The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In addition, Li Fu also wanted to keep some carpenters for more important things.

Now, only the furniture in the house where he used to live in Zhuangzi has been replaced, but the house of King Jingyang in Chang'an City is still the same. He is not used to it. If the carpenters come in advance, he can ask them to build a set of furniture for the house of King Jingyang in Chang'an City according to the style of the furniture in the house.

Li Fu calculated and calculated, but he felt that it seemed that the money was not enough.

Well, we have to make money and increase income.

The mason took his apprentices to the place designated by Li Fu to measure the land. At that time, he might have to start work at both ends. The drawing given by Li Fu could not be used at all. It could only be used as a reference. When the measurement was clear and understood, everything had to be redrawn.

The meeting in the East Palace was over. After Li Shimin spoke so much, the officials under him also understood.

What His Royal Highness said was not wrong. The former East Palace was the former East Palace. Now, they are the officials of the East Palace and the people who will control the court of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

It is really short-sighted to only look at the people of the former East Palace and the Prince of Qi's Mansion.

They are still thinking about what His Royal Highness said.

Now, the most important thing is not the people of the former Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi, but the people of His Majesty.

Although all the affairs of the court are now under their disposal, the Crown Prince is only the Crown Prince after all. What he can issue can only be a decree, which is issued throughout the country, and the weight is still a little lighter.

But if it is an imperial decree.

The effect will be very different.

After leaving Li Yuan, Changsun hurried back to the East Palace.

First, it was because His Majesty said that Li Shimin should be prepared.

This means that His Majesty is going to abdicate.

Second, it is about His Majesty leaving the palace.

In the past, if His Majesty wanted to leave the palace, he could leave at any time, and no one dared to stop him. But now, with the current situation in the court, it is not so easy to leave at any time.

After returning to the East Palace, Changsun waited until Li Shimin finished his meeting, and then asked someone to invite Li Shimin to come to him, and then told him what happened in the palace today.

"Your Majesty, is that really what you said?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

"Yes, Your Majesty is now powerless in the court affairs, and it is not surprising to have such thoughts." Changsun said: "Now, except for the title of you being a prince, your power in handling the court affairs is no different from that of Your Majesty."

Li Shimin showed a happy face.

Today, he was still discussing with others how to get all the power and how to place His Majesty's people.

Now, he was really sleepy and a pillow was sent to him.

If His Majesty abdicated, then his actions in the court would be more legitimate.

"The other thing is that your majesty wants to leave the palace and go to Jingyang County." Changsun said, "He said that he doesn't need to bring too many people, just a few guards, to go there to see the King of Jingyang."

Li Shimin thought for a while and looked at Changsun.

"What do you think about this?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your majesty, it's still your majesty now." Changsun said.

Your majesty wants to go out, and it can't be stopped, and it's not something the prince can control. If you get in the way, it will give people a reason to talk, which will be detrimental to your reputation in the future.

Li Shimin is still the prince now. Even if he wants to restrict Li Yuan's actions, he has to wait until he becomes the emperor.

Restricting the emperor's actions as a prince is treason.

Li Shimin nodded.

"That's right."

But he had just sent someone to send a letter to Jingyang County, asking Li Fu to return to Chang'an.

If your majesty wants to go to Jingyang County, Li Fu can't come back yet.

"Come here!" Li Shimin called out.

"What do you want, Your Highness?" The people outside the courtyard hurried to the door and waited for Li Shimin's instructions.

"Send someone to Jingyang County immediately and tell King Jingyang not to come to Chang'an for the time being. By the way, tell him that His Majesty may go to Jingyang County the next day or the day after tomorrow, so let him be prepared." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." The servant at the door responded.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to go to Jingyang County?" Li Shimin seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Changsun.

"Your Majesty said that he was bored in the palace and wanted to go out to relax. Now, the only place he can go is King Jingyang. In the past, His Majesty went there privately when he left the palace. Isn't that why he met King Jingyang?" Changsun said.

Perhaps His Majesty didn't have any other ideas, just wanted to go out for a walk.

Li Shimin nodded.

But he was still worried, and planned to send someone to Jingyang County in advance, and after Li Yuan went there, he would follow him in secret.

Now that it has come to this, we must not let His MajestyHe contacted the old ministers in the court. Since he was already in this position, he had to sit firmly.

Li Shimin always knew that since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, some of Li Yuan's other sons had active minds and had thoughts that they shouldn't have.

He was afraid that these people would secretly go to His Majesty to slander him, or bewitch His Majesty, or secretly contact His Majesty's people to deal with him, the prince.

The struggle of the royal family was so ruthless.

As for if Li Fu found out, it would be fine. I believe he would understand me.

After all, he was also involved in the Xuanwu Gate incident.

The more stable his position is, the better it is for him.

Li Shimin had already regarded Li Fu as his own.

There were only two or three people in the royal family who supported him.

Li Fu received two letters.

One was from Li Shimin, and the other was from Li Shimin.

The two letters were delivered almost one after the other.

The first letter was to ask him to go back to Chang'an to see him.

The second letter was to say that His Majesty was coming to Jingyang County, and asked him to stay here and wait for His Majesty.

Li Fu looked at the two letters on the desk.

The first letter was written with earnest words.

He had just finished talking to the officials of the Eastern Palace about the Hebei matter. Even now, some people still opposed him using Wei Zheng, and some people did not know the importance of Wei Zheng.

The first letter was Li Shimin's complaint, saying that the people below did not understand his good intentions.

In Li Fu's view, the officials of the Eastern Palace had not yet completely completed the transformation of their identities. They were no longer the officials of one person, and they would all be the right-hand men who governed the entire Tang Dynasty in the future.

Now because they have not completely recovered from the aftertaste of the struggle, they will look at the problem one-sidedly and narrowly.

When Li Shimin succeeds to the throne in the future, these officials will be more powerful than each other.

To put it simply, these people's mindsets are still confined to the Qin Palace, the former East Palace, and the Qi Palace.
