Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 154 Shame
Li Tai quickly left the palace, obediently followed Li Shimin's order to go to Gaoling, he really didn't dare to delay a minute.

Li Tai's behavior was more or less intentional, after all, if he was going to Youzhou, there was more or less a reason.

But there wasn't one in the first place, now that there is a chance to make a pretext, then I'll do it myself.

After creating such a pretext by himself, he doesn't need to worry about it, Fang Xuanling will definitely carry out this plan.

She needs time to develop and show her talents, while Fang Xuanling needs to kick her meddlesome self out of Chang'an to pave the way for the eldest son inheritance system, which is the reason why the two parties can reach the conditions.

From Fang Xuanling's point of view, as long as Li Chengqian has a chance to play his role, then the king of Yue who develops in one place will be nothing.

Fang Xuanling understood that what Li Tai did today was to continue to fulfill the contract between the two parties.

No one said anything unnecessary, but both sides used this opportunity to reveal their meaning.

After all, Li Tai is the King of Yue and the son of Empress Changsun. Even if Li Shimin enfeoffs Li Tai, not to mention in the Central Plains, he will definitely not enfeoff him in Youzhou.

So there must be an opportunity for this matter, and now Li Tai has created this opportunity by himself.

Fang Xuanling sighed, and looked at Li Tai with even more respect.

Fang Xuanling had to admit that compared to Li Chengqian, Li Tai was more like Li Shimin, but everyone had double standards, even Fang Xuanling was no exception, and those with vested interests in Xuanwu Sect did not want this to happen again.

So for the orderly succession of the Tang Empire, it is better to be King Kuyue.

Li Tai's performance in the Liangyi Hall spread almost instantly as the courtiers left.

Some people say that Li Tai is proud of his talents, others say that Li Tai acts arrogantly, and the censors also write and play Li Tai when they are idle.

It has to be said that the existence of Li Tai provided rich materials for the censors to complete the KPI, so that they would not have to work hard to find materials every day.

When Li Chengqian heard the news, he was even more delighted, because his own brother had put too much pressure on him.

Now Li Tai is in a mess by himself, so why not let Li Chengqian feel happy.

But when he thought of being happy because Li Tai made a mistake, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

After all, not long after Li Gang died, Li Gang's gentleman education is still there, and Li Chengqian feels ashamed of his behavior.

At this moment, Li Chengqian was not alone by Li Chengqian's side. As Li Chengqian participated in the revision of the book, the people from the Book Bureau naturally leaned over.

For example, Zuo Lang Xu Jingchong, one of the Eighteen Scholars of the King of Qin, saw a bright thigh approaching, and Li Chengqian was very enthusiastic about riding on the saddle.

After all, since Li Mi came to Datang, Xu Jingzong was not good at war, and he was not good at internal affairs. Even if he wanted to sell Li Shimin, Li Chengqian never found him, and he was only a little transparent among the eighteen scholars of King Qin.

Now I have the opportunity to curry favor with the prince and become the future servant of the dragon, how can I let it go:

"Prince, this Yue king is so frivolous, even though he is talented, it is only Cao Zijian."

"Hmph, if he can compare with Cao Zi, he is also worthy!" Li Chengqian said disdainfully when he heard Xu Jingzong's words.

"Prince, doesn't the King of Yue have ambitions, why don't I send someone to help the King of Yue to promote it!"

Xu Jingchong said slowly, "Propagating that the King of Yue has the talent of Ganluo, can reconcile Yin and Yang, and govern the world."

"Huh?" Li Chengqian couldn't help frowning when he heard Xu Jingzong's words, and said, "I still want to praise him!?"

"Praising the King of Yue can not only show the respect between you and the King of Yue as brothers and friends, but also arouse the hatred of the King of Yue among the officials.

The most important thing is, maybe the king of Yue was sent to Youzhou after being provoked! "

Xu Jingchong said slowly, "It's easy for King Yue to go to Youzhou, but it's not easy to go back to Chang'an."

"Huh!" Hearing Xu Jingchong's words, Li Chengqian seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingchong and said slowly, "Your name is Xu Yanzu, right? Get this matter done, I will remember you!"

"Thank you, Prince, for your appreciation!" Xu Jingchong saluted Li Chengqian happily when he heard Li Chengqian's words.

Of course, at this moment in Empress Changsun's bedroom, Li Shimin paced back and forth and said:

"Qing Que is also true, didn't he suffer enough from Kong Yingda back then?
Make a little achievement and get carried away!

He dared to say those words in the Hall of Liangyi, and now the memorial to impeach him is a foot high. "

Empress Changsun said: "Qing Que has not had an easy life these years, and it's normal for a young man to lose his sense of proportion for a while.

Besides, he also held back a big breath for what happened back then, so it's good to let it out now!

Besides, if it weren't for the situation at the time, there would be no reason for Qing Que to open the house at the age of eight. If anyone keeps staring at Qing Que, I won't let him go! "

To be honest, Empress Changsun complained somewhat about Li Tai being forced to leave the mansion after saying a wrong sentence.

Now he is taking care of Li Tai as much as possible, and somewhat has the compensatory mentality caused by the incident at the beginning.

It's just that Li Tai is very competitive. After half a year of dormancy in the Yue Palace, he broke the situation by controlling the locusts. Now the court says that Li Tai is the number one. There must be some people who are not convinced, but if Li Tai is a capable official, no one will refute it. .

This is Li Tai's confidence in building Gaoling in the past few years.

However, Empress Changsun saw Li Tai's achievements and felt a little more distressed for Li Tai.

"Now the Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Zhenguan. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will definitely make him suffer!"

Li Shimin echoed and said to Empress Changsun, showing his majesty for a while.

Although it has only been a few years, the changes in the entire Tang Dynasty in these few years have been completely different.

Internally, I have completely grasped the power, and externally, I have destroyed the Eastern Turks in the north, and surrendered hundreds of bureaucrats in the south. The power brought by this is no longer something ordinary courtiers can contend with!

But in fact, in the following time, most of the gossip was flattering Li Tai, but very few were slandering Li Tai.

This made Li Shimin want to find someone to make an example to others, but there is no good one.

It's just that the whole wind is blowing, but it makes the officials up and down in the court a little bit unconvinced.

After all, Li Tai was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child in the final analysis, and it was really remarkable to be able to build Gaoling with one hand.

But facts aside, isn't there someone else in the process?
None of Ma Zhou, Du Chuke, and Lu Cai are talents in managing the world. The King of Yue just stole the merits of his subordinates, so there is nothing to be proud of.

Therefore, with the blowing of Li Tai's reputation among scholars, he naturally declined again.

However, it's just that the atmosphere among the scholars has declined, as for the others, they didn't shoot any cold arrows at Li Tai.

The reason is very simple, Li Shimin takes care of it, and Empress Changsun favors it. Unless it is a direct assassination method, verbal slander is basically their method, but this thing is meaningful to people who respect their names and morals.

For Li Tai, he doesn't even have morality, so you actually want to kidnap me with morality! ?
Hearing these compliments, Du Chuke, who likes to be a minister and even claims to be Li Tai's number one loyal minister, immediately came to Li Tai's Yuewang Mansion and saw that Li Tai still had the strength to stay in the study. Practicing calligraphy, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He came in calmly, looked at Li Tai's calligraphy, and said, "King Yue, don't panic when encountering major events, and write regular script without chaos, it's truly magnificent!"

"This is the Feibai script that Aye asked me to copy..." Li Tai said softly after hearing Du Chuke's compliment.

"Cough cough!" Du Chuke coughed several times, skipping the subject, and said, "King Yue, now there are a lot of rumors in the court, and everyone praises you as the most capable minister in my dynasty, even the prime ministers of Fang Du Wang Xiao Nothing can compare to yours."

"Praise and kill?" Li Tai glanced at Du Chuke, and then continued to copy the words.

Although Li Shimin shielded himself from the wind and rain, his pretentious remarks in the Liangyi Hall still made Li Shimin very uncomfortable.

So I sent a copy of "Fengju Tie" that I copied, copied five hundred times, and now Li Tai is rushing to work.

When Du Chuke heard that Li Tai saw through some people's actions that contributed to the flames at a glance, he couldn't help feeling that he was following the right person, so he said, "This person has sinister intentions and is really vicious!"

"Don't think about it, my prince brother must have done it!" Li Tai said calmly, "Others don't complain so much to me!"

"It's not good to speculate about the prince randomly, isn't it?" Du Chuke didn't expect Li Tai to bite the prince directly.

"I am the king of Yue, his prince, I have suffered from his profit, and said what happened to him!
There is no need to think about who slanders me, just consider who will benefit the most from slandering me.

So whether it's him or not, just treat it as him, prince!Taking the blame is not a matter of course. "

Li Tai continued to write with a frown on his face. Compared to thinking about all these twists and turns, writing is the most difficult thing.

"The King of Yue speaks carefully!" Du Chuke didn't expect Li Tai to believe in him so much, and he was very touched when he said such words to himself.

But for Li Tai, his real competitors are two guys, one is Li Chengqian who is sitting firmly as the prince, and the other is Li Zhi who is still in his infancy and has not yet been weaned.

You don't need to think too complicated about things for yourself, just point to one of them, and there will be a half of the correct rate.

Now Li Zhi is still young and does not have this ability, so the probability is naturally [-]%.

"Okay, you're looking for me because of this?" Li Tai looked at Du Chuke curiously.

"This matter is no small matter. When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. The king of Yue should be careful about the words of these villains!" Du Chuke said.

"You go and arrange it so that the people of Gaoling will give you a plaque as the world's most capable minister!" Li Tai said calmly.

"Ah?" Du Chuke couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect such an operation!

"What is flattery! I just want to tell the people in this world that I, Li Tai, am the most capable minister in the world!" Li Tai said.

"Er..." Du Chuke hesitated, and said, "Really want to build such a plaque?"

"The best way to dissipate the rumors is to make this matter real.

What clarification? Since they dare to give me a high hat, I dare to continue!

In the face of hard power, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers! "

Li Tai said calmly, "And I have the face to take it, so don't the people of Gaoling give it away?"

For a moment, Du Chuke was a little dazed, not knowing whether he should praise Li Tai's face, or shame Li Tai's integrity.

But I have to say, Du Chuke still arranged this matter.

As for the attitude of the people of Gaoling towards Li Tai, they naturally supported it, even if Li Tai was allowed to be the crown prince, they would still support it.

Now it's just a plaque for Li Tai. This kind of expression of gratitude to Li Tai has spread throughout Gaoling almost at once.

Not long after, an auspicious day was chosen, and the people of Gaoling beat gongs and drums, and selected two tall and strong men, and sent this plaque of the world's most capable minister to the Yue Palace Come from another hospital.

"Folks, please be polite! I accept everyone's wishes." Li Tai stepped forward and said,

"Although I also feel that I have the ability to be the most capable minister in the world, I haven't become a servant yet.

So I plan to wrap this fast plaque with red cloth and hang it on the gate of my Yue Palace.

When I become the prime minister someday, I will uncover this red cloth! "

What do the common people know? He was just happy that Li Tai took the plaque and hung it on the gate of the Yue Palace. Obviously Li Tai accepted his wish.

Instead, he said kind words happily, and then Li Tai decisively set up a three-day banquet.

But Li Tai's one-handed operation, whether it was bragging about Li Tai or resisting Li Tai, was stunned.

Because with the shame of normal people, they really didn't expect Li Tai to be so thick-skinned as to actually take over this plaque from the common people.

But let them find the handle of this matter, it seems that they can't find anything.

Wenwu is the first, this is the truth that has been summed up for thousands of years, so naturally no one in the court is convinced by Li Tai.

But if you ask the people in Gaoling whether Li Tai is the strongest minister in the Tang Dynasty, see which one will say no without conscience.

You have to know what kind of life they lived before Li Tai came to Gaoling, and what kind of life these people live after they integrated into Gaoling now. If anyone dares to speak ill of Li Tai in Gaoling, they will be directly messed up. Cudgel to death!

And such a group of people sent such a plaque to Li Tai, which is naturally unfair, but if you want to find someone who is more just than them, who can you turn to?Are you still looking for the family?

"How could he be so shameless, how could he have the face to accept this plaque!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but jump in anger!

"The King of Yue is no ordinary person after all, Prince, we have all underestimated the King of Yue!" Xu Jingzong said seriously, admitting that he did think highly of the integrity of the King of Yue.At least people can't be so shameless!
Of course, Li Chengqian was somewhat annoyed and jumped up and down, but Fang Xuanling couldn't help smiling when he saw Li Tai's wrist in dealing with this matter, and the plaque that was hung on the door but was not opened.

He couldn't help sighing with some headaches, "King Yue really has great ambitions!"

As for Li Shimin, after hearing Li Tai's way of handling this matter, he expressed his feelings at this moment.

"The people are like water. The water can carry a boat, and it can capsize it, but that's all."

No matter how you say it, Li Tai's performance in the court this time, at least as the people of Gaoling took the initiative to send this plaque to Li Tai, it sort of calmed down the matter and restored the prosperity of Tang Dynasty again.

To be more precise, the autumn harvest is coming, everyone is busy, and there is no time to pay attention to these things.
