Erchen felt that the fourth brother was a little too fat, so he was ready to let him take this opportunity to lose weight. If you want to lose weight, there is no better place to go than Prince Wei rate. Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"It's a good place to go, but what position are you going to put him in the crown prince's guard?" Li Shimin nodded and asked.

"Let him start as a soldier first, as long as he can keep up with the training of ordinary soldiers, the retainers will promote him. When he satisfied his son, he returned him to his father and let him continue to be his prince. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Then this matter is so decided, I hope you can give me back a king of Yue who can settle the world when he gets on the horse and rule the world when he gets off the horse." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Father, there is one more thing that I hope my father will approve of my father." Li Chengqian did not care about Li Tai's bitter face, but continued to say to Li Shimin.

"As long as you don't go out of line with what you ask, I won't be denied." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian.

"There are a total of ten princely guards around Erchen, which are the left and right guard rates, the left and right Siyu rates, the left and right clearing rates, the left and right prison gate rates, and the left and right internal rates."

"In addition to the left and right prison gate rates and the left and right internal rates, the other six rates are all under the unified three or five folds to the government. However, Erchen felt that as the prince of the East Palace, there was no need to control the military power at all. ”

"It's better to wait for my father to pass on the throne to his sons, and hand over the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty to his sons. The same effect will be achieved when the time comes. ”

So the son decided to return six of the ten rates of the crown prince to his father. It is enough for the retainers to leave the left and right prison gate rates and the left and right internal rates. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

Everyone thinks that the power in their hands is small, but this Li Chengqian actually did the opposite and directly handed over the military power that should have belonged to him. This is absolutely unprecedented.

"Your Majesty, you must not agree to the request of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the emperor agrees, where will the power of the prince of the East Palace be? The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said to Li Shimin.

"Uncle, don't worry, this palace is not preparing to be a light pole marshal. Didn't the main palace leave the left and right prison gate rate and the left and right internal rate? Having them there is enough to keep the palace safe. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Eldest grandson Wuji, don't you understand this kid's good intentions. He just didn't want to make trouble, so he handed over the six rates. Cheng Yanjin on the side opened his mouth and said to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything to Cheng Chengjin, but continued to say to Li Shimin: "Erchen is going to build four military camps in the four corners of the East Palace, and live in the four guards left by Gongerchen. ”

At the same time, Erchen felt that the names of the left and right prison rates and the left and right internal rates were too ugly. Therefore, Erchen is ready to change them to the Qinglongwei rate, the Vermilion Bird Guard rate, the White Tiger Guard rate and the Xuanwu Wei rate. ”

Then let them live separately in the East Palace to keep the East Palace safe and sound. Please also ask for your father's permission. ”

Li Shimin naturally understood Li Chengqian's thoughts, although the crown prince was nominally subordinate to the prince of the East Palace. But in fact, the command is not in the hands of the prince of the East Palace.

And the rate of the four elephant guards that Li Chengqian wants to newly form is different. They will not only be Li Chengqian's bodyguards, but will also become Li Chengqian's real descendants.

In the end, Li Shimin thought about it and said: "The prince's ten rates naturally cannot be arbitrarily dismissed. However, it is not an exaggeration for the prince to form four pro-guard roads. ”

"From now on, Cheng Chumo will be the general of the prince's ten rates, responsible for commanding the prince's ten rates. As for the prince's gradual four-elephant guard rate, it was formed by the prince himself. ”

"There were four thousand men in all, and all military expenses were borne by the prince himself. The chief generals at all levels also have the prince recruiting on his own. Soldiers can be selected from the ten rates of the prince. ”

It stands to reason that Li Chengqian should be happy when he hears Li Shimin's arrangement. But at this time, Li Chengqian had a bitter melon on his face.

And said to Li Shimin: "Father, Cheng Chumo is the long history of his son, and there are things in his son's East Palace that he can't manage." How about handing over the prince's ten rates to a few old princes? ”

"That's it, there's no need to discuss it. As for Jingzhou's assassin Shi Helan Yingde, he was executed at three o'clock in the afternoon today. and ordered the governor of Jingzhou, Wu Shitong, to behead Helan Yingde. Li Shimin said.

"Father, in this Helan Yingde case, Helan Yueshi actively cooperated with his sons. Only then did all the evidence be gathered. Therefore, the son begged his father to spare Helan Yueshi's life. Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

In this case, the death penalty can be forgiven. Leave it in your East Palace to listen to it. Li Shimin nodded and said.

At the beginning, Helan Yingde heard Li Chengqian pleading for his son, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that Li Chengqian would do what he said. But when he heard Li Shimin's decision, he couldn't help but change his face.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Chengqian spoke again: "Father, the son thinks this is a little cruel. How about exile Helan Yueshi for thousands of miles? ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's nose almost lost his breath. I secretly said in my heart: "This is all your kid's idea, and now you have detained the basin on my body." ”

However, on this occasion, Li Shimin could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. So I saw Li Shimin say with a gloomy face: "I can give you two choices." One, let him follow his father to the Netherworld. Or go to your East Palace as a eunuch honestly. ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Chengqian could only reluctantly say to Helan Yingde: "This is not the palace's words and untrustworthy. So if you have any grievances, wait until the Netherworld reports to the underworld, and then come back to find your father's theory. ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, Li Shimin almost couldn't even sit on the dragon chair. Angry, Li Shimin stood up directly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and then turned around and left the Taiji Hall.

Seeing Li Shimin turn around and leave, Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "I also said that people don't understand it." As the Ninety-Five, he didn't even know how to say hello when he left. ”

Li Chengqian's voice was very low, and the civil and military officials in the Taiji Hall couldn't hear it clearly. But Li Shimin, who had just left not far away, naturally heard it clearly. Moreover, some important ministers who were close to him naturally heard what Li Chengqian said.

This couldn't help but make Li Shimin stomp his feet in anger, and then left the Taiji Hall with a cold snort.

Although the civil and military officials didn't know what was going on, they naturally didn't dare to ask. Then he left the Taiji Hall in twos and threes.

And this time, the eldest grandson Wuji came to Li Chengqian. And said to Li Chengqian straight to the point: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, aren't you afraid that the emperor will abolish your crown prince again?" ”

"Eldest grandson Wuji, you really don't know the emperor's nephew. He wished that the emperor would depose his crown prince? And then he was at ease. Cheng Yanjin on the side patted Changsun Wuji and said.
