Chapter 125: Li Shimin's Decision

Li Shimin fell and was helped up by the inner attendant, and did not let the imperial doctor come to see him, so he half lay on the bed in a daze.

Li Zhi handed over Li Tai's last letter, Li Shimin didn't even look at it, Li Zhi had to put down the letter and go out to handle the funeral for Li Tai.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin also opened the last letter written by Li Tai to him, and Li Shimin looked at the familiar font and had mixed feelings in his heart.

Li Tai's letter earnestly admitted his mistake, and also explained for Li Chengqian, explaining that Li Chengqian intended to let him live, but because he was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji and others would borrow him to make trouble again, he broke his legs, and fabricated the materials of the rebellion of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and the other favored prince Li Chengqian was not at ease and wanted to deal with it together.

Li Shimin read Li Tai's letter but did not believe it all, he was worried that Li Chengqian was not good to Li Tai, so Li Tai bit Li Chengqian before he died, because Li Chengqian's kindness to the people of the world, he could see it.

However, he was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's torture of Li Tai when Li Tai was dying, and reason told Li Shimin that Li Chengqian was right, so half a day passed, and Li Shimin did not make any will to reprimand Li Chengqian, nor did he make any arrangements for Li Tai's surviving family, but only asked Li Zhi to bury Li Tai according to the rites of the national prince.

But Li Shimin really felt uncomfortable, he wanted to find someone to talk to, he wanted to find someone to persuade him, and Li Shimin never said much to the women in the harem about matters involving the prince and the crown prince.

So he thought of the eldest grandson Wuji, but he didn't want to speak for a while, so he didn't send someone to pass on him.

So when the little chamberlain told the eldest grandson Wuji to ask him to see him, he didn't hear that there were other people behind him, so he didn't hesitate to announce them in.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others came in and saw Li Shimin half-lying on the bed looking sick, and they were all secretly shocked, and they all knew about Li Tai's death, but except for the eldest grandson Wuji, everyone else was thinking about how to solve Li Chengqian's instructions just now, and forgot about this stubble.

Although these four all thought that Li Tai deserved to die, Li Tai was dead, so he couldn't show it in front of Li Shimin, so they saluted Li Shimin with a calm face and sat down in order.

Li Shimin saw the eldest grandson Wuji coming in with so many people, and he was a little dissatisfied, so he said with a dark face: "What do you see me?"

The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Li Shimin was unhappy, although he knew that it was because of Li Tai's matter, but he still asked carelessly: "Seeing that Your Majesty has a tired face, but he is infected with the wind and cold?"

Li Shimin thought that he didn't know that Li Tai was dead, and when he saw Su Xun and Cui Dunli sitting in the back, he didn't say much but just hummed, after all, it was a fact that Li Tai rebelled, and if he said anything more to the minister because of his death, it would cause a storm in Li Chengqian's ears.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't say much knowing the reason, and said directly: "Originally, Your Majesty was not in good health, and the ministers should not disturb Your Majesty's rest anymore, but the facts are tricky......

"I'm fine, you can say it!" Li Shimin said expressionlessly.

The eldest grandson Wuji had a look of unbearability on his face when he heard this, but he still firmly took out a note, and said to Li Shimin with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is a note approved by His Royal Highness the Prince, you can take a look first!" As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu hurriedly took out the copy in his hand, and the waiter took it and handed it to Li Shimin's desk.

As soon as Li Shimin heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he looked at the faces of the four of them, looked back at the two notes on the desk, and knew in his heart that there must be something wrong with Li Chengqian's criticism.

A nameless fire quickly filled his chest, and the weakness just now was instantly healed, and he snorted coldly and picked up Li Chengqian's instructions to reprimand Quan Wanji, Li Shimin looked at it and snorted angrily, put the music on the small table, and said with a beard: "Nonsense!" It must have been Li You's son who begged the prince. ”

Then he stretched out his hand and picked up Li Chengqian's approval of Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan's song to the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess, and saw Li Chengqian's instructions: Send monks and Taoist priests to the desert, and the anger came up all of a sudden, and he sat up suddenly and smashed the music Shu on the ground with a "bang", and raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Does he treat national affairs as child's play?"

This time really made Li Shimin angry, no matter whether Li Chengqian agreed to Xue Yantuo's request or sternly rejected Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin would not be angry, but sending a monk and Taoist priest like Li Chengqian to the grassland to teach the instructor Dan was the most unbearable for Li Shimin.

Because there is no precedent for Li Chengqian's handling method, and there is no factual demand in the current Tang Dynasty, it can be said that all the ministers who see it will think that Li Chengqian is joking about national affairs.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't feel funny at all, but felt very ashamed, ashamed that he, an all-round emperor in civil and martial arts, gave birth to such a foolish son.

Facing the furious Li Shimin, the four ministers stood up at the same time and saluted: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"Humph!" Li Shimin was angry and panting.

Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, the eldest grandson Wuji and Xiao Yu did not do their own business and did not speak, Cui Dunli said stubbornly because of him: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry, this may be the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is teasing the barbarians at a moment's notice." ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily: "How can national affairs be child's play?"

Cui Dunli was also too frightened to say anything when he saw this.

Li Shimin snorted angrily and stood up, walked back and forth in the hall twice, and as soon as he stopped, he said loudly: "Spread my will, in the future, the Pingzhang Academy's proposed votes will be sent to me for approval of red, and the prince is not allowed to approve red on the song." ”

"Yes!"

Watching the little chamberlain go to Zhongshu Province to deliver the decree, Li Shimin calmed down a little and turned around and sat back on the bed.

said with a calm face: "The prince takes state affairs as a child's play, which is simply nonsense, and the decree punishes the prince to study and think about it in the East Palace for a month." ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian's punishment was still so light, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly reminded Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you just punished the prince for studying in the East Palace for a month, and it is not over yet." ”

"Then add another month."

Hearing this, Su Xun hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji felt that the punishment was light, but Su Xun felt that the punishment was too heavy, because this was not something that was thought about behind closed doors in the East Palace at all, and Li Chengqian's right to approve the red was withdrawn by Li Shimin.

The reason why the eldest grandson Wuji felt light was because he didn't take advantage of it, you must know that before this, the prime minister directly wrote his own handling opinions on the song, and the emperor just approved it.

Since Li Chengqian set up the Pingzhang Yuan, Li Shimin did not dare to let Li Chengqian's power be too great, and put the eldest grandson Wuji in it, but Li Shimin transferred all power to the Pingzhang Yuan at the same time.

It is obvious that although Li Shimin is extremely angry at this time, he is still a qualified politician and will not let outsiders take advantage.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Su Xun and was about to say something more, but Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, you can talk about Xue Yantuo!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless for a while by Li Shimin, so he kept his face calm and did not speak, and Li Shimin turned his head to look at Cui Dunli, after all, it was Xue Yantuo who he sent to the envoy.

"Your Majesty, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan promised that if I am willing to marry the princess of my family, he will offer 50,000 horses, 10,000 cows and camels, and 100,000 sheep as a gift to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Last year, I discussed this matter with Xuan Ling, and all ethnic groups in Northern Xinjiang needed to deal with the strong soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and I proposed two plans at that time, one was to fight a battle to destroy Xue Yantuo, which could ensure the peace of Northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty for fifty years." The second is to be friendly, which can ensure the peace of our northern Tang Dynasty for 30 years.

Xuan Ling thought that Datang still needed to recuperate, so it was better to be friendly, so he sent you to the envoy. Since Zhenzhu Khan is also sincere in reconciling with my Datang, let them send someone to send Cheng Li. ”

"Obey the order!" Cui Dunli listened to Li Shimin's agreement to make peace, and hurriedly got up to salute and receive the order.

After talking about Xue Yantuo's courtship, Li Shimin turned around and picked up the right Wanji to impeach Li You, the king of Qi, for plotting to assassinate him.

Quan Wanji said that the king of Qi and others planned to assassinate him, but the prince thought that there was not, and said that Quan Wanji was narrow-minded and narrow-minded, and he was not worthy of being the king's teacher.

What do you think?"

This time, the eldest grandson Wuji said directly without waiting for others to speak: "The prince is far away in Chang'an, and he doesn't know about Qizhou, and Quan Wanji's temperament is mostly heard from King Wu, and he can't count them." However, Yin Hongzhi beside King Qi is indeed a villain, and King Qi is provoked by him, and it is difficult to say what he can do. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, as the official uncle of the Zhenguan period, has long been strict against the 'national uncle' of a wild road like Yin Hongzhi.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, agreed deeply, and said directly: "Since this is the case, I sent Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to Qizhou to investigate this matter, I want to know what is going on with them?"

In the end, the tone turned out to be murderous.
