Driven by curiosity, Li Shimin decided to go to the East Palace to see it in person.

Li Shimin is a master of marching and fighting, so before he went, he naturally sent someone to check the path and check the East Palace, and then brought Yang Shidao, the Zhongshu Ling, and Ma Zhou, the Zhongshu squire.

Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou entered the Liangyi Hall one after another, bowed and greeted, and Yang Shidao handed over a note.

The little chamberlain took it and put it on the table, Li Shimin didn't look at it, and asked directly: "What did Yang Qing play?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is His Royal Highness the Prince's recital to ask Su Dingfang, Zhu Suiliang and other seven people to be scholars of the Chongjiao Palace and the Pingzhang Academy." Master Yang replied.

"Bachelor?" Li Shimin looked at Yang Shidao suspiciously.

Yang Shidao's face remained unchanged and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only said in the Song Shu that there is a university scholar rank in the Chongjiao Hall of the East Palace. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he picked up Li Chengqian's note and complained: "These people who assisted him in the East Palace also had merit in quelling Li Tai's rebellion, and when everything settled, I would reward him, so why was he in a hurry?"

Bachelor's degree?

I don't have any university scholars here......"

Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou only thought they hadn't heard it, and Li Shimin complained a few words and looked down at Li Chengqian's recital.

After Li Shimin finished reading Li Chengqian's recital, he raised his head to look at Yang Shidao and shook it in his hand, and asked, "These days the government affairs of the East Palace are handled by these people?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in recent days, there have been a lot of documents sent by the East Palace, and the minister has been handling government affairs in Zhongshu Province, but Ma Shuzi is often summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to consult government affairs in the Chongjiao Palace."

Ma Zhou glanced at Yang Shidao, and said in his heart that this person was loyal and honest, how could he be so good at talking today, and a 'Ma Shuzi' positioned himself in the position of a subordinate of the East Palace.

Li Shimin was really interested when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "King Bin, tell me how Cheng Qian handles government affairs." ”

Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard this, although Li Shimin admired him in the past, he was a lowly official and young, Li Shimin had always called him by his name, and today he actually opened his mouth to call him by his name.

Ma Zhou didn't know what to mean, so he hurriedly got up and said with trepidation: "Your Majesty, let's call the minister's name!" ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled and motioned for Ma Zhou to sit down, and then said with a straight face: "King Bin doesn't have to be too humble, you have taught the prince to be meritorious, and I should also be respectful." ”

Ma Zhou didn't sit down, just lowered his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the world in mind and is wise, and he is already handy in handling government affairs, and these ministers who are stationed in the East Palace who were invited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be crowned university scholars are the great heroes who assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in handling government affairs."

The ministers and other ministers of the Eastern Palace are just sometimes called to the Chongjiao Hall to do some things to fill in the gaps, how dare they take credit. ”

Li Shimin saw that Ma Zhou didn't seem to be ridiculous, so he asked: "Then King Bin told me, how did they assist Cheng Qian?"

Hearing this, Ma Zhou shook his head and said, "Obey!" He sat down and was about to tell in detail what he had seen and heard in the East Palace, when he saw a chamberlain walk in and say: "Your Majesty, a door has been opened on the wall of the Taiji Palace from Youchunfang, and the daily transmission of documents from the East Palace and the three provinces is through this door.

It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued a strict order, except for the delivery of the three provinces and the East Palace, without the warrant of His Royal Highness the Prince, no one is allowed to pass through this door, and those who dare to break into this door are killed in a hurry, and the slaves and maids did not dare to go over to see the situation in the Pingzhang Courtyard. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were cold and said, "Useless things." ”

Then he stood up and said to Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou: "Let's go and see the Pingzhang Courtyard of the East Palace." ”

Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou also hurriedly got up, Yang Shidao took a step forward and said: "The two palace portals are naturally more rigorous, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a heart." ”

Li Shimin kept walking under his feet when he heard this, but he just nodded in response to Yang Shidao, until he walked out of the main hall and looked up at the sun in the west, and then turned to Ma Zhou and said, "King Bin said how those people in the East Palace assisted Cheng Qian?"

When Ma Zhou heard this, he told Li Shimin in detail about the situation he had observed in the Chongjiao Hall these few times.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sits in the Chongjiao Hall every day, Yan Shigu and the subordinates of the East Palace who were summoned that day sit below, and the chamberlain will send the recitals and documents prepared in the Pingzhang Courtyard to the table of His Royal Highness the Prince.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that it is handled properly, he will draw a tick on the proposed ticket, and then let the scholar of the Chongxian Pavilion copy it, and after the transcription is completed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will draw a seal on it.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that the ticket is not good, he will directly comment on it.

Sometimes when encountering difficult matters, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would consult Yan Shigu and other subordinates of the East Palace who were on duty in the Worship Palace.

Officials from various ministries are sometimes summoned for information. Ma Zhou said as he walked.

"The auxiliary machine is not in the East Palace, who is writing the ticket?" Li Shimin listened to the main point.

"I don't know who wrote the ticket draft, but the ticket plan was written in the Pingzhang Academy, and the Pingzhang Yuan has Xiao Taifu and the six rooms on duty every day, and the ticket should be drafted by them, but who exactly plans how to write it except for the people of the Pingzhang Court and His Royal Highness the Prince, outsiders don't know."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and continued to walk forward, looking at the palace walls in front of him, but he was thinking in his heart what Cheng Qian was going to do?

Li Shimin took Yang Shidao, Ma Zhou and a group of inner servants to follow the small inner servants who explored the way, went out of the Liangyi Gate and turned eastward, passed the Qianhua Gate and the Wude Gate and walked south along the west wall with the East Palace, until after the Zhaode Hall and almost to the north wall of the Zuozangku, he saw a small door four feet wide open on the East Palace wall.

Li Shimin looked at such a narrow small door that was still tightly closed in broad daylight, frowned and said secretly: Why is Cheng Qian's work so small?

The little chamberlain stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a voice came from the other side of the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Ahem!" Li Shimin coughed dryly twice and signaled the little chamberlain not to tell the truth.

The little chamberlain understood, and his eyes rolled and said: "Our family is ordered by His Majesty to spread the will to the east, quickly open the door to our family." ”

On the other side of the door, he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered this door to be used only for the transmission of documents from the three provinces, and others are strictly forbidden to pass through it, that is, the emperor and grandson still go through the training gate every day to study in the Hongwen Pavilion, are you more noble than the emperor and grandson?"

Get out of here and go somewhere else! ”

Hearing this, the chamberlain hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Our family is in a hurry, and you can't afford to delay it, so open the door to our family!" ”

But he didn't eat his set, and directly pushed back and said: "Any edict passed on by the inner servant is the business of the inner servant, and the last general will guard the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, without the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and if it does not comply with the rules, it will not open the door!" ”

Li Shimin heard that the voice was a little familiar, so he said loudly: "Why don't you open the door when I come?"

"Ahh

Bang dang

The two wooden doors opened, and the young Wang Fangyi stood at the door with a confused face and saw Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw that it was Wang Fangyi who nodded slightly, stepped forward and said, "Why don't you give way to me?"

Wang Fangyi hurriedly got out of the way and bowed at the door: "The last general will see Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin walked through the door, glanced back at Wang Fangyi and said, "Why don't you stop me?"

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said that as soon as this door is opened, it is inevitable that there will be some miscellaneous people waiting to pass through it, but every day from this gate is mostly documents from the three provinces, and these documents involve the secrets of the imperial court, so it is ordered that idle people and others are not allowed to pass through this gate, and it is also a matter of preventing the slightest deterioration, how dare the general use this order to stop Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this: "Okay! Close the door and take me to Heishoin. ”

"Honor!"

Wang Fangyi hurriedly walked to the front to lead the way, and Li Shimin followed behind.

Li Shimin said as he walked forward: "King Bin just said that this Pingzhang Courtyard is very mysterious, and I have to go in and have a look today, and I am not allowed to tell Cheng Qianyuan that I am here." The latter sentence was said to Wang Fangyi.

Ma Zhou smiled when he heard this, but Wang Fangyi looked at Li Shimin with an embarrassed face, but he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say.

Li Shimin saw that he was loyal to Li Chengqian, and nodded and smiled: "Then you send someone to tell Chengqian!" ”

"Obey" As soon as Wang Fangyi turned around, one of them ran to the Chongjiao Hall with them.
