Originally, Concubine Yang was still grateful that Li You had saved Li Ke. However, Concubine Yin has now become the imperial concubine, and she is actually on an equal footing with her, and her heart is very uncomfortable.

In particular, Concubine Yin's son Li You's performance is getting better and better, while her own son Li Ke is dwarfed. Therefore, Concubine Yang became more and more dissatisfied with Concubine Yin.

Now that Li You is dead, Concubine Yang's heart is balanced. And so, her feminine compassion began to overflow.

She wanted to comfort Concubine Yin, but the relationship between them was not so close. Therefore, she will not take the initiative to go to Guangcui Hall and rush to please Concubine Yin.

Concubine Yang was waiting for Concubine Yin in the Imperial Garden today, wanting to say a few words of comfort to her. At the same time, I also satisfy my superiority of having a son.

But. Concubine Yang was disappointed. She waited for a long time, but she didn't see Concubine Yang.

Guangcui Hall.

The news of Li You's accident will naturally reach the ears of those who care about him the most. At this moment, Concubine Yin, Xiao Wanyu and Murong Ling were teary-eyed and relatively speechless.

At this time, Empress Changsun came, and Li Leling came with her. They came specially to comfort the concubine.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "Sister, what are you doing here?" The news of Li You's accident is just a rumor. No one could watch him really have an accident.

You're so sad now, just in case there's a bad thing. How sad should he be when Li You comes back?!"

Empress Eldest Sun's words made Concubine Yin and the other three much better.

Li Leling also said: "I don't believe that my fifth brother will be in trouble." He has such a great ability, what can't he do?! He was poisoned last time, isn't it a big disaster to not die? He'll be fine. ”

Thinking of Li You's various miracles, Xiao Wanyu and Murong Ling were also full of hope. They were determined to cheer themselves up and must wait until Li You returned safely.

The news of Li You and others' accidents touched the hearts of many people.

Especially Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Liang and others, their sons, but they are also on the grassland. They went to see Li Shimin and asked to find Li You and the others in person.

Wei Zheng was very sad in his heart. He admires Li You very much and believes that he is an indispensable talent of Datang. After he heard the news of the accident, he specially asked for leave and did not go to court. locked himself in the house and felt sorry for Li You silently.

In Chang'an City, both officials and ordinary people felt sorry for Li You.

In the past year, Li You's performance against the sky has brought many changes and surprises to everyone's life. Although some may not like his arrogant personality. However, deep down in their hearts, they still admired the young prince very much.

Among the most uncomfortable people, there is also Li Shimin. The sadness in his heart was not under Concubine Jin Yin, Xiao Wanyu, Murong Ling and others.

In his mind, Li You is loyal, brave, resourceful, and his right-hand man. To some extent, he even developed a psychology of dependence on Li You.

No matter what kind of problem, in the hands of his son, it can be perfectly solved.

He felt very uncomfortable. However, he is very sensible and does not believe in rumors or is blindly optimistic. He has been waiting for news from the great general Li Jing.

In the past few days, Li Shimin's mood has been very sad and even extremely angry.

Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai all begged to see him. They expressed their concern for Li You. However, what they are most concerned about is not Li You's life and death, but the power in Li You's hands.

When Li Chengqian and the other three proposed to take over the research institute, Li Shimin still had a luck mentality, thinking that they really wanted to share their worries. So he offered to let them take over the Northwest Frontier Service and the Grand Voyage plan.

As a result, all three of them pushed off these errands on the grounds that they were not familiar with the border and navigational matters.

Li Shimin was extremely disappointed.

is also his own son, a son risked his life in the icy grassland, for the safety of the Tang Dynasty, is fighting bloodily.

But what are the other sons doing?

Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was a failure. is optimistic about Li Chengqian and thinks that this child is filial. He is also optimistic about Li Tai, because he is smart and falls in love with him. He admires Li Ke and thinks that his temperament is more like himself.

The one he looks down on the most is Li You. He once said that Li You is not as good as a pig and a dog.

However, what is the truth?

Li You, whom he despised the most, turned out to be an indispensable figure in Datang. The other three sons, both in terms of intelligence and character, are simply unsightly compared to Li You.

The next thing made Li Shimin feel even more uncomfortable.

Since Li Shimin did not clearly determine who was in charge of the research institute, the three princes openly competed.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

After the routine reports of the various ministries ended, Chai Shao stood up first.

He said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court implements a policy of appeasing the people and calming down the people, and vigorously develops the economy. Many of the projects undertaken by the Minsheng Research Institute play a vital role in the development of Datang's economy.

Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the Minsheng Research Institute. Now, His Royal Highness King Qi, who is in charge of the research institute, is no longer able to perform his normal duties, and the work of the research institute has begun to be paralyzed.

In order to change the status quo of the unmanaged research institute, the minister suggested that a new prince be selected to preside over the affairs of the research institute.

The minister recommended His Royal Highness the King of Shu. He is usually very concerned about the construction of the research institute and is familiar with the affairs of the research institute, so His Royal Highness the King of Shu is very suitable to be in charge of the research institute. ”

After he finished speaking, Quan Wanji came out to second. Then the people who supported Li Ke came out to second.

Li Tai saw that Li Ke had taken the lead, so of course he didn't do it. After he coughed a few times, Wang Cong stood up first.

He said: "Your Majesty, the research institute is for the study of learning, and the literature hall in the Blood Wei Palace's palace is also for the study of learning, and there are many commonalities between them.

Therefore, the minister elected His Royal Highness King Wei to take charge of the research institute. ”

Then, Li Tai's supporters came out to second.

Li Chengqian really couldn't bear to do this. However, he couldn't watch the research institute fall into the hands of Li Ke or Li Tai. So, he also signaled his men to attack.

Since the long history of the Shu Prince's Mansion Quan Wanji and the long history of the Wei Prince's Mansion Wang Cong have all come out to speak, Zhang Xuansu has also stood up.

He listed Li Chengqian's support for the research institute, and believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was more familiar with the affairs of the research institute and was more suitable to take over the research institute.

Zeng Wenwen persuaded Li Ke, and the eldest grandson Wuji also persuaded Li Chengqian, hoping that they would not compete for the research institute, but they were not persuaded to stop. Because, they are all worried that the research institute will fall into the hands of others.

Just when the three princes in the court were in full swing, Cheng Yanjin came out.

He said angrily, "What are you guys doing here? His Royal Highness the King of Qi and the sons of the ministers and others, for the peace of the Tang Dynasty, risked their lives in bloody battles, and their lives and deaths are uncertain until now.

But what are you doing? Still shameless!?

Cheng Biting Jin is a slippery head, don't look like he usually looks like he is stingy, however, he will never say such offensive words. Now, when it comes to the life and death of his son, he really can't help it.

Zhang Liang was a cautious person and rarely spoke in the court. His son Zhang Guigui's life and death are now unknown, but these people are fighting for power here. He couldn't help but stand up.

He said: "The son of the minister and His Royal Highness the King of Qi are still uncertain, is it appropriate to discuss such a thing now?" ”

Gao Yong's nephew, Qualcomm, who is also on the grassland, also expressed his dissatisfaction. Wei Chigong and others also supported Cheng Yanjin.

Wei Zheng stepped forward. He said angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister is very disappointed. Please take a look, is this our Tang Dynasty's court?

His Royal Highness the King of Qi and others are in danger of life, leading soldiers to fight bloody battles with the enemy, what are these people doing? Is this the ethos that Sadakan rule should have? ”

Yan Li had long been unpleasant to see Wei Zheng. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Wei Zheng.

Everyone knows that Wei Zheng is very close to His Royal Highness King Qin.

That's why he said such irresponsible things. His Royal Highness King Qi is certainly excellent, but he is indeed no longer in charge of the affairs of the research institute. In this case, the institute must have a new prince to preside over it.

Wei Zheng, out of personal feelings, disregarded the overall situation of the imperial court, and completely lost his rational judgment as a supervisor of the imperial history.

The minister believed that Wei Zheng had lost his impartiality and was not suitable to continue to serve as the superintendent of the imperial history.

The minister suggested that Wei Zheng be removed and another impartial person should be selected to supervise the imperial history. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Li Tai's subordinates seconded it.

Li Shimin's face was expressionless, but Wang De, who was beside him, had already seen that Li Shimin's big hand was tightly grasping the armrest of the dragon chair. Due to the excessive force, the green tendons on the back of the hand were revealed one by one.

At this moment, the eunuch on duty in the palace came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the messenger of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Hou Cheng, asks to see you!" ”8)
