Chapter 9 Ups and Downs

Li Shimin arranged everything and prepared to move into Bashui Villa.

It is not easy for the emperor to move in.

First of all, all the idle people in Bashui Villa have to evacuate, and all the protections of the villa are left to Qianniuwei.

Then the maids in the harem who were taking care of Li Shimin began to settle in one by one. After this arrangement was made, it was Li Shimin and his group's turn to move in.

The commercial contract originally signed by Li Yuanai and Zheng Hao was naturally postponed.

However, Zheng Hao gave Li Yuanai an extra fee just like winning the jackpot.

Although Li Shimin's move-in delayed his preparation for half a year, the effect it brought was immeasurable.

Even the literary effect carefully planned by Li Yuanai is not as powerful as the glory, power and effective as Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanai personally took Li Shimin, Li Tai, Li Zhi and Xiao Yizi to visit Bashui Villa.

In the summer of integrity, lotus flowers bloom.

Among the green lotus leaves, the shy lotus flowers are like graceful girls standing with a smile.

"What a beautiful lotus, shy and lingering; the tender stamens are full of beads, and the fragrance is refreshing. Sixteen, can you say that the emperor's poems have been put on your West Lake stone tablet?"

Li Yuanai answered without hesitation and said, "Of course!"

Not to mention poetry, it is also fragrant for you, Li Shimin, to pee by this lake. As long as you dare to spit, I will dare to spit in the entire Long Urine Pool at the place where you spit.

Li Shimin thought of the sentence "If you want to compare West Lake with Xizi, it is always appropriate to apply light makeup and heavy makeup", so he did not have the desire to write poetry.

Mr. Dongpo’s pearls and jade are ahead, and Li Shimin is very proud of his face, so he dares to show his ugliness behind him. While looking at the beautiful scenery, he said, “Who are Mr. Dongpo and Wang Zian? Can you make such a great sentence for eternity? The emperor has never heard of it…”

"I don't know!" Li Yuanai still answered very happily.

Li Shimin said in surprise: "They wrote poems for you, Bashui Villa, but you don't know them?"

Li Yuanai said: "I wanted to have a good talk with them at first. This poem did not contain the incense of ten or eight poems. As a result, they were so arrogant that they gave them twenty coins at the moment."

When Li Shimin heard Li Yuanai say this as if he was sent to a beggar, he shook his head and laughed: "You, you shouldn't treat the great sages with this attitude. Those who can make such poems must be undoubtedly great talents. It is not good to introduce them to the court? Twenty cents of money? This poem is hard to find a thousand gold coins. You can send the beggars."

Li Yuanai smiled and said, "I really can't stand their noble faces. Pay attention next time, and be sure to pay attention next time."

Li Shimin shook his head and laughed, looking back at Li Tai. Just this kind of virtue, he still had a bad intention?

This gave the power to Li Chengqian, and Li Tai was obedient and obedient. Li Shimin wiped out the boredom these days and felt particularly happy. He only felt that the surrounding landscape was particularly charming and he felt that he was happy and did not want to leave.

Walking on the Shangwang Dike, Li Shimin said: "This is Shangwang Dike. It's indeed a good place. This should be the best viewing place for Xiaoxi Lake... Take paper and pen..."

Li Yuanai was overjoyed. Being able to leave Li Shimin's calligraphy here can undoubtedly bring this little West Lake to a higher level.

Li Shimin is also a famous calligrapher of the world. With a big stroke, he wrote the three words "Shang Wang Di".

Li Yuanai was about to find a treasure and planned to turn around and find someone to rub it and carve it into a stone tablet on this Shangwang Dike.

The Bashui Villa covers an active area and is widely used. The group of people walked and stopped all the way, facing the unique landscape and commented again. It took almost a day to visit the Little West Lake and Jingyiyuan.

At dusk, a group of people climbed to Shangwang Pavilion.

Li Shimin looked up at the Lord Shang King, and was stunned for a moment, then said with some envy: "Sixteen, your place is better than the emperor's. Let's go and see the emperor's residence!"

Li Yuanai shrugged helplessly, "You are the boss, you are right to say anything."

Li Shimin was holding a huge bird cage in his hand on the highest pavilion of Shangwang Pavilion. There was a beautiful white falcon in the cage, overlooking the entire Bashui Villa. At this time, Li Yuanai was the only one around.

"What a beautiful bird!" Li Yuanai praised.

Li Shimin said: "It is called the General, it is the Baixiao I personally raised, and it is extremely intelligent. Qingque lives outside the palace, and the emperor cannot meet him day and night, so he raises it to facilitate communication with Qingque's letters."

Li Yuanai said sincerely: "The emperor's brother loves his son deeply, and I am moved by my brother. I sincerely hope that they can comply with the emperor's brother's love for his son."

This is not bad or bragging, Li Shimin is really good for his legitimate son and daughter.

Li Shimin smiled indifferently and handed the bird in his hand to Li Yuanai.

Li Yuanai took it without understanding.

Li Shimin's expression immediately became serious: "Sixteen, the emperor will give you a task."

Li Yuanai hurriedly said, "The emperor said it just right. Don't look at my brother's frivolous words and deeds, and you will never be vague at critical moments."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Before I came, I have arranged to transfer your postmaster to the Ministry of Works of the Procuratorate. During this period of time when the Prince was in charge of the country, you and I used the general to communicate with each other and tell the emperor's brother everything about the situation of the Prince's charge of the country."

Li Yuanai thought he could have fun with Li Shimin and Li Zhi here, but he didn't expect to go to court. Isn't this a magpie's nest?

However, this is the critical moment, and Li Yuanai cannot guarantee whether Li Chengqian will not die due to his butterfly effect, resulting in his natural success as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

If that is true, then your prospects will be worrying.

I dared to beat Li Chengqian at the beginning because I was sure that he would not succeed the Grand Duke. If something really happened to something.

Then I'm really having fun.

Don’t say that Li Chengqian is narrow-minded, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to beat him up.

Xiaojiu can't help him. To be precise, he doesn't need his own help. As the future emperor, he can suppress aristocratic families, clean up relatives from outside, and exert his power in the world, and conquer cities and villages. He was still strong in his youth. He was a little scared when he was young, so there was no need to get involved in this scheming.

I can only do my best to Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Okay! Since the emperor has trusted me, I will give up this matter."

************

Changsun Wuji's Mansion.

Changsun Wuji rubbed his temples with some headaches, thinking about the current situation.

Even if he is as smart as a fox, he can't see through it. He doesn't know who can coordinate the world in the future.

However, compared with the civil and military officials who intend to follow the dragon, Changsun Wuji can be said to be sitting firmly on Diaoyutai.

Whether it is Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or even any cat or dog to the stage, it cannot shake his power.

Changsun Wuji knew that as long as he followed Li Shimin, someone would be beside him even if the sky fell.

"Master, the Cui family has written a letter."

Changsun Wuji said: "Return the letter... wait..." He struggled a little in his heart. Even if the Cui family didn't read the letter, he could guess the rough idea.

Li Shimin has been deliberately or unintentionally weakening the strength of the aristocratic families. During the Zhenguan period, there were almost no people from the five-family families, and few of them were in important positions in various places in the temple. Especially Ma Zhou, who was recently promoted by Li Shimin, Cen Wenben, who almost stepped into the prime minister, had no identity and background.

Faced with this situation, the five families were naturally a little nervous.

Changsun Wuji has always followed Li Shimin. No matter what decision Li Shimin makes, whether it is right or wrong, there is always a fox beside him who gives advice for him and advance and retreat together.

However, this time, Changsun Wuji hesitated...

"Leave the letter..."

He sighed weakly.

"Longxi Li family, Zhaojun Li family, Boling Cui family, Qinghe Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, Xingyang Zheng family, Taiyuan Wang family. Can't there be another Henan Changsun family?"

Changsun Wuji recited silently in his heart.

"Master, the eldest master is back."

Changsun Wuji raised his spirits and said, "Let him come to me."

Changsun Chong strode into the study, bowed in an extremely standard posture, "I have met my father."

Changsun Wuji said: "How long have you been in Zongzheng Temple?"

Changsun Chong said, "It's been about three years."

Changsun Wuji said: "Three years have passed, and it is enough for your father to give you three years. Don't be willful. You are the example of the Changsun family. Now your incompetent brother has become the Shaoqing of Honglu. How long do you want to stay in Zongzheng Temple? Do you think you can rely on being a father for a lifetime? You have worked hard to raise you into a person, not to be content with your own self. Our Changsun family has the present and today, and we fight little by little. How much wronged did your aunt suffer back then? The late emperor did not trust Your Majesty, the Crown Princess, and the Princess Qi bullied your aunt. My aunt was humiliated and served the late emperor, serving the filial piety on his children, and eroding prejudice bit by bit. Your father also hung his head on his belt, which made us the Changsun family today. You are the eldest son of my Changsun family, and you are worthy of our efforts in a daze?"

Changsun Chong wanted to say: My aunt's efforts were not for the Changsun family. Instead, she hoped that the Changsun family could restrain themselves and restore rituals. But he did not dare, he knew his father.

Since his aunt passed away, his father has developed a desire for power transition, and may be a little scared.

The Changsun family has its glory today. Although Changsun Wuji has made great contributions, the real biggest contributor is undoubtedly the Empress Changsun who can still influence Li Shimin even after six or seven years of death.

Changsun Chong did not have too much ambitions, but wanted to contribute a little effort to the world within his ability. He did not care about the size of his power and the level of his official position.

He didn't speak.

Changsun Wuji said: "The situation is unclear now, and you will not be allowed to do whatever you want this time. In a few days, I will ask someone to promote you to secretary-general."

"Yes!" Changsun Chong could only agree.

Changsun Wuji suddenly said, "Changle called his Majesty to Bashui Villa? I heard that he has been learning painting from the Shang King? She is your wife, how can they get along with them? Although she is precious, she is the wife of my Changsun family..."
