The road is already in sight, and then it's up to Li Kuan's own choice!
The Dachao met hundreds of officials to celebrate, and foreign envoys also went to Beijing to worship. However, today's melons are a bit big, and everyone has their own thoughts. Li Shimin hosted a state banquet for the first time to celebrate. Everyone rushed towards He, but Li Zhi, the king of Nanping County, was left alone in the Taiji Hall.
"Pheasant slave, do you have any dissatisfaction when you are downgraded to the county king?"
Li Shimin did not smile, and looked at Li Zhi who was dumbfounded. He knew that this incident would cause irreversible trauma to Li Zhi, but he had to do so, like the king of Shu Li Yan was also demoted to the place, and Xue Wanche also The law was condemned, the grandson Wuji was arrested all over the house, and the only person involved in the incident was Li Zhi yet to deal with it.
Originally, Li Shimin was cutting the nobility for the people, thinking that Li Zhi was the queen's heir, leaving him a thin face, it depends on whether Li Zhi can appreciate the good intentions of Emperor Taizong.
"Children should obey the edict!" Li Zhi's face remained as usual, and he bowed to answer. Li Shimin sighed inwardly. Li Zhi's failure to answer bluntly proved that he was resentful. Li Shimin did not explain, let him experience it and let him. After returning home, he departed from Beijing in a few days.
Li Zhi bowed and said goodbye. When he turned around, his face suddenly became cold, his sullen eyes bit his lip, and he walked out of the hall without saying a word. He didn’t understand that his father still loved him in every possible way, told him to be a good emperor, and even taught him how to do it. After more than a month, everything has changed. The pain of falling from heaven to hell and his unwillingness to make Li Zhi angry Endlessly, but he was very calm and unclear, but actually concealed his inner resentment.
"Li Kuan!"
Li Healing became gloomy. He blamed Li Kuan for his own experience today. The previous rumor in the palace was definitely not a rumor. He faintly guessed that the change in his father’s attitude was not related to Li Kuan, and was even forced to make a choice. Obviously this time He lost the confrontation, Li Kuan won the crown prince, and even the world.
Li Zhi left the Taiji Hall full of resentment. After that, he did not go back to the East Palace directly. He was ironic that living in the East Palace is a great irony. It is always like sitting on pins and needles. After Li Daliang took over the East Palace, it seemed more airtight. The cage makes him unable to breathe smoothly.
Looking back at the magnificent palace and the imperial city scenery of the high-strength courtyard, Li Kuan's eyes were full of crazy colors, and the corners of his mouth raised a sullen smile. Until the attendant next to him came, Li Kuan withdrew his gaze and turned on the carriage and walked towards the East Palace.
At the same time, Li Kuan and Ma Jiayun were drinking happily in the Chu Palace of Da'an Palace, as if all their worries and sorrows were taken away by the wine and never looked back. For more than half an hour, the two were still drinking each other, and Zhang Chong and Leng Feng appeared beside them untimely.
Even though Li Kuan's complexion was ruddy, he still didn't see the slightest drunkness. On the contrary, Ma Jiayun was slightly drunk, and even his speech was intermittent and unclear. Li Kuan raised his head and glanced at Zhang Chong and Leng Feng, and said, "Come on, have two glasses together!"
Zhang Chong and Leng Feng smiled bitterly while holding up the wine glasses and drank three glasses each. After six glasses of wine, Ma Jiayun was immediately dizzy and couldn't find Bei. Li Kuan motioned to the guard to carry him into the room to rest. While drinking the wine, he said, "There is something over there. Action?"
Zhang Chong and Leng Feng nodded in response. Li Kuan looked at the turbid drink in the glass, and was full of emotion. It seems that the turbid wine is like a person. Until the end, you can’t see the real situation of the other party clearly, as if everyone is wearing a cup. Zhang couldn't see the mask that he couldn't touch, disguised as what he wanted you to see. The moment you remove the mask, you will know what he really looks like.
"It's time to end!"
After the turbid wine turned into sake, Li Kuan put down his glass, his face suddenly turned cold, stood up and took Zhang Chong and Leng Feng out of the Da'an Palace again. The guards accompanying him were only the previous twenty people, because he wanted Give the other party a big surprise.
Wu Suo and others were shocked when they saw that the drunk Ma Jiayun was carried into the room. When they hurried away, they found that Li Kuan was no longer visible. They were shocked and hurriedly looked around. Until the guard at the side door told Li Kuan that he had gone out, everyone became more anxious, for fear of something wrong with Li Kuan.
"Your Highness!"
When Li Kuan left the Da'an Palace, six people suddenly appeared. Li Kuan nodded and continued to walk forward. The six people got up to keep up. When Li Kuan came to Demen, the general stationed here couldn't help his legs trembling. Li Kuan raised his head to look at the guard at the palace gate and said, "You want to stop me?"
"Don't dare!" The guard was so frightened that he immediately ordered the gate to be opened, and even came down to greet him personally. With a flattering appearance, Li Kuan asked, "Who is the general?"
"Back to your Royal Highness, it is General Li Daliang, General Right Guard!" The defender answered truthfully, and asked cautiously: "Should General Li come?"
"No need!"
Li Kuan shook his head and let the other party continue to guard to Demen, and behind this palace gate was the seat of the Prince's Palace of the East Palace. The six guards of the East Palace are the troops stationed at the gates of the East Palace, and the other four are the prince's own soldiers. They do not command the army, but only protect the prince and the safety of the palace.
After entering Zhidemen, I continued to walk for about half an hour, passing by the Fotang, Yichun Beiyuan and other buildings. This is the backyard of the East Palace, and it is also a place for the princes and concubines to play and play; then walk north through the inner gate and enter the East Palace. In the central location, this is where the prince and concubines live, eat and eat, almost everything is available.
When Li Kuan and others passed through, the prince princess Wang cried out in exclamation again and again, and scattered like a frightened rabbit, glaring at Li Kuan rushing in. Li Kuan ignored the anger of the crowd and continued to walk north.
It wasn't until the front hall of the East Palace, which was the daily office of the prince, to stop, such as the Guardian Hall and Chongjiao Hall.
Now that he is a prince, no matter where he enters and exits, no one is qualified to say that he has anything, but Li Kuan does not have the courtesy in terms of etiquette. The Zhidemen guard quickly informed Li Daliang, the commander of the East Palace, that he was so angry that he yelled at him. He didn't know such a big thing. He immediately took people to the front hall and sent a message back to the palace to inform Emperor Taizong.
After Li Zhi returned to the East Palace, he did not go out, and he did not go anywhere else. He went straight into Chongwen Hall until the Crown Prince sent someone to file a complaint before he realized that Li Kuan actually took people from Zhidemen into the palace. Li Zhi was angry. It feels like Li Kuan is provoking his bottom line.
When he remembered that he was no longer a prince, all the anger died down. The reason why Li Kuan made such a big disturbance was to force Li Zhi to show up, and let him go to Li Kuan, but I don’t know where to find it, or let Li Zhi take the initiative to show up. appropriate.
In addition, the rate of the four guards responsible for guarding the safety of this place is not sure what to do. Now Li Kuan is the owner of this place, so they can only watch Li Kuan swinging around freely, sitting in the Guardian Hall waiting for Li Zhi without any hurry. appear. (End of this chapter)
