"My sister's purpose is to let the fourth brother leave and let brother Li Zhi stay in the palace?" Xiaowu blinked and listened to her sister's analysis seriously.
"Yes." Princess Chengyang said with a smile, "Don't go out and talk about these things, especially if your husband doesn't know about it. If he knows that we have such thoughts, he might not take her in."
"Sister, you are really powerful. You can calculate everything. But why do you want to help brother Li Zhi? I feel like he is stupid."
"Keke... I just need a stupid younger brother. We women must be attached to men. Without men, we can't do anything well. Even if we can be considered exhaustive, in the end we are just making wedding clothes for men.
of."
Xiao Wu pouted, a little dissatisfied: "Why do you have to rely more on men? Xiao Wu doesn't want to rely on men, because I don't want to rely on Brother Bai, and I also think that Brother Bai will rely on me in the future, so that I can repay the favor.
"
"You are still young. You will know when you grow up. In this world, it is difficult for women to do many things."
…
Li Tai finally left Beiding Palace quietly.
When Bai Song heard the news, he got up and came to see the guests. He found that there was no one in the living room, only a pot of tea was still steaming.
Then he walked to the door and asked, only to find out that Li Tai said he was in an emergency and left first.
This is Li Tai's character. He only needs to provide help when needed, not the icing on the cake.
Since there is already a Jin King in the Beiding Palace, it is absolutely impossible for him, the Wei King, to show his goodwill again.
For Li Tai, this was a particularly shameless thing.
Returning to the Prince's Mansion, the counselor came up and asked: "Your Highness, is the trip to Beiding Prince's Mansion going smoothly?"
"Smooth? Smooth as hell!"
Li Tai threw the tea cup to the ground angrily, "What news do you have? Li Zhi is already in the Beiding Palace. It seems that he is a familiar guest in the Beiding Palace. Bai Song has already chosen someone. Isn't it intentional for me to go there again?"
Embarrassing people?”
"Your Highness, today is different from the past. The Beiding Palace is very powerful. If you want to have a foothold in Chang'an, you can't bypass the Beiding Palace. Even if you already have Li Zhi, he is still young and is not enough to achieve anything.
.If the Beiding Palace wants to take sides, it must be on His Highness’s side.”
"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. I will not do such a thing! I don't believe it. There are so many civil and military people in the dynasty, and they can't accomplish anything if they leave the palace of Beiding."
"Your Highness..."
"Stop talking!"
Li Tai doesn't have that much patience. He has just returned to Chang'an and still has a lot of things to do. He can't just waste time on the Beiding Palace.
Li Tai's next stop is the East Palace.
Since you are here to compete for position, you have to go to the door to issue a letter of war. As a general, this is an indispensable etiquette.
More importantly, I would like to take this opportunity to see what kind of miserable image the Crown Prince, who was favored by thousands of people at the time, looks like now.
Compared to the past, that picture must be very exciting, right?
Thinking about it, Li Tai changed his route when he went out and headed in the direction of the East Palace.
But they didn't go far and met Princess Danyang's carriage halfway.
"Your Highness, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Princess Danyang?" Li Tai frowned. He didn't have the same respect for his aunt as his elder brother. In Li Tai's heart, she was just a woman who was carefree.
"I heard that His Highness returned to Chang'an, and I came here specially to see you."
"What do I have to see? Princess Danyang hasn't gone to look at the East Palace yet."
Li Tai said with a sneer.
Princess Danyang had stopped at this moment, got out of the car with a big belly, and got off Li Tai.
He really didn't expect Princess Danyang to walk around with a big belly!
Princess Danyang stretched out her hand, and Li Tai, a junior, hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Princess Danyang looked at Li Tai and smiled softly: "You, I haven't liked me since I was a child, but I see you still know the rules so well. You also follow the rules too much and follow them everywhere. You will definitely suffer in the future."
Li Tai felt a little awkward and whispered: "The princess is pregnant, why is she walking around?"
"What can we do? Nowadays, the Beiding Palace in Chang'an is the only one in the family. Li Zhi is young and joins the Beiding Palace. I am afraid that he will be controlled by the Beiding Palace in the long run. I also want to protect myself and improve the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Continue to be solid, and only rush here and there as a last resort.”
"Is the princess being too alarmist?"
"Your Highness the Fourth Highness doesn't understand the situation in Beijing. I won't tell you what you are thinking about coming back in such a hurry. Everyone knows it, but I am worried that you will use your thoughts in the wrong direction and cause harm to your family and cause harm to everyone.
Outsiders took advantage."
"..." Li Tai was silent and hesitated for a while before saying, "Princess, you mean the Prince's Palace in Beiding?"
"Chengqian's condition is not as good as before. The emperor will definitely feel grudges when he finds out. As long as the crown prince is re-elected, it will definitely be His Highness the Fourth Prince. But if the Beiding Palace blocks it now, who will be the enemy then?"
After listening to this, Li Tai's expression gradually darkened.
He had thought about this, but he didn't take it to heart until it was verified by others.
The same thing was said by Princess Danyang, which gave Li Tai a sense of crisis.
The current strength of the Beiding Palace can really influence the father's decision.
Looking at the Beiding Palace taking in Li Zhi, his heart is to be punished.
It must be that Li Zhi is young and controllable, so that he can take over the affairs of the emperor in the future!
Li Tai was born in the military and was imbued with righteousness. His temper was a bit irritable, but he knew what the right path was.
In the struggle for imperial power, it would be fine no matter how the prince fought before, but if a person with a foreign surname wants to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, then he has touched his inverse scale.
This is certainly not allowed.
If the Beiding Palace has the intention to control the prince, the consequences will be disastrous.
"No! The behavior of the Beiding Palace is too dangerous! I want to report it to my father so that he can take precautions as soon as possible."
Princess Danyang was happy when she heard this and said with a smile: "The Fourth Highness is indeed still a child. If such a matter can be intervened by the emperor, it will not be that difficult. The emperor now has full faith in Beiding Palace, even if
It’s my sister, and my son probably won’t be able to persuade her. After all, the Beiding Palace has indeed saved the emperor many times, and now is no longer the time to persuade him with words.”
"Since Auntie is here, she must have a plan! I wonder what exactly she wants to do?"
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain and drive away the Bai Song Dynasty. We have the final say in Chang'an City."
"How can we get him away?"
"Half a year later, the Tubo soldiers entered Lanzhou, and the soldiers stationed by His Royal Highnesses were deliberately defeated. Seeing that the border was dangerous, the emperor would definitely send troops for reinforcements. The Bai Song Dynasty had made military exploits in several expeditions, so he must be sent to lead the troops at this time. Wouldn't this be a waste of money?
Have you left?"
"Deliberate defeat...this...isn't this giving up the country's territory to others?"
