Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 603 Li Zhi Promoted to Crown Prince

"I want to see my father, I want to see my father, you slaves, why don't you let me see my father, when I see my father, and explain things clearly to my father, you slaves will all die. Not one will be left.!"

Li Tai patted the gate of his yard, his chubby body was leaning against the gate, tears streaming down his face uninterruptedly, who has ever seen the miserable King Wei at this time, but, winner and loser, you fail , then you are a loser.

If Li Tai fails, he will lose all his glory. Some people say that Li Tai has been operating in Chang'an for so many years. Could it be that Li Shimin solved it so easily? Seriously, there is no need to think about this problem.

Li Shimin's control over Datang, and Datang's support for Li Shimin at this time, don't say you are a prince, you are an emperor's younger brother, don't think that you are a time traveler, you can do whatever you want, don't be underestimated Looking at the ancients, their wisdom cannot be underestimated.

We all know about Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change, but you think you won the battle, you really won. On the surface, Li Shimin has succeeded, but the actual political situation is not as simple as imagined. There are a lot of people waiting for Li Shimin. If the crisis factors and the aftermath work are not handled properly, it is very likely that they will face a very embarrassing situation.

Li Shimin's wisdom allowed Li Shimin to properly handle these matters.

We know that after the Xuanwumen Incident, although Li Yuan issued an edict and tried his best to justify Li Shimin's name, Li Shimin still felt very sad and guilty about the act of killing brothers and brothers.

Li Shimin is very clear that no matter how good his political performance was at that time, he will always have this stain on his morality.So in the days that followed, Li Shimin made a series of compensation actions in order to consolidate politics.

First of all, not long after he succeeded to the throne, he began to issue imperial edicts. Not only did Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji become Xiyin Kings and Hailing Assassins respectively, but he also ordered them to be reburied with royal funeral ceremonies, and arranged for them to be buried in the East Palace and many related staff.

Then, Li Shimin adopted his thirteenth prince Li Fu to Li Jiancheng as his blood.The most important thing is that on the day of the funeral, Li Shimin cried bitterly at Yiqiu Gate, expressing his grief for the loss of his brothers and sisters to the world, which laid the foundation for him to maintain the regime later.

Li Shimin's handling of the series of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji enabled him to resolve the conflict between him and the prince group after he succeeded to the throne.

After the death of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, it is not over after dealing with their funeral affairs, because there are still some remnants of the Prince Group who are fleeing, such as Lujiang King, Yanjun Wang Luoyi and others.

They all have heavy soldiers. If these forces are not contained, they will surely form a huge force in the future. Therefore, many people also advised Li Shimin to kill them in the cradle as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles forever.

But at this time, Li Shimin did not listen to others, but turned to a form of tolerance and generosity, trying to solve the problem with probation instead of violence.

He ordered that indiscriminate killings and arrests were strictly prohibited, and he adopted the policy of probation, and he clearly pointed out that the incident between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji would not be blamed on the remnants of the party related to it, which made many remnants of the party be influenced by him one after another.

Even Feng Li, the prince's henchman who was loyal to Li Jiancheng before, was influenced by Li Shimin and directly asked Li Shimin for questioning.

Of course, apart from Feng Li, Xue Wanche was also influenced by Li Shimin's tolerance. He was moved by Li Shimin's sincerity, so he resolutely decided to follow Li Shimin forever.

It has to be said that Li Shimin's tolerant and generous policy not only appease the Prince's remnant party well, but also gained him a certain amount of support.

More importantly, Li Shimin not only pardoned the criminal evidence of the prince's remaining party members, but also continued to keep them by his side, gave them high hopes, and never regarded them as sinners, especially Feng Li, Xue Wanche and Wei Zheng.

So these people were very sincere to Li Shimin later, and removed many obstacles for Li Shimin.Li Shimin's approach greatly reduced the crisis of party and government rebellion, and stabilized the political situation at that time to a certain extent.

There should be no slight difference in the things Li Shimin did above, as long as there is a slight deviation, there will be huge hidden dangers, but Li Shimin has done it, which shows how meticulous Li Shimin's mind is, no one would want to be with such Li You is just an ordinary person who has traveled through time. Indeed, he knows some knowledge unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty.

But if you want to fight Li Shimin based on these, it would be too naive, so Li You can only do it now, he wants to become an excellent actor, he wants Li Shimin not to regard himself as an imaginary enemy, and he wants to tell Li Shimin that he is called by Li Shimin. A filial son who comes and goes.

"His Majesty.!"

At night, the Ganlu Hall was brightly lit. Xu Hui and Concubine Yin were sitting in the Hall of Ganlu and talking to Li Shimin. This time I took Xu Hui and Li Mingda to watch a lot of young men, but Concubine Yin also knew that Li Mingda didn't like those young men.

Concubine Yin told Li Shimin together with Xu Hui the bad things Li Mingda said about those young men, which made Li Shimin laugh out loud. Li Mingda's little mouth is very poisonous. like a monkey.

He also said that a fat and aristocratic child had eaten up all the delicious food at home.

These funny rants made Li Shimin laugh out loud, and the afternoon passed quickly. Li Shimin also liked Concubine Yin's attitude towards Xu Hui. Concubine Yin always took Xu Hui with her, which made Li Shimin, who loves Xu Hui, worried At least, with Concubine Yin's care, at least Xu Hui won't be bullied in the palace.

Suddenly, a person walked into the hall, none other than Zhang Jing.

Seeing Zhang Jing approaching, Xu Hui and Concubine Yin immediately stood up, bowed and left. Both of them are concubines who know the general situation, so sometimes Li Shimin doesn't need to make a sound.

After Zhang Jing bowed to Xu Hui and Concubine Yin, he watched them leave. Right after they left, Li Shimin asked with some heartache: "Is everything settled?"

Zhang Jing quickly replied: "It's been done, His Royal Highness King Wei has been imprisoned in King Wei's Mansion."

"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded: "Those confidantes of the King of Wei have been dealt with, and the assassins invited by the King of Wei cannot be kept. I don't want to see them."

"Yes!" Zhang Jing nodded.

But Li Shimin didn't know that Zhang Jing was no longer such a pure Zhang Jing. In fact, Zhang Jing knew that the assassin named Yu Changchang was taken away by Li You's people, but Zhang Jing didn't say anything, but The choice directly shields the past.

One is because Zhang Jing thinks the matter is not that big, and he needs to sell Li You's face. After all, Li You is his brother-in-law. The second is that Zhang Jing's heart has gradually become crooked. Such a distortion made Zhang Jing unhappy. As for a road to black.

This is a good thing, at least for Zhang Jing and Li You.

Very easily, Li Zhi's biggest opponent was removed, and the remaining thing was to make Li Zhi the crown prince, just before Li Zhi was to be made the crown prince by Li Shimin.

Li You recruited Li Zhi, the younger brother, to his home, followed by the two of them alone in the room and talked for more than two hours. No one knew about these words. Even Li Mingda couldn't get close.

With these words, Li You told Li Zhi what he would do if one day Li Shimin wanted to make him the prince.

After a few days like this, after the daily morning court, Li Shimin dismissed all the courtiers, and called Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Chu Suiliang, Jin Wang Li Zhi and others to his front.

Li Shimin spoke first: "My officials, many things have happened recently. What my three sons and a younger brother have done, I am really depressed!"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he slammed his head against the head of the bed. Changsun Wuji had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately hugged Li Shimin tightly.Li Shimin then took out the saber he was carrying with him, intending to commit suicide, Chu Suiliang quickly took the saber and handed it to Jin Wang Li Zhi for safekeeping.

In the harem, the monarch and his subjects were in a mess.Changsun Wuji and the others were completely taken aback. Is this still the decisive, majestic emperor? How could he have such a son-daughter attitude?

At this time, Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, if you have any troubles, you can tell them. I am willing to share your worries and solve your problems. Why do you go to such extremes?"

Li Shimin sighed at this time and said slightly: "I want to make King Jin the crown prince."

"Ah!" Changsun Wuji was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully obey the decree. If there are any objections, I request that you behead them for public display!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi who was on the side and said: "Young slave, your uncle promised you to be the prince, why don't you hurry up and thank him!"

After Jin Wang Li Zhi listened to it, he quickly knelt down in front of everyone present. This is the method Li You taught Li Zhi to kneel down without saying or doing anything.

Seeing his son, Li Shimin nodded and asked, "You and I have the same opinion. I don't know what the outside courts are talking about?"

The others didn't speak, and followed Changsun Wuji and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin is generous and filial to His Majesty. The people of the world have admired him for a long time. I hope His Majesty can call all civil and military officials to come and ask. If there is any disagreement, That is, the ministers are guilty of your majesty, and deserve death!"

In this way, Changsun Wuji's words directly blocked the words of other people. You said, what other people said, you can only hold your nose and acquiesce.

It is undeniable that this is a political game carefully prepared by Li Shimin.

There is no way. Li Shimin decided to make Li Zhi the prince, so he had to ask Changsun Wuji to take the lead in making a promise that everyone would be willing to escort him.If there are other support disputes, Li Shimin may not be able to bear it.

History has proved that the highest level of political compromise is always among the minority.

After the monarchs and ministers reached an agreement, Li Shimin went to the Tai Chi Hall in person and summoned civil and military ministers of the sixth rank or higher: "My dear friends, Li Chengqian is a rebellious person, Wei Wang Li Tai has sinister intentions, and they are not qualified to be princes. I want to choose an heir from among the princes. Who can be the crown prince? You need to speak to your face.”

Without hesitation, everyone said loudly, as if they had already communicated with each other in advance, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang is benevolent, righteous and filial, and should be the prince!"

Then the next day, Li Shimin issued an edict: make Jin Wang Li Zhi the crown prince.
