The main reason why Li Chengqian had problems was Li Tai, the king of Wei, to be precise, Li Shimin's unusual favor for Li Tai made Li Chengqian feel threatened, and even made all kinds of abnormal actions under this kind of pressure, and even his personality was a little distorted.

Li Xiu is not the only one who can see these problems, but Yu Zhining and others also see them, but even if they see it, it is useless, because the decision to solve this problem is not in their hands, but in the hands of Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin did not leave here after dealing with government affairs, but sat there with a contemplative expression, and he remembered a conversation with the eldest grandson Wuji last night, and the content of the conversation was about Li Chengqian.

In fact, Kong Yingda also guessed very accurately, Li Shimin was extremely concerned about Li Chengqian's affairs, especially after he severely punished Li Yuanchang and others last time, he paid more attention to Li Chengqian's changes, but he was usually entangled in government affairs, and he really didn't have time to keep an eye on Li Chengqian all the time, so sometimes he could only ask his most trusted eldest grandson Wuji to help him sort out Li Chengqian's affairs.

According to the report of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian was much more well-behaved than before during this time, and Li Shimin was quite relieved, but then the eldest grandson Wuji told him that Li Chengqian's well-behaved was only superficial, in fact, Li Chengqian should do what he should do, even if there is no Li Yuanchang, but it is too easy to find a few people to accompany him to mess around.

Thinking of the above, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a somewhat frustrated expression on his face, he felt that he had done enough for his son, but why didn't he get the results he wanted, now Li Chengqian no longer seems to be repulsing Zhining and others on the surface, but in fact there is no change, which makes him very sad, and even wonders if it is a mistake for him to make Li Chengqian the prince?

In fact, for Li Chengqian's son, Li Shimin's mood is also very complicated, when he first ascended the throne, he made Li Chengqian the crown prince, it can be said that he is extremely fond of this son, and Li Chengqian also performed very well, which made Li Shimin even more satisfied, and even thought that he could smoothly hand over the throne to him, but he didn't know when the relationship between their father and son became a little estranged?

Li Shimin did not think about the establishment of another prince, especially when Li Chengqian was too willful, not only did the relationship with Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji stiffen, but also injured his leg, making him a disabled person.

But later Li Shimin figured it out, especially after his expedition to Goguryeo, perhaps because the two sides were far away, which made him often think of Li Chengqian's advantages, so after coming back, he also dispelled the idea of Yi Chu, but Li Chengqian's performance disappointed him more and more, even if he tried his best to make Li Chengqian turn back into the original active and promising prince, but the current effect made him feel very disappointed.

"Knock knock~" Suddenly, I saw Li Shimin stretch out his hand and knock on the table a few times, but soon saw an old chamberlain walking in from the side hall, and the other palace maids and chamberlains around also retreated, and these palace maids and chamberlains seemed to be very afraid of this old chamberlain, and when they saw him, they all walked around, not daring to approach each other's side at all.

I saw that this old chamberlain looked about sixty years old, goosebumps and hunchbacks, looked weak, and his appearance was very ordinary, even a pair of eyes were full of turbidity, like an old chamberlain of his age, generally lost its role in the palace, and the good one used to mix would have a separate small courtyard in the palace, and there were people to serve him for the elderly, and the poor one could only be sent to a place where the old maids were concentrated, and no one would know if he died.

"What is King Wei doing over there?" Li Shimin didn't even raise his eyes at this time, and then asked in a very deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei was very active during this time, not only recruiting literati and celebrities everywhere, but even having contact with people in the army, but the people in the army were very cautious about the attitude of the King of Wei, and few people responded, and during this time, because the conference was very popular, so the King of Wei invited those Persian and Roman scholars to the palace for a banquet today." I saw that this old chamberlain also reported in a low tone.

This old chamberlain is the intelligence head of Li Shimin's side, strictly speaking, he is also a person from the Feinu Division, but his identity is very special, although he is nominally subordinate to the Feinu Division, but in fact he only listens to Li Shimin's orders, and he has an independent intelligence network in his hands, mainly to collect information related to the palace and the royal family, after all, the identity of the royal family is special, many of them involve the secrets of the palace, Li Shimin sometimes does not want outsiders to know, so he deliberately created such a secret intelligence network, Even his son is under the watchful eye of this network.

Hearing the old chamberlain's answer, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, he inquired about Li Tai's situation, naturally because of his disappointment in Li Chengqian, so he thought of his other favorite son, but the situation of this son made him very disappointed, especially Li Tai not only began to form gangs in the court, but even contacted people in the army, which had touched his bottom line.

"What about Cheng Qian, you reported before that he not only contacted the people of the family, but also began to contact the people in the army, how is the investigation now?" Li Shimin then asked again, since Li Tai and the people in the army came into contact with this kind of thing, he remembered the matter related to Li Chengqian that this old chamberlain had reported before.

"This ......" I saw that the old chamberlain hesitated for a moment, and then he spoke, "Your Majesty, the prince and Cui Gan do meet often, but every time the two meet alone, no one is allowed to approach, so we can't find out what they are talking about, as for the contact between the prince and the people in the army, we have already found out this matter quickly, but the person who went to investigate was suddenly killed, and the clues of the investigation were also broken." ”

"Killed?" When Li Shimin heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and after a while, he asked again, "How did the person who was killed die, and does it have anything to do with the crown prince?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's strange here, our people were killed by a group of people of unknown origin during the investigation, and the slave maid is definitely not the prince's person, so the slave maid speculates that there must be an important person in the army who has fallen to the prince, otherwise there would not be such a great energy to kill our people." The old chamberlain reported again.

"Huh! What a good courtier of mine, I thought that I had treated them very well and never treated anyone badly, but now it is good that I am not dead yet, and they are in a hurry to start taking sides! Li Shimin also sneered when he heard this, he didn't care about those ministers, because he knew that the foundation of imperial power lay in military power, but now Li Chengqian began to win over the generals in the army, and some people began to fall to him, which made Li Shimin also very angry.

"Your Majesty, there is another news about the crown prince, the slave doesn't know if I should talk about it?" At this moment, he suddenly saw the old chamberlain speak again, but when he said this, his wrinkled face also showed a little hesitation, as if even he found it very difficult to speak.

"Just say anything!" Li Shimin immediately said angrily, recently he has become more and more disappointed in Li Chengqian's son, if it weren't for Li Tai and his success, I'm afraid he would really plan to set up another prince.

"This ......" I saw that the old chamberlain hesitated again, and then gritted his teeth and said, "That's the case, since the princess married the prince, the prince was still resting in the princess's bedroom at the beginning, and the princess gave birth to the eldest grandson before, which was originally a happy event, but according to the news heard by the slave maid, the relationship between the prince and the princess is not very harmonious, and even since the princess was pregnant and the child is born, the prince has never been to the princess's palace." ”

"What?" Li Shimin was also angry when he heard the report of the old chamberlain, he and Empress Changsun were a young couple, and the relationship between the two was very good, when Empress Changsun was pregnant with Li Chengqian, he ran to Empress Changsun almost three times a day, in order to listen to the movement of the son in his wife's belly, but now Li Chengqian is completely different from him, not only does he not care about his wife, but he doesn't even care much about his son, how can Li Shimin not be angry?

Seeing Li Shimin angry, the old chamberlain was also taken aback, but his duty, this kind of thing seems to be the prince's family matter, but in fact, it is also very important, so he has to report it.

"It's really a bastard thing, I haven't learned any of the merits in my body, and I don't even care about my wife, will I still care about the people of the world in the future?" The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately slapped the table and said angrily, when he first chose the crown princess, Li Chengqian was reluctant, so Li Shimin was afraid that he would not be satisfied, so he deliberately let Li Chengqian choose by himself, but among the three alternative women, Li Chengqian chose the princess of the Su family, but he didn't expect him to snub the other party so much after marriage.

"Your Majesty is angry, although the prince is a little cold to the crown princess, but the crown princess is an extremely virtuous woman, and she usually takes care of the prince's life, and the people in the palace praise Your Majesty for choosing a virtuous helper for the prince." Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, the old chamberlain hurriedly spoke again.

Hearing that the crown princess behaved so virtuously, Li Shimin's anger finally subsided a little, but then he also showed a helpless expression, after all, these are his son's family affairs, and it is inconvenient for him to take care of too much.

"Your Majesty, there is another matter here, which is about His Royal Highness the King of Jin, do you want to listen to it?" Perhaps in order to divert Li Shimin's anger, I saw the old chamberlain speaking tentatively again at this time.
