There was a fierce quarrel in the court, and the two sides who supported Dai Guan, who was born in the Guanlong aristocracy, and Cui Gan, who was born in the wealthy family of Shandong, held their own words and argued, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin took the opportunity to announce his retirement from the dynasty. Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Southern Shi clan, sent Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to Bingzhou to serve as a vassal was indeed something that Li Shimin did not expect, and it also caught Li Shimin a little off guard this morning. If it weren't for Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, who guessed his mind and helped himself, it would be really hard to say what the result would be today.

After the next dynasty, in the Taiji Palace, in Li Shimin's study, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and Li Xuan sat opposite each other.

After a moment of silence, Li Xuan opened his mouth and asked Li Shimin: "Does Your Majesty have the heart to want His Royal Highness the King of Jin to become my Prince of the Tang Dynasty, but you can't say it at this time?" ”

Li Shimin nodded worriedly and said, "King Yong'an's guess is right, I really want the young slave to become my prince of the Tang Dynasty, and inherit the unification in the future." The crown prince's ability to inherit the cadres is too weak, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, is talented and unvirtuous, no matter who of the two of them hands over my Datang to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I am not at ease in my heart. The young slave is filial, calm and intelligent, he is indeed much more suitable than the crown prince Chengqian and Li Tai, the king of Wei, and he is more suitable to succeed me as the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Only by letting the young slave become my prince of the Tang Dynasty will I feel at ease.

I don't want to show my mentality, that's because I want to protect the young slaves secretly, and at this time to show my thoughts to the imperial court, whether it is the Guanlong aristocratic group that supports the crown prince Chengqian, or the Shandong Hao clan and the southern scholar clan who support the Wei King Li Tai, they will not allow it, they will resist my decision, and they will also aim their guns and arrows at me and the young slaves.

King Yong'an, you are my confidant, I should have told you about my Yi Zhinu as my Tang Dynasty prince, but I am looking at my Tang Dynasty, because the matter of this battle for the throne has become more and more intense. It's already to the point of tension, and in my heart, I can't help but worry about the turmoil in the court, the instability of the society, and I can't keep it secret and secretly protect the young slaves. Because of the ability of the crown prince Chengqian, and the king of Wei, Li Tai, because of the problem of conduct, they are no longer able to become my prince of the Tang Dynasty, and inherit the unification, among my sons-in-law, there is only one child left who can become the prince of my Tang Dynasty. For the sake of my successors to the Tang Dynasty, I must not allow the slaves to be destroyed by all kinds of conspiracies and open guns and arrows from all directions.

Today's affairs in the court, I was not prepared at all, and I encountered the matter of the secretary and supervisor Xiao Yuzuo asking me to send the young slave to the state to take up the domain, if it wasn't for the king of Yong'an to guess my thoughts, I would really be in a dilemma. ”

Li Xuan said to Li Shimin: "Since Your Majesty has fallen in love with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the minister has great trust in His Majesty's vision and judgment. The minister also understands His Majesty's feelings about secretly protecting His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Majesty's worries about the situation of the court and the country. The minister is willing to assist His Majesty, secretly protect His Royal Highness the King of Jin together, and at the right time, push His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the throne of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. ”

Li Shimin said to Li Xuan with gratitude on his face: "King Yong'an's wisdom is superb. There are many means, and with the help of King Yong'an, I can be more down-to-earth in my heart. ”

After a short silence, Li Shimin said to Li Xuan with a little sorrow: "Now I am in the Tang Dynasty. Because the crown prince Chengqian and the king of Wei, Li Tai, competed for the position of prince, the Guanlong nobles, the Shandong Hao clan, and the southern Shi clan fought with each other, and each tried their best. They are all afraid that in the end, they will let the slave pick up the cheap, and finally the slave will become the prince of my Tang Dynasty, inherit the unification, and let their years of hard work and hard work be in vain. Therefore, I deduce that tomorrow they will inevitably ask me to send the slaves to the state to take up the domain, the slaves are my favorite candidates for the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I can't let them succeed, if the slaves really go to the state and become vassals, if they want to return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, and they will never allow the slaves to come back. King Yong'an, you are extremely resourceful, do you have a way to stop them, don't let them force me to send the young slave to Bingzhou, and at the same time not expose my intention to make the young slave the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the young slave can stay in Chang'an City, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, and it will be convenient for the young slave to succeed to the throne and become my new prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future? ”

Li Xuan pondered and said: "Your Majesty, now Your Majesty and the courtiers have their own opinions, and no one is willing to back down, and the situation has reached a stalemate. The only way to resolve the impasse is for both sides to take a step back, negotiate a compromise and achieve an outcome that is satisfactory and acceptable to all parties. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but become interested, and hurriedly asked: "Negotiate and compromise, take a step back, King Yong'an quickly talk about it, how can we take a step back from each other, so as to achieve a result that is satisfactory and acceptable to all parties?" ”

Li Xuan replied: "According to the minister's analysis, the reason why Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, asked His Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain, is not really to drive His Royal Highness the King of Jin out of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and to go to Bingzhou to become a vassal in the state, what he is trying to do is not to let His Royal Highness the King of Jin have the opportunity to become the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and he does not want His Royal Highness the King of Jin to become a person who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight when the prince Chengqian and Li Tai, the king of Wei, competes, and becomes the person who has the last laugh." ”

After thinking about it, Li Shimin said: "King Yong'an's analysis is accurate. Xiao Yu, they think very well, but how can I let them get their wish? Now that we know Xiao Yu's true intentions, King Yong'an will help me analyze and analyze, what should we do about this? What should I do? ”

Li Xuan analyzed: "Your Majesty, since we already know Xiao Yu's true intentions, then we just need to let Xiao Yu and their intentions be realized, as long as Your Majesty can make Xiao Yu feel that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will never have the opportunity to become the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and will definitely not become the person who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight when the prince and the King of Wei compete, and becomes the person who has the last laugh, then they will inevitably allow His Royal Highness the King of Jin to stay in Chang'an City, the capital of my Tang Dynasty, and stay by His Majesty's side, and not let His Royal Highness the King of Jin go to Bingzhou to become a vassal." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "What King Yong'an said is reasonable, as long as Xiao Yu's intention is realized, I think that the young slave will not become my prince of the Tang Dynasty, and will not replace the crown prince Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai, I also feel that Xiao Yu and they will no longer force me to send the young slave to Bingzhou to take up the domain, and will allow the young slave to stay in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and stay by my side." It's just that, how can this make Xiao Yu and them believe it? Does King Yong'an have a plan? (To be continued.) )
