Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Many people present were the first-hand participants. Thinking about it now, they still have lingering fears.

I just heard Li Er say: "I don't think what Zhijie said today is unreasonable. It's just that this firewood is used by the common people for cooking and heating. How can it be prohibited? Dear friends, how can you have the best of both worlds?" good strategy?"

Li Er began to ask questions.

The ministers thought hard.

Some people proposed that the imperial court allocate money to build yards for the people in Chang'an City to stack firewood.

Someone suggested that the Marquis Wu should step up their patrols to prevent fires.

Someone proposed that the common people pile up all the firewood at the door instead of in their own yards.

Lots of suggestions and ideas.

But nothing could satisfy Li Er.

He shook his head somewhat disappointed.

In the end, Li Er had to announce his withdrawal from the court.

One by one, the ministers hurriedly left the Tai Chi Hall, but they all rushed home to check whether the firewood piled up at home was safe and whether there was a possibility of fire.

……

Chapter 270 The Prince's Filial Piety

East Palace.

The garden on the west side is still smoking.

The eunuchs, forbidden soldiers, maids, and officials from the Ministry of Industry who came in and out were all busy.

The East Palace is the place where the Crown Prince lives, and a sudden fire broke out. This is a major event that the court attaches great importance to.

Even Li Er came to ask questions in person.

When everyone was so busy, Chen Chu and Li Chengqian were drinking tea by a small artificial lake.

The artificial lake is built very petty.

But Li Chengqian felt very comfortable.

This is where he always comes when he is bored.

The small pavilion is away from the other main places of the Eastern Palace.

Very few people come here.

Li Chengqian looked at the distance, patted his chest and said, "Chen Chu, you scared me to death... If the fire can't be controlled, once it spreads, the entire palace will be affected, and the consequences will be disastrous..."

Li Chengqian is still young after all.

Thinking about it now is a little scary.

Chen Chu put down his teacup, and asked calmly, "Prince, what are you talking about?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, "The fire in the East Palace!"

"Where is the fire?"

"From the East Palace."

"What's in the East Palace?"

"The fire in the East Palace?"

"What's the fire?"

"East Palace..."

Li Chengqian was about to collapse.

However, looking at Chen Chu's serious look, he suddenly understood that Chen Chu didn't intend to admit it at all.

In other words, this matter, since then, has become a mystery.

Anyway, it wasn't Chen Chu's doing.

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched.

Shameless!

The fire was set by Chen Chu.

It was also Chen Chu who asked people to save him.

But now, it seems that it has nothing to do with Chen Chu...

Li Chengqian, who had been reading sage books since he was a child, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

But that's fine, no matter how hard we investigate in the future, we won't be able to find Chen Chu.

Li Chengqian didn't bother about this anymore, but asked, "Chen Chu, are you sure that coal can make money? But, no one in Chang'an city is buying coal now..."

He was a little worried.

Chen Chu asked with a smile: "Prince, what should we do if our coal business fails?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, the big deal is that I live frugally in the East Palace, so I won't be here if the five thousand guan are not there. I went to the coal mine to see that we have supported at least several thousand people."

Chen Chu felt very relieved.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai have completely different personalities.

When Li Tai learned that Wuqianguan was going to be in vain, he immediately became furious.

As for Li Chengqian, he even generously said that it was fine.

This is the gap!

Chen Chu drank all the tea in the quilt in one gulp, and said, "It's impossible to lose money, you just wait for a while to count the money until you feel sick, but we still have something to do..."

"what's up?"

"Reform the Ganlu Hall."

Li Chengqian was a little stunned: "What does this transformation mean?"

Chen Chu said lightly, "It's just to decorate the Ganlu Hall..."

puff!

Li Chengqian, who had just had a sip of tea, squirted out the tea.

He looked at Chen Chu in a daze, and said, "No, Father knows, he will be furious, whether it is Ganlu Hall or other halls, all things can only be pretended after seeing Master Yuan from the Taoist sect. It's just a screen, and you need permission from your father to move it, so it's not appropriate for us to decorate things rashly..."

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Of course I know that the father is not allowed, so I have made inquiries. Tomorrow morning, the father will go out of the city with the ministers to inspect, so let's take advantage of this gap and get things done."

Li Chengqian: "..."

Chen Chu asked: "Prince, are you hesitating?"

"I……"

Chen Chu said again: "You can't make money like this!"

Li Chengqian asked uncertainly: "Can you really make money?"

"It can make a lot of money, and it's beyond your imagination." Chen Chu's tone was firm.

Li Chengqian was silent for a while, then nodded.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Yongning Gate.

More than a dozen fast horses galloped out.

The city guard and several soldiers carefully watched the troops leave the city with respectful faces.

Because the person on the leading horse is the current emperor of Datang.

The goal of Li Er and the others today is to patrol around Chang'an City to see if the people are doing well.

In order to reflect the truth, Li Er also brought a historian with him.

The official historian is responsible for recording all the appearance of His Majesty Li Er when he sympathized with the common people.

Those who followed him were naturally Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji and other important court officials.

A group of people rode tall horses, followed Li Er's sides, and pointed at the scenery outside Chang'an City.

As he was walking, Li Er suddenly said: "My dear friends, my right eye is twitching so badly, I'm afraid something bad will happen today..."

The expressions of Wang Gui and the others changed.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. I'm afraid it's because you didn't have a good rest. We're only patrolling around Chang'an City, surrounded by guards with excellent martial arts. There are Baiqisi and the Imperial Army all around. Nothing should happen!"

Wang Gui suggested, "If Your Majesty is worried, why not let's go back to the palace now."

Li Er shook his head: "Today's patrol, how can we give up halfway, and order the Baiqisi and the imperial army to investigate and make no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Li Er, everyone continued to move forward, patrolling according to the original plan.

……

at the same time.

in the palace.

The gate of Ganlu Hall.

Suddenly a group of people appeared.

It turned out to be a bunch of plainly dressed craftsmen.

Seeing this, the eunuchs at the door were about to reprimand them, but seeing the appearance of the leader, they hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The leaders are precisely Li Chengqian and Chen Chu.

Li Chengqian asked: "Where is the father?"

An eunuch said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty left the palace with His Excellency this morning. I heard that he is going out of the city for inspection."

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "That's great...open the door, I'm going in to clean the house for my father."

What?

The eunuchs looked at each other.

Clean the house?

Isn't this what the maids do?

Why is the prince cleaning the house himself?

Li Chengqian said unhappily: "Why, I want to honor my father, don't you all agree? Get out of the way quickly..."

The eunuchs quickly stood aside.

Li Chengqian waved his hand: "Come with me..."

Chen Chu led seven or eight craftsmen into the Ganlu hall.

The eunuchs stood at the door, discussing in a low voice.

"Oh, His Royal Highness is really loyal and benevolent!"

"In such a cold day, His Royal Highness has to clean the Ganlu Hall for His Majesty himself. This is a manifestation of filial piety!"

"When His Highness the Crown Prince specifically chose His Majesty to leave the palace, it was to keep His Majesty from knowing. This is what truly admires us!"

"If His Majesty knows, he will be very happy!"

Everyone was talking about it, but they all praised Li Chengqian.

Not long after, there were clanging sounds from the Ganlu Hall.

It seems to be smashing something.
