Chapter 780: The First Man to Fall into the Pit
Before the completion of the ceremony, it was impossible for Li You to leave Chang'an, so he temporarily resumed the work of the research institute. On the one hand, he stepped up the production of radio stations, and on the other hand, he sorted out scientific and technological materials.
The scientific and technological materials he has written over the years have had a significant impact on the social life of Datang. In the past few years, I have been fighting abroad for a long time, and the time to write scientific and technological materials has become less and less.
Li You decided to use the time he stayed in Chang'an to systematically compile a set of popular science textbooks suitable for the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Wanyu, Du Mei and others were responsible for recording and sorting out the materials provided by Li You, and their lives were very peaceful.
Li Tai lived in the Hibiscus Garden and felt very lonely, after all, he was a belittled person, coupled with his selfish character, those who had followed him in the past all respected him, not even a single person who came to visit him.
It is no wonder that human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Now the crown prince Li Chengqian has become a prisoner, and there is also a northwest king Li You in Chang'an City, they are already against Li Tai, who else is willing to take the risk of offending Li Chengqian and Li You to curry favor with an outdated county prince?
Even the eunuchs and palace maids in the Furong Garden were respectful of Li Tai, and no one wanted to get close to him.
"Hey! The world is hot and cold! It's all snobs. Li Tai said indignantly to his relatives.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, for fear of angering him, he stood aside and did not dare to speak, silently listening to the master's complaints.
Li Tai remembered the attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji towards him, and he hated it very much in his heart, and couldn't help but scold.
If you change to someone else and encounter such a cold reception in Chang'an, it is really better to return to your fiefdom. At least they are in charge of their own affairs, and everyone is looking at their faces, and they can't afford to stay in Chang'an and look up to others.
However, Li Tai is a ruthless person. He was ambitious, and vowed to wait until he made a comeback to take revenge on those who embarrassed him. For this goal, he made up his mind that he must persist in Chang'an and wait until Li Shimin returns.
He believes that with his understanding of Li Shimin and the relationship between him and Li Shimin, one day, he will restore his title of prince, and may even go further in the future.
On this day, Li Tai was really bored and decided to go for a walk on the street. At this time, the streets of Chang'an City were prosperous and crowded. The country's strength and economic prosperity are reflected in the faces of the people, who are full of laughter and self-confidence.
Li Tai was in such an environment, but he didn't feel a trace of joy. He thought about his own situation, and then looked at these hateful people, and couldn't figure out what they had to be happy about.
Li Tai was very depressed, and as he walked, the ghost envoy came to Xingtongfang. Xingtongfang is the closest square to the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Shimin in order to take care of Li Tai, specially set up the Wei Wangfu in this workshop.
After Li Tai left Chang'an, he returned the palace to the imperial court in accordance with the regulations, and the other princes who left Chang'an also complied with this rule. However, Li Shimin did not use these palaces as other means. First, no one in Chang'an can afford to live in these palaces. Second, Li Shimin planned to arrange for the princes to return to the original palace to live temporarily when they returned to the province, so as not to go to the guest house. Therefore, these palaces have been empty.
Li Tai grew up in the Wei Palace, and he has a deep affection for the grass and trees here, and he is also very nostalgic for the days when he lived here. He came here to see where he once lived.
When he walked to the vicinity of the gate of the Wei Palace, he found that there were many craftsmen coming in and out of the gate of the palace, and next to the gate of the palace, there was also a huge plaque that read, "Honglu Temple Welcome Place." ”
Although Li Tai's identity is already a county prince, with his identity, the Wei Wangfu has long since disappeared from him. But when he saw that his palace was occupied, and it was occupied by the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately remembered Yin Hongzhi, and then remembered the annoying Li You.
Li Tai couldn't help but be furious when he remembered that Li You still occupied the Northwest Palace, and his Wei Palace, which was actually occupied by the Ministry of Rites.
He really wanted to reprimand the people in the Ministry of Works, but thinking about his current identity, how could he blame others. However, he refused to give up, and he asked his entourage to try to inquire, and it turned out that the Ministry of Rites used the Wei Wangfu as a reception office in order to receive foreign envoys.
Li Tai stared at the gate of the Wei Palace, stunned for a while, and suddenly became happy, he felt that this was a godsend. He knows Li Shimin too well, and he thinks that as long as he tells Li Shimin about this matter. Li Shimin would think that Li Chengqian, Li You and others deliberately bullied Li Tai while he was not in Chang'an.
Li Shimin will not tolerate such despicable acts. In this way, this incident will arouse Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with Li Chengqian, Li You, and others. Out of sympathy, Li Shimin will also feel more sorry for Li Tai, which lays the foundation for Li Tai's comeback.
Li Tai couldn't wait to return to Furong Garden immediately to write a letter, and then send someone to deliver it to Li Shimin. But after so many years of ups and downs, Li Tai has also become cautious. He didn't take action immediately, but went to Li Ke's Shu Palace, Li Yu's Liang Palace, Li Yun's Jiang Palace, and Li Zhen's Yue Palace? I took a turn and made sure that no one was there.
Li Tai was secretly happy in his heart, he returned to Furong Garden non-stop, wrote a letter, and sent someone to send it to the Marshal Mansion of the Goguryeo Eastern Expeditionary Army overnight.
Soon after, Li Shimin received a letter from Li Tai. Li Tai was very smart, and he sent some manuscripts of calligraphy, paintings, and poems. In the letter, he first expressed his concern for his father, but the communication was not smooth, and he was unable to express his heart to his father. The meaning of these words was that Li Chengqian, Li You, and others did not allow him to use the radio station, so he had to send people all the way to deliver the letter.
Sure enough, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian and others, he thought that Li Tai was his son, so what happened to the use of the radio?
Then, Li Tai asked to leave Chang'an in a letter, saying that his life in Chang'an was difficult, and some snobs saw him being belittled and gave him a look. Then he said that the Wei Palaces were diverted for other purposes, and Chang'an had vacated so many palaces, why did it just occupy the Wei Palace?
Li Tai said that he couldn't stay in Chang'an anymore, so he didn't wait for Li Shimin to come back, and he wanted to return to the fiefdom directly.
In fact, he is retreating as advancing, and he knows that Li Shimin wants to save face, and it is impossible to let him leave. It's just a radical tactic.
Li Shimin was really angry, he sympathized with Li Tai very much, thinking that Li Chengqian and others did not care about brotherhood and did not give him face as a father. So, he sent a harshly worded telegram to Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin thought about it and was still angry, so he also sent a telegram to Li You, asking him not to partner with Li Chengqian to bully Li Tai.
Chang'an City, East Palace.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Fifth brother, Li Tai really jumped out, he himself wants to jump into the pit, find it and be slapped in the face, he deserves it!" ”
Li You said with a smile: "He is that character, selfish, he knows all day long that he is calculating people behind his back, fanning the wind and lighting the ghost fire to sue the black." If you don't dig a pit for such a person, he will dig a pit for himself and jump in. ”
Li Chengqian said with some worry: "Fifth brother, after all, my father and emperor favor Li Tai, and Li Tai's stay in Chang'an will be a big trouble sooner or later." ”
Li You smiled: "Not necessarily. My father used to favor Li Tai, but people will change, and now everyone has changed, and my father's opinion of you and me has also changed, and his opinion of Li Tai will also change. ”
Li You's view is reasonable.
People will have the experience that for childhood playmates, classmates who were once very good, after separation, the good feeling will be preserved in people's memories. This feeling can be maintained for a long time, and even when people get old, they will still miss the innocent friendship of their childhood.
However, it is often the case that when people meet their former friends with good expectations, due to the long period of separation, everyone takes a different path, and their status has changed a lot, and the values that come with it have also changed a lot.
People will soon find out that they are no longer strangers to each other, and they can no longer find the intimacy they once had. In most cases, they don't go on any longer.
After all, Li Shimin and Li Tai have been separated for several years, and Li Chengqian, Li You and others have become better and better, and it may be difficult for Li Shimin and Li Tai to return to the previous state.
Li Chengqian also said confidently: "Fifth brother, then I will call back to my father." ”
The Marshal's Mansion of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
Li Shimin received a telegram from Li Chengqian, in which he explained what had happened and showed the record of the junior high school book province. And said that the reason for using the Wei Wangfu is because it is the closest to Chengtianmen, and it is convenient to arrange the envoys to meet the court.
Li Chengqian specifically pointed out in the telegram that this time the idle palace was used, not only the Wei palace, but also the Shu palace. The Shu Wangfu was used as the address of the School of Ethnic Affairs Management, and the opinion of Li Ke, the king of Shu, was originally sought, and Li Ke also agreed.
The telegram also provided the contents of the telegram exchange between Li Ke and Li Chengqian, as well as the time of the telegram exchange, so that Li Shimin could send someone to inquire about it.
The reason why Li Tai's opinion was not asked was because Li Tai was no longer a prince, and there was no need to ask for his opinion.
Then, Li You also sent a telegram to Li Shimin, which said: "Father, sons, and others are busy all day long, doing things for their father and the court wholeheartedly, alas, don't talk about it." It's all your sons, and it seems that we are not your own. ”
Over the years, Li You and Li Shimin have established mutual trust, and only Li You dares to joke with him, and Li Shimin will not be angry because of this.
Li Shimin thought about the performance of Li You and others over the years, and suddenly felt a little ashamed, and then thought about Li Tai's performance, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin said: "Lizhen, send a telegram to your fifth brother, just say that Lao Tzu is your father, and Cheng Qian is also my biological son." If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, go back and clean you up. ”
Li Li smiled and said, "Father, I am also your own daughter, right?" ”
Li Shimin smiled: "Naughty, you can't learn well with your fifth brother." ”
Li Lizhi grinned and said: "Fifth brother is good anywhere, if your son can be as capable as the fifth brother, you can rest assured." ”
After speaking, she asked: "The fifth brother sent someone to send 12 radio stations, before distributing them, did you ask each ministry to send people to learn newspaper affairs?" ”
Li Shimin said: "Okay, you can look at these things and arrange them." ”
Li Lizhi said: "Father, the minister will go and send a telegram back to the fifth brother first." ”
East Palace.
When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin's telegram, he said with relief: "It seems that my father has really changed. ”
Li You received: "Big brother, my father is wise and martial, he is definitely the first emperor of the ages, and it is our brother's luck to have such a father." ”
Li Chengqian smiled: "I'm looking forward to it now, who will jump out next?" ”
