"Your Majesty, now the Anxi Protectorate is going very smoothly, the Dadu Protector Guo Xiaoke has taken office, General Su has also handed over the military power, and is preparing to return to Beijing to report on his work, but the minister is one step ahead, so he arrived in Chang'an two months earlier than him, and the Feinusi is also a remarkable achievement over there, we have won over some nobles of the Western Turks, and some large tribes are also willing to contact us, as long as we continue to work hard, the Western Turks will sooner or later fall into civil strife again......"

In the Liangyi Palace, Zhao Deyan, who had just returned from the Western Regions, was reporting to Li Shimin about the situation in the Western Regions at this time, especially during the time he went to the Western Regions, the progress of Feinusi over there, although he did not go for a long time, but the effect was very significant, and he had already laid the foundation, as long as there were no big mistakes, the civil strife in the Western Turks was almost a foregone conclusion.

"Good job, you have worked hard during this time, I have asked people to prepare a reward for you, and it will be sent to your home tomorrow, and during your absence, General Ma is also quite hard, and when you come back, you will also help General Ma share some affairs." Li Shimin smiled and praised at this time, and when he said the end, he also deliberately looked at Ma Ye next to him, Zhao Deyan went to Feinu Division first after he came back, and then he entered the palace with Ma Ye to meet Li Shimin.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's understanding, the old minister is indeed a little useless, this time the virtue is back, and he has performed so well, the old minister can rest assured!" At this time, I saw Ma Ye also smiled and said, he used to disobey the old, but as he got older, he couldn't accept the old anymore, and he was also very satisfied with Zhao Deyan's performance.

Hearing the words of Li Shimin and Ma Ye, Zhao Deyan also hurriedly said a few words of modesty, but he was also quite happy in his heart at this time, because Li Shimin and Ma Ye had already admitted that he would take over Ma Ye's position and become the commander of the Fei Nu Division.

At that moment, Li Shimin briefly inquired about the things in the Western Regions, and then let Zhao Deyan and Ma Ye leave, at this time, Ma Ye also held a banquet for Zhao Deyan in the Feinu Division, and some important people in the Division also came, and now they are waiting for him there, so the two of them went out of the Liangyi Hall to prepare to go to the Feinu Division.

The headquarters of the Fei Nu Division was originally in the imperial city, but later the scale of the Fei Nu Division continued to expand, and the personnel composition of the Fei Nu Division was also very complicated, and the control in the imperial city was too strict, so it was really inconvenient for the Fei Nu Division to deal with affairs, so it was later moved out of the Imperial City, and the current Fei Nu Division headquarters was located near the Yanxi Gate on the east side of the imperial city, which was not very far from the Guozijian.

At that moment, Ma Ye and Zhao Deyan walked all the way to the east along the passage on the south side of the Taiji Palace, preparing to leave the imperial city from the Yanxi Gate on the east side, the two also chatted while walking, and after chatting a few words, Zhao Deyan asked with some puzzlement at this time: "General Ma, although Your Majesty praised me just now, I see that Your Majesty doesn't seem to be in high spirits, and he didn't ask in too much detail about the situation in the Western Regions, is there something going on in the court?" ”

Although Feinu Sizhong is well-informed, Zhao Deyan has been in the Western Regions for nearly a year after all, and the news is also very closed, and he has just come back, so he naturally does not know much about the situation in Chang'an.

Hearing Zhao Deyan's words, I saw that Ma Ye smiled bitterly, and it happened that they were about to arrive at Yanxi Gate at this time, so Ma Ye suddenly stopped at this time and said: "A lot of things have indeed happened in Chang'an, such as you listen carefully now!" ”

"Listen?" Zhao Deyan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ma Ye's words, but out of trust in Ma Ye, he still turned his ears to listen carefully at this time, and it turned out that he really heard a lot of sounds, such as the sound of silk and bamboo drum music coming from somewhere, as if someone was holding a grand banquet.

"I heard it, the voice is coming from that direction!" Ma Ye pointed in the direction of their north side as he spoke.

"There? Isn't it the East Palace, does it mean that the prince has a banquet? Zhao Deyan followed Ma Ye's direction, and saw Jiafu Gate at a glance, this palace gate is the main gate of the East Palace, and usually the ministers want to ask to see the prince, they have to pass through here.

"Hehe, the sound of silk and bamboo drum music in the East Palace has been scared for more than ten days, and it doesn't stop day and night, what kind of banquet do you say will be held for more than ten days at once, and who can drink for more than ten days in a row?" Ma Ye said with a wry smile at this time.

"What?" Zhao Deyan was also taken aback when he heard Ma Ye's words, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing, so it seems that there is no banquet in the East Palace at all, but there is another hidden secret!

This place is too close to the East Palace, and it is inconvenient for Ma Ye to say too much here, so he pulled Zhao Deyan to leave here first, and waited until he got out of Yanxi Gate, that is, out of the imperial city, and then he spoke again: "Chang'an is very unpeaceful during this time, the main reason is that it is on the prince, some time ago, the prince didn't know what was going on, and he actually ...... with a servant."

At that moment, Ma Ye told Li Chengqian about some time ago, and even Li Shimin personally killed Cheng Xin and told Li Chengqian about his confinement, but later Li Shimin may have listened to Li Xiu's persuasion, so Li Chengqian's confinement was lifted in advance.

However, just as Li Xiu expected, after Li Chengqian was released from confinement and regained his freedom, after sinking for a period of time, he began an even more absurd life, that is, he gathered hundreds of musicians and dancers in the East Palace and asked them to take turns playing music and dancing, and it has stopped for more than ten days now.

Moreover, Li Chengqian originally went to the early court like other ministers, and Li Shimin would directly hand over some simple government affairs to him, which was also to cultivate his ability to govern, but since the confinement was lifted, Li Chengqian has not gone to the court once, let alone Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining and others, and even Zhao Jie and others are difficult to see him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously angry with His Majesty, but His Majesty is also calm, and he will let the Prince mess around during this time, and it is estimated that after this period of time, His Majesty will find a way to ease the relationship with the Prince." Ma Ye finally spoke again.

Zhao Deyan didn't expect that such a big thing had happened during the time he left Chang'an, and until now, Li Chengqian is still angry with Li Shimin, this is related to the throne, maybe if he is not careful, the prince's position may be changed, which makes him can't help but show a solemn expression, he will have to be more careful in the future, and he must not fall too deep in this battle for the throne.

"By the way, such a big thing happened, and it was Wei Ting, who was next to King Wei, who stabbed this matter to His Majesty, so now King Wei must be very proud, will there be any big moves because of this?" Zhao Deyan suddenly thought of Li Chengqian's opponent Li Tai at this time, and asked eagerly, Li Tai sent someone to woo him last time, but he was rejected by himself.

"Hehe, King Wei can't be proud now, because last time he was too anxious, he actually asked Wei Ting to poke this matter out in person, although His Majesty dotes on him, but it is impossible to blindly indulge him, as far as I know, Your Majesty reprimanded Wei Ting, and also warned King Wei to be honest, as a result, King Wei also stayed in the mansion honestly during this time, and no one in King Wei's family dared to come out to make trouble." mentioned Li Tai, but Ma Ye smiled again.

Zhao Deyan heard Li Tai's current situation, and he was also relieved at the moment, he was really afraid that now that King Wei was moving around, he might be able to win himself over at that time, and after Li Xiu's warning last time, he didn't want to have anything to do with Li Tai anymore.

The sound of drums in the East Palace lasted for nearly a month, and then it slowly quieted down, it is estimated that Li Chengqian himself is tired of it, Li Shimin can be regarded as listening to Li Xiu's suggestion, and has not paid attention to Li Chengqian before, until this time he felt that Li Chengqian's anger finally disappeared, so he ordered to appoint Wei Zheng as the crown prince and prince.

Wei Zheng is a very special figure in the court, he is famous for his advice, and everyone inside and outside the court knows that even Li Shimin has to respect him for three points, it can be said that both the government and the opposition have great prestige, and now Li Shimin appoints Wei Zheng as the crown prince and prince, in fact, he is also showing his attitude, that is, no matter what happens, Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince will not change.

As soon as this news came out, Zhao Jie, Du He and others on Li Chengqian's side were also happy, while the people on Li Tai's side were all mournful, and even the so-called Wei Wang Party had a tendency to be disheartened for a while, after all, most of the reason why they were attached to Li Tai's side was to be able to get support, but now Li Tai's possibility of winning the crown prince is almost blocked, which makes them naturally dead.

This incident was also a very serious blow to Li Tai, and even soon after the news came out, he actually wrote a letter requesting to go to Luoyang to live temporarily, which Li Shimin also agreed, and with Li Tai's departure, no one could threaten Li Chengqian's crown prince for a while, which made Chang'an City, which was originally surging undercurrent, miraculously calm down.

Perhaps seeing the calm of Chang'an City, Li Shimin finally put his mind at ease, and Li Chengqian gambled for a while, and then seemed to slowly lose his anger, and began to go to the early court as usual, and helped Li Shimin deal with government affairs, and the relationship between father and son seemed to have been restored.

It's just that no one knows, but Li Xiu outside Chang'an City is becoming more and more uneasy, because he knows that this kind of calm in Chang'an City is not normal, and then there may be a greater turmoil buried, and at this time, the arrival of a person suddenly broke the tranquility of Chang'an City.
