After the morning court routine report, Li Shimin said: "Tang Lian, the Minister of Rites, retired and returned home. I decided."

No matter any organization or unit, announcing personnel appointments has always been a focus of people's attention. Therefore, no matter who announces it, he will breathe and pause before reading the list.

Li Tai and others were extremely excited and waited for Li Shimin to announce and cheer. Although Li Bin knew that it must be him, he was still a little nervous. He held his breath, closed his eyes, and waited to hear his name.

Yin Hongzhi had long been discouraged, but he did not blame Li You, after all, Li You had done his best for him. He was scolded by Li Shimin for this.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Jingming, Wei Zheng and others were also a little dissatisfied, thinking that Li Shimin still favored Li Tai for conspiracy and indulged in the unhealthy trend in the court.

After seeing everyone's attention, Li Shimin continued, "I decided to replace Tang Lian with the former Minister of Rites Yin Hongzhi and serve as the Minister of Rites!"

“???!!!”

This result was completely unexpected, and the court was silent for a while.

Li Bin couldn't believe his ears and was stunned for a moment. He stared at Li Tai with questioning eyes, not understanding why he was playing tricks on him. He had already notified his relatives and friends that he was going to have a big tail-burning banquet. Where did he put his face?

Li Tai was even more surprised. Li Shimin had just scolded Li You, but he was so angry that he threw his cup. This was a very rare thing. "This, this, this... what's going on?" He was a little confused.

Yan Liben, Wang Cong and others looked gray.

Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Jingming, Cheng Yaojin and others were excited. This was really unexpected good news!

"Buzzing" and the conversation in the hall was filled with sounds.

Yin Hongzhi couldn't believe his ears, and he was a little confused, and forgot to come forward to thank him for a moment.

Xiao Dongchang, who was standing not far from him, reminded him: "Uncle Yin, hurry up and thank you."

Yin Hongzhi then woke up and hurriedly went out to salute and said, "I am Yin Hongzhi, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Chengqian glared at Li Tai with contempt and saluted, "Father is wise!"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others said together: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Tai was arrogant, domineering, insidious and cunning. Li Shimin's excessive favor towards him made most of the civil and military officials in the court feel a little resistant to him. Most of the people were positive about Li You. So everyone praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After Li Ke passed the last time about Yongtongqu, he had guessed in his heart that it was Li You who was secretly helping him. Between Li Tai and Li You, he also agreed with Li You, so he also expressed his approval.

Li Tai was extremely angry. He hated Li You and Li Chengqian, and even hated Li Shimin a little. He didn't understand why Li Shimin suddenly chose to support Li You.

The Palace of King Qi.

After the court was dispersed, Yin Hongzhi came to the Qi Palace. When he saw Li You, he said excitedly: "Your Highness, what's going on? Haven't you just been scolded by Your Majesty?"

Li You patted Wu Yu's fair hands sitting beside him and said, "Let my son tell you."

Wu Yu told him about Li You asking for a meeting with Empress Changsun and Li Shimin. He smiled and said, "Li Bin wants a ceramic dog. The prince goes to find his father and tells him that his uncle also wants it. The queen comes out and says she wants it for you. Your Majesty is facing a choice, whether to give the ceramic dog to Li Bin or to you uncle."

"So that's it." Yin Hongzhi sighed. He said, "Your Highness, the Empress, you are talking to you, and this favor is great. How can I thank you?"

"Uncle, what you said is far away. Who told you to be my uncle?" Li You said with a smile.

Yin Hongzhi looked at Wu Xi and said sincerely: "The princess is so smart."

Wu Xi said embarrassedly: "Uncle, what I am talking nonsense is, the prince is still very powerful."

...

Wei Prince's Mansion.

Li Tai was frustrated again and again, and the best friends who followed him had begun to doubt his ability. The main reason why they followed Li Tai was that Li Shimin loved him the most.

However, now Li Shimin is supporting Li You more and more, and Li Tai's advantages are gradually weakening. The appeal of Li Tai, the leader, has weakened, and it is difficult to lead the team.

Wang Cong said depressedly: "Your Highness, the current situation is getting worse and worse for us. I am looking for your supporters now. Newcomers are not easy to develop, and the elderly are a little disobedient.

Wang Wei, Zhou Feng has asked someone to surrender to His Highness the Crown Prince, and others have also been shaken. If this continues, your influence will be worrying."

Li Tai said angrily: "It's all the damn person who is not stingy and is against me everywhere. The mother has long favored that guy, who would have thought that the father would also favor that bastard this time?"

Yan Liben said: "Your Highness, this won't work. You have to quickly establish your prestige."

Li Tai nodded and said, "I understand."

Li Tai was sick, he was really sick, so he simply had a minor illness and was not allowed to go to court after taking leave.

The next morning court was in Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon throne and was listening to reports from various ministries. When he saw that Li Tai did not attend court, he asked, "Why didn't Li Tai come?"

Cen Wenben said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the King of Wei, is in a state of discomfort and is taking leave."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, Ministry of Personnel, please continue to report."

After the scattered court, he walked out and asked, "What disease is Li Tai? Is it serious? Have the imperial doctors seen it?"

Wang De said: "Your Majesty, I have already learned about it. Your Highness, the King of Wei, heard that he was very sick this time and he had a fever."

Li Shimin became anxious when he heard this. He stopped and said, "I won't go to Liangyi Palace anymore. Set up a siege and go to the palace of the Prince of Wei."

Not long after, the Wei Palace.

When Li Shimin came to Li Tai's dormitory, he saw him lying on the bed, his face pale and a towel on his forehead.

"Father." Li Tai saw Li Shimin coming in and struggled to get up and salute him.

Li Shimin said, "It's all like this, so don't be polite." As he said that, he walked to the bed and sat down.

"Thank you, Father." Li Tai said weakly.

Li Shimin asked with concern: "Qingque, what's wrong with you? Why are you sick after all?"

Li Tai said: "Father, I, Erchen, reviewed the "Tuodizhi" overnight last night. He was a little tired, so he went to the yard for a walk, wanted to wake up and then review it. Unexpectedly, he caught a cold. Erchen did not practice martial arts since childhood and was relatively weak, so he became sick."

His words were half true and half false, and it was true that he caught a cold. Yesterday, he moved in the room for a long time, drank some hot tea, and even sweated. Then he ran to the yard wearing only a single dress. It was already late autumn, and Li Tai's physique was indeed not as good as Li Ke, Li You and others, so he was really sick.

Li Shimin said with distress: "You kid, you can't finish things in a day. Don't work so hard in the future."

Li Tai said with difficulty: "Father, I just want to fulfill my father's wish as soon as possible, so that you can see the beauty of the mountains and rivers of my Tang Dynasty in the palace. After my son's illness is cured, I will definitely work harder to complete the compilation of "Tudizhi" as soon as possible."

Li Shimin was very moved and said, "Good boy. My father knows your feelings."

He asked the imperial physician and said, "Have you dealt with Li Tai's illness?"

The imperial physician said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Highness, the condition of Your Highness of Wei is not very serious. I have prescribed medicine and I will be cured after a while."

Li Shimin felt relieved and chatted with Li Tai.

Li Tai said: "Father, my son-in-law want to find a clean place after heals this time, and concentrate manpower to accelerate the compilation of "Tudizhi"."

Li Shimin asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Tai said: "I think Furong Garden has an elegant environment and is a good place to study and study."

Furong Garden, also known as Furong Garden, is the former Ligong Palace of the Sui Dynasty and the royal forbidden garden of the Tang Dynasty. It is located on the south bank of Qujiangchi, close to the outer city of Chang'an City, and is surrounded by high walls. The garden covers an area of ​​30 hectares and is 17 miles away. In the garden, "the building of a corridor is built in a wide area, and the area is extended to the cool roof, with a span of the belt, and a lush forest, a green hillside, a cool hall under the east sakata, and a Linshui Pavilion in the east."

Li Shimin said, "Okay. Since you like it, I will give you Furong Garden."

"Thank you for your grace," Li Tai said excitedly.

Not long after, a news circulated in Chang'an City that Li Shimin gave Furong Garden to King Li Tai of Wei.

This grace was too great, and the other princes of Li Shimin could only envy, jealousy and hatred. This sent a signal to the ministers that Li Tai's status in Li Shimin's mind was higher than that of other princes, including Li Chengqian.

So, more people defected to Li Tai.

Eastern Palace.

Li Chengqian stood in the garden, looking at the autumn wind ripped up the fallen leaves on the ground, and felt that the desolate scenery in front of him became even darker.

He said to Li You: "The father has always been unfair to do things. He just favors Li Tai. In his eyes, only Li Tai and him are father-son relationships, and we are just a relationship between the king and the subject.

He did this, obviously, to support Li Tai. Isn’t this deliberately provoking disputes in the court?"

Li You smiled and said, "What's the matter? Brother, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties and problems in life. Don't care too much, just treat this matter as one of the many problems, and do whatever you want.

If Li Tai wants to be crazy, he will let him go first. Hamid has a famous saying, saying that if you want to perish, you will first let him go first.

Although there are more and more people who are approaching him on the surface. But how many of these people really admire him? They are all villains who are tempted by the savages. It’s better not to have such people.”
