Chang'an is still calm on the surface, and the only recent major events that have been talked about by the subjects of Chang'an are the bastard words said by the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the news that Li Shimin's leg was broken. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The surface is calm, but under the surface of the court, there is a turbulent dark tide, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and other important ministers are called into the Taiji Palace every day, and the rest of the courtiers are connected in series, discussing, and the courtiers who originally belonged to the prince's camp have wavered.

What shakes these people is not only the prince's bastard words, but the bad consequences derived from saying these bastard words, before anyone stands in line, the first thing to compare is, in fact, the same as the principle of buying things, the so-called "shop around", feel that which one is the most real and the most promising, they are willing to pay money, and the same is true for standing in line, the prince Li Chengqian does not need to express anything, he only needs to show his identity, which is enough to make many people make their position clear.

If nothing else, he is the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, where else can he stand if he doesn't stand on his side?

In contrast, Li Tai is much more difficult to win people's hearts, his name is not right, his words are not good, it stands to reason that he should not even have the idea of seizing the East Palace, but unfortunately, Li Shimin's unreserved and bottomless spoiling gave him the illusion, maybe Li Tai was originally a good boy, but Li Shimin's spoiling fostered his ambitions, and gradually, this good boy also changed his taste, and began to unscrupulously want to replace his brother.

In Li Su's eyes, Li Tai is a tragic figure, because he lives in a very realistic illusion without knowing it, like a monkey fishing for the moon, and like a father chasing the sun, it seems to be within reach of his eyes, but when he stretches out his hand, it is an illusion, who can imagine that the next prince candidate has a big upset?

At this moment, Li Tai was still excited, he was very sure that he was getting closer and closer to the throne of the crown prince, this was a golden opportunity! Because of Li Su's calculations, the prince has been pushed to the forefront, and he only needs to gently press the last straw on the prince's back, and this behemoth will fall to the ground with a bang, and he will never be able to turn over.

Li Su also smiled, only he knows best who is the final winner in the entire Tang Dynasty, this is a top secret, even if he tells Li Tai at this moment and tells him to stop being busy, even if the prince falls, it will not be your turn, Li Tai's reaction must have been scoffing, the desire for power and ambition have existed for so many years, and the fly camp dog has been fighting for so many years, success is only one step away from him, at this critical moment, how could he believe Li Su's words?

So Li Su chose to remain silent.

People are such cute animals, when they are about to be planted into a pit, if someone next to him pulls him and tells him that there is a pit in front of him and you don't jump, most people usually don't believe it, and often they have to really fall into it, and they will believe that this is really a pit.

"Remorse" is basically unique to people who are planted in the pit like this.

"Now that the court is talking about it, the prince is immoral, and the father has repeatedly summoned the eldest grandson's uncle, Fang Xiang and others into the palace to discuss matters, presumably he has moved the idea of easy storage, Tai begged his son to teach him, what should I do next, so that my father can become more and more firm in his heart of easy storage?" Li Tai bowed for a long time, his round body bent over quite hard, and his face turned red when he straightened up.

Li Su said with a smile: "Your Highness's palace is full of strategists, all of them are people with both talent and virtue, what should Your Highness do, they will give you the right answer, you ask me a lazy and sparse person, but it is a fate to ask for fish." ”

Li Tai stomped his feet: "Oh, Brother Zizheng, you are not reserved, when is this!" Don't I know what the goods are in my palace? They will only persuade me to hurry into the palace and dangle in front of my father's eyes, and by the way, tell the prince that he oppresses me a lot on weekdays, etc., so that my father becomes more and more disgusted with the prince, can I use this stupid method? ”

Li Su sneered: "What kind of people have you recruited, all of them are experts who have fallen into the well." ”

Li Tai sighed: "I am the prince, I am just the prince, before the situation is completely clear, how many real talents are willing to stand on my side?" I'm not afraid of Brother Zizheng's jokes, although there are many strategists in my palace, most of them are just nerds and mediocre people who read dead books. ”

Li Su thought for a while and said: "If Your Highness really wants to take the position of the East Palace, at this time, you must not act rashly, Your Majesty may have the heart of Yi Chu, and you may be hesitating at this time, if you choose to jump up and down at this time, it will definitely backfire, and the intention of seizing the heir is obvious, and in the eyes of Your Majesty, I am afraid it will be harmful to you." ”

Li Tai straightened up, with a happy face: "Listening to your words, I really deaf and benefited a lot, according to the meaning of Brother Zizheng, at this time, I simply forbear, and look at the changes with cold eyes?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "No, at this time, you should show your majesty, stand firmly on the side of the prince and speak, from brotherhood to the shaking of the country, saying how diligent the prince used to be diligent and kind, and now there are occasional gaffes, but it is just drunken talk, and I advise your father not to punish him severely for small mistakes,...... In short, this time you should be the prince's hardcore confidant, and stand on his side wholeheartedly to say good things and good words. ”

Li Taixiao's eyes drooped, and he was suddenly a little unhappy: "Do you want me to speak for him?" Brother Zizheng, don't make trouble, the situation is very good, the prince was almost pushed down in one step, if I speak well for him, if my father really listens to it and no longer cares about the prince's fault, what should I do? ”

Li Su sighed: "If you want to advance and retreat first, if you want to take first, Your Highness, your father is the heavenly khan who is worshiped by everyone, not a soft-eared root, he acts very assertively, and it is impossible to sway because of a word from others, you just show your attitude, show your 'good' side to your father, and let your father take a higher look at you......"

As he spoke, Li Su became a little impatient: "Your Highness, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused?" Can we continue talking? ”

Li Tai is a smart person after all, in fact, after Li Su finished speaking, he roughly understood the meaning, and at this moment, after thinking about it carefully, the two little mung bean eyes couldn't help but light up, the eyes were too small, and the brightness was limited.

"'If you want to advance and retreat, if you want to take first', Brother Zizheng is talented!" Li Taizan said.

Li Su blinked: "Your Highness understands what you mean?" ”

"Got it!" Fat head strain.

Li Su continued: "Also, in the open, you are on the table, and in the dark, you still need to do something else, such as ...... Add another layer of fire to this matter, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take another step towards the edge of the cliff......"

Li Tai hurriedly said: "Brother Zizheng, say ...... quickly"

Li Su said leisurely: "Do you remember the case of my father-in-law being framed and imprisoned?" Although my father-in-law is acquitted, there must be an end, I can't say that if I let people go, it should be nothing, my father-in-law has suffered a lot in prison......"

"What does Brother Zizheng mean......?"

**************************************************************************

Li Su only plans to be a spectator, at least a spectator in the early stage, the spectator has nothing else to ask for, just hope to be more lively, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Li Tai was taken badly, it was not a good thing before, but after contacting Li Su twice, he developed a brain hole, so the incident gradually developed in the direction that Li Su wanted.

The bad idea that two smart bad people came up with together is, of course, the kind of bad that is so bad that there are sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet.

Walking out of the Wei Palace, Li Su couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fresh air of Chang'an City, the air was mixed with the noise and noise of the market, and there was even a trace of the smell of horse manure wafting from nowhere, but Li Su felt that the air was much stronger than the Wei Palace.

In the palace of the king of Wei, Li Su's breath was full of conspiracy, depressed, dull, every sentence seemed to carry a thick sense of calculation and strategy, the essence of human beings' insidious and cunning deception was vividly displayed in the palace, all of them were negative energy, in contrast, Li Su was willing to smell the smell of horse manure a few more times, after all, horse manure is also horse manure in the sun.

The sky is a little overcast, and it is about to rain, maybe the last rain of the summer, and it looks like autumn is about to begin.

Li Su sighed, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

How many years have you had a grudge with Li Chengqian? Maybe it's the eleventh year of Zhenguan, some people say that human nature is evil, and kindness is forgotten in an instant, but subtle hatred can be remembered for a lifetime, but Li Su really doesn't remember what year the grudge was concluded with Li Chengqian, think about it carefully, it seems that the reasons for the resentment are a little vague, but, inexplicably, the hatred between him and Li Chengqian is becoming more and more irresolvable, as if there is a pair of big hands behind him deliberately pushing him to the opposite side of Li Chengqian, and since then they will not share the sky and stand together.

Until now, Li Su still doesn't have much hatred for Li Chengqian, except for the assassination of his father, which made him really angry, and he retaliated back regardless of it, the rest of the grievances are really not worth mentioning.

However, the hatred between him and Li Chengqian is still irreconcilable after all, human nature is so strange, obviously there is not much hatred, but they just want to ******** each other to death. It's just because Li Su knows in his heart that he must not let Li Chengqian continue to be the prince, because he doesn't know if history will change the track because of him, so Li Su must overthrow him, otherwise once history changes, Li Chengqian really becomes the emperor, it will be the end of Li Su's family, and Li Chengqian will never allow his enemies to jump under his nose.

The struggle has come to this point, putting the other party to death has nothing to do with the grudges of the past, it is very simple, either he dies or I die, the situation determines friends and enemies, the people who step into the court are involuntarily, interests are above all else, even if there are no grievances and reasons, the shot must be killed, if he is not killed, he will kill me, although the scenery of the spire is beautiful, but it is cruel to the heart.

This time, Li Chengqian should also fall.

Standing quietly in front of the Wei Palace, Li Su was stunned, and I don't know how long it took, Fang Lao Wu woke him up.

"Master Hou, are you going back? It's raining, we have to hurry up if we want to get home......"

Li Su looked up at the sky, and then sighed: "Yes, it's about to rain, I hope it will be a bright future after the rain." ”

Fang Lao Wu grinned and said: "Whether it rains or not, it's Lang Lang, who dares not Lang Lang, Lao Tzu will split him alive." ”

…………

Tai Chi Palace.

Pei Yan walked on the road to the Wanchun Palace.

Pei Yan is in his forties, his father was one of the heroes who followed Gaozu Li Yuan to fight the country, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Yan Yin father's grace and entered the official, the court has been up and down for 20 years, and now he is the right counselor doctor in Zhongshu Province, specializing in admonishment, court discussion, and sealing affairs.

Pei Yan's steps are very light, but every step is decent, as if measured with a ruler between steps, the distance between each step is exactly the same, just from his stride posture can be seen, how strict and self-disciplined he is in life.

His expression is always solemn with no smile, and even chatting with people is as if he is discussing military affairs, and every word he says has to be carefully thought about before speaking, so the court has been up and down for twenty years, because of his character, Pei Yan has not made many friends, but he has no enemies.

Entering the Wanchun Hall today, Pei Yan intends to perform his duties, and the main responsibility of the "right counselor" is to admonish.

Li Shimin reviewed the recital in the Wanchun Palace.

Wanchun Hall is next to the Lizheng Palace, the Lizheng Hall is the office of the prime ministers of the three provinces, and Li Shimin's review is more casual, sometimes in the Ganlu Palace, sometimes in other palaces, the same is true for summoning courtiers, for the closer courtiers, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the old killer generals and Li Su and others, they are basically summoned in the Ganlu Palace, as for other courtiers, there is no such honor, Pei Yan is like this, this kind of grandmother does not love his uncle's character, causing Li Shimin to not be close to him, summoned him and chose to be in the Hall of Ten Thousand Springs.

Walking to the outer pillar of the Wanchun Palace, Pei Yan straightened his clothes, and then raised his voice: "Minister, the right counselor Pei Yan, please visit Tianyan." ”

After a while, a eunuch walked out of the hall and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty Xuan Pei Yan has entered the palace." ”

Pei Yan thanked him, stepped into the palace gate with small steps, and saw Li Shimin reviewing the recital without raising his head, Pei Yan bowed and saluted, and said, "Minister Pei Yan, please see Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin put down his pen and rubbed his forehead.

Recently, I have been very annoying, there are too many troubles, the flood situation in various places at the end of summer, the Yellow River broke the embankment again, the coastal states and counties were in a heavy disaster, Datang was busy from internal affairs to foreign affairs, and what was even more worrying was that there was also a big bastard at home with the first number of Tianzi, but this bastard was the prince who was canonized by himself, and he moved the heart of Yi Chu several times, but he was persuaded by the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling and others, and what he said was a scene, what "etiquette cannot be abolished", what "waste Changli is not in line with etiquette", the words are all persuaded to rest Yi Chu's heart, of course, Li Shimin also heard the meaning of everyone's words.

You were originally the second child, and you inherited the throne by killing your brother and killing your brother, and everyone in the world remembers this matter and stares at you, and now you want to abolish the eldest son and set up another prince, do you want to die? Do you still want to play with such a big country?

This reason is bigger than the sky, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling didn't say much, after all, the Tianjia Yichu is too sensitive, there is thunder everywhere, Rao is a half-life monarch and a half-life friend, and they don't dare to say anything about this sensitive topic.

But Li Shimin listened, and Yi Chu's thoughts were suppressed again. He has already brought a bad example to the world, and the next Tang Emperor must be the eldest son, which cannot be easy.

Rubbing his aching temples, Li Shimin raised his eyes and saw that Pei Yan was still bowing, so he smiled and said: "Pei Qing is exempt, what is the important matter when you see me today?" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on Pei Yan's face, and then his expression quickly regained firmness, and he took out a book from his arms and held it high above his head.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

The eunuch in the palace immediately took over the song and held it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin smiled and took the recital, opened it casually, but said in his mouth: "Can't you play it directly if there is something?" I have to write it so formally, I really ......."

The voice suddenly paused, Li Shimin had already seen the words on the song clearly, his expression couldn't help but stagnate, and then he showed a somewhat strange expression.

After carefully reading the music from beginning to end, Li Shimin's eyelids jumped a few times, then closed the music and sighed: "Why did Pei Qing go to this book?" ”

Pei Yan said awe-inspiringly: "Manage the injustices in the world." ”

"The case of Huang Shoufu in Dongshi, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have been closed, and the only thing left is the bribery case of Han You, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Pei Qingxuan reopened the case at this time, what is it for?"

Pei Yan said: "The conclusion of the case does not mean that you can sit back and relax, there are still villains in the world who are at large, except for the evil, who can say that the case is really over?" ”

Li Shimin rubbed his temples, only to feel that his head hurt even more.

The counselor in front of him is a good man, what can I do with him? It was Li Shimin's instruction to end this case at the beginning, everyone is not stupid, of course they know that there is a wide range of involvement behind this case, a criminal servant can only be regarded as cannon fodder, and if you dig deeper, I really don't know what kind of earth-shattering characters will be dug up, for an ordinary homicide case, is it necessary to make a good court turbulent?

So Li Shimin decisively shouted to stop, it was enough to find out Han You's step, Huang Shoufu's family suddenly retracted their confession and said that they had drunk the medicine by mistake, and the monarchs and ministers of the court also very cleverly acquiesced to this fact.

This is the heat, whether it is steaming and frying, what is particular is a fire, after the heat, a pot of vegetables will be paste, and everyone can't eat it......

But this damn Pei Yan, today's recital not only shook off the King of Han, but also implied that the prince of the East Palace was related to the case.

This is very annoying, forcing Li Shimin to burn this fire more vigorously, and burn a pot of vegetables.

"This case ends here, Pei Qing doesn't need to investigate further, even the family members of the bitter lord said that the bitter lord himself mistakenly took the medicine of Chong Ke and died, and took the initiative to withdraw the complaint, the so-called people do not raise it, the officials do not investigate, why did Pei Qing turn over this case again?" As he spoke, Li Shimin glared at him fiercely.

I hate it, I hate it when I look left and right! Don't you think I'm not too much to do, not enough to be annoyed? I was forced to add another one.

Pei Yan refused to compromise at all, and his attitude of death was quite charming.

"Your Majesty! This case is not only a matter of the bitter lord, but a matter of the court! Your Majesty, the King of Han dominates Chang'an, and the slaves oppress the good, and there is more than this case, the minister has this here, and he has counted the evil deeds of His Royal Highness the King of Han for many years, please take a look at Your Majesty! ”

As he spoke, Pei Yan took out another piece of music from his arms and held it above his head with both hands. (To be continued.) )
