Chapter 536 Different sons take different paths

Looking at Li Shimin's sons, they all took different paths because of Li Xiang's arrival. First, the prince Li Chengqian was already a useless person, but now Li Shimin has done everything he has asked him to do, and there is more and more one. The decency of a prince.

The most important thing is that the thief has a quick mind. Now all the memorials are sent to the East Palace first, and are screened by Li Chengqian, and then sent to Li Shimin. At the beginning, Li Shimin was worried and asked Li Chengqian to annotate all the memorials before sending them. In the past, it has been nearly a year now, and Li Shimin does not have the time to take care of this. As long as it does not involve too big things, Li Shimin will delegate power to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian had this ability in the past, but because of his lameness and lack of confidence in his heart, he always felt that the emperor would destroy him. Of course, that did not mean that he himself thought that this was also possible. Now With Li Xiang supporting him, even if the emperor deposed Li Chengqian, would other princes dare to succeed him?

The king of Wei, Li Tai, and the king of Jin, Li Zhi, also started from the grassroots level. I originally thought that these two people were purely for saving face, but after a long period of observation, they both shined in their positions.

This comforted Li Shimin. All the sons he raised have become talents. This can indeed be boasted to others. Even some of his grandchildren regard Li Xiang as their role model, and they are slowly shining throughout the country. The only thing that makes people depressed is that That is Li Ke, King of Wu.

Li Shimin found an opportunity for King Wu Li Ke to lead troops, and also brought him the closest to challenging Li Xiang. He didn't expect that this guy would fail to live up to his expectations, and he was defeated in the north. After he came back, Li Shimin disliked this guy so much that he almost said a word Don't say anything.

Li Shimin did this very deliberately, thinking to suppress this guy to the lowest level, and then he would come to find him. When the time comes, he will know his shame and be brave, and he will definitely become a useful person. But he didn't expect that when he came to find him At that time, he did not ask for a post in Chang'an City, nor did he ask for a post in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital. This guy actually wanted to go to the Beiting Protectorate.

For the entire Tang Dynasty, the Protectorate's Palace was indeed very important, but no matter how important the Protector's Palace was, it could not be accompanied by a prince. The prince was more important to the entire Tang Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has a long-term vision and is willing to guard the northern border for this dynasty for generations. I admire you!"

Before Li Shimin could react, Changsun Wuji had already stepped forward. Changsun Wuji's status within the court had declined these days, but he was still the most powerful official. Who could let him be Li Shimin's uncle? He is still the prince's biological uncle. Even though the relationship with the emperor was not good some time ago, thinking about the future emperor and the prince's family's position in the court is still not bad.

The surrounding ministers heard what Changsun Wuji said, and they all stood up one after another. Changsun Wuji had always disliked King Wu Li Ke, and had always wanted to get this guy out of the capital, but there was no chance at all. Think about it. Historically, King Wu Li Ke also died in the hands of Changsun Wuji. Even if Li Xiang traveled through time, this grudge would probably not be resolved.

Changsun Wuji is the biological brother of Empress Changsun. Naturally, his heart is towards his nephews. Whether it is Li Chengqian or Li Tai, they are all his nephews. You two brothers can fight as much as you want. Even if you two brothers Both sides suffered losses in the fight, including Jin Wang Li Zhi below.

But if King Wu Li Ke joins in, Changsun Wuji will not have such a good temper. When Li Shimin met people before, he would say that this son is most like him. Others may not remember this, but Changsun Wuji clearly knows Chu, now that there is such an opportunity to keep Wu King Li Ke away from the core of the court, why doesn't he just follow the trend?

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he looked up at the ministers below. Although there were many people coming out, these people were not Li Shimin's confidants. If you want to achieve this, you must let Li Shimin's confidants come out and say a few words. The biggest blessing was Fang Xuanling standing opposite, but at this moment Fang Xuanling was as if he was wandering in space, with his eyes closed and silent.

In desperation, Changsun Wuji could only turn to Cheng Yaojin next to him. It is also good for you that King Wu Li Ke is not in the capital. Although King Li Ge of Wu turned to the side of the prince, he is still a prince after all. Prince, who knows what he is thinking? It will be very beneficial to your son-in-law to keep him away from the capital.

Cheng Yaojin was the shrewdest person. He had already seen the look in Changsun Wuji's eyes, but Cheng Yaojin had his own plans. What Li Shimin hated most was forming cliques for personal gain, especially among civil servants and military generals. Changsun Wuji too wanted to achieve success. In this matter, this opportunity was actually forgotten. If Cheng Yaojin stepped forward at this moment, then Li Shimin would probably start to be suspicious.

Everyone in the court had a hundred thoughts. After Li Shimin waited for all the ministers to finish speaking, he carefully observed the ministers who stood up and found that none of these people had deep foundations. They should be casually echoing Changsun Wuji. As for those big families and noble families, no one has expressed their stance yet.

"It's a good thing that you are willing to go to the border to experience it, and I am willing to let you go, but your mother's health has not been very good recently. As a son of a man, you should care about your mother's health. Let's discuss this matter later."

The matter of Concubine Yang's body has been brought up by Li Shimin several times. The ministers of the court have calluses on their ears. But Li Shimin is the emperor. We can only listen to what he wants to say. If we don't want to If so, then there probably won’t be any good fruits to eat.

Obviously, Li Shimin didn't want Wu Wang Li Ke to leave the capital, especially to the north where birds don't poop. Perhaps Li Shimin had other strategies in mind, that is, to continue to let Wu Wang Li Ke raise a big flag, but he had just left the grassland. It failed, so now is not a very good time.

Changsun Wuji's first test failed. Some civil servants and generals also knew Li Shimin's thoughts more or less. However, the position of Protector of the Beiting Protectorate really needs someone to fill it. Although he is the most useless of all the guardians at present, he still needs someone.

Suddenly Li Shimin thought of another person, his legitimate son Li Jue who was standing behind Li Chengqian.

This is Li Xiang's biological brother, but the relationship between the two is a bit playful...
