Seeing that his father was told, Li Tai also smiled and said, "My son said something unpleasant to the emperor. When the Duke was established, Zhang Liang was originally one of the candidates, but his father made other people and put Zhang Liang aside when he discussed it again. Zhang Liang was also one of the heroes of the Wagang Uprising. He followed his father for many years and made a lot of hard work even without great achievements. Since then, the father has never mentioned the matter of re-establishing the Duke again. Zhang Liang has some complaints in his heart."

Li Shimin stopped shooting archery and frowned thoughtfully.

Li Chengqian also listened to Li Tai's speech quietly, and was a little confused for a moment, and could not understand what Li Tai would say.

After quiet for a long time, Li Shimin bent his bow and arrows to aim at the wooden stake, and one arrow shot out but failed to hit the wooden stake.

"Do you think I treated him badly?"

Li Tai bowed and said, "Father, what if Zhang Liang was given a position in Lingyan Pavilion and gave him the position of Duke?"

Li Shimin shot another arrow, but still failed to hit the wooden stake, and looked a little helpless.

Li Chengqian could also see that his father's mind had begun to shake, and his thoughts were obviously a little confused.

Li Shimin said again: "Do you think I was unfair to Zhang Liang at the beginning, and now I need to compensate him?"

"No." Li Tai bowed and said again: "What the son-in-law means is to give Zhang Liang enough benefits to the point where he cannot refuse, so that he can't refuse, so that he can return to Chang'an, which seems to have given him the position of Duke, but in fact he has his military power. As for the position of Lingyan Pavilion..."

Li Tai smiled and said, "Preliminary first, but you can discuss it later."

Li Shimin shot an arrow, and the arrow accurately shot the wooden stake.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Shimin said, "It's really like the prince said. I'm not old, but I haven't practiced unfamiliarity for a long time."

Li Chengqian nodded and responded with an awkward smile.

Li Tai felt a little uncomfortable. He clearly had an idea, but what does it mean to say the prince if his father doesn’t say good or bad?

The smiles on the two brothers' faces were awkward.

Li Shimin handed the bow in his hand to the guards beside him, looked at the Chishui of Qujiangchi and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. It seems that this place hasn't been well taken care of for a long time."

The manager of Qujiangchi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this Qujiangchi is taken care of every day."

Li Shimin looked at the water of Qujiang Pond and said, "Look at how many water plants are in this pool."

Hearing this, the manager of Qujiangchi looked flustered. Without thinking, he jumped into Qujiangchi and began to snatch the water plants and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, the villain will clean up now."

Li Shimin nodded and looked at the manager of Qujiangchi and whispered: "Qingque, do you think I still need to keep him for such a manager?"

Li Tai hesitated for a while and didn't know how to reply.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, "What do the prince think?"

"My son thinks..."

Li Chengqian was also hesitant and didn't know what to say, thinking that he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Li Shimin said with some disappointment: "What else do you want to say about Zhang Liang? Qingque?"

Li Tai came back to his senses and said quickly: "My son only thought of so much."

When he was in Jingyang, Li Zheng had already said in detail, and some words could be said, and some words could not be said.

Just to talk about the pretext of the father, the capable ministers under the father can arrange things well.

It is inappropriate to say too much, and you must not stop talking.

Seeing that his father was about to leave, he would not deal with the manager of Qujiangchi.

Li Tai glanced at Li Zheng proudly and followed his father's footsteps and left.

Li Chengqian's expression was a little dissatisfied and followed suit.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were all busy with their own affairs.

In Ganlu Palace, after Li Shimin sat down again, he saw Wang Ding’s secret report, which said that Xu Jingzong exploded with dust.

Looking at the report in his hand, Xu Jingzong could use some dust to make a house explode?

Is there such a thing?

Li Shimin was shocked and puzzled, "Call Su Dingfang."

"Here!"

The little eunuch hurried to do it. After half an hour, Su Dingfang came to Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin walked to Su Ding's side and said, "Tell me, what happened last night, what happened to the explosion of that house."

Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, "It was night at that time, and I didn't see it in detail. There was indeed a loud noise that could not be confirmed. But after that, the people from Jingyang surrounded us and we couldn't go up and investigate."

What Li Shimin was thinking about was the events that happened in those temples at that time, which seemed to be related to the explosion.

I pondered for a while, could the explosion in the temple be the same?

Looking at Su Dingfang's expression again, Li Shimin said, "Okay, you go back and rest early, and you haven't slept all night."

Su Dingfang bowed and said, "I will take my leave first."

After Su Dingfang left, Li Shimin said to the eunuch beside him: "Tell Wang Ding how to explode, and then call Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui."

"Here!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came to Ganlu Palace half an hour later. It was the imperial examination and Lingyan Pavilion. In addition, the many things in the Secretariat of the Secretariat on weekdays, these two people have been unable to separate these days.

Li Shimin told the two of them the method Li Tai said.

Fang Xuanling pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think this plan is a bit rough and needs to be arranged carefully."

Du Ruhui said: "You can first move with emotion and reason with reason, and then use interests to make Zhang Liang unable to refuse. As he presses step by step, he can even use threats to let him come to Chang'an. I know that Zhang Liang's outer house gave birth to a young son for Zhang Liang, and now he is raised in the east city of Chang'an."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "I have heard of it too."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This method is what Qingque said, but I am so familiar with the taste of this matter. It seems to be a bit like the method used to deal with Tuyuhun and Turks back then."

Du Ruhui said, "Your Majesty is talking about Li Zheng?"

Fang Xuanling also said: "His Highness the King of Wei and Li Zheng are getting close to each other. I think Li Zheng and His Highness the King of Wei also want to share the worries for His Majesty."

"Share the worries?" Li Shimin sneered, "Li Zheng will not share my worries easily. This kid stays in his own Jingyang and doesn't want to come out of the mountain at all."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui smiled bitterly, and that's true.

Du Ruhui said: "Li Zheng was a small farmer and was born in such a poor family since childhood. Maybe he has no great ambitions in his heart."
