for my brother to rebel today?!" After saying this, the Crown Prince suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and slowly walked towards Zhangsun Wuji...
