Chapter 428: Li Zhi is out

A fast horse hurried to the outside of the Zhao Tomb.

Zhang Yunwen turned over and dismounted outside the Zhaoling Tomb and walked quickly towards the Zhaoling Tomb.

As soon as he entered the room where Li Zhi was guarding the mausoleum, Zhang Yunwen saw Li Zhi holding a book and looking at it absentmindedly. I saw that he sometimes looked down at a book, sometimes looked up at the window, and showed a smirk from time to time, which made Zhang Yunwen baffled.

"Let's go, follow me back to Chang'an!" Zhang Yunwen entered the room, grabbed Li Zhi's hand, and said hurriedly.

Li Zhi suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground. After stabilizing his figure, he looked at Zhang Yunwen with a resentful gaze: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?" “

Zhang Yunwen didn't care about Li Zhi's eyes, and said seriously: "Xiaozhi, did the eldest grandson come to you?" ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, my uncle has been here, and he has said many words of encouragement!" How? Brother-in-law, is there something wrong? ”

Zhang Yunwen said solemnly: "At today's court meeting, the eldest grandson proposed to make you the crown prince!" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What? What made me prince? And what about Big Brother? What happened to Big Brother? ”

Zhang Yunwen slowly said what had happened recently, and finally said: "Xiaozhi, there has been a storm in the DPRK recently, and you are staying here, but you can't hear or see it, how can this work?" You will return to Chang'an with me today, maybe the position of the East Palace will really fall on your head! ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly: "Isn't there still a fourth brother?" ”

Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "Don't worry, with the support of the eldest grandson, you will definitely be able to enter the East Palace!" However, it's not enough to have the eldest grandson alone, you still have to fight for yourself, and you can show it in front of Your Majesty! ”

After pondering for a moment, the essence of Li Zhi's eyes flashed: "Okay, just follow my brother-in-law's words!" Xiaozhi will return to Chang'an! Well, but if you go back rashly, will you be said to be here specifically for the position of the East Palace? Thinking of this, Li Zhi looked at Zhang Yunwen, "Brother-in-law, what did you use as an excuse for this incident in Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Yunwen pondered for a while: "You just say to the outside world that you can't bear to see Your Majesty sad, and go back to Beijing to comfort Your Majesty!" ”

Li Zhi's return to Chang'an did cause a sensation. After all, he is also one of the popular candidates for the East Palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Li Zhi walked straight to where Li Shimin was.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the main hall, I heard a familiar voice coming from inside: "Father, how about you look at this flying white painting written by your son?" This is specially dedicated to his father! I wish my father a speedy recovery! This is Li Tai's voice.

As soon as he heard this voice, Li Zhi was stunned. At this time, the guard standing outside the hall raised his voice and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has arrived!" ”

Li Zhi pushed the door in.

On the top of the main hall, Li Taizheng stood respectfully next to Li Shimin, looking coldly at Li Zhi, who was slowly walking in.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Li Zhi bowed and saluted.

Li Shimin's gaze has never left Li Zhi since he entered the hall. I saw Li Zhi wearing a white shirt and walking slowly, and the whole person looked much thinner. This couldn't help but remind Li Shimin of the hard work of guarding the mausoleum, and he chuckled lightly: "Hehe, childish slave, you are also back!" ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he took two steps forward and shouted "Father" in a choked voice. As soon as he heard this shout, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose.

"Erchen heard that the eldest brother did something that made his father sad, so he came back to see how his father was doing now!" Li Zhi said.

Li Tai, who was next to him, snorted coldly with disdain when he saw this situation.

After Li Shimin and Li Zhi talked for a while, Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to go down to rest, and at the same time said, "Look at you, childish slave, covered in dust and tired, go down and rest first!" ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

When Li Zhi left, Li Shimin suddenly asked Li Tai: "Qingque, if I make you the crown prince, how will you treat the young slave?" ”

As soon as this question came out, a trace of astonishment flashed on Li Tai's face, and then he lowered his head and groaned.

Li Shimin didn't force to ask, and looked at the words sent by Li Tai leisurely.

Finally, after being silent for a long time, Li Tai gritted his teeth and said: "Erchen has a son today, and on the day of his son's death, he should kill him for His Majesty to pass on the throne to King Jin!" ”

Li Shimin listened, sighed lightly, and waved his hand to Li Tai: "Qingque, you should go down first!" I'm tired! ”

Looking at Li Tai's figure slowly leaving the hall, Li Shimin looked thoughtful.

On the second day, Li Shimin said Li Tai's words, and then sighed: "Who doesn't love their children since ancient times? Now that Qingque is saying this, I feel sorry for her! “

At this time, Chu Suiliang came out and said: "Your Majesty is a big mistake. May you ponder and make no mistake! Long live Your Majesty, the King of Wei is willing to kill his beloved son and pass on the throne to the king! His Majesty has established Chengqian as the crown prince and restored favor to the King of Wei, and the courtesy rank is too much Chengqian, so as to become today's disaster. The past is not far off, and it is enough to learn from it. Your Majesty is now the king of Wei, and he is willing to take measures to put the king of Jin first, so that he can have a safe ear. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he fell into deep thought. Finally, after a while, he let out a long sigh: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, this matter is not considered by me!" ”

Because of Chu Suiliang's words, the balance in Li Shimin's heart gradually tilted to Li Zhi's side. And another thing happened that Li Shimin began to regret making Li Tai the prince.

Li Tai also heard Chu Suiliang's remarks in the court, and hated this old man who had disturbed his own good deeds, but this Chu Suiliang was Li Shimin's close minister, and Li Shimin was also very willing to listen to him. Therefore, even if Li Tai has complaints, he will only hold them in his heart.

Although there were some accidents, Li Tai still ran to the palace every day. Occasionally, when I met Li Zhi, I took the initiative to nod and say hello.

Finally, after meeting Li Zhi once, this Li Tai stopped Li Zhi who was about to leave with a smile on his face: "Hehe, Xiaozhi, the fourth brother has heard a lot of rumors?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned, what does this rumor have to do with me?

Li Tai smiled slightly, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother heard that some ministers in the court were at odds with Uncle Yuanchang at the beginning, so in the case of the crown prince, they insisted on putting Uncle Yuanchang to death. Now, those people have started to move again, preparing to pull down all the people who are good to Uncle Yuanchang's father! Xiaozhi, everyone knows about your friendship with him, but be careful! ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Zhi's heart was immediately filled with worry. And today's Li Zhi is not a person who is good at concealment, and his joy and anger are colorful, and others can see at a glance that Li Zhi is full of worry.

When Li Shimin saw Li Zhi like this, he asked the reason many times, but Li Zhi shook his head and did not answer, but stopped Zhang Yunwen after a court meeting and told him about it.

Zhang Yunwen listened to it, and immediately smiled: "Hehe, Xiaozhi, this is that you are too tender, if you can be a little more sophisticated, you can guess that this matter is just King Wei scaring you, making you afraid and afraid, and thus losing the confidence to compete with him!" ”

Li Zhi still asked in disbelief: "Really? ”

"Of course, isn't your brother-in-law still lying to you? Well, in that case, you can inform Your Majesty of this. Maybe this is the key to your victory! Zhang Yunwen said with a smile.

Li Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, and walked in the direction of Taiji Palace according to what Zhang Yunwen said.

"That's right, Xiaoji!" didn't take two steps, Zhang Yunwen stopped him from behind, "If you encounter someone blocking you, you are not allowed to see Your Majesty, don't let people stop you as before, just shout loudly, and when Your Majesty hears it, he will definitely send someone out to find out!" ”

Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully and walked towards the Taiji Palace again.

As Zhang Yunwen expected, outside the hall where Li Shimin was, Li Zhi was really stopped.

"Oh, isn't this His Royal Highness King Jin? Here's a courtesy for my brother! Li Zhi looked at this person, but it was Chai Lingwu.

Immediately, he also hugged his fists and saluted back: "Little brother has seen Brother Chai!" ”

Chai Lingwu said eagerly: "You and my brother haven't drunk together for a long time, since we met today, then I'll go and drink two glasses now!" ”

Li Zhi shook his head: "No, Brother Chai, the little brother has something important today, get together another day, get together another day!" ”

Chai Lingwu snorted coldly, and his face sank: "Xiaozhi, this is your fault, you and I have been friends for several years, and we haven't drunk together for a long time, but now when we meet, you want to refuse to be a brother, which really makes you sad for your brother!" ”

Listening to Chai Lingwu's words, Li Zhi was really a little overwhelmed.

At this time, a voice came: "Huh? His Royal Highness King Jin, aren't you going with me to see Your Majesty? I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here! ”

Hearing this voice, Li Zhi's heart suddenly calmed down, and he said to Chai Lingwu: "Brother Chai, I'm really sorry, the younger brother wants to enter the palace to see his father, and he can't drink with you!" Drink it another day, drink it another day! ”

Chai Lingwu suddenly looked at the person who spoke with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "Zhang Yunwen, what do you mean by this?" I had a good conversation with King Jin, why are you interjecting indiscriminately? ”

Seeing this, Zhang Yunwen just smiled: "General Ben and His Royal Highness the King of Jin have made an appointment to meet His Majesty together and report on important matters." In this way, you stopped King Jin, but you delayed my time, if something went wrong, are you responsible? ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say this, Chai Lingwu knew that he couldn't stop these two people, and it was not easy to tear his face, so he had to say to Li Zhi with regret: "It's a pity, I want to ask King Jin to drink with my brother!" It seems that we will only get together again in the future! In that case, let's take my leave for my brother first! ”

With that, he strode out of the place.
