"Old Master, Ma Zhanshi requests to see you!"
Chang 'an City, Chongren Lane, Zhangsun Wuji's residence. Zhangsun Wuji, who had just returned home from the morning court assembly, was welcomed by an old servant.
"Ma Cheng? Why is he here instead of assisting the Crown Prince in the East Palace? "
Zhangsun Wuji got down from the horse carriage and frowned when he heard the words.
He was old and his body wasn't as healthy as Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong. Thus, he couldn't ride a bicycle to the morning court assembly every day. However, he actually liked the novelty of riding a bicycle. It was convenient, fast, and he could go whenever he wanted. However, his body condition didn't allow it. Thus, after experiencing the initial novelty, Zhangsun Wuji returned to riding a carriage to the morning court assembly.
Ma Cheng was the newly appointed Crown Prince Zhanshi. The previous Crown Prince Zhanshi was Li Zexuan. However, with Li Zexuan's continuous promotion over the past year, the small Crown Prince Zhanshi became a Marquis and was conferred as the Provincial Governor of a state. With such a status, it was obviously inappropriate for him to be the Crown Prince Zhanshi. Furthermore, Li Zexuan didn't have the time to go to the East Palace to carry out Crown Prince Zhanshi's duties!
Thus, about a month ago, under Zhangsun Wuji's recommendation, the newcomer Ma Cheng was appointed as the Crown Prince Zhanshi!
Ma Cheng was originally a scholar under Zhangsun Wuji. He came from a poor family. Fortunately, Zhangsun Wuji recognized him and recruited him. Thus, he was able to establish himself in Chang 'an City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Ma Cheng's literary talent was outstanding and he was knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was loyal to Zhangsun Wuji. Thus, Zhangsun Wuji recommended him as the Crown Prince Zhanshi to accompany Li Chengqian in his studies.
As the Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty, Zhangsun Wuji wanted Li Chengqian to become the true heir apparent and the future emperor of Great Tang more than anyone else. Even though Li Tai was also the biological son of Empress Zhangsun, since ancient times, it had always been the elders and not the young. Zhangsun Wuji didn't want to break this rule set by his ancestors. Because once he took the lead to break the rule, there would be countless people following behind him who wanted to break the rule.
…
"Master, Ma Zhanshi requests an audience!"
Chang 'an City, Chongren Lane, Zhangsun Wuji's residence. Zhangsun Wuji, who had just returned home from the morning court, had not even entered the house when an old servant came up to him and bowed.
"Ma Cheng? What is he doing here instead of helping the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace? "
Zhangsun Wuji said with a frown as he got off the carriage.

Speaking of Ma Cheng, he was the newly appointed Crown Prince Zhanshi. The previous Crown Prince Zhanshi was Li Zexuan. However, with Li Zexuan's continuous promotion over the past year, the small Crown Prince Zhanshi had become a Marquis of the current dynasty and was even conferred as the Provincial Governor of a province. With such a status, it was obviously inappropriate for him to be the Crown Prince Zhanshi. Furthermore, Li Zexuan indeed didn't have the time to go to the Eastern Palace to carry out Crown Prince Zhanshi's duties!
Thus, about a month ago, under Zhangsun Wuji's recommendation, the newcomer Ma Cheng took up the position of Crown Prince Zhanshi.
