Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

On the third day after Li Shimin left the customs, he finally went to court.

All the ministries of the imperial court have reported to Li Shimin about the situation in the past few days.

finally waited for the end of the report, and the anxious Huang Furui hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please uphold justice for your ministers." ”

Li Shimin asked: "Huang Furui, if you have anything, just say it." ”

Huang Fu Rui told Li Shimin how his granddaughter Huang Fu Duan'er was forcibly taken away by Qinggu Daoren.

After speaking, he was full of hope and waited for Li Shimin to administer justice for him.

Li Shimin said: "I know about this matter, your grandson is destined for Taoism, and Daoist Qinggu asked her to assist in refining the pill, and I agreed." ”

Huang Furui said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate, Qinggu Daoist forcibly tarnished the innocence of my granddaughter in the name of alchemy, and my granddaughter has been married to others, how will she behave in the future?" ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, since Huangfu Duan'er entered the alchemy room, the quality of the pills refined by the Qinggu Dao people has indeed been greatly improved. I saw it with my own eyes. Will there still be a fake? ”

Huang Furui said: "Your Majesty, it's not like this, ...... minister"

Without waiting for him to finish, Li Shimin said: "Huang Furui, you are so bold, the glory and wealth of your family are all given to you by me." Now that I'm cultivating and need your grandson's cooperation, are you reluctant?

The world is my world, and my subjects are also my subjects. As a minister I trust, shouldn't you make a little contribution to me and do a little filial piety?

This is my will, do you dare to resist it? ”

At this time, although Huang Furui was very dissatisfied in his heart, he knew in his heart that if he continued to talk about it, he might be guilty of killing his head. So he silently retreated.

Seeing such a result, Li Tai and the others were extremely happy.

Wei Zheng and other ministers were dumbfounded. Most of the upright ministers were also puzzled - is this still the wise and martial Li Shimin?

With that said, Wei Zheng and the others couldn't continue to talk about this topic.

He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, during your absence, Li Tai, the king of Wei, appointed some officials without authorization, and also belittled some officials who disagreed with him.

The minister impeached Li Tai, the king of Wei, for his unauthorized actions. ”

Li Shimin was still unhappy that someone was abusing power, and he asked: "Li Tai, tell me what's going on?" ”

Li Tai stood up and said: "Father, the officials who were belittled by the sons and daughters were because they privately criticized it, saying that it was not a proper job for the father to ask for immortals.

The retainers were afraid that they would make their father angry, so they belittled them.

As for the officials promoted by their sons, they are loyal to their father, and they believe that if they can live forever, it will be the greatest blessing to the Tang Dynasty and all the people.

Seeing that they were loyal, the retainers let them replace those who criticized their father.

The sons are loyal to their father, and they can learn from every day. ”

Li Shimin asked the immortal now, and the most crooked thing was that someone made irresponsible remarks about this matter.

He nodded and said: "Yes, King Wei was right just now, those who talk nonsense behind their backs have been belittled in advance, and it is their blessing to leave the court, if I let them see them, they will definitely be punished heavily." ”

"Damn", the ministers were stunned - is this still the court of the Tang Dynasty? It's all messy now.

Wei Zheng was angry, he stood up, and before he could speak, Li Shimin asked dissatisfiedly: "Wei Zheng, what else do you have to say?" ”

Wei Zheng was just about to speak, but Fang Xuanling coughed beside him and reminded him not to be impulsive.

Wei Zheng remembered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reminder to him, asking him to talk to Li Shimin to talk about strategy, not always hard top. He saw that Li Shimin's current state was purely like a tiger trying to eat people.

So, he held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and couldn't retreat.

Many ministers have now understood that it is now the King of Wei, Li Tai and others who have gained power. Many people's hearts began to live, thinking about finding a way to join them.

Seeing such a result, Li Tai was a little disappointed. He originally thought that Huang Fu Rui, Wei Zheng and others would definitely confront Li Shimin face to face because of Huang Fu Duan'er's matter.

In that case, Li Shimin may belittle them. I didn't expect them to endure it.

Li Tai didn't want to miss it, and the people of Qinggu Dao tried their best to win the opportunity.

He said: "Father, Huang Fu Rui and others are very dissatisfied with the fact that Huangfu Duan'er entered the palace and cooperated with Qinggu Daoren's alchemy.

At the beginning, when Erchen sent his own guard captain Liu Ting to invite Huangfu Duan'er, Huangfu Rui, Wei Zheng and others went to Huangfu Rui's house to prevent Huangfu Duan'er from entering the palace.

Later, they also went out of the city in the middle of the night to turn the emperor around.

The sons thought that they were disrespectful to their father, and suggested that they be punished. ”

Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all, although he has been poisoned by drugs and is not very sober now, but he has long-term accumulated feelings for Huang Furui and Wei Zheng and others, and he still will not punish them.

He said: "Since Huangfu Duan'er has already entered the palace, don't mention this matter again." I'm a little tired, so let's retreat. ”

Although Li Tai did not get rid of Wei Zheng and the others, he was very satisfied with his victory in the court today. He was so full of ambition that he suddenly wanted to sing twice, and he opened his mouth and came: "I am ...... the castle tower."

He suddenly realized: "How can Lao Tzu learn to get rid of the three evils." He stretched out his hand and slapped one of his mouths, and said in his heart: "This three evils are really ghostly." ”

Li Tai clearly realized that the target he really needed to deal with was the crown prince Li Su.

He found Yuan Tiangang and went with him to find the Qinggu Daoist.

Li Tai told them about the situation in the court today.

Qinggu Daoren was a little depressed and said: "It seems that the emperor has not been completely controlled, and the effect of the medicine will be increased in the future." ”

Li Tai asked a little worriedly, "Dao Chief, will my father be in danger like this?" ”

Qinggu said: "It's okay, increase the dosage a little, it's just to make the emperor more dependent on the pill, don't worry about the rest." ”

Wei Zheng and the others were worried.

When the ministers saw this situation in the court, some upright ministers were ready to resign and leave the court. They proposed this idea to Prime Minister Wei Zheng and others. was dissuaded by Wei Zheng and others, and told them to wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back.

At this time, the crown prince Li Su had already passed Tongguan and was about to return to the Great Wall.

But he didn't know that a huge conspiracy against him had begun.
