Chapter 38: Li Yuanchang Who Doesn't Shake the Goose Feather Fan(1/2)
In the Eastern Palace, King Li Yuanchang of Han held a book called "Zuo Zhuan" easily and ignored Li Chengqian, who was so angry that his face was distorted.
Zhang Sizheng silently sings tea and refills the two of them from time to time.
Seeing Li Yuanchang's unmoved look, Li Chengqian was not calm enough to hold back. He snatched the book in his hand and complained: "Uncle Qi, I'm here to discuss dealing with Li Tai.
You can still read books when Tiandu is almost bedding. When Li Tai becomes the prince, you can go to Tianzhu to read slowly?"
Li Yuanchang is Li Yuan's seventh son, not a few years older than Li Chengqian, but his calm and moderate style was like a child in front of him.
He asked Li Chengqian to snatch his book and was not annoyed. He stretched his waist and stood up and said, "Your Majesty is here, and the sky in Chang'an cannot collapse.
Chengqian, you are the prince of the Eastern Palace, why do Li Tai beg for a roar and lose his etiquette?"
"An ordinary little thing?
Li Tai is about to marry the Cheng family, is this an ordinary thing?!
We all know the meaning behind Mr. Cheng. Today, the people in Guanlong are not having a good time.
Li Jing was unemployed and King Jiangxia was appointed as the Minister of Rites. Although his uncle was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, his father did not allow his uncle to serve as the crown prince's grand tutor.
In contrast, those people in Shandong, Li Ji was the Minister of War, and Cheng Zhijie was the governor of Youzhou. He was eyeing Goguryeo. The officials in the border areas said that this person had the most military power!
Li Tai and Cheng Zhijie will become father-in-law and son-in-law. If this matter was not approved or instructed by the emperor, Cheng Zhijie would not dare to make a big fuss with the most holy prince!”
Li Yuanchang smiled and nodded, "No, so what?"
Li Chengqian was suffocated: "So... Isn't this asking you to find a way?
It’s a pity that the group of soldiers in the East Palace were all pedantic. They either stopped me from doing things or were harsh and harsh. They wished they could act as saints and demanded me.
None of these old people who are successful but not good at making trouble can be used by me!"
Li Yuanchang sighed, "What you said may make some sense, but Wei Zheng is the prince's grand tutor whom His Majesty personally ordered. This man took office for several days and asked to see you twice. Could it be that you are holding your energy to compete with Your Majesty?"
Li Chengqian was furious and said, "I don't have it!
I just couldn't stand the old guy seeking fame. He became the Grand Tutor but he met Li Tai!
From the Sui Dynasty to Wagang, six masters have changed their work, so what are the qualifications of being the crown prince?”
"Stop!" Li Yuanchang slapped the table.
"Li Chengqian!
You must remember that you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Zheng is the crown prince’s grand tutor, and the teacher’s rites and Tianqi!
No matter how you think in your heart, you must fulfill your disciple's duties.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t take Wei Zheng seriously, but if you fall in the eyes of Your Majesty, your move is to openly provoke Your Majesty’s power!
Tomorrow you must worship the Grand Master with great tribute and listen to the teachings respectfully.
The only one who can help you stabilize the Eastern Palace is Wei Zhenger!"
After cursing, Li Chengqian was shocked. He had never seen Li Yuanchang get so angry.
In his opinion, Wei Zheng and his gang have been together for more than a year or two. This old guy squirted with his face when he got the chance. Li Chengqian endured him for a long time.
Just bear with it. Once you have become a throne, you can settle the old and new accounts together. Even if you don’t do anything, you won’t live for a few years.
Every time Chengqian faced Wei Zheng's verbal battle, this thought supported him to endure it.
Never want his father to be the crown prince's grand tutor. Li Chengqian felt for no reason when he thought of the combat power of the old Wei head who started for an hour.
Although he hated Wei Zheng very much, he understood that Li Yuanchang's words were reasonable.
We must reverse the bad influence of assassinating my younger brother in the street, and the plot will be on Wei Zheng.
As long as Wei Zheng can win the favor and have him say good words to put out the fire, his father will gradually forgive him.
“…I don’t know what Uncle Qi said, it’s just…
Forget it, everything is up to you."
Li Yuanchang then calmed down and nodded, "No, a man can bend and stretch.
As long as you can win the change of your Majesty, what if you and Wei Zheng's side are in front of each other?"
"Chengqian remembers it!
But Li Tai is becoming more and more proud now. I am already confused and don’t know how to deal with it.
The day before yesterday, I discussed with Zhang Sizheng to make a fuss about the Goguryeo people, and I would definitely ruin his good deeds in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But now Li Tai is still in control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and he is not moving, so we can't do it.
For now, he can only break his plan for Lingyan Pavilion.
If you want to make a stumbling block, Li Tai has not even announced the list now. If you want to incite the defeated high school, you really have no way to start.
If the list of twenty ministers is released before taking action, the father has taken over the list, and the final candidate will be determined by the father.
The nobles who had not entered Lingyan Pavilion were dissatisfied and did not dare to vent their anger. We would not hurt Li Tai at all.
If you can't move forward or retreat, you can worry about death. I hope Uncle Qi points out a clear path."
Li Chengqian accused Li Tai with resentment, but sighed helplessly.
"Haha, if you have an arrangement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ideological and Political Science, I will be happy to be clean and not ask about it.
As for the construction of Lingyan Pavilion, there is no way to use force before the list is released, and it cannot use force after the list is released.
If that's the case, before the list comes out, let's sort out the people who cannot be on the list for Li Tai, wouldn't it be worth mentioning?"
Li Yuanchang smiled indifferently. He ignored such a difficult problem.
"Oh, I wish you a good impression on Uncle Qi!" Li Chengqian became energetic this time.
"Think about it, in Your Majesty's mind, what are the criteria for those who are selected for this list?" Li Yuanchang was very good at inducing.
Li Tai blurted out: "Military merit is the first priority!
Our Tang Dynasty uses force to the country, and even the weak scholars like my uncle dare to slash the Wei River and deceive the Turks!"
"This is a good sentence, but it is far from being wrong.
The most powerful military achievements Li Jing was already unemployed to raise birds, but the famous general of the King of Jiangxia was now the Minister of Rites.
In my opinion, if you want to formulate the twenty-four ministers who choose your Majesty, the first thing you should do is to judge family background.
The family background of a hero represents the interests and positions behind it. This is a fact that cannot be changed and cannot be reconciled. From the perspective of measuring the court, family background should be put first.
Second, it should be measured by the choice of the Xuanwu Gate change. Anyone who dies for the Xuanwu Gate change must be kind to you. Even if you have a mediocre talent, you can still be on the list safely.
The third is to judge people’s military merits. Those who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty may not have great contributions to Your Majesty.”
Li Yuanchang said jokingly, Li Chengqian listened carefully, and finally saw the sun blowing and said, "Since it is so complicated, Li Tai must not be able to make comprehensive plans."
In this way, we don’t have to take action. Wouldn’t it be nice to sit and watch him make his father angry? It can also save him from suspicion.”
"No, Li Tai is the best at judging His Majesty's thoughts. If we do nothing, we will just hit his mind." Li Yuanchang vetoed.
“…Listen to me to tell me in detail!
Based on these three calculations, we can roughly know who Li Tai will be dismissed."
As he got to the point, Li Yuanchang became solemn: "The first one is Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia!"
Li Chengqian almost fell down and exclaimed: "Uncle Qi, are you making trouble?"
The King of Jiangxia has made great achievements in combat. The famous general of our Tang Dynasty royal family is second only to the King of Hejian.
Last year, in order to marry Tubo, King Jiangxia reluctantly married his daughter to Tubo Zanpu.
If Li Tai dares to dismiss the King of Luojiangxia, his father will beat him up to death!"
Li Yuanchang said lightly: "That's true, so King Jiangxia will inevitably be dismissed.
Your Majesty must borrow and balance the power of the royal family. For those of the twenty-four ministers, one famous general of the royal family is enough to represent.
The King of Hejian recognized that his military achievements were greater than that of King of Jiangxia, and the most important thing was that he was dead.
Making him a representative of the royal family can not only show His Majesty's kindness, but also not pose any threat to the crown prince.
On the contrary, Li Daozong completely posed a taboo on His Majesty. If he set him up, whether you or Li Tai inherited the throne in the future, Li Daozong would definitely be a giant.
With your Majesty’s heart, how could you make such mistakes?”
Li Tai's ears buzzed. Those moral gentlemen's Eastern Palace Secretary would not teach him these dark things.
Li Yuanchang continued: "The second person, Xue Wanche.
This person has great achievements and is also praised by Your Majesty.
However, he was originally the leader of the old military general, which was different from Wei Zheng. This person can be reused but cannot be demonstrated.
Xue Wanche must not be selected into Lingyan Pavilion!
The third person, Li Shentong...
The fourth person...
The fifth person…”
