Tai Chi Temple.

Li Yuangao sat on the dragon chair with a depressed expression. After a night of physical battles, his mental state was indeed not very good. But the daily court meeting was a must, and he squinted his eyes and looked down at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and suddenly yawned a big one.

Li Shimin walked out of the ranks of the ministers and said: "My father is very old, tired day and night, in recent days, the world is peaceful, the people live in peace, and there is nothing important in the court. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, this kid was so bold, didn't he blatantly force himself to abdicate?

However, his words are not unreasonable. After all, he is already sixty years old, where can he stand up to toiling on a woman's belly every night?

What's more, that untimely yawn once again became an excuse for Li Shimin to force the palace.

However, if you don't participate in the court meeting, doesn't it mean that you have completely lost your qualification to rule the world? How can he lose his supreme power, can an emperor still be called an emperor if he loses power?

couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he wiped the sweat off his face, and once again set his eyes on the ministers.

At this time, how much he needs a minister to stand up and defend himself, speak for him, and save him from fire and water.

Helpless, the ministers looked at him with solemn expressions, as if waiting for his answer.

He searched for the familiar person in the crowd, his old friend Pei Lian, who was closer than his own son. But there is a shadow of him there. What happened to him? Did you predict that you were about to lose the throne?

He believes that people all over the world hope that Li Shimin can ascend to the throne as soon as possible, but he will definitely not be like them. However, at such an important moment, he was nowhere to be found.

"What about Pei Lone? What's going on? ”

He still did not give up, and his eyes were still wandering among the ministers, hoping that he could once again become the most effective cadre on his life road. But he was immediately disappointed, and he got a piece of news that made him desperate: "Master Pei fell ill on the way to the court." ”

If you don't get sick in the morning, you don't get sick in the evening, but you are sick at this time?

Such a coincidence? It can't be another conspiracy, right?

Seeing the disappointment on his father's face, Li Shimin looked around the hall and said: "My father is very old and busy with state affairs, and my sons are worried that my father is physically exhausted and has failed the trust of his mother. It is suggested that in the future, the father and emperor do not have to be in place, and the sons and daughters can handle various government affairs. ”

Li Shimin said, raised his head, his eyes were like torches, and looked at the courtiers around him.

The first to respond was his old partner Fang Xuanling.

"The prince's filial piety can be learned from the sky, which is the luck of my Tang Dynasty and the emperor."

The eldest grandson Wuji played: "The minister also feels the same way. The emperor's dragon body is the foundation of the country, the prince is benevolent, and he has won the hearts of the people. ”

For a while, the ministers in the Taiji Hall echoed: "Please ask the emperor to take care of the dragon body, long live, long live, long live." ”

At this time, Li Shimin's heart had already blossomed.

Today, on the court, Pei Lin failed to arrive at the court, and Wei Chi Jingde helped him again, and he sent someone to stop his sedan chair on the road and forced him to turn back.

Li Yuan's eyes were blank, and blood was dripping from his heart.

What does it mean to unload the mill and kill a donkey? And this man, the son whom he gave birth to, and the man who called him his father, whose blood was thicker than water, was so impatient? It's only been three months, and in the name of his dragon's health, it's really a murder without blood.

In the face of these aggressive courtiers, he felt very sad, and his grief was greater than his death. In this case, what is the significance of him still resting on the throne, it is just an ornament.

However, the old man did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, but forced a smile and said: "Your hearts are united, and with your advanced age, you feel that you are unable to handle government affairs." Lian immediately issued an edict on the throne, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, and since then he has lived out his old age in peace. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he could not hide his joy. was about to thank him, but he was glanced at by the eldest grandson Wuji, and immediately understood and said: "Enlighten the father, absolutely not." Erchen never dared to force the palace, Erchen only thought that he could share his father's worries. ”

In this case, the matter of the Zen position will be discussed later. Today, Lian is unwell and retreats. ”

Li Yuan said, got up and left.

There was a bang in the court.

Li Shimin regretted it very much, he missed this opportunity, if he wants to really sit in that position, I don't know when?

It's all my own fault, it's too indecisive.

When I returned to the East Palace, I sighed unconsciously.

The eldest grandson Wuwu hurriedly served tea and said, "Shimin, looking at you like this, is it that the big thing has not been done?" ”

"Don't worry, I lost such a good opportunity today, it's all your brother's fault for me."

"Really? He is your eldest brother, he will only help you, how can he harm you? Let's hear it. ”

Li Shimin told everything that happened in the court, and the eldest grandson immediately knelt down and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "There is no happy event, what are you doing?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a good minister, how fortunate is it? My brother asked you not to accept the abdication edict for your own good. ”

"Good for me! Don't worry, for the sake of today, I will die for the sake of today, even at the cost of blood, brother, he is willing to give way to me, and I don't accept it? ”

The eldest grandson said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although the emperor is still in power now, but since you became the prince, you have been the sole ruler of the affairs of the court, not the emperor is like the emperor, if as expected, today is the first time, and soon there will be a second time, a third time, and nothing more than three." In this way, the ministers can know that it is not that you are forcing the palace, but that you have no choice but to accept the edict and gain fame and fortune, why not? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, helped his eldest grandson to get up, and said gently: "Shimin has won you in this life, and he is fortunate to have three lives." ”

The eunuch came to report: "The eldest grandson, Lord Wuji, asks to see him." ”

"Please."

Li Shimin's face was full of spring breeze, and the couple looked at the door together.

The eldest grandson Wuji stopped like a wind, and was about to speak with a serious face, but was stopped by Li Shimin and said, "What does the eldest grandson want to say, your sister has said it for you." ”

"Really? That's great, I thought His Highness resented me in his heart, but you already knew my intentions. It's just wonderful. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "A hero and three gangs, the people of the world can have today, if there is no help from your brothers and sisters, it will definitely not be able to achieve great things." ”

"Why do you say this, if it weren't for your civil and military skills and gathering talents, you would not have today's achievements. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be enthroned as the general ruler today, what are your considerations for the new crown prince? ”

Li Shimin said: "This question is too early, Qian'er and Tai'er are still young, and I want to think about it in the long run. ”

"No, you can't. The princes of all dynasties have been elders but not young, and the ministers thought that this matter had been planned for a long time, could His Royal Highness have another suitable candidate? ”

Li Shimin's shadow flashed in front of Li Tai's eyes, and he sighed: "Speaking of which, I think the opinion of worry-free on this matter is more important, worry-free, what do you say?" ”
