Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"I've seen the Empress, and I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Gui bowed respectfully to Queen Changsun and Li Chengqian.

"Master Wang is exempt."

Queen Changsun looked at Wang Gui in confusion. This guy didn't teach at Qingque Mansion, so why did he enter the palace at this time?

However, as a harem queen, it was not convenient for her to ask.

So he looked at Li Chengqian aside and gestured to him.

However, at this time, Li Chengqian has not yet come out of Li Shimin's angry aura and the disappointment of being rejected, and is still in a state of confusion.

Seeing him winking at him behind the scenes, he thought he was urging him, so he quickly dismissed the old guy in front of him and took him back to the palace.

So he waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Master Wang, my mother and I still have important matters to discuss, so I won't chat with you."

Li Chengqian was already very dissatisfied with Li Tai, his younger brother. Why did his second son receive so much more rewards and love from his father than his eldest brother, the eldest son and crown prince?

And the Wang Gui in front of him was his younger brother's teacher. He was considered a direct descendant, so naturally he didn't look good at all.

Empress Changsun did not expect that Li Chengqian would be wrong about her and be so disrespectful to a great scholar like Wang Gui. She was really angry and anxious.

Immediately, she looked at Li Chengqian with a serious face and said:

"Gao Ming, how did you talk to Mr. Wang? Your father is indeed right. You have neglected to practice during this period and have even forgotten the most basic etiquette. It seems that it is time for me to ask someone to supervise your daily routine. daily life.”

Hearing Queen Changsun's words, Li Chengqian felt irritated and looked at Wang Gui with an increasingly unkind look.

Wang Gui, on the other hand, remained silent throughout the whole process, watching the mother and son act in front of him.

At this time, he met Li Chengqian's unkind eyes again, and he just smiled slightly;

"Queen, there is no need to worry about it. Your Highness must have encountered some difficulty and is in a bad mood."

Seeing that Wang Gui understood the general situation so well, Queen Changsun nodded with satisfaction, and then gave Li Chengqian a resentful look.

Knowing that this was not a place to stay for a long time, he said to Wang Gui:

"Since Mr. Wang still has important matters, I won't bother you anymore. In the future, I will definitely ask the prince to come and apologize."

After saying that, he gave Li Chengqian a cold look and then led people directly towards his bedroom.

Watching the mother and son leave, a look of ridicule appeared on Wang Gui's face, and then he strode towards Li Shimin's imperial study.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, he saw Wei Zheng waiting outside.

After the two people's eyes met, Wei Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

What did he see in Wang Gui's eyes?

dissatisfied?Disdain?regret?And sarcasm?

What does the other party mean?

After looking Wang Gui up and down, he found that he didn't carry anything in his hands, but there was a bulging lump on his chest.

Could it be. . .

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng's eyelids jumped wildly.

No, could it be that Li Yuan had some back-up plans to ask this guy to come and complain?

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng suddenly had cold sweat on his forehead.

If Wang Gui didn't know the situation now and went directly to face the emperor and handed the items in his hand to Li Shimin, the emperor would probably think that he and Wang Gui were in the same group and were all here to force him into the palace.

He and Wang Guike were both former subordinates of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng.

If this matter were still normal, no one would say anything, let alone make a fuss about it.

But now at such a sensitive moment, both of them come to identify the prince with conclusive evidence, which makes people speculate.

Thinking of Li Shimin's anger afterwards, Wei Zheng wanted to find Li Yuan and strangle him alive.

Just when he was about to step forward and explain the pros and cons of this matter to Wang Gui and let him retreat, he heard Li Shimin's slightly tired voice coming from the imperial study room:

"Shujie, why are you here? Is there something important?"

Then, I heard Li Shimin speak again:

"Now that you're here, if you have anything to do, come in and talk to me."

After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's summons, Wang Gui looked at Wei Zheng mockingly again, and then walked towards the imperial study.

Looking at Wang Gui's back, Wei Zheng opened his mouth wide and tried to stop him several times, but for some reason, he couldn't make any sound.

Seeing that the other party was about to step forward to the threshold of the imperial study, Wei Zheng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice:

"Shujie, be careful what you say."

When Wang Gui heard Wei Zheng's words, he just snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't even pause for a moment and still stepped into the imperial study room firmly.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, he saw the mess all over the floor and Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chair with a tired look on his face.

You don't need to ask to know that it must be that old man Wei Zheng who just handed over the evidence of the crime of Prince Li Chengqian, which made His Majesty the Emperor furious, and then he found Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun to hold them accountable.

However, looking at the situation when the mother and son left just now, it didn't seem like they had been severely punished.

It seems that Li Yuan's worries are not unreasonable. The emperor in front of him has long lost the bloody spirit after so many years of warmth and warmth.

Thinking of this, Wang Gui's face became a little heavy.

Although I have always felt guilty about Prince Yin, I still hope that the latter will prosper more than the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why he agreed to Li Yuan's request and came to hand over the evidence of Li Chengqian's crime was not only because he felt a trace of guilt for Li Jiancheng in his heart, but also because he did not want to see the future of Datang fall into the hands of a shameless and rebellious person. .

Taking a deep breath, Wang Gui did not bend down to salute, but plopped down and knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

"The sinner, Wang Gui, comes to see Your Majesty."

Li Shimin, who was still concentrating with his eyes closed, was startled by Wang Gui's movement. He quickly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Gui kneeling below and said:

"Shu Jie, what do you mean? Get up quickly."

However, Wang Gui did not stand up, but directly said:

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty and I hope your Majesty will stab him to death."

After saying that, he put his head on the ground, looking like he was waiting to die.

Li Shimin was confused by Wang Gui's actions.

He stood up in a hurry, walked down from the dragon chair, stepped forward to help Wang Gui up and said:

"Wang Aiqing, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. Why is this so?"

After Wang Gui took a deep look at Li Shimin, he spoke again:

"Your Majesty, a humble minister has betrayed the divine grace and failed to fulfill his duties as a minister, which almost caused His Majesty to suffer eternal disaster. This is a capital crime. Please forgive me."

What he said made Li Shimin a little confused.

But he also heard the meaning of Wang Gui's words and knew that this matter was of great importance, otherwise the other party would not be like this.
