Chapter 39 Killing the Chicken and Respecting the Monkey
It’s not surprising when you think about it. Once people are caught in a struggle for rights, family, love, family and national conditions will mean nothing.
His today may also be his tomorrow.
Court struggle has been the most cruel struggle since ancient times, but there are not many founding emperors like Li Yuan who tried their best to conquer the country, but in the end they ended up alone.
"No, my father is very filial to my grandpa, otherwise he wouldn't let you live in Tai Chi Palace."
"My grandson, people's hearts are unpredictable. I know better than you what kind of person your father is. That's it. Send a message to him for me and ask someone to help me clean up Hongyi Palace. I will move there today.
"
At this point, the matter can be considered a complete success, but even though he agreed, what will the people in the world think? People will definitely think that he was forced.
Thinking of this, Li Tai said: "Grandpa Huang, can you write a document voluntarily moving out of Tai Chi Palace and let your grandson submit it to his father?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and said: "Why did you write that thing? Is it my intention that you can't live in a good Tai Chi Palace? I've long been used to living here, doesn't he know? It's important to live there when you become the emperor.
?"
The more Li Yuan talked, the angrier he became, and he squeezed a string of Buddhist beads in his hand so that they made a "bang" sound.
If you want to do something good, do it to the end.
Regardless of whether he was angry or not, Li Taicai continued: "Grandpa Huang, there is nothing we can do about it. Who made you his father? What father doesn't care about his children? For the sake of my father's reputation, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice yourself.
"
Li Yuan looked at him and sighed: "My grandson, your father is lucky to have a son like you. It's a pity that I don't have a son like you."
Seeing that his attitude had obviously softened, Li Tai was secretly happy that there was something interesting about this.
Li Yuan is not an ordinary person. An ordinary person cannot be the emperor. If he is a sensible person, he will do whatever Li Shimin asks him to do. How good can he be if he goes against him?
"Grandpa Huang, you have given birth to four sons, all of whom are proud of the world. You have to be proud of them. You have lived in the palace for a long time and know very little about the outside world. I heard that Lord Pei Ji is involved in a dispute.
Among them, I am afraid that there will be a fatal disaster."
Li Yuan asked in surprise: "Really? Why didn't I know? He stayed with me for so long yesterday and didn't say a word to me. Grandson, he is a loyal minister."
Li Tai thought to himself, I have already talked about this, and you still don’t understand?
The reason why he said this was just to remind him that his old friend was going to suffer. Couldn't he guess the reason?
"Come here, bring me Pei Ji immediately."
Li Yuan shouted three times, but no one answered.
"What's going on? Where are the eunuchs in the palace?"
"You are so brave, you don't even listen to me?"
"Come here, if you don't come I'll kill you."
After a while, a palace maid hurriedly came over and said, "If we go back to the Emperor, all the eunuchs in the palace will be taken to Hongyi Palace."
"What are they going there for? Who asked them to go?"
The palace maid replied: "General Yuchi just came and ordered them all to move to Hongyi Palace. We don't know what happened."
Li Yuan's face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and he shouted at Li Tai: "You see, this is your good father. He settled there for me before I mentioned him."
Li Tai was also surprised. Here he was persuading Li Yuan to move out of Tai Chi Palace, and before he went to claim credit from Li Shimin, he settled him in a place? It seemed that he didn't want to ask his father's opinion at all.
"That's unreasonable. This son of a bitch is so cruel."
Li Yuan cursed and his eyes turned red.
"Grandpa Huang, you should listen to me. This not only gives you dignity but also gives my father the dignity. I am afraid he did this out of necessity."
"Okay, grandson, your father really wants to return to the West right away to save the world from scolding him. Come here, bring a pen and paper."
The palace maid just now quickly brought a pen and ink.
After a while, Li Yuan wrote a document requesting to move out of Tai Chi Palace.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang. From now on, if you live in Hongyi Palace, your grandson will definitely visit you often."
Li Yuan shook his hand and said: "No need, whoever comes and goes will be unlucky for a person like me. Forget it, my glory has passed, so it doesn't matter anymore. But, this old guy Pei Ji has always been loyal to me. You
Please plead with your father on his behalf and ask him to let him go for my sake."
At this time, he saw Zhang Meiren walking towards him in a hurry and said, "The Emperor is not well. I just heard that Lord Pei Ji was exiled."
"Exiled? What crime has he committed? You have to look at the owner to beat a dog. Is he treating him like this to show me power?"
"Who doesn't say yes? They are all good sons you raised. I'm afraid that if he is attacking Mr. Pei now, it won't be long before you and I will be convicted of treason."
Zhang Meiren looks like a rabbit dying and a fox sad.
Li Tai advised them: "As long as I see this document and I say a few good words for Mr. Pei, my father will definitely spare him for your sake."
"Oh, that's possible. Grandson, please quickly take this document and send it to him. Just tell me what I mean. If you want to hate me, just hate me. Don't embarrass Mr. Pei."
Li Taizheng wanted to see what was going on with Li Shimin, so he agreed and left.
When he didn't find anyone in the Xiande Hall, he went to the Lizheng Hall. But he still couldn't find anyone. When he was going to look elsewhere, he was stopped by Ying'er.
"Second Young Master, what are you doing? Who provoked you?"
"Who dares to mess with me? I have something urgent to do to fight my father, but he didn't come?"
Ying'er said unhappily: "There are so many women in the emperor's harem that he can't get enough of them every month from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. Don't you know?"
"Ying'er, be brave."
Changsun Wuyou came out of the inner room with a serious expression, gave Ying'er a shout, and asked him lovingly: "Son, do you have anything to do with your father?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, I finally managed to get through the ideological work of Grandpa Huang. I also begged him to write a document voluntarily giving up the throne. I want to submit it to the Emperor as soon as possible."
"Oh, really?"
Li Tai hurriedly handed the document to her and said, "I think I am serious. Look, there is his seal on it."
Changsun Wuyou read it from beginning to end and said with a smile: "Okay, that's great. Tai'er, you have made great achievements this time. Mother will definitely let your father give you a reward."
"Thank you, Mother. There are just some things that I have to tell my father face to face. Where has he gone?"
"Where else can we go? Broken Jade Palace. There's no rush."
He went to see Yang Guimei again, which was really disgusting.
"No, this matter is extremely urgent. I have to submit it to him immediately. Grandpa Huang is still waiting for my reply."
Changsun Wuyou frowned and asked, "What kind of letter are you replying to? Isn't it great that father and son each have their own place?"
