Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 9 Everyone has his own ambitions
The four of them traveled together. With Li Zhen and three others by their side, there was no need for the other guards to follow them. Li Chengqian didn't know much about their fighting abilities, but he was sure that they had all inherited the true teachings from their father.

"Brother, please sit down first. Let's go find Fang Yizhi and Gao Wenmin."

In a side hall of Chongwenguan, Cheng Chumo pulled Li Zhen out.

Li Chengqian looked at the surrounding layout and felt a little emotional. Everything in this palace was so exquisite.

Both sides of the hall are covered with various poems and essays, all bound with plaques. It can be seen that the literary style of the Tang Dynasty has begun to show results and has gradually become a trend.

In troubled times, martial arts are valued; in prosperous times, literature is valued.

These poems have different styles, some are heroic and unrestrained, some are graceful and fresh, some are deep and solemn, and some are ethereal and elegant.

What is more noticeable than the poetic quality is the majestic and powerful handwriting. To a certain extent, the poetic quality cannot catch up with the writing skill, and it is obvious that it is the work of a master.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and a big hand suddenly landed heavily on the shoulder of a scholar. The scholar was caught off guard and stood up suddenly in shock.

He couldn't help but wonder who was so rude?

When he looked carefully, he found that the people coming were Li Zhen and Cheng Chumo.

He forced a smile on his face and said, "What brought the two princes here?"

Cheng Chumo grabbed Fang Yizhi's neck, dragged him out the door, and whispered, "Fang Yizhi, go out. Let's talk for a moment."

Li Zhen waved to another scholar in the corner and shouted, "Gao Wenmin, come here too."

All the scholars were bewildered, not knowing what was going on. Under the puzzled gazes of the students, Fang Yizhi and Gao Wenmin were pulled out of the room.

Fang Yizhi's face flushed red, and he secretly complained in his heart: "My two princes, if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. Why do you have to argue like this?"

He felt that it was inappropriate and disgraceful for him to be so close to another grown man.

Gao Wenmin quickly agreed, "Yes, my two princes, if you have anything to say, please tell us directly. As long as we can, we will do our best."

The Shedian and Chongwenguan have absolutely no connection at all, so why are these two people coming to the Wendian now?

"We need your help? Haha!" Cheng Chumo laughed loudly and said with a pursed mouth: "We are here to give you wealth, but I don't know whether you want this overwhelming wealth or not."

"Wealth?" Fang Yizhi frowned, obviously not believing it. These two guys only have such small brain capacity, how could they be rich?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he admires your strategies and that he will give you important tasks after he ascends the throne." Cheng Chumo stated his purpose directly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Fang Yizheng and Gao Wenmin looked at each other in surprise. They knew very well about the Crown Prince's rebellion because they had big brothers in their families. Even if they were banned, there were still some ways to pass on the news.

They don't even have enough time to draw a line between themselves and Crown Prince Li Chengqian, so how dare they advance at this time?

"You two princes are joking. We are just study companions. How can we catch the prince's eye?" Fang Yizheng said immediately. He didn't want to have anything to do with the prince now.

"That's what you intellectuals are like, you value your reputation." Li Zhen snorted coldly. He could tell what the two men meant.

"To tell you the truth, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned, and the Eastern Palace has been completely lifted. Otherwise, do you think we would appear here?"

Donggong Yecai was only released after Li Chengqian came back, so many people didn't know about it. "Your Highness the Crown Prince was wrongly accused, and now the real culprit has been found, and the world will be informed later." Li Zhen said.

"How could your father, who was so courageous back then, give birth to two spineless things like you?"

On the other side, Cheng Chumo started cursing.

"I think you two are just a pair of wimps! Your father was a hero of the Tang Dynasty. He fought with His Majesty in many battles and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. But now you two are like cowards. You don't even dare to stand up and make plans for the prince. You really brought shame to your father. Or do you have no ability at all?"

The more he cursed, the angrier he became, and finally he kicked Fang Yizheng directly on the thigh.

Fang Yiai and Gao Wenmin's faces turned red from being scolded, but they didn't dare to talk back, otherwise they would be kicked.

"Now those three old and disrespectful people of Zhang Xuansu have been deliberately making things difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you can solve them, you will be in the Crown Prince's eyes. Otherwise, just continue reading your crappy books."

Cheng Chumo glanced at the two of them, then left angrily with Li Zhen.

"This!" Fang Yizheng looked at the two people's receding backs, not knowing what to do. The man at home didn't want to bet his fortune here.

But now Crown Prince Li Chengqian has extended an olive branch. If they do not accept it, it means they are standing on the opposite side.

A lifetime of military service cannot compare to making greater contributions by standing on the right side.

"We are officials of the Eastern Palace, and we should relieve the prince's worries. If the ban is really lifted, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be wronged." Gao Wenmin said, his heart was as deep as the sea, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"If that's the case, then we must think of a plan, otherwise it won't be enough to make amends." Fang Yizheng frowned slightly, involuntarily, really involuntarily.

How could the two of them not know that Li Shimin intended to depose the crown prince? However, in the face of public opinion, Li Shimin never admitted that he wanted to depose the crown prince.

Forcing one's father, killing one's brother, and taking one's brother's wife can actually be expressed more obviously, by abolishing one's son, and then one will become a perfect person.

"Difficult!" Gao Wenmin shook his head. Their ranks were too low, so how could they fight against Zhang Xuansu and the others?

"It would be strange if it wasn't difficult. We have to plan it carefully." Fang Yizheng and Gao Wenmin were both extremely depressed. They were just forcing others to do something that was beyond their ability.

……

"It's so infuriating. It's their blessing that the prince likes them." Cheng Chumo shouted.

"Fourth brother, did they refuse?" Li Dejian asked.

"They didn't say no explicitly, but judging from their expressions, they don't want to have too much contact with the prince." Cheng Chumo snorted.

"Brother, you two boys don't know what's good for you. We will deal with them sooner or later. There are so many scholars in Chongwen Hall, we don't need one or two of them."

"Everyone has their own aspirations." Li Chengqian waved his hand. The two men did not come here because of the emperor's reputation. They only came to the Eastern Palace to serve as tutors under the pressure of Li Shimin's decree.

And, more importantly, the two of them represent the attitudes of Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian.

Those two were not optimistic about Li Chengqian, so their eldest son had to tread on thin ice.
