The spring breeze is warm in February.

Li Shimin called the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and several other strategists to the side hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Datang has gradually settled down, all the problems that should be dealt with have basically been dealt with, but the body of my father is getting worse and worse."

Li Yuan's health is not bad, and he can almost be fortunate with a palace maid every day, but in Li Shimin's opinion, his father's body is at the right time.

Eldest Sun Wuji, these people are all smart people, after hearing this, they still don't understand what Li Shimin means?

He doesn't want to be a prince anymore.

"Yes, the Holy Lord's health is indeed getting worse and worse, and this throne should be abdicated to You, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's long overdue, now that the Holy Lord ignores the government, why not hand it over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible?"

“…………”

A few people said it one by one, but at this time, Du Ruhui suddenly said: "It should be handed over, but before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the throne, some things must be done." ”

Li Shimin, Eldest Sun Wuji and the others were stunned, now that they have done what they should do, what else do they need to do?

"What do you mean?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Du Ruhui and asked, although the eldest grandson Wuji thought that he was very good at governing the country and had strong political ability, but in front of Du Ruhui, he never dared to hold it up.

"Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's old party, this time encountered expansion."

"What do you mean?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spared them, and also gave them high-ranking officials, they despise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a little, so many Li Jiancheng's old party have been a bit high-profile recently, in case these people make some trouble when they are in the Zen position, it's not good, so what I mean, I might as well warn them."

As soon as Du Ruhui said this, everyone else immediately understood.

In recent months, in order to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and avoid unnecessary turmoil, Li Shimin has appeased Li Jiancheng's old party if it can be appeased, and if it can't, he will send people to persuade him.

Over time, if they are too good, it will be easy for them to have some other ideas, which is not good for Li Shimin.

Sparing them means sparing them, but it doesn't mean that they can do whatever they want, and it doesn't mean that they won't do anything to them.

Sometimes, you do need to deter them.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Du is reasonable, but how to deter them?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone was stunned, they did find out the problem, but how to deter it is a problem, and now those people are just a little high-profile, and they may still have a little contempt for Li Shimin in their hearts, but these are not problems that can be found?

In other words, it's not illegal.

It is impossible to say that in order to deter them, punish them for whatever reason, that would not achieve the goal, but would cause some undesirable situations.

Be reasonable in everything.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and even Du Ruhui, who raised this question, had no other better way for a while.

And at this time, a little eunuch ran over: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Doctor Sun asks to see you." ”

"Sun Simiao?" Li Shimin is a little strange, they are discussing national affairs here, what kind of excitement did Sun Simiao have a doctor come to join in?

However, after hesitating for a while, Li Shimin still let Sun Simiao in.

After Sun Simiao came, Li Shimin asked, "Doctor Sun entered the palace, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Sun Simiao nodded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, after some investigation by his subordinates, he finally found out the cause of Princess Danyang's illness. ”

At this time, Xue Wanche was already engaged to Princess Wanchun, and even if the cause of Princess Danyang was found, it would not have much impact on Li Shimin, but he still cared about some brother and sister feelings, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The subordinates learned from several patrolling soldiers that the night before Princess Danyang's illness, they found a suspicious person outside Princess Danyang's mansion, most likely, that person did something in Princess Danyang's diet, as long as they found that person, they might be able to know what Princess Danyang's illness was."

Hearing that someone was doing things in Princess Danyang's diet, Li Shimin was suddenly a little angry, and said: "How can this be reasonable, someone dares to poison the princess, this person must be found, and he will not be spared after he finds it." ”

When Li Shimin was angry here, Du Ruhui's eyes moved slightly, and then he hurriedly stood up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, how about this matter be handed over to the minister and Jingzhao Mansion to co-organize?" ”

This matter can be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion to handle, Du Ruhui suddenly wanted to do it, Li Shimin was a little surprised, but thinking of what happened just now, Li Shimin suddenly seemed to understand something.

They can't find a chance to deter those people, isn't this just an opportunity?

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Master Du."

When Li Shimin said this, Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment, this matter was handed over to Jingzhao Mansion, Qin Tian was so good at doing things, and now he suddenly added a Du Ruhui, then Qin Tian wants to do it, I'm afraid it won't be easy, right?

But now that Li Shimin has said so, he can't help but worry about it, so he can only pray to Qin Tian for more blessings.

After Sun Simiao finished speaking, he retreated, and Du Ruhui said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if it is the old party of the Prince who poisons His Royal Highness the Princess, then everything will be easy to do." ”

Sure enough, for this, Li Shimin smiled lightly: "Master Du is going to do this, no problem, right?" ”

"Naturally, there is no problem."

This is a matter of framing one or two people, and ordinary people may not really do it, but it is not a problem for how you look at it.

He has few principles, everything is only based on profit.

After saying this, Du Ruhui began to work on this matter.

At the same time, Sun Simiao also told Qin Tian about the situation.

Qin Tian heard that Du Ruhui was going to supervise this matter, and he was a little nervous, although they were all Li Shimin's people, but he had always been close to Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin, and the civil servants and strategists like Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling had little contact.

This Du Ruhui is an extremely smart person, if he finds out what he is doing, will it be bad?

Qin Tian felt that he had done another thankless thing, and he was originally doing this to help Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was still making trouble for himself, and he wouldn't help him if he knew it.

Qin Tian was a little hesitant in Jingzhao Mansion, hesitating whether to continue to do this, he had almost prepared everything he should have prepared, and there was still an old party of Li Jiancheng who had only recently been arrested in the cell, and it was an old party that refused to surrender to Li Shimin, and he was ready to replace him.

But now this situation makes him feel very dangerous.

"My lord, Lord Du Ruhui is here." Just as he was thinking about it, a servant came running to tell him.
