The Ministry of Internal Affairs was ordered to inspect the construction of the Buddhist shrine at the Longmen Gate of Yique, and it was natural to find that the overseers were unkind and abused and mistreated the craftsmen, resulting in many injuries.

The overseer was taken down by the guards on the spot, and Zheng Bin, the merchant in charge of the construction of the Buddhist shrine, was also questioned and summoned to the Luozhou Governor's Mansion for questioning. Li Tai, the king of Wei, as the person in charge of this matter, is also guilty.

According to what Xie Yi heard, Li Tai first slapped Zheng Bin and the supervisor twice, and then entered the palace and knelt in front of the Zhenguan Palace-please!

Please be guilty of negligence!

Li Tai claimed that he was busy with rituals and studies, and entrusted a qiē to Zheng Bin to take care of, but only told that the construction of Buddhist shrines should not be postponed, and that it should be meticulous.

I don't want the people below to misinterpret the meaning, behave inappropriately, treat the craftsmen harshly, but I neglect my duties, lose the royal benevolence, live up to the trust of my father, and violate the teachings of the first queen.

Zheng Bin happily shouldered the sin in the Luoyang Governor's Mansion, claiming that he had misinterpreted the will of the King of Wei, and urged the craftsmen to speed up in order to let His Royal Highness fulfill his filial piety to the first queen as soon as possible. Because he went out to find a carving craftsman, in order to pay attention to the construction matters in time, he did not find out about the mistreatment of the craftsmen in time, and all of them were done by the overseers privately.

In this way, Li Tai was only guilty of negligence, and Li Shimin would not be able to reprimand him for a few words. Zheng Bin was also released by Zhang Liang and asked him to rebuild the Buddha shrine and atone for his sins.

However, Li Tai could not kneel in front of the Zhenguan Palace, claiming that because of his momentary negligence, the royal reputation was damaged, and even more damaged the well-being of the queen mother in the heavenly spirit.

After half a day of pretending, His Royal Highness King Wei won the reputation of "knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and sincerely repenting". Even if he is pretending to be forced, Li Tai can be regarded as having made a lot of money, he is obese, has a big belly and a round waist, and it must be uncomfortable to kneel for a long time.

Li Shimin was very distressed in his eyes, and his compassion was greatly moved, and the autumn rain in the sky began to fall, so he immediately asked Li Xiaogong to come forward to send Li Tai home.

It is said that when the king of Wei got up, his legs were numb and it was difficult to stand, and the king of Hejian sent someone to carry him back to the mansion in a soft sedan chair.

This move was slightly exaggerated, and the King of Wei had the reputation of "sincerity and filial piety" again, which was widely praised. As for the previous crime of negligence, no one has ever mentioned it.

After all, it's just a negligence, and besides, the saint has a cloud: who can be without fault? Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, how good is it! His Royal Highness King Wei does not hide it, has the courage to admit his mistakes, and sincerely repents, which is very rare!

Li Tai is very satisfied with this result, but his two legs are really not less offended. Knee pain, calf swelling, two days in a row can not go down at all.

was so painful, naturally blamed it on the person who reported him, and there was a lot of resentment and anger in his heart.

"Liu Xuan, can you find out who reported to my father?"

"Your Highness, there is no definite result yet, and your subordinates only have some speculations...... It is not yet possible to confirm. Liu Xuan replied cautiously, lest he might provoke His Royal Highness the angry King Wei.

Li Tai asked angrily: "Speculation, let's hear it." ”

Liu Xuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty was not in Luoyang a few days ago, and it is unlikely that he will personally care about the matter of the Yique Buddha Shrine, there must be someone who has reported it." The person who reported the report had either seen the situation at the construction site of Binyang Cave in Yique or knew about the situation.

Therefore, his subordinates conducted an investigation based on these two clues, made some discoveries, and then came to some speculations, but there was no clear evidence to support them. ”

"How?"

Liu Xuan said in a low voice: "My subordinates have found out that a few days ago, Xie Yi took his family to Yishui by boat and went to Yique Longmen;

Secondly, in the evening after the Midyear Festival, when His Royal Highness and his subordinates talked about this matter, Xie Dushi put river lanterns on the bank of the Royal River, which was not far away, would he hear a few words? ”

"Xie Yi, is it?!" Li Tai clenched his fists and slammed them on the bed, looking extremely angry.

Liu Xuan said softly: "Your Highness, although there is no definite evidence, Xie Yi's suspicion is indeed the greatest. After all, there were two coincidences, and he and His Highness had a bit of a holiday......"

Li Tai said hatefully: "Hmph, this king gave him face and invited him to come to the literary meeting, and he didn't even mind forgiving him and releasing his old suspicions." But he didn't want him to be so vicious, relying on his father's favor and powerlessness, he dared to murder the king behind his back. ”

"His Royal Highness was angry, and his subordinates thought that if it was really Xie Yi's doing, but it was not necessarily that he had the intention to retaliate against His Highness, after all, it was a very small conflict that day."

Liu Xuan said leisurely: "According to common sense, a young courtier, even if a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, does not dare to hold a grudge against a prince and take revenge, right?" ”

Li Tai frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Your Highness, maybe what Zheng Bin said is not unreasonable, this Xie Yixing Xu really has something to do with the East Palace, and it is unknown whether this move is the permission of the East Palace."

Although Liu Xuan's answer was speculative, it was reasonable, and Li Tai couldn't believe it. A few days ago, he was in the limelight in Luoyang, can Donggong Yan be indifferent? If you are a little negligent, a series of counterattacks will come to you.

Li Tai said helplessly: "That's it, let's do it beforehand, who made the East Palace in the limelight now?" It's not early, it's not too late, the crown princess is pregnant at this moment, my father is happy, we don't have to act rashly. ”

"Yes, what a coincidence, the prince has been married for two years, and in the early years, there were many palace maids in the East Palace, but there has been no good news, until today, Fang ......" Liu Xuan seemed to agree, but he meant something.

Li Tai naturally saw it and said in a low voice, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, when I was in Chang'an, there was a rumor that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a good man...... He was close to the chamberlain and the boy. Liu Xuan's voice was very low, and the expression on his face was quite subtle.

Li Tai said with a solemn expression: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if it reaches the ears of your father, your tongue and even your head will be gone." ”

Liu Xuan hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness forgives your sins, and your subordinates have lost their words." ”

"In the matter of the palace, there are always people who speculate and rumors, and they should not be falsely spoken. At present, the crown princess is pregnant, and the imminent birth of a child in the East Palace is a happy event known to the whole country. But ......"

Li Tai changed his words and said: "The eldest brother has preferences, shouldn't the brother do what he likes and do his best?" ”

Liu Xuan's heart moved, and he asked cautiously, "......What does His Highness mean?"

"This king is thinking that his eldest brother is busy with state affairs, and if he can have a lovely person by his side, it must be excellent to relieve his worries and worries."

Li Tai said leisurely: "But right now, I guess the eldest brother is accompanying the pregnant princess, I'm afraid I don't have the heart." What's more, it's hard to find and train people, and I'm afraid I can't find a suitable ...... for three or five years."

"Your Highness is very true." Liu Xuan nodded in understanding, and said softly: "The affairs of the East Palace are taken care of by the province in the palace, the court appoints maids, and the Taichang Temple waits for music and dance, His Highness doesn't need to worry about it." ”

"Well, it's this king who is overthinking." Li Tai nodded, moved his body slightly, and there was a sore pain in his legs.

"Your Highness......"

"It's fine!" Li Tai gritted his teeth and said: "But this king can't suffer in vain, this matter can't be stopped, I can't beat the master, can't I beat the dog?" On the day of the meeting, as long as he Xie Yi came, he would definitely be ...... Hum! ”

……

In the nursery of the Imperial Garden, Xie Yi sneezed violently, and couldn't help but wonder, who was talking about himself like this?

He didn't know that he was favored by the emperor and became the best successor to Yu Shinan; didn't know that he was suspected by Li Tai for some reason, so he took the black pot for Yu Shinan in a daze.

He didn't know about either thing, so he didn't like it for the time being. As for sneezing, it must be because of the continuous autumn rain, the weather is getting cooler, and the clothes are too thin and the wind is cold.

It is true that this autumn rain will rain as soon as it is said, and the rain is not small, and what is worse is that it is continuous. It's been three days, and it seems like it's not going to stop for three whole days.

No, there was already standing water in the nursery of the Imperial Garden, but fortunately the crops had already been harvested.

Those few large vats that have not been received are moved indoors, and there is nothing to worry about. Just stay indoors, watch the autumn rain, listen to the rain hitting the plantains, and taste this unique artistic conception.

It's all good, but the rain and fog are heavy, the autumn night is slightly cool, the thin quilt is unbearable and the five are colder, and the lonely pillow is even more difficult to sleep!
