Chapter 430
Li Tai, king of Wei, was about the same age as Li Ke, with only one year difference between them. Li Ke had served as a governor, and had been in other towns for nearly three years, but Li Tai, king of Wei, had stayed in Chang'an and never left Beijing.

Concubine Yang felt very surprised at first when she heard Wu Meiniang's words. Concubine Yang did not expect Wu Meiniang to say such a thing.

Concubine Yang asked: "How did my son think of this?"

Wu Meiniang replied: "The prince is in Beijing, it is inevitable that there will be chaos in the court. As long as Wei Wang is still in Chang'an, he will be thinking about how to deal with Saburo. If he is an official, he will be involved in state affairs at that time. Things are beyond our reach, so the emperor's ears will naturally be quiet."

Concubine Yang nodded and said: "My son's words are correct, but because of the empress, King Wei is favored by His Majesty, and he is fat and weak, so it is inconvenient to travel far. It may be extremely difficult to let King Wei go out of Beijing. "

There are two reasons why Li Tai was able to stay in Beijing: first, Li Tai was born of the eldest grandson empress, and was the second son of the eldest son, loved and favored by Li Shimin; second, Li Tai was fat and bony It is also weak, and it may be inconvenient if you travel far.Therefore, Li Shimin specially allowed the king of Wei to stay in Beijing, and he did not need to be an official.

Wu Meiniang asked: "Aniang is referring to the sixth year of Zhenguan, when the ministers discussed the matter of the officials released by the kings?"

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin took advantage of the King of Han's perverting the law to push the court to discuss, and urged the sons of the Supreme Emperor and Li Shimin's younger brothers to leave Beijing as officials. That time Li Ke and Li Tai were still preserved and stayed in Chang'an.

Concubine Yang said: "Yes, in the sixth year of Zhenguan and the seventh year of Zhenguan, there was a discussion in the court that the prince should be released. The ministers also admonished Ke'er to release him in the middle of the court. At that time, His Majesty took shelter and wanted to force Ke'er to stay in Beijing, but Ke'er shared his father's worries, so he asked to be released, and then he left Beijing. The King of Wei was favored by His Majesty, and he was not here. Under Ke’er, and the King of Wei is protected by the Empress, if the King of Wei refuses to leave the capital voluntarily like Ke’er, it may be difficult to force the King of Wei to leave the capital.”

Li Tai was originally the same as Li Ke, and was extremely favored by Li Shimin. In addition, Li Tai was fatter and had the protection of the eldest grandson empress. If Li Tai didn't want to, and wanted to let Li Tai out of Beijing, it would naturally be difficult to compare.

Wu Meiniang said: "Wei Wang has a lot of ambitions, it is absolutely impossible for him to leave Beijing voluntarily, we need to find another way."

Concubine Yang looked at Wu Meiniang's appearance, she didn't seem to be aimless, so she asked, "Is there something I can do?"

Wu Meiniang had a pair of willow eyebrows, she thought for a moment, and then asked Concubine Yang: "Aniang thinks that King Wei can stay in Beijing, why is it the queen's protection, or is she too fat to travel far?"

Concubine Yang replied without hesitation: "The son of the emperor is young, and he is still an official outside the country. Among the princes in Beijing, the king of Wei is the oldest. It is thanks to the queen's protection that the king of Wei can stay in Beijing."

Wu Meiniang said: "Aniang's words are very true, so the key to making King Wei leave the capital is not King Wei himself, but the queen."

Concubine Yang recalled Wu Meiniang's words, and after thinking about it, a hint of surprise slowly appeared on her face. She never expected that at Wu Meiniang's age, she would have such insight.

What Wu Meiniang said is exactly right. Whether Li Tai can stay in Beijing is never something he can decide for himself. It is the Empress Changsun who can decide whether he can stay in Beijing. This seems simple, but it is something that many people in the court have not seen through. He was lightly pointed out by the little girl Wu Meiniang.

Originally, Concubine Yang advocated marrying Wu Meiniang for Li Ke because Wu Meiniang was well-behaved and sensible, and her mother Yang was of the same clan as him, but now it seems that her daughter-in-law is even more powerful than she thought. many.

At the same age, for an instant, Concubine Yang seemed to be able to see Li Ke's appearance four years ago from Wu Meiniang. At that time, Li Ke was also young, but his mind was equally transparent.

For a while, Concubine Yang couldn't even imagine how she could give birth to such a clever daughter with the cautious but honest temperament of a warrior.

Concubine Yang said: "What my son said is very true. Now that my son has thought of this, he must have already made up his mind."

Wu Meiniang said: "The empress has the reputation of benevolence and virtue, and she sets an example for the court in everything. The king of Wei has already married and is an adult, and it is time to release him from Beijing. As long as the court can be promoted, the king of Wei will be released from the court. The louder the voice, the more intense the conflict between the inner palace and the outer court. At that time, if the queen is forced to come forward, the queen will take the overall situation into consideration, and even if the king of Wei refuses, the queen will persuade the emperor to let the king of Wei out of Beijing."

Concubine Yang nodded thoughtfully, and asked: "My son means that I want the inner palace to exert force, and the inner court and the inner court will discuss it together, forcing the queen to come forward?"

When the prince is released from Beijing, the official place is usually the affairs of the court, so it is mostly set in the court hall and does not involve the harem. However, the prince is not only an important minister in the court, but also a child of the clan. no.

Li Shimin counted his sons, the eldest son, Li Chengqian, as the prince, naturally could not leave Beijing; the third son, Li Ke, had already been released, and now he was in charge of the river east; The outgoing princes are all younger than the fourth son Li Tai.

If there is another discussion in the court that the princes should be released, the princes will leave the capital as officials, and the concubines in the palace will definitely complain. At that time, they only need to reconcile a little bit, and the disputes will start. Whether it's to calm the turmoil between the inner and outer courts, she must persuade Li Tai to let him go.

Wu Meiniang replied: "That's right, that's exactly what Meiniang meant. King Wei is also a prince, and if Sanlang needs to be released, how can he stay in Beijing and make things difficult for Sanlang. It's just..."

Wu Meiniang said, paused, and continued: "It's just that although we can get King Wei out of Beijing, I'm afraid it will be hard for my younger brother."

Li Yin is the sixth son of the emperor, four years younger than his elder brother Li Ke, already in his twenties, and has reached the age of officials to leave the capital, if the court really discusses the prince's officials to leave the capital, Li Yin must be among them, so Wu Meiniang said this.After listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Concubine Yang knew what it meant.

Just as Wu Meiniang finished speaking, Li Yin, who just came in from the back hall, also entered the inner hall, and vaguely heard Wu Meiniang calling his name.

Li Yin entered the room, greeted Concubine Yang and Wu Meiniang first, and then asked: "I was outside the door just now but I heard my brother and sister-in-law mention my name?"

Concubine Yang looked at Li Yin and said with a smile, "Min'er has sharp eyes and ears, and he can listen even after such a long distance."

Li Yin said: "That's natural. I heard that my brother and sister-in-law seem to have something to entrust to me, but is that so?"

After hearing what Li Min said, Wu Meiniang first looked up at Concubine Yang, and seeing Concubine Yang nodded slightly, she agreed to Wu Meiniang's intention, and then Wu Meiniang asked: "Brother, if you are released from Beijing, I can help you Brother, would you like to?"

Li Yin heard that, although he didn't know why he could help elder brother when he was released from Beijing, but Li Yin and Li Ke were even brothers and sisters, and Li Yin heard that he could help Li Ke, so he immediately responded: "As long as I can help brother, it doesn't matter if I go out of Beijing, but I don't know military affairs, so don't go to the other state."

Wu Meiniang chuckled and said: "That's natural, your elder brother is already overseeing the army in Bianzhou, if my younger brother leaves Beijing, he won't go to Bianzhou."

When Li Yin heard the words, he agreed, "That's good, but I don't know when I will leave Beijing?"

Wu Meiniang thought for a while and replied: "This matter is very important, so don't rush it for a while. Let me discuss it with your elder brother before deciding."
