I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 584 Decision
Li Xiaogong smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, I have been so devoted to enjoying myself these years that I can no longer hold a sword. The art of war and strategy have been studied for many years. The battle on the grassland is of great importance and cannot be lost. Your Majesty should choose another master."

It is definitely impossible not to be able to lift the knife, but the momentum in Li Xiaogong's heart is gone.

Li Shimin stared at Li Xiaogong for a long time, the atmosphere in the whole hall was a bit depressed.

"Forget it, since you don't want to, forget it, Daozong, you will lead the army this time." Li Shimin said somewhat dispirited.

"I obey the order." Li Daozong replied.

Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "You all step back."

"I'm waiting to retire."

The two walked out of the Ganlu Hall, and neither of them spoke along the way.

When approaching the gate of the palace, Li Xiaogong said: "Why did you tell His Majesty that? There are so many people in the court, but there are few smart people? Why no one dares to say it?"

Li Daozong was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "This world has also paid for my hard work. I have been holding back to not say it before, but since your majesty asked me, I have to say it."

He naturally understood that if one of his words was bad, neither he nor his family would end well.

But as he said, when he was fighting the world, he also gave a lot, and he wanted Datang, which he had worked so hard for, to be more prosperous.

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said nothing more.

He used to be the same, but ever since he was suspected by Li Yuan and transferred back to Chang'an, he became disheartened.

"What about you? Your Majesty asked you to lead the army, why don't you go? Don't fool me with what you said just now, I believe that His Majesty doesn't believe what you just said." Li Daozong asked.

Li Xiaogong smiled and said: "I didn't fool you, I am really old."

Others are not old, but the heart is old.

……

Manna Hall

After Li Xiaogong and the two left, Li Shimin sat there, his expression changing, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Li Mu."

Li Mu walked into the main hall, bowed and said, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"It is my oral order to order Li Tai, the king of Wei, to go to Yangzhou to join the domain within three days. There must be no mistake!" Li Shimin said.

"Yes."

Li Mu responded and was ready to leave.

"Wait, if Qingque comes to see me, just refuse it." Li Shimin said with his eyes closed.

At the beginning, Li Yuan transferred all his confidants and soldiers away, and he also resented Li Yuan.

At this moment, he finally felt Li Yuan's mood back then.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai are both his sons, with fleshy palms and backs, but for the stability of the court, he had to be ruthless.

"Yes."

Li Mu bowed and retreated.

Not long after Li Mu left, a young eunuch walked in.

Li Shimin was in a bad mood. Hearing footsteps, he said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, General Li is asking to see you." The little eunuch lowered his head and said.

"Let him in."

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly retreated out. Not long after, Li Junxian walked in.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Junxian took out a letter and said, "Report to Your Majesty, a secret letter from Baiqi."

Li Shimin took the letter and saw that the wax outside was normal, so he opened the letter and read it.

"Nizi!" Li Shimin scolded with a gloomy face after reading half of the letter.

Li Junxian lowered his head and stood there quietly.

He didn't know the content of the letter, and he didn't ask.

For a man like him, the less he knows, the better.

"Go, bring King Yan to me." Li Shimin said coldly.

"Yes."

"Wait, go and pass on the prince first, we will talk about King Yan later." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Li Junxian didn't dare to ask more questions, and withdrew.

……

Hibiscus Garden

Li Tai said with a smile: "It's still the master's idea. If the emperor doesn't invite me to go, I can just go by myself."

"Your Highness, for similar things in the future, whether His Majesty calls you or not, you have to find a way to go, otherwise it will be very detrimental to Your Highness." Han Wen laughed.

Compared with Li Chengqian's status as the eldest son, if Li Tai wants to seize the heir, the only thing he can rely on is Li Shimin's love.

On occasions like today, if Li Tai is not around, many people will think that Li Tai has fallen out of favor.

In this way, those who support him will definitely be moved.

"Don't worry, sir, I understand this article." Li Tai smiled.

At this moment, an eunuch came over and said, "His Royal Highness, Eunuch Li from the palace is here."

"What is Eunuch Li doing here?" Li Tai was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, no matter why he came here, His Highness should go to see him and be courteous. He is someone close to His Majesty, and it is always right to make friends with him," Han Wen said.

Li Tai said with an ugly face: "Do you think this article doesn't know? My king has shown his favor to him many times, but he is very distant from me."

Han Wen cursed inwardly, how could such an idiot stand on the table.

Li Mu is Li Shimin's confidant eunuch, how dare he get too close to you.

He asked Li Tai to befriend him, but he was actually showing his favor, so that Li Mu would not be drawn over by Li Chengqian.

As for wooing the people around Li Shimin, he never thought about it.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Li is someone close to His Majesty. He came here suddenly. It should be that His Majesty has something to ask His Highness. Your Highness should go quickly." Han Wen said.

"The king knows."

After Li Tai finished speaking, he got up directly and went to the front hall.

When he came to the front hall, before entering, Li Tai had a smile on his face.

From a distance, he smiled and said: "Eunuch Li, if the emperor has something to order, you can just send someone here, why bother Eunuch Li to go there in person."

Li Mu saluted, and said calmly: "This old slave has seen His Highness, and His Majesty has a message for His Highness."

Li Tai smiled, stood up with a bow, and said, "I accept the order."

"Your Majesty ordered the king of Wei to go to Yangzhou within three days to take over the feudal domain." Li Mu said.

"what!"

Li Mu's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Li Tai stand on the spot in a daze.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, His Majesty's order has been delivered, and the old slave will go back first." Li Mu said.

"Wait." Seeing that Li Mu was about to leave, Li Tai quickly stopped him and asked, "Eunuch Li, why did the emperor suddenly make such an order?"

"The old slave is just a slave, why His Majesty issued such an oral order, the old slave doesn't know."

After speaking, Li Mu bowed and left directly.

Li Tai stood where he was, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was gloomy.

How to go to the feudal clan, the throne has nothing to do with him.

A lot of things, if you haven't thought about it, it's nothing.

But he has been thinking about the throne for so long, and he is full of confidence. Now that he is asked to give up, how can he accept it?

"what!"

Li Tai yelled and kicked down the censer in the center of the hall.

Kicking the censer down, he was still angry, grabbed the ornaments in the hall and fell down.

The maids and eunuchs serving in the main hall lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

Li Tai was fat, and soon lost his strength, hunched over and panted.

"My king is not reconciled." Li Tai took a few breaths, left the hall with red eyes.

"Your Highness, what happened?"

Han Wen saw Li Tai's face was ugly, and he came back with messy steps. For some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
