The eldest grandson Wuji left the palace worriedly, and he felt that it was necessary to teach his son Changsun Chong well when he went back.

No matter which prince ascends to the throne in the future, the eldest grandson's family must have a powerful family owner, and his son eldest grandson Chong must have this responsibility and ability.

As for themselves, they just try to find a way to put the nephew of the eldest grandson family on the throne, and as for which one it will be in the end, it depends on their ability and creation.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palaces of the princes in Chang'an City was quite solemn, although Li You's rebellion had nothing to do with them, but the state-owned rebellion was a major event after all, not to mention that this rebel was still his own brother, so it was even more extraordinary.

Of course, this matter does not necessarily have nothing to do with them, and some people are trying to get rid of it now, and they don't want to have anything to do with it. Others stare like foxes, hoping to find out about it and use it for themselves.

In the East Palace, the crown prince Li Chengqian's expression was slightly solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The old five rebellions are bound to fail, and with his ability and the little people in Qizhou, it will not be possible at all." ”

"What Your Highness says is true, and it is true." Su Gan Chengji also deeply agreed with this, Li You was completely a petty fight in Qizhou, and it would not be possible at all, and everyone in Chang'an City had the same opinion.

Li Chengqian said worriedly: "There is a problem, the fifth child has sent a lot of generous gifts to the East Palace in the past, if he is defeated in the future and brought back to Chang'an, I am afraid that he will ...... Originally, I thought that there was a brother who could be used as your Olympic aid outside, but who would have thought that the fifth brother would rebel in Qizhou because of his madness. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, but Su Gan Chengji completely understood in his heart, after all, he accepted the gift of Qi Wangfu, and he had also colluded with Yin Hongzhi before. Originally, it was indeed a good intention, hoping to give Donggong more help power, but he didn't expect it to end up in the current situation.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we just received some gifts from the Qi Palace, and it is normal for brothers to give gifts to each other during the New Year."

Su Gan Chengji said: "Other than that. We have no contact with the Qi Palace, as for the last time Xie Yi was revealed, it was through Concubine Yin, and now Concubine Yin is dead, and there is no proof of death, Your Highness doesn't have to worry. ”

"Also, Gu just had a brotherhood with Li You before his rebellion, and there was no collusion, so what is there to worry about? It's okay! Li Chengqian didn't know whether to be sure of a fact or to comfort himself, so he was a lot more relaxed for the time being.

Su Gan Chengji said: "Your Highness, remember. Recently, if you do a good job of drawing a clear line with the Qizhou side, don't leave a false pretense, there will be no problem. ”

"That's right!" Li Chengqian thought deeply and said: "Today's Li You is not Lonely's fifth brother, just a thief......

……

In the Wei Palace, Li Tai also heard about this, and he was more happy than Li Chengqian's worries.

One less brother, one less competition, which in itself is worth rejoicing. What's more, there is still a slight connection between the rebellious Li You and the East Palace. It can be used to make a fuss.

Such news in itself is enough to make people excited, and Li Tai has begun to think about how to use these clues to achieve the desired goal.

His staff Liu Xuan was more cautious about this. said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, everything will be said after the war is over, only when a gang of rebels from Qizhou return to Chang'an, is it time to make a fuss." It has an effect. ”

Li Taidao: "Yes, now my father's greatest hope is to work together to quell the rebellion." Now for something else...... Father will not be funny. ”

"Your Highness is wise." Liu Xuan and Li Ji lost no time in sending a sycophant.

Li Tai frowned and said, "It's just that this counterinsurgency matter is cheaper than the third child and Xie Yi......"

Liu Xuan said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm afraid it's providence, Xie Yi happens to be in Qizhou, and King Wu is just in Songzhou, so he is naturally close to the water." ”

"Well, it's just that they got cheap, don't talk about the third child, Xie Yi does so many things, will the pheasant slave benefit in the end?" Li Tai finally realized a somewhat frightening truth.

"This ......" Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "King Qi's reversal, the situation is definitely different from the past, as for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, now that he is married, he naturally can't be treated as a child anymore." ”

It can't be regarded as a child, that is an adult, and what an adult prince means Li Tai couldn't be clearer, so he can be regarded as a clear one.

"That's right, this king has to know in his heart." As soon as Li Tai nodded, someone outside came to deliver the decree, and His Majesty the Emperor summoned him.

……

In the Hibiscus Garden, Li Zhi, the newlywed King of Jin, is pulling Princess Wang Yan to bask in the sun by the lake.

Newlywed Yan'er, husband and wife love each other, it is the time when you and I are nong, and these days are quite happy, but Li Zhi is occasionally a little unhappy.

Especially when the news of the Qizhou rebellion reached Chang'an, Li Zhi often seemed worried, and Wang Yan naturally knew why he made such a move.

Xie Changshi in Qizhou......

Although she has only had a few encounters in Jinyang, Wang Yan is deeply impressed by this long history, and she also has a lot of respect and even gratitude. She is very clear that the reason why she can become the princess of the Jin Dynasty has a lot to do with Xie Changshi's help, and this kindness needs to be remembered.

Since entering the Jin Palace, Wang Yan has truly understood the relationship between her husband and Xie Changshi, and she can fully understand her husband's current mood.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Xie Chang Shiji has his own natural appearance, not to mention that he is always talented, and the matter of self-preservation and rebellion will definitely be properly handled, and it will be fine." Wang Yan softly comforted.

Li Zhi, who had grown into a tall young man, nodded lightly and said, "Since Xie Changshi couldn't come back to attend our wedding, I knew that he must have something tricky to deal with, and now it seems that it is true.

Okay, the fifth brother turned out to be in Qizhou, it's really ...... Fortunately, Xie Changshi escaped smoothly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Wang Yan said softly: "I heard that Your Majesty has issued an edict to crusade against the rebellion, His Royal Highness King Wu and the British Duke have mobilized troops and horses to support, presumably it will be pacified soon, and then Xie Changshi will be able to return to Chang'an." ”

"That's right, but this time is different from the past, after Xie Changshi came back this time, the wind in Chang'an was only afraid to ......" Li Zhi's expression was slightly solemn, and his expression was a little dignified.

Obviously, he is no longer the ignorant teenager he was at the beginning, and now he is an adult prince, and his mind is becoming more and more mature. The vision and depth of looking at things have naturally grown greatly, and he has clearly grasped the impact of Li You's rebellion, the impact on the imperial court, and the impact on himself.

Regardless of whether the family history is in Qizhou or not. As long as he is a prince, he will inevitably be in this whirlpool, and no one can avoid it......

Since you can't dodge, you have to face it head-on, whether you want it or not, the reality is that.

So far, Li Zhi hasn't thought much about it, but he always has a thought, that is, no matter what happens in the future, Xie Changshi's help is indispensable by his side.

So he was particularly worried about Xie Yi's safety in Qizhou. But Wang Yan is right, it's useless to worry about it, and it can't help much, so he can only pray secretly, and then help him take care of his wife and children at home.

Just when Li Zhi and the princess had a conversation without a word, news came from Taiji Palace, and the emperor summoned him.

……

When Li Zhi hurried to the palace, he found that his father had summoned not one person, but all the princes in Chang'an.

After the prince met at the gate of the palace. When they didn't know why, the old eunuch appeared at the door, claiming that His Majesty the Emperor invited the princes to the palace for a banquet.

Dinner?

A big question mark appeared in the minds of all the princes. The country is in rebellion, and a concubine has just died in the palace, and at this time, the emperor has summoned his sons to a banquet, which sounds a little strange.

But that's exactly what happened. His Majesty Li Er, who is wise and martial, has always done things reasonably, well-founded and methodical, and naturally he will not arrange things indiscriminately, and this is naturally done for a purpose. Maybe it has a lot of meaning.

For example, Li Tai, the king of Wei, the moment he stood at the gate of the palace, he had already thought of all kinds of banquet allusions in history, although the banquet in the Taiji Hall today is not a good banquet, but it is certainly not simple, and it must be especially cautious.

The crown prince Li Chengqian's mind was also extremely solemn, his brows were slightly furrowed, and then he dragged his slightly bumpy feet into the palace. Li Zhi, the king of Jin, followed behind, obviously aware of the importance of this banquet, but did not have much thought. Isn't it just a family dinner, how different will it be from the past?

After entering the hall where the banquet was held, Li Tai really found out what the difference was, that is, only the prince participated in today's banquet, and the princesses did not have a share.

This is a different phenomenon from the past, in the past, brothers and sisters gathered together, and the father said that he wanted to enjoy family fun and brotherhood in this way.

But this time, the sisters are not there, although most of the sisters are now married, but they are basically in Chang'an City, it is very convenient to enter the palace, but the father did not invite, which can be seen......

Li Zhi entered the hall with some complicated emotions, and the seats inside had been arranged, completely according to the order of the eldest and youngest. When everyone was seated, the two vacant seats suddenly became a bit glaring.

One is in the second seat, Li Zhi knows that it belongs to the third brother Li Ke, the king of Wu, as for the second brother Li Kuan, the king of Chu, died too early, Li Zhi has not seen it, and the palace seems to have a very weak impression of him, except for the annual sacrifice, there is no place for it on other occasions.

Therefore, Li Ke, the king of Wu, is the second son of the emperor to some extent, and this situation fell in the eyes of Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was on the side, and suddenly became a little unusual.

In the eldest system, he occupies the eldest son, but if there is no prince Li Chengqian, Li Keke will be the de facto eldest son......

The atmosphere was even more awkward that Lee Tae's; The other side is also empty, in order of eldest and youngest, it belongs to the fifth prince Li You, but he is now rebelling in Qizhou. And the third Li Ke went to quell the rebellion with soldiers and horses, and the brothers were likely to fight in Qizhou.

The seating at the banquet was so abrupt, and when it fell in the eyes of everyone, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little sad and a little strange. Especially the youngest ones, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, and their faces were even more dazed.

At this time, Emperor Li Shimin came, and the moment he walked into the hall, all the princes got up, knelt down and saluted, and called their father.

Li Shimin did not respond immediately, but silently watched a group of sons kneeling below, his eyes falling on the two empty seats, and His Majesty the Wise and Martial Heavenly Khan suddenly sighed.

"Get up!" After Li Shimin spoke up, the princes stood up from the ground as if they had been pardoned, and then sat down nervously.

The oppressive atmosphere caused by His Majesty Li Er's hesitation just now unintentionally made the princes a little afraid, and until this moment they were still a little apprehensive in their hearts, not knowing why their father summoned them to the palace.

Soon, Li Shimin gave an answer and said softly: "I suddenly remembered today that I haven't eaten with you for a long time, and it just so happened that Dianzhong Province cooked the new crops of potatoes and corn offered by the Marquis of Huaiyang, so I asked you to come over and eat together, so I can try it." ”

Hearing the name of the food, the young princes were still quite excited, especially the legendary food that was delicious but had never been eaten, so they couldn't help but move their index fingers. But the older princes heard the difference, and the father said that he hadn't eaten with everyone for a long time......

Eating together is naturally a reunion dinner, and I can't remember exactly when the last time the royal team members were, especially when the people nearby were not complete, this sentence became more and more sad.

Sure enough, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Ke, especially Li You's seat, and he was speechless for a long time, and then sighed softly.

"You've all heard about Li You, right?" Li Shimin asked a question softly.

"I heard." Now almost the whole country knows about things, and the princes have naturally heard of it.

"And what do you think?"

When Li Shimin threw out the first question, the princes looked at each other again, and they couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Seeing this, the crown prince Li Chengqian was very helpless, as the eldest son, he had to speak first: "Father, the traitor Li You will be defeated and captured in the near future, don't worry about the rebellion in Qizhou." ”

"Yes, the third brother, the Marquis of Huaiyang, and the British Duke have all been dispatched, and the rebellion will naturally be dealt with as soon as possible, five ...... Li You doesn't know the height of the sky, and he is really ashamed of his father. Li Tai, the king of Wei, wasted no time in adding a sentence.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and asked again: "Then what do you think Li You should do?" ”

"Rebellion is a great crime for the country, and disobedience and betrayal of the monarch's father are even more unforgivable...... Li Chengqian's attitude is very firm in line with the principle of drawing a clear line with Li You.

Li Tai pondered for a moment and said: "The state has national laws, and Li You's crime should be tried by the division, and the father will decide ......."

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded lightly and turned to ask the other princes.

After a group of people made promises, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, said softly: "Father, the fifth brother's rebellion is indeed a big crime, but thinking that she is young, she may be deceived and bewitched by the villain...... Of course, in the end, it will be judged in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but the sons have the courage to ask for a favor, if they can, please ask the father to open up a little, after all, the fifth brother is also the father and our flesh and blood relatives......"
