Chapter 811: Outside the Bureau

Eldest Sun Wuji is a very smart person, and before doing anything, the first thing he thinks about is how to protect himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info A few days ago, he gave Li Tai the idea of letting the prince go out of Beijing to take up the post, and made it clear that he would support him, but when Li Shimin asked him in person, he took himself out as soon as possible.

Survival in the court is an art, and the eldest grandson Wuji is undoubtedly the best among them.

Of course, the relationship between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji is not as simple as it seems to outsiders, and the harmony between the monarch and the minister is on the surface, but in fact, the reason why Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are so harmonious is because the power groups represented by the two must complement each other and depend on each other.

Li Shimin represents the imperial family, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and the eldest grandson Wuji represents the Guanlong Group, the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the relationship between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji is a bit delicate, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that he is a confidant of the monarch and the minister, and the eldest grandson Wuji is indeed loyal to Li Shimin, but this "loyalty" is inevitably mixed with a little selfishness. However, in fact, there are irresolvable contradictions and problems between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji.

As the emperor, Li Shimin naturally does not want the power of the family gate valve to be too great, it is impossible for any emperor to accept that the imperial power is divided, let alone accept that the prestige of the imperial power in the local area is even less effective than the words of the local door valve owner, in the early years, the Li family must rely on the Guanlong group to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, this time and that time, now the Li family is sitting firmly in the country, and the family door valve has gradually become a thorn in Li Shimin's side.

As Li Shimin's most relied on right-hand man, the eldest grandson Wuji naturally understood what Li Shimin meant, so he was cautious about being an official and trying not to participate in the sensitive affairs of the Heavenly Imperial Family, especially those related to the Prince.

So at this moment today, when Li Shimin asked about the prince, the eldest grandson Wuji did not hesitate to deny it, standing in the middle and the mud, Li Shimin finally extinguished his doubts.

There is always a process of brewing and fermentation, and the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't need to say anything to arouse suspicion, once the fermentation process is over, it will naturally burst out of its original essence, and it would be stupid to jump out too early.

Li Shimin is naturally also a powerful character who is well versed in court politics, and the topic of the so-called adult prince's appointment to the place happened too suddenly, there must be a deeper inside story behind it, and he is not in a hurry, just like the idea of the eldest grandson Wuji, it will naturally explode when it should break out.

"Since it is the law of the ancestors, it cannot be violated, and there are many adult princes who stay in Chang'an City at present, Wu Wangke, Qi Wangyou, Shu Wangyun, Jiang Wangyun, ......" Li Shimin's eyes were half-closed, and he counted the adult princes who stayed in Beijing, and he didn't feel it, counting them one by one, and found that among the adult princes, except for Li Yun, the most honest Jiang Wang, who took the initiative to leave Beijing as early as three years ago to serve as the assassin of Zhaozhou, all the rest stayed in Chang'an City, and the reason for staying in Beijing without exception was "thin body dyeing disease, not restrained".

Li Shimin was suddenly a little speechless, he was obviously a dragon spirit and a fierce body, why did he give birth to a litter of sick seedlings? It's not scientific!

"Out of Beijing! All out of Beijing! Li Shimin waved his hand fiercely and gave a categorical order: "Tomorrow, I will decree that all adult princes will leave Beijing to take up their posts, and they shall not be delayed for any reason. ā€

The eldest grandson, Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others immediately saluted and praised our emperor Shengming.

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Since I was born in the emperor's family, it is my duty to govern the place for the emperor and benefit the people of Li. ā€

Several important ministers were again a burst of "My Emperor Shengming".

Li Shimin accepted this wave of sycophants with a smile, his expression seemed to be very useful, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This Feng Du ...... Be sure to check it out! Find out the reason for his negligence, and dare to talk about the prince of the Heavenly Family, unless he is a righteous and fearless heartless person like Wei Zheng, there must be an inside story.

Since it has been decided that all the adult princes will go to Beijing to take up their posts, the rest of the things should be handled by Fang Xuanling, including drafting documents in the name of the emperor, replying to the imperial history, and so on.

Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard, and his eyebrows were twisted.

This errand...... It's really hard to accept, especially when it comes to the prince, it's easier to bury trouble for yourself, so there are some specific things, Fang Xuanling must ask clearly, otherwise he will be unlucky in the future if he is negligent for a while.

"Your Majesty, Rong Laochen asked more, Your Majesty just said that all adult princes must leave Beijing to take up their posts?" All'? Fang Xuanling asked cautiously.

Li Shimin nodded: "All, let them all go, pretend to be sick and die in Chang'an one by one, am I really confused?" Roll it all. ā€

Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, and said more and more carefully: "It also includes...... His Royal Highness the King of Jin? ā€

Li Shimin was stunned: "King Jin? ā€

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is sixteen years old this year, and he has also performed the crown ceremony, naturally he is an adult, Zhenguan was appointed by His Majesty as the governor of the state for ten years, when the king of Jin was still young, and the position of the governor of the state is far away, this year he is an adult, so ...... Do you also follow the example of the princes and leave Beijing to take up their posts? ā€

Seeing Li Shimin's complicated expression, Fang Xuanling hurriedly added: "Originally, the old minister should not have asked this question, but His Royal Highness the King of Jin is different from the princes, he is the descendant of His Majesty, and the concubine is different, and the old minister thinks that it is more appropriate to ask clearly and then act." ā€

Li Shimin frowned deeply, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"Jin Wangzhi was raised by me personally, this child is smart and elegant, it is rare to have a filial piety to me, unlike other evil sons, he lost his mother since he was a child, and his temperament is weak, how can I bear to transfer him to Bingzhou, and suffer from the wind and frost?" Li Shimin's tone was implicitly angry.

Fang Xuanling is a very discerning person, and when he saw that Li Shimin was about to go crazy, he immediately said with a sense of humor: "Yes, the old minister understands, except for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the rest of the adult princes must go out of Beijing to take up their posts, and the old minister will draft an official letter from Shangshu Province tomorrow." ā€

Li Shimin snorted heavily, his face slightly pale.

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes flashed, and he came out with a smile to play a round game: "What Your Majesty said is very true, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the King of Wei are all descendants, the King of Wei is in good health, and he specially wants to stay in Chang'an, and the King of Jin is also a son-in-law, and he has just reached adulthood, where can he sort out those complicated official affairs in the place where he goes?" Your Majesty drove away his concubine and left his son-in-law by his side to fulfill his filial piety, which is really reasonable, and people in the world must not be able to say anything......"

After saying a few words, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly looked stunned, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Eldest Sun Wuji's words were unintentional or unintentional, Li Shimin seemed to hear something else, and then he fell into deep thought.

The tone has been set, and it is a foregone conclusion that the adult prince will leave Beijing, Fang Xuanling and the other ministers looked at Li Shimin's thoughtful expression, exchanged glances with each other, and then got up together to leave.

Li Shimin nodded absentmindedly, and the three of them slowly withdrew from the hall.

…………

Leaving the Ganlu Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang walked side by side to the palace gate.

Walking out of dozens of zhang, far away from the Ganlu Palace, Fang Xuanling stroked a long beard and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji meaningfully.

"What is the reason why the auxiliary brother is in a position to deal with today?"

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why did Brother Xuanling say this? The foolish brother is just inconvenient to say much about the affairs of the heavenly family. ā€

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "I've known each other for half a lifetime, you and I both know each other's temperament, why should the auxiliary brother pretend to be confused in front of the old man?" ā€

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Foolish brother is really confused...... Brother Xuanling, don't you dare to buckle a big hat for your foolish brother. ā€

Fang Xuanling naturally didn't believe it, and his gaze at the eldest grandson Wuji became more and more meaningful.

"Your Majesty's mind now, one is to seek immortality through alchemy, and the other is to go east to Goguryeo, he still feels that he is very early to leave the body, I am afraid that he has not thought about the matter of establishing a prince for the time being, the imperial history called Feng Du is now so troublesome, and the matter of establishing a reserve is on the table, and His Majesty can't avoid it if he wants to, but the old man feels that it is very inappropriate to take the initiative to expose this matter, and His Majesty will be furious at that time, and the court may be in turmoil, which is not good for the country......"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled without changing his face: "Brother Xuanling is serious, a royal history is just nonsense, Your Majesty is planning for the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition, and will not make a big deal about this matter, as for the prince, we as courtiers naturally can't say much, besides, Your Majesty is indeed in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is okay to establish the prince a few years later, how can the foolish brother take the initiative to expose the matter of the prince?" ā€

Fang Xuanling sighed, they are all old foxes, no one is lower than anyone else, after two simple sentences of rubbing the edge and testing, Fang Xuanling probably knows it in his heart.

As he walked, he groaned, and inadvertently glanced at Chu Suiliang, who was three or four steps behind, and Fang Xuanling said softly: "That Feng Du...... That's a lot of guts. ā€

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Supervising the imperial history, now everyone takes Wei Zheng as an example, and their courage is naturally not small." ā€

Fang Xuanling's voice became lower and lower: "Your Majesty has agreed to Feng Du's invitation, presumably Feng Du should know that it is enough to stop, right?" ā€

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "This ......, Brother Xuanling has to ask him." ā€

Fang Xuanling snorted: "It's not for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to make so many famous halls, it's almost enough, as he wishes, Your Majesty will compromise...... I hope that this matter will end here, and the matter of the palace will stop at the palace, and the court and the world cannot be implicated. ā€

Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes flashed: "Oh? Your Majesty didn't agree to let the King of Jin leave Beijing just now......"

Fang Xuanling smiled confidently: "The auxiliary brother is still pretending to be confused, how can you and I not know Your Majesty's temperament?" If you don't believe it, bet that before the three of us step out of the palace gate, Your Majesty's will will stop us......"

As he spoke, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

Fang Xuanling showed an expression of "sure enough", and the eldest grandson Wuji also smiled faintly, without the slightest surprise.

A eunuch hurriedly trotted in front of the three of them, gasping and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, all princes and princes are treated equally, and the reign of the Jin Dynasty has reached adulthood, and when the law is all the cases, he will leave Beijing in a few days and go to the governor of the state. ā€

After the eunuch finished speaking, he saluted the three of them, and then went back to resume his life.

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at each other, their expressions were calm, Fang Xuanling's eyes showed a look of enlightenment, his lips spurted a few times, after all, he still sighed and said no more.

There is no need to say it thoroughly, everything that should be understood is understood, and a burst of worry suddenly surged in Fang Xuanling's heart.

I am afraid that the dispute between the prince and the prince is unavoidable, I only hope that the eldest grandson Wuji can control the situation, and do not implicate the dispute of the East Palace in the world, in Fang Xuanling's eyes, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Tai, the king of Wei, are playing with fire, and they are dancing under Li Shimin's butcher's knife.

Chu Suiliang has always been far away from the two, and seems to intend to give the two of them a space to test and compete alone, after the eunuch passed on the will, Chu Suiliang's eyes suddenly stared at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

************************************************************

The will spread quickly, and in less than an hour, the prince's mansions scattered all over Chang'an City already knew Li Shimin's decision.

The young princes didn't think it yet, but the princes who had become old and died in Chang'an City did not leave, but they were so angry that they were thunderous, and while smashing plates and bottles in the palace, the eighteenth generation of women who supervised the ancestors of Yushi Fengdu were all reincarnated by the princes with their mouths, and the position was quite innovative.

For these princes who have been arrogant and domineering since childhood, just scolding their mothers in the palace is naturally unrelievable.

Soon, three or four princes gathered together, and after collectively scolding for a while, taking advantage of the blood surging in their brains, several people gathered to discuss, and simply led their respective subordinates to escort, and hundreds of people went to the gate of Fengdu Mansion.

Of course, after all, it was under Li Shimin's nose, and these princes still didn't dare to do something too out of the ordinary, but they pointed to the gate of Fengfu and scolded the street, and then commanded the guards to throw stones at the gate, spit or something, and the princes said that they had no pressure.

Feng Du knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, so he allowed the princes to shout and insult outside the door, but he never showed up until the princes were too addicted and left angrily and stupidly, and the door of Feng's mansion was still closed.

The prince who was looking for trouble with Feng Du was only one of them, and the other group cleverly grasped the essence of the matter, and hurried to the Taiji Palace as soon as he learned the news, knelt on the ground in front of Li Shimin's knees, and cried one by one, shouting in his throat that his body was too weak, and the climate and customs of the local state capital were not suitable, so he wanted to accompany his father for the rest of his life, and did his filial piety in front of his father's knees, and was reluctant to leave his father for half a step......

Hu made up all kinds of bad excuses that ghosts didn't believe, and tried his lips and acting skills to have only one purpose, that is, to ask his father to take back his order and not drive them out of Chang'an.

A simple decision, Li Shimin didn't expect to see his son's appearance, one is uglier than the other, Li Shimin was patient and persuaded at first, and then became more and more angry, and finally became furious, and ordered the guards to drive all these unsuccessful sons out of the palace, and ordered to get out of Chang'an immediately within a limited time.
