On the first day of December, at the beginning of Yinshi, when the sky was still full of stars, there was already a crowd in front of the gate of Taiji Palace.

The officials waiting for the court stood in groups in the cold wind and talked and laughed, and many officials were talking about the new "Renshou Palace" that they had seen in Wei Zheng's mansion last night.

The people who went to the Wei Mansion for the banquet yesterday became the focus at this time, and these people were surrounded by everyone in the middle, telling everyone about the freshness of watching the play in the Wei Mansion, and they were very proud to see the envious eyes of everyone.

Let's talk about how the front hall of the Wei Mansion was arranged last night, and then talk about how wonderful the lyrics and songs composed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were, and then sigh at the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and in the end, it is natural to say what Wei Zheng finally came out to say.

Listening to the beginning and the end, people also feel that the death of the Sui has a lot to do with the abolition of the long and young, because the Sui died for many years, and the scholars and doctors all have the elegance of commenting on the past and the present, so everyone can't help but criticize the previous Sui for not following the etiquette and teaching, abolishing the long and young, and thus the lessons of the country.

In the crowd, Du He found the love of Fang who came to the court.

Du He and Fang Yiai are both Li Shimin's sons-in-law, Du He is handsome and very talented, so he married the princess Chengyang born to the eldest grandson queen, and was named the prince of Xiangyang County early, and he is also the confidant of the crown prince Chengqian.

Fang Yiai married the concubine Princess Gaoyang, and her name is not obvious, although she is Fang Xuanling's son, she is now just a princess.

Fang Yiai was valued by Li Tai, the king of Wei, because of Fang Xuanling's relationship, and was attracted as a guest, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, also slowly discovered that Fang Yiai was talentless and virtuous, timid and cowardly, and Fang Xuanling always favored the East Palace, and Fang Yiai gradually stood aside in the party of King Wei.

Du He has never looked down on Fang Yiai, and today he came to him to confess to Li Chengqian.

"It turns out that the beloved brother is here, and it is easy to find the younger brother." Du He smiled and walked closer, and said to the fist room.

"Duhe, what are you looking for me to do?" Although Fang Yiai is not as shrewd as Du He, he is also a person who has been in the Chang'an circle for more than ten years, and Du He, who has always been at odds with him, suddenly found Du He naturally aroused his vigilance.

Du He sighed when he heard this: "What else can you do except sponsor His Royal Highness King Wei as the crown prince?" said that he lowered his head and looked dejected.

Fang Yiai couldn't believe her ears when she heard this, and asked with wide eyes, "You?" Du He wants to recommend the King of Wei as the crown prince?"

Du He looked even more lost, and said in a low voice for a long time: "If it is not a last resort, who wants to change the court?" ”

Seeing Du He's frustration, Fang Yiai instantly felt that he was a lot taller, looked down at Du He, with a reserved smile on his face, and said in a long voice: "What's wrong?" Let's talk about it! ”

Hearing this, Du He lowered his head and said with a long sigh: "Yesterday my uncle came to me and told me that what the prince has been doing in the city recently has made His Majesty very unhappy. His Majesty had already told His Royal Highness King Wei in person yesterday that he wanted His Royal Highness King Wei to be the crown prince. ”

"Is this true?" Fang Yiai's voice was full of surprise.

"If it weren't for that, I'd have come to you?" Du He said angrily.

Fang Yiai was a little embarrassed, she didn't know what to say, she reached out and wanted to scratch her head, but she touched the hat on her head.

Seeing this, Du He pointed to the people who were talking about Wei Zheng's treat: "You don't look at so many people talking about it."

What, they were all talking about the reception of the Wei Mansion last night. If it weren't for the most critical moment, Wei Zheng, who was about to die of illness, would be so desperate?"

"That's the same?

However, I heard them all saying that they couldn't be abandoned, and they were angry here! Fang Yiai said with indignation.

Du He said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been doing things during this time, you also know that several masters in the East Palace have been banned from him outside, and he has offended all the families. In the past two days, he has forced the prime minister to death, and detained His Royal Highness King Wei for no reason, what do you say he has done, which His Majesty can tolerate?

My uncle came back from Hibiscus last night and told me a lot, hoping that I would abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

I also thought about it, following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is for fame and fortune, so isn't it the same if King Wei becomes the crown prince in the future?

I can't go all the way to the dark, follow him to death.

So I decided to switch to His Royal Highness King Wei, and then, I want to fight for a good place for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to settle, so that he can live a better life for the rest of his life. ”

Du He said and raised his hand to wipe the tears that were already in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't treat him badly." Fang Yiai reached out and patted Du He's shoulder to comfort him.

Du He lowered his head, as if he was very sad, but he was actually waiting for Fang Yi's love to ask him.

Sure enough, after a while, Fang Yiai digested the information Du He said, and asked, "Then what should we do today?"

Du He also seemed to have adjusted his mood, raised his head, and solemnly looked at Fang Yiai and said: "My uncle said that he may not be able to bring down His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, but let His Majesty punish the prince, and let the ministers know who should be the prince in the future."

Therefore, I want you to be the first to come out and sponsor His Royal Highness King Wei as the crown prince, because Uncle Fang plays a pivotal role in the court and is the person who knows His Majesty's mind best.

As soon as you come out, everyone will know that this is what Your Majesty meant, and you can see these people who are full of mouths, 'You can't abolish the people who grow up and stand young, and when the time comes, none of them will dare to come out again to speak for the prince.' ”

Fang Yiai was full of pride when he heard this, and looked left and right at the hundred officials in front of the Taiji Palace, and there was a sense of pride in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Du He said in a complaining tone: "In the end, this work is still yours." ”

Fang Yiai said very proudly when he heard this: "Brother Xian, don't worry, you and I are brothers, one day the foolish brother is developed, and he will not forget the merits of the virtuous brother." ”

Du He pretended to complain and said, "That's good! ”

After Fang Yiai's pride, he felt a little fly in the ointment, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said with a little regret: "Why didn't His Royal Highness King Wei tell me in person?"

Du He was shocked when he heard this, but his face showed no anger: "I can't do it with you?" When is this going to let King Wei see you?" So he turned his head angrily, and happened to see Du Chuke talking to a few ministers over there.

"Brother Xian, don't be angry, Brother Yu also thought that he hadn't seen His Royal Highness King Wei for more than half a month, so he ......" Fang Yiai hurriedly explained to Du He.

"Don't make any noise, don't you see that my uncle is discussing with other ministers? Do you want me to call him over and tell you again?" Du He pinched Fang Yiai's temperament, and became more and more violent.

Fang Yiai hugged his fist and said good things with a smile, Du He saw that it was almost over, and then continued: "There are so many big things to be busy with at this time, let's not make trouble for them." ”

"Everything is up to the arrangement of the virtuous brother." Although Fang Yiai was not convinced, he didn't dare to go to Du Chuke at any time, thinking that when His Royal Highness King Wei entered the East Palace, he would still have to rely on my father, and then your uncle would be useless, and I would not be favored in front of King Wei......

Because the East Palace is relatively close to the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian set off relatively late, and he waited until the opening of the palace gate of the Taiji Palace before driving, so that he did not have to wait at the gate of the Taiji Palace.

When Li Chengqian arrived at the gate of the Taiji Palace, he changed to four people to carry the chariot, because Li Chengqian had an injury on his foot, and Li Shimin allowed him to take the chariot in the palace.

However, the original chariot is a door panel, it is very uncomfortable to sit cross-legged on it, Li Chengqian has not seen what the Ming and Qing dynasties are like in the chariot, so he directly added a few tenon holes connecting wooden bars under the Taishi chair, so that people can directly lift the Taishi chair, which is both safe and comfortable.

When Li Chengqian arrived in front of the Taiji Palace, a little eunuch stepped forward to lead him to the hall for a while, so that he didn't have to queue up in front of the Taiji Hall in front of a group of ministers.
