In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, with a worried expression on his face. He was thinking about how to deal with the courtiers' accusations against Li Yin. How could he not understand the ulterior motives of these ministers.
Li Shimin has been living in various conspiracies and tricks since following Li Yuan in Taiyuan. In order to guard against the enemy, he has always held an independent intelligence agency—Neiwei. It was this agency that let him know that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were in Wude The Hongmen Banquet held six years ago escaped the catastrophe in time. Before that, this institution was always in the hands of Du Ruhui. After Du Ruhui died of illness, this institution was handed over to Wang Gui, the servant of Huangmen.
It is also through this institution that he can keep abreast of the court's movements at any time, and there are inner guards around each of his sons, so he learned that Li Chengqian accepted bribes from Chang's, and Li Yin's There is also such a person in Liang Wangfu, so even if everyone thinks that Li Yin is rebellious, he knows that Li Yin is innocent, but the inner guard is not omnipotent after all, and he has no awareness of Chang's conspiracy, and he can't come up with any evidence. The evidence justifies Li Yin.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is here." Wang Gui's voice broke the tranquility of Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin temporarily stopped thinking, and said, "Let him in!"
Received Wang Gui's reply, Li Yin entered the Ganlu Hall. This time Li Shimin did not review the memorial as usual, but stood in front of the window, looking at the lush elm trees in the yard.
"Your servants see the father!" Li Yin saluted habitually.
Li Shimin waved his hand, "Get up, Li Ke should have told you about the form of the court, what do you think?"
Li Shimin asked so directly, Li Yin didn't need to hide it: "My son's current crimes can be big or small!"
"Can it be big or small? Conspiracy is a serious crime of beheading!" Li Shimin stared at Li Yin sternly.
"Father, do you believe that your ministers will rebel?" Li Yin asked Li Shimin's gaze.
Li Shimin tried hard to find a look of panic in Li Yin's eyes, but what he saw was calm as water. At this moment, he suddenly had a momentary trance. Is this Li Yin his son? In the past, Li Yin was the one who was trembling with fright even after glancing at him, "Father believes in you, but what should the ministers do? Father can't risk the disgrace of the world and keep a prince who can't tell whether he is rebellious or not by his side." !"
"Father, it's not what the ministers believe, but what they are willing to believe. Their purpose should be clearer than mine. What they want is a balance, and I broke this balance, so they chased me Don't let go!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Min with his head down in surprise, and said, "You are smarter than I imagined, Miner, and my father is also from that era. I would never have thought about fighting for the throne back then. If it wasn't for their hard work They forced each other, drove me to a dead end, how could I fight against each other and kill each other!" Speaking of this, Li Shimin's breathing gradually became heavy, and he never forgot the memory of the blood-stained palace wall of Xuanwumen.
After taking a deep breath for a while, Li Shimin continued: "I set a bad example for you guys. Over the years, I have worked hard to balance the power of the crown prince, King Wei and Li Ke. As you said, it was you who broke the balance. These days, Father is also thinking about how to get you through this crisis and restore this balance, thinking about it can only wrong you!"
Li Yin's heart arose. It turned out that Li Shimin had already thought of a countermeasure, and he asked carefully: "Please tell me clearly, Father!"
"Change the title to the king of Shu, and serve as the governor of Yizhou. Without the emperor's order, you are not allowed to enter Beijing without authorization!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Li Yin was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to be the same as he thought. In the tenth year of Zhenguan in history, Li Shimin changed Li Yin to be the king of Shu and led the governor of Yizhou. At that time, he didn't like his son, so he sent Li Yin away. He is far away, but now he is protecting Li Yin, but no matter what, Li Yin still has not escaped the fate of wandering around the land of Bashu.
"Are you not satisfied with this decision?" Seeing that Li Yin did not speak, Li Shimin asked.
After walking a few steps back and forth, Li Shimin said: "Father, after looking around, he thinks this place is suitable. It is too close to Chang'an, and they must not worry about it. It is too remote and you are too wronged. And Yizhou passed through the construction of Qin and Han Dynasties to the former Sui Dynasty. The population has grown tremendously, and there are 100,000 households in Yizhou City alone, not counting the 14 surrounding counties.”
"Furthermore, Father has other intentions for letting you go there. Tuyuhun is now eyeing Datang, and the six tribes in the Erhai region have harassed Yizhou City every year. Last year, they even invaded Yizhou City and plundered it. As soon as Tang's army arrived, they disappeared without a trace, so you will have a hard time there! Father asked you to serve as the governor of Yizhou and the commander-in-chief of Yizhou military administration, so that you can use your fists to manage Bashu!"
Li Yin’s admiration for Li Shimin has increased. He did not expect him to have such a vision. In history, Bashu has indeed become the granary of the Tang Dynasty and helped the royal family of the Tang Dynasty to escape several crises of subjugation.
"Yes, my father, my son will live up to my father's trust!" Li Yin said firmly.
Li Shimin nodded: "Don't say anything to you tomorrow morning, the emperor has arranged for someone to speak for you, I think they will accept this decision, but after arriving in Yizhou, it is up to you. Whether it is life or death, it is up to you." It depends on your ability and luck."
"I understand!"
"Okay, go and see your concubine mother, she cried a few times for you, remember to have a longer memory in the future, don't be misled by beauty!" Li Shimin blamed.
Li Yin felt guilty for a while, the one he felt most sorry for was Concubine Yang, and he had to bear the pain of parting again.
Leaving Ganlu Palace, Li Yin went to Ziyun Pavilion. After the maid informed, Qing He ran out first. Seeing Li Yin, Qing He ran all the way over and threw himself into Li Yin's arms and cried: "Sixth brother, what should we do now?"
Li Yan patted Qinghe on the back and comforted him: "Don't cry, brother six is fine, where is the concubine mother!"
Qinghe said: "Mother Concubine is worried that you haven't slept well for several nights, I just comforted her to sleep!"
Li Yin nodded and pulled Qinghe into the house, he said: "Qinghe, after I leave, you must take good care of your mother and concubine, Cheng Huailiang also has to take care of this kid, the crown prince and the king of Wei will not guarantee that he will wear shoes , he has an impulsive personality, so it is inevitable that he will not fall into the trap."
"Sixth brother, you want to go?" Qinghe heard the voice in Li Yin's words.
Li Yin did not hide from her, and said: "Yes, Father knows that I am innocent, but in order to appease the ministers, he can only let me go to Yizhou to serve as the governor of Yizhou!"
"Father knows you are innocent, so what are you afraid of those ministers doing! He is the emperor! I will go to Father now and ask him to keep you in Chang'an!" Qinghe burst into tears again, stood up and wanted to leave.
Li Yin hurriedly pressed her down, and said: "Don't mess around, Father, this is for my own good!"
Qinghe cried: "But you are obviously innocent..."
Qinghe cried sadly, which made Li Yin very distressed. He was about to comfort Qinghe, when Concubine Yang came out: "Qinghe, your father is right, listen to your sixth brother, don't bother your father, he It must be uncomfortable!"
