Li Zhi said to Li Yuan with a serious face: "Grandpa Huang, do you say that there will always be people who don't want you to have a harmonious relationship with your father?" ”

Li Yuan was stunned after listening to Li Zhi's words.

After two breaths, Li Yuan opened his mouth and asked Li Zhi, "What did you hear about in the outside world?" ”

Li Zhi said: "Two days ago, my grandson had just returned to Chang'an City from the suburbs when I heard someone talking about Uncle Yuanchang.

The implication seems to be that the uncle was greedy for money to build the road. ”

Li Yuan asked solemnly, "Have you ever heard the source of this statement?" Or is it true? ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "This matter is only circulating on the streets of Chang'an, and no one in the imperial court has received a report.

As for where the rumors came from, because the time is still short, and the grandson has been busy recently, so he has not found out. ”

Li Yuan pondered after listening to Li Zhi's words.

After a while, he asked Li Zhi again, "Have you ever mentioned this matter to your father?" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can a grandson dare to talk about this kind of thing with his father without any evidence?"

You and your father have just been in harmony, and this is when he is most happy.

If this matter reached his ears, wouldn't it be a waste of anxiety? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Grandson did the right thing, and it is really not appropriate for your father to know about this matter."

However, the truth of this matter needs to be ascertained as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the royal reputation for a long time. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said: "My grandson knows this, but now my grandson is busy with Yongzhou affairs, and I can't get rid of it."

I'm afraid that the imperial grandfather will need to personally assign people to investigate. ”

Li Yuan did not immediately reply.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Don't let outsiders interfere in this matter, it's best for my royal disciples to come forward in person." ”

Li Zhi said: "But among the royal disciples in Chang'an City, there are not many people who can take on this great responsibility now!" ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Yuan fell into deep thought again.

After a while, he asked, "Is it feasible for Gao Ming and Qingque?" ”

Li Zhi frowned and said: "The eldest brother and uncle are close, but now he needs to help his father deal with government affairs every day, how can he have time to investigate this matter?"

The fourth brother has little contact with his uncle on weekdays and has little experience in politics, and his grandson is worried that if there is fraud in this matter, the fourth brother will not be able to handle it well. ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Yuan spoke: "Qingque is already quite young, and if you think about it, you should be able to distinguish the benefits and disadvantages.

It is better to leave this matter to him to handle, so that he can make a name for himself among the royal children as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhi was secretly happy in his heart after hearing this.

But he still made a look of embarrassment on the surface and said: "This matter is not trivial.

Once it is not handled properly, it is very likely that something big will happen, why not arrange an old man for the emperor's grandfather? ”

Li Yuan opened his mouth and said, "The slightly capable people among the children of the royal family have already gone to various places to take up their posts.

Now in this Chang'an City, there is only Qingque who can take on this matter.

Qingque has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he wants not to mess up this matter. ”

Li Zhi pretended to hesitate for a moment before he spoke: "Grandpa Huang's forgiveness, my grandson is really busy, otherwise he will definitely do it himself." ”

Li Yuan patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said, "I know you're worried, but this matter is not difficult to solve.

You don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Since the imperial grandfather has already made a decision, the grandson will not say more. ”

Soon after Li Zhi left the Daming Palace, Li Tai, who was in the Wei Palace, received a handwritten letter from Li Yuan.

The letter explained in detail the importance of the Li Yuanchang incident and told him to carefully investigate and handle it.

At this time, Li Tai, who did not have a good minister and adviser by his side, immediately exposed his flaws.

The reason why Li Yuan made the seriousness of the matter extremely clear was that he hoped that he would be able to make this matter invisible.

Unexpectedly, after discussing with several staff members in the palace for a long time, Li Tai actually felt that this matter should collect all the evidence and make it an iron case.

At first, Li Tai actually didn't pay attention to the mistake.

He said to several of his staff: "This matter is related to my royal face, and you must find a way to eliminate this matter for this king." ”

After listening to Li Tai's words, one of the staff members spoke: "Your Highness, the things committed by His Royal Highness the King of Han have spread all over Chang'an City.

Since the Emperor Taishang has heard about this matter, he naturally does not know the stakes.

Xia Guan wants to come to the emperor, I'm afraid he doesn't want to make this matter invisible, right? ”

After hearing this, Li Tai shook his head and said: "This king doesn't think about it, since this matter is already known to everyone, the emperor's grandfather wants to handle it impartially, so naturally there is no need for this king to come forward."

At this time, he sent a message to the king, naturally hoping that the king could resolve the matter. ”

The man said, "If that's the case, then why didn't the Emperor directly arrange this matter to Your Majesty?" ”

Li Taidao: "My father is the king of a country, how can I directly intervene in this matter? ”

Another staff member spoke: "Your Highness, the court has not issued a clear document to abolish the conscription.

His Majesty could easily settle the matter by simply issuing a decree.

If His Majesty intervenes, how much impact will this matter have? ”

Li Tai was a little confused by the two of them.

He thought about it for a long time before he spoke: "If the two of you said, the imperial grandfather can also directly let the father and emperor handle this matter impartially?" ”

The one who spoke first said, "Your Highness seems to have forgotten that His Royal Highness the King of Han is His Majesty's own brother.

Now that this matter has spread widely, but no one has reported it to the government, if Your Majesty takes the initiative to send someone to investigate strictly, wouldn't it be in the name of suppressing his brother? ”

After hearing this, Li Tai was even more skeptical of his judgment.

So he fell into deep thought again.

It wasn't until half a day later that he asked, "Then why did Grandpa Huang arrange this matter to this king?" ”

The man spoke: "Someone always needs to pierce this matter, and if it is arranged to give outsiders royal face, it will be even more ugly."

But if the royal family comes forward, it can just save the royal face.

Thinking that the Emperor Taishang thought of this, he handed over the matter to His Royal Highness. ”

By this time, Li Tai had already been said to be moved by seven or eight points, but he still had some doubts.

I heard him continue to speak: "If that's the case, why don't you just arrange this matter to the prince?" ”

At this time, another person spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, if he comes forward, won't the other royal families be wary of him?" ”

After hearing this, Li Tai said, "If the king of Ben had done this, wouldn't it have been the same result?" ”

The man spoke: "Your Highness now is the time to establish your prestige among the royal disciples, how can you miss the opportunity now that you have it in hand?" ”

I have to say that once these things are not clearly explained, it is easy for people to misunderstand.

At this time, Li Tai was persuaded by several people to embark on the wrong path.

So, after some careful consideration, he decided to take this opportunity to put on a good show.

Therefore, in order to let others see his efforts, he not only sent all the guests in the house out, but even he himself braved the scorching heat to run to Liangzhou in person.
