Li You said: "Big brother, first of all, thank you for speaking up and making decisions for your brother, mother, concubine and uncle. After speaking, he got up and bowed to Li Chengqian.

"Fifth brother, what are you doing here? Our brothers don't like this. Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Li You's act of gratitude and appreciation.

After Li You sat down, he raised his wine glass and said, "Big brother, my brother will give you a glass." ”

"Okay, cheers." Li Chengqian raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with Li You and said happily.

Li You put down his wine glass and said to Li Chengqian: "Regarding Li Tai's affairs, big brother doesn't have to worry.

Li Tai relied on only a little sympathy for his father, and took advantage of his mother's illness to rely on Chang'an. You and my brother don't have to come forward in this matter, just leave it to your uncle.

In a few days, I will also leave Chang'an and not give Li Tai an excuse to stay in Chang'an. ”

Since the eldest grandson Wuji wants to use Li Chengqian, he must ensure that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince and the goal of driving out Li Tai is the same. The eldest grandson Wuji will definitely persuade the eldest grandson Empress not to cause trouble to Li Chengqian. With the wisdom of Empress Changsun, she would not destroy the current stable situation for the sake of Li Tai.

Li Chengqian also considered consulting the attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress towards Li Tai, the eldest grandson Empress couldn't speak, but the eldest grandson Wuji was there, he could ask him to come out and deal with Li Tai without any scruples. Li You's words strengthened his thoughts.

He said: "Fifth brother, you can't leave Chang'an for Li Tai, I still have a lot of things to discuss with you." ”

"Big brother, in order not to leave any excuse for Li Tai, it's better for the younger brother to leave Chang'an. Anyway, there is a telegram now, and we will discuss anything in the telegram. Li You said.

"Fifth brother, for the sake of the eldest brother, alas, okay, I won't say anything." Li Chengqian said gratefully.

After a moment of silence, he said with some uncertainty: "There is another thing I want to ask you." ”

Li You said: "You are still worried that your father will be bewitched by Li Tai's clever tongue, in case your father really left Li Tai in Chang'an, you don't know how to deal with it." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Li Tai is the best at sycophants, and it is very likely that my father will keep him on the grounds that Li Tai is no longer a prince and will not compete for the crown prince." If this is the case, I am afraid that even if my uncle and mother oppose it, there is no way to do it. ”

Li You said: "Big brother, Li Tai will be a sycophant, won't you?" ”

Li Chengqian's personality determines that he will not go to the sycophants for no reason, and even if he wants to shoot Li Shimin's horses, he can't find a suitable excuse. He quickly thought about it in his mind, even if he wanted to sing praises for Li Shimin, he couldn't find any new ways.

He shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "Li Tai's set, I can't learn it, big brother." ”

Li You said: "Big brother, if you want to make a sycophant, oh, no, the younger brother doesn't mean to belittle the father and the eldest brother, the younger brother is just an analogy." Don't blame Big Brother. ”

Li Chengqian said: "Our brothers don't need to scruple. ”

Li You said: "If you want to make a fool of yourself, you must do what you like." Big brother, do you know what your father's greatest wish is? ”

"This?" Figuring out Li Shimin's mind is a necessary lesson for almost all big people. Don't look at Li Chengqian, he also thinks about Li Shimin's thoughts all day long, but if he really asks him to say what Li Shimin's greatest wish is, he really can't say it for a while.

He thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head. said: "Please also ask the fifth brother to teach me." ”

Li You said: "My father has two major wishes: the first wish is to be an emperor through the ages and establish a grand cause that has never been seen before.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the great achievements of expanding the territory have far surpassed the emperors of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the emperors of the previous dynasties.

After taking Goguryeo, the great achievements of my father and emperor reached unprecedented heights. So, after achieving this great goal, what did the father most want to do? ”

Li Chengqian used his brain to think about it carefully, and he had a headache when he thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what Li Shimin wanted to do? He smiled bitterly and said, "Fifth brother, don't embarrass your eldest brother." You know that the eldest brother is stupid, so you should just tell me. ”

Li You inspired him and said: "Speaking of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, how did these two great emperors, who are recognized in history, glorify themselves after they have established great deeds? ”

Li Chengqian's mind searched for the deeds of these two emperors, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that it is Mount Tai Feng Zen?" ”

Li You smiled: "Yes, it is Mount Tai Feng Zen." ”

Li Chengqian stood up suddenly, his leg hit the table, and the cups, plates, dishes and dishes on the table clanged, and he didn't care.

He said: "Taishan Feng Zen, I understand. When his father laid down Goguryeo, what he wanted to do most must be Mount Tai Feng Zen. Let's start preparing now, and surprise my father when the time comes. ”

"Big brother, you're so right. As long as you do this well, you will really get to the itch of your father, and your father will definitely appreciate you. What is the little trick of Li Tai and others? ”

"Fifth brother, big brother, I, I, I really don't know how to thank you." Li Chengqian was really excited, and he said with a trembling voice. Then he bowed deeply to Li You.

It's no wonder that Li Chengqian is excited, he has always hoped that Li Shimin can truly appreciate himself all his life, and hopes to do something that makes Li Shimin happy. But with his intellect and character, he either couldn't think of it, or he fell behind others when he thought of it.

Such a good idea as Mount Tai Feng Chan, such a beautiful thing, Li Chengqian can think of everyone in front of him, and it is definitely a big thing to show his face for Li Shimin in advance.

He said to Li You: "Fifth brother, you must help the eldest brother complete this matter. ”

Li You smiled and said, "Big brother, please send someone to pass the white tiger in." ”

"This, isn't it?" Li Chengqian was even more pleasantly surprised. When he heard this, he knew that Li You was probably already ready.

He hurriedly said, "Quickly pass on the White Tiger." ”

Soon the white tiger came in, he opened the leather bag he was carrying, took out a few drawings from it and handed them to Li You, and then retreated.

Li Chengqian said: "Fifth brother, let's go to the study and say." ”

When he arrived at the study, Li You spread out a drawing on the table, and an rendering of Mount Tai Feng Zen was displayed in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian saw that there was a majestic building standing on the top of the towering Taishan Mountain, and there was a magnificent building not far below this building. The overall effect looks majestic and magnificent.

Li Chengqian immediately liked it. He said: "Such a majestic picture, my father will definitely like it." ”

Li You pointed to the building on the picture and said: "The Taishan Feng Zen sacrifice ceremony is related to how to make the prestige of my Tang Dynasty spread far and wide beyond the four seas, so that all tribes in foreign territories will submit to my Tang Dynasty and be honored to become the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Therefore, the grand ceremony of sealing Zen must be grand, for this purpose it is necessary to build two altars in a radial circle, the top of the light is called the Temple of Heaven, and the lower part is the altar of the earth.

The altar of the earth is also called the square altar, the shape is like a rock, and it takes the meaning of four levels and eight stability. The real meaning is that I wish the Tang Dynasty thousands of generations and be as solid as a rock.

On the mountain is the round altar, that is, the Temple of Heaven. The tower on the altar is towering into the sky and is inlaid with gilt all around. It means that I want to be with the sky, the sun and the moon shine together, prosperous, ancient and modern. ”

"Okay, great." The more Li Chengqian listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but applaud.

Li You said: "Not only that, but the imperial court must send envoys, so that all vassal states, the governor's palace, the prefectures, and friendly countries will send envoys to participate in this grand ceremony. I did the math and there were about 44 missions that could attend the ceremony.

In history, there were only 11 foreign participants in Qin Shi Huang's Zen Ceremony, and only 17 during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the scale of the Tang Dynasty was absolutely unprecedented. ”

"Good, good, good." Li Chengqian was so happy that he applauded repeatedly.

"Also, don't be afraid to spend money in order to prepare for this ceremony. The Tang Dynasty is rich, and the father will never care about money. In short, the more luxurious, the better. Li You said.

Li Chengqian said: "I understand. I'll leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites. "Li Chengqian has a benefit, and he doesn't forget to leave a credit for Yin Hongzhi.

"Brother Chen, thank you for my uncle." Li You arched his hand and said.

Next, Li You spread out several other drawings, which were the construction drawings and the precautions for the Feng Chan ceremony, and the two discussed the details of the specific implementation.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, Li Chengqian decided to keep it a secret for the time being, and the research institute organized the construction, and sent the Flying Tiger Army to guard it. He personally wrote a few handwritten edicts and handed them to Li You, who handed them over to Yin Hongzhi and was responsible for deploying people to organize the implementation.

In order to prevent others from plagiarizing this idea and then making a statement to Li Shimin, Li Chengqian called a historian to record the matter, and wrote a secret file, which was handed over to Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Shi Zhong Wei Zheng for safekeeping and as a witness.

The brothers studied for a whole day, taking every detail they could think of.

Unknowingly, it was late at night, and Li Chengqian invited Li You to stay in the East Palace.

Li You smiled and said: "Big brother, forget it, the younger brother should go back, otherwise, the women in the family will not be happy." ”

Li Chengqian smiled understandingly: "Also, you are away all the year round, and you spend less time with Wanyu's younger brothers and sisters, so you should accompany her well." In this way, the eldest brother will not keep you, and I will send you out. ”

Li Chengqian personally sent Li You out of the gate of the East Palace, and Li You said goodbye and left.

Li Chengqian looked at Li You, and his heart was full of emotion: "Although the fifth brother is a half-brother, compared to a brother like Li Tai, his conduct is simply worlds apart. In this life, I will never let down my fifth brother. ”

When Li You returned to the Northwest Palace, he saw that Xiao Wanyu's bedroom was still lit by candlelight. He walked inside, and as soon as he walked to the middle hall, Xiao Wanyu, who had already received the news, had already greeted him.

"Brother You, you're back." Xiao Wanyu was worried that her husband was overworked, and her face was full of concern.

"Wanyu, if I'm late when I come back in the future, you don't have to wait for me." Li You also feels sorry for his woman.

"No, I'll just wait for you." Xiao Wanyu said affectionately.

At this time, Xiao Wanyu had already unloaded her head full of pearls, and her hair was scattered on her snow-white neck like a waterfall, and the temptation of frank pretense made Li You feel an impulse.

Looking at the jade man in front of him, Li You couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Thanks to the crossing, I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and has power and beauty. In order to maintain all this, I must be careful to walk on thin ice and work hard to ensure that I can maintain the happiness of a foodie until the end of my life. ”

He reached out to hold Xiao Wanyu, hugged her soft body tightly, and kissed her forehead affectionately.

The next morning, Li You overworked last night, made an exception and slept lazily, and when he got up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Wanyu sitting on the edge of the bed with a blushing face, and when she saw Li You wake up, she said happily: "Brother You, you are awake, I will serve you to wash up." After speaking, she said outside: "Go and prepare breakfast, the prince is up." ”

Everyone knows that for the prince, the sky and the earth are big, and the meal is the biggest. Wang Liao, Gao Zhiming and others had been waiting outside for a long time, and when they heard the greeting, they hurriedly went to the restaurant to make arrangements.

After Li You finished washing, accompanied by Xiao Wanyu, he came to the restaurant to enjoy breakfast. Xiao Wanyu didn't eat in the morning, so she waited to eat with Li You. She knew that nothing was better than having dinner with Li You, which made him even happier.

At this time, Yin Hongzhi and Gao Jingming got up early and received a notice from Li You, and they came over together after dispersing.

"Chenyin Hongzhi and Gao Jingming have seen His Highness." The two of them saluted.

"Lord Gao, uncle, come, let's have dinner together." Li You said happily.
