Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 10: Saving the Country Through Curves [New Book, Please Collect]

In fact, Changsun Wuji had noticed Li Chengqian a long time ago. The reason why he came out now was because he was becoming more and more confused about his nephew.

In the past, Li Chengqian listened to him very much, and he was also the eldest son of his sister, Empress Changsun. He also knew Empress Changsun's expectations for this eldest son, so he was determined to help Li Chengqian become the crown prince as soon as possible and pave the way for the Changsun family.

But after what happened yesterday, to be honest, he was actually quite disappointed.

Although what Li Chengqian said made him look at him with admiration, especially the three questions, made him feel that Li Chengqian was the most suitable candidate for the crown prince.

As a result, Li Chengqian requested to be deposed as soon as he was appointed as the crown prince, which really made him angry.

But no matter how angry he is, he would never reach out and hit someone who smiles at him.

Li Chengqian came up to Changsun Wuji with a smile on his face, picked up the food box in his hand and said, "This is the water chestnut cake that my mother just made. She asked me to bring it to my uncle to try."

As the saying goes, everyone has a gossipy heart.

Not only had Changsun Wuji noticed Li Chengqian a long time ago, but other ministers had also noticed him and were now slowing down their pace and listening attentively.

Why is the shortest crown prince in history back? Why didn't Empress Changsun give His Majesty the water chestnut cake she made? Did Empress Changsun and His Majesty have a conflict?
That shouldn't be the case. Empress Changsun and Your Majesty were deeply in love, and I haven't heard of any conflicts! Could it be about the crown prince appointment? It seems the crown prince appointment process isn't over yet. Who will be appointed this time? No matter who is appointed, it can't be the shortest crown prince in history. If you don't believe me, I'll eat this tablet!
As if sensing the gossip surrounding them, Changsun Wuji's face turned serious and he scolded, "Nonsense! This is the imperial court, why are you sending us food?"

And you are not smart at all. His Majesty is still in there. How do you want me to eat?
Thinking that his sister must have something to tell him, she had chosen this method and asked Li Chengqian to pass on the message. Changsun Wuji changed the subject and reminded him, "His Majesty has already ordered that you are not allowed to cause trouble in Xiande Hall. Behave yourself from now on. Do you understand?"

"I understand, uncle," Li Chengqian muttered, thinking that Emperor Li II's desire for revenge was indeed very strong.

Changsun Wuji glanced at him and saw that he was still honest, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, talk to your uncle outside!"

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian nodded and whispered to Yunduan, "Just pretend I've never been here!"

Cloud: "."

"Tell me, why did your mother ask you to come to me?"

Arriving at the pavilion outside Xiande Hall, Changsun Wuji asked directly and to the point.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It wasn't my mother who asked me to come look for my uncle, I came looking for him on my own."

"Ok?"

This time it was Changsun Wuji's turn to be stunned: "Then what's going on with this breakfast?"

"There were so many people at Qingque and I's breakfast, so we had to find a reason!"

"You boy!"

Changsun Wuji raised his finger and pointed at Li Chengqian, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He really didn't know why he had changed his personality. He was not so cunning before.

However, he was also very curious about what Li Chengqian wanted to talk to him about, so he said with a straight face: "If you are here to admit your mistakes, then there is no need. It was your own choice. Uncle will not blame you. Take care of yourself in the future."

"From what my uncle said, does it seem like you are going to give up on me?" Li Chengqian asked with blinking eyes.

Changsun Wuji was surprised. He had indeed thought about giving up Li Chengqian, but it was just a thought because he didn't have a suitable candidate yet.

While Li Tai was a good candidate, he was completely focused on pleasing the Second Emperor, Li Er, and rarely showed any affection towards his uncle. Furthermore, Li Tai's teachers also held considerable influence, so joining them would only be icing on the cake, not a lifeline, and would be of little significance to the Changsun family.

But how did Li Chengqian notice this? Could it be that this guy has really become intelligent?

After a brief silence, Changsun Wuji calmly said, "Cheng Qian, there are some things that are beyond the control of your uncle!"

"I know, but I still want to ask my uncle to give me a chance!"

"How can I give you a chance?" "I"

Li Chengqian opened his mouth, intending to say, "I still want to be the crown prince," but then he thought, "I've only been deposed for a day, and I'm already thinking about returning to the throne. Isn't that a joke?" So he changed his words decisively: "I want to get closer to my cousin Chong and the others. You know, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the King of Hedong and the others are dead, and there's no one to play with me anymore!"

"Ok?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned again, as if he did not expect Li Chengqian to make such a request.

The Hedong Kings that Li Chengqian was referring to were actually the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. He knew that Li Chengqian got along well with them, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have a younger brother called Qingque?"

"Qingque is too small"

Li Chengqian said aggrievedly, "You know, I've just recovered from a serious illness and really need someone to accompany me. I didn't dare tell my mother and father about this, for fear that they would worry."

"Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can see the King of Hedong and his men coming to me covered in blood. I'm scared. Uncle..."

When he said this, Li Chengqian's voice trembled a little.

Changsun Wuji felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. No wonder his nephew was so abnormal. It turned out that he was scared.

In fact, he could understand Li Chengqian very well. Not only would Li Chengqian be frightened, but Emperor Li II was also frightened for several months.

If Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong had not been guarding outside the door of His Majesty Li II every night, His Majesty Li II would probably have gone insane.

"Alright, Cheng Qian, don't be afraid. Your uncle will report to His Majesty and ask you to come to the palace with your cousins."

Changsun Wuji patted Li Chengqian's little shoulder comfortingly.

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this roundabout way to save the country was the right move. No matter how cunning and scheming Changsun Wuji was, he would always consider his son.

Chang Sun Chong is a good breakthrough point.

As long as I can let Changsun Wuji see the future of the Changsun family, won’t the previous unpleasantness be a thing of the past?
"Thank you, uncle." Li Chengqian bowed obediently, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Changsun Wuji.

"What is this?" Changsun Wuji asked in confusion.

"My uncle is so good to me, so I have to return the favor!"

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"This"

Changsun Wuji took the note hesitantly, then unfolded it to examine it. He was shocked at first glance: "Did you come up with this yourself?"

"Yes, I had nothing to do, so I thought about playing. I found that after I recovered from my illness, my mind became clearer. My mother said that the gods blessed me, but I don't know whether it is true or not." Li Chengqian said casually.

Changsun Wuji gave him a deep look, then looked around. Seeing that no one was passing by, he immediately crumpled the note into a small ball and said solemnly, "Don't tell anyone about this, understand?"

"I know, uncle. We are family. When you become the Right Prime Minister in the future, don't forget me, your nephew!" Li Chengqian smiled, waved his hand, turned around and ran away.

"This brat!"

Changsun Wuji smiled silently, but his heart was moved at the same time.

Right Prime Minister! That old man Feng Deyi has no idea of ​​current affairs!

but
Thinking of the contents on the note, he became confident again and couldn't wait to return to Xiande Hall.
