Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1030 Invitation from King Wei

  Many things that happened after the prince returned to Luoyang are very secret, and no one dares to reveal half of them privately, but there are still many people with good hands and eyes, and there are still ways to know about them.

  For example, Wei Wang Li Tai, for example, Yang Shufei and sisters who are currently in charge of Ziwei Palace, of course, these prime ministers under Zhongshu are more aware.

  The people in Luoyang mourned Empress Wende, and at the same time praised the prince for sympathizing with the prince. No one knew that the prince was in a very bad situation and was almost imprisoned in the East Palace.

  Yongchang Square.

  In the palace of the Prince of Wei, Li Tai was dressed in white linen filial piety clothes, and kept his filial piety for Empress Wende at home. Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai, two brothers-in-law, came in.

  Chai Lingwu leaned over to the fat Li Tai and whispered in the ear, Li Tai nodded repeatedly, his brows and eyes could not hide the joy.

  In this world, no one cares more about the prince than he does, but he doesn't expect the prince to be good, but to hope that the prince will be bad.

  Both born to the emperor and empress, why did Chengqian, who was born earlier than him, become the crown prince and the crown prince, and will become the emperor in the future, so he can only go to the remote Jiannan Xichuan to serve as the governor of Xining Prefecture?

When he was young, he was warned by his father that the crown prince is the son of the eldest son, and the heir should be the heir. At that time, he didn't think it was wrong, but as he grew up, he understood what power is and what the world is. different thoughts.

Especially in the past two years, the prince has been left alone, and he has become more and more unscrupulous. After causing many things, Li Tai saw some opportunities, and his friends Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai, who played together since childhood, kept agitating , making him more restless.

   Chengqian left Chang'an privately and went to Longyou, so Li Tai sent people day and night to inquire about Chengqian.

  When he heard that Chengqian had won a great victory in Longyou and wiped out Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, Li Tai couldn't believe it, and his heart felt ashamed for a while.

  But who would have thought that things would turn around so quickly.

  Chengqian was so dangerous in Longyou that he was injured and broke his leg and became a cripple. But this time he couldn't call him back again and again, which made him miss the last time to see the queen, which made the emperor furious.

  Now the prince is almost imprisoned in the East Palace, and he is caught off guard by the twists and turns.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the queen mother who loved her all along had just passed away, Li Tai would have clapped her hands and danced happily.

   "Is the news reliable?"

"It's absolutely reliable. The prince didn't want to go back to Luo in Qinghai. It was Qin Lang who went back to Luoyang and heard the news in Chang'an. face, and whipped the prince's **** with the sole of his shoe, and finally threw the prince into the lotus pond, soaked his head in cold water, and brought the prince back to Luoyang..."

  Chai Lingwu was drooling, "This Qin San is really domineering enough, even dare to beat the crown prince, relying on his military achievements, he is already unscrupulous."

  He still remembers the conflict between him and Qin Lang in Pingkangfang ten years ago, Qin Lang dared to attack him because of a cheap prostitute.

  This disgrace has not been reported for ten years.

   It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and Chai Lingwu has always remembered it.

   "My lord, this is a good opportunity. Let's take a good look at Qin Lang's book. Just because he dared to beat the crown prince, it is enough to bring him down."

  The prince is the king, even if Qin Lang is the prime minister, he is only a minister, how can a minister beat the king?

   This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

   "Qin Lang committed the crime of disrespect, this is the sixth heinous crime."

  Li Tai frowned with his sleeves covered.

   "My lord, I will send someone to see Mr. Wei in a while, and arrange for the censor to impeach Qin Lang!"

Wei Ting is the current official censor and one of the core members of the Wei royal party. As the chief of the censor platform, it can be said that he is very important to Li Tai's party. According to the system, the responsibility of Yushitai is very strong, and it is an important means for the emperor to balance the prime minister.

  When the prime minister is impeached by Yushitai, he must immediately take the blame and resign, go home to face the crime, and suspend his post for investigation and wait for the result to be dealt with.

   Although Yushitai will not impeach the prime minister easily, because once the impeachment is done, either the investigation will prove that the crime is true, the prime minister will be dismissed and demoted, or if there is no evidence, the censor will sit back and suffer.

  But after all, Yushitai holds the power to supervise and impeach the prime minister.

  Wei Ting supported Wei Wang Li Tai, and it was Wang Gui who intervened through it. Back then, Wei Ting built the Prince Zuowei for Prince Yin, and Wang Gui was Prince Zhongyun. Wang Gui had an in-law relationship with Fang Xuanling in the Zhenguan Dynasty, so Wang Gui joined the Wei Royal Party because of Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling supported the king of Wei, and he recruited Wang Gui, who then recruited Wei Ting, and then Wei Ting also recruited Du Chuke from the Du family of the Jingzhao family, plus Chai Shao. The strength of the year expanded rapidly.

  So many powerful factions invested in the Wei royal party, in fact, it was mainly caused by the crown prince Chengqian's overreach in the past few years, which made many people not optimistic about Chengqian, so they changed their course and bet on Li Tai.

"Break of etiquette and integrity is called disrespect. It is disrespectful to treat the emperor and the prince without a courtier. But it also depends on the situation. Even if Qin Lang really beat the prince, there is a reason for it. Qin Lang's treatment with the emperor The degree of petting, it is impossible to treat Qin Lang for this matter, even if impeachment, it will be nothing. I even dare to say that Qin Lang beat the prince in Longyou. I am afraid that the emperor will not blame him, but may still I will be grateful, after all, it was Qin Lang who brought the prince back to the Eastern Capital."

  Li Tai's chubby fingers were crossed, two thumbs were turning there, and his small eyes narrowed.

"Qin Lang is the core and leader of the princeling party, but Qin Lang is not an ordinary person. It is best not to provoke him easily. Unless we are fully sure to overthrow him, otherwise we will have to bear the consequences of angering him. I I heard that the relationship between Qin Lang and the prince has not been harmonious in recent years, and now that this incident happened again, this is actually a good opportunity for us to win him over."

   Chai Lingwu was stunned.

  Li Tai looked at him, "I know that you and Qin Lang had some quarrels, but that was a long time ago. I hope you can turn the conflict into friendship."

   Chai Lingwu blushed.

   "I will definitely make it up to you in the future, so don't bother with Qin Lang any more just because of my face."

  Chai Lingwu said bitterly, "But Qin Lang is afraid that he may not be willing to respect the king. The king has shown him all kinds of favors before, but he has never responded."

   "I know, but why hasn't the situation changed?"

Although Qin Lang never paid much attention to Li Tai, Li Tai didn't hold any grudges because of it. Qin Lang's position is high and powerful, and he is especially capable. This is an indisputable fact, and he has the emperor's trust. Turn enemies into friends.

   What's more, Qin Lang is not only a popular courtier, but his father Qin Qiong is the court's Taibao. Although it is said that he is about to die now, he is still the head of the generals of the Zhenguan Dynasty if he does not die for a day.

The prestige in the military is there. Although Li Jing, Chai Shao, Li Ji, etc. are also very good at fighting, and their achievements are not inferior to Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong is the leader of the military that Li Shimin specially set up. The close partnership is unmatched by Chai Shao, Li Jing and others.

On the other hand, behind Qin Qiong is the huge meritorious group of Shandong military upstarts, especially Wagangzhai Mountain, which is very powerful in the military world. Zhang Liang and Wei Zheng were actually members of Wagang.

   Then there is Guo Xiaoke and others.

   There are also Huang Junhan, Luo Shixin, Pei Renji, etc. who have passed away. Although they have passed away, their children have also entered the military court. The strength of the Shandong Jungui Group has always been the emperor's foundation.

  Although the emperor has reused the Guanlongmen faction and the Shandong gentry over the years, no one can ignore the military group behind the Qin family.

Although Qin Lang is young, his position in this upstart group of military exploits is that of a new leader. The old brothers of Qin Qiong's generation, Cheng Yao Jinniu Jianhu and even Li Shiji and Li Daliang, etc., are now regarded as Qin Lang's nephew and junior. recognized and convinced.

  Why has Chengqian's status been so stable over the years?

  Because standing behind him are Changsun Wuji and Qin Lang, the eldest grandson represents the Guanlong military aristocratic group that has been reorganized since the Zhenguan Dynasty, and Qin Lang represents the emerging Shandong military upstart group.

  The new and old military aristocratic groups should have been rivals, but under the emperor's wrist, the two groups supported Cheng Qian together. This is the fundamental reason why Cheng Qian's position has been firm these years.

  If it weren't for Cheng Qian's own death in the past few years, how many people would switch to him and Li Tai?

   "Recently the crown prince was banned from the East Palace, and only Qin Lang was allowed to come and go freely. Qin Lang is now actually presiding over the affairs of the East Palace. Is the relationship between the Crown Prince and Qin Lang still tense?" Li Tai asked.

"It is said that the crown prince did not speak a word to Qin Lang on the way back from Qinghai to Luoyang, and after returning to Luoyang, the crown prince still did not speak a word to Qin Lang. Qin Lang now goes to the East Palace every morning and afternoon, But every time Qin Lang visited, he ignored him, and the relationship was very rigid."

  Li Tai couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and immediately put away his smile.

   "Send Gu a post to Qin Lang, and invite him to Wei Wangchi for a while."

  Weiwangchi is a scene in Luoyang, and the scenery is very good.

In Luoyang City, there is Tianjin Bridge on the Luohe River, which is connected to Dingdingmen Street in the south, east of Dingdingmen Street, and south of Luoyang Embankment. The Lifangs from west to east are Shangshanfang and Jingshanfang. Between these two squares and Luoyang Embankment, There is a lake, which was formed by taking soil and repairing the city during the construction of Luoyang City, the eastern capital, during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty.

When Qin Lang rebuilt Luoyang, not only did he not fill the lake, but he also renovated it, making the lake a garden in the center of Luoyang. The entire lake covers an area of ​​300 mu, and the repair is extremely beautiful. It was originally intended for the people of Luoyang to play. place.

Li Shimin moved his capital to Luoyang, and gave Li Tai both Huixunfang and Daoshufang in the east of Shangshan and Jingshan two squares, and built Wei Wangfu on the land of the two squares. Seven States Military.

  The 300-acre lake became Li Tai's private back garden, known as Weiwangchi, and even the embankment to the north was also called Weiwangdi.

  In the outskirts of Luoyang, the emperor also gave Li Tai a larger piece of land, specially for Li Tai to raise pigs. Li Tai grazed 3,000 pigs on that land...

Weiwangchi is just behind Li Taiwei Wangfu, the second Taoist workshop where Wei Wangfu is located. Among them, Taoshu workshop was called Taoshu workshop in Sui Dynasty, but it was changed to Huixun workshop after entering Tang Dynasty. Evil, the Five Elements, Divination, Divination, and Medicine all gathered in Dongdu, set up this workshop, sent envoys to inspect it, and were not allowed to enter or leave, so it was called Taoism Workshop.

  At that time, Luoyang gathered all kinds of craftsmen, even three religions and nine streams. A total of twelve workshops were located in the south of Luoshui, and Daoshu Workshop was one of them.

   "Send a set of Kuo Di Zhi compiled by Gu to Qin Lang."
