Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"I remember, at this point in time, is it the time when Li Shimin is having a meeting with several important officials?"

Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and showed a sneer on his face: "This is just right, it's really God's help! Come on, let me set up the Taiji Palace with me!"

As for Li Tai, of course, he was wise and did not follow him. He looked at Li Yuan's back in a hurry, and left Da'an Palace to find the next person, the eldest grandson!

Chapter 139 The Persecution of the Supreme Emperor

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was discussing political affairs with several of his important officials.

Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji were naturally present, but this time there was one more person, Zhang Liang, who was also listed as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Speaking of Zhang Liang, he is also a powerful person. He is still a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu in the imperial court. Although this position has no real power, it is an important reference for the emperor to make decisions. Sometimes Li Shimin will seek help from their experience.

"Your Majesty, regarding the plague of the epidemic just mentioned, the loss of the states is very serious. This minister thinks that it should be..."

Zhang Liang was just halfway through when an eunuch came to report.

"The emperor is here!"

"what?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback. Even Li Shimin was surprised by "Three Two Seven", because Li Yuan didn't usually go out of Da'an Palace very often, so why did he come to Taiji Palace to look for him at this time today?

At this time, Li Yuan had already strode in, looking arrogant and arrogant, which made Li Shimin very unhappy.

"I don't know what my father is looking for today, what's the matter?"

"It's something related to King Li You of Chu." Li Yuan said straight to the point.

"Yang Jie...?"

Li Shimin's pupils shrank slightly, and asked: "Didn't the royal father ever ask about Li You, the king of Chu? But speaking of him, he has really shown his style recently, and he has solved my worries and problems. I think the royal father will also like it. ."

Li Yuan frowned and said, "What I want to talk about is not this matter, but I heard that the King of Chu has already reached the age when he should go to the fief, why is he still not moving? Isn't this a big violation of etiquette?"

Almost as soon as Li Yuan said these words, Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat.

Yup!There is also this method!

Zhangsun Wuji understood Li Yuan's intentions almost instantly. In fact, he didn't think so before, but even if he is favored again, his weight is far less than that of Li Yuan, who is the supreme emperor. The best candidate for this layer of window paper.

And now that Li Yuan has taken action, then of course what Changsun Wuji has to do is to cooperate fully!

"The emperor's words are reasonable, and the minister agrees!"

Before Li Shimin could speak, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up immediately, and at the same time looked at Wei Zheng: "Master Wei must think so too?"

Changsun Wuji was planning to give Li Shimin some more information. He saw Wei Zheng's rigid character and only accepted the ritual. Even though Wei Zheng might have guessed Li Yuan's intentions, he would still stand up and unite with Changsun Wuji.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Wei Zheng also came out and said, "This minister agrees!"

Although he had no bad impression of Li You, it was indeed unethical for Li You to stay in Chang'an for a long time and not go to the fief, so Wei Zheng must have persuaded Li Shimin.

"you……!"

Li Shimin's breath began to thicken, and he looked at Fang Xuanling and Zhang Liang coldly: "What is the opinion of the two Aiqings?"

Fang Xuanling heard the words and thought quickly in his mind, although Li Yuan's intention was obvious, but there was nothing wrong with what he said, and he immediately stood up and said: "I agree, although His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a great talent, he is not a direct son after all. , I can't let go of my hands and feet when I stay in Chang'an."

Fang Xuanling's statement is justified. For a prince who is not a direct son, in a sensitive political center like Chang'an, it is a bad thing to appear too talented, and it may even threaten the direct descendant's lineage. And cause the palace infighting!

In the end, Zhang Liang saw that the three ministers had all expressed their unanimous opinions, and he had already made up his mind.

"My minister agrees!"

If it's just a normal time, then it is indeed better to follow Li Shimin's will, but if all the ministers are so dangerous and persuaded, he will be despised if he does the opposite.

After all, in the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, both the censors and the courtiers are popular with courage to give advice. Li Shimin is also shooting himself in the foot.

"Hmph...Is what I said makes sense?" Li Yuan sneered with satisfaction, "Or, are you planning to do the opposite, not only disregarding the opinions of the important ministers, but also turning a deaf ear to what I said?"

Li Shimin was silent, but at this time his face was completely dark.

He finally realized Li Yuan's sinister intentions for picking this time!

Although Li Yuan's influence in the palace has been greatly reduced now, filial piety comes first, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to show disrespect to his father and emperor in front of several important officials.

After all, in name, the position of the emperor was passed on to him by Li Yuan, so the emperor Li Shimin has legitimacy, so even if it is just to maintain superficial skills, Li Shimin can only be forced to immerse himself in the pressure exerted by Li Yuan. !

"This matter... let me think about it carefully, and then reply!"

After a while, Li Shimin said solemnly.

All he can do now is to try to postpone this matter to the back as much as possible. After all, he had already turned against the courtiers once because of the increase in Li Youyue's salary, and this time he had turned against them because of Li You. If so, no matter how you say it, it's not what Mingjun did.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply tomorrow!"

Li Yuan waved his sleeves and went back directly, leaving only Li Shimin with a gloomy face.

To be honest, Li Shimin, who has changed his mind about Li You, did not want Li You to stay away from Chang'an and his side like this.

If it was in the past, then 4.2 Li You went to the fief and went to the fief, but now Li Shimin has swept away the neglect and disgust in the past, and doesn't hate Li You at all, then it's a different matter of course!

For the next time, Li Shimin was constantly entangled in this matter, uneasy.

Originally, things like this were unspoken rules that everyone tacitly agreed to. How could he expect that Li Yuan would not talk about the rules at all, and if he said he would break it, he would break it?

Such troubles continued until at night when he went to bed, Empress Changsun, who was in bed with him, saw this and asked softly, "Your Majesty, why are you so troubled?"
