Tiantang Splendid

Since the first meeting, he has been full of affection for Princess Jinyang, a beautiful and natural girl, and feels pity for her sickness since she was a child.After marrying Princess Gaoyang, Jin Yang became his sister-in-law, and the closer the relationship with him, the stronger the affection.

In history, this little princess who was favored by His Majesty Li Er, Empress Changsun, and even all the brothers and sisters, and court officials died of illness before she could reach her age. Pamper.

There is absolutely no blasphemy in the heart.

It's just that although his own feelings are pure and limited to courtesy, a little girl has been cared for meticulously since she was a child, and she is spoiled almost without a bottom line, and she is such a man who is gentle and capable, and has outstanding abilities. Somewhat evolved from admiration...

But Fang Jun never coveted Princess Jinyang's closeness to him, after all, Princess Jinyang is completely different from Princess Changle.

It is impossible for him to do anything to a little girl, after all, in his previous memory, this was the beginning of ten years...

But it is undeniable that Princess Jinyang's repeated refusal to marry is definitely because of him.

So at this moment, facing Li Tai's question, he could only smile bitterly: "I once whipped a famous horse because I was drunk, for fear that I would be too sentimental to attract beautiful women... I am a humble minister with both civil and military skills and a handsome appearance, so I am favored by many women. What can I do?"

"Pooh!"

Li Tai was furious: "How shameless? Are you saying that Sizi is self-indulgent?"

Fang Jun sighed and said: "My minister has never overstepped in the slightest in front of His Highness Jinyang, and he has always loved her as his own sister, without any affection between men and women, but His Royal Highness Jinyang has a delicate mind and a new love, what can I do? Instead of condemning the humble official here, it is better to think about how to persuade His Highness Jinyang."

Speaking of this topic, he was also depressed. If it is really because of his relationship that Princess Jinyang's love is deeply rooted and the marriage is not harmonious in the rest of his life, how can he feel at ease?

Drank the wine in the glass, threw the wine glass on the table, got up and said: "The wine is more worrying, so I won't drink it."

Went to the side, washed his hands and face with warm water, sat there to wipe off his sweat, then put on a big cloak, pushed the door and went out, followed the steps down the tower, passed through the open space between the two gates, and returned to the city. In Xuanwumen's residence, take off your clothes and lie on the bed.

I had so many thoughts all at once that it was difficult to fall asleep.

*****
When the news that Wei Wang Li Tai was about to take up the post of stay in Taiyuan, the ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

Everyone knows that His Majesty's reserve position was not stable at the beginning, and he faced being deposed several times. Among them, the person who participated in the most fierce battle for the reserve position and was once the closest to the reserve position was Wei Wang Li Tai, who was a compatriot with His Majesty's mother.

Even for a period of time, everyone in the government and the public almost believed that Wei King Li Tai would definitely replace Li Chengqian as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Without Fang Jun's strong support, Li Chengqian would have been almost certain to be deposed. Therefore, even now Li Chengqian has secured the throne and defeated Guan Long and Jin twice in a row. King Wei launched a mutiny, but the foundation of Wei King Li Tai remained.

Now that Li Tai is appointed to stay behind in Luoyang, isn't he afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?
Even if His Majesty is magnanimous and benevolent, he can't make trouble for himself, can he?

Even if few people know that the imperial court intends to build Luoyang as the eastern capital, Luoyang's economic prosperity, large population, and geographical advantages are obvious to all. Once the King of Wei gains a firm foothold there, there will inevitably be countless people who are dissatisfied with Li Chengqian They flocked to support Wei Wang to usurp the throne.

Until now, Li Chengqian can control the Guanzhong and Western Regions. There are not many troops in Guandong, Shandong and other places, and Jiangnan can only rely on the deterrence of the navy. Although the powerful families in these places have just suffered heavy losses, if they want to rise up Wei Wang, but it is not difficult.

In addition, not all those who are dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne will support Wei Wang Li Tai, and some people will even assassinate Li Tai to frame Li Chengqian—since the person who poses the greatest threat to his throne is released, it is hoped that Li Tai will be completely cut off after being assassinated Is this a serious problem?
When Li Tairuo is really assassinated, no one will be able to tell whether someone put the blame on Li Chengqian, or Li Chengqian set the blame on others...

……

Inside the side hall, Li Chengqian and Li Tai sat opposite each other in front of the window, snow powder was flying outside the window, the trees, rockeries, and palace walls in the imperial court were covered with a layer of white snow, and the tea table was full of tea fragrance and hot air.

Li Tai took a sip of tea and rubbed his forehead. The discomfort of the hangover made him exhale and closed his eyes. Fight, but as I drank, I found that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, his energy was getting better and better, and he was drinking faster and faster... Mother!"

Today, there are only a handful of people in the world who can swear in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian pretended not to hear, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Aren't you asking for trouble? There are countless people who see Erlang's displeasure. I don't know how many people want to pinch him at the wine table. In the end, Erlang swayed all over the place, and none of them The failure, the provocateurs returned one after another, which made Erlang gain a great reputation on the wine table, but you are not convinced."

He personally held the pot and poured tea for Li Tai, but Li Tai hurriedly covered it with his hands, and said panickedly: "I'll come, I'll come, how dare you pretend to be Your Majesty pouring tea..."

Li Chengqian smiled and pushed Li Tai's hand away: "In the court, you and I belong to the monarch and ministers, and the etiquette cannot be broken, but in private, you and I are brothers and sisters. What's the big deal about pouring tea? You know I have always Don't pay attention to those red tapes, just be more comfortable."

Li Tai had no choice but to suffer, and said with a wry smile: "It's impossible to be comfortable at ease. At the latest, I'm sore from drinking and have a splitting headache. When I turn back, I have to find an imperial doctor to prescribe an anti-alcohol medicine."

Li Chengqian put down the teapot, with a deep meaning: "Sometimes people can't recognize themselves for no reason. They know that their abilities are limited, but they always feel that they can break through the shackles. They want to challenge things that they know they can't do. When they hit the south wall, they will bleed." Only then did I suddenly wake up, but it was too late to regret it, Qingque should take it as a warning."

"Ha ha……"

Li Tai squeezed out a smile, took a sip of tea, and said with a wry smile, "It's Fang Er's fault, that guy deliberately set up a banquet to lure me into the trap, making me have an unrealistic fantasy that I can fight against him, wait for me After entering the set, another blow from the wind and rain will make me feel ashamed, this kid is bad."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The heart is in yourself, if you don't have it, who can do it?"

Outside the window, the wind and snow were blowing, and the inside of the hall was as warm as spring, with hot tea pouring into his throat, Li Tai was sweating a little...

With a strong smile, he said: "Eat a pit, gain a wisdom, if you should be humble, you will be humble, and you will never show your power again, and you will make yourself uncomfortable in the end."

"You don't have to be like this, Qingque. Who still makes mistakes every time and makes mistakes in calculations? There is nothing better than knowing a mistake and correcting it. Your homework is better than mine since you were young. You should understand this truth."

"Understood, understood, my younger brother is no longer a child who has never done anything, so he naturally understands this truth. Don't worry, Your Majesty will never do it again."

The two brothers drank tea and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually improved.

Li Chengqian sighed, and his face was a bit tangled: "Erlang advised you to be the left guard in Luoyang. In fact, I didn't agree with it at the beginning. Our two brothers got straight to the point, and there are still many people who are dissatisfied with my ascension to the throne. These people are almost desperate and desperate, but they may not give up. You are my younger brother, if something happens to you, I don’t know how much dirty water will be poured on me... But there are only thieves for a thousand days, how can there be a thousand days to guard against thieves I can't just keep you in this Taiji Palace forever without seeing the light of day, can I? So it's up to you to decide whether you will be left behind in Luoyang this time."

These words really came from the heart, and I have been struggling with this for the past two days.

If Li Tai is not allowed to go out, not only Li Tai himself will feel resentful, but the outside world will also say that he has locked up his younger brother and abused his siblings.Let Li Tai go out, once something happens, no matter whether he did it or not, it will be difficult to get rid of the infamy of "killing siblings, being cruel and tyrannical".

So he gave Li Tai the right to make the decision, and let Li Tai make his own choice.

In this way, even if something really happened, he, the emperor, can still have a clear conscience...

Li Tai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this, I would like to go to Luoyang. I naturally know that there are dangers in it, but if it is compared to being imprisoned in Chang'an, it is better to die outside... In the past, I was not determined enough Resolute, I did some wrong things under the instigation of others, but fortunately I got back from the wrong path, I never made a big mistake, and I will definitely not go astray in the future, loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of people.”

When he was most likely to compete for the reserve, almost half of the court was inclined to him. In the end, because he understood that Emperor Taizong would not pass on to him and cause brotherhood, he retreated bravely and gave up fighting for the reserve.

Today, he has completely lost his foundation, so what else can he use to fight for this position?
Hibernating honestly, no matter how the situation changes, he will be a "subordinate brother" obediently. If Li Chengqian has any shortcomings, he will even work hard to ensure that the throne is passed to Li Chengqian's son, so that he, the "imperial uncle", can be his wife Peaceful, safe and stable, otherwise if any brother comes to power, he, the second son of Emperor Taizong, will suffer...

So even for himself, he has to be a great loyal minister.

Li Chengqian glanced at the snow outside the window, and his tone was a little lonely: "Father is brilliant, powerful, and talented. Back then, he fought back and swept away the heroes. Only after several bloody battles did we leave this picturesque country. Our brothers did not help Father. , but because of blood, we can sit on this huge family business. We must love each other and work together to carry forward this family business. Otherwise, writing a sentence on the bluestone in the future will not only lose our face , will also damage the reputation of the father."

That being said, he really thought so.
