Gao Shilian said: "What Mr. Wei is worried about is that when the court goes to court, you can write a book on this matter."
When Li Tai heard this, he immediately ordered the bearers: "Stop, stop."
Wei Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Master Gao, it seems that you have the most dignity."
"It's not that I have a lot of face, it's that I have a lot of face. The emperor dotes on King Wei so much, which has long been a matter of outrage among people and gods. Now that the prince has not participated in politics, he is asked to come to the court to discuss politics? How is this unbecoming?"
Gao Shilian's uncle, Empress Changsun, was his great-uncle, so of course Li Tai had to respect him a bit.
He got off the sedan, walked a few steps quickly, bowed to Gao Shilian and said, "The King of Wei has met Mr. Gao."
Gao Shilian raised his eyelids and said: "King Wei, you are so young and you are riding a chariot to go to court. What do you think of the ministers in the court who have lived through fire and water for the country?"
Li Tai replied: "This is the emperor's will. I have declined it before, but it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order."
"The prince loves his son very much. As a junior, do you think it is appropriate to do this? Look back, which one of these veterans has made great contributions on the battlefield?"
Li Tai followed his gaze and saw that there were indeed a group of ministers in court uniforms. Some were staggering, and some were even being supported. Unconsciously, he felt ashamed.
Going to court in a chariot is indeed a bit too ostentatious. If it arouses the dissatisfaction of the officials, I am afraid it will be detrimental to you in the future.
So he said to Gao Shilian: "What Mr. Gao said is extremely true. King Wei is ashamed."
Wei Zheng sneered and said, "King Wei, you, a little prince, can go to court in a chariot, so where will you place the prince?"
Li Tai thought to himself, stop pretending to be aloof here, you can't even take care of your own daughter, and you are still here lecturing others.
But he said: "Your Majesty has taught you a lesson very well. The King of Wei does not know how high the sky is and how high he is. I am ashamed of myself."
There are many officials who go to court in the morning, and all officials above the ninth rank in Chang'an City must go to court.
Li Tai followed the other court officials into His Highness Tai Chi. At this time, Li Shimin had not yet gone to court, and the hall was solemn.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has also come to court?"
Suddenly, Li Chengqian came in from outside and walked straight towards him.
Li Tai was shocked. It turned out that he was being sentimental. When Li Shimin ordered him to go to court, the princes Li Chengqian and Li Ke also went to court.
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince looks good."
Li Tai asked a little bit strangely.
"Of course, the imperial doctor comes to check my pulse every day. Fourth brother, have you ever been treated like this?"
It is the prince's prerogative for the imperial physician to diagnose the prince's pulse every day.
Li Tai smiled and said: "How can I be the same as the prince? I am ashamed."
While the two were whispering, they saw Li Shimin dressed in imperial robes and a crown, walking to the imperial chair with his head held high and sitting down. All the ministers kowtowed and shouted three times, long live the emperor.
Li Tai looked at the aloof Li Shimin with mixed feelings in his heart.
No wonder the princes were fighting to the death for that position.
"All ministers and ministers, if you have your roots, you can join the imperial court. If you don't have your roots, you should withdraw from the court."
The troubled king Wei Zheng walked out of the queue, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have my own memorial."
"Here comes the original play."
Li Tai was nervous. He was worried that Wei Zheng would bring the matter of his chariot to court to the court. If that happened, it would be really embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng said loudly: "Your Majesty, there has been news recently from the Western Capital Prefecture that there are rogue bandits disturbing the people from time to time. I think it would be better to send a capable minister to deal with it."
Li Tai breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't embarrass him.
I wonder if he knew that Wei Jiali had entered Prince Wei's Mansion? He must have known.
That day he even forgot to ask Mrs. Black and White how Wei Jiali appeared at their house so precisely.
"King Wei, what are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, he was pulled by Li Chengqian who was standing next to him. Only then did he come back to his senses, only to see all the ministers looking at him.
It's bad, my mind has wandered.
"King Wei, are you willing to go to Xidu Mansion to handle this matter?"
It turned out that this was an errand for him, and of course he was willing to go as long as there was something to do.
"Yes, as long as the court needs it, my sons and ministers should take care of their father's worries."
But Li Shimin shook his head and said: "You are very happy. The affairs of Luojia Kingdom were handled very well last time. I'm afraid it won't be a big deal if I ask you to go to Xidu Mansion this time."
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to govern the Xidu Mansion? I will definitely do it beautifully."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei is young and mature and needs to be trained well."
"I have this memorial."
Qin Qiong stepped forward and said.
"What is the original story of Aiqing?"
Qin Qiong said: "I think that the King of Wei is still young and not qualified to take on such a big responsibility. The prince can go out and gain experience."
Changsun Wuji said: "No. General Qin's words are out of consideration. The prince is the foundation of the country. How can he leave Chang'an City casually?"
Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian, who stood aside and said nothing as if he was mute.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Changsun said is absolutely true. I am willing to go to Xidu Mansion to handle this matter."
Li Shimin said sternly: "King Wei is indeed a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. Xidu Mansion is a barbaric land. If you go there, you may not be able to protect yourself. I have countless capable generals in the Tang Dynasty, but there is no suitable candidate?"
Gao Shilian said: "This matter must be done by Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei's sharp tongue will cost hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. I believe Mr. Wei will be able to successfully complete this task."
"Oh, that's a good idea. Wei Aiqing, are you willing to go?"
Li Tai didn't wait for Wei Zheng's answer and said first, "Your Majesty, if Mr. Wei goes there, I am willing to go with him."
Wei Zheng seemed to be surprised and said: "I accept the order. However, there is no need for King Wei to go, right?"
Li Tai asked unhappily: "Master Wei, do you think this king is in the way?"
"No, King Wei is like flowers and plants in a greenhouse. I'm worried that you won't be able to adapt to the climate and climate in that kind of place. I'm afraid your current body will have difficulty adapting."
Li Tai patted his chest and said, "Mr. Wei, you are so tough. Although I had a serious illness a few days ago, my body is made of iron and it won't be a problem at all."
After speaking, he said to Li Shimin: "Please let the emperor decide."
Li Shimin laughed and said, "That's very good. I feel more at ease when Mr. Wei goes there with us."
Li Tai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
Li Shimin said: "Come here, you don't have other requests, right? If you have any requests, tell them as well."
Li Qin looked at all the ministers and said: "Please take back the emperor's decree to let me ride in the chariot to go to court. I have no virtue and incompetence and cannot accept such special treatment."
Li Shimin looked around the hall and said, "Why did you say that? I understand. Someone must be gossiping. Who is it? Please stand up."
For a moment, there was silence in the hall.
"The King of Wei is fat, and I think he is ill. Who can't stand it so much?"
Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian looked at each other, walked out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, it's me."
Li Shimin said angrily: "It is you, Mr. Wei. Allowing the King of Wei to ride in the chariot is a privilege that I, as a father, can give him. Why are you so troublesome?"
