"Liu Lang is right, but where should he be reprimanded?" Although Li Chengqian was exempt from death, he could not escape life. He was worried about where Li Chengqian should be reprimanded, because he understood that being a commoner Li Chengqian did not mean that he was safe. Many princes died on the road of being reprimanded in ancient times, which meant it was self-evident.
Li Yin understands what Li Shimin is worried about. Today, Yizhou is the safest place in the world and the most suitable place for people to live. Li Shimin is just testing Li Shimin's reaction.
"Father, if you still trust your ministers, you can demote the prince to Yizhou, where you can provide him with a job and let him live as an ordinary person for the rest of his life." The human Li Chengqian will no longer have the slightest threat, and it is convenient to monitor him by keeping him under his nose.
Li Shimin's words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun completely at ease. Li Shimin said: "Since you said so, the father will relegate him to Yizhou. From then on, he will be the people under your rule. If he commits a crime It's a crime, and I will let you deal with it later."
Li Yin nodded lightly and said: "Yes, father!" So, after discussing with the ministers, Li Shimin announced Li Zhi's death, and Li Chengqian demoted him as a commoner. When he arrived in Donglai, he was reduced to a county prince. The reason why Li Shimin dealt with Li Tai in this way is also after careful consideration, in order to protect them, so that they will not continue to have conflicts with Li Yin, so as to avoid future fatal disasters.
In a blink of an eye, the situation in the DPRK and China changed suddenly. The lineage of the eldest grandson declined, Li Chengqian was abolished and reduced to common people, Li Tai was demoted, Li You was bestowed to death, and Li Ke was appointed as an official in Jingzhou. In the entire ruling and opposition parties, only the prince Li Yin can take on the big responsibility, and more importantly, Li Yin's strength is unmatched by any prince. Everyone understands that the era belonging to Li Yin has come.
Sure enough, half a month after announcing Li Chengqian's dismissal, Li Shimin announced to the world that the sixth prince, Li Yin, succeeded him as the crown prince, and Sheng Tang Business Daily also began to report the matter in a large space, and the whole world knew it for a while. Li Shimin understood that Li Yin was different from other princes, he said: "Since this is the case, you should focus on the matters of the fief."
"Yes. Father." In fact, Li Yin did this to avoid suspicion. Now that Li Shimin has just experienced the rebellion of his two sons, if Li Yin is staying in Chang'an at this time. It must be that countless ministers came to pay their respects. At that time, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable. Instead of doing this, it is better to return to Yizhou to maintain the previous state, let Li Shimin handle government affairs normally, and deal with Yizhou affairs by himself, and help other people in Datang by the way. The development of prefectures and counties, after all, this Datang will be his after all, and there is no need to divide each other.
"Well, by the way, when will you return to Yizhou?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Li Yin knew that Li Shimin was reminding Li Shimin not to forget about Li Chengqian, he said: "I plan to go back the day after tomorrow, after all some big projects are about to start, when the time comes, I will bring my elder brother back together. "...
Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, and he sighed: "Hey, you still call him big brother."
"Royal father, although he is a commoner, we still have his blood." Li Yin said sincerely.
"Good, good, good." Li Shimin said three good words in succession, and once again felt that it was right for Li Yin to inherit the crown prince.
Because of these two incidents, Li Shimin's condition was not very good, and he became tired after talking for a while, Li Yin didn't stay long, and then he went to Yanxi Palace, Empress Changsun was also hit hard by this incident, and became seriously ill One, for this reason, Li Min also transferred Sun Simiao from Yizhou to treat Li Shimin and Empress Changsun specially, which improved a little.
Concubine Yang was accompanying Empress Changsun in Yanxi Palace. Empress Changsun was in a much better mood now. How could Li Chengqian's life be saved, but Concubine Yin's fate was not so good. On the day Li You was bestowed to die, she He became crazy, which made Li Yin feel the cruelty of the battle for the throne again, and at the same time made up his mind not to let anyone get involved in the throne, so as not to repeat the tragedy.
"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine." Li Yin said respectfully, although he is now the prince, he has not become domineering because of this, and is still as humble as before.
Concubine Yang looked at Li Yin who was wearing the clothes of the prince, but she was overjoyed when she realized what was happening. Her mother was naturally happy when her son became the prince, but she didn't want to make Empress Changsun think of sad things. .” Concubine Yang said.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Yin with a flash of pain in her eyes. Li Yin's attire still reminded him of Li Chengqian, and said, "Excuse me."
Concubine Yang caught a glimpse of Empress Changsun's expression, and she ordered Li Yin to come here: "Empress Empress, Liu Lang will leave Chang'an the day after tomorrow, and he will take the prince away with him at that time."
"Hey, don't call him the prince anymore, Liu Lang is the prince now, just call him Li Chengqian." Empress Changsun still pays attention to etiquette, and it is inappropriate to call Li Chengqian the prince at this time.
Li Yin said: "Mother, Liu Lang will not forget his brotherhood even if he is a prince. After returning to Yizhou, my minister will arrange him into a state-owned enterprise in Yizhou, and there will be no need to worry about food and drink expenses."
Empress Changsun of this state-owned enterprise has also heard about it. It is said that the monthly salary is very high. Hearing this, Empress Changsun said happily: "This is thanks to the prince."
Concubine Yang also said: "Empress, this is only Liu Lang's wish, so you don't have to worry about it."
Empress Changsun nodded, and then burst into tears after remembering something.
Li Yan shook his head helplessly.
After staying with Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang in Yanxi Hall for a while, Li Yin went back to the hotel. At this time, there were already a lot of officials waiting at the door of the hotel. These days, this kind of scene happened every day. Officials surnamed Qiwang also rushed to congratulate them, so Li Yin basically dealt with these officials every day.
Seeing an old car approaching, the officials knew that it was Li Yin's return, and quickly surrounded the car.
Li Yin got out of the car with a polite smile, and greeted them one by one. Whether it was an official who was close to him before or an official who had been right with him before, he always greeted them with a smile. Now that they see clearly that the situation is turning to Li Yin, there is no need for Li Yin to go after the old debt, otherwise wouldn't it be an embarrassment for themselves?
After two days of congratulations from officials in the hotel, it was time for him to return to Yizhou.
"Your Highness, where are we going now?" Rong Da asked, these days Rong Da is full of glory, overnight the Shu Palace became the Prince's Mansion, his future is boundless, when the officials came, they often curry favor with him. Butler, it made him a little bit flustered, but he still remembered Li Yin's saying that one should keep a low profile, and be a man with his tail between his legs.
"East Palace!" Li Yin said, Li Chengqian had been imprisoned in the East Palace throughout the review process of the case.
Rong Da was already very familiar with the roads in Chang'an, so he said yes, and turned to the East Palace in a short while.
"His Royal Highness!" When Li Yin got out of the car, all the guards bowed and saluted. Standing behind Li Yin, Rong Da was proud again. This East Palace was out of reach before, but now we don't want to live there.
Li Yan asked the guards to excuse him, and then said: "Too...no, where is Li Chengqian now?"
"Go back to His Royal Highness, still in the house where he was imprisoned." The guard said.
"Bring them out, the prince will be sent to Yizhou." Li Yin said.
In response, the guards turned and left. After a while, four guards walked out of the East Palace with a man, three women, and two children. Benevolence is exhausted.
At this time, Li Chengqian was wearing an ordinary blue round neck shirt. The princess, Ashinalan and Hou Haitang were all dressed up as ordinary women, no longer the glory of the past, with a lonely expression on their faces.
"The common man Li Chengqian greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" After leaving the gate of the East Palace, Li Chengqian bowed to Li Yin when he saw him.
Li Yin sighed slightly, he felt that Li Chengqian had completely changed, maybe when he lost his ambition for power, the most essential temperament in his heart would be revealed, "Don't be polite, big brother doesn't have to be like this."
Li Chengqian saluted again: "Your Highness, don't call him that. Li Chengqian dare not be a grassroots man. Now Li Chengqian just wants to raise his wife and children."
Hearing this, Li Yin looked at the boy in Ashinalan's arms and the seven or eight-year-old child held by the former concubine Su Shi. Seeing Li Yin's gaze, the three women all showed fear. Now they are still lost. everything.
Li Yin nodded and said: "Don't worry, big brother, I have promised my father to let you go to Yizhou, and you don't have to worry about safety when you get there."
Li Chengqian was moved in his heart, but he couldn't say it out of his mouth. After he lost power, Li Yin could still treat him like this, which made him really feel sorry for Li Yin before.
"Get in the car!" Li Yin said, pointing to the classic car behind him. u
