Chapter 781: Start Early
Since sending someone to complain to Li Shimin, Li Tai has been looking forward to good news from Li Shimin. He thought that Li Shimin should have some gestures of comfort for himself, such as sending someone back to give him some gifts, or sending a telegram to express his comfort.
He carefully analyzed that if Li Shimin sent a telegram to himself, I am afraid that he would not send it directly to Li Chengqian or Li You, but should give it to Shangshu Province and let them forward it to him.
These days, he has constantly conjured up such a picture in front of his eyes, Li Shimin sent a telegram to Shangshu Province, and the words were full of love for himself. Those snobs, especially the eldest grandson Wuji, will secretly regret it when they see this telegram, and they will definitely change their attitude towards themselves.
He imagined that the eldest grandson Wuji came to apologize to him, and what kind of attitude he should take to treat him. But he also thought about it, maybe the eldest grandson Wuji was embarrassed to deliver this telegram in person. Even then, with this telegram, those snobs will change their attitude towards themselves.
As for Li Chengqian and Li You, they will definitely be reprimanded by Li Shimin, and they will definitely be gray when they see themselves.
Li Tai lived in Furong Garden, and every time he went to visit Empress Changsun, he was reluctant to meet Li Chengqian and Li You, lest he look at their proud villains. But now, he was looking forward to meeting them and seeing the embarrassed expressions of their villains after being slapped in the face.
On this day, Li Tai came to the dormitory of Empress Changsun, and happened to meet Li Chengqian and Li You coming out, he deliberately stepped forward, saluted and said, "Brother Chen has seen the prince's brother." ”
Li Chengqian said expressionlessly: "Excuse me." ”
Li Tai greeted Li You again and said, "Fifth brother." ”
Li You also said lightly: "Fourth brother." ”
Without waiting for Li Tai to say anything more, Li Chengqian and Li You left directly. They discussed the affairs of the court as they walked, and the two of them talked and laughed and walked away.
Li Chengqian and Li You's performance did not look like they had just been reprimanded. Li Tai was very depressed, he saw that Li Chengqian and Li You were discussing national affairs, and he, a prince who used to have a very high status, was now sitting in the hibiscus garden and ignored him, and he suddenly felt a desolation in his heart.
Li Tai suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he didn't want to see Empress Changsun anymore, so he turned around and walked towards his dormitory.
For the next period of time, Li Tai did not look forward to the eldest grandson Wuji, and he didn't even see the people sent by the eldest grandson Wuji. The eunuchs and palace maids in the Furong Garden still respected him, and no one took the initiative to get close to him.
Li Tai didn't understand why Li Shimin hadn't changed since he saw the letter he had sent, and he hadn't given him any news.
Soon after, Li Tai got the news that the Ethnic Affairs Management College presided over by Li Chengqian had opened in Li Ke's original Shu Palace. Only then did Li Tai realize how ridiculous it was that he complained to Li Shimin because of the occupation of the Wei Palace.
He hated why he didn't make the effort to inquire clearly, and he also hated that he had no resources and connections in Chang'an, and no one came to provide him with this news. He hated Li You and Li Chengqian who caused his current predicament even more.
He was unwilling and decided to continue to endure the humiliation and burden, and wait until Li Shimin came back.
Over the years, Li You has been careful to operate, and now Li Chengqian has grown up, and Li Ke and other adult princes have left Chang'an. When Li Wang, Li Yun of Liang, Li Yun of Jiang, and Li Zhen, King of Yue, left Chang'an, Li You, in the name of Li Chengqian, prepared a plan for them to develop the local economy, and marked the location of local mineral deposits and other resources.
Li Chengqian also specially met with them before their departure and said that he would give them strong support in all aspects. In short, they now maintain good relations with both Li Chengqian and Li You.
Li You carefully considered the whole situation, and felt that the biggest obstacle in the future was still the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, Li You decided to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle without revealing anything, weakening their strength little by little.
In the Zhenguan Dynasty, with Li Shimin here, the eldest grandson Wuji and others could not make waves if they wanted to. Now that Li Chengqian is gradually out of their grasp, what measures will the eldest grandson Wuji and others take?
Li You found that there was still a major hidden danger, and he was about to start working on solving it now.
Northwest Palace.
Li Zhi, the king of Jin, has a delicate face, looks more with the eldest grandson queen, he has a gentle personality, an open heart, filial piety to his parents, respect for teachers, love for his younger siblings, talk and behave politely, and is recognized as a good child.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both liked Li Zhi very much, and Li Chengqian, Li You and other brothers were also willing to care for him.
Li Zhi usually studied in his palace, and his teacher Yu Ningzhi was very strict with him, had a strict work and rest system, and abided by the imperial court's rest and bath system like the officials of the imperial court. Not to mention anything else, as far as strict self-discipline is concerned, other princes can't do it, Li You can't do it, and even those princesses can't do it.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both liked Li Zhi's calmness and self-discipline, and used him many times to educate other princes and princesses.
In fact, everyone doesn't really know Li Zhi, and he also has a lot of blood, obsession and even madness under his stable appearance. Historically, in his life, there have been two things that he did to the extreme, as evidenced by this.
The first thing was to marry his stepmother Wu Zetian and make him the queen, during which he experienced many hardships and obstacles, and even preferred to give up the throne for this reason.
The second thing is that in order to fulfill Li Shimin's wish, he continued to launch a war against Goguryeo, and no matter how many difficulties he encountered, he always persevered and finally destroyed Goguryeo.
In fact, the historical Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was also a very talented emperor, who continued the glory of Zhenguan's rule and brought it to new heights. In history, the reason why he left the impression of being politically weak was only because he met a Wu Zetian who had a higher political skill and had reached the level of a demon.
The situation in which the eldest grandson Wuji and others controlled the government was mainly because Li Zhi controlled him in the early days of his ascension to the throne. Out of his understanding of history, Li You decided to guide Li Zhi and eliminate the biggest reliance on the eldest grandson Wuji and others to make waves in advance.
So, Li You began to look for an opportunity to win Li Zhi to Li Chengqian's side.
Among the brothers and sisters, Li Zhi admires Li You the most, but they have a big age difference, they don't play together, and they don't have much contact before. Now, Li Zhi has reached the age of 14, and he has more contacts with Li You.
"Fifth brother." Li Zhi saluted and said. Today is the day of rest, and he specially came to visit Li You.
"Pheasant, I'm looking for you for something. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea. Li You said enthusiastically.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhi didn't care about drinking tea, and hurriedly asked.
Li You said: "Have you heard about Di Renjie and them?" ”
Li Zhi said enviously: "I heard that they went to Wuwei and quickly cracked a big case that had been backlogged for many years. ”
Li You said with a smile: "Di Renjie They are students in school, although your current situation is not studying in Taixue, you can be regarded as a student in school." The so-called traveling thousands of miles does not mean traveling, but to do things and increase one's talents in practice.
How about it, do you want to make a career? ”
Li Zhi studied in the palace all day long, and he was very well-behaved because the people around him praised him. Therefore, he had to show this even more. In fact, the impulse and desire to make contributions were very strong in his chest.
He asked, "Fifth brother, what do you want me to do?" ”
Li You smiled: "What I asked you to do." Compared with what Di Renjie and the others did, it was much bigger, and it was much more meaningful to the imperial court. ”
"Fifth brother, tell me quickly, what the hell are you asking me to do?" Li Zhi was a little excited.
Li You stood up, went to the bookshelf, took down a picture scroll, and unfolded it on the table. Li Zhi had already stood up and gathered at the table to watch.
Li Zhi saw that this was a garden map, with flowers and greens painted on it, and different areas were standardized with colors, which were written in the cold zone, temperate zone, subtropical zone and tropics, etc., and some typical plants in these areas were painted on it, many of which Li Zhi had never seen.
Li Zhi asked with some puzzlement: "Fifth brother, how can plants from different regions be planted together?" ”
Li You explained his idea to Li Zhi in detail.
Li Zhi asked a little worriedly: "Can I do such a big project?" ”
Li You smiled: "Who are you?" He is the son of the wise and martial father, and he is the younger brother of my Li You, who can you do it? ”
Li Zhi was obviously moved, and he still asked with some concern: "But, will the father and the queen mother agree?" ”
Li You smiled: "You just say do you want to do it?" If you want to do it, you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
Li Zhi clenched his fists and said, "Fifth brother, I'll do it." ”
Li You smiled and said, "That's good, let's eat together at noon, and let's go to see the prince's brother in the afternoon." ”
Liangyi Palace.
In the afternoon, Li You and Li Zhi asked to see Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian, Li You, and Li Zhi studied for a long time, reached a consensus, and decided to start the project immediately.
Li Chengqian said: "In order to better train the ninth brother, I have a suggestion, do you think this will work?" ”
