Chapter 91 If you don't give me face, I'll help you save face

The house was extremely quiet.

Li Chengping thought that Emperor Qing would be furious, but he was not angry at all. He even called Li Chengping to his side with a smile.

"Young men should have lofty ambitions and ride on fine horses to conquer vast plains!"

"Third brother, I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions. How about I make Dingzhou your fiefdom? The capital is too small for him."

Emperor Qing laughed, his face full of kindness.

Lao Deng, you are pointing at me again!

Li Chengping cursed in his heart, took a deep breath, and knelt on the ground.

"Father, I was too reckless tonight. It's all my fault. I beg you to punish me!"

Emperor Qing was somewhat surprised by the quick way of admitting his mistake.

Of course he knew what happened in the palace. He thought Li Chengping would argue with reason, or even drag Li Yunrui into muddying the waters.

But he never expected that Li Chengping would admit his mistake so positively, which made his prepared remarks useless for a while.

"Forget it. The main responsibility for this matter is not yours. It was Li Yunrui who did the wrong thing. It's just that it's shameful for you to take in Shen Zhong's sister."

"However, considering your contribution to the Northern Qi, I will not punish you. Tomorrow you will take her to the Kyoto Prefecture to register."

"I will not punish you for this matter, and you must not do it again!"

Emperor Qing gave his explanation with a stern face.

After all, Li Chengping has a good attitude, so it's hard to punish him.

"Thank you, Father."

"Get up, the ground is cold."

When Li Chengping got up, the hall fell silent again.

"Third brother, I plan to select a team to go north to search for miracles. Are you interested in leading the team?"

"Thank you, Father. I don't think I am capable enough to lead the team, so it would be better to leave this matter to a capable minister!"

"Forget it. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. It's getting late, so go back and rest."

"My son, please retire."

Li Chengping bowed, then turned and left.

Emperor Qing stared silently at the bronze mirror at the end of the bed. He did not sit up from the bed until Li Chengping's figure disappeared.

"Send the prince to see me!"

"Old slave understands!"

The eunuch waiting outside the hall responded and waved his hand to call over a young eunuch.

"Go to the East Palace immediately and pass on the order to have the Crown Prince come here immediately!"

The imperial edict was conveyed very quickly. Not long after, Li Chengqian hurried to the Yangxin Palace, ignored Eunuch Hou, and rushed in.

"My son, please see your father!"

Seeing Li Chengqian coming in and kneeling down, disappointment flashed across Emperor Qing's eyes, but soon he returned to normal.

"Do you know why I called you here so late?"

Li Chengqian vaguely guessed something, but still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I don't know."

As he spoke, he lowered his head deeply, afraid that Emperor Qing would see the panic in his eyes.

How could such a guilty action escape the eyes of Emperor Qing? He saw through Li Chengqian's disguise at a glance.

"You don't know or you don't dare to admit it?" Emperor Qing snorted coldly.

A faint imperial majesty emanated from his body, and Li Chengqian felt the pressure on his back as heavy as a thousand pounds, and buried his head in the ground.

Even so, he was unwilling to explain.

"Good good!"

"Li Chengqian, you are indeed great. I really underestimated you!"

"Pass on my decree. The Crown Prince has failed to behave properly in front of the Emperor. He will be confined to the Eastern Palace for half a month, starting immediately!"

Emperor Qing's angry roar came from the Yangxin Palace and echoed in the quiet palace.

Everyone around was terrified.

Li Chengqian finally started to panic at this moment and raised his head hurriedly.

"Father, I have something to say. Today's incident is not my fault, it's all Li Chengping's fault." "He broke into Guangxin Palace overnight, wantonly killed palace maids, and even openly provoked the princess. I went there just to support my aunt, and I didn't do anything wrong!"

Emperor Qing's eyes became increasingly disappointed, and he waved his hands impatiently.

"Okay, I don't want to know, and I don't want to hear, just go away."

"Father..."

"Someone, send the prince back!"

Emperor Qing roared.

Eunuch Hou came in with two guards and smiled at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, it's getting late. You should go back."

"I won't go back. I did nothing wrong in this matter. Father, why do you want to confine me? Why?!"

Li Chengqian got hot-headed and stubborn, and he clamored for an explanation.

Emperor Qing's expression became increasingly ugly, and he was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

Eunuch Hou realized something was wrong and quickly glanced at the guard.

The two men held Li Chengqian's arms and lifted him up, then sent him away.

Eunuch Hou left quietly, and did not forget to close the door before leaving.

The hall fell into silence.

The anger in Emperor Qing's heart gradually subsided. Thinking back to Li Chengqian's loss of composure, he sighed heavily.

"Is he really a qualified prince?"

For the first time, Emperor Qing doubted his decision.

After seeing Li Chengping's performance, he was very disappointed with Li Chengqian.

As a prince, he only thinks of escaping when encountering problems. This is not what a wise ruler does at all.

Emperor Qing couldn't sleep that night.

……

The moonlight fills the earth.

Li Chengping came out of the palace and walked alone on the street. Looking at the empty street, a smile appeared on his lips.

"I've finally passed this hurdle!" Li Chengping murmured to himself.

Guessing Li Yunrui's purpose, he rushed to the palace without stopping. Fortunately, he rescued Shen Wan'er, otherwise he would be disgraced when he went to court tomorrow.

This woman Li Yunrui is a lunatic and can do anything.

There was also the conversation with Emperor Qing tonight. Although it was just a few short sentences, Li Chengping understood that he had walked on the brink of death countless times.

The so-called fiefdom was just an excuse, the purpose was to test whether he had ambitions.

He had already violated a big taboo by breaking into the palace tonight, and a suspicious person like Emperor Qing would inevitably have wild thoughts.

Li Chengping knew all this very well, so without waiting for Emperor Qing to ask, he knelt down and admitted his mistake.

He knew in his heart that what Emperor Qing wanted was just an attitude, a good attitude of admitting mistakes proactively.

What a king cares most about is face.

If you give the other person enough face, everything will be fine. If you don't give them face, they will save your face.

Now that Wei Zhuang is not around, he does not have the ability to compete with Emperor Qing.

It's not shameful to admit your mistakes.

As for going north to search for miracles, Li Chengping was indeed tempted at first.

There are many things in the temple that transcend time. Taking out a few of them at random is enough to influence the whole world.

He changed his mind and calmed down.

Emperor Qing has been pursuing miracles for a long time. If he finds the temple this time, given how ruthless Emperor Qing is, no one will survive.

"Damn it, every time I see this old Deng I feel nervous. Sooner or later I will kill him!"

Li Chengping cursed inwardly, then calmed down and walked into the palace.

the next day.

The news of the crown prince being under house arrest spread throughout the capital. Upon hearing the news, Li Chengping had a strange look on his face.

It seemed that Li Chengqian did not participate in what happened last night, he just showed up.

But what does that guy's bad luck have to do with him?
