People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 819
Seeing that his father had made the case, Li Tai also smiled and said: "I will say something that my father doesn't like. When the Duke was established, Zhang Liang was originally one of the candidates, but my father chose other people. During the re-discussion, Zhang Liang was put on hold. Zhang Liang was also one of the heroes of the Wagang Uprising. He followed his father for many years. Even if he did not make great contributions, he made a lot of hard work. I didn't bring up the public matter again, and Zhang Liang had some complaints in his heart."

Li Shimin stopped shooting arrows, frowning thoughtfully.

Li Chengqian also listened quietly to Li Tai's words, feeling confused for a moment, and couldn't figure out what Li Tai meant by saying that.

After being quiet for a long time, Li Shimin bent his bow again and aimed his arrow at the wooden post, but the arrow missed the wooden post.

"Do you think I treated him badly?"

Li Tai bowed and said, "Father, what if you give Zhang Liang a position in Lingyan Pavilion and the position of Duke?"

Li Shimin shot another arrow, but still missed the stake, with a helpless expression on his face.

Li Chengqian could also see that his father's mind had begun to waver, and his thoughts were obviously a little confused.

Li Shimin said again: "Do you think I was unfair to Zhang Liang at the beginning, and now I want to compensate him?"

"No." Li Tai bowed and said again: "What I mean is to give Zhang Liang enough benefits to the point that he can't refuse. Letting him return to Chang'an seems to give the position of Duke, but in fact Take his military power, as for the location of Lingyan Pavilion..."

Li Tai smiled and said: "Tentatively, but we can discuss it later."

Li Shimin shot an arrow, which accurately hit the stake.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Shimin said: "It's really like what the prince said, I'm not old, it's because I haven't practiced for a long time and I'm rusty."

Li Chengqian nodded in response, smiling awkwardly.

Li Tai also felt a little uncomfortable, obviously he had made up his own mind, what does it mean for the father to talk about the prince before saying good or bad?
The smiles on the faces of the two brothers were awkward.

Li Shimin handed the bow in his hand to the guard at the side, looked at the water in Qujiang Pond and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, it looks like it hasn't been taken care of properly for a long time."

The steward of Qujiang Pond hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, this Qujiang Pond is taken care of every day."

Li Shimin looked at the water in Qujiang and said, "Look at how many aquatic plants there are in this pond."

Hearing this, the steward of Qujiang Pond panicked, without hesitation, he jumped into Qujiang Pond and began to pick up the water plants and said, "Your Majesty calm down, and the villain will go clean it up."

Li Shimin nodded and looked at Qu Jiangchi's steward one more time and said in a low voice, "Qingque, do you think I still need to keep such a steward?"

Li Tai hesitated for a while, not knowing how to reply.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, "What does the prince think?"

"My son thinks..."

Li Chengqian also hesitated and didn't know what to say, thinking that he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Li Shimin said with some disappointment: "About Zhang Liang's matter, Qing Que, what else do you want to say."

Li Tai came back to his senses and said hastily: "My son only thought of so much."

When he was in Jingyang, Li Zheng had already explained in detail, some things he could say, and some things he couldn't.

Just talking about the father, the capable ministers under the father can arrange things very well.

It is inappropriate to say too much, and I have to say it.

Seeing that his father was about to leave, he did not deal with the steward of Qujiangchi.

Li Tai glanced at Li Zheng triumphantly, followed in the footsteps of his father and left.

Li Chengqian looked a little unconvinced, and followed his steps.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Chengqian and Li Tai went about their own affairs.

In Ganlu Hall, after Li Shimin sat down again, he saw Wang Ding's secret report, which said that Xu Jingzong exploded with dust.

Looking at the report in his hand, Xu Jingzong can blow up a house with a little dust?

And such a thing?
Li Shimin was puzzled, "Call Su Dingfang here."

"Here!"

The little eunuch hurried to do it, and after half an hour, Su Dingfang came to Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin walked up to Su Ding and said, "Tell me what happened last night, what happened to the explosion of that house."

Su Dingfang thought for a while and said: "It was night, I couldn't see it clearly, there was indeed a loud noise and I couldn't confirm what was going on, but after that sound, people from Jingyang surrounded it, so we couldn't go up and investigate. "

What Li Shimin was thinking about was what happened in those monasteries back then, which seemed to be related to the explosion.

After pondering for a while, could it be that the explosion in the temple was also the same thing.

Looking at Su Dingfang's expression again, Li Shimin said: "Okay, you should step back and go to rest early, and you haven't slept all night."

Su Dingfang bowed and said, "The last general will retire first."

After Su Dingfang left, Li Shimin said to the eunuch beside him, "Tell Wang Dingzhen how to explode, and then call Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui."

"Here!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came to Ganlu Hall half an hour later. It was also a matter of the imperial examination and Lingyan Pavilion, plus a lot of affairs of the Zhongshu Province on weekdays.

Li Shimin told the two of them the method Li Tai had said.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think this plan is a bit rough and needs to be carefully arranged."

Du Ruhui said: "You can first move with emotion and understand with reason, and then use benefits to make Zhang Liang unable to refuse, and then you can even use blackmail to let him come to Chang'an. I know Zhang Liang's foreign house. My concubine gave birth to a young son to Zhang Liang, and now he is raised in Chang'an City East."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "I have also heard about it."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Qingque told me about this method, but I am very familiar with the taste of this matter, it seems a bit like the method used to deal with Tuyuhun and Turks back then."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty is talking about Li Zheng?"

Fang Xuanling also said: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang and Li Zheng are getting close, and Li Zheng and His Royal Highness Wei Wang also want to share his majesty's worries."

"Share your worries?" Li Shimin sneered, "Li Zheng won't share my worries easily. This kid is nestled in his own Jingyang and doesn't even want to go out."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui smiled wryly, it was true.

Du Ruhui said: "Li Zhengben was born in a small peasant family. He was born in such a poor family since he was a child, so he probably didn't have great ambitions in his heart."

Fang Xuanling said again: "If all the children in the future are like this, it is not a good thing. Young talents like Li Zheng are needed by the country, and there may be people like Li Zheng in the future. It is better to catch them from children. Together, let the children who are still in school have ambitions in their hearts."
