Chapter 829: The Wind Rises
As a servant, the eldest grandson Wuji can make him panic, and it must not be a trivial matter.
Empress Eldest Sun was also a little nervous in her heart, and she asked, "What happened?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji told the eldest grandson queen what happened in the court today. He said: "Sister, this matter is not trivial, this is something that has never happened since His Majesty ascended the throne. His Majesty was already furious, and he didn't attack on the spot, which was the most terrible thing. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Shimin, if he had a seizure on the spot and ordered someone to be punished, as long as he did not kill people on the spot, there was room for the matter to turn around. After a while, he was discouraged, and things were often dealt with lightly.
The thing he was most afraid of was the current situation, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, and this matter was not resolved, which means that he took this matter very seriously, and how to deal with it, it was difficult for others to guess his thoughts.
Empress Eldest Sun knew her Tyrannosaurus rex husband, and she knew that his authority had been challenged, and she was afraid that she had already set her mind on murder. She was a little nervous, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she asked, "Brother, what is your opinion?" ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji had a conflict in the court, he had already begun to think about a solution, and he said: "You hurry up and find a way to calm Your Majesty's anger first." ”
Empress Eldest Sun thought of this too, but she didn't know how to persuade Li Shimin now, she didn't know what Li Shimin was going to do, and it was difficult to grasp the severity of her words.
"The Queen Mother." At this moment, the girl's crisp and pleasant voice came from outside.
Empress Eldest Sun's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Son, come in." ”
A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a small melon seed face and a bright smile walked in, she is Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, nicknamed the son, the little girl who had anorexia and was cured by Li You with a paper airplane, and now she has grown into a bright and moving girl.
"My son has seen his mother and uncle." Li Mingda said.
Among Li Shimin's 21 daughters, he loves two daughters the most, one is Li Lizhi and the other is Li Mingda.
When Li Mingda was born, she was different from other girls, and soon after she let out her first cry, Li Shimin teased her, and she smiled, and reached out to grab Li Shimin's beard, which made Li Shimin laugh. When the children just learned to speak, most of them called their mother first, but Li Mingda's first sentence was to call their father, which made Li Shimin very happy.
"兕" is considered to be another animal alongside the rhinoceros in ancient texts. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "I am buried in the east of Shun and south of Xiangshui." It was like an ox, and it was black, with a horn. "Specifically, it is a small one-horned rhinoceros, which is very fierce and strong.
Li Shimin took his daughter "兕" as his nickname, hoping that his beloved daughter could stay away from all accidents and diseases, be as tenacious as his daughter, and grow up healthily.
Jinyang is the place where the Li family raised troops, and it is the so-called land of Longxing, which is of great significance to the Li family. Li Shimin canonized her as the princess of Jinyang as soon as Li Mingda was born, and his love for her can be seen.
In history, after the death of Empress Changsun in 635, Li Shimin personally raised Li Mingda, and Li Mingda became the only princess who could be verified in history and was personally raised by the emperor.
Li Mingda inherited a great advantage from Empress Changsun, and was always able to slowly resolve Li Shimin's anger when he was angry, and then persuade him. Historically, she has protected many ministers.
Empress Eldest Sun said: "Son, your eldest brother and fifth brother have angered your father today, you have to find a way to persuade your father first." She told Li Mingda the ins and outs of the matter.
Because of his age, Li Mingda and Li Zhi have the closest relationship. Among the other princes, the person she admires the most is the fifth brother Li You. Li Zhi has a good relationship with Li You, and Li Mingda is also very close to Li You, even surpassing Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who are compatriots of the same mother.
Li Mingda said: "The queen mother, the son-in-law knows, and when the father and the emperor come back, the daughter will persuade him." ”
Empress Eldest Sun said, "Okay, you go out first, I still have something to discuss with your uncle." ”
After Li Mingda left, the eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly: "Sister, in this situation, I am most worried about Qingque, if he goes to His Majesty to arch the fire, things will be in trouble." ”
Empress Eldest Sun understood Li Tai, and she said, "You're right, Qingque will definitely not let go of this opportunity, I must talk to him immediately." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Okay, without further ado, I will go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prevent him from making drastic actions and preventing him from further angering His Majesty." The minister took his leave. ”
After the eldest grandson Wuji left, the eldest grandson queen said: "Hai'an, send someone to Furong Garden to pass Li Tai over." ”
Empress Changsun's personal maid Hai An went out in response, but in a moment, she came back, and she said, "Niangniang, Li Jungong has gone to His Majesty the Liangyi Palace." ”
"Hey, he's so fast." Empress Eldest Sun said depressedly.
She stood up and said, "Hai'an, change clothes, I'm going to the Liangyi Palace." ”
Liangyi Palace.
Li Tai knew that Li Shimin was going to put himself in charge of the construction of Yong'an Palace today, and he specially came to the palace to inquire about the news, not long ago, he spent a lot of money to buy a small eunuch, and now, he quickly inquired about what happened in the court today.
Li Tai was secretly happy in his heart and decided not to let go of this opportunity, so he asked to see Li Shimin.
Li Tai asked to see Li Shimin, there were two channels, one was an informal channel, that is, directly through the eunuch, to find Wang De, and Wang De conveyed it to Li Shimin. In the past, when Li Tai was still the king of Wei, he took this path.
Now Li Tai can't go through this road, the eunuchs don't dare to take care of such idle things, and the little eunuch bought by Li Tai doesn't have this face with Wang De.
Therefore, Li Tai's request to see Li Shimin must go through Zhongshu Province, with the consent of Cen Wenwen or Wei Zheng, and then be conveyed to Li Shimin by Zhongshu Province.
After Cen Wenwen received Li Tai's request, he did not ask Wei Zheng's opinion, and went directly to report to Li Shimin. Why would he do it?
With this scene happening in the court today, Cen Wenwen suddenly felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Cen Wenwen was loyal to Concubine Yang and spent a lot of effort in supporting Li Ke. Since Li Ke left Chang'an, the position of the crown prince Li Chengqian has been further consolidated, and he can only regretfully give up the idea of supporting Li Ke to compete for the crown prince.
In this scene that appeared today, Li Chengqian and Li You actually clashed with Li Shimin, and this conflict was still very intense, and Li Shimin's authority was seriously provoked.
The sudden death of Li Chengqian and Li You gave Li Ke a golden opportunity, if Li Chengqian and Li You fell, with Li Ke's prestige and status among Li Shimin's princes, he would basically be the only candidate to take over the crown prince's position.
Cen Wenwen was very excited, even a little ecstatic, he didn't have time to discuss with Concubine Yang and Li Ke, so he decided to add fuel to the fire.
Li Tai asked to see Li Shimin, and Cen Wenwen naturally knew what he was here for, which was much safer than sowing discord by himself. He immediately went to report to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's mood is very complicated, he is waiting for the results of Ma Xuanliang's investigation, and then he will evaluate and judge this matter. He was irritable in his heart, and when he heard Li Tai asking to see him, he was also happy to chat with him and relax. So, he agreed to summon Li Tai.
After Li Tai entered the Liangyi Palace, he walked towards Li Shimin's study.
"Fourth brother."
At this moment, someone stopped Li Tai.
