Speaking of Li Tai, Li Shimin smiled even more and said, "I asked Qingque to study with Li Mu, and I did it right. Qingque is a scholarly person, and his writings, poetry and essays are all the best. But it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant. I used to worry that he was too empty and could not do practical things. But now it seems that I am too worried. Qingque is capable of doing things and is deeply loved by me."

Suddenly, Li Shimin realized something. Before Eunuch Gao said it, he smiled bitterly: "I realized the problem. It was not that the auxiliary machine changed, but that I changed. My thoughts changed, and my perspective on the problem changed, so I couldn't listen to the auxiliary machine..."

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said, "High-ranking official, do you still remember the thing that Li Mu once proposed?"

Eunuch Gao changed his mind and thought of what Li Shimin said, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden sudden feeling. Has Your Majesty already made up his mind?

"A good minister who follows me to conquer the world," Li Shimin said carefully, "It's not bad, nor is it incapable. It's just that their ideas have been somewhat solidified. For example, Wei Zheng, this old guy has been picking faults all day long, and I admit that the faults he has picked does exist. But the problem is, you give a solution? He can't even give a solution, but he can't give a solution. Wouldn't it just addictive and annoying?"

"Your Majesty is right, isn't that the case?" Eunuch Gao knew what he should do at this time. The most important thing for a good supporting actor was to observe his words and express his feelings and hold him up at the right time. As for whether the emperor said that he was right to get the final say, it was not his business.

"And..." Li Shimin pondered for a while, sneered, and said, "You are like my shadow, and I don't hide my thoughts from you. Before ascending the throne, I felt that these people who fought with me were the same as me. But after I ascended the throne, I slowly discovered that each of them had his own plans in their hearts. Even my brother-in-law seemed to protect me in everything, but his mind was not simple. Is it really what he wanted to protect? When he was young, it might be. But now, what he wants to protect is the Changsun family behind him and the nobles in Longyou!"

"I understand why I don't like to listen to what he said. Because I can feel that his mind is not for me, his position is not for the country, nor for the court, but for the prosperity of his Changsun family in the next hundred years!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "The people I need are those who put loyalty to the emperor and patriotism before the interests of the family. Only such people, their ideas and practices, are truly for this country."

"I want to train a group of such people!" Li Shimin's eyes burst out and he ordered Eunuch Gao: "Gao Guan, pass on my orders and summon Qingque and Ma [youyou Reading      www.uutxt.co] Zhou and Changsun Chong and the other two discussed in the court, and Tai Chi Palace met me."

"No." Eunuch Gao responded solemnly. Although Ma Zhou was still in Luoyang at this time, there were flying pigeons sending letters and Chi Dao there. After tomorrow's negotiation, it was more than enough time.

...

Ma Zhou received a letter from Chang'an from Fei Ge late at night, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself. In this world, there was no clearer than him. What it means to call him to Chang'an at this time. It was not that he had predicted beforehand, but that Li Mu had talked to him once when he left Luoyang and went to Yangzhou. During that conversation, Li Mu promised that if he did things in Luoyang well, he would have a bright future.

However, Li Mu did not explain how great this future was. It was not until the Chinese New Year that Ma Zhou wrote a New Year greeting post to Li Mu according to the etiquette and received a reply letter that the doubt was resolved. In the letter, Li Mu told Ma Zhou about the "cabinet" he mentioned to Li Shimin, and told him that if one day he received a letter from Chang'an and urgently summoned him to return to Chang'an to meet the saint, it was probably for this matter.

The letter told Ma Zhou that if he received a letter from Fei Ge, he would send him a letter from Fei Ge. Then he could return to Chang'an first, and then hand over the matters in Luoyang City after His Majesty arranged it. After all the matters in Luoyang City were handed over, the two of them would have nothing to do. When Ma Zhou was doing things again, if he encountered something involving him, Li Mu, he would not have to recite any old feelings and handle it impartially.

The letter also advised Ma Zhou that if you want to go to Chang'an, if you want to be a good official and show your ambitions, remember not to get too close to any faction. You must be an isolated minister or a straight minister. As long as the starting point is for the country and country of the Tang Dynasty, you have no selfish thoughts, you can rise to the top and soar. Even if you take over the power of the prime minister in the future, it is not impossible.

At the end of the letter, Li Mu reminded Ma Zhou not to forget to burn the letters he had communicated with. Of course, Ma Zhou could not destroy it, but this might harm him. Ma Zhou couldn't figure out why it would harm him. Could it be that Li Mu would rebel one day in the future? But Ma Zhou still decided to believe Li Mu, so the first thing he did after receiving the letters he communicated with Li Mu was to burn all the letters he communicated with Li Mu. Then he packed his luggage, rode the carriage that was riding the road overnight, and returned to Chang'an.

When he arrived in Chang'an, the gate of Chang'an City had not opened. Ma Zhou waited for half an hour before entering Chang'an City. When he saw the little eunuch sent by Eunuch Gao to pick him up, he led him around Liangyi Hall and came outside the Taiji Hall to wait outside the Taiji Hall, and the court just dispersed. Soon, Li Shimin rushed to the gate of Taiji Palace, and Ma Zhou quickly bowed and bowed.

He didn't look up and could not see Li Shimin's expression, but he could feel that His Majesty was in a bad mood today. Ma Zhou held his breath and did not dare to speak, for fear that his breath would be wrong and would make Li Shimin unhappy.

After a long time, Ma Zhou, who was standing at the door, was neither leaving nor staying, and was anxious. At this moment, Ma Zhou heard footsteps around him, and secretly looked up and two old acquaintances came. One was King of Wei Li Tai, and the other was Changsun Chong, the current president of Datang Bank. The two were led by the little eunuch and came to Ma Zhou. The three of them looked at each other and were all looking down honestly. Obviously, they were a little confused. They didn't know what Li Shimin called them to come.

As time passed, the three of them stood a little numb. But they didn't dare to move, so they had to move their ankles a little, fearing that they would be discovered by the little eunuch next to them.

Suddenly, the palace gate creaked, and Eunuch Gao walked out of the inside, looked at the three of them, saluted Li Tai first, and then said, "Your Majesty has an order, and you three will meet."

The three responded, led by Li Tai, followed by Changsun Chong, and Ma Zhou at the end, and entered Tai Chi Palace together.

Li Shimin was still angry, but when he saw Li Tai, his face cleared a little and nodded to Eunuch Gao. The little eunuch took three Jinduns, and the three of them thanked each other and sat down.

"Do you know why I am so angry today?" Li Shimin said without waiting for them to answer. "I want to follow Emperor Gaozu of Han, and ordered the royal family and meritorious officials to guard and enfeoff the country and inherit it from generation to generation. No one in the court's civil and military officials opposed it. Only the old man Wei Zheng called me a foolish monarch and did not give me any face. I really deserve to kill him!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I should have killed him long ago!"

The three of them dared not speak. In theory, Li Shimin had already said it very clearly and had a clear hint. Just take the emperor's position and denounced Wei Zheng directly. But after all, it was Wei Zheng. In addition to losing to Li Mu, the civil and military officials of the court, including Li Shimin, had never lost. In terms of his previous record, everything that Wei Zheng and Li Shimin had a dispute over him was ultimately compromised. This time, since Wei Zheng took the blame for the world, he expressed his opinions on the issue of feudal division and made the emperor so angry. This matter must not be given up, and there will be a follow-up.

If you stand on the stance now, the emperor will eventually become timid. Wouldn't it be unpleasant to both inside and outside?

Li Tai did not speak out because he was the King of Qin and was one of the parties involved. If he agreed or disagreed, he would be criticized. If he did not agree, he would make his relatives unhappy. If he agreed, he would be suspicious of asking for a title for himself. More importantly, Li Tai did not need to get involved in this matter at all. He was the prince and the legitimate son. Li Shimin would not leave him behind without any cedes, so unless he was stupid, he would definitely not do such a thankless thing.

Seeing that the three of them didn't say anything, Li Shimin looked over, stared at Li Tai, and said, "Since you three are here, let's express your opinions. Today, the speakers are not guilty. No matter what you say, I will not be punished, nor will I fall into the ears of others. Qingque, come on, I want to hear my son, what does it think about this matter."

"Father..." Li Tai opened his mouth and saw Li Shimin's eyes. He could only smile bitterly. Seeing this look, he knew that no matter how unwilling he was to get involved, he had to express his opinions. Since that was the case, he would say whatever he thought in his heart. Thinking of this, Li Tai said, "Father, I am involved in the matter of franchise. I should not say much, but since the father asked, the son minister put aside his identity as a prince and talked a few words in a brief manner."

"My son thinks that it is right to divide the feudals, but power must be restricted. Whether it is a vassal king or a serious official, it cannot be superior to the officials of the court. If privileges are given, where will the Tang Dynasty be placed? What I want to remind my father is this, and I hope the father will think twice."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Qingque is right, the rule of the Tang Dynasty cannot be shaken. I am showing kindness to the important ministers of the royal family, not to give them special examples to make them domineering." He moved his eyes to Changsun Chong and said, "Cheng'er, what do you think about this, but it's okay!"

Changsun cried up and said respectfully: "In my opinion, this is the family affairs of Your Majesty, and we should not say much..."

Li Shimin said irritably: "No need to say this sentence. Since I asked you to speak, you just say it. You can say anything more than anything, hurry up!"

"I also thought of one thing, and wanted to remind Your Majesty. Assuming that the ban is implemented,
