As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Changsun Wuji snorted, "He is a good plan and takes advantage of the dissatisfaction of the aristocratic families with Li Yan to make profits for Li You. He still wants Li You to be a vassal king like Li Yan."

Changsun Wuji's analysis was so sharp that Wei Zheng had to admire that Changsun Wuji was indeed an expert in governing the country, and the court also saw it thoroughly. "From Changsun Pavilion, how should we deal with it this time? Although Li Yan was conferred a king against the feudal system, Li Yan did do a lot of practical things for the Tang Dynasty this year. First, he defeated Tuyuhun and solved the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. Second, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Revenue at the end of the year, the taxes paid to the court in Yizhou reached 3 million yuan a year, and one-fifth of the total tax amount. With these two things alone, no one can blame the Sixth Prince."

Fang Xuanling also nodded, "Not only that, the court also saved the expenses of Bashu, which was equivalent to only entering and not leaving, saving the money and food of the garrison, stabilizing the southwest border. More importantly, Li Yan obeyed His Majesty's words and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty. No one could say anything."

"Li Yan has this ability and relies on Luo Anguo. His Majesty named him a vassal king for this reason. This is a special situation. After all, the harm of the vassal king is not unknown. Although a loyal vassal king is beneficial to the court, it is hard to say a vassal king with a different intention. Of course, this vassal king is also clear in his heart. Therefore, except for Li Yan, Your Majesty will not enthrone other vassal kings. Yinshi Master will only take a lot of busy schedules, and the two cabinet masters must also think about the Tang Dynasty!" Changsun Wuji pointed out. He said this for the Tang Dynasty and the other to suppress Yinshi Master.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng both nodded when they heard this. They still agreed with what Changsun Wuji said. That is, the Tang Dynasty could not have another vassal king.

Li Yan has been paying attention to the news of the DPRK in the past two days. Today, Li Shimin announced the morning court, and Li Yan was notified to go.

Put on his official uniform, Li Yan rode his horse towards the Tai Chi Hall. Behind him was a carriage followed, and more than a dozen guards were guarding both sides of the carriage, responsible for the safety of the carriage.

When Li Yan arrived at Tai Chi Hall, basically all the ministers arrived, and the atmosphere in the court was very strange. Li Yan looked at it and clearly felt that these ministers had been divided into different camps. It seemed that today's morning court would be very lively.

After finding his place, Li Yan stopped. Li Shimin walked in from outside the hall. Before he could sit down, he stood up alone, "Your Majesty, the old minister has the right to report!"

This person is Yin Shishi, the current minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the father of Yin Concubine, and the uncle of the current dynasty.

"Say!" Li Shimin was obviously not in a good mood.

"The old minister impeached King Li Yan of Shu, who was not in the king's law, mobilized the army without authorization, and beat the fifth prince for no reason, causing the fifth prince to be seriously injured. The emperor still violated the law and was still in the same way as the common people. The old minister begged your highness to punish the sixth prince to rectify the law!" Yin Shishi said anxiously.

The Yin Shishi Master said, which immediately made many ministers start to discuss. The so-called emperor’s crimes against the common people were just a slogan. The emperor could even lock the emperor up if he killed someone. Li Yan was not only a prince, but also a vassal king. This law could not define him even more.

Before Yin Shishishi finished speaking, he continued: "And the old minister felt wronged for the fifth prince. The sixth prince and the fifth prince are both princes outside. Why can the sixth prince be granted the title of vassal prince? But the fifth prince cannot. The old minister hopes that your princes will treat you equally so as not to be disheartened."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this. He summoned court officials today just to calm the dispute between Li Yan and Li You. He stopped the folk rumors, and had no other intention. Whether it was Li Yan beating Li You for no reason or Li You assassinating Li You, the matter ended here. He thought that these old ministers could guess what he meant, but he didn't expect that this Yinshi Master would jump out and call for Li You for injustice. It was really a thief who called to catch the thief.

Changsun Wuji had already calculated that Yinshi Master would use this trick, so he said: "There are some small conflicts between the fifth prince and the sixth prince. It is also the emperor's family affairs. We ministers should not get involved. The emperor has his own clear decision. Let's talk about the affairs of the vassal kings. As the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Yin Guoji should also know how much tax the King of Shu has paid this year! Can the King of Qi do it? And does the King of Qi have a border to guard?"

Li Shimin thought that Changsun Wuji knew him, so he couldn't help but smile, "What the Fu Ji said makes sense. Don't worry about the prince's dispute. As for the matter of the vassal king, the situation is special. I will not establish another vassal king."

Yin Shishi Master contacted many officials, how could he give up? If Li You could become a vassal king, then the throne would be further away from Li You. "Emperor, my family affairs are just family affairs, but the emperor's family affairs are state affairs. As for the affairs of the vassal king, if the fifth prince could take the position of King Shu and have the land of Bashu, taxes and guarding the border would not be a problem."

As soon as Master Yin Shi finished speaking, the whole court became silent. Now everyone understood what Master Yin Shi said. He wanted Li You to replace Li Yan.

"I think what the uncle of Yin Guo was right. The sixth prince openly beat his brother and had misconduct. How can he be the King of Shu? I think the fifth prince is kind and filial, and he is more qualified to be the King of Shu." A minister said in a list.

"I also think this is the case!" Seven or eight ministers stood up.

These dozen ministers are from big families among the aristocratic families. They have been greedy for a long time in Yizhou. The Yinshi Master has mastered this point accurately and promised that if Li You sits on the King of Shu, they can share the wealth of Yizhou, and people die for money and birds die for food. Their family heritage is still just a word of profit, let alone just say a few words to help. If they fail, Li Shimin can't do anything to them.

Li Shimin's expression did not change at all, just staring at the ministers who were out of the list. He knew that if he didn't understand the matter between Li Yan and Li You, these people were fearless and were ready to turn the black and white to the end. However, the guards of the Qi Prince's Mansion in the death penalty had already admitted that they wanted to vent their anger for Li You, and it had nothing to do with Li You. This was very unfavorable to Li Yan. Thinking of this, he looked up at Li Yan, and saw that Li Yan had no expression on his face and didn't know what he was thinking.

"The affairs of the vassal kings are not a joke, and there is no basis. How could the King of Shu break into the Qi King's Pavilion to teach the King of Qi a lesson?" Cui Shao said at this time.

"Yes, it's said that no wind can cause waves, and flies can't bite seamless eggs."

"What a joke!"

“…”

Many people began to agree with Cui Shao's words, and Li Yan was a little proud. He was quite popular in the court!

Changsun Wuji said in a mocking tone: "The King of Shu is not good at character? The King of Qi is benevolent and filial. It is said that the King of Qi hunts excessively in Qizhou, favors those who are good at riding, shooting and hunting, and abandons government affairs. How can this be explained?"

"The old minister has also heard a lot of rumors about the King of Qi. It is said that the emperor sent the Chief Quan Wanji criticized the King of Qi's misconduct for his mistakes." Fang Xuanling said.

The three of them had already discussed on the way. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were originally trying to suppress Yin Shishi Master, while Wei Zheng was purely out of justice. "The affairs of Yin Guoji, the fifth prince and the sixth prince have not been investigated clearly. Why are you so sure that the sixth prince beat the fifth prince for no reason?"

The three old ministers and Cui Shao attacked him together, and Yin Shishi Master was a little unbearable. Cui Shao also said that he did not expect that Changsun Wuji, who had always been incompatible with Li Yan, would also speak for Li Yan.

"Why did the sixth prince beat the fifth prince for no reason? Just take the emperor to bring the person who burned down the Shu King's Pavilion that night to the hall and ask." Yin Shishi Master looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also a little impatient. He was still fighting during the Chinese New Year, and there was no day of peace. He suddenly felt bored, "I said, this matter ends here!"

"Father! My son thought that what I said was right, and I should indeed confront you in the current dynasty. My son was unwilling to suffer this unjust injustice." Li Yan said suddenly.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yan, who had been silent from the beginning, and did not understand what Li Yan was playing. He looked at Yin Shishi again. Li Yan's words made him smile with a smug smile on his face. Li Shimin thought that if he didn't understand the matter between the two, it seemed that these ministers would be endless. Moreover, Li Yan had to say this, so he didn't need to cover him up, so he said, "Bring the guards of the Prince of Qi's Mansion."

The guard who received the order immediately left and soon took Liang Mengbiao and others up.

Looking at Liang Mengbiao and others who were lying on the ground like mud, Li Shimin asked, "I will ask you, who are you instructed to burn the Shu King's Pavilion."

Knowing that he would die, Liang Mengbiao became bolder. He said, "When you go back to Your Majesty, no one has instructed me. The King of Shu and King Qi have always been disagreeable. We want to please the King of Qi, and we decided to burn the King of Shu, which has nothing to do with King of Qi."

At this time, Yin Shishi Master looked at the ministers and said, "You can hear it now!"

Li Yan sneered, and he was waiting for this time. "Father, son minister captured two guards of the Qi Palace who were burned in the Shu King's Hall who tried to assassinate the bedroom. Their statements were different. Now they are outside the palace gate, and the father can let them come in to confront each other."

Master Yin Shi's heart trembled and thought to himself that it was broken. Unexpectedly, Li Yan was so scheming that he did not hand over everyone to Li Shimin.

"Uncle Yin Guo, should they be confronted in court?" Li Yan understood Li Shimin's thoughts. The result was the same no matter who is right or wrong. He did this just because he didn't want Yin Shishi to make a fuss about this matter.

Yin Shishi Master was also an old fox who could not even penetrate the gun. He immediately turned the rudder when he was at a disadvantage. He did not dare to take this risk and said, "This is the emperor's family matter, so please let the emperor take the initiative?"

Li Shimin showed a smile on his face. He loved and hated Li Yan. He loved Li Yan and helped him solve the problem. He hated Li Yan so much that he actually kept the backup plan without him.

"You are better than you!" Li Shimin thought with relief.
