Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Li Ke, king of Wu, sat alone in the courtyard.

Feeling the cold wind blowing in late autumn, slowly drinking hot shochu.

In recent years, the crown prince and the king of Wei have been chasing after each other.

The momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

King Wei first stayed in Wude Hall.

Later, a literature museum was opened and Kuodizhi was compiled.

It was really a sight to behold, attracting too many people to seek refuge.

Li Shimin also gave many rewards.

Not to mention Prince Li Chengqian.

This time the Supreme Emperor died, and Li Shimin went to Xianling to observe his filial piety.

The prince finally had a taste of it.

Supervising the government, he was very powerful.

Demonstrated his status as the crown prince and prince.

In the past few years, it has been Li Qiu, the king of Peking who was born as a merchant.

It's all hot and powerful.

He became one of the most powerful ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

Around him, there are too many important characters gathered.

And it is different from the prince and Wei Wang.

Li Qiu still has a position in the army and the military power of an army of 10,000+.

This is something that even Prince Li Chengqian cannot compare with.

Before, when Li Chengqian was fighting with Li Qiu, and the East Palace was fighting with Furongyuan.

This is how Wu Wang Li Ke sat here quietly, watching a play while drinking wine.

Now Li Shimin has returned to Chang'an.

Wu Wang Li Ke is still like this, sitting quietly watching the play.

Besides, he has nothing else to do.

Since Xiao Yu bid farewell to the stage of power and passed away forever.

There were only a small number of courtiers gathered in Wu Wangfu.

Almost gone clean.

Even Li Ke knew it in his heart.

As a concubine, the situation has already passed.

However, his character is stubborn.

Even if everyone gave up on himself, Li Ke would never do such a thing.

For him who has so much time, all the free time.

They are all used in things like buying good horses, treasured swords, armor, and attracting strange people.

Moreover, the progress of his purchase and recruitment of strange people is extremely slow.

Just like buying crickets, the group of dandy nobles who fight cocks and dogs are no different.

Naturally, it will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Everyone already knew that Li Ke loved treasured swords and famous horses since he was a child.

The Azure Dragon Sword that Li Qiu got back then was also collected by Li Ke with great effort and dedicated to Li Shimin.

Over time, in the mansion of Wu Wang Li Ke, hundreds of strange people with outstanding martial arts gathered.

At the same time, Quan Wanji kept selecting elite assassins on the side of Qi Wang Li You.

Sent to Chang'an and Li Ke's side.

Perhaps this is also Li Ke's last stubbornness.

Use this as a reminder to yourself.

For the throne, he will never give up!

……

At the same time, in Wei Wangfu.

Cen Wenwen and Wei Wang had an urgent meeting.

Seeing the slightly anxious expression on Cen Wenwen's face, Wei Wang Li Tai also hurriedly asked with concern: "Teacher, you are Zhongshuling."

"Father has just returned to the palace now."

"Why did you come to me at this time?"

Cen Wenwen let out a sigh of relief at this moment, "Your Highness, you are outside the court today."

"Have you ever heard about your Majesty's treatment of Changsun Wuji?"

Wei Wang Li Tai naturally nodded, and then asked seriously: "Teacher, the students know about this."

"Like everyone else, it's a big puzzle."

"In my impression, father has never treated uncle like this."

"Presumably, teacher, you have already guessed what?"

Cen Wenwen sighed softly at this moment, "The reason for this is not difficult to guess."

"My Tang Dynasty is now in the stage of the transfer of imperial power and the determination of the position of the crown prince."

"Everything His Majesty does is naturally closely related to the future of Datang."

Chapter 933 Xiuzhu

Outside the city today, His Majesty treated Changsun Wuji like this. "

"Obviously it was meant to convey a signal."

"During the period when the crown prince supervised the country, His Majesty was very dissatisfied with eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and me."

"As for the reason for the dissatisfaction, I can probably guess it."

"It must have something to do with Peking King Li Qiu mobilizing [-] Youzhou troops to Tubo."

"No matter what Li Chengqian himself did or how big a mistake he made."

"It caused much dissatisfaction among the courtiers."

"But as long as he sits in the position of the prince and supervisor of the government."

"As a subject, one must assist the monarch well."

"This is the duty of a courtier, and it is also the bottom line of His Majesty's heart and imperial power."

"On the other hand, this time we helped Li Qiu hide the crown prince."

"As a result, the imperial court's [-] elite troops traveled thousands of miles from Youzhou to Tubo."

"And the prince who oversees the government doesn't even know about it."

"How can you be satisfied with this kind of thing from His Majesty's standpoint?"

"So this time, His Majesty's beating on us is inevitable."

"Today outside the city, Changsun Wuji was the first to be operated on, which already shows His Majesty's intentions."

"Even Changsun Wuji can be treated like this, how can the rest of the people dare to say anything?"

Speaking of this, Cen Wenwen sighed lightly, and then said to King Wei solemnly: "So, your Highness, from today on."

"You must tell the people below."

"Be careful when you act and speak."

"Don't make trouble."

"It's the minister, it's inevitable to be punished by His Majesty this time."

"I just pray that it will not be too heavy. It is a blessing to keep this book order."

"Otherwise, for His Royal Highness and our Wei Palace, this time the blow will be too great."

Listening to his words, an unbelievable expression appeared on Wei Wang Li Tai's face.

The meaning is obvious: How big of a deal is this, so that the emperor can be so responsible to you, the teacher?

But Cen Wenwen waved his hands, and after a few more simple explanations, he hurried back to the imperial city.

In the morning, it passed in such a hurry.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are behind the prince.

I also met Princess Youle, Princess Gaoyang, and many princes.

After Li Shimin rested for a while, he hurried back to the imperial study and began to deal with government affairs.

As for Empress Changsun, it was also after dismissing Princess Gaoyang and Princess Youle.

I want to rest for a while by myself.

But at this moment, when the noise of the crowd dispersed.

After the Lizheng Palace returned to tranquility, Empress Changsun always felt faintly uncomfortable in her heart.

uneasy……

Of course, there is a lack of Xu De, a large part of the reason.

But there are still others.

The first is Wang Gui.

In the past, when he was working beside Li Shimin, Empress Changsun had only a moderate impression of him.

Can't talk about good or bad.

Seeing him walking around the Lizheng Palace now, Empress Changsun always feels uncomfortable when she sees him.

In addition, although the Lizheng Palace is basically the same people as before.

But there are still a few new faces.

These newcomers are naturally the confidantes of Prince Li Chengqian and Wang Gui'an in the Lizheng Hall.

Its purpose, self-evident, is to strictly guard against death.

Avoid leaking a few words about Xu De from the former Lizheng Palace.

Among them, there is a court lady, Xiuzhu.

As mentioned in the previous article, this Xiuzhu is a confidant who was discovered in the Eastern Palace.

His family background is simple, that of ordinary people.

But he has a pungent nature and is very powerful.

When Yixin sent her to the side of Crown Princess Su to monitor the Crown Princess.

This incomparably powerful Xiuzhu, as a court lady, was about to climb on top of the Crown Princess.

Later, when it developed, he would offend the superior at every turn, accusing and reprimanding the princess.

As for the Crown Princess and the people in the East Palace, they were hindered by Xin Xin's ruthlessness and Xiu Zhu's power.

He dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

This time, Xiuzhu was brought to the Lizheng Palace.

The most important aspect is that Prince Li Chengqian can't bear to see Xiuzhu's arrogance and domineering.
