Seeing Li Zhi's anxious appearance, Empress Eldest Sun said, "What's the matter, what's wrong?" ”

Li Zhi said: "The sixth sister-in-law is leaving Chang'an, and they are still taking the children with them, so it seems that they are going out to avoid trouble." ”

Although Li Zhi did not tell Li Zhiming the purpose of Qibi Wuyun and the others going home, Li Zhi was able to guess the general intention.

Empress Eldest Sun realized the danger and couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.

When the Xuanwumen Revolution occurred, Li Shimin asked her to take the child out to hide, and the thrilling scene was like being in front of her.

She guessed Li Su's mood now, and it seemed that it was the same as her mood back then - this was a danger signal.

The shock in the heart of the eldest grandson queen is incomparable!

Empress Changsun thought that Li Tai had made a comeback and risen in the imperial court, and the pressure on Li Su was the same as the pressure on Li Shimin caused by the abolished crown prince Li Jiancheng and others.

So will Li Su also take the extreme road like Li Shimin did back then?

Empress Eldest Sun was covered in a cold sweat. Because of nervousness, her hands were clenched, and her fingers were forced, and the green tendons on the back of her hands were revealed.

Her first feeling was to hurry up and tell Li Shimin. She stood up, took a few steps out, and then stopped, silently saying in her heart, "Calm down, calm down." ”

She sat down, took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and said to Li Zhi: "Li Zhi, what happened in the East Palace, don't mention it to anyone, these days, you have to go to your sixth brother more often, if there is any situation, come and report to me in time." ”

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

At the call of Li Shimin, Chi Gong, the secretary of the military department, came to see Li Shimin.

"Captain Chi Gong, see the emperor." Wei Chi saluted and said.

Li Shimin said: "You can sit down." ”

"Your Majesty." Wei Chigong said.

Li Shimin asked: "In the past two days, the military generals have been moving around frequently, and I heard that many people have also gone to look for you, what happened?" ”

Wei Chigong said: "Nothing, the general Li Jing has been in the army for 50 years this year, and he is about to retire, and the generals want to congratulate him." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, it turned out that this was the case, and he felt that he was too worried, and his heart was half relieved.

Immediately, he felt a sense of loss that he was not invited to participate in such an important event.

Li Jing is the first person in the Tang Army, and his prestige is extremely high, and celebrations like this should be presided over by Li Shimin himself. However, people didn't tell him, which in itself speaks for itself, and he, the emperor, is no longer important in people's minds.

This in itself is a form of protest.

Li Shimin felt a burst of anger in his heart, and felt that he couldn't get down on his face again.

He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Jingde (Wei Chigong's character), this is a good thing, Li Jing is my Tang Dynasty military god, and such a big thing as 50 years in the army should be celebrated."

Hey, why didn't he tell me, I'll do it for him personally. ”

"This ......" Wei Chigong didn't know what to say.

Li Shimin said: "Jingde, how have I treated you over the years? ”

Wei Chigong said: "Your Majesty, you treat your ministers as much as a mountain, and the minister's life will always be yours." ”

Li Shimin said: "Li Jing They held a celebration and didn't notify me, do you have an opinion on me, why didn't you come to tell me?" ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wei Chigong still didn't know what to say.

It's so embarrassing. Wei Chi said respectfully: "People obviously have opinions about you, why are you going?" "He's stupid, and now he doesn't know what to say.

Li Shimin asked: "The generals in the army, apart from congratulating Li Jing, do you have anything else to talk about?" ”

Wei Chigong said: "Everyone is together, just to talk about the previous wars, for so many years, they are all old brothers, and everyone is very emotional about the general's departure from the military circles." So I wanted to give him a lively celebration. ”

Li Shimin's heart was completely put down.

He said, "Jingde, there's nothing else to do, you go back first." ”

Wei Chigong wanted to speak and stopped, and finally left the study without saying anything.

At this point, it's time to get off work. Li Shimin instructed: "Wang De, go to Concubine Liu." ”

Concubine Liu was the concubine of the king of Goguryeo, and Li Shimin saw that she was outstanding, so he brought her back as a concubine.

Empress Changsun had been waiting for Li Shimin to get off work and wanted to talk to him, but when she heard that she went directly to Concubine Liu, she had to give up.

Wei Wangfu.

Li Tai said to Chu Suiliang: "Have you done the list of officials I asked you to make?" ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Okay, the first batch is a total of 32 officials, this is the list. As he spoke, he handed Li Tai a copy of the book.

Li Tai took it and looked at it.

Chu Suiliang said: "These officials are all people who are dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they all express their loyalty to Your Highness. ”

Li Tai said: "Very good, let's replace the lower-level officials first, and wait until those old guys are empty, and then they will be wiped out."

I have now understood that my father intends to support us and balance the power of the crown prince, this is a good opportunity, we must seize it firmly. ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the second batch of officials, the ministers are already looking for them, and they will report back to you soon." ”

Li Tai was in a very good mood, he really wanted to sing a voice, but it was strange to say, he couldn't find a sentence, like the sentence "I am watching the mountain scenery from the city tower" sung by the three evils, so energetic.

At this moment, his guard captain Liu Ting brought better news.

Liu Ting said: "Your Highness, the minister heard a news, saying that several princesses of the East Palace left the East Palace and left Chang'an City.

The minister sent people to follow them secretly to see where they were going, and it seemed that they were heading in the direction of Yunzhou. ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks this is a signal, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own forces in Yunzhou and Fengzhou, and now transferring his family should be to prevent us, which is a good thing." ”

Li Tai asked, "How is it a good thing?" Let's hear it. ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Your Highness, think about it, Yunzhou is the territory of the Tiele Ministry, and Fengzhou is the territory of the Tuli Ministry, which are the two autonomous regions, and they are also the focus of the emperor's prevention.

You just need to remind the emperor that they are going to Yunzhou and Guangzhou now, what are they going to do? I think the emperor will first think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the possibility of rebellion.

Once the emperor has such an idea, think about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have to be skinned if he doesn't die.

Once the crown prince falls, is there a second choice for the crown prince besides you? ”

Li Tai was overjoyed and said: "Good idea, tomorrow morning, I will go to see my father, I don't believe it, this time he won't die of the three evils?!" ”

The next day, the morning dynasty, the Taiji Palace. 10
