Chapter 2 The new master of the East Palace

Chengqing Hall

"Your Majesty, it's time to move out. You have given up the throne, so what's missing is this palace." Pei Ji said to Li Yuan.

"Xuanzhen, are you going to speak for him today?" Li Yuan drank the wine in his hand, swayed it and walked towards Pei Ji.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ascended the throne now. Let bygones be bygones. After the completion of the palace, they have all been given additional titles. Two emperors in this palace are not good for the country. What do you think of Da'an Palace?"

"Alas, I have failed. I originally wanted to live here for a few years. That's all. I will move out of Taiji Palace tomorrow and move to Da'an Palace. I will watch him there, watching their father and son being suspicious and brothers killing each other.

Who made him start this terrible thing, hahaha..."

According to common sense, Li Yuan should have moved to Da'an Palace a long time ago. The ministers all thought that because of the completion of the palace and Yuan Ji's death, Li Yuan deliberately embarrassed his son.

Actually no, he knew the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power. From the time he started to support Jiancheng and Yuanji, he was ready to sacrifice one side. This time the Xuanwumen incident did not make Li Yuan really give up.

He is waiting, just like he was waiting for Yang Guang to perish step by step in Jinyang. Secretly, his forces are actively contacting the aristocratic families in an attempt to use the aristocratic family's power to check Li Shimin's power.

But when he saw Pei Ji coming, he knew that he had failed. The family chose the latter between him and Li Shimin. Under the joint suppression of the military group headed by Li Shimin and the family, his own power suffered a devastating blow. The struggle to withdraw from the imperial power was

His only choice.

When Li Shimin learned that his father was going to Da'an Palace, he immediately sent people to clean it and asked Empress Changsun to select beautiful palace servants to serve the Supreme Emperor.

After all, he still felt indebted to his father, which allowed Pei Ji to save the emperor's face. Li Shimin decreed that his fiefdom be increased to 1,500 households. After receiving the imperial edict, Pei Ji helplessly shook his head. He knew that the Pei family wanted to

If it continues to exist and cannot cater to the new emperor, it is destined to be submerged in the vastness of history.

Taiji Palace was built in the early Sui Dynasty. The palace city is 2830.3 meters wide from east to west and 1492.1 meters long from north to south.

Taiji Palace is the first large palace complex in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It has thirty or forty halls, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions. In addition, there are more than twenty palaces and pavilions in the East Palace. The entire palace complex in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is magnificent.

.

Taiji Palace was the center of political activities in the early Tang Dynasty. Looking at the Taiji Palace standing on the thirty-six stone steps, standing at the bottom of the stone steps, you can see the cornices and the auspicious animals Xiyu and Xiezhi at the head of the eaves.

, Bullfighting, Xingshi, Suan Ni looks majestic in the dim sunlight and shows the supremacy of imperial power.

The political orders of the "Government of Zhenguan" were all issued here, and many famous stories of Zhenguan monarchs and ministers discussing politics also took place here.

After Luo Yi, his son and his family were escorted to Beijing separately, Li Shimin's life became more and more difficult day by day. Feng Deyi and other ministers sent memorials every day, asking the emperor to kill the rebellious Luo Yi and his family.

The old generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace also mentioned the wives and children of Paul's family, Feng Deyi and others thought it was good to just kill Luo Yi's family. All nine of their families were implicated. His Majesty had just ascended a great treasure, so it was not appropriate to kill too much, otherwise

Let him spare them.

After hearing this, the generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace exploded. Why, they stopped letting people talk and slapped them with big names at every turn. I've been working hard for the court with my head high. When I came back, you civil servants knew how to contact me blindly.

Why can't we tolerate justice after working together for more than ten years? It's not enough to kill Luo Yi and his son, we have to kill the whole family. But the civil servants have their hands on justice, and it's useless even if you say hell. For a while, the court scolded

The sound is endless, and various dialects emerge in endlessly.

Li Shimin looked coldly at the quarreling ministers below. He understood that Feng Deyi and the others were just drunkards who wanted to exchange Li Chengqian's life as a pledge and lose the credit for delaying his attack.

So that Li Ke, the prince of Hanzhong whom they had long favored, could become the crown prince. Li Ke was born with the blood of two dynasties, which attracted special attention from the old and young of the Sui Dynasty.

Even when the queen was established a while ago, they still supported the establishment of Yang as queen. Thinking of this, Li Shimin secretly clenched his fists under his sleeves. Although he was angry, Li Shimin had to endure it.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Changsun Wuji came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, we can't discuss it today. I think it's better to disperse the court first and let all the ministers calm down."

Changsun Wuji's words satisfied the emperor's face. After hearing this, the emperor nodded and walked away.

"Auxiliary machine, they disrupted today's court meeting to establish Qian as the crown prince," Li Shimin said fiercely.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. The decree will be announced directly to the court tomorrow morning. If you obey the decree, you will be a loyal minister. If you resist the decree!"

A cold light flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes. For the sake of his sister, it seemed that he had to make some preparations...

The next day, in front of the Taiji Palace, three thousand Xuanjia troops stood in the square, their armors shining. Feng Deyi sighed in his heart, having underestimated His Majesty's determination. Today's big event is about to be decided.

Changsun Wuji came out and said: "Your Majesty, I consider that the eldest son of the emperor, King of Zhongshan, Li Chengqian can be established as the crown prince."

Later, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other ministers and the generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace came out to second the proposal.

Looking at the Xuanjia Army outside the door, Feng Deyi had no choice but to go out and second the proposal. When those ministers who supported Li Ke saw that Feng Deyi had given in, and would move their heads if they persisted, they did not look at the group of people outside the door.

The fighting men had already sharpened their swords, so they all came out to second the proposal.

"Accurate performance, declare the decree."

Li Chengqian knelt down at His Highness and listened to the chamberlain read loudly: "The edict says: Since I came to the throne following the imperial edict, I have been responsible for all military and state affairs, employing people and administration, and I have not dared to rest until I was tired of hard work.

Xu Yinghong continued, working hard day and night, looking up to his ancestor Molie Zhaofou, entrusting him with the most important trust, carrying it to celebrate, and holding it in Yuanliang. The emperor's eldest son Li Chengqian, as the first heir of the emperor, belongs to God's will, carries out the ceremony, and obeys

public opinion,

I would like to inform the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the state of the country to confer a book of treasures and establish him as the crown prince. He will be enthroned in the East Palace to maintain the lineage for ten thousand years and to spread the heart of the four seas.

"My dear father, thank you for your kindness." After a grand ceremony, they were at the head of the class. Then all the ministers congratulated Li Shimin and Li Chengqian. This back and forth took nearly an hour to complete.

Li Chengqian knew in his heart that although some ministers were kneeling in front of him, they did not think highly of him in their hearts. In the early Tang Dynasty, the power of aristocratic families was huge, and most officials came from aristocratic families. They formed a powerful force through marriage.

The power that can influence the imperial power.

During the Takenori period, the imperial court focused its main energy on eliminating all kinds of rebels and stabilizing the borders. The family took advantage of the gap and extended its tentacles to every corner of the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time. Even the generals who followed Li Shimin on the campaign also

Everyone was proud to be married to the aristocratic family. From this, Li Chengqian knew that the problem of the aristocratic family had reached a point where it had to be resolved.

Later, Shangshu Zuopu shot Pei Ji out of office and stated that since the new emperor came to the throne, Luo Yi has been suppressed internally and the Turks have been invaded externally. The people live and work in peace and contentment, do not pick up things on the road, and do not close their homes at night...

Li Chengqian, who was watching Pei Ji talk eloquently, sympathized with him in his heart. They said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't be a bully or a horse for your children and grandchildren. But who can be exception? The prime minister is also a human being.

You see, Pei Ji is a good example. Under the high pressure of his father, the founding prime minister had to lower his proud head. Alas, Li Chengqian sighed.

East Palace

"Cheng Qian, from today on you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the new master of the East Palace. You must learn from your predecessors and study hard with the masters. In the future, I can rest assured that I can leave these thousands of miles of land in your hands.", Great.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at his eldest son lovingly.

"Father, I know that you are under pressure to appoint me as the crown prince. Please rest assured, father, that I will live up to my father's expectations."

"Okay, I'm very happy that you can understand this." Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, it's time to choose a teacher for His Majesty." Changsun Wuji said while looking at Li Chengqian who looked a little strange.

"What the assistant said is that the prince's teacher is related to the inheritance of the country. So who do you think is suitable?"

Li Shimin knew that Changsun Wuji had worked hard to get Li Chengqian to the throne. Whether it was support for him or love for his sister, the couple must remember this favor.

Although the emperor is the lord of the world, he still has to let others say some things and words, and as his elder brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"I think Li Gang and Zhang Xuansu can be the prince's tutors. Although they have not taught Yang Yong and Jiancheng well, they are the only two who know how to prevent the prince from going astray. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Li Er thought for a while and felt that what Changsun Wuji said made sense. Just as Li Er was deep in thought, Li Chengqian interrupted and said, "Father, can you also find a master who can learn martial arts and art of war?"

"Who do you want to learn martial arts from?"

"General Zuo Wuwei, Lord Yi Guogong, Qin Qiong"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Er and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and smiled. Li Chengqian also learned to talk in a roundabout way. Who didn't know that Qin Qiong was implicated because of Luo Yi's problem.

The emperor also looked at Qin Qiong's face, so he did not kill Luo Yi and his son immediately, and they are still detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Li Chengqian did not miss his old sins and could still think about the court. He indeed looked like a prince of a great country.

Li Chengqian knew that his narrow-mindedness could not be hidden from the two people in front of him, so he bravely said: "Luo Yi and his son have been at the border for a long time, and they have intimidated the barbarians. The country is poor and weak, making the northern barbarians rampant. But one day, the northern expedition to the Turks will be a hero's use of force."

When the time comes, Luo Yi and his son will be grateful for their father's kindness and will swear to die in repayment.

On the other hand, General Qin is an old minister of the Qin Palace and has served the emperor for a long time. If the father pardons Luo Yi and his son, all the generals in the Qin Palace will be grateful. However, the father will go against all opinions and will not forget the good name of the hero, which will be passed down to future generations."

.

"Cheng Qian, honestly speaking, who taught you what you said today?" Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji and asked.

"Father, if a person who has died once has not grown up, then he has no shame to be the prince, right?".
