Chang'an City, Liangyi Palace.

Li Shimin thought about it again and again and decided to talk to the eldest grandson Wuji first. He instructed: "Spread the eldest grandson Wuji to see him." ”

Wang De said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Turning around and walking out, as soon as he walked out of the door of the study, he saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming. He greeted him and said, "Lord Eldest Sun, Your Majesty is looking for you." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, pushed the door and entered.

"Auxiliary, you're here, what's the matter?" Li Shimin felt that he had come too coincidentally, so he asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, Xue Guogong sent a letter to the minister, asking if there is any news about Luoyang in the court. The minister heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was investigating the corruption case in Luoyang, and the minister felt that Xue Guogong's sudden letter was a little abnormal. Therefore, the minister thought that he should report to His Majesty. ”

Li Shimin was very happy, he was originally worried that the eldest grandson Wuji would be involved in this case, and seeing that he could take the initiative to report the situation, it was clear that he wanted to clear up his relationship with the eldest grandson Shunde. This shows that he is still loyal to himself.

Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary, Li You passed by Luoyang, and unexpectedly found that the corruption in the Luoyang River is very serious, this matter clearly has something to do with the Luoyang government, and the eldest grandson Shunde, as the governor of Luoyang, may not be able to get rid of it."

What do you think should be done about this? ”

Before the eldest grandson Wuji came to see Li Shimin, he had already thought of countermeasures, although he was related to the eldest grandson Shunde, but his honor and the honor of the eldest grandson queen all came from Li Shimin, and he was unwilling to mix with the eldest grandson Shunde.

He said: "Your Majesty, although Xue Guogong is the uncle of the minister, if he violates the law of the country, the minister will definitely draw a line with him." The minister believes that regardless of whether the eldest grandson Shunde was involved in the corruption case or not, since His Royal Highness the King of Qi has found out about the corruption case in Luoyang. The imperial court should investigate him.

The situation of the eldest grandson Shunde is a bit special, although the minister does not dare to conclude that he will rebel, but he has a heavy army, and he still has to guard against it.

Therefore, the minister suggested that for the time being, do not send people to Luoyang to investigate and deal with corruption cases, so as to avoid him taking risks. The minister's opinion was that the imperial court could let him come to Chang'an to report on his work. If he comes, everything will be easy to say. If he finds an excuse not to come, it means that there is a ghost in his heart, and the court should take precautions as soon as possible.

In order to avoid his suspicion, the minister suggested that the imperial court could issue a decree, that is, to let all the governors of each province take turns to come to Chang'an to report on their work, and the first batch of three governors of Luoyang, Xuzhou and Jinan in Henan Province should be transferred to Beijing to report on their work. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Good idea." This matter will be handled by Shangshu Province. ”

"Obey." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was much more relaxed, and the eldest grandson Wuji came to express his attitude, which was equivalent to the eldest grandson Empress expressing her attitude. At least Li Shimin doesn't have to worry about them anymore.

At this time, Li Tai asked to see him.

Li Shimin was in a good mood, and he was even happier when he saw Li Tai. He said, "Qingque, come and sit down. ”

Li Tai took out a painting and said, "Father, how do you see the picture of the eight horses copied by your son?" ”

Li Shimin saw that compared with the eight horses handed down from the Zhou Dynasty, Li Tai's Eight Horses not only retained the form and charm of the original Eight Horses, but also the strength of the pen and the fineness of the depiction, which seemed to be better than the original Eight Horses used as a model.

Li Shimin praised; "Qingque, your Danqing technique has improved a lot.

Li Shimin was very happy, and specially headed Li Tai's office: "King Mu and the eight horses will never stop, and they will go overseas to find the long sun and moon." Wuyun looked at the Mother's Palace, and returned with new white hair. And personally inscribed on this painting.

The father and son talked with great interest.

Li Tai said: "Father, the mansion in Luoyang that you gave to your son has been built. When you are free, Erchen invites you to stay. The weather is really good now, and Erchen wants to go to Luoyang to check the house. See if there are any changes that need to be made, so that when the father goes, the residence will be more comfortable. ”

Li Shimin liked Li Tai's filial piety very much, and he was worried that Li Tai would encounter danger when he went to Luoyang. He said, "You just have to have this heart." However, Luoyang still don't go for the time being. ”

Li Tai asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Li Shimin was inconvenient to say to him, so he said: "Don't ask about this matter." Anyway, don't go for now. ”

"Okay. Father, you are busy, and the sons will retire first. Li Tai said.

Li Tai left the Liangyi Hall with a nervous look on his face. He had already received a letter from his eldest grandson, Shunde, and he had come to play Li Shimin's tone. Li Shimin prevented him from going to Luoyang, obviously to prevent the eldest grandson Shunde.

He hurried out of the imperial city, got into a carriage, and drove towards the palace of the king of Wei.

Wei Wangfu.

Li Tai returned to the study and wrote a letter to his eldest grandson, Shunde. After thinking about it, he felt that he could not leave words behind, so he tore up the letter again. He called one of his cronies and said to him: "You immediately go to Luoyang, just say that Your Majesty has become suspicious of him, and let him quickly deal with the affairs of Luoyang." ”

At this time, Changshi Wang Jingwei came, and he was about to enter the door, when he almost collided with the guard who came out of it.

He asked, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

The secret between Li Tai and the eldest grandson Shunde is only known to his original Changshi Wang Cong. Not long after Wang Jingwei arrived, Li Tai would not tell him. "Nothing," he said. You're just in time, let's talk about the expansion of the geographies......"

Luoyang City.

Li You really didn't know what secrets were between Li Tai and the eldest grandson Shunde, and he didn't expect that danger was approaching him. At this moment, he is following his established plan to continue to deal with the eldest grandson Shunde and others.

In the evening, Luoyang Changshi Wei Stork personally came to greet Li You and others and went to the Luoyang Governor's Mansion for a banquet. Li You only took the white tiger and a few guards to follow Wei Stork and the others.

Luoyang Governor's Mansion.

The eldest grandson Shunde has been operating well in Luoyang over the years, and the Luoyang Governor's Mansion has expanded a lot compared to before he came, and the scale is larger than Li You's Qi Palace, and the luxury is not inferior at all.

In order to show respect for Li You, the eldest grandson Shunde invited all the leading figures in Luoyang to come over, and a banquet hall that could accommodate more than 100 people was full.

Li You was given the upper seat, and the eldest grandson Shunde was accompanied by the guest seat on the side. Wei Stork's representative, Changsun Shunde, said that after introducing Li You's leading figures from all walks of life, he introduced Li You. The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Please ask His Royal Highness King Qi to speak to everyone." Everyone is welcome. ”

"Whoa," the hall burst into applause.

Lee Woo said, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your warm hospitality. This is my first time in Luoyang. The capital is bustling and prosperous. The people live and work in peace and contentment, which shows that Luoyang is under the governance of Xue Guogong and other big people. A lot has been achieved.

When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely report the grand scenery of Luoyang and the merits of all the adults to my father.

Well, without further ado. I am delicious, and I can't wait to enjoy the food of Luoyang. ”

"Hahahaha" Everyone has a good impression of this prince's straightforwardness.

After three rounds of drinking, the cabaret show began.

Wei Stork knew that Li You had seen a lot of singing and dancing in Chang'an, and he would not be able to build it in his eyes on ordinary performances. Therefore, he went straight to the hard goods. The first show arranged for Fang Xiaoyu to appear.

Fang Xiaoyu's name is very big, and when she heard that she was going to appear, those who had wanted to witness her demeanor for a long time suddenly became excited, and the hall was "buzzing".

With a pleasant sound of the zither, Fang Xiaoyulian moved lightly and walked out from behind the screen.

I saw her wearing a light blue long skirt, embroidered with white red plums, and a white brocade belt to tie the slender waist that was unbearable. A green silk is twisted into a wishful bun, and only a plum blossom white hosta is inserted. Although simple, it looks fresh and elegant.

At this time, except for the sound of elegant music, the hall was unusually quiet. People's eyes were straight, and there seemed to be an invisible thread that drew their gaze to Fang Xiaoyu's body.

The eyes of the eldest grandson Shunde, Wei Stork and Ma Wengui fell on Li You's body to see how he reacted. 8)
