According to Wei Zheng's original intention, he wanted to continue to test Li Yuanji's sincerity, but Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to step forward and hold his brother's hand, with a look of relief on his face.
Wei Zheng sighed secretly and silently withdrew from the room, King Qi's mind was not on the right path, and he often messed around in the back court, after all, it was a scourge, if he walked too close to this kind of person, what good results could he have?
Li Yuanji pretended not to know about this, and was talking with Li Jiancheng in the back room, "Big brother, I said that you are too honest, why don't you learn from the second child of the family, and catch everything?" β
"Fourth brother, what do you mean by this?"
"When my father asked the second child to open Tiance Mansion, it was originally full of military generals, but Li Shimin was unwilling, so he had to build a Hongwen Pavilion, and all the military generals were sent together. But what about your East Palace, count it around, that is, Wei Zheng alone is still a bit of a brain, and the rest of the ministers don't dare to move around openly. β
Li Yuanji also said a good word from Wei Zheng, outsiders can't compare to his own brother, and the weighing balance in Li Jiancheng's heart began to move closer to Li Yuanji: "Then, according to the fourth brother's suggestion, what should be good?" β
"Big brother, you happen to be the opposite of Li Shimin now, often in the palace, and you are quite close to Wenchen, but you don't have enough military power. The second child made an ace army, what is it called the Xuanjia Army, and the East Palace must also have its own elite guards, not only to support the faΓ§ade, but also to defend in case of any accidents in the future. Li Yuanji said.
Li Jiancheng's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "The East Palace is not as good as the Qin Palace, just under the nose of my father, the movement is too big." I'm afraid that I will be criticized. β
"Hehe, my father has a lot of opportunities, where can I take care of these things. And the big brother doesn't have to make a big deal about it. Just do it quietly and try not to be noticed. In addition, you have to cultivate your own military strength outside the palace, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and only wait for the time when you use them. β
"W-is this going to work? If it is detected by the emperor, this is a great crime of rebellion! Li Jiancheng's face turned pale.
"Hey, hey. When the day when the father is angry, that is, when he has no trust in us, he will fight if he can. If you can't fight, you can bite back and push it on the second child! β
"How can I wait for Zhang Luo's matter to be pushed to the people of the world?" Li Jiancheng's brain felt a little insufficient.
Li Yuanji came over with his ears and chattered. Li Jiancheng, who said bluntly, smiled. Praise himself for his younger brother who has really been trained, not only has he made meritorious contributions on the battlefield one after another, but also can make suggestions, Wen Tao Wu Strategy, all-round talent!
Li Yuanji smiled and said that it was nothing, it was all for the sake of the eldest brother, it was not too early, Li Yuanji said that he was still thinking about the concubine who came into the door. The hippie smiled and hurried away.
Li Jiancheng laughed, the fourth brother looked like this. The more he felt reassured.
Wei Zheng's suspicion cannot be said to be completely justified, although Li Yuanji has not revealed his behavior of being a prince or an emperor from beginning to end, no one knows what he thinks in his heart.
It was precisely because of Wei Zheng's words behind his back that Li Yuanji was disgusted with him to the point of being so disgusted that he was squeezed out of the palace, and he was once transferred out of the palace to do business, so that he could not often approach the prince. Over time, Li Jiancheng believed in his younger brother even more, and became estranged from Wei Zheng.
Besides, Li Shimin and Yuan Ziyan returned to the Qin Palace, they were in a sullen mood, he was not good at drinking, and he was already a little drunk at this time, Yuan Ziyan personally poured him a glass of warm water, but it was not the cup that Li Shimin used on weekdays, but Yuan Ziyan had nothing to do and made a personalized cup by himself.
"Ziyan, how do you use this cup to hold water?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.
"The utensils are not important, the key is the water, and when it comes to any vessel, it will change shape with it." Yuan Ziyan smiled.
Li Shimin was so smart that he knew that Yuan Ziyan was persuading him, sighed and took a sip of it, felt a little sober, and said faintly: "I grew up in the army since I was a child, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to change into this flexible character in this life, and I can only become a target who stands still, but I can't become this clear water that changes with the situation." β
"Hehe, there is an element of anger when you say this. Shimin, don't give up on yourself, is it okay to be so negative? Maybe this is just the beginning, and there will be huge waves to come, so you have to be mentally prepared. Yuan Ziyan persuaded him.
"I don't believe it, can Jiancheng Yuanji still kill me?" Li Shimin was a little excited, and the eldest grandson Wujian, who rushed to hear the sound, hurriedly sent someone to change him, and then let Li Shimin sleep.
Yuan Ziyan didn't want to stay and walked out. Indeed, as she said, the palace battle in the Tang Dynasty has quietly kicked off, and Zhang Jieyu at the banquet was instructed by Li Yuanji to deliberately ask for that piece of land, in order to make Li Yuan and Li Shimin conflict.
As for the so-called Ruishi, as long as you have a little brain, you can see that it contains gold and silver ore, please smelt it according to the situation, and it is completely possible to make the style of the font, and it can be modified.
Why did Li Yuan fall for such a trick? One is that Li Yuanji is his son, and he is not very defensive about his own flesh and blood, and on the other hand, this innocuous praise implication is exactly what a generation of monarchs want to use, which can make his ascension to the throne justifiable, providence!
In the next few days, Li Shimin was always sullen, there was no war, the court was still the prince's world, and he was suspicious everywhere, and his family was estranged, which was very bad.
When the brothers saw this, they were naturally angry, and they comforted him one after another, pulling him to practice martial arts and train the newly expanded Xuanjia Army. Only here can Li Shimin find a little self-confidence.
In order to consolidate his position, Li Shimin sometimes held banquets at his home to entertain the former founding heroes. Speaking from the heart, Li Shimin's approach is inappropriate, there is a suspicion of forming a gang, it is still an old problem, the system is not perfect enough, Li Yuan is still a patriarch, and he has not completely entered the position of emperor.
Li Jiancheng heard about these things, of course, he was worried that when Jinyang raised troops, these founding heroes responded to all calls, risking their lives to fully support Li Yuan.
Li Jiancheng reported the matter to Li Yuan in a roundabout way, but Li Yuan didn't think so, everyone was familiar with it before, and he couldn't be alienated from the previous heroes just because he became an emperor or a king of Qin. Li Yuan is busy with state affairs every day, and the back court has to be occupied by rain and dew, so he has indeed neglected the courtiers recently, and the people of the world will entertain them, why not?
Li Jiancheng retreated sullenly, secretly found Li Yuanji, and asked him to closely observe every move of the Qin Palace, if there is a problem, it is the best, there is no problem, and he has to make it up, anyway, Li Shimin can't be allowed to join these people.
Eating and drinking every day, everyone is very casual, and it is inevitable that they will lose their words after drinking, Liu Wenjing is unlucky. Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing were the first to support Li Yuan, and they originally had a very good relationship, but later Pei Lin was first abandoned by Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang and fled, and then did not play a good role in the battle against Wang Shichong, and Liu Wenjing's dislike for Pei Lin increased day by day.
Especially when he drank high on the wine table, Li Shimin, who was too drunk, was very drunk, and inadvertently revealed that he had gone to spy on the military situation, and Pei Lin happened to go out in the early morning of the same day, and then Li Shimin's whereabouts were exposed.
This matter has been pressed in Li Shimin's heart for a long time, he didn't vomit or be unhappy, drank too much and had a big tongue, and not many people heard it, but Liu Wenjing, who was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time, sat next to Li Shimin and was very annoyed.
"Pei Lin villain, pigs and dogs are not as good, one day I will cut off this person's head with my own hands!" Liu Wenjing slammed the wine glass on the ground, and everyone laughed, but no one took it seriously.
It's just that such a big movement was still detected by the eyeliner of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and he quickly reported the news. Li Yuanji was happy, and then went to the Donggong Mansion overnight and told Li Jiancheng about the incident.
Li Jiancheng also paced in the house excitedly, the old two hundred secrets were sparse, and the cleverness was mistaken by the cleverness, and finally showed his feet.
"Big brother, let's go to King Qin's Mansion and arrest that Liu Wenjing!" Li Yuanji suggested.
"No, he is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he can't do it easily without the permission of his father. At this time, it is late at night, and my father is afraid that he will have already fallen asleep, so you will take someone to guard the road that Liu Wenjing must pass, and when he comes out of the Qin Palace, you will control it and wait for your father to fall tomorrow. β
"Yes!"
A conspiracy is brewing, although Liu Wenjing is wronged, but in fact, he also uses his life to sound the alarm for future generations.
Besides, the next day, as soon as Li Yuan woke up, someone reported the matter to him, Li Yuan was of course annoyed, and immediately ordered Liu Wenjing to be brought into the court, and he wanted to interrogate him personally.
Due to his anger, Li Yuan's early court time was a little later than usual, and when all the ministers were speculating, Li Yuan came in with a blushing face, and then said, "Bring Liu Wenjing up." β
It's not good, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin, Li Shimin was also silent, cold sweat broke out, Liu Wenjing drank half a night of wine in the Qin Wangfu yesterday, something went wrong this morning, it must be related to him.
Soon, Liu Wenjing was brought up, the dignified prime minister, how majestic he used to be, who didn't nod to himself when he came in, very polite? Today, I was tied up with five flowers, and I was inevitably annoyed and ashamed, and I kept shouting in my mouth.
"Bold Liu Wenjing, above the court, how can you be allowed to make a public noise!" Li Jiancheng scolded.
"The old minister is not convinced, how can he shut up!" Liu Wenjing said with a straight neck.
"Built and retreated." Li Yuan waved his hand, motioned for Li Jiancheng to stand aside, and asked in person: "Liu Wenjing, I received a secret report from you, saying that you are spitting wild words and want to kill the great Sikong Pei Lian, is there such a thing?" β
Liu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, he drank too much yesterday, and he really didn't remember what he said, but he couldn't look down on Pei Lin for a day or two, and the possibility of saying this sentence was very high: "Your Majesty, the old minister drank too much wine yesterday, and he really doesn't remember!" β
"Hmph, come, bring the servants of the Qin Wangfu up!" Li Yuan snorted coldly, and then ordered. (To be continued......)
