Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, Helan Chushi, the guard of the East Palace, Li Anyan, the chief captain of the armed police Chang'an, Zhao Jie, the prince of Kaihua, Shi Jin, the deputy captain of the prince's guard, Xue Tongshan, the captain of the palace guard, and the assassin Zhang Shizheng, a total of 154 people, were beheaded and their homes were confiscated.

The crown prince Li Chengqian, because of his three teachers Kong Yingda and Yu Ningzhi, as well as Zhang Xuansu, who had resigned and returned to his hometown, all interceded for Li Chengqian. Li Shimin got off the donkey down the slope, abolished Li Chengqian as a concubine, and sent it to Fengzhou.

Clear-eyed people know that Fengzhou seems to be a miasma outside the fortress, but it is actually a rich and rich place, and it is the base of His Royal Highness King Liang. Li Chengqian has such a result, and it is obvious that His Royal Highness King Liang is at work.

Soon, Li Chengqian left Chang'an and went to Fengzhou. Li Su, the king of Liang, secretly sent a team of Flying Tigers to escort him.

The crown prince was officially deposed, and the matter of establishing the crown prince rose to the top priority of the imperial court.

Li Chengqian's matter was resolved, and both the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress breathed a sigh of relief. The eldest grandson Wuji is now full of thoughts about supporting Li Zhi to ascend to the throne, and he analyzed several of his current opponents:

Li Ke has a certain amount of power in the DPRK, and he is a strong contender.

Li Tai has many supporters, and it seems that he is the most powerful, but the eldest grandson Wuji has already sensed Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with Li Tai, especially what Li Tai did to Li Chengqian. He knew that it was unlikely that Li Shimin would choose Li Tai.

Even if Li Shimin had this idea, the eldest grandson Wuji was sure to persuade him not to choose Li Tai.

For Li Su, the king of Liang, he couldn't be sure. This King of Liang usually does not go to court and seems to be very idle. There is no sign of forming a gang to compete for the position of the prince, it is said that it has now reached a critical moment, and King Liang should take the initiative to ask for the court to increase his influence in the court. However, he was still immersed in the activities of the research institute, and seemed to be indifferent to the affairs of the court.

Moreover, this time, King Liang came forward for the abolished prince, obviously risking the suspicion of being Zhulian, and also offended many opponents of the abolished prince. It's not like it's a battle for position.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, decided to deal with Li Ke, the king of Shu, first.

Soon, the opportunity came.

Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Just after dealing with Li Chengqian's affairs, Li Shimin's spirit improved a little, and he began to go to court normally. Regarding the matter of establishing the crown prince, he does not express his position now, nor does he talk about it.

As the first emperor of the ages, he naturally has his advantages, he knows that the establishment of a new prince is the focus of everyone's attention at present, and all he has to do is deliberately not to express his position. He's going to see what everybody's going to do next.

Li Shimin is listening to a report by the Ministry of Commerce on the adjustment of commercial taxes. At this moment, the palace attendant forwarded a note received by Zhongshu Province - a sudden rainstorm in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Hedong Province, the river burst its banks, and 17 counties were affected, and the imperial court was asked to provide disaster relief.

Li Shimin told the ministers the contents of the recital and asked, "What do you think about the flood in Hedong Province?" ”

Wei Zheng first stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of disaster relief cannot be delayed, and rescue must be organized immediately. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Lord Wei's opinion, the minister seconded it. ”

There is no doubt about this matter. There was a chorus of seconding in the court.

At this time, the counselor Chu Suiliang (one of the prime ministers of the late Zhenguan period) said: "The scale of this flood is huge, and the results of the disaster relief directly affect the prestige of the imperial court. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Do you have any candidates?" ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Everyone knows that for disaster relief, the most experienced person in Datang is His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Everyone still remembers, in the 9th year of Zhenguan, the Yongtong Canal leaked and the official road was blocked. At that time, His Royal Highness the King of Shu dealt with it decisively, dredged the official road, and repaired the Yongtong Canal. It has ensured the supply of daily necessities for millions of people in Chang'an City.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu has rich experience, coupled with his status as a prince, and the minister recommends His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”

As soon as his words fell, many people in the court came out to second.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, seemed to have a mirror in his heart - this was the eldest grandson Wuji trying to get him to leave Chang'an. This immediately made Li Ke fall into a passive state.

He agreed, and at this critical moment, leaving Chang'an was very unfavorable for him to compete for the position of the crown prince.

He didn't say yes, and he couldn't. He must not put the safety of the people at risk, for then he will immediately lose the hearts and minds of the people. He was quickly calculating in his head.

At this moment, Li Shimin's voice sounded: "King Shu, what is your opinion?" ”

Li Ke had no choice but to stand up and say, "Father, my son, thank you for your expectations of me. However, Erchen only has a little experience, and he has no practical experience in real disaster relief work. In addition, Erchen has been unwell recently, often dizzy and nauseous, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. ”

Chu Suiliang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, among all the princes, you are known for your decisiveness and have the demeanor of an emperor. Disaster relief is like fighting fires, and it is urgent. It requires people with decisive ability to make decisions and command on the spot, and others may not have this ability.

For the sake of hundreds of thousands of people, he also invited His Royal Highness the King of Shu to come and command in person. ”

The ministers seconded for a while.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Okay, this matter is decided. Li Ke, the king of Shu, listened to the order. You can select the relevant officials and go to Hedong to direct the disaster relief. ”

Li Ke had no choice but to respond: "The son obeys the order." ”

It turned out that the report of the flood in Hedong had arrived the day before yesterday, and the eldest grandson Wuji seized this piece and doubled the area affected in the piece. He discussed with Chu Suiliang and others in advance, and today he suddenly attacked in the court, which caught Li Ke off guard.

Li Ke was helpless, returned to the Shu Palace, and discussed with his friends.

His sworn friend Chai Zhewei, the son of Chai Shao, the son of Xianggong Chai Shao, the left servant shot Shang Shufang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, the head of the Shu Palace, Shi Quan Wanji, the imperial history Zhao Wannian, Zhou Jin and others were all frowning, worried about Li Ke, the king of Shu.

Fang Yiai said: "Today's sudden attack by Chu Suiliang is obviously to force His Royal Highness out of Chang'an. This is a critical moment for the establishment of the prince, and His Royal Highness cannot leave Chang'an. ”

Everyone said, "Yes, Your Highness, you can't leave Chang'an." ”

Changshi Quan Wanji is known as Xiao Zhuge and is at a loss at this time. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work if you don't go." The only way to do this is to rush to the scene of the flood in Hedong immediately and deal with the flood as soon as possible. Such a great merit can add points to His Highness. ”

Chai Zhewei said: "What if when His Royal Highness leaves Chang'an, the emperor proposes to appoint a prince? ”

Quan Wanji said: "This is certain. The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others forced His Royal Highness out of Chang'an, just to do things during this period. They will definitely encourage the emperor to appoint a crown prince. ”

Li Ke said annoyedly: "That's it, let's disperse first, I'll go to my mother to find a way." ”
