The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Since His Majesty has carefully confirmed it, the next step is to include the young man in the royal family." Pei Ji took over the conversation appropriately, and also secretly observed Li Yuan's expression.

"This must be done." Li Yuan said: "I will ask the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter, the sooner the better."

Pei Ji pondered Li Yuan's words.

Since Li Fu is a member of the royal family, it is normal to let the Ministry of Rites handle it. I just don't know what treatment His Majesty will give to Li Fu.

Pei Ji wanted to find out something from Li Yuan.

But if Li Yuan didn't say it himself, he couldn't bring it up, so now he felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

After all, Li Fu's status is related to the relationship between him and the Pei family in the future.

"Your Majesty's order has been sent to the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites will naturally hurry up to handle it. However, the Ministry of Rites may not be able to determine the exact treatment and standards for handling this matter." Pei Ji said, "If it is not handled properly, it may be delayed."

"That's okay. Since he is the son of my third brother, he will be made a prince." Li Yuan said.

That's his own nephew.

Pei Ji rolled his eyes.

Prince.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhao is also your nephew." Pei Ji said, "But the Prince of Zhao fought for the Tang Dynasty and made many military achievements, which earned him the title of Prince. If Li Fu was made a Prince all of a sudden, would it cause dissatisfaction among other royal relatives in the court?

After all, Li Fu doesn't seem to have any outstanding achievements."

"A teenager, where can he make achievements when the Tang Dynasty is peaceful now?" Li Yuan said, "Since he is my nephew, it is appropriate to give him the title of Prince." Li Yuan said.

Pei Ji saw that Li Yuan had made up his mind and knew that this stumbling block could not be used, so he stopped talking.

If he said more, His Majesty would be unhappy.

As for this matter, I can choose not to say anything, but it does not mean that others will not say anything. There are many censors who have a good relationship with the Pei family. Since the Ministry of Rites is going to handle this matter, it must be discussed in the court. Let the censors speak at that time.

In addition to the words of the Eastern Palace, His Majesty should reconsider.

Li Fu and the Pei family have a grudge. How could Pei Ji let Li Fu get the title of the prince smoothly? Wouldn't that make himself and the Pei family uncomfortable?

Next, Pei Ji followed Li Yuan's words.

I can't continue to be alienated from His Majesty.

This period of time also taught Pei Ji a lesson.

Once he is not by His Majesty's side and is not close to His Majesty, he will not even have a chance to speak in front of His Majesty.

Some things and some words cannot be said in the court.

After Li Fu's identity was confirmed, the news could not be concealed. Everyone knew it from the palace to the outside.

"No wonder my father always goes to Jingyang County."

After learning about this, Li Shimin suddenly realized the truth in the Qin Palace.

So this is the reason.

"Since your majesty has confirmed the identity of that young man, he and your highness are also cousins." Changsun brought the soup and placed it on the table in front of Li Shimin: "If you don't know, it's fine. Now that you know, you should express it."

"Then what do you think Guanyin should do?" Li Shimin asked.

"Since we are brothers, I will prepare a gift and ask someone to send it to Jingyang County." Changsun said: "Leave it to me to take care of the communication between relatives in the inner house. Your highness doesn't need to worry too much. If that young man comes to Chang'an City in the future, we will meet after all. When the time comes, we will visit him, or send an invitation to invite our cousin to come to our house for a chat."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you," said Li Shimin.

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Changsun said, "The person was found by our father, and he is the only child of the third uncle. The father will definitely be more concerned."

Changsun's words meant that since the father was concerned, we should just follow his wishes. After all, we are brothers, and it is a good thing to get to know each other more.

"You are right. I never thought that the third uncle would have descendants who would stay among the people." Li Shimin sighed, "This is a good thing. At least, the third uncle has a successor."

When the news reached the East Palace, Li Jiancheng was also puzzled.

Such a person suddenly appeared.

Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng's impression of Li Fu came entirely from Pei Ji's description.

When Pei Ji came to the East Palace before, he also mentioned the things on Zhuangzi.It turned out that Pei Ji took Li Yuan to Jingyang County when he went out of the palace for the first time.

"Is the news reliable?" Li Jiancheng asked.

"Your Majesty has personally investigated it, and our people have also returned from Jinyang. They said that the last time Jinyang sent someone to reply to your Majesty's letter, it must be that your Majesty saw the reply and then verified the identity of Li Fu." The official of the Eastern Palace said.

Li Jiancheng nodded secretly after hearing this.

"If that's the case, it's a good thing." Li Jiancheng said.

He and Li Shimin had the same idea. It was a good thing that the third uncle's family had a successor.

Even if this descendant was not promising, it didn't matter. At least the bloodline remained in the world, which had a different meaning.

Moreover, for their Li family, they didn't need him to be very promising.

"Your Highness, I heard that the King of Qin had sent someone to Jingyang County to give gifts." An official under Li Jiancheng said.

"Then I will also prepare a gift and send it to Jingyang County. After all, we are all family members. In terms of seniority, he is my cousin." Li Jiancheng said.

As a prince, he still has the heart and bearing to do this.

But just as Li Jiancheng was about to act, someone came to report that Zuo Pushe Pei Ji had arrived.

"Please let him in." Li Jiancheng said.

Although he was curious about Pei Ji's purpose of coming to the East Palace, he was the emperor's favorite after all, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

After Pei Ji entered the hall, he saluted Li Jiancheng.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite to Zuo Pushe, come and give him a seat." Li Jiancheng greeted.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Then Pei Ji sat down in the hall.

"What is the purpose of Zuo Pushe coming to my East Palace today?" Li Jiancheng asked.

"I think Your Highness should have received the news that His Majesty has found the heir of the former King of Han." Pei Ji brought up the topic straight to the point.

Li Jiancheng nodded.

"I already know about it and I am preparing to have someone send a gift over." Li Jiancheng said, "After all, he is my cousin."
