At 7:30 the next morning, Li You rode a horse to the front door of Tai Chi Hall.

It was popular for people in the Tang Dynasty to ride horses, officials and rich people to ride horses, and poor people to ride donkeys or mules. Women also ride horses, but most of them ride ox carts.

In front of the Tai Chi Hall, a large area of ​​officials of all sizes have arrived. Today is the first day of March, and it is the court meeting. All officials of the ninth rank and above who are not on duty will come to participate.

This is the first time Li You went to court. This guy is notorious and everyone is consciously far away from him. If he really can't hide, he will smile and salute him, and avoid him quickly.

"Fifth brother, you are here." A young man wearing a golden crown and a handsome and honest man greeted. The visitor was Prince Li Chengqian, and his attitude towards Li You has always been pretty good.

"I have met the prince's brother." Li You said with a bow.

Li Chengqian took Li You's hand and said, "Fifth brother, congratulations. I heard that you came to attend the court today and are waiting for you here."

"Thank you, Brother Prince." Li You said.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "The first time I participated in the court, don't be nervous, listen more and watch more, and you will get familiar with it slowly." His words were very sincere, just like what Yin Hongzhi said.

Li You smiled and said, "Prince Prince Brother, please take care of him."

At this time, someone next to him said, "Fifth brother, come to court, congratulations." The person who came was tall and handsome, more handsome than Li You. He was the King of Shu Li Ke.

Li You smiled and said, "Third Brother, thank you for the pork at your house, it's delicious."

Li Ke was wise and magical, very much like Li Shimin, but unfortunately his mind was not broad enough. A hint of anger flashed through his heart and forced a smile: "Hehe, fifth brother, you are really good at calculating."

At this time, another white fat man came over, who was King Wei Li Tai. He walked over with a look of surprise on his face, and he seemed to be as sincere as possible. He said, "Oh, fifth brother, I have long hoped that you can participate in the court. We brothers can participate in politics and make efforts for the father and the court."

Li You knew very well that Li Tai was a slutty person, with a knife hidden in his smile and stabbed him in the back. It’s a pity that Li Shimin liked this fat man the most and was so pampered that he could never do anything about it. There is no way, he is sweet-mouthed and can flatter him.

Li You said to himself: "I, Li You bastard, that's bad in the bright spots, but I have a very positive outlook on my three views, not like you, a hypocrite. Oh, didn't my uncle tell me to pretend to be stupid? I know this." He smiled and said: "Fourth brother, I'm a newcomer, and I can't do anything. I have to rely on you and your brothers to give me some advice."

At this time, at the entrance of Tai Chi Hall, the eunuch on duty shouted: "I've been to court."

Li Chengqian took Li You's hand and walked into the Tai Chi Hall.

The Tai Chi Hall is extremely wide, with two rows of twenty-four vermilion pillars supporting the high roof. At the top of the hall are nine steps, and above it is the dragon chaise with dragons and tigers, facing north and south, standing above.

At this time, Li Chengqian was not as a state-controller, and he was also standing in the front of the audience. From left to right, Li Ke, Li Tai and Li You stood in the second row.

The third row is Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others on the left and right. Behind are the ministers of various departments and others, and later they are gradually arranged according to the rank of officials.

In this era, the status of military generals was very high, just like when the country was just founded in later generations, they stood on the left. The military generals were not wearing armor, but also robes, but they were different from civil servants in hats and costumes.

Not long after, the eunuch general manager Wang De came out, and he shouted sharply: "Your Majesty is here!"

Li Shimin walked up in a majestic spirit. After he sat down, the ministers bowed and said, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "All the Lords are calm."

All the ministers said together: "Thank you Your Majesty."

Like all the ministers, Li You held a tablet in his hand. In the Tang Dynasty, the tablets of officials above the fifth rank were made of ivory, and the tablets below the sixth rank were made of wooden. The tablets were two feet and six inches long and three inches wide. (Because the sizes in ancient times were different from today's sizes, 2 feet and 6 inches shorter than today's 2 feet and 6 inches.)

The tablet is mainly used for prompts, with an outline to be spoken.

Li Shimin said: "My dear friends, there is a major event to discuss in the morning court today. Before that, I want to say something, that is, my son, Li You, the King of Yiyang, was sixteen years old yesterday, and today I started participating in the government affairs discussion."

All the ministers said together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Highness, King Yiyang!"

Li You was introduced on such an occasion for the first time and felt a little excited. He grinned and was about to smile when he heard someone shouting: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Li You, the King of Yiyang."

Li You was impeached many times before, very experienced and didn't care at all, but that was impeached behind the scenes. What he didn't expect was that he would be impeached in person when he was in court for the first time today, which was too disrespectful!

He turned his head and looked at it. It turned out to be the censor Li Yan.

This Li Yan is the best friend of King Li Tai of Wei. He chose to impeach Li You at this time, and it was Li Tai who prepared the warning for Li You.

At this time, the princes of Li Shimin's competition for the position of crown prince have gradually entered a white-hot heat. Although Li You's status is not high, there is a possibility of competing for the position of crown prince. Li Tai wants to suppress Li You as much as possible and cut off his thoughts.

Li Shimin just introduced his son, and someone came to impeach him immediately. He felt very unhappy. He said with a gloomy face: "What are you going to impeach him?"

Li Yan said: "As a prince, His Highness King Yiyang's every move represents the majesty of the royal family. Just recently, it has been circulating in Chang'an City that His Highness King Yiyang did not learn the etiquette of sages and laws, nor did he learn how to govern the country. Instead, he cooked and cooked himself, bewitching the people to abandon mutton and eat pork, causing the price of pork to soar. Moreover, he used fraudulent means to deceive the various royal palaces to enter into meat exchange agreements, resulting in huge losses in each palace."

As soon as he spoke, the supporters of King Li Tai of Wei agreed and accused Li You of coming.

The subordinates of King Li Ke of Shu all looked at Li Ke. Seeing him nodding slightly, they also went into battle together, impeaching Li You one after another.

Li You is not popular in normal times and no one can help him. Uncle Yin Hongzhi saw it and was anxious in his heart, but he was helpless.

At this time, Li Tai stood up and said hypocritically: "Father, ministers, my fifth brother Li You, my performance was indeed a bit unsatisfactory, but that was the past. Now he has grown up, and his father has allowed him to participate in the court and make decisions. I believe that he will definitely change his past and strive to improve in the future."

His words hidden murderous intent, implying that Li You was unbearable. On the surface, he spoke highly and showed his love for his younger brother as his elder brother.

As soon as his words came out, the supporters agreed and praised Li Tai for his kindness and generosity. No one would accuse Li You anymore.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Tai's performance and nodded slightly. He said, "The ministers are right. Li You, the king of Yiyang, should pay attention to his words and deeds in the future. Okay, this matter is..." He is about to talk about the next thing.

"Slowly, wait a moment. I have something to say." Someone interrupted him.
