In Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Li Xuan sat opposite each other.

Li Shimin's pro-army, Zhai Changsun, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, pushed open the palace gate, walked quickly to Li Shimin's approach, and reported to Li Shimin: "After Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, returned to his mansion, he completely opened the door of his mansion and demolished the wall in the mansion. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Li Xuan looked at each other and smiled. The words "showing weakness, avoiding suspicion, and being afraid" quickly appeared in the minds of the two.

Li Xuan only wanted to understand the reason why Li Jing was trusted by Li Shimin in history: one is that he is open-minded, acts in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty everywhere, is very strict with himself and his subordinates, and resolutely does not say, listen, do, or want to touch the rules; The second is to be afraid, take the initiative to show weakness, avoid suspicion, and alleviate the suspicion of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Li Jing is afraid, this is good, it is much better than not knowing how to advance and retreat, blindly being strong." Li Jing showed his sincerity, I can rest assured, he can also enjoy wealth and prosperity, in this way, everyone is happy, how good. ”

Li Xuan knew that Li Shimin, as an emperor, was unusually lonely and a veritable loner. The chair he made was very ordinary, but after all, there was only one in the whole world. That chair exudes a powerful magic that appeals to everyone with political ambitions. All Li Shimin has to do is to stand on that chair tightly, and he will dispose of anyone who wants to sit on that chair one by one, whether that person is his father or his brother, he can't take away his chair. Once someone else takes away that chair, it is equivalent to taking away everything Li Shimin has, power, dignity, and of course the most precious life. Li Shimin's eyes widened vigorously, vigilant against everyone around him. Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Cui Gan, Lu Chengqing, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Hou Junji, and of course, Li Xuan. These people closest to him are all in Li Shimin's vigilance and suspicion. And the biggest threat is Li Jing, the auxiliary general who has the strength and holds the military power, and now Li Jing takes the initiative to show weakness and avoid suspicion, how can the Tang Emperor Li Shimin not laugh heartily to celebrate?

Soon, Li Xuan got up to say goodbye, left the Taiji Palace, and returned to his Yong'an Palace, which was located in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Ganlu Palace, the head of the four concubines of the Tang Dynasty - the palace of Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty. Now in the Ganlu Palace, only Concubine Yang and her son, Li Ke, the king of Shu, live together.

The room of Li Ke, the king of Shu. Li Ke, the six-year-old king of Shu, complained to his personal eunuch Wang Jixiang: "Presumptuous, Xu Cai, a damn minion, is the godson of the chief eunuch Wang Fugui, and he acts recklessly in this palace. First, he reduced my grandfather's use in the palace, and now he has bullied my Ganlu Palace. My mother is the head of the four concubines of the Tang Dynasty, but she is dedicated to the Buddha and does not ask about miscellaneous matters, he is only a slave. He even dared to weaken the palace use of my Manna Palace. What a big dog's guts, this king has to teach him a lesson, otherwise this palace still doesn't think that my Ganlu Hall is easy to bully, and isn't it all turned upside down? ”

Wang Jixiang cautiously comforted Li Ke, the king of Shu, and said, "Your Highness, you are now fledgling. is just six years old, and Concubine Yang is devoted to Buddha again. You should teach Xu Cai a lesson, but Xu Cai is the godson of the eunuch chief Wang after all. The slave felt that it was not worth it for His Highness to do this now. It's better to wait a few more years, when His Highness is full-fledged. When the time comes, His Highness will be His Majesty's beloved son. Xu Cai, a minion, didn't His Highness get rid of it whenever he wanted? ”

Li Ke, the king of Shu, said angrily: "Couldn't I get rid of Xu Cai, an arrogant and domineering minion now?" I want to see what he Wang Fugui dares to do to His Highness? ”

At dusk, the whole palace is quiet as if an ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains, Xu Cai, the chief supervisor of the Shangku Supervisor in charge of the palace, according to the past habits, swaggering on the way to the Taiji Palace, Li Ke, the king of Shu, took his personal eunuch Wang Jixiang and he walked in the opposite direction.

Seeing Li Ke, the king of Shu, Xu Cai did not have the slightest respectful attitude, but raised his head high, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he didn't look at Li Ke, the king of Shu. He secretly said in his heart: "This kid, his mother is the daughter of the remnants of the previous dynasty, a generation of faint monarchs Yang Guang, and he is even more remnants of the previous dynasties. A few days ago, the use of the Manna Hall was reduced, and it seems that it will be reduced in the future. Isn't that a waste? ”

Li Ke, the king of Shu, slowly walked in front of Xu Cai, and suddenly fell in front of Xu Cai.

Wang Jixiang, who was following closely behind Li Ke, hurriedly went to help, and asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" How can you fall down suddenly? ”

Li Ke pointed at Xu Cai with his small hand and said angrily: "This minion, he hit me." ”

Xu Cai roared fiercely and violently at that time: "Little beast, what did you say? Who hit you? You fell down by yourself, and you dare to lie to me? Don't you want to live? ”

Li Ke was not intimidated by Xu Cai's fierce posture, but still sat on the ground, arguing loudly with Xu Cai. The sound of quarrels resounded throughout the quiet Tang Palace.

At night, in Taiji Palace, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was reviewing the folds, learned about the collision and argument between Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Xu Cai, his brows furrowed slightly, and he put down the folds in his hand with displeasure.

Wang Fugui, the chief eunuch standing behind Li Shimin, bowed down and whispered to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "The people below are not sensible, and they have made Your Majesty angry. Slave, let's deal with it, please rest assured, Your Majesty. ”

Li Shimin hummed softly noncommittally, Wang Fugui walked in front of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, bowed, and left the Taiji Palace.

Soon, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were summoned to the palace of the court.

The palace is a palace within the palace that punishes palace maids and eunuchs. The interior is equipped with a torture chamber and a labor chamber. According to the severity of the crimes committed by the court maids and eunuchs, those who committed minor crimes were sent to the labor chamber to perform heavy labor, and those who committed serious crimes were sent to the torture chamber to endure various cruel punishments.

The chief eunuch Duan Wang Fugui sat on a high-backed chair with yellow pears, and the stewards of the palace at all levels stood around him like stars and moons.

And Xu Cai, the head of Shangku's supervisor and Wang Fugui's godson, was tied up by a group of fierce eunuchs and entered the palace of the court. (To be continued......)
