Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 527
As the night gradually darkened, Li You left Li Zhi's house, and a while after Li You left, Li Mingda bouncingly brought Li Heng, Li Xiang, and Li Jue to Li Zhi's house.

"Brother Nine!"

"Uncle Nine!"

Li Mingda shouted to Li Zhi with three people.

"Why are you here?" At this time, Li Zhi was obviously in a bad mood. Li Mingda was familiar with Li Zhi, and he could tell at a glance that Li Zhi was in a bad mood, so Li Mingda gave the three little guys to him. Let the three little guys go upstairs first, and then they saw Li Zhi's side and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing?" Li Zhi walked to the side and sat down.

"Nothing?" Li Mingda looked at Li Zhi in disbelief and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, don't lie in front of me. I don't know if you have anything to do. Looking at you like this, you look like a Injured little quail, do you still take it to heart when fourth brother threatened you last time?"

Li Zhi shook his head.

This made Li Mingda a little confused about the situation: "Then what else do you have to do? Oh, tell me quickly, if you don't say anything else, I will ignore you."

Li Mingda grew up, as long as he said to ignore Li Zhi, Li Zhi would immediately surrender, tried everything, and this time it was the same. When Li Mingda said to ignore him, Li Zhi also showed a panicked expression : "Don't ignore me, I said, can't I say it?"

Afterwards, Li Zhi told Li Mingda all about what Li You, Changsun Wuji, and the three of them had said together just now. Qi is also slightly released.

"How could this be...?" Li Mingda frowned. In fact, Li Mingda's thoughts are very meticulous, even Li Zhi can't match them. It's just that during the recent period, Li Mingda doesn't need to be thoughtful, as long as he is happy. Play on it.

But this does not mean that Li Mingda's meticulous thoughts disappeared. After listening to Li Zhi's narration, Li Mingda understood the current situation a little bit.

"Ninth brother, do you think you can be a good prince?" This is a question from the heart.

However, this question stumped Li Zhi, yes, can he be a good prince?

Li Zhi slowly fell into deep thought.

"Drink toast!"

This is Pingkangfang, the largest romantic place in Chang'an. At this time, in Pingkangfang, a grand reception is being held in a spacious small building. Don't think that there is no such thing as ancient times. In fact, ancient receptions don't have to be weak in modern times. .

The ancients needed to light candles or oil lamps for a reception, and then put the light source in front of the bronze mirror to make the fire brighter.After the room was lit up, the wine and cooked meat were served on the table, dancing and dancing, playing music, dancing swords, singing and dancing.

The reception held here at this time is hosted by Wei Wang Li Tai, because just today, Li Tai made a big promise, and I think everyone should know what the promise is.

To say that Li Tai is quite powerful, there are a group of people around him who are also quite intelligent.

At the beginning, Li Tai saw his hope of competing for the throne, and he wanted to seek the position of prince.

Li Tai is a very scheming child. He saw Li Shimin's characteristic of liking culture, so he recruited a large number of literati and inkmen to fill his own literature museum, started the cultural industry with great fanfare, and compiled a book "Kuo Di Zhi". After four years , finally completed a book, a total of 550 volumes.

After "Kuo Di Zhi" was completed, Li Tai organized a grand ceremony, and made a grand book dedication ceremony. The "Kuo Di Zhi" exuding the fragrance of ink was pulled into the palace in a BMW incense car, and the gongs and drums were all the way. Ming, firecrackers exploded, very lively.

Li Shimin was also very happy. He met all the editorial staff in the Hongwen Museum, praised Li Tai well, and issued an edict to store "Kuo Di Zhi" in the secret cabinet, and rewarded thousands of pieces of silk and silk.

From then on, Li Tai became famous and became the center of public opinion for a while, surpassing the Prince of the East Palace in the spotlight, and the monthly expenditure of the Palace was much higher than that of the East Palace.Tang Taizong also bestowed a gift: Li Tai will give permission to all who speak, especially full financial support.

Li Tai was very fat and had trouble walking, so Li Shimin allowed him to enter the palace in a sedan chair.

Li Tai happily started his job search process.He first asked to move into the Wude Palace, and Li Shimin also approved it.He thought that dangling in front of Li Shimin all day long would deepen the impression of the leader and be conducive to further promotion.However, the ministers soon came up with advice, and Li Shimin asked him to move out again.At this time, Li Tai was a little discouraged.

Later, Li Shimin also said that he would never replace the prince. Li Tai was really sad for a while, but the surprise came so casually. Soon, Li Chengqian, a fool, rebelled directly and committed suicide afterward. Yes, this is simply the biggest fool in the world.

However, it's good to be stupid, at least, Li Tai has great hope for the crown prince position.

Soon, the think tanks around Li Tai, also known as the second generation of officials, such as Fang Yiai, the son of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Du Chuke, Du Huiru's younger brother, Chai Lingwu, the son-in-law, and so on, all pointed their fingers at him for analysis. Speaking of his favorable conditions for being promoted to the crown prince, he believed that among the emperor's three sons-in-law, Li Chengqian was dead, and Jin Wang Li Zhi was a cowardly man, and it was difficult for him to get into the emperor's eyes.

Only His Highness is the most superior, smart and capable, and his subordinates are like a cloud. He is undoubtedly the best candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's heart, and it is logical to enter the East Palace.

Li Tai thought about it, very proud, and promised these subordinates: In the future, I will become a big position, everyone will be a hero, I will never treat you badly, and will definitely use it again.But how to get the crown prince?
Everyone offered many good strategies to Li Tai.Li Tai implemented them one by one, regardless of his own body fat, he worked tirelessly, went to the palace every day to serve his father, he was very attentive, and kept using nasty words to win his father's favor.

Today, he specially called hot water to wash Li Shimin's feet, which moved the old man very much, because Li Tai was fat, and he was panting after squatting down, but he still washed Li Shimin's feet panting.

Finally Li Shimin was moved by Li Tai, and he promised verbally: "My good boy, if your elder brother is not up to date, I will depend on you from now on, and build a good relationship with the minister. After these four months, I will issue an imperial edict to make you the crown prince."

After hearing this, Li Tai was in ecstasy. He knelt down and said, "Father, you gave birth to me and raised me. Without you, there would be no me."I washed my father's feet just to express my gratitude, not for anything else.

The two are loving fathers and filial sons, and Li Shimin was also moved by Li Tai's sincerity, so the two almost hugged each other and cried.

But Li Shimin didn't expect that after Li Tai left the palace, he would immediately reveal his true colors. At that time, there was nothing wrong with Li Tai, and his chubby face was full of ecstasy. color, muttering non-stop: I'm going to be the prince, I'm going to be the prince.

At night, Li Tai immediately brought his buddies to Pingkangfang to celebrate, and Qiqi became ecstatic when he learned that Li Tai had obtained the verbal promise of Li Shimin's buddies.

After all, as long as Li Tai becomes the prince and later becomes the emperor, they will have the merits of being a dragon. They will be rich, powerful, and powerful. A group of people will play wantonly in Pingkangfang until the early morning of the next day. , Then Kan Kan fell asleep.

But the sweet Li Tai in his sleep would never have imagined that just today, Li Zhi would make his mark, and he would be severely compared to Li Tai.

Waking up early in the morning, Li Zhi was dragged up by Li You before he woke up, and then Li You handed a potato to Li Zhi's hand and said, "Young slave, today it is your achievement, no matter who If you ask, you have to tell the other party that this was taught to you in a dream by a Taoist riding a green bull!"

"Huh?" Li Zhi rubbed his small eyes, and looked at Li You in a daze.

The Taoist man riding the green bull is Lao Tzu, a figure in the Spring and Autumn Period and the founder of the Taoist school.Lao Tzu wrote books all his life, which has far-reaching influence on later generations, and all dynasties have respected him greatly.

The Li family in the Tang Dynasty took Li Er as their ancestor and honored him as emperor.

Of course, no one knows whether it is true or not. In fact, the Li Tang regime is the representative of the military aristocratic "Guanlong Group".In Tang Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, the emperor of Tang Dynasty still insisted that he was the "Longxi Li family" in order to win the support of "Guanlong Group".Taking "Lao Tzu" Li Erzhui as his ancestor is also for the sake of his unorthodox Li surname, climbing to orthodoxy, and getting closer to the "Guanlong Group".

In the third year of Wude (620), Li Yuan named Lao Tzu as the ancestor, and built palaces and palaces in Lao Tzu's hometown. Slowly, the Li family themselves believed it. Li You asked Li Zhi to stand out as a Taoist riding a green bull. Let others know that this person is Li Er as soon as they hear it, and secondly, it is to show that Li Zhi is favored by Li Er because of his blood.

Potatoes yield thousands of catties per mu. As long as this news is brought to the palace and spread to the world, then Li Zhi, who has been transformed into a god by Yuxian, will usher in a different statement.

"Boom. Boom.!"

Today is not the day for the court meeting. In the early days of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had to go to court every day, but in the later period, this daily court has been changed, and it has become a small court for three days and a big court for seven days.

After all, human energy is limited.

So today is not the time to go to court, but is there any special method that can make today's not the time to go to court become the time to go to court for all the monarchs and ministers?
There is really another method, and that is to beat the Dengwen drum.

When the Dengwen Drum is beaten, Li Shimin will definitely issue an order to go to court to see what happened. Of course, if ordinary people beat the Dengwen Drum, the consequences will be very serious, even if your grievances are proved to be true in the end, You will also be imprisoned for three years and punished with a hundred rods.

If there were no constraints like this, there would still be people knocking on the drum every day. However, the person who knocked on the Dengwen drum today should not be punished by Li Shimin, because this person is Sikong of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope you will live a long life and share the beautiful beauty of thousands of miles!
