Chapter 46
"Sigh!"
Li Tai sighed: "I want to, but Zhinu also wants to. As an older brother, I can't compete with him."
"Even if I were truly shameless enough to compete, I wouldn't have the confidence to win."
"Regarding the classics, why doesn't Your Highness take out the Classics section first and show it to His Majesty and the civil and military officials?"
"No matter how well you talk, it's not as good as the facts. As long as you make His Majesty feel that you have the ability to do this well, I believe His Majesty will seriously consider it."
"Eh?"
Li Tai's eyes lit up: "You're right. I'll revise a part of it first. If Father doesn't agree, I can put this part in the Guozijian so that the students of the Guozijian can see all the classics."
Li Chunfeng really wanted to remind Li Tai that the most important thing to get the right to revise the book is money; whoever uses less money and time will be able to get it.
He didn't dare to remind him; once he said it voluntarily, everything would become a deliberate plot, and with the intelligence of Su Xu and others, it would be easy to arouse suspicion.
Just as the two were talking, the Secretariat Drafter Gu Yin ran in hurriedly. Seeing that Li Chunfeng was also there, he stopped the words that were about to blurt out.
Li Chunfeng took a look, then stood up and bowed to Li Tai:
"I still need to return to the Taichang Temple; I will come to bother the Prince of Wei another day!"
"Okay! Another day, I will definitely find a special time to drink and have fun with Li Taichang."
"I take my leave!"
After Li Chunfeng left, Gu Yin couldn't wait to speak:
"Your Highness the Prince of Wei, Chu Suiliang has gone to Qianzhou!"
"Is he crazy?"
Li Tai exclaimed: "The expedition to Goguryeo doesn't need to transport grain from the Jiangnan Circuit; why would he go there?"
"His Majesty didn't say it wasn't allowed to go to the Jiangnan Circuit; the edict he received was to check the grain granaries of the world."
"Fox borrowing the tiger's power!"
Li Tai's face was gloomy: "The grain in Qianzhou shouldn't have any problems! Su Jun has the ability; this little thing shouldn't be able to stump him."
"He has the ability, but I'm afraid of that broken mouth!"
"Uh..."
Li Tai's expression froze. Thinking of the scene with Su Jun, he couldn't help but shiver:
"It shouldn't be, right! After all, he was sent by Father, and Chu Suiliang is not a petty person; he shouldn't be angered to the point of vomiting blood."
"Has Your Highness forgotten the day the Prince of Qi returned to the capital? The Crown Prince just said he had no brains, and he almost couldn't catch his breath."
"Prefect Su dares to talk back even to His Majesty, let alone Chu Suiliang."
"Slap!"
Li Tai slapped his thigh hard and said with a mournful face:
"I knew it, I knew it; that broken mouth of his will cause trouble sooner or later."
Just as the two said, Qianzhou Prefect Su Jun did not fear Chu Suiliang at all; even when Chu Suiliang put the evidence of the crime in front of him, he was not panicked in the slightest.
"Doctor Chu, is the thing on your neck just for show? Can you believe the words of a rustic?"
"The grain in the granary was originally all there, but it disappeared after you came. I even suspect that you are the reincarnation of a glutton who swallowed all the grain."
Chu Suiliang was anxious, his whole face flushed red:
"The stored grain in the granary is missing; you, as the Prefect, are blameless. I will definitely report this to His Majesty."
"If you plead guilty today, I can still plead for you; if you remain obsessed, even Princess Nanchang cannot protect you."
"Hehe!"
Su Jun sneered: "Plead guilty? Do you think I only grow in size like you?"
Speaking of this, Su Jun leaned forward slightly and looked at Chu Suiliang seriously:
"What kind of thing are you? Do I need you to plead for me? Is your family background better than mine, or is your talent better than mine?"
"Oh! I forgot, your skin is thicker than mine."
"Doctor Chu, can you teach me? How can I be as shameless as you?"
"Of course, you can also not teach me; after all, it's inherited from your ancestors, and I won't force you."
"You, you..."
Chu Suiliang's breathing was rapid, and he pointed at Su Jun, unable to say a complete sentence.
"What 'you' what 'you', don't prescribe medicine to others when you are sick yourself every day."
"And don't think that just because you have a problem with your brain, you can do whatever you want!"
"Doctor Chu!"
"Doctor Chu!"
Chu Suiliang was angered to the point of heart attack; unable to catch his breath, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly to the ground.
"Pah!"
Su Jun was full of disdain and ordered his subordinates:
"Throw this pile of dog shit to the medical clinic; don't let him die in Qianzhou."
"Yes!"
"A fool playing me for a fool; it's really hellish."
After complaining casually, Su Jun stopped worrying about Chu Suiliang and returned to the backyard by himself.
In the backyard, a guard from the Princess Nanchang Mansion had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Su Jun, he hurriedly bowed:
"Greetings, Eldest Young Master. The Princess had the servant bring a hundred guards to follow the Eldest Young Master's orders."
"How are Father and Mother's health recently? Are Second Brother and the others obedient?"
"Everything is fine in the mansion, please rest assured, Eldest Young Master. However, many things have happened in the court recently. The Consort asked me to remind you that it has been confirmed that the Prince of Jin is participating in the struggle for the throne."
"I know!"
Su Jun didn't care at all; he didn't care who became Emperor; to him, it was all the same.
"What's going on with Chu Suiliang? When did he get such a big reputation in Buddhism?"
The guard told the whole story of Princess Gaoyang's pregnancy:
"That's what the Consort told the servant. He also said that the Crown Prince wants to drag Buddhism into the water."
"If Chu Suiliang uses Buddhism, I hope the Eldest Young Master can try not to conflict with Buddhism."
Hearing this, Su Jun's brow furrowed slightly. He originally wanted to learn from Northern Zhou Emperor Wu in Qianzhou, but now it seems it's not possible.
"You take people to secretly investigate where this pile of dog shit, Chu Suiliang, hid the grain in which temple."
"Also, send someone back to Chang'an to ask the Prince of Wei if Zhangsun Wuji has any other moves."
"A grain granary cannot kill Father and me; how exactly does he plan to transfer Father away from Chang'an?"
"Yes!"
Su Jun really couldn't figure out why Chu Suiliang was attacking him; he was the Princess's son and the Emperor's own nephew.
As long as it wasn't rebellion, even if he really embezzled grain, at most he would be dismissed from office and stay at home, which would have no effect on his father, Su Xu.
If they wanted to transfer Su Xu away from Chang'an, logically they should let Su Xu be promoted, not attack him.
Not only could Su Jun not figure it out, but Li Chengqian, who received the news, couldn't figure it out either.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. After burning the intelligence, he looked at Yuwen Ding and ordered:
"How is the training? How many people can be used currently?"
"Thirty people, including Yang Xian!"
Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction: "You go find Wang Qi; he will arrange everything for you."
"Those with some martial arts skills will be guards, and those without will be servants. They have only one task, and that is to do nothing."
"Work honestly and loyally until the day you go to find them."
"Tell them to be careful at all times; shit is not good to eat, and money is even harder to earn."
"Yes!"
Li Chengqian looked at the ashes in the stove, and the scene of the Three Wu and One Zong destroying Buddhism gradually appeared in his eyes.
Although there was no intelligence from Qianzhou, he could infer that Chu Suiliang would definitely use the temples in Qianzhou to do something.
He didn't want to destroy Buddhism, but he must weaken it, and this required the help of Confucianism and Taoism.
He was not confident in persuading Confucianism and Taoism, and Li Shimin would not allow the struggle between the three teachings to be stirred up at this time.
'Wait a little longer, wait for the founder of the Consciousness-Only Sect to return. However, the Hongfu Temple in Chang'an can be arranged in advance.'
'I wonder how Fifth Brother is doing; I should go see him.'
Li You was living exceptionally happily at this moment; although his body was very tired, he didn't have to carry the status of an Imperial Prince and could do whatever he wanted.
Just like now, he could lie down in the shade under the wall like an ordinary commoner to cool off, not caring about the mud on the ground.
"Fifth Brother, why are you lying on the ground cooling off by yourself?"
Li You opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, speaking irritably:
"I'm afraid that if half a person lies down, it will scare you to death."
