A lot happened in the seventh year of Wude.

First, Li Jiancheng instructed Yang Wengan to attempt rebellion.

Later, it was Li Jiancheng who gave a horse to harm Li Shimin, and spread rumors that Li Shimin claimed to have "a destiny in heaven".

Later, Li Shimin made peace with the Turks and ordered the Turks to withdraw their troops without a fight, but Li Yuanji instead slandered Li Shimin's private contacts with the Turks, intending to coerce the Turks into self-respect, which had ulterior motives.

------

Every time Li Yuan listened to the words of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he reprimanded Li Shimin.

But every time Li Shimin was trained, there was no more sound, and Li Yuan did not punish Li Shimin.

Later, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, as well as Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu continued to speak ill of Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan, but Li Yuan always listened carefully, but did not make a statement.

------

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji persuaded Li Shimin to get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but Li Shimin said that he would wait for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to do it first.

As for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, they can't shake Li Shimin by their own strength, so they can only hope for Li Yuan. But Li Yuan pretended to be deaf and dumb, not vomiting or swallowing, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were in a hurry, and there was no way.

------

In the eighth year of Wude, the two sides dragged on like this, and no one made a big move.

The two forces of Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have passed quietly for a year on the surface.

At the end of the eighth year of Wude, Li Yuan issued an edict ordering Li Shimin to serve as Zhongshu Ling, Li Yuanji to serve as a servant, and Sima Yu to serve as a scribe in Tiance Mansion and serve as a school for Quanjian.

The so-called power inspection school service is the acting office.

------

At this time, Li Shimin's position was not reduced, but was further strengthened.

Li Shimin's current positions are: Tai Lieutenant, General Tiance, Shang Shu Ling, Jian Zhongshu Ling, General Commander of the Twelve Guards, Governor of Yongzhou, and Governor of Jiangzhou, all of which are important positions of military and political power.

Li Yuanji's position is: the governor of the prefecture, and the servant.

------

The position of governor was re-established by the governor.

In the seventh year of Wude, he changed the governor to the governor.

Those who command soldiers and horses in more than ten states are the governors of the capital.

------

In military positions, Li Shimin was a lieutenant, a general of Tiance, a general in command of the 12 guards, the governor of Yongzhou, and the governor of Jiangzhou.

In the positions of Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, and Shizhong, Li Shimin is also in power.

------

Shang Shuling, served by Li Shimin, commanded hundreds of officials and handled national government affairs. Pei Lin and Xiao Yu are the servants on the left and right, and they are Li Shimin's deputies and are regarded as prime ministers.

The duty of the Zhongshu Order is to take charge of the government on behalf of the emperor, and there are two people. Now one seat is held by Li Shimin, and the other is Feng Deyi.

Shizhong, who is the governor of Menxia Province, is responsible for issuing the emperor's edict to the outside world, taking charge of the state sacrifices, and setting up two people. Now one of the seats is concurrently held by Li Yuanji, the other is Chen Shuda, and Yu Wenshi is the acting servant.

------

That is to say, after the Shangshu Province and the Zhongshu Province put forward their opinions on the handling of the country's military and government affairs, the Menxia Province issued them in the name of the emperor.

The Shangshu Decree and the Zhongshu Decree are the real powers, and the Shizhong is the result of the handling of the Shangshu Province and the Zhongshu Province, and issue an edict in the name of the emperor.

------

At the end of the eighth year of Wude, the highest level of power in the Tang Dynasty was like this.

Li Yuan, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng, crown prince.

Li Shimin, King of Qin, Taiwei, General Tiance, Shang Shu Ling, Jian Zhongshu Ling, Commander of the Twelve Wei Generals, Yongzhou Governor, Jiangzhou Governor.

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the governor of the state, also served in the middle.

The four prime ministers are Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, and Yu Wenshi.

------

Looking at the appointments at the top of the power at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Shimin was powerful.

As the crown prince, where will Li Jiancheng feel at ease?

In such a situation, whoever becomes the crown prince is terrified, and he will always worry that the crown prince's position will not be guaranteed.

------

The competition for the crown prince was temporarily quiet for a year.

Li Shimin is busy with daily military and government affairs every day.

The three children born to Guanyin are also growing up day by day.

Li Chengqian will be five years old, Li Tai will be four years old, and Li Liqian will be three years old in the coming spring.

When the children were older, Guanyin began to teach them literacy, chess, and royal etiquette.

------

It's the end of the year, it's freezing outside, and there's nowhere to play.

Hongyi Palace is lit with a warm stove in the apse, the hall is warm like spring, Guanyin sits on the couch in the east window while teaching Li Chengqian to read and write, while teasing Li Tai and Li Lizhi to play.

At this time, Hsinchu and Zhanhua came back from outside with Li Kuan, and they seemed to have something to tell Guanyin, but when they saw that the children's nurses and the palace maids were standing on the side, they didn't say what they wanted to say immediately.

Hsinchu nodded slightly at Guanyin's maid and gave a look.

------

Guanyin realized that Hsinchu and Zhanhua had important things to say to her, so she sent the nurse and the palace maids and took a few children out of the apse.

After the children and the attendants had left, Hsinchu and Zhanhua walked up to Guanyin, knelt on the edge of the couch, and reported to Guanyin that they had just gone to Taiji Palace.

------

Since Li Shimin and Guanyin moved from Chengqing Hall to Hongyi Palace, because it is not too convenient to come and go, Guanyin has gone to Taiji Palace less, but she visits Li Yuan every few days.

Since Guanyin does not often go to Taiji Palace, Hsinchu and Zhanhua are not convenient to contact Qin Lan.

Guanyin is afraid that Hsinchu and Zhanhua will go to Taiji Palace too often, which will arouse the suspicion of others. Let Qin Lan meet with Hsinchu and Zhanhua at a fixed time every month.

------

Guanyin told Qin Lan that the number of meetings of the "Hedong Six Women" should also be as small as possible, not particularly important things, and there should be no contact with each other.

Every time Hsinchu, Zhanhua and Qin Lan meet, Guanyin asked them to take Li Kuan to see Wan Guifei, obviously to let Wan Guifei and Li Kuan cultivate the relationship between their ancestors and grandchildren, but actually to take the opportunity to contact Qin Lan.

------

Today, it is the day of Hsinchu and Zhanhua to go to Taiji Palace to see Qin Lan, and after coming back, they routinely report the news they got from Qin Lan to Guanyin.

In the past two years, Guanyin has listened to Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, as well as how Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu slander Li Shimin, and then how the concubines fight each other.

Although these circumstances are very important to Guanyin, she has to rely on them to grasp the movements in the palace, but they are not a great deal.

------

Guanyin picked up a child's rattle from the case, and while casually listening to Hsinchu and Zhanhua's two reports, she fiddled with the rattle in her hand.

At this time, Hsinchu said that Li Yuanji spoke ill of Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan.

Zifu spread the news that Li Yuanji said to Li Yuan a few days ago, "When the second brother just pacified Luoyang, the eastern capital, he scattered money and wealth and rewarded his subordinates with the intention of buying people's hearts. He didn't want to go back to Chang'an at that time, and he had a rebellious heart at that time."

Guanyin listened to Hsinchu's relay, and said with a smile, "I don't know how many times King Qi said this in front of the Lord, and the Lord never believed it."

------

Zhanhua has long been unaccustomed to Li Yuanji, and she said dissatisfiedly, "King Qi always says bad things about the king, and the king doesn't want to find a way to rectify him."

Guanyin glared at Zhan Hua, "Why don't you know the severity, can King Qi be rectified casually?" Only the Lord can punish him."

------

Zhan Hua said unconvinced, "I think there is a way now."

Guanyin asked with a straight face, "What's the way?"

Zhan Hua did not answer, but looked at Hsinchu.

Hsinchu looked at the door of the hall, and then whispered to Guanyin, "There is one thing, it was passed on by Qiu Xuan, Sanniang must not have heard of this matter, the slave maid and Zhanhua both feel that it can definitely be used to rectify the King of Qi."

------

Guanyin stopped the rattle she was fiddling with, looked at Hsinchu seriously, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hsinchu leaned forward, leaned forward, and said to Guanyin in a low voice, "During this time, Concubine Yin De often went to the Wude Palace, saying that she was going to find Princess Qi, but in fact, she was going to see King Qi."

------

Concubine Yin De went to Wude Hall to see Li Yuanji, which sounded incredible.

Li Yuan's young and beautiful favorite concubine went to find Li Yuan's son in his twenties, how could this be possible?

Guanyin said in disbelief, "Is this news accurate?"

Hsinchu returned to Guanyin, "The slave and the exhibition didn't believe it at first, and they also asked Sister Qin Lan like this. Sister Qin Lan said how could it be fake news from her. She had checked with Qiu Jian that it was true."

The rules in the deep palace are so strict, how could this happen? I can't help but wonder if Guanyin doesn't doubt this matter.

------

How did this happen?

This kind of thing can only happen, to put it mildly, it was Li Yuan who created opportunities for Li Yuanji and Yin Defei.

In the first year of Wude, after Li Yuanji fled back to Chang'an from Jinyang, Li Yuan arranged for Li Yuanji to live in the backyard of Wude Palace.

At that time, Li Shimin lived in Chengqing Hall and Li Yuanji lived in Wude Hall.

------

Later, Yin Yu gave birth to a son, and after being canonized as Concubine De, she moved to live in Daji Palace.

The layout of the inner court of Taiji Palace is that in the middle is the Liangyi Palace, and the Liangyi Hall is the Wanchun Palace, the Lizheng Palace, the Daji Palace, and the Wude Hall to the east.

There is only one wall between the Daji Hall and the Wude Hall, and it is naturally very convenient for people in the two courtyards to come and go.

------

According to the royal rules, an adult prince is not allowed to live in the palace, either he does not open a mansion outside the palace, or he has to leave the domain to a fief.

Two years ago, Li Yuan specially built Hongyi Palace for Li Shimin, and Li Shimin and Guanyin moved out of Chengqing Palace.

However, Li Yuanji has never opened a mansion outside the Taiji Palace, and has been living in the Wude Hall of the Taiji Palace.

------

Li Yuanji is cunning by nature, but he is very good at pleasing Li Yuan, because the Wude Hall where he lives is very close to the Wanchun Hall where Li Yuan lives, as long as others are in Chang'an, he will go to the Wanchun Hall where Li Yuan lives every day to greet him in the morning and evening, talk to Li Yuan, and make Li Yuan happy.

In Li Yuanji, Li Yuan can feel the rare father-son affection in the emperor's family, and can feel the joy of father's kindness and filial piety.

Therefore, in the middle and late stages of Wude, Li Yuan liked Li Yuanji more and more, and Li Yuanji dared to say anything to Li Yuan.

------

With Li Yuanji coaxing Li Yuan to be happy every day, Li Yuan never thought about letting Li Yuanji move out of the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace.

But what Li Yuan didn't expect was that Li Yuanji's nature was a jackal character, he was cunning, ruthless, and cold-blooded, and it was a big mistake for Li Yuan to keep him by his side.
