Li Shimin's words made all the ministers such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing stunned. After that, the eldest grandson Wuji and others made eye contact with each other in private, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin did not have the idea of establishing Li Zhi, the king of Jin, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Just when these three forces were all doubting, Li Xuan stood up and persuaded peace: "Lord Cen, Lord Xiao, Lord Cui, Lord Lu, Lord Changsun, what you are worried about now I also know in my heart. His Majesty just wants His Royal Highness the King of Jin to stay by his side and stay in the palace, as long as His Majesty guarantees that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will not be allowed to open the mansion and will not be equipped with subordinate officials for His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Why do you want to be aggressive? Why did His Majesty have to force His Royal Highness the King of Jin to be sent to Bingzhou to become a vassal? Father-son affection, everyone has it, why don't you fulfill the royal father and son of His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Jin? ”

Cui Gan, Lu Chengqing and the others all looked at Cen Wenwen, who looked at the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty." If His Royal Highness the King of Jin can stay in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and not let His Royal Highness the King of Jin open the mansion, and not assign subordinate officials to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Your Majesty, can you guarantee it? ”

Li Shimin pretended to be pitiful and said: "I only want King Jin to stay in the palace and stay by my side, I don't want him to open a mansion, I don't want him to be equipped with subordinate officials, I only hope that he will enjoy glory and wealth and stay away from the court." ”

After Cen Wenwen made eye contact with Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, Lu Chengqing, and Changsun Wuji, he said: "In this case, we will no longer force Your Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to become a vassal, so let His Royal Highness the King of Jin stay in the palace and accompany Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin and Li Xuan tacitly understood each other and showed a smile that was not easy to detect.

In the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin summoned Li Zhi, the king of Jin, alone.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, and Li Zhi, the king of the Jin Dynasty, stood respectfully in the middle of the main hall in a red prince's suit.

Li Shimin said to Li Zhi: "I know everything you learned from your grandfather, Emperor Taishang. I also acquiesced. Now that the Emperor Taishang has passed away, and your mother's health has not been very good, you should learn from me.

Emperor Taishang is the world's most brilliant strategist, strategic master, he is good at forbearance, good at stinging (zhe) subdued, good at static braking, planning and then moving, you follow him to learn, will definitely benefit a lot. Emperor Taishang's character and strategy can be said to be the most suitable for the turbulent situation in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and it is precisely his character of forbearance, forbearance and humiliation, and planning to move later. Only then did he become the final winner when he was competing with each other, establish my Tang Empire, and become the founding emperor of my Tang Empire.

But now that the situation has changed, my Datang has become the most powerful country in the world, and the surrounding countries are all respectful and surrender to my Datang. I Datang no longer need to forbear, no longer need to endure humiliation, and no longer need to plan and then act. If any country dares to provoke our Datang, our Datang will destroy its country, capture its monarch, and punish him with capital punishment. to shock the Quartet.

The strategy of the Emperor Taishang, you can learn, it will be of great help to you in dealing with people. But in the country, it inevitably seems a little outdated. In the future, you will learn from your father, and your father will teach you to divide and co-opt, give grace and power, control the countries, and advance forever. In the future, you will better inherit the country of Datang, control the country of Datang, and develop both grace and power to deter all directions. ”

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the residence of the Chinese scholar Lang Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu sat opposite each other.

Cen Wenwen looked sad and thoughtful.

Xiao Yu looked at Cen Wenwen and asked in a low voice, "What?" What else do you have to worry about? Anything else to worry about? Under the joint efforts of our three major political forces, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has been left in the palace by His Majesty. His Majesty also promised not to let His Royal Highness the King of Jin open the mansion, and not to equip His Royal Highness the King of Jin with subordinate officials, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of His Royal Highness the King of Jin becoming my prince of the Tang Dynasty. Lord Cen was worried, could he still have any concerns? ”

Cen Wenwen sighed and said, "Now, Your Majesty and King Jin, I'm not worried. It's just that before I was thinking about why King Yong'an, when Lord Xiao played His Majesty and asked His Majesty to send His Royal Highness King Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain, King Yong'an would stand up and ask His Majesty to send His Royal Highness King Wei to the fief as well. If King Yong'an wants to help Prince Chengqian and expel King Li Tai of Wei, I don't think so, King Yong'an has never interfered in the fight between Prince Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei; Then there is only one possibility, King Yong'an wants His Royal Highness King Jin to stay in this Chang'an City. King Yong'an is extremely resourceful, he must have his plan to do this, I just wonder what King Yong'an is trying to do? Why do you have to let His Royal Highness the King of Jin stay in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? After all, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the crown prince and the most qualified candidate to inherit the throne after the King of Wei, if His Royal Highness the King of Jin gets the secret help of King Yong'an, with the wisdom and means of King Yong'an, everything can happen. We have to worry about that, too. It's about the battle for storage space, and I must find out about it. ”

Xiao Yu also fell into contemplation, but after pondering for a long time, he, like Cen Wenwen, did not come up with a reason, did not understand why Li Xuan did that, and why did he help Li Zhi, the king of Jin, stay in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?

On the morning of the second day, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had not yet arrived, and the court meeting had not officially begun, and the ministers all gathered together in groups of three or five to chat with each other.

Zhongshu Lang Cen Wenwen walked in front of Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, and asked Li Xuan: "King Yong'an, I don't know something, and I hope that King Yong'an will solve my doubts." ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Lord Cen, please speak." ”

Cen Wenwen asked: "King Yong'an, I just can't understand why King Yong'an wants to help His Royal Highness King Jin and let His Royal Highness King Jin stay in Chang'an City, the capital of my Tang Dynasty?" ”

The important ministers around Li Xuan, when they heard Cen Wenwen's question, all pretended to be indifferent, but in fact, they all listened with their ears pricked up and listened to how Li Xuan would answer.

Who knew that Li Xuan did not answer, but unhurriedly took out a notebook from his sleeve and handed it to Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen opened the song and looked at it, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand." ”

As he spoke, Cen Wenwen returned his folded hands to Li Xuan and said, "King Yong'an is dedicated to the country, and the text is admired." ”

After that, Cen Wenwen turned around and returned to his position to regain his footing. (To be continued.) )
