As time passed day by day, the atmosphere in Chang'an City gradually became weird.

Above the court, Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji almost exhausted all means to slander Li Shimin.

And it's not just the frontal battlefield, Li Jiancheng also let the harem concubines who he had befriended with him have a pillow breeze with Li Yuan.

Li Shimin has nothing to do about this - in the course of the war to unify the world, the main thing is that he is in charge of fighting abroad, and Li Jiancheng is in charge of logistics, which has a natural advantage.

It's just that the east corner was lost, and Sangyu was harvested. Li Wenbin, who was originally only a partial teacher, achieved unexpected results in the market.

Now among the common people, the sympathy for King Qin has almost reached its peak - if Datang had votes, Li Shimin would undoubtedly be elected as the emperor of Datang with a high number of votes.

It's not that Li Jiancheng didn't hear the rumors circulating among the people, but he didn't care at all-in his opinion, they were just a bunch of mud legs, what big waves could they cause?
However, His Royal Highness the Great Tang Crown Prince soon suffered.

Instructed by Li Jiancheng, the censor officials who attacked Li Shimin wantonly in the court hall went down, and before they returned home, they were surrounded by angry people.

"You dog official, why did you frame King Qin?"

"If there was no King Qin, this Chang'an would have been defeated by the Turkic barbarians long ago. Are you blind?"

"I think he is not only blind in his eyes, but also blind in his heart."

"Hey, why is this ungrateful person still serving as an official? I throw a bone to a stray dog, and the dog still knows how to wag its tail at me!"

The censors who were blocked were speechless, and they didn't dare to do anything at all, and they didn't even dare to talk back--all the neighbors who surrounded him lived in the same square, and even a first-rank official couldn't put the official authority down. out on the neighbors.

There is an interesting story recorded in the later Tang Dynasty books. The neighbor of Changsun Wuji's family is a small family, and the ancestral house is not as big as his courtyard.

But when the son of this family got married, he solemnly invited the eldest grandson Wuji—in the end, the big man who was already the Duke of Zhao at that time, and the head of the civil servants of the court just sat down among a group of common people and had a good drink. Then came home drunk.

This is the case for the dignified first rank, not to mention that they are only seventh rank censors?

The common people have their own set of simple thoughts, and the censors can't beat them, and they can't talk about them. In the end, they have to run around and close the door.

In this way, the number of people who attacked and criticized Li Shimin the next day was greatly reduced—the young censors could only pretend to be dead or invisible to Li Jiancheng's fierce eyes, which also made King Qin, who had been pretending to be a wooden man in the court hall for many days, Can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Back in the palace, Changsun Wugou saw the smile on Li Shimin's face and couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord, is there any good news?"

"Unexpectedly, I thought it was the kid Wen Bin who was messing around, but unexpectedly, he received a miraculous effect. It's really unpredictable."

After listening to Li Shimin's description, the eldest grandson Wugou sighed: "I just didn't want to neglect that child, but instead he became a surprise soldier. Maybe it's because God is protecting the prince."

"I would like to borrow your good words, Guanyin servant girl. By the way, what is that child Wen Bin doing?"

"I've been hiding in my own courtyard for the past few days, and I don't know what I'm busy with."

"Let's go, let's go and see together."

The husband and wife did not bring any entourage, only Qiuxiang followed them all the way to the courtyard where Li Wenbin lived.

Before passing the Moon Gate, I heard Li Tai's voice coming from inside.

"Li Wenbin, why didn't you continue talking? Then what happened after Nie Xiaoqian left? Who is better, the dryad grandma or Yan Chixia? Is he going to worship Yan Chixia as his teacher?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou looked at each other: What's going on?

Li Wenbin's slow voice sounded: "King Wei, don't worry, the story behind will be even more exciting."

"But Ning Caichen met Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost, and was teased again. He couldn't help but feel flustered in his heart, and didn't fall asleep until late at night."

"I don't know how long it took, but Ning Caichen was awakened by a noise in the room..."

"Is that Nie Xiaoqian back?"

Li Tai's voice was a little trembling, obviously extremely excited, even Li Shimin's ears couldn't help but perk up.

Then I heard Li Wenbin continue to say: "Ning Caichen opened his eyes, only to find Yan Chixia standing in front of his bed with red eyes, as if possessed by an evil spirit."

"Then Yan Chixia yelled: Sour scholar, seeing you with thin skin and tender flesh, it would be better to give you some money than to take advantage of that female ghost. After finishing speaking, she rushed towards Ning Caichen..."

After a while of silence, Li Shimin and his wife heard Li Tai yell, and then ran away without a trace.

"Little prince, isn't it good for you to be like this..."

Kisaragi said dumbfounded.

"What do you know, I'm letting him experience the dangers of the world in advance. This is of great benefit to him. You... ah!"

Li Wenbin was talking triumphantly when he felt a sharp pain in his ears, turned his head and saw Changsun Wugou twisting his ears, his brows stood on end, obviously extremely angry.

"Qingque is only six years old, you, you..."

"Mother, spare your life. The son knows he was wrong. Keep him under the knife."

"If I see you looking tired and lazy again, I won't take it lightly."

"Hiss... my son understands." Rubbing his red ears, Li Wenbin keenly noticed that Li Shimin's mood was obviously very good, "Father, but did something good happen?"

"Well, thanks to your idea, my father received a lot less attack in court, and it's all thanks to you."

"Father, you are absurd. In fact, it still depends on your credit. Otherwise, no matter what your son does, it will be nothing but rootless water."

"Come, sit down and talk."

The three sat down, and Li Shimin asked, "Wen Bin, what do you think the crown prince will do next?"

Before he knew it, Li Shimin had already regarded Li Wenbin as an important counselor.

"Father, my son thinks that the prince should have fallen into a crazy situation, and he will use any means to deal with you, father."

“How come you see?”

"Although the crown prince is the crown prince of a country, his talents are far inferior to his father's. That's why he can't wait to deal with you."

"And now he has suffered again, and the means he relied on originally didn't work, which will make him even more unscrupulous."

"My son guesses that the crown prince will not give up if he fails to frame Zhang Liang. Instead, he will use multiple methods, bribery and frame-up, in an attempt to cut off his father's right and left arm."

At this moment, a servant came to report: Yuchi Jingde asked to see him.
