The sudden death of Emperor Li Yuan, the crown prince Chengqian understood that Li Shimin and Li Yuan were estranged (he), and followed Li Shimin's pace closely, and the etiquette was very sufficient, but he was not very sad; Li Tai, the king of Wei, was even more hateful, as if the death of his grandfather Li Yuan had nothing to do with him, and he still ate, drank and had fun, won over the officials of the DPRK and China, and did his great thing of fighting for the throne; Only Li Zhi, the king of Jin, cried bitterly, and he couldn't help himself with grief, so that he fell seriously ill because of it. The every move of the crown prince Chengqian, the king of Wei, Li Tai, and the king of Jin Li Zhi was all in the attention of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

In Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and sighed with emotion: "Prince Chengqian, figure out my attitude and follow my steps." Although I had a gap with the Emperor Taishang before, the Emperor Tai was not thin on him, Li Tai, and the childish slaves, and they all loved the three of them. Figure out my psychology, follow my steps, the prince Chengqian, he is putting politics above family affection, he doesn't know, the most important thing in this world is the rare family affection, the most ruthless emperor's family, if you don't even pay attention to the last bit of family affection, don't cherish it, then what is the difference between it and the livestock who don't know family affection, only know interests and benefits?

Li Tai, the king of Wei, is a beast, in his heart, but there is still a little bit of the concept of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness? The filial piety taught by Sage Kong, he forgot everything about it, and after reading the book for so many years, he didn't read a word in his heart, only stayed on his lips. If such a person really becomes the prince, inherits the unification, and inherits the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of my Datang, it will really be a disaster for my Datang and the people of my Datang.

Only the slave is a righteous man. My three sons-in-law, this time. The only person with a human touch is him. The young slave is a benevolent and righteous person, and he will succeed to the unification in the future, and he will be a benevolent and righteous king with the people in mind, and he is the Ming monarch that my Tang Dynasty and my Tang people are looking forward to. ”

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

In the study, the Chinese scholar Lang Cen Wenwen and the secretary and supervisor Xiao Yu sat opposite each other.

Cen Wenwen said to Xiao Yu with a worried face: "Lord Xiao, now the age of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is not young, he is the third son of His Majesty." We can't make efforts here to let Li Tai, the king of Wei, arch the crown prince Chengqian from the storage position, and finally let Li Zhi, the king of Jin, pick up the peaches. Become my prince of the Tang Dynasty and succeed him in the future. ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Lord Cen is too worried, what kind of knowledge is this Jin King Li Zhi learned, you and I are very clear." Those who are full of mouths are also full of sour words, and there is really no way to govern the country, such a person will also pick up peaches. Isn't it a big joke to become my prince of the Tang Dynasty and inherit the unification? When the time comes, the ministers will definitely not choose such a person. As my prince of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Cen Wenwen still said worriedly: "Although my plan is accurate, instigating the talented and unvirtuous King Li Tai to bring down the cowardly Prince Chengqian, I have finally reached the level of letting His Royal Highness the King of Shu succeed to the throne." Inherit the purpose of the unification. But after all, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is His Majesty's son-in-law, as long as he stays in this Chang'an City, he has the qualifications to become the prince. Lord Xiao. Look at it, now in addition to His Majesty's young sons, what other adult sons are left in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? Isn't it the crown prince Chengqian, the king of Wei Li Tai, His Royal Highness the King of Shu and his Jin King Li Zhi? In His Majesty's heart, these four are all likely to become princes, and among the other princes who lack virtue and ability, which one of them was sent out by His Majesty early on, went to their respective fiefdoms, and became vassal kings. Lord Xiao, don't forget, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was relegated to Shu by His Majesty because of our betrayal and weakness, but now, His Majesty is not satisfied with the crown prince Chengqian and Li Tai, the king of Wei, so he summoned His Royal Highness the King of Shu back to Beijing to be the choice of the prince. This Jin King Li Zhi is now the biggest variable in my plan, I must find a way to drive him out of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the center of political power in the Tang Dynasty, so that he can no longer be my reserve candidate for the Tang Dynasty Prince in the future, so that I can rest assured, and my plan can be implemented in an orderly manner according to the original plan, ensuring that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will become the prince of the Tang Dynasty as a concubine and succeed the unification. ”

Xiao Yu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Then Lord Cen thinks how can he drive this Jin King Li Zhi out of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty?" Let this Jin King Li Zhi no longer be a variable in our plan. ”

After thinking for a while, Cen Wenwen said: "According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, except for the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the other princes must be at least twelve years old, and after the crown ceremony, they must leave Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and go to their respective territories to take up vassals. His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but he has reached the age of twelve, and he has reached the age of becoming a vassal. ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Lord Cen, this plan is good." I will go to court tomorrow morning, and I will ask Your Majesty to let the King of Jin take up the vassal and go to Bingzhou. ”

Cen Wenwen nodded in agreement.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Yu stood up and asked the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has now performed the crown ceremony and has reached the age of twelve. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then his face was gloomy.

And the ministers of the other southern clans also got up one after another, bowed and saluted: "Please Your Majesty follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to serve as a vassal, so that His Royal Highness the King of Jin can be trained." ”

In Li Shimin's heart, he was very reluctant to let Li Zhi go to the state to become a vassal, because Li Zhi was the prince he and the emperor chose for the Tang Dynasty, once he agreed to Xiao Yu's request this time and let Li Zhi go to the state to become a vassal, then it would not be so easy to let Li Zhi come back in the future. And he wants Li Zhi to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty and inherit the unification, Li Shimin is not willing to make it public at this time, because the time is not yet ripe at this time, if he launches Li Zhi, he will inevitably be boycotted by the three forces of the Guanlong nobles, the Shandong Hao clan, and the Southern Shi clan, and Li Shimin is in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing Li Shimin's embarrassment, Li Xuan, who was standing at the forefront of the court, suddenly thought of a possibility: Li Shimin was so embarrassed, could it be that he was unwilling to let Li Zhi, the king of Jin, leave Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty? He wants Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to have the opportunity to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin's real favorite candidate for the prince of the Tang Dynasty is Li Zhi, the king of Jin? (To be continued.) )
