bastard seizes tang

Chapter 670 Official Luoyang
The Kingdom of Yong is in the capital city, and an extraordinary prince can be crowned, and the entire Tang clan has been crowned several times. If there must be a king of Yong, it can only be Li Ke's eldest son. No one else.

Although the king of Wei is the second son, Li Ke has made no mistakes, and Li Shimin himself has never had the idea of ​​being easy to be crowned. Li Tai's title of King Yong is naturally out of the question.

On the contrary, Duan Yanfang's words awakened Li Shimin again, and made Li Shimin realize that Li Tai's desire to seize the crown is not dead, and Li Tai's release should also be put on the agenda.

Tai Chi Palace, Lizheng Hall, and Inner Hall.

In the afternoon of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, after the end of the imperial court, all officials withdrew, and Prince Li Ke was ordered to stay in the Lizheng Hall by Li Shimin's decree.

When Li Shimin wanted to see Li Ke, there was no notification before the court, but he summoned him after the court, obviously in a hurry, so it is not difficult to guess Li Shimin's intention, which is naturally related to court affairs.

"What do you think about the affairs of the court just now?" Li Shimin asked Li Ke as soon as Li Ke sat down in the Lizheng Hall.

Just now most of the affairs in the court followed the rules, there was nothing abnormal, the only abnormal thing was Duan Yanfang's request to make Li Tai the King of Yong, Li Shimin naturally asked about this.

Li Shimin's meaning was naturally guessed by Li Ke, but when Li Ke heard the words, he still pretended to be ignorant and asked: "I don't know what the father said?"

Seeing Li Ke's pretentious reaction, Li Shimin laughed angrily, Li Shimin said: "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be jealous, just say it."

Li Ke looked up at Li Shimin, and asked again: "Father is talking about the fourth younger brother's appointment as King Yong."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's exactly what happened."

Li Ke sighed softly, with a confused look on his face: "Actually, I also know what my father is talking about, but I don't know what to say."

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, and Li Shimin also knew what he meant by loving his son. On the one hand, it was brotherly love, and on the other hand, it was brother's covetousness for his position as prince.

In fact, Li Ke's views on this matter no longer affect Li Shimin's judgment on this matter. Many of Li Shimin's actions gave Li Tai an illusion that he shouldn't have.

As the only prince who is still allowed to stay in Chang'an as an adult, and as the only prince whose annual expenditure is comparable to that of the prince, Li Shimin's actions gave Li Tai the idea that he has a chance to become the prince in the future. This is what Li Shimin needs to correct. Yes, it has nothing to do with Li Ke, let alone anyone else.

After a short period of dullness, Li Shimin suddenly spoke to Li Ke and said, "What do you think of an official whose father wants to send the blue bird out?"

Letting Li Tai out, Li Shimin has been thinking about this for a while since Li Tai sent people to impeach Li Ke, on the one hand, it is because "Kuo Di Zhi" has not been completed, and it is inconvenient for Li Tai to leave Beijing, and more importantly, it is also the most important The reason is that Li Shimin couldn't bear his beloved son to leave Beijing, and it was difficult to see each other again.

Li Ke was somewhat prepared for Li Shimin's words, but when Li Shimin's words fell into his ears, Li Ke's face suddenly brightened.

There was both surprise when he heard about it, and reluctance to leave the capital for his younger brother, as well as some gratitude that his father protected him. In just a short moment, Li Ke vividly showed what he should have done.

Li Ke didn't directly reply to Li Shimin's words, but paused before asking Li Shimin: "Why did the father suddenly mention this matter?"

Li Shimin replied: "Since the crown prince is established, Qing Que, as an adult prince, will be an official outside the country. If he stays in Chang'an for a long time and does not follow the rules, he will inevitably be criticized by the courtiers."

In fact, Li Shimin's intention to let Li Tai go outside is mainly because he was worried that Li Tai coveted Li Ke's crown prince, and worried that the two brothers would turn against each other because of the competition for the position, just like he did back then.

Li Ke is the crown prince, and he is also the most satisfied and capable one among Li Shimin's sons. Li Shimin will not move Li Ke's position as prince, so the only way is to let Li Tai leave Beijing and stay away from Chang'an. The delusional center of power.

Li Ke said: "It is indeed the rule of the court that the prince be released as an adult. The ministers are just worried that the father will spoil the blue bird. The blue bird will leave Beijing and will not return it for many months. The father will inevitably miss it."

Li Shimin will miss Li Tai if he doesn't see him for a few days, let alone for years, but for the stability of his beloved Li Ke and Datang Guoben, Li Shimin must also make a choice.

Li Shimin said: "As a father and an emperor, personal love is better in the world. Now that Qingque has grown up, it is not appropriate to stay in Chang'an for a long time. It is not appropriate for the younger princes to learn from it."

The princes of the Tang Dynasty are usually sent out at an early age. The earlier ones were about ten years old, and they were officials who went out. It is indeed very late, not only the court, but also the princes of the clan, and Li Shimin's half-brothers are also discussing in private.

At this time, Li Ke will not be a good person in vain. Since Li Shimin himself mentioned Li Tai's release, Li Ke will not pretend to protect Li Tai.

Hearing this, Li Ke thought for a moment and said: "Qing Que has indeed reached the age of an official to be released, and there is nothing wrong with it, but Qing Que's body is a little weaker, so I'm afraid it should not be too far away."

Li Shimin nodded, and asked, "What is Ke'er's idea, and where is the best place?"

Li Ke replied: "Since Qingque is the king of Wei and the governor of Luozhou, it is very good to go to Luoyang as an official. First, Luoyang is rich and not far from Chang'an. Qingque will not suffer when he goes. I often go to Luoyang to tour the east, and I can also often invite green sparrows to meet and drive, so as to relieve my love for my son."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin slowly showed a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with Li Ke's answer.

Luoyang is the eastern capital, and it is not appropriate for the prince to be the official. Li Shimin originally wanted Li Tai to go to Shandong or Hebei, but Li Shimin did not expect that Li Ke would deliberately make Li Tai the official eastern capital of Luoyang.Luoyang is rich and prosperous, not inferior to Chang'an, Li Tai will not suffer if he goes there, and it is an excellent arrangement for Li Tai.

If Li Ke suggested that Li Tai go to a remote place, it means that Li Ke is concerned about today's affairs in the court and is also dissatisfied with Li Tai. Li Tai was worried, but since Li Ke said so, it showed that Li Ke was still very concerned about this brother who was released.

In fact, Li Ke also has his own thoughts on how to arrange Li Tai. In Li Ke's eyes, Li Tai is not a serious problem. Li Ke has never thought of taking Li Tai's life from the beginning to the end. What Li Ke wants is Li Shimin's statement not only made the court officials see the direction of the wind, but also made Li Tai retreat.

As long as Li Shimin agrees to release Li Tai, not to mention Luoyang, even Huazhou, which is adjacent to Yongzhou, is all right.

Li Shimin immediately said: "Okay, since that's the case, then my father will immediately issue an order to release the green bird to Luoyang. The official Luozhou governor will leave Beijing after the first month."
