"The standard of the prince... A criminal who rebelled against the most unforgivable thing would even use the standard of the prince's funeral...!" Li Tai sat on the chair and showed a contemptuous expression.

Looking at Li Tai, Fang Yiai on the side smiled and said, "It was Li You who came to see him..."

"Hmph..." With a cold snorkeling, Li Tai shook his head: "Li You is not qualified yet. He is the pawn of his father. The one who wants the prince's specifications is still the father. Li You is just an obedient puppet."

"Then Your Majesty still attaches great importance to the prince...!"

"So what? People are dead. Even if they value them, they will not live again. This is the stupidest part of the father...!" Li Tai frowned slightly and said, "However, this old fifth brother is becoming more and more restless now. I want to find an opportunity to hit him. Of course, now is not the time. Let's wait for the prince's funeral...!"

................

"Pa...!" "Pa...!" "Pa...!"... The whip sounded one hundred and eight times... The funeral of Prince Li Chengqian began, and the entire Eastern Palace was full of filial piety banners. Li You led Li Xiang and Li Jue to send Li Chengqian the last journey together.

In the second year of Wude, the Qin Princess Changsun gave birth to the eldest son of Li Shimin.

In the third year of Wude, Li Chengqian, who was still in his infancy, was named King of Hengshan.

In the seventh year of Wude, Li Chengqian was transferred to the title of King of Zhongshan.

In the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin ascended the throne and became Emperor Taizong. On October 19th, Li Chengqian, who was only 8 years old, was enthroned as the crown prince.

In the third year of Zhenguan, the prince's grand tutor Li Gang had to enter the palace in a sedan chair because of his foot disease. So Li Chengqian personally led his teacher to the palace and saluted respectfully. He also humbly asked him for advice and was extremely respectful. After Li Gang passed away, Chengqian personally erected a monument for his teacher.

In May of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang issued an edict to Chengqian "respond to the lawsuit", and also said, "From now on, the person who has been prosecuted in the Shangshu Province, will open the Eastern Palace and order Chengqian to make a decision."

It can be seen that Emperor Taizong of Tang was already consciously practicing Chengqian's political ability as a crown prince, and Li Chengqian was only 12 years old at this time. In the same year, the Shangshu's right servant Du Ruhui was seriously ill, and Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered Chengqian to go and express condolences in person.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang traveled to Qizhou, and Li Chengqian stayed in the capital as the crown prince. In August, Li Chengqian came to the court. Emperor Taizong of Tang was happy and feasted for the officials of the East Palace, and gave them silk to each other.

In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian was seriously ill. Emperor Taizong of Tang issued an order to ask the eminent monk Bo of India to pray for blessings for his beloved son.

On February 19 of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Prince Li Chengqian was given a Yuan Servant. Emperor Taizong of Tang was granted a general amnesty for his death sentence and was given a fifth rank or above as his father. The latter had a first-class title. The world was magnificent for three days, and the ministers were given a banquet, and each was given a different silk.

In the first month of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian married Su Shan, the eldest daughter of Secretary Su, as the crown princess. Emperor Taizong of Tang gave a banquet for the ministers and gave each other silk.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun gradually became seriously ill. Chengqian was worried and asked for a general amnesty for prisoners and to save people to the Tao in the hope of blessing, but was flatly rejected by Empress Changsun. In June, Empress Changsun died in Lizheng Hall at the age of 36.

In March of the 12th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian's eldest son Li Xiang was born. Because of the joy of the emperor's grandson's grandson's joy, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered all the prisoners in the world to be punished first-class. If the sons who are in charge of internal and external officials and above are the fathers, they will be given a reward for their honor. For five days, the world will be feasted at the East Palace.

In the 13th year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of Tang issued an edict to establish the Chongwenguan in the East Palace.

It was also in this year that Li Chengqian ushered in a turning point in his life, because as he grew older and suffered from foot disease, he began to rebel. Who knew that Li Shimin did not comfort himself, but instead "searched for the virtuous and assisted the palace", and selected more than ten old ministers, and famous officials served as auxiliary ministers of the East Palace, such as Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, etc., and ordered Liu Ju and Cen Wenben to go to the East Palace with Ma Zhou to talk to Prince Chengqian.

However, these ministers ignored a very important point, that is, is this educational method suitable for Li Chengqian, and can blindly advise correct Chengqian's behavior that has already deviated?

Because we can find common ground by looking at the advice of Zhining, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others - these three people are almost as memorial as memorials, and their words are fiercer than the other, and their words are sharper than the other, but in the end they are not able to achieve the desired effect.

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian only built a house, so Yu Zhining submitted a memorial to criticize him for being too luxurious.

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian privately led the Turkic group to the palace, which once again attracted Yu Zhining's letter.

Li Shimin's attitude towards Li Chengqian began to change. In February of the 16th year of Zhenguan, the manuscript of "Guodizhi" edited by King Li Tai of Wei was completed. Emperor Taizong of Tang was very happy and was as if he had obtained a treasure. Not only did he collect this work in the royal library, he also rewarded Li Tai one after another - first, he gave "ten thousand pieces of goods", and then he rewarded a large amount of money every month, which was even more than the standard of the prince.

On September Dingsi, Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed Wei Zheng as the crown prince's tutor. At this time, Li Chengqian was very fond of a Taichangle person in the palace. Emperor Taizong of Tang naturally killed him after learning about it. As a result, Chengqian was sad and said that he was sick and did not attend court for several months. He even wanted to kill Zhang Xuansu and others who repeatedly advised him.

In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian was afraid of Li Tai, who was also deeply favored by his father and had the desire to seek the legitimate intention. After failing to try to assassinate, he colluded with King Li Yuanchang of Han, Du He, Princess Chengyang's son-in-law Du He, Hou Junji and others, and planned to start a fight to force the palace first, but the matter was exposed.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was heartbroken and had no choice but to imprison him in a separate room. He ordered Situ Changsun Wuji and Sikong Fang Xuanling to join Xiao Yu, Minister of War Li Ji, Minister of War Sun Fujia, Minister of Dali Sun Wenben, Minister of Secretariat Cen Wenben, Censor Ma Zhou, and Censor Chu Suiliang and others to participate in the examination. All the matters were clear and verified.

Just in the month of imprisonment, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian was hung in front of the tomb of Chengxin. Li Shimin was heartbroken and buried with the ceremony of the prince.

"Kneel...seal..."

The eunuch shouted loudly, and then he saw Li Chengqian's coffin being carried into the grave. Li Chengqian's two sons cried heartbrokenly. Li You looked at all this lightly, and his heart was filled with sadness. This is a person's last destination. No matter you are a prince or a general or a prime minister, your last destination is here.

"Boom...click..."

A thunder sounded, and heavy rain poured down, and Crown Prince Li Chengqian ended.

....................................

After Li Chengqian's funeral was completed, Li Shimin praised Li You many times in front of ministers, and Li Shimin also gave Li You a gold medal, so he could enter the palace at any time. It can be said that Li Shimin also began to favor Li You.

During this period, Li Tai also began to actively operate and tried his best to gain Li Shimin's favor.

In addition to gaining the favor of Li Shimin, Li Tai also took the initiative to find Li Zhi and threatened Li Zhi that Li Yuanchang was involved in the prince's rebellion, and Li Zhi and Li Yuanchang are good friends. Don't you worry about being implicated?

After hearing this news, Li Zhi looked very depressed and painful all day long. Li Shimin didn't know, but Li You could see Li Zhi's changes. Later, under Li You's questioning, Li Zhi explained the reason.

To be honest, after hearing this, Li You was also a little embarrassed to Li Tai. If you want to... fight for the position of the prince, but what is the point of scaring a child here?

Then Li You went straight to the palace and made a statement in front of Li Shimin, saying that Li Zhi was intimidated by someone who was interested during this period and wanted to use his relationship with Li Yuanchang to impeach Li Zhi. During this period, Li Zhi was so scared that he hid in Dunhuafang and did not dare to come out.

Li Shimin is a very wise emperor. Although Li You did not say who the person with his heart was, Li Shimin also guessed the other party. You should know that Li Shimin is an emperor who loves his son very much. Of course, he hopes that his son can be safe.

Li You's complaints made Li Shimin start to worry that if Li Zhi did not have a certain status, he would easily be framed by Li Tai.

When Li Shimin ascended the throne during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he naturally knew that his sons who were not careful about the throne might have to kill each other. Although Li Tai was talented, he was too ruthless. If he became the emperor, how could he let go of the brothers who threatened him?

You should know that one of his eldest son and fourth son had already died due to a fight. He would never let him go, and his fourth son and his ninth son, something bad happened, so Li Shimin then began to make arrangements for his ninth son.

The target of Li Shimin's layout was Li You. Li You himself did not expect that Li Shimin began to assess Li You in a sudden day, and the weather was very hot that day.

Li You and Li Zhi were called to a side hall next to Ganlu Hall by Li Shimin because of the above statement. Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to ask the two to talk about something that someone was intimidating.

Li You and Li Zhi were not allowed to have him, so they came to this side hall together. To be honest, after coming to the side hall, Li Zhi was still a little scared. After sitting down, Li Zhi leaned against Li You and said, "Fifth Brother, do you think your father will really demote me from Chang'an? If I leave Chang'an, I miss you, miss you, and Heng'er, what should I do?"

Looking at his younger brother whose eyes were slightly red, Li You smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, don't listen to the fourth brother scare you. Li Yuanchang's affairs have nothing to do with you. I will definitely explain the matter clearly. You and Li Yuanchang also have some communication in calligraphy and painting.

The rest will have no intersection, and the father will not connect you with Li Yuanchang."

"Is that true... Then Fifth Brother, you must help me..." Li Zhi looked at Li You pitifully.

Li You smiled and touched Li Zhi's head and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wu promises you that nothing will happen. As long as you come here today, nothing will happen."

"Yeah..." Li Zhi nodded repeatedly: "Fifth Brother, you are so good..."

"I know that Brother Wu is good, so I will not get angry with Yizi next time... Look at you two guys, Dunhuafang is not harmful enough, and I will go outside... Especially Yizi, you must take care of her in the future. Every girl's family will be in trouble if something happens."

"I understand...Fifth brother, I will help you take good care of the whiskers."

Li Zhi smiled, but, just as Li Zhi finished laughing, suddenly a scream came from outside: "It's gone, it's gone..."
