Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

The next day, early in the morning, He Yong investigated the whole series of events leading to why Li Chengqian was frightened and fell off his horse in the palace yesterday.

Jiang Ci couldn't help but say after seeing this, "What a great guy. A duke is actually involved in this, and he is a person who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world."

Jiang Ci couldn't help but admire this man. He actually had so many godsons, which made him speechless. Of course, since he was involved in this matter, Jiang Ci would tell Li Shimin the truth.

Soon, Jiang Ci made a rare appearance at the court meeting. During this period of time, if anyone was to be asked who hated Jiang Ci the most, it would naturally be the aristocratic families.

However, no aristocratic family dared to take action again. After all, the Tang Clan in the martial arts world was a lesson for them. If they wanted to do something, they must first estimate whether they can withstand the danger of being wiped out.

Jiang Ci, the idle prince, is really idle and basically does not attend court meetings. At the same time, Jiang Ci's concubine, Zheng Liwan, also relied on her own ability to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the Tang Dynasty. However, Jiang Ci only asked Li Shimin to offer him an idle position, the Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Works. After all, he already has great power. Moreover, Zheng Liwan passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar just to set an example for women all over the world that women can also become officials and take the imperial examinations.

This has led to the fact that today's imperial examination system is really inward-looking. You know, after the invention of papermaking and movable type printing, studying is no longer as expensive as before.

Over the years, the development of the Tang Dynasty has been thriving. If it weren't for the incident of Crown Prince Li Chengqian falling off a horse yesterday, Jiang Ci would not have come to attend the court meeting.

On the way, he met Cheng Yaojin. He asked with a smile: "Your Highness, why are you here today? Is there something big going to happen?"

Jiang Ci shook his head: "Didn't Crown Prince Li Chengqian fall off his horse yesterday? It wasn't a big deal!"

Cheng Yaojin immediately realized what was going on. You know, he was smarter than everyone else. He didn't dare to ask too much. After all, he wasn't someone he dared to get involved in the prince's affairs.

Soon, after meeting Li Shimin in the hall, Li Shimin began to ask questions.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

Several officials from aristocratic families started asking, "I wonder how the Crown Prince's leg injury from yesterday is doing?" It was obvious that they had other intentions.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "The prince is fine. Just rest for a while."

At this time, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of Prince Wei Li Tai. After all, there is only one throne.

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, sighed deeply, and said, "Prince of Wei, Li Tai, go to be a vassal."

The meaning of this statement is to put an end to his idea of ​​coveting the throne.

Prince Li Tai of Wei never thought that he would be asked to go to the vassal state one day. But he knew that Li Shimin liked him the most.

"Father, this..." Li Tai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Shimin's eyes.

Then Li Tai said directly: "Father, my brother's fall from the horse has nothing to do with me. I can swear to heaven."

Li Tai said this, but Li Shimin still waved his hand and said: "You have already reached the age of adulthood and have long reached the age of becoming a vassal. Go." When Li Shimin said this, the Wei Wang Party and the ministers of the aristocratic families who wanted to get a share of the credit for following the emperor were dumbfounded. This was completely different from what they expected.

Jiang Ci saw that Li Shimin had almost finished speaking, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I impeach the Duke of Yun, Zhang Liang, for using witchcraft and plotting rebellion."

Jiang Ci's words were like a huge thunder that struck the hearts of many ministers. You know, if someone intends to rebel, he will be beheaded and his whole family will be killed.

Li Shimin sat up from the dragon throne and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Liang's wife, Li, is even more ignorant of etiquette and has an affair with someone. Moreover, Zhang Liang adopted the person he had an affair with as his adopted son, naming him Zhang Shenji. Zhang Liang also adopted 500 adopted sons in the army. Isn't this a rebellion?
In addition, Zhang Liang's wife, Li, colluded with a mysterious force and plotted against the Crown Prince yesterday. Their purpose was to turn the Crown Prince against the King of Wei and his brothers. They wanted to be the culprit. As for that mysterious force, it has not been found yet.

If all of the above is true, Your Majesty can ask Ma Zhou, Fang Gong and others to go to the army to verify whether Zhang Liang has 500 adopted sons. "

After Jiang Ci finished speaking, Li Tai was confused. He looked at Jiang Ci strangely and asked doubtfully: "Brother-in-law, the prince fell from his horse. What does it have to do with me? How could I turn against my brother!"

Jiang Ci shook his head when he heard this. This showed that Li Tai was really not fit to be the emperor. "If the crown prince falls off his horse and is seriously injured or disabled, who will be the biggest beneficiary? It will naturally be His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. At that time, will you brothers turn against each other?"

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, then he thought about it and realized that his father had already asked him to go to the vassal state.

He had also experienced the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and did not want to see brothers killing each other later. So he knelt down and said to Li Shimin: "Father, I will go to the vassal state." Li Tai's words showed that he had nothing to do with the prince's fall from his horse.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, by the way, Lord Fang, Ma Zhou, Fu Ji, Wei Zheng, the four of you must check the army thoroughly to see if Zhang Liang has adopted 500 sons in the army."

Then, Li Shimin continued, "Su Dingfang, Li Junxian, you lead the imperial guards to surround Zhang Liang's mansion and all the people in it. Not even a fly can fly out, understand?"

Su Dingfang has now gained the trust of Li Shimin and has achieved an official position similar to that of Li Junxian.

Li Junxian, Su Dingfang: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."

Li Xiaogong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, Hou Junji and others did not expect Zhang Liang to do this. After all, they were good brothers. Li Jing asked with some surprise: "Your Highness, are you telling the truth?"

Jiang Ci knew Li Jing's character, so he nodded seriously and said, "This is absolutely true. The prince fell off his horse yesterday. It was indeed Zhang Liang's wife, Li, and her guest, a wizard, who did it. Zhang Liang may not know about this, but the matter of the five hundred adopted sons is absolutely true."

Cheng Yaojin angrily cursed: "What does Zhang Liang, this bastard, want to do? Do you think your life is good now?"

Li Xiaogong was also somewhat speechless. He had never thought that Zhang Liang would rebel. It was outrageous.

Yuchi Gong looked at Jiang Ci and asked, "Your Highness, Prince Xian, you said before that Zhang Liang was colluding with a mysterious force. Do you know what that mysterious force is?"
