"Father. Li Shimin almost prayed: "The world has been in chaos for a long time, hundreds of people have been displaced, and they desperately want the world to be stable."

The power of Qi is stronger than our Tang Dynasty, but Emperor Qi is willing to negotiate with us for the sake of the people, which has already given us a great advantage, why can't we also think about the people?

Father, please listen to the advice of your sons, immediately release Emperor Qi, apologize for this misunderstanding, and actively draw up a negotiation charter, so that there is room for maneuver. ”

Li Yuan thought for a while, silently walked up the steps and sat on the dragon chair, pondered for a while, and raised his head and said: "Negotiation? It's not impossible, as long as Zhang Zhongjian promises all the civil and military generals of the puppet Qi to go to Chang'an to accept my conferralities, and all county and county official positions will be reappointed by me, I can't let Zhang Zhongjian go." ”

"Father, this is a negotiation, not a surrender. Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan anxiously.

"And what are you going to talk about?"

"The two sides merged, and all civil ministers and military officers will be redivided into official positions based on merit and ability, and the merits of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the merits of the founding of the Great Qi will be equal, and the merit value will be considered seventy percent, and the ability will be considered thirty percent, and the comprehensive evaluation will be made.

The general framework is like this, the details are coordinated, and the place tries to maintain the status quo. ”

"Ridiculous. Li Yuan suddenly shouted, his face turned red, and he reprimanded angrily: "What does it mean that the meritorious service of the founding of the Great Qi is equal to the meritorious service of the founding of the Tang Dynasty to me?

My Li family is the hereditary prince of Taiyuan, and when he reached the world, the group of untouchables in Wagang didn't know where they were, and now they want to fight against us?

Moreover, the group of mud-legged generals of the pseudo-Qi, what Wagang Five Tigers, all have brute strength, and if they are brave, they may still be above my Tang heroes.

When the time comes, the veterans who followed us will still be under the group of mud legs. How can you be worthy of them? When the time comes, the military power will be in the hands of those clay-legged people, won't my Datang be in danger?

Shimin, are you trying to ruin my Tang Guozuo?"

"Father, since you know that Wagang's generals are more capable, why can't they take on a bigger official position?" Li Shimin said eagerly.

"Because they don't deserve it. ”

"Father's ......"

"Li Shimin, have you forgotten how your younger brother Yuanji died?" Li Yuan suddenly shouted. Li Shimin was stunned, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Yuan Ji died at the hands of Yang Dong's little mongrel, don't you know who Yang Dong is?"

That little mongrel is the righteous brother of Shen Luoyan, the prime minister of pseudo-Qi, and the figure behind pseudo-Qi, he is our enemy, and pseudo-Qi is our enemy. I want to crush them all.

Now you want this group of people to stand with us, you have disappointed me too much. From today onwards, you don't want to take charge of the army for the time being, and the Tiance Mansion will be taken over by your eldest brother. Retire. ”

"Father, it doesn't matter if the sons are not in charge of the Tiance Mansion, but they must not give up negotiations, the death of the third brother, the sons are also very sad, but a personal feud, how can it affect the fortunes of the country and the people's livelihood?"

"I'm angry, I'm angry. ”

Seeing that Li Shimin still did not let go. Li Yuan was completely furious and kept slapping the armrest of the dragon chair. shouted loudly to the guards at the door: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you come in and take King Qin away."

I ordered that from now on, the King of Qin will be claustrophobic in the Jiaolan Palace, and no one will be allowed to visit without my permission. All the soldiers and generals of Tiance Mansion are under the control of the prince, and they should deal with the matter of the pseudo-Qi ransom, and those who dare to disobey the order will be killed. ”

"Yes. ”

Two guards stepped forward. Set up Li Shimin and leave, Li Shimin shouted while struggling: "Father can't be, this will make Li Tang irreversible, and it will make the Han Dynasty irreversible." Eventually, he was dragged out of the temple by the guards.

"Evil obstacles. Li Yuan was the only one left in the hall, still puzzled, and slapped the armrest heavily.

……

The generals of Tiance Mansion heard that Li Shimin was claustrophobic, and the generals of the East Palace came to take over Tiance Mansion, Wei Chigong, Hou Junji and other generals, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other Wenchen were all shocked.

"King Qin is in solitary confinement, and the negotiations must have broken down, what now?" asked Hou Junji.

"What else can I do? Immediately rush into the Jiaolan Hall and rescue King Qin. Wei Chigong said angrily, with a copper hammer in his hand, he couldn't wait to smash it out.

"Don't, this is the emperor's will, if it is forcibly rescued, wouldn't it be tantamount to rebellion?" Chai Shao immediately spoke out against it.

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and said, "Then what else can I do?"

Du Ruhui, the first strategist of Tiance Mansion, pondered for a while and nodded: "I think General Wei Chi is right, now there is no second way except forcible rescue."

If we don't do anything now, the result will inevitably be that the King of Qin will lose all his power, and the Tiance Mansion will be returned to Li Jiancheng, and then we will really have to sit back and wait for death. ”

Everyone fell silent, this kind of decision is a life and death decision, no one has such a good choice, after a while, Fang Xuanling smashed his fist on the table: "I agree with Ke Ming (Du Ruhui's words)'s opinion." ”

"I said it earlier, that's it, I'll take my brothers to Jiaolan Hall immediately. ”

Wei Chigong was already impatient, and was about to go out with a copper hammer, but Du Ruhui hurriedly stopped him: "General Wei Chi, you can't go, you have to die." ”

"I'm not afraid of death. Wei Chigong said loudly.

"I'm afraid that if you die, King Qin won't be rescued, and Tiance Mansion will fall because of a crime of rebellion. ”

"Mr. Du, don't go around the bush, just say what to do. Hou Junji hurriedly said.

Du Ruhui said: "King Qin's claustrophobic Jiaolan Palace will inevitably be heavily guarded, and if there are fewer people, it will definitely not be saved, and if there are too many people, it will alarm the emperor and the prince, and he will inevitably lead a large army to protect the Jiaolan Palace, and we will not have a chance."

Now there is only one person in Chang'an who can rescue the King of Qin. ”

"Who?"

"The fourth prince, Li Yuanba. Du Ruhui spit out three words heavily.

……

Here, the civil and military forces of Tiance Mansion contacted Li Yuanba to plan to rescue Li Shimin, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng over there had already started to deal with the ransom matter, no matter how threatened, Zhang Zhongjian was unwilling to go to Tongguan City Tower in person, and asked Qi to donate money and land.

So Li Jiancheng thought of a good way to escort Shan Xiongxin and other Ganwa Gang soldiers to Tongguan, hoping to make the Qi army outside Tongguan lose their morale through humiliation and torture, force Shen Luoyan to agree to donate money and land, and at the same time force Zhang Zhongjian to go to the city tower in person.

……

Li Yuanba was born with divine power and amazing lethality, and he went to the Jiaolan Hall alone, and thousands of guards did not stop him, and snatched Li Shimin out.

"We acted without asking for instructions and asked the King of Qin for forgiveness. When Du Ruhui saw Li Shimin, his face was overjoyed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Li Shimin for his guilt.

"You can't be blamed for this. Li Shimin waved his hand: "It's just, how do I explain to my father?"

"Explain anything, we just rebelled. Wei Chigong said loudly, he had no loyalty to Li Yuan, and he only obeyed Li Shimin's orders. (To be continued.) )
