Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 2 The new owner of the East Palace
Chengqing Hall

"The Supreme Emperor, it's time to move away. You have given up the throne, what's the only thing missing is this palace." Pei Ji said to Li Yuan.

"Xuanzhen, are you speaking for him today?" Li Yuan drank the wine in his hand, dangled it and walked towards Pei Ji.

"Emperor Supreme, Your Majesty has ascended the throne now, let the past go, and they will all be given titles after completion. The two emperors in this palace are also disadvantageous to the country. What do you think of Da'an Palace?"

"Oh, I have failed so much. I wanted to stay here for a few more years. Forget it. I will move out of Tai Chi Palace tomorrow, and I will move to Da'an Palace. I will watch him there, see their father and son suspect each other, and brothers kill each other. Who told him to do this, hahaha."

According to common sense, Li Yuan should have moved to Da'an Palace a long time ago. The ministers all thought that it was because of the completion of the construction and Yuanji's death that Li Yuan deliberately embarrassed his son.

Actually no, he knew the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power. Since he started to support Jiancheng and Yuanji, he was ready to sacrifice one side. This time the change of Xuanwu Gate did not make Li Yuan really give up.

He was waiting, just like he was waiting for Yang Guang to perish step by step in Jinyang. Secretly, his forces were actively contacting the aristocratic family, trying to use the power of the aristocratic family to check and balance Li Shimin's power.

But seeing Pei Ji coming, he knew he had failed, and the family chose the latter between him and Li Shimin.Under the joint suppression of the military group and the family headed by Li Shimin, his power was dealt a devastating blow, and the struggle to withdraw from the imperial power was his only choice.

Li Shimin, who learned that his father was going to Da'an Palace, immediately sent someone to clean it, and at the same time asked Empress Changsun to choose beautiful palace servants to serve the Supreme Emperor.

After all, he still felt indebted to his father, which saved the emperor's face for Pei Ji.Li Shimin issued an order to increase the number of households to [-]. Pei Ji shook his head helplessly after receiving the imperial order. He knew that if the Pei family wanted to continue to exist, if they could not cater to the new emperor, they would be doomed to be lost in the vast history.

Taiji Palace was built in the early Sui Dynasty. Its palace city is 2830 meters wide from east to west and 3 meters long from north to south.

Taiji Palace is the first large palace complex in Chang'an, the capital city. There are 20 to [-] halls, pavilions, pavilions, halls, and more than [-] pavilions and courtyards in the East Palace.

Tai Chi Palace was the center of political activities in the early Tang Dynasty. Looking at the Tai Chi Palace standing on the 36 stone steps, standing on the bottom stone steps, you can see the flying eaves, and the auspicious animals on the eaves are yu, Xiezhi, and bullfighting. , Xingshi, and Suanni look majestic in the twilight sunlight and also show the supremacy of imperial power.

The "Government of Zhenguan" decree was issued from here, and many famous stories of Zhenguan's monarchs and ministers discussing politics also happened here.

After Luo Yi, his son and his family were escorted to Beijing, Li Shimin's life became more and more difficult day by day. Feng Deyi and other ministers wrote a memorial every day, asking the emperor to copy and execute the rebellious Luo Yi's family.

And the old generals of Qin Palace are also the women and children of Paul's family. Feng Deyi and the others think that killing Luo Yi's family is already very good. The nine families of their family are all in the company. His Majesty is a new treasure, so it is not appropriate to kill too much, or else Jean can spare them.

Hearing this, the generals of Prince Qin's Mansion were blown away. What's the matter? They don't let people talk anymore, and they put a big hat on them every now and then. The old men are working hard for the court with their heads up. When you come back, you civil servants will know how to make contact.

After working together for more than ten years, how can we not tolerate extrajudicial feelings? It is not enough to kill Luo Yi and his son, but the whole family must be killed.But the civil servants hold the reason in their hands, and it's useless even if you say that you want to break the sky.For a while, there were endless curses in the hall, and various dialects emerged one after another.

Li Shimin looked coldly at the ministers arguing below, he understood that Feng Deyi and the others were ulterior motives, and their purpose was to exchange Li Chengqian's life as a pledge, and lose the credit for delaying his attack time.

In order to let Li Ke, the king of Hanzhong County whom they had long liked, become the prince. Li Ke was born with the blood of the two dynasties, which made the old and young of the Sui Dynasty pay special attention to him.

Even when Li Shimin was standing up a while ago, they still supported the establishment of Yang as the queen. Thinking of this, Li Shimin secretly clenched his fists under his sleeves. Although he was angry, Li Shimin had to endure it.

Seeing the deadlock between the two sides, Changsun Wuji went out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, we can't discuss it today. I think it's better to disperse the court first, so that all the ministers and workers can calm down."

Changsun Wuji's words were considered to have made the emperor look good. After hearing this, the emperor nodded and walked away.

"Auxiliary machine, they disrupted the appointment of Emperor Qian as the crown prince today," Li Shimin said viciously.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Tomorrow morning, you will directly announce the decree. Obedience to the decree is a loyal minister, resist the decree!"

A cold light flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes. For his own sister, it seemed that he had to make some preparations. .
The next day, in front of the Taiji Palace, three thousand Xuanjia soldiers stood on the square, their armor gleaming, Feng Deyi sighed in his heart, he underestimated His Majesty's determination, today's major event is about to be decided.

The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the eldest son of the emperor, the king of Zhongshan, Li Chengqian can be established as the crown prince."

Afterwards, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other ministers and the generals of the Qin Palace came out to second the meeting.

Looking at the Xuanjia army outside the door, Feng Deyi had no choice but to go out and second.And those ministers who supported Li Ke saw that Feng Deyi had given in, and if he persisted, his head would move. They didn't see whether the group of killers outside the door had sharpened their knives, so they all came out to second the proposal.

"Quasi-playing, proclaiming the decree".

Li Chengqian knelt under his highness and listened to the servants reading aloud: "The imperial edict said: Since I ascended the throne with the edict of the Supreme Emperor, I have been carrying out military and state affairs, employing people and administering them well, and I dare not relax until I am tired.

Xu Yinghong continued, trembling day and night, admiring his ancestor Mo Lie Zhao Fou, entrusting him with the most important, carrying on the celebration, and endowing him in Yuanliang.The eldest son of the emperor Li Chengqian, as the first heir of the emperor, belonged to the will of heaven, carried out the ceremony, and obeyed the public opinion,
I would like to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the country, to grant the book of treasures, to establish him as the crown prince, and to be in the East Palace.

"My son thanked my father and emperor Long En", after the big ceremony, I was at the head of the class, and then all the ministers congratulated Li Shimin and Li Chengqian. It took nearly an hour to finish this back and forth.

Li Chengqian knew in his heart, don't look at some ministers kneeling in front of him, but they still don't think of him in their hearts.In the early Tang Dynasty, aristocratic families were very powerful, and most officials came from aristocratic families. They used marriages to form a force that could control the imperial power.

During the reign of Wude, the court put its main energy on eliminating all kinds of anti-kings and stabilizing the border, and the aristocratic family took advantage of the gap.In a short period of time, it extended its tentacles to every corner of the Tang Dynasty, and even the generals who followed Li Shimin in the battle were all proud of marrying the family.From this, Li Chengqian knew that the problem of the aristocratic family had reached the point where it had to be resolved.

Afterwards, Shang Shu Zuo Pu shot Pei Ji out of the class, and stated that since the new emperor came to the throne, Luo Yi was flattened inside, and Turks were thrown away, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Li Chengqian, who watched Pei Ji talking eloquently, sympathized with him in his heart, saying that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and don't be a cow and horse for children and grandchildren, but who can be an exception, the prime minister is also a human being.

You see, isn't Pei Ji a good example? Under the pressure of his father, the founding prime minister had to lower his haughty head. Alas, Li Chengqian sighed.

East Palace
"Chengqian, from today onwards you are the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty and the new owner of the East Palace. You have to learn from the past and learn from the masters, so that in the future I can rest assured that I will hand over the world to you.", Dawei His Majesty the Emperor looked at his eldest son lovingly.

"Father, my son knows that you are under pressure to make your son the crown prince. Please rest assured father, you will definitely live up to your father's expectations."

"Okay, I'm very happy that you understand this." Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, it's time to choose a teacher for Your Highness." Changsun Wuji said while looking at Li Chengqian who was a little strange.

"The auxiliary machine is talking about the prince's teacher, which is related to the inheritance of the country, so who do you think is suitable?"

Li Shimin knew that Changsun Wuji had worked hard to get Li Chengqian into the reserve position.Whether it's support for themselves or love for their sister, the couple must remember this kind of favor.

Although the emperor is said to be the lord of the world, there are some things and some words that must be spoken by others, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who is the eldest brother-in-law, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"I thought that Li Gang and Zhang Xuansu could be the prince's teachers. Although the two did not teach Yang Yong and Jiancheng well, only two of them knew how to prevent the prince from going astray. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Er thought for a while, and felt that Changsun Wuji's words made sense. When Li Er was contemplating, Li Chengqian interjected, "Father, can you find a master who can learn martial arts and art of war?"

"Who do you want to learn martial arts from?"

"General Zuo Wuwei Duke Yi, Qin Qiong"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Er and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and smiled, and Li Chengqian also learned to talk around the corner. Who didn't know that because of Luo Yi's problem, Qin Qiong was implicated.

And the emperor was looking at Qin Qiong's face, so he didn't kill Luo Yi and his son immediately, and they are still detained in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.Li Chengqian doesn't think about old evils, and can still think about the court. He really looks like a prince of a big country.

Li Chengqian knew that his narrow-mindedness could not deceive the two people in front of him, so he boldly said: "Luo Yi and his son have been guarding the border for a long time. At that time, Luo Yi and his son will be grateful for the kindness of their father and emperor, and they will swear to repay it with death.

On the other hand, General Qin is an ex-officer of the Qin Palace, and he has been serving the Lord for a long time. If the father pardons Luo Yi and his son, the generals in the Qin Palace will be very grateful, but the father will reject all opinions, and will not forget the good name of the hero will be passed on to future generations." .

"Chengqian, tell me the truth, who taught you today's words?" Li Er asked with a glance at Changsun Wuji.

"Father, if a person who has died once is still young, then he will have no face to be the prince!"

"Decree: Li Gangjin Prince Taishi, Zhang Xuansu Jin Prince Shaoshi, Qin Qiongjia confers Prince Shaofu, Luo Yi, Luo Cheng are removed from the titles and official positions, and sent to Li Ji's army to serve."
