Chapter 221: Retracting the Seal

Diligent Palace.

Li Shimin looked at the fold handed over by Li Xiang, and didn't know what to say in his heart, before going to the southwest battlefield, Li Shimin thought so, but whenever Li Xiang made some contributions on the battlefield, Li Shimin had to let him rise to the top.

But after the war ended, Li Shimin suddenly found that Li Xiang affected his rights, so he began to suppress Li Xiang in all directions.

Resigned as deputy commander of the Imperial City Division......

Wang De glanced at it secretly, and then stood honestly, I don't know how Li Shimin would treat this letter, when the Imperial City Division was first established, it was definitely a dispensable yamen in Chang'an City, but after this period of development, especially the various rules set by Li Xiang, this made the Imperial City Division an extremely powerful department.

Externally, it can monitor the spies in the city, and internally it can monitor the hundred officials of the imperial court, both internally and externally, it has become another knife in Li Shimin's hands, and sometimes the detected news is even more powerful than the black-clothed people under him.

In this case, Li Shimin would never let Li Xiang continue to master, so he thought about how to get it back, but he didn't expect Li Xiang to resign by himself.

"Copy this recital and send it to the Wei Palace."

Li Shimin's heart is very happy, his grandson is so eye-catching, he saves himself a lot of tongue, but the second son is not easy to say, first copy this fold and see what the fat son thinks.

But if Li Tai is smarter and sees Li Xiang's resignation, he should also leave the Imperial City Division immediately, if he doesn't leave, maybe the big stick will hit him in the next moment, and you resign yourself and the emperor removes your official, which is very different.

"Xuan Ling, do you have something to say?"

Li Shimin glanced up just now, Fang Xuanling, who was working on the left side, seemed to have something to say, the two monarchs and ministers have become accustomed to this way of working, and the prime minister looked at the emperor and saw that the two of them were watching the folds together, and they could discuss it, which was more efficient.

Fang Xuanling really wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, when it came to the issue of the heir, no matter what your relationship with the emperor was, you couldn't talk nonsense, maybe any sentence would make the emperor uneasy, and when the time came, I thought you were already standing in line, then your next days would be difficult.

"Weichen guesses that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will continue to resign, the errand of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War, General Zuo Shenwu, and the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, if they are all removed......"

Fang Xuanling is a smart person, some words can only be said halfway, if you say it all, the emperor will be a little uncomfortable, if the emperor doesn't understand what he asked, we can explain it to him, this is what you asked, not me said it myself, these are completely different things.

Li Xiang's three positions, which position is very important, even the least important deputy commander of the Liaodong Division, it is only temporarily unimportant, the imperial court will use troops against Goguryeo sooner or later, once it is at that time, the deputy commander of the Liaodong Division will be hot.

Fang Xuanling is also reminding Li Shimin that it is okay if you want to take away part of your grandson's rights, but don't forget that the subjects of the world are watching, if you go too far and take down all the errands, then you have to weigh it carefully to see if what you did was wrong.

According to Li Shimin's idea a few days ago, he can't wait to get Li Xiang to the end, mainly because he is now in the prime of life, and it is okay to have a relatively weak heir, but if it threatens his own rights, even if it is his own grandson, Li Chengqian sees this very well, after all, he has been the prince for many years.

Li Shimin wanted to take out General Zuo Shenwu, but he had no choice but to ask Fang Xuanling to promise Li Xiang that General Zuo Shenwu would still hang on Li Xiang's head, but Li Xiang could not personally lead this army, if he took it out now, first, the words of the emperor did not count, and at the same time, Fang Xuanling was also entwined, and secondly, some people in the army did not agree, Li Xiang made such a great contribution in the southwest, you rewarded the official position of the front foot to others, and the back foot wanted to take it back, is there such an emperor?

Although the people in the army will not rebel, but in the long run, people will be terrible, if there is a war in the future, will everyone still be able to sell their lives?

"Have you seen the twists and turns of the Yellow River?"

Li Shimin did not answer Fang Xuanling, nor did he continue to talk about this matter, but instead mentioned another important matter.

"Wechen has seen that the Yellow River is a major event of the country......"

Fang Xuanling is a top smart person, Li Shimin doesn't want to talk about this issue, then we won't talk about this issue, there are many major events in the DPRK and China, it doesn't matter where the emperor wants to deal with it first, let's just do it honestly.

East Palace.

As soon as Li Xiang's recital went up, Wang De came to the East Palace on the back foot.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry, the old slave is here......"

In the past, when Wang De came, it was all some rewards from the emperor to Li Xiang, but this time he wanted to get back the seal letter of the Imperial City Division, so Wang De was a little embarrassed to speak, sending things is a happy thing, and taking things back, isn't this cutting people's rights?

"What is there to be embarrassed about, the ebb and flow of the tide is a very normal thing, when I was beautiful, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military came to congratulate, and now there is nothing, the prince please sit down, I will let people take it immediately."

Today's East Palace is also cold in front of people, and a little wind and grass in the court can soon spread.

Li Xiang asked for his resignation as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, and the emperor did not delay even a day's work, and immediately ordered the chief eunuch beside him to go to Li Xiang to get the seal letter, which was to wish that Li Xiang would leave the Imperial City Division as soon as possible.

"Your Royal Highness Jiren has his own natural appearance, and his health is not good this time, it is better to recuperate in the East Palace, the court will always have the day when His Highness can be used, and the old slave also heard that gold will shine anywhere."

It is said that Wang De can't say so much, but Wang De has already stood on Li Xiang's side, and King Wei also knows that if he switches to another place this time, it is not that he can't say no, but he will leave a bad reputation for Qin and Duchu, so Wang De is ready to make a desperate bet and continue to stand on Li Xiang's side.

"What the prince said is very true, in addition to this seal, I also ask the prince to bring this recital back to ......"

Li Xiang took another fold......
