bastard seizes tang

Chapter 329

From the words of the court meeting of the three provinces, and the pen of Gao Shilian, the inspector and servant, Menxia Province refuted Li Shimin's imperial decree to entrust the kings.And just after Menxia Province refuted Li Shimin's imperial decree, the news of Li Shimin's intention to entrust the enfeoffment quickly spread throughout the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty as if he had grown wings. Continuously drifting into the palace.

In Daming Palace, it snows heavily in midwinter.

It was already noon, and the auspicious snow was flying outside the house, which seemed to herald a good year in the coming year

Today, Li Shimin thought about it for several years, and issued the edict to entrust the kings. He was also in a good mood. After approving today's memorial, he entered the inner palace while there was still some light in the sky. The queen and her eldest daughter Li Lizhi were drinking and having fun.

"When the song is paired with jade wine, sit and drink the golden cup. The bamboo leaves are three clear, and the grapes are full of flavors. The wind moves the orchid air, and the moon gradually hangs the fragrance. Unique Liu Jiangruan, forgetting to send a feather cup."

After drinking half a jug of warm wine, Li Shimin felt relieved, seeing his wife and children in front of him, feeling relieved, he even held a wine bottle and sang poems.

"Father seems to be in a good mood today, I don't think he drank so much wine." Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, held a jug in one hand, watched Li Shimin drink one cup after another, and said with a smile.

Li Shimin said: "It's rare to have half a day of leisure today, and Wei Xuancheng is not in the capital, so the ears are clean, so I should drink two more glasses, and I will pour another cup of Changle for my father."

Li Lizhi saw that Li Shimin's face was reddish, and he seemed a little drunk from drinking, so he said: "Father may have government affairs at night, drink too much, it's not good to be drunk, let's drink less."

Li Shimin waved his hands when he heard the words of his beloved daughter, and said with a smile: "What did Changle say? In terms of drinking capacity, being a father may not be as big as Hutou's, but he is also from the army. How can you get drunk with just half a pot of wine?" Now, fill it up for my father."

Hearing this, Li Lizhi looked at Empress Changsun and saw Empress Changsun nodding. Then she poured another glass for Li Shimin and said to Li Shimin, "This is the last glass of wine. Daddy, if you finish this glass of wine, you can drink it." It's time to rest, so as not to delay the business."

Li Shimin is not a person who is addicted to alcohol, he also understands Li Lizhi's meaning, and smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you little girl doesn't know the joy here, and I'm afraid I don't know if I say it. You should stay in the Palace of Ganlu, and order your brothers to come to the palace to drink, but you will be happy."

Although it is already afternoon, it is still snowing heavily and the north wind is blowing. If Li Shimin did not love his beloved son and was afraid that his beloved son would catch the wind and cold on the way to the palace, he would really have wanted to announce Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai into the palace. Drinking.

Li Li said: "If my father is drinking in Ganlu Palace, Changle won't see him, and I can't care about it, but in front of Changle, I need to drink less wine."

Li Lizhi is the eldest daughter of Li Shimin. Her temperament is quite similar to that of the eldest grandson empress. It's the last drink."

As Li Shimin said, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then put it down.

Li Shimin's drinking was exhausted, so he was a little bit drunk, and prepared to go back to the Ganlu Hall to review the memorials that the governors of the Guanzhong prefectures handed over to Beijing in the afternoon.

But when he just got up, a servant came in with the edict he issued at noon.

"Your Majesty, the edict from the door has been returned." The servant entered and said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to the matter of enfeoffment, so he issued an order, no matter whether it is approved or not, once the subordinate province returns his edict, he will report it immediately.

Li Shimin raised his head, looked at the servant's appearance, and at the edict in the servant's hand that was supposed to appear in Shangshu Province, he didn't know what happened.

Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice: "But the door was closed?"

"Exactly." The waiter said, and handed the edict into Li Shimin's hands.

"Gao Shilian is so courageous. Wei Zheng is not in the sect, but he has learned Wei Zheng's temper, and dares to deny my edict." Li Shimin looked at the edict returned by the sect, and was furious, and he held the edict heavily in his hand. He fell to the ground and said angrily.

"What happened, why is Your Majesty so angry?" In the past, Li Shimin's edicts were also denied when they were sent to the sect, and it was not the first time. Picking up the imperial edict that Li Shimin threw on the ground, he asked.

Empress Changsun picked up the edict and looked at it, and was shocked by what it contained. Li Shimin's edict was actually an edict of enfeoffment.

Empress Changsun has always known that Li Shimin had the idea of ​​enfeoffment, but she couldn't implement it because of the resistance of hundreds of officials in the court, but she didn't expect that Li Shimin would directly issue an edict based on the incident of Li Ke's outer town.

Looking at the imperial edict in her hand, Empress Changsun couldn't help feeling regret and fear.

The so-called remorse, it is not easy for Li Ke to take Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince, but in order to protect everything, she rewarded Li Ke for her meritorious service and lived in Yangzhou, which almost caused a big mistake;
The so-called fear of the future, fortunately, the subordinates of the family refuted Li Shimin's memorandum, otherwise, once the imperial edict was released, it would be inevitable to repeat the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, and she should be criticized in the history.

However, Empress Changsun's heart was never relaxed because of the refutation of Li Shimin's imperial edict by her subordinates, because looking at Li Shimin's appearance, it seemed that the intention of entrustment had not been given up.

If it was in the past, she could still go forward to persuade Li Shimin and persuade him to put aside the idea of ​​enfeoffment, but this time Li Ke was entrusted to Yangzhou, which was the first thing she discussed, so how could she come to persuade Li Shimin again.

For a while, Empress Changsun also became embarrassed and fell into a passive state.

However, making Empress Changsun passive is far from that. When Empress Changsun was in a dilemma and didn't know how to speak, Chang Tu, who was waiting in the outer hall, came in again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a message from the forbidden army outside the Xianchun Gate that the King of Chu is now offering the Chunmen Gate to ask for an audience." Chang Tu entered and reported to Li Shimin.

Right now Li Shimin was in a fit of anger, when he heard Li Ke begging for an audience outside the Xianchun Gate, he frowned and asked, "He's not a foreign minister, what is he doing at the Xianchun Gate?"

The Xianchun Gate faces the northeast of the Ganlu Hall. Passing through the Xianchun Gate is regarded as entering the inner palace. Foreign officials are naturally not allowed to enter, but Li Ke is the prince, so how can the imperial guards guarding the palace gate stop him.

But since Li Ke was waiting outside, he also had his reasons, Chang Tu said: "The King of Chu is afraid to face the saint."

Li Shimin asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Chang Tu replied truthfully: "The king of Chu thought that the enfeoffment system was not good for the country, so he came here to withdraw the entitlement from His Majesty."

Originally, Li Shimin was angry, but when he heard Chang Tu's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became more and more ugly.

"Nizi, does he also want to piss me off with these foreign ministers?" Li Shimin slapped the table and said angrily.

Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, Changle, who was walking very close to Li Ke, was afraid that Li Shimin would anger Li Ke, so he hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, daddy. The third brother always respects daddy the most. How could you provoke daddy to get angry on purpose? The third brother probably just It's just about the situation of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin himself knows better than anyone what Li Ke thinks of Li Shimin. If others say that Li Ke is deliberately against him, Li Shimin himself will never believe it. What he just said was just a moment of anger.

It's just that Li Ke is different from others, the system of enfeoffment entrusts princes like Li Ke, Li Shimin paused, and said: "It is said that the King of Chu and the ministers of the third rank and above of the Manchu Dynasty came to see me in the Palace of Manna."
