Chapter 316 Handwriting
Five days later, as the principals of the 20 water companies in Yangzhou gathered in Yangzhou, under Li Ke's urging, they set up a water bank, set up water regulations, and divided water affairs. In an inconspicuous street, [-] years later, the Ducao Transshipment Department, which divides the world and runs through the north and south, has begun to take shape.

At the same time, after days of running around, Liang Wang Li Yin finally returned to Chang'an with Li Ke's handwriting.

Although Li Shimin has issued three edicts on the assassination of Li Ke, but because of Li Shimin's change of Xuanwumen "before the jewels and jade", Li Chengqian's lies are far from over, and there are not a few ministers staring at Li Chengqian , everyone is also waiting for Li Min to bring Li Ke's attitude from Yangzhou.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, at the end of summer, the court was within ten days.

Li Shimin sat upright in the middle of the Hall of Liangyi, and on both sides of His Royal Highness were the ministers, divided into civil and military affairs.And Prince Li Chengqian also stood at the head of the officials just like in the past.

The crown prince is the heir apparent of the country, a superhuman minister, and it is reasonable and an honor to be in the first place, but today, Li Chengqian is standing here, but he seems very cramped, and he is not as calm as he used to be.

There are many reasons for Li Chengqian's panic. Firstly, his reputation has been greatly reduced recently, and the reputation among the government and the public is also not as good as before. Although Li Shimin did not move his position as the crown prince by rumors, the civil and military officials of the court looked at him. The look in his eyes has made it difficult for him to deal with himself;

Second, Li Yin is still in court today. In the eyes of Li Chengqian, Li Yin is just a young boy who is not easy to be successful, but what Li Yin represents is Li Ke's attitude towards this matter. If Li Ke is really persistent If you want to get to the bottom of this matter, even if Li Shimin intends to protect him, it will be difficult for Li Chengqian to escape unscathed.

After all, Li Ke is not an ordinary courtier. Li Ke already has some influence in the court, not to mention that he was a young man who pledged to Saibei, and millions of people in Guanzhong still owe him his kindness. Will disregard people's sentiments.

"Report to Your Majesty, the King of Liang is seeking an audience outside the hall." The Zhongguan's voice came into the hall from the door of the hall, and also reached Li Chengqian's ears. Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat.

"pass."

Following Li Shimin's reply, Li Chengqian unconsciously glanced in the direction of the palace gate from the corner of his eye.

Li Yin is now 12 years old. Although he has been to the court before, it is the first time for him to report to the court like this today.

"My son, Li Yin, pay homage to my father." Li Yin stepped into the main hall under the gaze of everyone, walked steadily to His Highness, and bowed to Li Shimin who was sitting on the hall.

Li Shimin saw Li Min worshiping His Highness, raised his hand, and said to Li Ke: "Liu Lang is here, get up quickly."

Li Chengqian was not the only one who was nervous about returning to the north, Li Shimin was also the same, but his worries were different from Li Chengqian's. Li Chengqian was worried that Li Yin would make trouble in the future, while Li Shimin was worried that Li Ke would not let go of this matter. It is difficult for him to be a father, and it also makes Manchu Wenwu watch his brothers in the Tian family at odds.

Li Shimin didn't call Li Yin title or name, but called him Liulang, telling Li Yin that brotherhood should be the most important thing in today's affairs.

Li Shimin didn't know whether Li Yin understood what he meant, but he saw that Li Yin got up slowly, took out a letter from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said to Li Shimin, "I will report to my father, my son. According to the emperor's order, go south to confer the honor of Brother Sanhuang, Brother Sanhuang has written the decree in hand, please read it."

As soon as Li Yinzhi's words came out, all the people in the entire hall looked at Li Yin and the handwriting in Li Yin's hand. They all knew the meaning of this handwriting.

Among the crowd, the ones with the most exciting expressions were Prince Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai.

Li Chengqian is in the midst of a storm, and he is worried that Li Ke's handwriting contains embarrassing meanings, embarrassing him in the court, and Li Tai is eager for Li Ke to use his handwriting to challenge Li Chengqian in the court, and use Li Min's mouth to question Li Chengqian in the court. As a result, Li Chengqian's reputation will plummet , and Li Ke was also dissatisfied by Li Shimin because of this, he and Li Tai could reap the benefits of the fisherman and take advantage of this battle for the crown prince.

"Present it." Li Min was on the main hall, in front of the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, took out Li Ke's handwriting, no matter whether Li Shimin was willing or not, he would not ignore it, so he waved his hand and said to Chang Tu who was waiting on the side.

Chang Tu Deling took Li Ke's handwriting from Li Yin's hand in full view and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the handwriting from Chang Tu again, and slowly opened it, this moment also touched the hearts of countless people in the court.

"Father Emperor Sheng Qi, my son Li Kegong wrote: I heard that since my son was assassinated in Luzhou, there have been rumors in Beijing, saying that my son's assassination may have been instigated by the prince, and the assassin was from the East Palace. Although my son is not in Chang'an, But I also feel that this statement is very absurd. It is really alienating my brothers from the Tian family. It is absolutely unbelievable. The prince has known each other since childhood, and they have been companions since childhood. The brotherhood is so strong, how can it be known by foreign ministers, how can it follow the story of Cao Wei. Go to the father and emperor to investigate this matter clearly, and clear up the wrongs of the prince, so as not to make the heavenly family estranged, and the prince loses his name."

Li Ke's handwriting is handsome and elegant, with a unique style, which is certainly pleasing to the eye, but the meaning in Li Ke's letter makes Li Shimin even more gratified.

The crown prince lost his morals, and Li Shimin was very disappointed when he said that he had no brother or brother. Fortunately, Li Ke finally understood the general situation. Not only did he not pursue Li Chengqian's guilt, he even wrote a special letter to clarify and plead for Li Chengqian, which can be regarded as preserving him. a face of

For a moment, Li Shimin suddenly thought of Li Ke in his mind, and also recalled the scene when he first came to the throne in the ninth year of Wude, when Li Ke generously surrendered to the Turks to protect Guanzhong, he couldn't help feeling a little more missing and distressed .

"Do you know what my son said in the letter?" Li Shimin raised Li Ke's handwriting in his hand and asked everyone in the hall.

Ever since Li Shimin read Li Ke's handwriting, Li Shimin's face was obviously a little more contemptuous. Everyone in the court was not a human being. Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, he had already guessed a little bit in his heart, but who would be the one at this time? Zhao went to figure out Li Shimin's intentions, so everyone kept silent.

After a while, Li Shimin saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "There is something in my son's letter. The assassination in Luzhou this time was not as the rumors said. This letter is my son's memorial to protect the crown prince. Brother The deep love is already on the paper."

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, there were already voices of discussion in the hall, some were surprised, some were relaxed, some were admired, and some were unwilling.

Perhaps the young prince Li Chengqian was somewhat lucky to have escaped the catastrophe, but the old fox Changsun Wuji's expression was already very ugly.

The crown prince and the King of Chu, compared with each other, stand out from each other, not only in the eyes of the officials, but also in the eyes of Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji knew very well that in today's situation, no matter what Li Ke did, it was impossible to move Li Chengqian's crown prince and replace him. However, Li Ke chose the most appropriate method to obtain the greatest benefit for himself. Invisibly belittled the prince again.

With this one move, Li Ke took advantage of all the advantages, and it was at this point that the battle for the reserve position finally changed positions.
