Li Shimin's words fell, and he thought that he would win a voice of approval, but unexpectedly, the hall was very quiet, and no one stood up to respond.

Hou Junji had already expressed his stance with Li Shimin, and he was about to stand up and respond, but he saw that Li Chengqian and Li You did not speak, so he did not go out to speak.

Li Shimin was very embarrassed, he looked at no one and said nothing, so he simply asked by name: "Prince, Li You, what do you think?" ”

Li Chengqian and Li You said together: "Erchen agrees." Then there was no sound.

Li Shimin was very satisfied when he saw that Li Chengqian and Li You had expressed their attitudes, and asked again: "Eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, what do you think?" ”

The two servants shot and one of the scholars walked together and said, "The ministers have no objections. ”

At this time, the ministers also said in unison: "The ministers have no objections. ”

Li Shimin specially observed Gao Jingming and Wei Zheng, and found that they also agreed, and his mood suddenly improved.

He smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very relieved that you can understand my intentions. Since everyone has no objections, who is responsible for this matter? ”

The construction of Yong'an Palace has always been a beautiful thing, not to mention that it is for Li Shimin, it is said that everyone should rush to it, but after Li Shimin's words were finished, it was the same as just now, and the hall was quiet and fell into a cold field.

Li Shimin was a little unhappy, and he asked, "Prince, who should you be responsible for this matter?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "Father, for the construction of such a large project, the sons have no experience and no ability to take this responsibility, and the other sons and daughters do not know much about the selection of sons and ministers, and cannot express their opinions. He just resigned.

Li Shimin turned his gaze to Li You again, and he asked, "Li You, how about you take charge of this matter?" Li Shimin is very confident in Li You, no matter what is handed over to Li You, he can complete it perfectly.

Li You said: "Father, the sons have been in charge of the border affairs of the imperial court for so many years, and they have a lot of experience in those affairs, but the sons have not done this to build the palace, and the sons and daughters can't do anything. ”

Li Chengqian and Li You's reasons are also quite sufficient, and Li Shimin originally did not intend to hand them over, so he did not blame the two of them.

Then, Li Shimin set his eyes on the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "Eldest grandson Wuji, what is your opinion?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is very smart, he saw Li Shimin asking like this, and he already understood what he meant, and the person Li Shimin really wanted to hand over this matter to Li Tai was Li Tai, and he wanted to take this opportunity to let Li Tai officially come to the stage.

Now the court wants to say that people who have experience in engineering, one is the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Fu Rui, for more than ten years, the major projects of the imperial court, the leader is basically Huang Fu Rui. The other is Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who was responsible for the construction of the botanical garden and did a good job. Li Shimin doesn't need these two people, it is obvious that he is leaving a chance for Li Tai.

The eldest grandson Wuji was originally the opposite of Li Tai, and he would never recommend Li Tai, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister basically knows nothing about the project, and it is inconvenient for the minister to discuss this matter. ”

Next, Li Shimin looked all the way and saw that no one came forward. He said, "Since you don't have a suitable candidate, then I will recommend one."

The construction of Yong'an Palace was first proposed by Li Tai, and he had given full consideration to this matter. Therefore, I believe that Li Tai is perfectly suited to be in charge of this project.

Dear Aiqing, what do you think of my proposal? ”

Li Shimin was full of confidence that everyone had unanimously agreed with his opinion just now, believing that it would definitely be approved.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waited for everyone to express his position.

Quiet, quiet, silent.

There was a dead silence in the hall, and even the sound of people's breathing could be faintly heard.

Li Shimin raised his voice and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of my proposal?" ”

No one spoke.

Li Shimin had no choice but to start the roll call again, and he asked, "Prince, what is your opinion?" ”

Li Chengqian said calmly: "Erchen agrees. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "Since you agree, I asked you why you didn't speak just now, huh?" ”

Hearing Li Shimin's fierce words, everyone sweated for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian endured it all his life, and he suddenly felt that it was really meaningless to continue to be the crown prince, so he stepped forward and said in a sad tone: "Father, the son asks to resign as the crown prince." Please also remember the love between father and son, and allow your sons to go to the frontier. ”

Li Chengqian has always been cowardly in front of Li Shimin, and even though he has made some progress over the years, he has never had anything to do with Li Shimin. Everyone knew that Li Chengqian was dissatisfied with this matter, but they did not expect that Li Chengqian would say it in such a drastic way.

The silence in the main hall was terrible. People all looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

Seeing this situation, Li You was worried that Li Chengqian would be unlucky, and he couldn't let Li Chengqian face Li Shimin alone. In that case, Li Chengqian's hard work over the years may really be in vain.

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Chengqian to dare to speak like this, he was so angry that he pointed at Li Chengqian and said: "You bastard, you ......"

"Father, the son has something to say." At this moment, Li You stood up.

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Li You's body. Everyone knows that he has a close relationship with Li Chengqian. to know what he will say.

Li You said: "Father, the son asks to resign from the title of prince, please read it for the sake of father and son, and allow the son to leave Chang'an and fight for the court with the eldest brother." ”

Things suddenly developed to this point, Li Chengqian didn't expect that he would do it in advance, it was just impulsive, and he didn't discuss it with Li You in advance. Li Chengqian was really scared after saying those words, and he also regretted it a little in his heart. When he didn't know how to bear Li Shimin's anger, he didn't expect Li You to stand up.

Li Chengqian's heart was full of gratitude and warmth, and he really felt the inseparable brotherly love from Li You. At this moment, he felt that he was not afraid of anything, and he didn't care about everything anymore.

Next, another person stepped forward. He said, "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Yan Liben. For him to stand up, everyone was surprised and felt that it was reasonable. It is reasonable that Li Tai betrayed all his cronies back then, including Yan Liben, who used to be his master. Yan Liben has already drawn a clear line with Li Tai, if Li Tai returns to the throne, the first unlucky person will be Yan Liben.

To everyone's surprise, Yan Liben dared to jump out when Li Shimin was angry. Many people don't know that the current Yan Liben has already joined Li You's disciples and has become Li You's henchman, and he will definitely advance and retreat with Li You.

At this time, the general Li Jing stood up, and he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has already submitted his resignation to His Majesty on the way back to Chang'an. Please allow the old minister to return to his hometown. ”

Everyone really couldn't imagine that Li Jing would also come out to join in the fun. The one who knows Li Jing best is Li You, and he understands what Li Jing is doing this for. Li Jing is over 70 years old, and he has long been downset about life and death, he doesn't want to leave regrets, he must pass away with dignity.

Then, Gao Jingming walked out, he knew Li Tai, Li Tai had been a moth for so many years. Li You and others are desperate to increase the wealth of the imperial court, but Li Tai always uses the wealth of the imperial court to achieve his own goals. Before he took the throne, he began to plague the court, and if he was going to gain power in the future, his years of hard work as a household secretary would definitely be ruined.

Gao Jingming is an old man, if he sees a large amount of money being consumed by Li Tai and others, he can't bear this pain in his heart. He felt that instead of watching so many years of hard work be ruined, it was better to stay away from the court and be out of sight.

He said: "Your Majesty, the minister has followed Your Majesty for decades, has been conscientious, never dared to have the emperor's grace, and has never made any mistakes. For the sake of the minister's loyalty to His Majesty, please allow the minister to return to his hometown. ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and walked out. He said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and can no longer serve His Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to return to his hometown." "He is old and refined, he sees very clearly, the future world must be Li Chengqian, Li You and others, he has enough in this life, and he wants to leave a way out for his children and grandchildren.

Besides, he chose to support Li Chengqian and Li You, and Li Shimin may not do anything to himself.

Next, the ministers have already seen clearly what is going on, no one likes Li Tai, no one looks up to him, and many people are worried that Li Tai will be retaliated against when he returns to power. As a result, everyone stood up one after another to express their support for Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin's confidence and pride at this time were at the peak, and such a change in the court was completely unexpected, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.
