|||->-> Eldest Sun Wuji first told Empress Eldest Sun about his meeting with Li Shimin, Empress Eldest Sun felt very happy, she said: "Your Majesty is really very tolerant, we should all feel lucky." ”

Li Shimin was confronted in public, and he was able to maintain a relatively calm attitude in anger, which is really a blessing for the society of the country, and it is also a blessing for the relatives and ministers around him.

The eldest grandson Wuji then talked about the results of the discussion he had discussed after meeting Li Chengqian and Li You, and said, "Sister, do you think such a result is acceptable? ”

Empress Changsun sighed and said: "Brother, in the past few years since Qingque left Chang'an, the court and China have indeed been quiet and peaceful, such a situation is very good for the court, for everyone, including for Qingque, with my understanding of Li Chengqian and Li You, they will not be embarrassed by Qingque in the future." However, I'm just worried that the blue finch doesn't think so.

Qingque is not a peaceful person, and His Majesty is fond of him, and I am very worried that this matter will cause trouble. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was also very worried, and he said: "Sister, I also think that this matter may not be settled like this, this matter was provoked by Qingque, and in this current situation, he will definitely continue to provoke His Majesty." ”

Empress Changsun said with some annoyance: "This matter is actually to blame Your Majesty, if he could have a bowl of water among the children, he would not have given birth to so many incidents." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hates Li Tai very much, but Li Tai is the son of the eldest grandson queen after all, and he is not good at saying much as an uncle. He scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Sister, I can't say anything about Qingque, even if he says it, he won't listen." You still have to persuade him a little more, and don't let him continue to stir things up.

Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said, "I'm afraid he won't listen to my words." Yesterday I did not let him go to see His Majesty, and I specially left him with me, and he promised to do so. But after he left, he went to His Majesty's place. ”

After saying that, she shook her head depressedly.

The brother and sister discussed for a while and decided to continue to do Li Shimin's work and strive to achieve a result discussed by everyone.

Yicui Palace, the dormitory of Concubine Yang.

After Cen Wenwen finished saying what he had done, he said: "Niangniang, the minister did not ask for the opinions of you and His Royal Highness the King of Lingnan, and did the above things without authorization, and asked Niangniang to punish him."

If there is any trouble in this matter, the ministers will bear it with all their might, and will never implicate Niangniang and His Royal Highness the King of Lingnan. ”

Concubine Yang Niangniang's bloodline is noble and intelligent, and she has lived in a complex environment like the palace for so many years, and she has already cultivated to the point of becoming a fox immortal. After this incident, she also realized the opportunity contained in it, and was thinking about how to seize this opportunity.

It just so happened that Li Ke was going to come back to participate in Li Shimin's birthday ceremony and Mount Tai's Zen Ceremony, and she asked Empress Changsun for instructions under the pretense of arranging what happened after Li Ke came back, so that Cen Wenwen could come to the harem to discuss.

Cen Wenwen's feelings for Concubine Yang, how can Concubine Yang not know in her heart? For so many years, she has been grateful to Cen Wenwen, and the relationship between the two has long surpassed the feelings of monarchs, brothers and sisters, and lovers, and has been sublimated to a heart-to-heart emotion.

Concubine Yang said gratefully: "Lord Cen, I have always understood your affection for me, not only do I know, Ke'er also treats you as the closest elder." In His mind, you are His Father. When he returns this time, I will let him officially worship you as his father. ”

"Niangniang......" Cen Wenwen heard such heartwarming words, and immediately felt that all his efforts were worth it. He fell to his knees in gratitude, tears streaming down his face.

"Hurry up." Concubine Yang was also very moved, with tears in her eyes, she personally helped Cen Wenwen up.

Northwest Palace.

To be honest, Li You has no bottom line in his heart about what this incident will eventually turn into. Because this matter involves too many people and things, Li You does not have the final say on this matter. This is probably the most helpless thing he has encountered since he traveled to the Tang Dynasty.

Many major events in history originated from an unexpected event, and then the situation got out of control, resulting in irreparable consequences.

On June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand and his concubine visited the area, where they were assassinated, which became the trigger for the outbreak of World War I. As a result, 38 countries entered the war, and more than 20 million people were wounded.

During the Tianbao period, the powerful Tang Dynasty was invincible, and at the most glorious moment, because Yang Guozhong framed An Lushan, which led to the Anshi Rebellion, and began to go downhill.

This incident was also sudden, and perhaps Li Shimin would no longer ask Li Chengqian that day, and the matter would have passed. But after all, it happened, and if it is not handled well, it may lead to a bigger incident.

Especially now, with the embassies of dozens of countries gathered in Chang'an, the handling of the incident will have a significant impact on the political arena of the Tang Dynasty and even the world pattern.

Li You felt extremely stressed this time.

I'm really afraid of something. A sudden, or premeditated, event happened again.

Today is the second day of the suspension of the early dynasty, and an official in his 50s who looks honest and honest went to see Li Shimin on order.

"Minister Xu Jingzong, see Your Majesty." The person said respectfully.

Xu Jingzong is a powerful person, he is the son of Xu Shanxin, a servant of the Sui Dynasty, and a descendant of Xu Xun, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He has made meritorious contributions to the promotion of Wu Zetian as the queen, and has served as the right servant, worshipping the prince and young master, Tongping Zhangshi, and is a very popular minister.

At this time, Xu Jingzong served as a scholar in the middle school, responsible for editing the "Wude Record" and "Zhenguan Record", he had no position and no power, seeing that he was getting older, he was unwilling to retire like this, and he was always looking for opportunities.

Now that the opportunity has finally come, he can't help but be overjoyed and decided to seize this opportunity.

After reading the printed sample of "Martial Virtue Record" presented by Xu Jingzong, Li Shimin looked at this old minister who was about the same age as himself, and said to him: "Xu Jingzong, you are old and serious, you are conscientious and conscientious, I trust you very much, and now I will give you a matter, I hope it can be properly handled." ”

When Xu Jingzong listened to the task given by Li Shimin, he was secretly excited in his heart.

It turned out that it was January 6th, and Li Shimin's birthday was January 28th, seeing that his birthday was coming, the eldest grandson queen, harem concubines, princes and princesses and ministers were all preparing for his birthday, one of which was to publish a birthday article in the "Datang Daily". According to the unified arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, the birthday celebration article will officially start to be published on January 28 and will be arranged until the end of the Shangyuan Festival.

This morning, Cen Wenwen transferred a piece of Li Tai's recital, which said that Li Tai wrote a poem for Li Shimin's birthday, which had already been submitted to the "Datang Daily", Li Tai suddenly thought of a better poem and wanted to revise it, so he sent someone to retrieve the manuscript and wanted to revise it before publishing. However, he sent people to ask for the manuscript, but he could not find the manuscript, and the people in the "Datang Daily" said that they had not received Li Tai's manuscript at all.

Li Tai felt very angry, thinking that "Datang Daily" deliberately made things difficult for him, and "Datang Daily" was responsible for Li Chengqian, which was obviously bullying him Li Tai. This incident shows that Li Chengqian and others in the court had already premeditated their opposition to Li Shimin's recommendation of Li Tai to be responsible for the construction of Yong'an Palace, and they had already colluded with the ministers to deal with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was angry, Li Tai's words added fuel to the fire, he thought that if Li Tai's words were true, then Li Chengqian and others would have been premeditated, and the matter would be serious, so he decided to investigate the matter.

Originally, this matter could be handed over to Ma Xuanliang to be responsible, but Ma Xuanliang had just reported that this matter was an emergency, and Li Shimin, in order to avoid partiality and bias, decided to find a person who had nothing to do with Li Chengqian and Li You to investigate the matter.

It just so happened that Xu Jingzong wanted to send a printing sample of "Wude Record", and Li Shimin made up his mind temporarily and decided that Xu Jingzong would be responsible.

Xu Jingzong, who had been looking for an opportunity, finally waited for the opportunity he was looking forward to, and he was going to make a big fuss about this matter.

Xu Jingzong is old, and under normal circumstances, there is no chance in Li Shimin's dynasty. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, he had nothing to do with Li Chengqian, even if the dynasty changed, he would not have a chance, with his age, he probably belonged to the category of being eliminated.

Xu Jingzong saw this incident more clearly than Li Chengqian, Li You, this is the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress, and the incident seemed to be accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.

Because of Li Shimin's Eastern Crusade, Li Chengqian has been in charge of the country twice, and he has considerable influence between the government and the opposition, and Li You, a bull who has always supported him, Li Chengqian's strength should not be underestimated. Li Shimin is an extremely self-respecting person with an extremely strong desire for power, and he will never allow his position to be challenged.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin has already begun to have the idea of suppressing Li Chengqian and Li You in his heart, perhaps Li Shimin has not yet figured out what to do and what effect to achieve. However, as long as this thought existed in his heart, sooner or later he would have to put it into action.

Therefore, this incident seems to be accidental, but in fact, Li Shimin also has the idea of using the topic to play.

Xu Jingzong decided to seize this opportunity and became Li Shimin's confidant from then on to interpret his glory.

Leaving the Liangyi Palace, Xu Jingzong immediately went to the Furong Garden.
