Chapter 367 Psychological warfare

Li Shimin sat on the sofa and said angrily: "This damn silly. I'm so angry."

Empress Changsun said, "You are talking about Li You. This child sometimes doesn't know how to speak." When Li Shimin was angry, Empress Changsun always talked to him first and asked him to vent his anger before speaking.

Li Shimin said: "You said that this child has made meritorious service, and I said I would give him a reward. As a result, he wanted his uncle to be the Minister of Rites. Do you think this is what he should say?"

Empress Changsun said: "No, this child is really a little ignorant of the importance. You should be the one who decides the major affairs of the court."

When Li Shimin heard Empress Changsun agreeing with her opinion, he became much less angry and calmed down his expression.

Empress Changsun asked casually: "Li You's uncle has been the Minister of Rites for a long time. Is his talent okay? Is he qualified to be the Minister of Rites?"

Li Shimin said: "Yin Hongzhi is still capable and performs well. However, the third uncle and the others have found me and plead for his son Li Bin. They are all old people. I want to comfort them."

Empress Changsun said: "Erlang always takes care of the overall situation of the court when considering problems. However, I have an idea, don't you know whether to talk about it?"

Li Shimin said: "Talking at home is not considered interfering in politics."

Empress Changsun said: "Erlang, do you think those old people are important to the court, or is Li You important to the court?"

"This..." Li Shimin understood the importance of Li You, but he felt a little forced, and he still felt uncomfortable.

Empress Changsun said: "From the overall situation of the court, it is important to appease the elderly or to appease Li You. Erlang knows in his heart. Erlang has his own decisions on how to choose. I won't say more.

However, Erlang, I don’t interfere in politics. My brother wants to be a servant, but I always stop me. This is what you know. Li You has great kindness to my concubine, Chengqian, Ling'er and Yizi have great kindness. I want to say something for him, but I don’t know if it’s OK?”

Empress Changsun had never asked Li Shimin to do anything private. She pleaded for Li You, which moved Li Shimin a little.

In fact, in his heart, he also wanted to give Yin Hongzhi the position of Minister of Rites, but he was a little worried that the elderly would have any opinions, so he planned to take care of them.

Why did Li You perform this show?

As the saying goes, children who can cry have milk to eat.

This often happens in a company. Some old employees work diligently and have impeccable character and abilities, but they often don’t get any benefits. On the contrary, those stubborn employees, leaders are worried that they will cause trouble, and they will comfort them first when they encounter good things.

The same is true for a family, even a country.

Why doesn’t Li Shimin care about Li You’s feelings? It’s because Li You is very capable and does not cause trouble. Therefore, there is no need to care about his feelings.

There was a conflict between Li Tai and Li You. Li Tai was a little sensible and would cause trouble, while Li You was open-minded. In this case, if someone else was Li Shimin, he would choose to comfort Li Tai.

Li You has now realized this truth. It’s not Li Tai’s fault for this matter, nor is it because Li You deserves it - who makes you bully?

Therefore, Li You has to change his attitude towards things.

Wu Zetian looked at the problem more directly. She thought that the Minister of Rites was a ceramic dog. Now the one who wanted this ceramic dog was Li Bin, the old people, and the other was Yin Hongzhi, and Li You. Whether Li Shimin gave it to him or not depends on who he wanted to give it to, that is, who Li Shimin cared more about.

Li You originally wanted to solve the problem through the recommendation of the ministers. After he found out that Li Tai intervened, he changed his mind and informed the ministers not to intervene.

The ministers were all good-looking. Without knowing that Li Tai was involved, it was understandable that they originally recommended Yin Hongzhi. Since Li You changed his mind, they later performed those good shows, which gave Li You enough face.

Before causing trouble, Li You asked to meet Empress Changsun and asked her to speak for Yin Hongzhi, and then went to make trouble with Li Shimin. The problem facing Li Shimin now is to weigh whether he cares about the elderly or whether Li You and Empress Changsun.

For Li Shimin, is there any choice?!

Li Shimin said, "Okay, let Yin Hongzhi be the Minister of Rites. Guanyin maid, I will give you face, and I will teach him a lesson if you are not stingy."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Yes, Erlang, thank you. I will scold him hard for you."

Eastern Palace.

Li Chengqian was also well-informed. He also received news about Li You and Li Shimin's dispute. He specially sent someone to wait for Li You and asked him to speak to the East Palace.

Li Chengqian asked worriedly: "Fifth brother, why are we quarreling with your father? Li Tai is sowing the disagreement. Will you fall into his trap if you do this?"

Li You smiled and said, "Brother, what a big deal. Just because he is Li Tai, if he wants to harm others, he must have the ability."

Li Chengqian trusted Li You very much. Seeing his condition, he felt at ease and said, "That's good, that's good."

Li You said, "Brother, thank you. You are doing well now, so you should do this. There is nothing scary about it. Li Tai wants to be in trouble with us, so don't be polite. After this matter, find a chance to deal with him."

Wei Prince's Mansion.

Li Tai said excitedly: "A moment ago, the news came, and the father and the man quarreled. The father asked him to get out and broke the cup."

Yan Liben grinned and said, "This damn person is not stingy, it's the same thing."

Wang Cong said: "It's great. Your Highness will take control of the Ministry of Rites again in the future. I suggest that you should immediately notify Prince Zheng and Li Bin of this good news and let them take His Highness's favor."

Li Tai said: "Okay, let's arrange it, let Li Bin prepare for a tail-burning banquet. Haha."

"Hahahahahaha", the three of them all laughed proudly.

Ministry of Rites.

Li Bin was very excited when he received the news from Li Tai. He was born in the royal family and had already looked down on Yin Hongzhi, who relied on nepotism.

He left the office room and came to the corridor. He saw Yin Hongzhi coming in from outside. He smiled and called out, "Master Yin." But he was thinking, after tomorrow, when you see me, just salute me obediently." When he thought of the identity of an official below Yin Hongzhi bowed to him, he felt relieved.

Li Bin deliberately returned home early and notified some important relatives and friends to prepare for a tail-cooking banquet.

The next morning court was in Tai Chi Hall.

Li Tai and his gang came to the gate of Tai Chi Hall early and were chatting and laughing. When Li Bin saw Li Tai, he hurried over and saluted him and said, "Thank you for your care."

Li Tai smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite to me."

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others all heard about Li Shimin scolding Li You, and their mood was a little dark. Seeing Li Tai and his gang's smug look, they felt even more unhappy.
