Recently, the eldest grandson Wuji has become more and more dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, or more and more dissatisfied with Li You.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji and Li You have the same goal in supporting Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian is becoming more and more influenced by Li You, becoming more and more disobedient, and some things even begin to be hidden from the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, has always regarded supporting Li Chengqian and then manipulating Li Chengqian as his future political goal, however, the development of things has deviated from this goal. Li Chengqian became more and more assertive and stronger.

Li Chengqian drafted a telegram and directly asked Li Shimin for his suggestion of establishing an institute of ethnic affairs management, and Li Shimin immediately agreed with it and praised Li Chengqian by phone. The eldest grandson, Wuji, was also happy for him, but the method of selecting students at the School of Ethnic Affairs and Management aroused his alarm.

The scope of the imperial court's expansion of territory was very large, and the number of officials required was also very large. For the eldest grandson Wuji, who is good at power-making and was born in the Ministry of Justice, he will definitely not let go of this piece of fat meat. Li Chengqian and Li You came up with a method, but he was obviously excluded, and the eldest grandson Wuji, as the servant in charge of the imperial court, was completely unable to intervene.

The eldest grandson Wuji is very angry now, but there is nothing to be done.

Although he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, Hou Junji, the current secretary of the Ministry of Officials, is also a strong figure and does not buy him very much. Xiao Dongchang, the servant of the ministry, was originally a die-hard supporter of the eldest grandson Wuji, but since Li You became his son-in-law, Xiao Dongchang began to listen to Li You.

Just last year, when dispatching officials to the Northwest Province, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to take advantage of Hou Junji's absence in Chang'an to install his own people in, but he was blocked by Xiao Dongchang, and the last arrangements were all candidates proposed by Li You. The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to target Xiao Dongchang several times, but he was afraid of Li You's bull fork, so he had to give up temporarily.

Now, the eldest grandson Wuji thinks that Li You has bewitched Li Chengqian, and he begins to turn his target to Li You. When Li Chengqian offered to let him try to drive Li Tai away, the eldest grandson Wuji decided to use this excuse to drive Li You out of Chang'an.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji is cunning and cunning, he will not come forward to say such things to offend Li You in person. He wanted to find a suitable person to raise this issue, so that Li You could not refuse. So he thought of Zhang Xuansu.

Yesterday, the eldest grandson Wuji came to the East Palace and met Zhang Xuansu alone.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Master Zhang, the matter proposed by Jian Guo to establish the School of Ethnic Affairs Management is indeed strategic, I guess this proposal must have been formed with your help, right?" ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji casually played with the teacup in his hand, but his eyes were observing Zhang Xuansu's expression. In fact, he had already guessed that the person who was really familiar with ethnic affairs in the DPRK and China was probably none other than Li You. He deliberately said this to provoke Zhang Xuansu's dissatisfaction with Li You.

As he expected, Zhang Xuansu was very embarrassed, and his face was very unnatural.

Recently, he has been dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, as well as his master Zhang Xuansu. In the past, Li Chengqian almost obeyed his master, but later he gradually became less important to his opinions. Now simply on many things, no longer ask for his opinion.

Not long ago, Li Chengqian and Li You secretly discussed something, and then transferred funds from the household department and dispatched the Flying Tiger Army, and he didn't know anything about what they were going to do.

Zhang Xuansu thought that such a big matter might cause Li Shimin's dissatisfaction, so he specially asked Li Chengqian, but Li Chengqian refused to confide in him the specific content.

Although Zhang Quansu also agreed with Li Chengqian's proposal to establish a college of ethnic affairs management, he did not discuss it with Zhang Xuansu in advance, which also made him very uncomfortable.

At this moment, when Zhang Xuansu heard the eldest grandson Wuji say this, his dissatisfaction with Li You suddenly rose a few points.

Zhang Xuansu also thought that Li Chengqian was bewitched by Li You, although he admired Li You in his heart, but he thought that Li You's method of acting was not suitable for Li Chengqian. Because the environment they live in is different, and their status is different. The many things that Li You can do do not mean that Li Chengqian can do them.

Seeing Zhang Xuansu's embarrassment, the eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to avoid this topic. He said: "Li Tai stayed in Chang'an for a long time and refused to leave, it is said that His Majesty had something to say and let him stay in Chang'an.

In the past few years, the adult princes have left Chang'an one after another, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally has a stable environment. Now that Li Tai wants to break this balance, I am afraid that there will be waves in the court.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found me and asked me to persuade Li Tai to leave Chang'an, and I decided to go to the Empress Mother, and she would come forward to do Li Tai's work. However, there is a difficult thing now, I am afraid that Li Tai will use it as an excuse. ”

Zhang Xuansu was dissatisfied with Li You in his heart, and when he heard him say this, he immediately understood that the person he was talking about was Li You. He nodded and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Northwest King is also in Chang'an, if he doesn't leave, Li Jungong will have an excuse not to leave Chang'an." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I'm just worried about this. Li Tai must leave Chang'an, and he must not be allowed to have any excuses. Therefore, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest should leave Chang'an first. In this way, it is much more convenient for the queen mother to persuade Li Tailai to come.

His Royal Highness the Northwest King has always supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is inconvenient for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to mention this matter, and it is not suitable for me to be His Royal Highness's uncle. After thinking about it, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you to come forward. ”

Zhang Xuansu had long wanted to exchange opinions with Li You. Persuading Li You to leave Chang'an, others are really not suitable to talk about it. As Li Chengqian's master, in the name of defending Li Chengqian, he can openly and honestly make this request to Li You.

He said: "Lord Eldest Sun is right, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will go to the Northwest Palace tomorrow. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is greatly influenced by His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, and I suggest that you don't let him know about the matter of going to His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest." In the future, even if he knows, he will be considerate of your kindness.

If he really wants to blame him, I'll bear it with you. ”

Zhang Xuansu said with righteousness and awe: "His Royal Highness the Prince's affairs are related to the foundation of the country, and I, as a courtier and the master of His Royal Highness the Prince, have nothing to fear. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji praised: "Master Zhang's high style and bright festival, I have always admired it. ”

So, Zhang Xuansu came to the Northwest Palace.

Li You knew that the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhang Xuansu would be dissatisfied with him, but the dissatisfaction of these two people was very different.

The eldest grandson Wuji's dissatisfaction stemmed from personal ambition, but Zhang Xuansu's dissatisfaction came from his genuine concern for Li Chengqian. Li You also had the idea of having an in-depth conversation with Zhang Xuesu.

At this moment, after Zhang Xuansu saluted Li You, Li You also respectfully returned the salute according to his position by Li Chengqian's side: "I have seen Master Zhang." ”

Xiao Wanyu personally made tea for Zhang Xuansu, and Li You took this opportunity to look at Zhang Xuansu secretly.

Looking at the slightly thin and stubborn little old man in front of him, Li You knew that the conversation that was about to start would be a brain-burning and difficult process.

Zhang Xuansu spoke first, and he said: "Your Highness, the minister has always had some thoughts in his heart, and he wants to ask His Highness for advice. I came to visit today, hoping to be open and honest with His Royal Highness. ”

Li You said: "Master Zhang is polite, please have something to say." ”

Zhang Xuansu has been up and down for decades, and he is old and sophisticated, so naturally he will not come up and talk to Li You about letting him leave Chang'an.

He said: "Your Highness, you have always been a strong supporter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you think is the difference between the problems you encountered in border affairs and the problems encountered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court?" ”

Li You said: "In terms of the content of specific affairs, there are naturally differences, but there is no difference in the way of dealing with problems. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "On this point, the minister does not dare to agree. In border affairs, things seem complicated, but the relationship between friend and foe is clear, and it is relatively simple to deal with. The affairs in the court seem simple, but they are complicated, and there are many more scruples to deal with.

Therefore, the minister believes that it may not be appropriate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to learn from your experience in handling border affairs to solve the problems in the court. ”

Li Youxin said: "It seems that this guy is here to ask the master, because Li Chengqian did not adopt his opinion as a master, which made him unhappy." ”

Li You didn't want to entangle with him in details, so he didn't go on on this topic.

Zhang Xuansu has spent most of his life in the court and has a wealth of political experience. However, his experience is confined to the complicated interpersonal relationships in the court, and lacks a transcendent and external structure.

Zhang Xuansu was active around Li Chengqian all day long and was able to exert a great influence on Li Chengqian, and Li You felt that it was necessary to reform some of his concepts so that he could better assist Li Chengqian.

However, Zhang Xuansu is an old man, extremely conceited and stubborn, and it is almost impossible to convince such a person.

Li You pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered a brilliant idea.
