Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 340: In the th year of Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling retired

Li Ke sat behind Li Chengqian.

Li Tai sat behind him, and after Li Tai were princes such as Li You.

These princes were not in the court procession. Their seats were next to Li Chengqian, extending backwards in a trapezoidal shape, with each one moving a little further back to highlight the seat of the person in front.

At the end of them were the princesses of the Tang Dynasty, who were in attendance.

No need to speak or do anything.

Sitting in the Taiji Hall during grand court meetings was a clear sign of his attitude.

We don't say anything, but we represent the group of princesses.

We are listening to whatever you say or talk about.

Think carefully about it, and don't speak without thinking.

This was the special treatment given to the princesses by Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian had no objection to it.

He was not trying to improve the status of women. The status of women in the Tang Dynasty was already high.

There is no need for him to improve.

The women of the Tang Dynasty were just like the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, they dared to express their anger and speak out.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that the value of women and scholars dropped sharply.

The officials in the court could only turn a blind eye to this. What else could they do?
It’s all started.

Who dares to say that it is inappropriate for princesses to attend the grand court meetings?

Look, among the group of ministers, there is Princess Changle, who is a third-rank official and in charge of the Tang Empire Bank. Will she let you know what the iron fist from the princesses is?

Listening to the officials in the court arguing about the affairs of the court.

The princesses also discussed in low voices.

They are all acting like arrogant people outside.

In the court, they argued fiercely for money.

"You said Li Zhi, why are you fighting so fiercely?"

"What does the bank need to calculate? Just take the money yourself."

"You don't understand this. If there is a temple calculation, it is allowed by the court. If there is no temple calculation, and you spend the bank's money yourself, it is against the law."

"Should we help Li Zhi?"

"No, Li Zhi will call us when she needs us."

"Eat melon, eat melon, who of you brought melon seeds?"

"No, I just finished eating, and I'm really excited about it."

Li Ke and others couldn't help but turn around and look at their aunts and sisters on the left side of the Danbi.

Each tactical officer looked up, greatly shocked.

Are you, the princess, asked to attend the grand court meeting just to sit back and watch the show?

Many provincial governors are not qualified to enter the palace for such an opportunity.

Li Chengqian was also alarmed. Like Li Ke and the others, he looked up tactically.

Then the princesses stopped talking, sat upright, looked extremely serious, and glared back.

What to look at.

I've never seen a woman before.

"Forehead……!"

A group of princes withdrew their gazes awkwardly.

This person is either my biological aunt or my biological sister.

When he came at them with his fangs and claws bared, not only them, but even the crown prince and his father could not withstand it.

"All right."

"The temple calculation is settled."

Li Shimin made the decision and asked all the ministers to shut up.

After arguing for so long, no one got the results that exceeded their expectations.

But it is also within the acceptable expected range.

Some are even better than that.

"Prince, what do you have to say?"

Li Shimin asked.

Everyone paid close attention to what the prince was going to say.

"No."

Li Chengqian shook his head.

"Well."

Li Shimin said: "Duke Zhao, please continue."

"Yes!"

Before this, when there was a debate on temple calculations, Li Shimin invited all the ministers to have dinner in the Taiji Hall again.

Everyone was full, so we continued with the next section.

Changsun Wuji began to announce the plans from the 25th year of Zhenguan to the 30th year of Zhenguan.

On the basis of the twenty-one plans, eighteen new plans were added.

There are thirty-nine plans in total.

They are all closely related to all aspects of Datang and are the focus of future work.

Until the beginning of the afternoon, when the 'moment' strikes.

This grand court meeting at the end of the year finally came to an end.

The ministers sat in the Taiji Hall for almost a whole day.

When I got up early, it was still dark, and when I left the court, it was already getting dark.

Apart from going to the toilet, the only time I have a short break is when I eat.

However, although the ministers looked a little tired, they were still in good spirits.

Sitting at the center of power, in the Taiji Hall, which represents the highest authority in the entire Tang Dynasty, he participates in major decision-making and planning.

The nourishment brought by power can sweep away any fatigue.

If one cannot endure such long court meetings, he is neither qualified nor talented to sit in a high position.

……

"Aye!"

Li Jue stood aside, watching eagerly.

Li Chengqian opened his arms wide and the Crown Princess undressed him personally.

"what happened?"

"Why hasn't Big Brother come back yet?"

Li Jue said: "After this grand court meeting, the New Year will come soon."

"If Big Brother doesn't come back, we won't be able to make it to the palace for New Year's Eve."

This kid Li Xiang was sent to Guangzhou.

We should be on our way back now.

The Crown Princess glared at him and said, "Your father just came back from court and hasn't even had a sip of hot porridge yet, and you're bothering him with these things?"

"No priorities."

"Go find your uncle."

Fang Yiai stood aside, listening respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, and the Emperor's grandson."

"Just received news that the emperor's grandson will arrive tomorrow morning."

Li Jue said happily: "That's good, I will go pick you up in person tomorrow."

Li Chengqian shook his head and laughed, he was very happy that Li Jue remembered his elder brother.

The relationships of my generation were gradually handled well after the 14th year of Zhenguan, when I took on the attitude of an elder brother.

He absolutely did not want to see Li Jue in discord with other peers.

……

The influence of the grand court meeting was far-reaching and determined the direction of the Tang Dynasty in the next few years.

This concerns all the people of the Tang Dynasty, and almost no one will not be affected.

It's just that ordinary people are doing what they should do and can't take the initiative at all. But those who have some energy are thinking about the future.

The Tang Empire Newspaper published the contents of the grand court meeting.

Chang'an is very lively. I don't know if I can seize the opportunity, but after hearing about it, I have something to talk about.

As a native of Chang'an, if I don't even have this little thing to talk about, what is there for me to show off when I leave Chang'an or act superior to others?
Li Jue, Di Renjie, Li Yuanying and others sat in the pavilion.

Plainclothes guards stood nearby.

"Brother doesn't write to me and doesn't care about me at all."

"You'll be welcome when you see him later."

"Uncle grabs his hands, Di Renjie grabs his neck, I'll do it..."

Li Jue was eager to try.

Di Renjie's forehead throbbed when he heard this. You were studying hard, but I pulled you out just to be your thug?
Li Yuanying was very excited. He had always been resentful that his nephew Li Xiang did not give him face.

"My dear grandson, don't worry, uncle will definitely help you."

"That's good."

Li Jue nodded and said, "But uncle, could you please not call me like that?"

"Okay grandson."

"Call me Jiro."

"No problem grandson!"

Li Jue: “…”

He was mad and attacked Li Yuanying first.

If he doesn't listen, don't blame him for using violence.

During the fight, Di Renjie saw Li Xiang's team.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

"Okay, get ready and follow the plan."

Li Jue temporarily let Li Yuanying go and shouted excitedly.

Soon, the two brothers met.

It's just a little different from what expected.

An unexpected person appeared next to Li Xiang.

"Miss Wang!"

Li Jue shouted angrily, "The plan has changed, the target is Miss Wang!"

"Who is Miss Wang?" Li Yuanying was a little confused.

Di Renjie's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's Wang Xiaojie, but Your Highness doesn't get along with Wang Xiaojie, so you call him Miss."

"Oh."

Li Yuanying suddenly realized, "What are we waiting for? Go ahead!"

Wang Xiaojie had a dazed look on his face as two people pounced on him like wolves and tigers. An old acquaintance was reluctant but had a sympathetic look on his face.

"Ms. Wang, prepare to die!"

Li Jue shouted.

"Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding..."

After Wang Xiaojie knew Li Jue's identity, he dared not take action and hurriedly shouted, "Listen to my excuses, no, listen to my explanation."

"Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard is chanting sutras."

Wang Xiaojie was quickly captured, but this kid Li Jue liked to attack from the lower three directions.

Even a clay man would get angry, let alone a little bird being attacked.

"what!"

Resistance is useless, how can we win?

Wang Xiaojie lay on the ground with no desire to live, and said, "Xiang Huangsun, you are harming people."

Li Xiang said awkwardly: "I really can't help it. I can't stop it."

"Are you convinced, Miss Wang?" Li Jue clapped his hands and said with some pride.

"Dissatisfied!"

Wang Xiaojie also got angry.

"Haha, I just like you to be unyielding. Now that you are in my hands, you will suffer."

Li Jue raised his head and laughed, "After so many years, you are still so vulnerable."

"Stop lying there, get up."

"I'll take you to the East Palace for dinner and let my Aye meet you."

Am I vulnerable?

It would have been fine if you only had one Di Renjie before, but now you have two.

There is also a spectator who can enter the scene at any time to act as a referee.

How did I win?
"Brother, Miss Wang is suffering for you, why don't you write to me?"

The two brothers held each other and walked towards Chang'an City.

Wang Xiaojie turned over and sat up, brushing off the dust on his body. Di Renjie reached out and helped him up.

"Your Highness is joking."

"I know."

How could Wang Xiaojie not know this? If the emperor's grandson really had ill intentions towards him, he would not just beat him up, but would have someone to help him.

He also needs to be brought to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It's to support him.

Can everyone see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

"It's just that His Highness is still as fond of martial arts as he was back then."

Di Renjie smiled slightly, "Your Highness the Imperial Grandson knows etiquette, but he also knows martial arts!"

……

New Year's Eve.

The Taiji Palace is very lively.

Li Shimin finally became a player in the game, not an outsider.

Serving beside him was Concubine Wu Lifei.

Li Chengqian and the others could see that Concubine Wu Li was pregnant again.

Before this, Concubine Wu Li had already given birth to two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Now there is one again.

How much did Li Shimin love Concubine Wu Li?

Fireworks exploded in the sky above Chang'an City, it was another fireworks feast.

As the fireworks end, the new year arrives.

The twenty-fifth year of Zhenguan.

Here it comes.

At the beginning of the year, Fang Xuanling wrote a letter to retire, Li Chengqian agreed, and Li Shimin granted it.

After all, this is the third time, and the proper respect between the monarch and his subjects has been shown.

It's about the same time.

Following Fang Xuanling, many court ministers of the third rank and below retired in the first month of the year, either because of old age or because of illness.

There was not much hesitation about this.

The two palaces agreed the first time they submitted the petition.

This group of people are all high-ranking officials involved in the Qizhou case last year.

Lu Chengqing, Cui Renshi and others are included.

It has been dragged on until now so that everyone can save face. If anyone is rude and still refuses to leave...

Then don’t blame the two palaces for being merciless and letting the Censorate take him down and bring him to justice.

For a time, several high-ranking positions in the court became vacant.

Many people stared at it with envy.
