Chapter 408: Ginger is old and spicy
Of course, others can't understand Li Hao's words, but Li Zhi understands, Li Zhi believes in Li Hao, as long as Li Hao says that he succeeds, then he must have succeeded in convincing his father, as for when his father will make a decision, it can only depend on Li Shimin's mind.
Li Zhi thought that he would wait for a while, but he didn't expect that early the next morning, Li Shimin summoned his ministers, personally came to Chengtianmen to issue an edict, announced to the world, set up the ninth prince Li Zhi as the crown prince, and named Wei Zheng as the prince, and taught Li Zhi that every time the court meeting, the prince Li Zhi must accompany the holy car to participate in political affairs, and at the same time Li Shimin also issued an order to let Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, go to their respective fiefdoms within ten days.
This news shocked the people of the whole country, it was too sudden, there was no little wind in advance, Li Shimin suddenly set up the crown prince, not the king of Wei, nor the king of Wu, but the king of Jin Li Zhi, who had been ignored, which shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
The person who can't accept this result the most is Li Tai, the king of Wei, this fat man thought that he was firmly seated as the crown prince, but he didn't expect that the dark horse of Li Zhi suddenly appeared, and this time Li Shimin didn't give him any chance to turn the tables, and directly ordered him to go to the official, he couldn't accept this reality, he smashed everywhere in the palace, and saw what he smashed, but because he was too fat, he only smashed a few vases and gasped.
"Why! Why Li Zhi! He's just a stinky boy who doesn't know anything, why should he be a prince! The crown prince should be mine! It's mine...... Woowoo...... It's my ......" Li Tai, who has never drunk much, got drunk today, sat on the ground, and cried like a two-hundred-pound child, but no one dared to persuade him, let alone help him, and if anyone approached, he would beat him.
In the middle of the night, the eldest grandson Wuji climbed the city tower at night, overlooking Chang'an City under the dark night, his heart was full of thoughts, he looked up at the bright moon, thinking of today's Li Chu, he couldn't help but sigh: "I am really old, I lost to a young junior." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji gently hit the battlements with his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "It's my carelessness, although I guessed that Li Hao would support King Jin before, but King Jin is really too inconspicuous...... It's too mediocre, but it's such a mediocre King of Jin, Li Hao actually won the crown prince for him...... How the hell did he do it......"
"Your Majesty, when he established the prince today, was decisive and resolute, which is too abnormal, and it is obvious that he has heard something...... What did Li Hao say to him, which made his heart suddenly become so firm......"
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart was full of doubts, he had to admire Li Hao's methods, although above the court, his eldest grandson Wuji had the closest relationship with Li Shimin, and Li Shimin also trusted him the most, but he was self-aware, and in the matter of establishing a prince, what he said was only for reference to Li Shimin, and it could not reach the level of swaying Li Shimin's mind, but Li Hao did it.
With infinite doubts, the eldest grandson Wuji slowly walked down the city tower, he had decided that he would go to see Li Shimin tomorrow no matter what, and asked him why this was and why he suddenly made Li Zhi the crown prince.
Early the next morning, the eldest grandson Wuji went to the Ganlu Hall to ask to see Li Shimin, and entered the hall to take a look, heh! There are many people here, and it is obvious that they have the same purpose as the eldest grandson Wuji, they are all here to inquire about the establishment of the prince, and they are also full of doubts about Li Shimin's appointment of Li Zhi as the crown prince.
This group of ministers has been asking until now, Li Shimin has not answered them positively, because he is waiting for someone, waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji, he knows that the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely come to ask, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji is coming, Li Shimin finally gave an answer: "Only by making Li Zhi the crown prince can the lives of other princes be preserved." With that, he left, leaving a group of ministers here to look at each other.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he secretly sighed that Li Hao's trick was really powerful, and he actually persuaded Li Shimin from this point, but he thought about it carefully and felt that there was a problem, it was a scandal for the princes to dump each other, how could Li Hao have the courage to say it to Li Shimin, even the eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to say nonsense.
So the eldest grandson Wuji went back for the time being, and waited until the afternoon, and came to see Li Shimin again, this time there were no other ministers present, and Li Shimin saw the eldest grandson Wuji alone in the Ganlu Palace.
After meeting and saluting, Li Shimin sighed faintly: "Auxiliary, I know that you strongly recommend Qingque as the prince, but Qingque is really not the best candidate for the prince." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, is the King of Jin better than the King of Wei?" ”
Li Shimin sighed again: "If you talk about talent and learning, the young slave is definitely far inferior to Qingque, but it is useless to be the prince and take over the throne by relying on talent alone." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, if you are more decisive than political affairs, the King of Jin is far inferior to the King of Wei." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said in a long voice: "But the young slave loves the people, which is far beyond the Qingque. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "How does Your Majesty know that Qingque loves the people?" ”
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I'll tell you the truth, at noon the day before yesterday, when I was in Taibai Building, I suddenly heard someone in the next room talking about the candidate for the prince, and commented on Li Tai, Li Ke and Li Zhi, do you know how they commented?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji asked curiously: "I don't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin said all the words he heard that day, the eldest grandson Wuji was dumbfounded after listening to it, he finally knew why Li Shimin resolutely chose Li Zhi as the prince, it turned out that it was all because of the words he heard in the restaurant, the eldest grandson Wuji carefully recalled these words, and sighed secretly, these words exposed all the shortcomings of Li Tai, the king of Wei and Li Ke, the king of Wu, and magnified the shortcomings of the two of them, as for Li Zhi, the shortcomings were beautified into advantages, and there was a reputation for loving the people, and most importantly, This way of persuading Li Shimin is really wonderful, making Li Shimin think that he has overheard the voice of the people, so that Li Shimin will not have any sense of resistance, which makes the eldest grandson Wuji sigh to himself.
After listening to Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji was even more sure that this was Li Hao making trouble, and it was definitely Li Hao who deliberately directed a scene for Li Shimin to listen to.
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes rolled, and he quickly found a loophole in Li Hao, and then arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although the minister has not been to Taibai Building, I have also heard that each room in Taibai Building has a separate wall, so the sound of the next room cannot be heard between each room, how did Your Majesty hear someone talking in the next room?" ”
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and thought about it, he didn't think it was strange if the eldest grandson Wuji didn't mention it, after he mentioned it, he immediately found something strange, every time he went to Taibai Building to eat, he never heard any sound next door, not that there was no one next door, because every time they went to Taibai Building, Jin Wuwei would first check whether there was anyone in the private room next to him, several times, there were many people eating in room No. 4, but he was in room No. 5, but he never heard any sound.
"Auxiliary, what do you mean......" Li Shimin frowned and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suspects that the conversation you heard in Taibai Building this time may have been deliberately arranged by someone. ”
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, if someone deliberately arranged it, then who else could it be, it must be Li Hao, the owner of Taibai Building.
Li Shimin's face changed several times in a row, and he slowly spoke: "I know, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, you should retreat first." ”
"Yes! The minister retired. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji withdrew from the Ganlu Palace, raised his head and exhaled, sneering and muttering to himself: "Li Hao, do you think you have succeeded, hum, don't be too complacent, the old man will not give up easily, Jiang ...... It's still old and spicy! ”
