The palace of Li Chengqian in Luoyang.

Li Chengqian changed out of his black clothes, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Du He walk in with a happy face.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Flat, sit down!" Now Li Chengqian can only have no shelf in front of Du He.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really clever!" As soon as Du He sat down, he smiled and pointed at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled indifferently, picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister guesses that Liu Shilang will come to ask for a meeting later, do you want Liu Shilang to write a letter to reform the election policy now?" Duhe was a little excited when he said this.

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "I was too anxious before, but now that I have made the unfair selection of the world clear through Zhou Jin's death, I can wait a little longer." ”

"Wait?

Why wait?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was eloquent and subdued all the officials on the spot. ”

Du He asked puzzled. He has always been anxious for quick success, and feels that the reform election should start now.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian asked rhetorically: "How many people in the world know about Zhou Jin's death now?"

Although I have erected a monument for Zhou Jin, I must let everyone in the world read Zhou Jin's epitaph?"

It takes a fermentation time after the move.

"Oh!"

Du He thought about it for a while, and then nodded in response, which can be regarded as approving Li Chengqian.

After a while, Du He asked suspiciously: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, did you say that Your Majesty is being furious at this moment?"

Du He grew up under the watchful eye of Li Shimin, and he regarded Li Shimin as an elder in his heart.

"Probably not." Li Chengqian smiled evilly. "If we had done something else, His Majesty would have been really furious."

"What's the matter?"

When Du He heard this, he immediately became interested.

"I will personally lead the army east to Goguryeo." Li Chengqian said lightly.

Du He almost jumped up when he heard this, Li Shimin's heart to destroy Goguryeo is known to the world, and now Li Chengqian wants to rob him of this good thing, isn't it a tiger's mouth to pull out his teeth?

He looked at Li Chengqian with two big eyes and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you thinking too much?" Your Majesty has always made you the crown prince of the prison country?"

Li Chengqian glanced at him, picked up two copies of the notes from the table and threw them into Du He's arms, and said, "If I wasn't the prince of the prison country, I wouldn't be able to suppress these two notes?"

Du He looked down and saw that the two notes were from Li Shiji and Su Dingfang.

-------------------------

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji entered Luoyang City, he went straight to the line.

As soon as he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji was back, Li Shimin ran out without saying a word.

Seeing this, the attendant rushed out to pass on the eldest grandson Wuji to see him.

The two met in the second door.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was covered with tears, fell to the ground and said with a crying voice: "The minister Sun Wuji greets Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin hurriedly helped the eldest grandson Wuji up, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" ”

As he spoke, he looked carefully up and down at the eldest grandson Wuji.

At the same time, the eldest grandson Wuji also looked Li Shimin up and down, and the two sighed at the same time.

"The minister heard in Qiongzhou that His Majesty was seriously ill and didn't close his eyes for a few days, and then he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had cured His Majesty, and he didn't sleep for a few days with joy." The eldest grandson Wuji pulled Li Shimin and said with a smile and tears.

"Auxiliaries don't complain?"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, tears flowed down.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said sincerely: "Before, the minister thought badly, how could he complain about Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't look like he was lying, and nodded with emotion: "Since the auxiliary machine left, I have always regretted that I didn't stop Cheng Qian at that time. ”

"Don't complain about His Royal Highness the Prince, it's the minister's fault first." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said.

"Don't talk about that, let's have a good drink when the auxiliary plane comes back today. These days, I often drink with Wei Chi and Zhijie, both of whom are rammers, who can only drink and can't compose poems, and they are very boring. Saying that, Li Shimin pulled the eldest grandson Wuji and walked to the inner hall.

"The eldest son and grandson Chong pay a visit to Your Majesty."

When he went to the inner hall and sat down, the eldest grandson rushed forward to greet him.

Li Shimin saw the eldest grandson and hurriedly smiled: "Hurry up, this trip to Qiongzhou with your father is hard enough." ”

"Teach and respect your father, and your sons will not be bitter."

The eldest grandson hurriedly said modestly.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Chong and thought of his two sons, and couldn't help sighing.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't see how the old fox couldn't see it, but he had just returned from exile, and he was still a little afraid and didn't dare to talk much.

At noon, Li Shimin was holding a banquet for the eldest grandson Wuji. After the banquet, everyone retreated, leaving only the eldest grandson Wuji to speak.

"Auxiliary, just the two of us here, you tell me the truth, what do you think of Cheng Qian?" Li Shimin asked solemnly.

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was silent, but he scolded in his heart, don't let me get involved in the affairs of the two of you, okay?

The last time I was mixed with it once, I was assigned to Qiongzhou, if I mix it again, I won't be assigned to Tianzhu Kingdom?

Scolding and scolding, but if you really don't let the eldest grandson Wuji get involved in the royal affairs, the eldest grandson Wuji will feel uncomfortable.

In history, the eldest grandson Wuji was involved in the family affairs of the Li royal family three times in his life, and one was the Xuanwumen coup, which made him an important minister during the Zhenguan period; the second was to support the establishment of Li Zhi as the crown prince, making him a powerful minister during the Yonghui period; The third time was to oppose Liwu Zetian as the empress, making him a prisoner and given to death.

The eldest grandson Wuji muttered the words of organization, and Li Shimin waited patiently beside him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is eloquent and strategic, and he is the best candidate for the prince." The eldest grandson Wuji said tentatively.

Li Shimin nodded "um" in approval.

The eldest grandson Wuji scolded his mother in his heart again, but he stopped talking.

Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji did not speak, so he said himself: "I can also see Cheng Qian's ability, but his temperament is too strong, and he wants to follow his ideas in everything, how is this possible?"

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Shimin said these words because Li Chengqian gave Zhou Jinli a tombstone outside Luoyang City in the morning.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move is very high!" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said authentically.

Li Shimin's face was instantly ugly, and he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Auxiliary, are you resentful that I exiled you to Qiongzhou, so I am happy to see your nephew slap me in the face?"

Although the eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Shimin's words were not serious, he also quickly got up and bowed down and said: "The minister doesn't dare, but the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done really well this time." ”

"Not to taunt me?" Li Shimin wondered.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "How dare the 'monarch humiliate the minister' and ridicule His Majesty?"

Li Shimin's eyes were still suspicious and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Then you can talk about it." ”

"I have seen it on the way back, although Du Zhenglun and Liu Xiangdao are extreme, there are also some right places.

The main purpose of the song is to expel the people of the family who have always been at odds with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the court.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's desire to implement this law was opposed by the ministers, and according to His Royal Highness the Prince's previous temperament, he should use drastic measures to forcibly promote it.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instead wanted to put down Cai Wenying's rebellion and implicate all the scholars around Luoyang, so that these people would support the reform of the election.

It's just that the minister was worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would refuse to send all these scholars to overseas, resulting in an empty country, so he intervened and frustrated His Royal Highness the Prince's wishes. ”

Speaking of this, seeing the impatient look on Li Shimin's face, he hurriedly smiled: "The minister didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would write such a good sacrifice by erecting a monument to Zhou Jin. ”

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction with this.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled disapprovingly and said, "Your Majesty, look at how well that epitaph is written!" This is an article that wants to be praised through the ages, and when this article spreads all over the world, it will be difficult for the imperial court to change the election policy. ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to the south and said, "According to what you say, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's election reform, I have to let Zhou Jin's tombstone stand there?"

Li Shimin originally thought that in two days he would make a decree that the Ministry of Rites would bury Zhou Jin according to the etiquette system of the three-grade officials, and as long as the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not stupid, they would do this to his satisfaction, so he sat down peacefully and let Li Chengqian slap him in the face.

Now it seems that the tombstone that hit him in the face is about to end with the Tang Dynasty!
