Chapter 331

In less than three days, the turmoil in Chang'an City has been settled.

The matter of Li Ke's outer town of Yangzhou was full of troubles, and the enfeoffment edict that followed touched the sensitive nerves of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Fortunately, Li Shimin was not an autocratic king. Under Li Ke's situation, After some mediation by the monarchs and ministers, the matter has come to an end, and Chang'an City seems to have regained its former calm, at least on the surface.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, at the end of the year, on the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Wei Zheng, who was ordered to patrol Huaibei and supervise the administration of officials, finally returned to Chang'an after more than a month.

And as early as the east tour, Wei Zheng knew about the affairs of Beijing, so he already had a draft in his chest. He had just returned to Chang'an, and before he entered the Wei Mansion, he entered the Taiji Palace with a memorial.

The matter of distributing the kings has been put on hold, so Wei Zheng's memorial is naturally not to persuade Li Shimin, but to impeach him, and the person he impeached is Yan Shigu, the Minister of Zhongshu.

The post of Zhongshu Ling in Zhongshu Province is temporarily vacant, so the person in charge of Zhongshu Sheng is Zhongshu Shilang.

There are two servants in Zhongshu, one is Yu Zhining who is also the prince Zuo Shuzi, and the other is Yan Shigu.

However, due to many incidents in the East Palace recently, Yu Zhining was ordered by Li Shimin to teach the crown prince in the East Palace more, and less to be a director of the Zhongshu Province, so most of the affairs of the Zhongshu Province were handed over to Yan Shigu.

This time, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict, and the edict passed the Zhongshu Province, and the Zhongshu Province may not affix the official seal of the Zhongshu Province, and has the right to deny it. It was indeed dereliction of duty that it did not block and refute it, but directly printed it and distributed it to the door.

This enfeoffment edict ordered Menxia Province to refute it, and even Li Shimin himself put the matter on hold. Zhongshu Province's inaction on this matter was naturally magnified invisibly, and Wei Zheng's letter of impeachment was not. No reason.

Ever since, an edict was handed down, Yan Shigu resigned from his position as Zhongshu's servant, and was transferred to the secretary and junior supervisor to revise ancient books according to the order, and Wen Yanbo, the imperial historian, was transferred to be the Zhongshu Ling, who was in charge of the secretary.

However, if there is a vacancy for Zhongshu Shilang, according to the usual practice, if Zhongshu Shilang is dismissed, one of the people in Zhongshushe needs to be promoted as Zhongshu Shilang.

Among the six members of Zhongshushe, Cen Wenwen has the most senior qualifications and the most famous literary name, even higher than Yan Shigu, and is highly respected by Li Shimin, so the position of assistant minister fell into Cen Wenwen's hands.

Chang'an City, Changxingfang Cen Mansion.

Cen Wenwen was born in a famous family of the southern clan, the Deng family in Xinye. In addition, he has outstanding literary talents and has made many friends in the court. few.

Cen's mansion was bustling with people for half a day, and when the sky was getting dark, Cen Wenwen was careful for most of the day, sent away the last group of colleagues who came to congratulate him, and finally took a rest.

But before Cen Wenwen sat down to rest for a while, someone came into the mansion with a congratulatory gift, but this time it was not an outsider, but Li Ke, Cen Wenwen's disciple, who was very familiar with Cen's mansion. , without waiting for the door to notify, he walked in by himself.

"Master Cen has been in the imperial court for eight years, and finally has to pay homage to Zaifu. Congratulations to all of you who are at the center!" Li Ke walked into the hall door, and the guard of the palace behind him took the congratulatory gift, and smiled at Cen Wenwen .

Cen Wenwen got up and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness actually made a special trip here for some trivial matters."

Li Ke handed the congratulatory gift to Cen Wenwen, and said to Cen Wenwen: "The disciple is late, so please don't blame Master Cen."

Cen Wenwen has always been cautious in his actions. Today, Cen Wenwen has returned all the congratulatory gifts sent by his colleagues in the DPRK and China without leaving a single piece of paper. However, Li Ke is a lover with deep feelings, which is different from others. Cen Wenwen smiled and said to himself Li Ke took the congratulatory gift from Li Ke in his hand, and placed it on the table beside him.

Cen Wenwen waved his hand, signaling the house slaves and the guards behind Li Ke to lead out, and then said to Li Ke: "Your Highness just happens to be here, if it is earlier, I am afraid that too many people will come to the house, and it will be easy to spread rumors. "

Li Ke and Cen Wenwen have the status of mentors and apprentices, and they have a close relationship.Zhongshuling Wen Yanbo and Li Ke were already on good terms, and in addition to his old age, although he was generally in good health, it might not be easy to do many provincial affairs by himself, and Yu Zhining was ordered to teach Donggong, so he had no time to take care of Zhongshu Sheng This time, Cen Wenwen's obeisance to the Zhongshu Minister is probably to exercise the power of the Zhongshu Province.

Zhongshu Sheng is the center of the imperial court, in charge of secrets and important affairs. He consulted and drafted documents in response to imperial edicts. Although the pen of governing affairs is weighty, it is also very sensitive. Cen Wenwen is all disadvantaged.

Li Ke nodded and said: "A centipede is dead but not stiff. What's more, there is still the prince of the eldest grandson's family behind him. The prince seems to be fading now, but his momentum is still there, and he will definitely not fall overnight. If a disciple goes too far, it will make the father jealous and cause troubles, which is not beautiful."

There are too many things happening in Chang'an today, and the rumors behind the change of ownership of the East Palace are even more raging. The center of the rumors is three people, the prince Li Chengqian, the king of Chu Li Ke, and the king of Wei Li Tai. If Li Ke moves too much at this time, it is inevitable that Li Shimin will be upset Joy.

Cen Wenwen said: "I was still worried that His Highness is young, not clear about the situation, afraid of being fascinated by the flowers in front of him, and acting like others will lose his sense of proportion, but now it seems that I am worrying too much."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked with a smile, "The person Master Cen is talking about is the fourth younger brother Wei Wang Li Tai?"

Cen Wenwen nodded and said: "That's right, since His Royal Highness was assassinated in Luzhou this year, the crown prince's reputation has plummeted, and the King of Wei made friends with foreign ministers in the court. , has already overwhelmed His Highness and the Crown Prince."

Li Ke said with a smile: "It's a good thing for the fourth brother to be in the limelight. As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. The fourth brother kills all directions. With the big tree blocking the fourth brother, my Chu Palace has a lot of life, which is considered beautiful." It's over."

Cen Wenwen asked: "Then I wonder what His Highness's plan is?"

Li Ke did not directly reply to Cen Wenwen's words, but said: "In my king's view, the battle for the reserve position is not too different from the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when all the heroes competed for the throne."

When Cen Wenwen heard the words, his face was slightly puzzled, and he asked, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Li Ke smiled, clenched his fists lightly, with a confident look on his face, and replied: "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly. This way you can win the world."

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, and Cen Wenwen was stunned. If the nine words "build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly" had come from Fang Xuanling's mouth, Cen Wenwen might not have found it so weird, but These words were uttered by Li Ke, who was only 15 years old, and it was enough to make Cen Wenwen stunned.

Competing in troubled times is nothing more than these nine words. Li Ke used these nine words to explain the truth completely. Is it possible that there are really people born with the emperor's destiny in this world?Li Ke's bloodline of the emperors of the two dynasties is by no means accidental.

Cen Wenwen sighed and said: "With your highness's words, I feel relieved. If your highness was born twenty years earlier, you should be able to compete with the emperor for the world, and you will not be defeated."
