In public in social life, the big man is always the last to appear.

Li Chengqian is now in prison, and the order of appearance must be last, until the ministers are all in place, and then he will appear again, and after the ministers salute him together, the early dynasty will begin.

Today is an exception, before the start of the early dynasty, Li Chengqian came over early, and his target was Li You.

From afar, Li Chengqian shouted, "Fifth brother." "Be more affectionate and affectionate.

When Li You saw Li Chengqian coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Brother is in prison." "Be as respectful as you are.

Li Chengqian said: "No courtesy." After speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Li You, and then chatted with him.

The ministers saw the scene of brotherly affection, which seemed to imply something. Those who were originally going to attack Yin Hongzhi in the court couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts.

When the eldest grandson Wuji saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable, and Chu Suiliang also felt depressed.

Li Chengqian did this deliberately, showing that he trusted Li You and supported Li You. Because at present, only the tomb incident involving Li You also shows Li Chengqian's attitude on this incident.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Li Chengqian said: "My father and the emperor drove the expedition in person, and the war in Goguryeo has made significant progress. Goguryeo, a problem that has plagued our Han nation for hundreds of years, is about to be completely resolved. At the same time, the Eastern Crusade Army also took advantage of the victory to capture Silla and Baekje, adding a huge population and land to the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, let us congratulate our father and the soldiers of the Eastern Crusade Army on their great victory. ”

Saying that, he stood up, arched his hands to the sky, and took the lead in shouting: "For the Tang Dynasty to shock the world, congratulations!" Datang will win, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

The ministers cheered along.

Next, Li Chengqian said: "Li You, the king of the northwest, followed His Majesty on this expedition and also established great meritorious deeds.

The main topic of this morning is the special session of the report meeting on the military deeds of the Eastern Expedition. Now, it is up to Li You to introduce the glorious results of the Eastern Expeditionary Army to the early dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian is taking the lead and establishing Li You's prestige.

Li You has always been willing to work hard to publicize the heroic deeds of the front-line soldiers who fought bloodily, and he cannot let the exploits of those soldiers who have sacrificed for the country be buried.

Li You said: "Your Highness, my lords, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has achieved brilliant results, all thanks to the wise leadership of His Majesty and the bloody battles of the front-line soldiers. ”

He first reported on the situation on the Korean Peninsula, and then described the heroic deeds of the front-line soldiers with detailed examples.

In his mouth, not only established the glorious image of senior generals such as Li Shimin, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Daozong, Hou Junji and Gao Yong, but also the singing and weeping deeds of Zhang Guigui and other lower-level soldiers were also vividly described by Li You.

After the report on the deeds of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Li You said: "Your Highness the Supervisor State, please allow your brother to briefly report the deeds of the soldiers of the Northwest Province in expanding their territory and opening up the territory. ”

To set up a monument for his subordinates and strive for benefits, Li You has never let go of any opportunity.

Li Chengqian said: "Okay, the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Western Expeditionary Army are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, so you can introduce them to the ministers." ”

Li You briefly explained the achievements of the Western Expeditionary Army, focusing on the arduous efforts and meritorious deeds made by a large number of generals and officials of the Northwest Province, such as Cheng Yanjin, Xue Rengui, and Wang Xuance.

Everyone noticed that Li You listed a large number of names, but did not mention himself.

The duration of the briefing was very long, more than double the usual time spent on the DPRK. Li You saw that the ministers were already a little tired, so he stopped in moderation.

He said: "Of course, it is not only the soldiers at the border pass who are making meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but also the adults in the court who work hard to maintain the stability of the imperial court and actively support the border pass.

That's all for today. Thank you for listening to my report. ”

Li Chengqian said: "After listening to the report of Li You, the king of the northwest, the heroic feats and singing deeds of my father and the soldiers at the border pass deeply moved the widow.

In addition, there is another thing that makes the widow very emotional.

The ministers have all noticed it, Li You listed many heroes and martyrs, but did not mention a word about himself. However, his meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all. This modest attitude of his is worth learning from the widows and the rank of ministers.

Rank ministers, it's not too early, if you still have any important questions, just ask, if not, disperse. ”

Originally, under the arrangement of well-intentioned people, Li Bin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and others were ready to attack the tomb incident in the court. But strange to say, Li You's prestige is too high, in front of him, those people all feel weak, and no one dares to come forward.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang were originally waiting for someone to come forward to impeach Yin Hongzhi, and they were good at taking the opportunity, but the scene in front of them made them deeply worried.

However, they also have a second plan, and they have also arranged manpower in advance, ready to add fuel to the fire when Li Bin and others are in trouble. If Li Bin and the others don't come forward, the people they arranged will also raise the matter.

Li You, Li Chengqian, and others had already made preparations and thought of countermeasures, just waiting for someone to make a difficulty, and they would deal with it. But I didn't expect this to be the case.

Li You and others originally wanted to put this matter on the table, but some people in the province were talking nonsense behind their backs. But those people didn't mention it, but it made Li You and the others feel troublesome.

The eldest grandson Wuji decided to attack, and he secretly sent a signal to Wang Yu, the provincial servant who had arranged for him to be in charge of the clan's sacrifices, and asked him to come forward and mention the matter. Li You also decided to strike first.

Just when Li You and Wang Yu were about to come out, Wei Zheng came out to speak first. He said: "Qi Qi Jian Guo, Minister Wei Zheng has something to say. ”

"Lord Wei, please speak." Li Chengqian said politely.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister heard that Yin Hongzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, built a tomb for his father, which exceeded the grade specifications of the Yin Concubine Niangniang, and was suspected of exceeding the system. So, the minister sent someone to investigate that at this time, the tomb built by Lord Yin for his father in Wuwei did exceed the grade specifications of the relatives of the royal family, and asked Lord Yin to explain. ”

According to the prior agreement of Li Chengqian and others, this matter should be handed over to Li You to deal with, so as not to be attacked by Yin Hongzhi and Yin Concubine Niangniang. Li Chengqian asked, "Li You, do you know about this matter?" ”

Li You said: "Prison country, the younger brother knows about this. This matter was arranged by the younger brother in order to fulfill his filial piety to his grandfather on behalf of his mother and uncle. ”

"Then you're going to explain, right?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, my brother obeys." Li You said.

After speaking, he said loudly: "This matter, after verification, Lord Wei's investigation results are true, and the specifications of the tomb of the younger brother and grandfather are indeed beyond the system. ”

"Buzz", hearing Li You's personal admission, everyone talked about it.

Li Bin and the others, who were originally about to attack, suddenly felt that something was wrong. The eldest grandson Wuji and others also felt that the development trend of the matter was controlled by Li You in advance.

Wei Zheng asked, "Your Royal Highness the Northwest King, please explain this matter." ”

Li You said: "First of all, no matter what the reason, it is a fact that the specifications of the minister's grandfather's tomb are overdue, and the minister, on behalf of his mother and uncle, will review this matter. At the same time, the tomb of the grandfather will be demolished first and then rebuilt according to the prescribed dimensions. ”

"Buzz", the crowd was talking again.

Obviously, except for a few people with bad intentions, Li You's sincere attitude has been forgiven by everyone.

Wei Chigong first stood up and said: "Your Highness can change it when you know your mistakes, this kind of attitude can be forgiven, and you can't take it as an example." ”

"yes, yes. The next is not an example. Everyone said.

Li You directly chose to back down, and those who wanted to use this matter to make a fuss suddenly couldn't borrow their strength. Li You's attitude has been understood by most people, and in this case, if he still holds on to it, it will make people feel that he has ulterior motives for making a fuss.

Now, it's the turn of those who stir up trouble.
