Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 462 Be Cautious (Today's update)
Cai Shudu was the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou.After the death of King Wu of Zhou, Cai Shudu chose to rebel with Wu Geng, and was exiled to Guo Neighbor by Duke Zhou.After Cai Shudu's death, Zhou Gongdan entrusted his son Cai Zhong (named Hu) to Cai (now Shangcai County, Henan Province) to rebuild Cai State.

"You mean to exile Chengqian?" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

And Li Tai looked at Li Shimin's gaze towards him, and said worriedly, "Brother always thinks highly of himself, if he is simply exiled, even if he saves his life, I am afraid that he will have a deep sorrow, which is difficult to explain, and it will accumulate over time. , not longevity.

But if he could be given a little hope, then he would definitely be willing to live a good life. "

Li Tai acted as if he was thinking deeply about Li Chengqian, but didn't say anything more.

After all, if I talk too much about this matter, even Li Shimin will think that what he said is right, but if he is too active, Li Shimin may think that he wants to deal with the prince quickly, and then become the prince himself Woolen cloth.

Therefore, Li Tai was not very active in promoting this matter.

Because no matter how you say it, the liquidation will not officially begin until Li Shiji and the others escort Li You back.

After all, two princes jumped out to rebel within a month, which is considered an anecdote for Datang, and it will be worthy of a special mention in the history books in the future!
During this period of time, Li Tai believed that Li Shimin's mood would never get any better.

So, don't do unnecessary things, hurry up and build the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, and let's talk about other things.

At this time, the more you can't raise your tail.

Yan Wan was quite worried watching Li Tai and Li Shimin return to the Lizheng Palace, and she was relieved.

Even if she knew that Li Shimin would not kill Li Tai no matter what, Yan Wan was more or less worried seeing Li Tai go out with Li Shimin.

Li Tai and Yan Wan were about to leave, when Li Shimin said,

"Your Prince Wei's Mansion was destroyed by the rebel army led by Hou Junji, inside the pavilions, towers, pavilions, walls and sentries were destroyed a lot.

In the past few days, I will move to the palace first, I think I will live in the Wude Hall! "

"This..." Both Li Tai and Yan Wan had hesitation on their faces, wondering if they should agree.

Wude Hall is to the east of Taiji Palace, and to the east is the East Palace where the Prince lives, which itself is an expression of intimacy.

What's more important is that in history, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, deposed the prince Yang Yong in the Wude Hall, and Tang Gaozu let Li Yuanji live in the Wude Hall to check and balance Li Shimin who lived in the Chengqian Hall.

To some extent, Wude Hall has quite obvious political significance, either it is the second in the East Palace, or it is to check and balance the prince.

But no matter what, this matter was known by the courtiers, and I am afraid that no one would know how to discuss it.

After all, with Li Chengqian's complete downfall, he is the most likely person to become the prince.

But being a prince and becoming a prince are two different things. Under such circumstances, Li Shimin allowed himself to live in Wude Hall, which in itself is an obvious political move.

"Qingque, you and Wan'er should stay here according to your wishes!" Empress Zhangsun said. Much more secure."

Empress Changsun saw the fear in Li Tai's heart, but it was precisely because of this that Empress Changsun let Li Tai stay.

Empress Changsun knew that at this time, don't look at Li Shimin as if he didn't lose his mind because of Li Chengqian's rebellion, but in fact he was somewhat sensitive in his heart. After all, even Li Chengqian could rebel, which would deal a great blow to Li Shimin.

Li Tai said so when he saw Empress Changsun, but he no longer rejected Li Shimin's words, and saluted Li Shimin,

"Qing Que thanked Aye for the reward, and Qing Que will move out immediately after the renovation of Prince Wei's Mansion is completed."

Seeing what Li Tai said, Li Shimin wanted to tell Li Tai that you don't need to move out in such a hurry, why should you wait until this matter is completely stabilized, so that it won't have any impact on the entire court.

But now, Li Shimin didn't want to say anything more, he just waved to Li Tai and said, "It's late at night, go to rest!"

Li Tai and Yan Wan didn't talk much, so they settled down in Wude Hall first.

Empress Changsun couldn't help but turned her head and said with some doubts: "Why would you think of letting Qingque live in Wude Palace at this time?"

"Qingque gave Chengqian a way to survive!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Although it is a little difficult to operate, at least there are examples to follow. The only way."

"What way?" Empress Changsun asked eagerly when she heard Li Shimin's words.

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun lovingly, and said slowly: "It's very simple, Duke Zhou exiled Cai Shudu to Guo Lin."

"This... this is a good way!" Empress Changsun couldn't help but reveal a little joy when she heard Li Shimin's words.

After all, compared to killing the prince, if she could win exile, Empress Changsun would be really satisfied.

However, Li Shimin felt a slight headache. Although he had a reference example, when he wanted to solve this matter, he went from no solution to the stage where he could do it.

When Li Shiji and the others brought Li You back for interrogation, they still needed to deal with it more carefully.

After all, Li Chengqian really wanted to save the two princes, but Li You didn't mean to forgive him at all.

There is no small matter in the palace. The fact that Li Tai and Yan Wan stayed in the Wude Palace spread among the officials almost early the next morning, and they all seemed to have grasped the truth in whispers:
"Do you know that the King of Wei entered the Wude Hall yesterday!"

To be honest, if Li Tai lived in Wude Hall in the past, I am afraid that courtiers will come to impeach him immediately.

But now, although Li Tai's residence in Wude Hall is almost a very obvious political signal, it is a matter of course for the courtiers, so there is nothing strange about it.

Because of the downfall of the prince, it was a matter of course for King Wei to take the throne.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that before Li Chengqian's case was interrogated, the sage sent Li Tai to Wude Hall, which was a bit quicker.

However, most people are more worried about Li Chengqian's treason case.

Because who will handle the prince's case, and how much this case will be involved, no one knows.

Needless to say, the prince has basically been living a life of studying books these years. Could it be that someone around him advised him, which led to the rebellion this time, for example, who was running around for the prince, and now the prince is down? will implicate him.

The most important thing is, no one knows what the saint's attitude is.

It can be said that during this period of time, except for those who really have nothing to do with the prince, the courtiers, especially those who followed the prince to study books represented by Confucianism, were not at peace.

In contrast, Xu Jingzong was the most indifferent, standing upright in the hall, people who didn't know him still thought he was a loyal minister.

But in fact, he was just a poor family who was abandoned by the prince because of one failure.

To a certain extent, he has become a laughingstock, because the prince has too many people at his disposal, and he is not given a chance to pay off his merits.

But now that the crown prince has fallen, Xu Jingzong is the safest. Unless he is forced to fight, everyone knows that Xu Jingzong has escaped this turmoil to a certain extent, and he can sit back and watch the tide ebb and flow. .

In contrast, those who supported Li Chengqian tightly at the beginning wanted to find a way to separate themselves from Li Chengqian.

It would be even better if he could join Wei Wang's family.

It's just that Li Tai won't accept it. After all, at this time, he is trying to win over the courtiers, so what does Li Shimin think.

Therefore, after Li Tai greeted Li Shimin early in the morning, seeing that he didn't have to go to court today, he ran to the Chidao project early.

When Li Tai came to the construction site of the Chidao project, he could see that these people were working very hard.

After all, the news has been fermented these days. They more or less knew that Prince Li Chengqian suddenly went crazy and rebelled against Li Shimin. As a result, the rebellion failed and he was killed, and the biggest competitor of King Wei disappeared.

Therefore, for these corvees, if King Wei can become emperor in the future, will he be able to get some benefits by ascending to heaven? The requirements are not high, such as higher benefits every year, such as more clothes.

Li Tai watched the project proceeding in an orderly manner with a calm face, but suddenly, Li Tai saw a person with thoughtful eyes, and soon one or another corvee came over.

And the corvee had a bit of nervousness on his face, because he didn't know why, why Li Tai asked him to come over.

"You're an official corvee, so you came here to help!" Li Tai looked at the man and asked suspiciously.

"The young one was originally from Tubo, and later came to Chang'an with General Wang, and has been building roads with corvees all along!"

The corvee told Li Tai about his past very frankly, "Afterwards, he worked hard all the way and became a corvee."

After hearing this, Li Tai nodded and said, "I see, work hard, Datang will not treat everyone who has given to him badly!
In addition, you are already a regular employee, so you can go to the supplies department to get gloves, which are standard for formal corvee! "

Li Tai looked at the Tubo man, he didn't wear gloves on his hands, but he was wearing the clothes that regular employees only had on.

Li Tai understood that there might be the discrimination of the Tang people against the Tubo people, the making things difficult for the people who distributed the supplies, or some other miscellaneous reasons.

But Li Tai didn't want to get to the bottom of it, because the actual reason might be so absurd that it might just be that the Tibetans are not used to wearing gloves to work, and it might be fruitless and meaningless to continue to investigate.

But Li Tai used this incident as an introduction, immediately summoned his subordinates in Chang'an, and told them very seriously:

"I know that what happened a few days ago has a great impact on us and everyone, but we can't let go of our work because of this impact.

What we need to do is to repair the road from Chang'an to Luoyang in a down-to-earth manner, and to completely open up the passage between Chang'an and Youzhou.

In the future, the people of Chang'an can reach Youzhou within one month, and similarly, the supplies from Youzhou can reach Chang'an within one month.

This is what we need to focus on right now!
Work hard, do things clearly, don't be blocked, and completely conquer the vision of the big man who lost the land for 300 years. "

"Wei Wang, do you mean that the imperial court is going to take action against Goguryeo?" Wang Zhenru couldn't help being surprised when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Of course it's not suitable now!" Li Tai shook his head, but said very seriously,

"But Aye has always been thinking about Goguryeo. With the stability of the court, as long as there is an opportunity in Goguryeo, I believe Aye will not miss it.

And we just have to be prepared. If there is no chance in five years, prepare for five years. If there is no chance in ten years, prepare for ten years.

Since this is Aye's wish, he must help Aye to fulfill it. "

Li Tai paused for a while, but said, "So, we can't be impetuous in doing things. Recently, everyone feels a little floating when working, and even the corvees don't need to wear gloves when they work. There must be something wrong. "

"What do you mean, King Wei?" Lu Cai, who had already returned to Gaoling from Chang'an, asked Li Tai.

"I hope that our entire system will conduct a criticism and self-criticism, and make a summary of the mistakes during this period.

At the same time, I will recruit people from agricultural colleges, either to conduct open or unannounced visits, and conduct a check on their criticism and self-criticism.

If it conforms to what he said, and if he did not break the law, he will not investigate the past, and even if there is a problem, he will deal with it as lightly as possible.

But if they cheat, then don't blame me for being cruel! " Li Tai said very solemnly.

When everyone heard Li Tai's words, they understood that Li Tai actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the somewhat impetuous atmosphere of his subordinates.

To be honest, it is only natural for a member of the Wei royal party to be overwhelmed with the crown prince's downfall.

But he didn't expect Li Tai to be so vigilant, and now he started to rectify the atmosphere of his subordinates.

Everyone didn't understand at all, even Li Chengqian, the biggest opponent of the king of Wei, had fallen, so what did Li Tai have to worry about!

Li Tai knew very well that it was precisely because Li Chengqian fell that he had to be more cautious.

Because Li Shimin used to compare Li Chengqian with himself, but now that Li Chengqian has fallen, Li Tai is afraid that Li Shimin will compare himself with the former Li Shimin.

So Li Chengqian fell down. Although he didn't have the biggest competitor in front of him, he faced the biggest obstacle. That was Li Shimin, who was also his scrutiny for evaluating the next generation.

Li Tai understood that Li Shimin would definitely not want his own life.

After all, Li Shimin will try to save Li Chengqian for Li Chengqian's rebellion, but Li Tai is also afraid that if Li Shimin has greater expectations for himself, then if he fails to do well, he may lose points.

The more it is at this time, the more you can't go wrong!
　I caught a cold today, and I was dizzy all day long, so I just changed it. I will be more energetic tomorrow to pay off the debt. The last two changes will definitely be completed this week.
