Chapter 358: Temptation

The ministers went out of the dormitory.

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a tired expression: "I'm tired, Chengqian should also go and rest!" ”

Li Chengqian got up and helped Li Shimin lie down, and said in a low voice: "It's all the uselessness of the sons and daughters that have tired my father." ”

Li Shimin showed a smug smile on his face when he heard this, took Li Chengqian's hand and said: "Chengqian, rest assured, my father will hold on until you set the eternal law of my Tang Dynasty." ”

……

……

It was nothing for the ministers to listen to Li Chengqian's lecture in Li Shimin's dormitory, what really made them care was that Li Shimin's health was obviously getting better and better, and judging from today's situation, Li Shimin was very supportive of Li Chengqian's reform of the law.

In ancient times, there was only 'revolution' and no word 'reform', although Li Chengqian once publicly said that Li Shimin should make an unshakable law for the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Chengsui system has gone through nine years of martial virtue and more than ten years of Zhenguan, and now more than 20 years have passed, hundreds of families have been established in the world, and the founding merits of the DPRK have also taken deep roots.

On the way back to the palace, everyone was silently thinking about their thoughts, and suddenly Yu Suiliang walked up to Gao Shilian and bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted, and as a courtier, he can only go all out to fulfill His Royal Highness the Prince's ambition." ”

Seeing this, everyone stopped, Gao Shilian glanced at the six Shangshu standing next to him, nodded solemnly, and said: "When our courtiers meet a Ming monarch like Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we must go all out to serve the imperial court." ”

Liubu Shangshu knew that the two of them were singing and harmonizing here, and asked them to cooperate with the inspection.

Hearing this, Li Daozong smiled and said to the two: "The two adults just rest assured, we are also the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, and such matters that affect the Tang Dynasty for eternity will naturally be fully assisted by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Exactly......

"If this is done, we will be able to leave a name in history......"

Everyone spoke out in agreement.

……

Li Chengqian's stabilization of these people is even if he stabilizes the imperial court, as long as he removes the Jing King and the Shi clan who are going to rebel in one fell swoop, his changes will be smooth in the imperial court.

Li Chengqian left Li Shimin's dormitory and came to Ganlumen, where he usually handles government affairs, and was just about to order someone to go to several scholars of the Pingzhang Academy, when Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, came to see him.

Li Chengqian ordered him to come in to see him, and on the other hand, he secretly thought that Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he had met just now, why did he come to ask for a meeting again?

After a while, Li Daozong walked in a little reluctantly and saluted Li Chengqian.

"Uncle Jiangxia is exempt from the gift." Li Chengqian said lightly.

"Your Highness." Li Daozong didn't look at Li Chengqian, just bowed down and sat down.

Li Chengqian saw Li Daozong sitting there with his head bowed, knowing that he must have something important to say, so he didn't say anything, just waited for him to speak.

After a while, I saw Li Daozong raise his head and look at Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has heard that King Jing has returned to Chang'an." ”

Li Chengqian's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he immediately covered it up, and asked lightly, "When did it happen?"

"I don't know, but it should be a few days. The minister heard from the housekeeper that the Chang'an Shi clan was in the legend that 'King Jing held a banquet and claimed to have dreamed of the sun and the moon'. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked at Li Daozong with a smile and said, "Does Uncle Jiangxia believe it?"

When Li Daozong heard this, he immediately said angrily: "He is rebellious and talks nonsense, how can he believe it!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Uncle Jiangxia is also a master of the art of war, tell me how they will fight the Lone King in this battle?"

When Li Daozong heard this, his face was solemn and said, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that they will rebel?"

"Although King Jing is near Chang'an, if it weren't for the Chang'an Shi clan taking the initiative to hook him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the courage to sneak back to Chang'an, right?"

Li Chengqian said that, looked at Li Daozong, and waited for him to answer.

Because Li Daozong acted in a low-key manner, Li Chengqian has always ignored Li Daozong, but don't forget that Li Shimin once evaluated Li Daozong, Li Shiji, and Xue Wanche together, and thought that Li Daozong and Li Shiji's military attainments were stronger than Xue Wanche.

Such a character is also a member of the clan, even if he forgets it, others will be worried about it, and this King Jing will give Li Daozong the news a few days after returning to Chang'an.

When Li Daozong heard this, he thought about it and said tentatively: "Your Majesty's body is already healthy, as long as Your Majesty comes forward, the world will be peaceful." ”

Li Daozong patronized and tested Li Chengqian, but he forgot to talk like this, which also violated Li Chengqian's taboo.

I saw Li Chengqian smile and said, "Uncle Jiangxia seems to look down on the lonely king?"

Li Daozong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and saluted Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood, the minister has no intention of underestimating His Royal Highness the Prince, but just wants to calm down the situation as soon as possible and prevent them from committing chaos......"

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't say anything, so he got up and helped Li Daozong sit down, and comforted him: "King Gu just casually said that Uncle Wang doesn't have to care. ”

Li Daozong sat down and looked at Li Chengqian like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Li Chengqian knew that he was pretending, and he didn't intend to let him go, so he slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Is there a way for Uncle Wang to let them rebel, and the court can calm them down without hurting their bones?"

When Li Daozong heard this, he was relieved, and sure enough, Li Chengqian deliberately indulged them in rebellion.

On his face, he pretended not to understand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what does this mean?" If King Jing is allowed to collude and rebel, he will be widely implicated, and the court will be hurt by what happens! ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Daozong angrily, and said lightly: "Only when the poisonous sores are pulled out can the body be healthy, there are so many ill-intentioned people hidden in the court, if you don't clean it up and don't say that the court can't do anything, even the world will not be peaceful." ”

Li Chengqian saw that Li Daozong nodded in approval when he heard this, and said coldly: "The lonely king treats Uncle Wang honestly, I don't know why Uncle Wang repays the lonely king?"

Li Daozong had a wry smile on his face when he heard this, and he was really clever in his heart, and he actually tried Li Chengqian. Looking at Li Chengqian looking at himself playfully, he knew that he would not be able to get out if he didn't show his attitude today.

Li Daozong got up and walked under Li Chengqian's throne, bowed solemnly to the ground and said, "The minister is willing to follow the prince left and right to pull out the poisonous sores of the imperial court." ”

Li Chengqian looked at Li Daozong, who was bent over, and didn't let him get up, but asked directly: "I don't know why Uncle Wang taught King Gu?"

Hearing this, Li Daozong straightened up and said confidently: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that they are going to rebel, then he can't give them too much time to let him arrange it calmly. ”

Li Chengqian was a little impatient when he heard this, and asked directly: "How to break the game?"

Li Daozong was stunned when he heard this, smiled bitterly in his heart, but hurriedly said in his mouth: "Ming will summon King Jing back to Chang'an!" ”

Li Daozong's method was very clear, and the imperial court issued a clear order to force King Jing to force, either showing up or speeding up the rebellion.

"What if King Jing ignores the imperial edict? After all, he is now a king and a loser, and there is no turning back. Li Chengqian thought that King Jing had embarked on the road of rebellion, and it was impossible to care about the imperial court's edict.

Li Daozong smiled faintly when he heard this, and finally felt that Li Chengqian was not so strong, but seeing that Li Chengqian's eyes were not good, he hurriedly said: "The edict is just to startle the snake and let them know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already known his whereabouts. ”

Li Chengqian thought that this was just an idle move anyway, so he nodded and said, "It's up to Uncle Wang's plan." ”

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

Li Chengqian's edict went down, and King Jing, who was hiding in the Zhaoguofang mansion, got the news that day.

Hearing that the envoy of the imperial court had already summoned him to Beijing in Qianjunzhou, King Jing immediately lost his mind and hurriedly sent someone to summon his comrades to discuss countermeasures.
