Eternal interests are the premise of cooperation, and since Li Chengqian's rebellion was defeated and deposed, Li Tai's performance has made the eldest grandson Wuji feel more and more satisfied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What he was satisfied with was not Li Tai's diligent and low-key personality, but Li Tai's political leanings. Before Li Chengqian collapsed, Li Tai actively communicated frequently with the Guanlong Gate Valve, and the eldest grandson Wuji himself was also from Guanlong, Li Tai's performance undoubtedly released a very strong signal to him, if one day he became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, that is, or ascended the throne as the emperor, the Guanlong Gate Valve will be more favored and reused, and the weight of the entire Guanlong Gate Valve in the court will become heavier and heavier.

This signal released by Li Tai made the eldest grandson Wuji very satisfied. In this era, the family and the background have been deeply imprinted, this brand is destined to be indelible from birth, even if you are the prime minister of the emperor, you can not avoid vulgarity, the prosperity of the family, the prominence of the family, is what these emperors must work hard for in their lives.

The eldest grandson Wuji also hopes that the Guanlongmen valve from whom he was born will become more and more prosperous and prominent.

And Li Zhi, the other candidate who is also competing for the crown prince, what is he doing?

Not only did he have no performance in politics, he did nothing, but he also had seven points of awe and three points of fear for the eldest grandson Wuji's maternal uncle, unless he had the necessary greetings and gifts for the New Year's holidays, he generally did not have much contact with the eldest grandson's family, not only that, but he also often went to Taiping Village, and went up the mountain to catch birds with Li Su, and went down to the river to catch fish, and had a lot of fun......

Is this what a person competing for the crown prince should do?

Therefore, it is reasonable to be reasonable, and the balance in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji has to be biased in favor of Li Tai.

Today, Li Tai went to the Changsun Mansion regardless of suspicion, and to be honest, the eldest grandson Wuji was faintly disappointed in his heart.

He didn't expect that the King of Wei, who had high hopes, and the prince who was the most hopeful for the crown prince would be so uncontrollable, and there was only a little sign of change, so he couldn't wait to come to the door for help......

"King Wei, you don't need a clear road, until today, your winning face is still the biggest among all the princes, you are the heir, and the first in line, and you are diligent and studious, humble, you see, you have taken such a big lead, why are you still afraid of Li Su and Li Zhi? What are you afraid of? The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "In front of others, Tai naturally said that he was not afraid of anything, but in front of his uncle, Tai didn't dare to hide anything, I ...... I'm really a little afraid of Li Su. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned: "Li Tai is the same age as you, but he is also a hairless young man, even though he has done some great things, but compared with the forces behind you, it is far from the same after all, and it is not enough to be troubled, what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Tai sighed: "Tai doesn't know why he's afraid of him, but ...... I'm really afraid of him, Li Su is a very evil person, looking at the desperate situation with no chance of winning, he can always easily get through the misfortune and turn the danger into safety, as if God has given him the luck to turn evil into good fortune, and he is the enemy, Tai is really a little uneasy......"

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted and said: "You can't deal with a single enemy, if you become the next generation of Tang Emperors in the future, there will be thousands of enemies to deal with, what should you do at that time?" King Wei, in the past, your temperament was quite calm, but this time you have changed your appearance when you meet Li Su, this is not the way of life, you should reflect on your mistakes and avoid it, the old man still said the same thing, there is only one Li Su by the side of King Jin, they can't turn the sky! ”

Li Tai bowed down and said, "Please also ask my uncle to dial one or two." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes narrowed slightly, stroked his long beard, and said slowly: "King Jin is ...... this year Sixteen, right? ”

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly mentioned Li Zhi's age, but he still nodded respectfully and said, "Yes." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "Sixteen years old, he has already received the crown, and he is not the prince of the East Palace, why do you still stay in Chang'an?" When all the princes become adults, they should go out of Beijing to the feudal place, His Majesty as early as the seventh year of Zhenguan was named the governor of the state, and he has been leading it from afar, and now it should be implemented, otherwise how can he hide the world's mouth? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him lightly as he spoke, and said, "All princes should go out of Beijing to take up their posts when they become adults, how can King Jin be an exception?" And you, King Wei, due to physical reasons, His Majesty has already issued a special decree to allow you not to accept the grace of the vassal, so hehe......"

Li Tai's eyes lit up in vain, and then his expression fell into ecstasy.

"Uncle, Uncle is really ...... The strategy is unparalleled, talking and laughing to level the enemy, Tai once again appreciates the demeanor of his uncle today, and he really admires it. Li Tai was so excited that his voice trembled slightly, and he hurriedly saluted and thanked the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was sad and joyless, he shook his head calmly, and sighed: "Speaking of which, Li Zhi is also the nephew of the old man, you and he are my sister's own son, the old man really shouldn't favor one over the other, especially to help you bad his plan, it's just that justice is greater than personal feelings, whether it is the canonization of the prince, or the transition between the old and new emperors in the future, the court and the people of the Tang Dynasty need a stable and wave-free process, the scene of Xuanwumen can no longer be repeated, since you are more suitable than the King of Jin for this prince, the old man has to help you once, and the idea of the King of Jin is gone... … Of course, if other princes also have the idea of competing for the crown, they can be eliminated according to this. ”

Saying that, his face was solemn, and the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes suddenly became stern, staring at Li Tai tightly, and said in a deep voice: "King Wei, you have to remember that the old man helped you this time, it doesn't mean that it will be the same in the future, you can't be pampered and arrogant, and bully your fellow brothers, not only because of brotherly love, but also because you have to keep in mind that your father hates fratricidal things, even for the sake of the future throne, you can't bully your brothers, otherwise everything will be over." ”

These words were said in a loud voice, and Li Tai was stunned and hurriedly responded, but he still couldn't hide his joy in his expression.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The struggle for imperial power has always been very cruel, it is impossible to level a bowl of water, today Li Tai got this idea, the so-called "brotherly love" has become a joke, involving imperial power, even if it is a brother, it must be wiped out, this is a conflict that cannot be resolved at all.

I have to say that the eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty, extremely resourceful, and if he came up with an idea, he put Li Zhi in passivity, and the prince left Beijing to take office in the local area after he became an adult, which was originally the etiquette of the imperial court.

The rules are the rules, but the local city of the Tang Dynasty is too barren after all, so the princes are reluctant to leave Beijing to take office, often say that the death of illness is in Chang'an and refuse to go, Wu King Li Ke is a master of pretending to be sick, whenever there is an eye-catching imperial history to impeach him, urging him to leave Beijing, Li Ke can always fall ill just right, sick to the point of paralysis, no medicine and stone, only one more breath than the dead, Li Shimin's heart is soft, he allowed him to stay in Chang'an temporarily to recuperate, in particular, Li Ke's terminal illness was instantly cured without medicine, it can be called a miracle in the history of human medicine... …

The idea of the eldest grandson Wuji can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

As we all know, one of the prerequisites for the position of the prince is to stay in the capital Chang'an, the so-called close relatives are far away, everyone can see Li Shimin every day, come up with what tricks to win the favor of Li Shimin and the Manchu Dynasty, only to stay in Chang'an City is the most convenient and fast, in this era of inconvenient transportation and communication, if you are suddenly transferred away from Chang'an, thousands of miles away from Li Shimin, how can this game of competing for the crown continue? Li Shimin opened his eyes every day and saw the prince who stayed in Chang'an saluting and greetings, and when dealing with state affairs every day, he saw him dangling in front of him, pretending to be old or pretending to be naïve to ask some seemingly casual but incisive questions or answers, leaving an impression in Li Shimin's heart for a day or two, and the longer the days, the deeper the impression, the better.

At that time, who will remember the poor prince who was transferred to the local domain?

Therefore, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth, Li Tai immediately understood the power of this idea, and the gratitude in his heart to the eldest grandson Wuji was even more incomprehensible.

This idea is so ruthless, Li Tai can shake the initiative in his hands in an instant, and catch Li Zhi and Li Su off guard, as long as Li Zhi is transferred out of Chang'an, even if Li Su stays, it will be unjustifiable, and it will be difficult to speak alone, and the balance of odds will move to Li Tai's side in an instant.

Trying to hold back the ecstasy in his heart, Li Taiqiang was calm, and still talked and laughed with the eldest grandson Wuji, so as not to disappoint the eldest grandson Wuji because he was too happy.

The conversation between the uncle and nephew ended quickly, and at the signal of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Tai quietly left through the back door of the west of the eldest grandson's mansion in a very low-key manner.

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

Just before the undercurrent of Chang'an City was surging and the conflict became clearer, another major event happened in Chang'an City.

At the end of April of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng, a generation of ministers, passed away.

After more than half a year of illness and suffering, Wei Zheng finally couldn't hold on any longer, and chose to pass away forever in this season of spring and recovery.

The news came out in the middle of the night, and the Manchu monarchs and ministers were shocked and grieved.

Li Shimin ordered the palace ban to be opened, and personally left the palace in the middle of the night to go to Wei Zheng's mansion to mourn.

The powerful and important ministers who lived on Suzaku Street also went out one after another and hurried to the Wei Mansion.

In front of the simple and simple Wei Mansion, white lanterns were quietly hung, and the utensils prepared by the Wei family members in advance were also moved out, and even the monks and Taoists who practiced the affairs also lived in two batches in the mansion, just waiting for Wei Zheng to swallow his last breath and calmly handle the funeral.

When Li Shimin and many courtiers rushed to the Wei Mansion for the first time, the Wei Mansion cried and howled, and the sound shook half of the city.

Straight into Wei Zheng's bedroom, Wei Zheng's body was still resting on the bed, and his face was covered with a square white cloth.

Li Shimin stepped forward, grabbed Wei Zheng's cold hand without hesitation, hung his head and cried.

"Qing Jin abandoned me and left, and I lost a mirror!"
