    Daping was in high spirits and kept toasting Zuo Shaoyang. Mai kept talking about his future plans after the birth of his son.  I heard Zuo Shaoyang nodding frequently.  After drinking for a while, the prince saw that his wife Zuo Zhi was a little tired, so he asked the maid to help his wife Zuo Zhi back to rest, and he accompanied his father-in-law to enjoy flowers, drink and talk in the back garden.  After Zuo Zhi left, the prince said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Your father-in-law," my husband-in-law built a pavilion by the lotus pond in the garden. I wonder if his father-in-law is interested in visiting?  Zuo Shaoyang knew that something must be wrong with the prince being so humble to him today, so he nodded immediately. The two of them strolled forward, not far away, and arrived at a pond. As expected, there was a small building beside the pond. The prince asked his attendants to wait.  Downstairs, I accompanied Zuo Shaoyang to the third floor of the pavilion, holding on to the railing and looking far into the distance. Most of the scenery of the imperial city was in full view. Zuo Shaoyang twirled his beard and looked at the palace with a smile, as if the beautiful scenery in front of him was really too beautiful to take in.  The prince whispered uneasily: "Yue Ren?"  " Zuo Shaoyang suddenly woke up as if from a dream and looked back at him: "Huh?  The prince coughed slightly and said with a smile on his face: "My father-in-law has been practicing Taoism with my father these days. I wonder how I am progressing?"  "    "Good!  The emperor is naturally intelligent and has extremely high understanding. If he were not an emperor but a Taoist, his achievements would definitely be no less than that of our senior brother Sun Simiao.  The prince rubbed his hands excitedly: "That's great. Thanks to my father-in-law's careful guidance, my father has achieved this achievement!"  "Hehe" Zuo Shaoyang glanced at him sideways: "The prince invited me to this pavilion, not just to ask the emperor about cultivating Taoism, right?"  " "This" "Prince, if you have something to say, just say it directly. I don't like people who mince words and hesitate.  " The prince was a little frightened He stammered, carefully thinking about his words and said slowly: "Uh" Well, that's" My son-in-law has something to ask for, but "It's not easy to talk about. Ah"  ¡­ ¡°Prince, if you have something to say, please tell me!  " Taiche hesitated for a while then said: "Father today called my son-in-law today and said "No" Zuo Shaoyang frowned: "What happened to the prince today? He hesitated about mother-in-law and mother-in-law."  Yes, it¡¯s not like the prince¡¯s previous style!¡± The prince blushed and said, ¡°Well, it¡¯s like this My father told my son-in-law today that he has decided that from today on, all military use must be approved by his father.  In addition, the rest of the government affairs will be handled by my uncle Changsun Wuji and I through consultation. " Zuo Shaoyang was shocked. This is not a good thing when the emperor hands over power.  However, the emperor had been thinking about this for a long time. He had dissuaded him last time, but now he did not discuss it with him anymore, but directly called the prince to tell him about the matter. It was obvious that he had made up his mind. If he wanted him to take his life back, he would probably  Impossible.  Since it is no longer possible, we can only act according to circumstances!  Zuo Shaoyang's thoughts were like lightning, but his expression remained unchanged. He turned around and said, "Isn't that a good thing? Now there is peace in all directions. As long as the swords are not in use, the emperor will not interfere with the affairs of the government. You will become the emperor in the true sense."  Are you done? Congratulations!" After saying that, he handed over his hands.  The prince hurriedly returned the courtesy. Although his face was somewhat proud, he could not suppress his worry. He said with a grimace: "My father wanted my son-in-law to co-govern with my uncle. However, my father-in-law also knows that Changsun Wuji is the leader of the two dynasties."  The elder, the founding father, and my biological uncle, nominally I am in power with him, but in fact, he is the one who decides on all the big and small things, and many things do not go through me at all. Last time, my father-in-law and my father went to Huashan to practice.  My uncle and I were ordered to act together as agents of the government. Although many things seemed to have been decided, only I knew that most of those things were done by me after my uncle agreed or after he came up with the idea.  , he mostly instigated the three provinces to shirk their duties! Therefore, this coordinated governance really has no taste at all!" When he said the last part, the prince's voice was choked up. Indeed, it felt uncomfortable to be a puppet.  Zuo Shaoyang rolled his eyes twice and said, "You tell me this because you want me to do something for you?" The prince quickly suppressed his sobs and cupped his hands and said, "My father-in-law is my father's senior brother, and my father has always said  My father-in-law relies on me very much. Could you ask your father-in-law to tell my father not to let my uncle assist the government? I wonder if" Zuo Shaoyang said: "This is not easy to handle. Changsun Wuji is a veteran of the court and the emperor's most important person.  The minister he relies on has been assisting the government in the past, but suddenly he is not allowed to assist the government. I am afraid that he will have some ideas and the monarch and the ministers will be jealous, which may not be a good thing for the country. "I can't do it."  It can be considered a smooth favor.  The prince was overjoyed, but he also knew that it was impossible for Changsun Wuji to completely give up power.?But if he can give up half of his power, he will also have most of the power. The acting emperor's job will be a bit interesting.  He hurriedly bowed and said, "If my father-in-law can allow my uncle to give up half of his power, I regret, my son-in-law will burst into tears of gratitude!" "Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang said, twirling Hu Mu, "You just need to work hard and do well.  Just don't live up to my expectations." "My son-in-law will remember my father-in-law's teachings!" The prince looked completely arrogant.  His behavior made Zuo Shaoyang wary. If he could accomplish this, in the prince's mind, he would think that he could control Changsun Wuji, and would he try to get him to help him deal with Changsun Wuji in the future?  No different?  The accompaniment is like a tiger, even if this tiger is his own brother or son -in -law. When he is unintentional, he will eat people. The eldest grandson Wuji is forced to hang suicide by pro -nephew is the best example!  Don't look at the fact that he is being condescending to him now. He is seeking something from himself. He will no longer be like this when he does not take advantage of stealing value. When he is a threat to his imperial power or he thinks he is a threat, he will be mean to him.  Do it yourself, so it is safer to stay away from the imperial power.  There is really no intention of staying in this capital city, so it is better to go back to his hometown of Hezhou.  Now that Emperor Li Shimin has given up all power except military power, the issue of redistribution of imperial power will inevitably arise in the court. This is the most dangerous time, and as the emperor's senior brother, brother-in-law and in-laws, if he stays in the capital, he will inevitably  Getting caught in it is like swimming. Only by staying away from the whirlpool can you avoid being sucked in!  After thinking about this, Zuo Shaoyang made a decisive decision and said: "Prince, I will help you accomplish this. I also hope that the prince can allow me to retire to Hezhou and live in retirement!" The prince was stunned: "Why is this?"  "I'm really not used to the weather in the capital. I'm used to living in Hezhou. Although it's remote and far less prosperous than the capital, after all, I'm a native place, and I'm still nourished by where I live."  I am relying on my father-in-law for assistance in government affairs! " "To be serious, I know nothing about government affairs. I only know how to treat patients and take medicine. Staying in the capital will only cause trouble for you, haha, so it's better to go back to your hometown." "Then, Wan.  The emperor's father and mother are ill and need treatment from their father-in-law. It's very troublesome to go back and forth for more than ten days. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the capital and live in harmony with each other? " "Du?  Ming, this kid, has learned everything from me and is qualified. If he can't cure the disease, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. " The prince actually doesn't really want to do anything.  Zuo Shaoyang stayed because Zuo Shaoyang had a close relationship with his father. This was like a double sword. It was a good thing to help him speak, but if he didn't help, he would be in big trouble. Moreover, the emperor was against Zuo Shaoyang.  Shaoyang valued him very much and had planned to make him a marquis. If this was the case, wouldn't he have another prince in his imperial ship?  What the new emperor hopes most is to be in sole control.  Therefore, the prince did not force him to stay, and said: "Since my father-in-law insists so much that as long as the emperor does not stay", the son-in-law respectfully sent his father-in-law back to his hometown.  " "Well, that's settled.  Zuo Shaoyang left the Prince¡¯s East Palace and went to Changsun Wuji¡¯s mansion on pretense. Then he came back and told the Prince that Changsun Wuji had agreed to hand over half of his power.  The prince was naturally elated.  Sure enough, the next day Changsun Wuji went to the emperor, saying that he was old and frail and unable to assist the government, and requested that half of his power be handed over to the prince.  The emperor personally visited Changsun Wuji and felt that what he said was the truth, so he agreed to his suggestion and handed over the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel to the prince. However, Changsun Wuji still retained the Ministry of Personnel.  and the Ministry of War, two important departments.  Of course, military power is still controlled by Emperor Li Shimin himself.  Even so, the prince was so happy that he held a banquet in the East Palace to thank Zuo Shaoyang.  Because he wanted to talk about some confidential matters, the prince did not let anyone else accompany him, so the prince and his son-in-law drank and talked.  After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the prince was a little tipsy and said: "My father-in-law, after discussing with Zhi, my son-in-law felt that Ning, Jing, and Xi were all grown up and they should get married. My father-in-law had never thought about this."  "Is it something?" "Hey, I haven't thought about it, but there has never been anything suitable." "There are so many children of military officials in the whole dynasty, how can there be no suitable one?" The prince widened his eyes and patted his chest and said, "Zhang Yue."  , let¡¯s do it, tell me which family¡¯s son-in-law, my son-in-law will help you propose marriage.¡± Zuo Zhi also said: ¡°Yes, Dad, Shan and Xue are almost thirteen years old, and it¡¯s time to look for them.
