It's still a while before noon, but the weather in May is already extremely hot.

Walking around irritably, Li Chengqian longed for a wisp of fresh wind to blow through, so that he could get some relief. Damn Tang Dynasty costumes, even in the middle of summer, pay attention to the clothes must cover the body, and it is unruly to show a little. In comparison, the generals who train on the river are much more comfortable. Not to mention that they are on the pool surface, or they are dressed, they have also changed into short clothes, exposing their hairy arms, chests and thighs, and enjoying the pleasure brought by low status.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was walking around, Li Shimin, who was also hot and upset, said helplessly: "I know that you are hot, but don't walk around, what kind of body, sit down." ”

Dad spoke, and Li Chengqian could only sit on the stone bench. But fortunately, the palace maid behind her waved the two huge fans and fanned them, which was somewhat cool.

After the initial plea, the eldest grandson Wuji quickly suppressed his boredom and said to the emperor with a smile: "The prince is also a young man, and he is angry, so he naturally can't stand the heat. That kid of my family can't be idle all day. ”

Li Shimin naturally knew about Changsun Chong's entry into the Qinling Mountains and into the barracks, in fact, Changsun Chong and the others were able to enter the barracks with his acquiescence, otherwise, the military Sima alone would be able to block them from the door.

"It's almost time for Chong'er to go out and practice, and I've heard that he is quite successful in rock climbing. Even if it's another project, it's not left behind. Auxiliary, do you intend to let Chong'er develop in the future as a military general? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "At the beginning, the minister was transferred from martial arts to literature because he injured his leg, and now Chong'er is following the old path of the minister, and it is nothing." Next year, the minister plans to send him to the forbidden army for training, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Li Shimin said happily: "It's okay, so that I can see him occasionally." It's better to let him be on duty near the East Palace, and let him get closer to the prince. ”

....

Li Chengqian sat on the side and looked at the pool, but his ears kept listening carefully.

From the short conversation between the two, he heard a lot of information.

For example, the emperor's father is really kind to the eldest grandson Wuji. Not to mention the incident of the eldest grandson Anye, he protected it with the dignity of the emperor, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji clearly revealed the meaning of the bilateral development of civil and military, and he also accepted it.

That's right, it is the bilateral development of the civil and military. Now the eldest grandson Wuji, who is the head of the household department, is already a big member of the civil officials, and if the eldest grandson Chong gains a little influence in the army, then the eldest grandson family will occupy a place in both the civil and military fields, and will immediately become the second largest clan outside the imperial family.

Doing so is a bit of a tiger!

Although I don't know much about the specific historical facts, in history, whether it was the Empress Dowager Xuan of the Great Qin, or the Empress Lu Lu Pheasant, Wu Zetian, etc., when they were in power, the court had a lot of turmoil because of the intervention of their relatives.

If the eldest grandson's family is anti-hearted.... Wrong!

After thinking about the arrogant five surnames and seven wangs at this time, Li Chengqian suddenly understood what the emperor's father meant.

It's not about raising tigers, it's about drainage.

The current eldest grandson family is obviously not enough to wrestle with the five surnames and Qiwang, but if they get the support of the royal family, I am afraid they will grow up soon. Not only the eldest grandson Wuji, but also Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, each of them is a ready-made big family blank. Compared with the five surnames and seven wangs that can't be controlled, it is a good strategy to cultivate your own people and take over their positions.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian realized that the emperor's father was not unprincipled "spoiling" the eldest grandson Wuji!

After relieving his heart, he no longer cared about the sound of conversation behind him. Lying on the fence, he watched Liu Mang's team train intently.

Li Jing's hellish training was effective in the end, under the command of Liu Mang, who was beating the drum on the bow of the boat, the members of the brigade quickly mastered the uniform rhythm of rowing, although it was not as fast as the royal team, at least it was much faster than the teams such as the princes.

This kind of speed is completely enough to finish in the top three, and as for the first, it must be the Royals. Li Chengqian felt that he was probably not the only one who had this idea. The top three, in addition to the first place, only the second and third are worth fighting for.

Just when Li Chengqian was watching the training of Liu Mang's team, a guard walked into the pavilion after making a report, knelt on one knee and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang learned that a dragon boat race was held in Qujiangchi, and he also hopes to come and watch. ”

"The Emperor?" Li Shimin frowned.

The harem has never been worried about him because of the queen. But if there is anything else that can make him feel bad, it is probably only the emperor.

Since the coup d'état in Xuanwumen, Emperor Taishang has been entrenched in the Taiji Palace, and has become a cancer in the palace.

This "tumor" does not mean that he has any prejudice against the Emperor, but the meaning of a time bomb.

Whether it was Luo Yi raising troops to rebel or Li Xiaochang plotting to rebel, they were all following the will of the Emperor Taishang and slogans such as "Jing Nan".

Although he knew this kind of thing, the Emperor Taishang would not lack the participation of his heart, and the guards around the Taiji Hall would not let the news pass on, but as the emperor, being continuously questioned about his improper position still made him very angry.

People are like this, they can do bad things, and they know that they are wrong, but they will still get angry when they are blamed by others.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said: "The Emperor Taishang is not in good health, so don't go out of the palace to toss." You go back and tell the Emperor Taishang that you can rest assured that you can recuperate in the Taiji Palace! ”

It was obviously a word of concern, but everyone could hear the impatience in the emperor's words.

Even Li Chengqian, who was eating melons on the side, felt that the emperor's father was really a little too much, and couldn't help but slander again and again.

Even if there is a rebellion between Luo Yi and Li Xiao, you can't sprinkle all your anger on the emperor. The things I did were a bit immoral, and it was natural that these things would appear in the future.

Originally, the Emperor Taishang had a prejudice against you because of the matter of Xuanwumen, so if you are-for-tat, the relationship will not be eased, and the father and son will do it against each other!

The son doesn't say anything about the father, so Li Chengqian can only slander on the side, and he doesn't dare to say it. He is not qualified to be involved in the events in front of him. Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was on the side, also looked into the distance with a wine glass, making it clear that he didn't want to speak.

Stretching out his hand to stop the guards who were about to give orders, the eldest grandson frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't stop the Emperor Taishang from coming out." You have a bad relationship with the Emperor Taishang, and if you do this today, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid of what, I have made up my mind, and the queen doesn't need to say much!"

Seeing that the emperor insisted, the eldest grandson could only step aside, she was the queen and could give advice, but it was only a speech.
