Five days later, with the leaders of a total of 16 water transport agencies in Yangzhou gathering in Yangzhou, under the urging of Li Ke, they set up a canal, established a canal, and divided the canal, and divided the canal, and divided the canal, so it became clear that in an inconspicuous street in the south of Yangzhou, the Ducai Transportation Department, which divided the canal and transported the north and south, had already begun to take shape in the form of the Ducai Transportation Department in the south and north.

At the same time, after several days of running around, King Li Yan of Liang finally returned to Chang'an with Li Ke's handwritten letter.

Although Li Shimin had issued three edicts on Li Ke's assassination, due to the Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate change, the things Li Chengqian said were far from over. There were still many ministers in the court who stared at Li Chengqian, and everyone was waiting for Li Yan to bring Li Ke's attitude from Yangzhou.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, the late summer, the court was in the evening.

Li Shimin sat upright in the middle of Liangyi Hall, and on both sides of His Highness were divided into ministers, divided into civil and military officials. The Crown Prince Li Chengqian was also standing at the head of ministers as before.

The crown prince is the crown prince of the country and is a super-human minister. It is reasonable and a honor to be the first. However, today, Li Chengqian is very embarrassed and not as calm as before.

Li Chengqian was a little panicked. First of all, his reputation has dropped significantly recently, and his reputation in the court and the public is much worse than before. Although Li Shimin did not move his position as the crown prince, the civil and military officials in the court looked at him, which made it difficult for him to deal with himself;

Secondly, Li Yan is still in court today. In Li Chengqian's eyes, Li Yan is just a young child and it is difficult to become a miracle. However, Li Yan represents Li Ke's attitude towards this matter. If Li Ke is really obsessed with this matter and intends to investigate it in depth, even if Li Shimin intends to protect him, Li Chengqian will not be able to escape unscathed.

After all, Li Ke is not an ordinary minister. Li Ke has a lot of power in the court. What's more, he was a young man and was pledged to the north. Millions of Guanzhong people still bear his kindness. Li Shimin will protect him again and will not ignore the people's sentiments.

"Report to Your Majesty, King Liang is looking for a visit outside the hall." The voice of the Zhongguan came from the door of the hall and also came into Li Chengqian's ears. Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat.

"pass."

With Li Shimin's response, Li Chengqian's eyes unconsciously glanced at the direction of the palace gate.

Li Yan is now twelve years old. Although he had been to the court before, it is the first time he has entered the court to report things like this today.

"My son Li Yan, pay homage to my father." Li Yan stepped into the hall under the gaze of everyone, walked steadily to Your Highness, and said to Li Shimin sitting in the hall.

Seeing that Li Shimin was worshipping His Highness, he raised his hand and said to Li Ke: "Liu Lang is here, get up quickly."

Li Yan returned north and was nervously not only Li Chengqian, but Li Shimin was the same, but his concerns were different from Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was worried that Li Yan would attack the dynasty, while Li Shimin was worried that Li Ke would not be willing to forgive him and made it difficult for him, the father, to do it. It also made all the civil and military officials in the court look at his Tian family's brothers in disagreement.

Li Shimin did not call Li Yan the title or Li Yan the name, but called him Liu Lang, which was telling Li Yan that today's affairs should be based on brotherhood.

Li Shimin didn't know if Li Yan understood what he meant. Li Yan slowly stood up, took out a letter from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said to Li Shimin: "Report to my father, I will go south to the third brother this time by the emperor's order. The third brother has already handed the letter and asked my father to read it."

As soon as Li Yan said, everyone in the entire hall looked at Li Yan and the handwritten book in Li Yan's hand. They all knew the meaning of this handwritten book.

Among the people, the most exciting ones were Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei.

Li Chengqian was in the middle of the storm. He was worried that Li Ke would be embarrassed in his handwritten letters, which made him embarrassed at that time. Li Tai hoped that Li Ke would attack with his handwritten letters and questioned Li Chengqian at that time. As a result, Li Chengqian's reputation plummeted, and Li Ke was dissatisfied by Li Shimin for this reason. Li Tai could reap the benefits of the fisherman and gain all the advantages in this battle for the crown prince.

"Come on." Li Yan took out the handwritten letter from the civil and military generals of the court. No matter whether Li Shimin was willing or not, he could not ignore it. He had to wave his hand and face Chang Tu who was serving him.

Chang Tu Deling took the Li Ke's handbook from Li Yan in front of everyone and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the handwritten book from Changtu's hand and slowly opened it. This moment also touched the hearts of countless people in the court.

"Father, Emperor Shengqi, son Li Ke Gongshu: After hearing that he was assassinated in Luzhou, he caused rumors to spread in the capital, saying that his son might be the assassinated by the crown prince, and the assassin came from the Eastern Palace. Although his son was not in Chang'an, he also felt that this statement was very wrong. He was actually a brother of the Tian family, and he must not be trusted. He knew the prince since he was young and was a companion when he was young. The prince and the prince were taken care of by his son ministers. The son still looked at him. We have a strong brotherhood, so how can we know the story of Cao Wei? We should observe this matter clearly and cleanly, so we should not make the prince's injustice and lose our reputation..."

Li Ke's name is handsome and elegant, unique, and it is pleasing to the eye, but Li Ke's meaning in his letter made Li Shimin extremely pleased.

The prince was unethical and said that there was no brother or brother, which made Li Shimin very disappointed. Fortunately, Li Ke finally realized the general idea. Not only did he not pursue Li Chengqian's guilt, he even sent a letter to clarify and plead for Li Chengqian, which was also a safeguard for his face.

In an instant, Li Shimin suddenly remembered Li Ke in his mind, and also recalled the scene when he first ascended the throne in the ninth year of Wude. In order to protect Guanzhong, Li Ke was proud of the Turkic campaign, and he couldn't help but feel a little more longing and heartache.

"Do you know what my son said in his letter?" Li Shimin raised the Li Ke's handwritten letter in his hand and asked everyone in the hall.

Since Li Shimin read Li Ke's handwritten book, Li Shimin's face has obviously become a little more contemptuous. No one in the court is a human being. Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, he has guessed a little in his heart. But who would guess Li Shimin's wishes at this time? So everyone kept silent.

After a while, Li Shimin saw that everyone was silent, so he said, "My son's letter said that the assassination of Luzhou this time was not as rumored. This letter is a memorial to my son to protect the prince. The brotherly love is deeply rooted on the paper."

Li Shimin's words fell, and there were already discussions under the hall. Some were surprised, some were relaxed, some were admired, some were unwilling to accept.

Perhaps the young prince Li Chengqian was somewhat grateful to escape from the disaster, but the old fox Changsun Wuji's face was already very ugly.

The prince and the King of Chu were compared and showed their superiority. This was not only the ministers, but also in the eyes of Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji knew very well that in today's situation, no matter how Li Ke did, he would not be able to move Li Chengqian as the crown prince and replace him. However, Li Ke chose the most suitable method, so he achieved the greatest benefit for himself, and invisibly belittled the crown prince again.

With just this move, Li Ke took advantage of it, and at this point, the battle for the reserve position finally changed positions.
