In Chang'an, the eunuchs and palace maids in Wude Hall were scared and trembling. The roar of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty could be heard from afar, "This is my son, is this the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

In the imperial study room, Pei Ji kept persuading Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, please calm down your anger, this matter is not yet concluded!"

"How can I calm down my anger when you ask me to do this? How can I hand over the country to him with such a prince?"

Li Yuan was furious and kept beating his fists on the table. Pei Ji told him something secretly that almost blew his lungs. The reason was that Yin Guiping, the father of Concubine Yin De, wanted to plan a piece of fertile land in Chengdu.

The owner of the fertile land was more than 100 farmers, and they refused to sell it. Afterwards, Yin Guiping invited Prince Li Jiancheng to put pressure on Gao Biaoren, the prefect of Shu County, and finally used the power of the government to seize the land at an extremely low price.

As a result, more than 100 farmers collectively went to Beijing to file a lawsuit, alarming Li Shimin. Under his attention, Tang Feng quickly found out the truth, and Li Shimin instructed Pei Ji to sue the matter secretly for the emperor.

Li Yuan was angry and attached great importance to land annexation. He knew that land annexation would be a sign of a country's demise. Therefore, Li Yuan would rather reward the unowned land to the nobles of the meritorious officials and nobles, than allow land annexation.

Any dynasty was relatively clear in politics at the beginning of its founding, and had a good reputation among the people. This is because the demise of the previous dynasty eliminated a large number of interest classes, with sparse population and abundant resources. Therefore, although the emerging powerful and powerful class obtained a lot of benefits, because of the large resources, the people could still get a share of the pie and they could tolerate the exploitation of the powerful.

However, as resources become less and less, the appetite of the powerful class does not shrink accordingly. Instead, it becomes bigger and bigger. When the profits are getting more and more greedy, the people cannot survive, and rebellion will break out and there will be changes of dynasties. This is true in all dynasties. Li Yuan knows this very well. Therefore, he must never allow land annexation to occur.

More importantly, Yin Guiping obtained this land through the pressure from the prince, which shows that the relationship between Yin Guiping and the prince is extraordinary. So what is the relationship between Yin Defei and the prince? The anger of land annexation and Li Yuan's suspicion of the prince made him unable to control his anger and completely exploded.

Although Pei Ji persuaded Li Yuan to calm down, he was secretly happy in his heart. In his memory, he had never seen Li Yuan so angry. It is very likely that Li Yuan would depose the prince.

He was extremely proud, but he said hypocritically: "Your Majesty, it's better to ask the prince again, what's going on? Don't wrongly accuse His Highness of the Prince."

"I want to ask him and ask him to give me an explanation."

Li Yuan was so angry that his chest was fluctuating violently. He forcibly restrained the anger in his heart and shouted: "Transfer my will and let the prince come to see me immediately!"

...........

In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Prince Li Jiancheng was sorting out a joint letter signed by hundreds of officials to oppose the war. King Li Shimin of Qin tried his best to persuade his father to take advantage of the Turks' opportunity to attack the Sui Dynasty, capture the six counties in the north of Guanyin, and recapture Huining County.

However, Li Jiancheng firmly opposed the injustice, which would not only lead the Tang Dynasty to injustice, but also be subject to fierce revenge from the Sui Dynasty, which would eventually seriously damage the interests of the Tang Dynasty. In order to prevent his father from being persuaded by the King of Qin, Li Jiancheng also used his authority to mobilize all officials above the fifth rank to boycott the war.

Li Jiancheng knew that this was the sharpest killer move. The last time he fought against Xiao Xian, he mobilized dozens of important officials to collectively oppose it, so that his father finally gave up his idea of ​​sending troops. This time, he wanted to use greater pressure to suppress the war between his father and his father.

Li Jiancheng was generous to others and was more pragmatic in his consideration of issues. He did everything from the perspective of the interests of the Tang Dynasty. He did not realize that doing so would arouse his father's suspicion about his excessive power.

Although Li Jiancheng did not realize it, his confidant ministers around him realized that Prince Yun and Wang Gui were one of Li Jiancheng's confidants. He heard that the prince was going to mobilize officials above the fifth rank to collectively oppose the war against the Sui Dynasty, which made him deeply worried.

At this time, Wang Gui was in Li Jiancheng's room and tried hard to persuade Li Jiancheng: "Although your highness will do this, it will be very effective and force the Lord to cancel the war, but your highness has thought about it. What does this make the Lord think of Your Highness? He can actually use 85% of officials above the fifth rank to object, which will make the Lord feel threatened by Your Highness. Your Highness, the reason why the Lord let the King of Qin interfere in politics and allows him to establish the Tiance Mansion to appoint officials himself is probably related to the fact that Your Highness has too high authority in the court. You are unpredictable, Your Highness must be taboo!"

Li Jiancheng fell into deep thought, perhaps called the authorities' obsessed. He never realized the seriousness of this problem. He has always regarded urging all officials to oppose him as his last killer weapon. He has been very skilled in the past two years and has never thought that he would anger his father and make him suspicious.

Li Jiancheng was not stupid, nor was he stubborn. On the contrary, he was an extremely smart, humble, and good at accepting advice. Wang Gui's words made him realize that his use of petitions by officials was a bit too prominent in his influence in the court and would make his father afraid.

After understanding this, he began to hesitate. It was indeed inappropriate to use petitions from all officials to oppose the war. However, he already felt that his father was becoming more and more inclined to start the war. How should he persuade him?

At this time, a guard reported at the door: "Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang is here and said that the emperor has an order to order Your Highness to enter the palace immediately."

Li Jiancheng nodded, "I understand!"

At this moment, he finally made a decision. He would not give the petition from all officials to his father for the time being. He would first check the situation. He changed his clothes and walked out of the palace quickly.

The eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict was an old eunuch with the surname Zhang. He had been in the palace for many years and was now in charge of the imperial study. He had a very good relationship with the prince Jiancheng. He was waiting anxiously outside the palace. When he saw Li Jiancheng coming out, Eunuch Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, something happened."

"What happened?" Li Jiancheng looked frightened when he saw him, and secretly felt something was wrong.

"Your Highness, Pei Xiangguo secretly reported to the emperor today, as if he had said that the matter of Chengdu land might be related to Your Highness. The emperor was furious and was furious in the imperial study room, asking Your Highness to see him immediately."

Li Jiancheng was so shocked that his scalp was almost blown up. Could it be that Yin Guiping's incident in Chengdu? How could Pei Ji know that the incident was indeed related to him, but it was not very much about him. He just greeted Gao Biaoren, but he did not ask what the final outcome was. Did something big happen?

Li Jiancheng was extremely nervous and was in a mess. He didn't know what to do for a moment, but the old eunuch reminded him, "Your Highness, go to the palace first! The emperor is waiting. Let the emperor wait for a long time, which will anger him even more."

Li Jiancheng nodded. No matter what, he should first be upright and show sincerity. Without thinking carefully, he immediately set off for the Wude Hall.

After walking all the way, Li Jiancheng came to the door of the Imperial Study Room. At this time, an eunuch ran out, "Your Highness, go in quickly! The emperor is already anxious."

Li Jiancheng hurriedly walked into the imperial room and saw Li Yuan's blood-red eyes facing him. Li Yuan slapped the table hard, "You have the face to see me!"

Li Jiancheng could feel his father's anger, so he knelt down in a hurry, "Father, please calm down and take care of the dragon's body. I hope you will confess everything."

Li Yuan snorted heavily and said to Pei Ji: "Tell him, I want to see how he explains it?"

The person Pei Ji hated the most before was Liu Wenjing. He had no deep conflicts with Li Jiancheng, but because he supported the King of Qin, he had a bad relationship with the prince.

Especially Pei Ji knew that if Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, his first choice was to deal with him, so Pei Ji had been trying every means to shake Li Jiancheng's foundation. This time Li Shimin gave him the opportunity, and he knew what to do without even teaching him.

Pei Ji laughed dryly, "Your Highness, you don't know about Yin Guiping's buying land!"

Li Jiancheng's heart was shocked. It was indeed this. He didn't know what evidence Pei Ji had caught, but it was difficult to deny it. He nodded, "I know this, but it has nothing to do with me. Please continue to say, what happened?"

"Okay! I'll just say it."

Pei Ji was not polite, and said in a slightly cold tone: "This is a typical land merger case. Yin Guiping forcibly bought dozens of hectares of fertile land at a low price of ten hang per mu. The Censorate had sent someone to investigate. Gao Biaoren admitted that this was the pressure on him, so we don't understand what the relationship between Your Highness and Yin Guiping?"

Sweat oozed from Li Jiancheng's forehead. He suddenly realized that this matter was not only annexation of land, but also involved his relationship with Concubine Yin. The father was probably more annoyed by the latter.

Li Yuan stared at Jiancheng with cold eyes, "I also want to know why you are so enthusiastic about doing things for Yin Guiping?"

Li Jiancheng wiped off the sweat from his forehead and quickly explained: "Father, it's not that true. Yin Guiping has nothing to do with Erchen. It's just because he is Yin Defei's father and a relative of the royal family, Erchen helped him, and there is absolutely no other meaning."

"That's strange. Why didn't he look for me? He could have asked Concubine Yin De to come to me. He is the father-in-law, and it is even more reasonable for me to help him. Is my influence not as good as the prince?"

Li Yuan's words were very sharp, and his tone was full of suspicion and dissatisfaction. Li Jiancheng was even more frightened and explained again: "Father, Yin Guiping came to find Erchen because Erchen had a good personal relationship with Gao Biaoren, the prefect of Shu County. Gao Biaoren was the son of Gao Biao. He had a lot of contact with Erchen back then, so Yin Guiping wanted to come to find Erchen for help."

Li Yuan stared at Li Jiancheng with an eagle-like eyes. Although Li Jiancheng's explanation was a bit far-fetched, it was also a reason. The key was that Pei Ji was by his side. Li Yuan did not want to pursue Yin Defei too much for the time being. He was afraid that he would cause any family scandal and investigate it later.

"Okay! Let's not mention Yin Guiping's relationship with you for now. I'll ask you, as the prince, don't you know the serious consequences of the annexation of land?"
