Chapter 147: Sudden Danger
"You? Why are you helping me? How can you help? Tuli asked.
Shimin said, "Because Zixuan wants to help you." As long as the Khan is willing to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, this king is willing to become the Khan's foreign aid to help you deal with the Jieli Khan. ”
The conditions offered by the people of the ...... were very tempting, but whether this was considered a betrayal of the Turks, and the Turks were still hesitant.
At this time, Zixuan said to Tu Li: "Tu Li, they all said that I can pinch and calculate, do you believe me?" ”
Facing Zixuan, Tuli is a hundred letters, and he nodded vigorously.
Zixuan said: "Tuli, I can sue you now, Jieli Khan will not end well, he will be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in the future, so it is better for you to draw a line with him quickly." Not only the Turks, but also the countries of the Western Regions will submit to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the Tang Dynasty will also treat the leaders of various countries well. If, Jieli is dead, the Turks are up to you. ”
"Really?!" Zixuan's words shocked Tuli.
Zixuan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Really." Cooperate with the people, and it will be in your best interest. And I just hope you can have your own piece of the world. ”
Tu Li's eyes stared at Zixuan for a long time, and said solemnly: "Zixuan, I believe you." He turned to Shimin and said, "Okay, let's cooperate!" ”
In this way, the militia bloodlessly forced back the Turkic army and succeeded in forming a political ally. Later, the Tuli Khan secretly contacted the Tang Dynasty and broke with the Jieli Khan. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, and in May of that year, Tang Taizong appointed Tuli as the governor of Shunzhou.
The people of the world returned to the dynasty in triumph, and the flames of jealousy and anger in the eyes of Ken and Motoyoshi burned more than ever.
And Li Yuan's mood is complicated. The ferocious Turks were driven away, and Chang'an turned the danger into a disaster, and he was naturally happy; On the other hand, what he doesn't want to see is that the halo on the head of the people is even brighter, and he has become a unique military trump card in Datang. Li Yuan didn't want Shimin to make too many military exploits, so as to threaten the position of the crown prince, but for this son who had made great contributions in the unification process of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that he should be given the reward he deserved, but what could he reward him? Official position, money, power...... He has been rewarded with all the rewards, and if he is rewarded again, he can only be rewarded with the throne! This is not something to give him. Li Yuan could only try to balance the relationship between his sons. Try to keep a bowl of water as flat as possible. But. In the escalating political struggle of his sons, the bowl of water in Li Yuan's hand was shaking violently......
For the sake of insurance, Shimin no longer went to the Literature Museum to discuss with everyone, but moved to the Qin Palace. This makes it easier to keep secrets. So so. Shimin led his civil and military cronies to discuss matters in the Zichen Palace. Zixuan didn't participate, and would only invite her to come when she was particularly needed to get an idea. And in the Zichen Palace, only Qiu Shi was waiting. It's safe to keep no one present.
The agenda of this day is how to leave a way out, after all, fighting with the crown prince and the king of Qi in Chang'an, the Qin Wangfu does not have an advantage.
The eldest grandson Wuji said first: "Second Highness, according to the observation of his subordinates, the King of Qi seems to have scattered some people in Chang'an like us. ”
Shimin said: "They have also learned to be obedient, and in the name of the prince is too ostentatious, Yuanji will be much easier." ”
"The problem is that in this way, we have eight hundred warriors in Chang'an City, and they can have them, and they may surpass us in number." Mowgli said worriedly.
Fang Xuanling sighed: "Yes, with the character of King Qi, if you don't do it, you won't make a fuss." ”
"Then we can only focus on the fine, and we must train our warriors to be better than them." Shimin said.
Qin Qiong hurriedly reported: "Second Highness, I have been working on this matter with Biting Jin, please don't worry about it, Second Highness." ”
Shimin nodded. Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Second Highness, it's not a way to go on for a long time." In Chang'an, the crown prince and the king of Qi have the support of the emperor, and Pei Lian's help, coupled with the frequent slander of Zhang and Yin, we are in a disadvantageous position after all. It's better for us to leave a way back, and once the struggle in Chang'an is lost, there will be a place to go. ”
Shimin thought for a while and said, "If this is reasonable, I think I will choose Luoyang." Luoyang is the eastern capital of the old Sui Dynasty, it is a place of victory, if Chang'an loses, we will retreat to Luoyang, but also come to a court to resist. ”
When everyone heard this, they all thought it was a good idea and agreed with it.
Fang Xuanling said: "Second Highness, since everyone agrees with this method, let's implement it quickly, and it is not an overnight thing to run Luoyang into our place." ”
Shimin said: "Well, then so be it. This king sent Wen Daya, the secretary of the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai Ministry of Industry, to guard Luoyang, who was the king's childhood friend and was very reliable. ”
Wuji said: "Second Highness, it's not enough to send only one Wen Daya, he guards Luoyang, and is an official of the court, and many things are inconvenient to do." The subordinates have an idea, it is better to send another person to Luoyang to carry out secret activities, give him more money, and let him secretly make friends with the heroes and heroes of Shandong (author's note: in ancient times, the east of the mountain was called Shandong), so that we can consolidate our power in Luoyang. ”
"You're right, is there a suitable candidate for Brother Mowgli?" Shimin asked.
Wuji said: "Yes, Zhang Liang, the general of the Qin Palace, Zhang Liang is a native of Zhengzhou, familiar with Shandong, and has many contacts with Shandong heroes, and this person is bold and careful, and he will be able to complete the task." ”
"Okay, just send Zhang Liang." The people of the world decided.
At this time, it was noon, and it was almost time for lunch, Zixuan came to Zichen Hall to see if they had finished talking, and whether they wanted to invite Shimin and all the cronies and officials to eat. But just as he saw Yin Ruyi looking out of the window, Zixuan stepped forward and said, "Concubine Yin, what are you doing here?" ”
Yin Ruyi was startled and took a step back, "Yes...... It's Concubine Yang, I saw that it was scorching heat for days, and I was afraid that His Royal Highness and the adults would be hot, so I cooked some plum soup to relieve them. I don't know if they finished talking, so they didn't dare to go in. ”
Zixuan said with a smile: "You have a heart, it's just that His Royal Highness and everyone are talking about some important matters in the court, and we can't bother us more, if you cook plum soup and give it to Qiu Shi, she will send it in." ”
"Okay, I'll go and deliver the plum soup to Qiu Shi." Yin Ruyi said.
Zixuan only thought that Yin Ruyi was kind, and he didn't take it to heart.
However, within two days, something happened - Yuanji, the king of Qi, reported to the emperor that Zhang Liang had plotted to rebel. Li Yuan immediately ordered Zhang Liang to be arrested and asked Pei Lin and Xiao Yu to interrogate Zhang Liang.
Qin Wangfu suddenly panicked, Yuan Ji's mind everyone understood, he just wanted to use Zhang Liang to attack the people, if Zhang Liang's mouth was pried open, the people would be in big trouble, and the nature of this matter was like sending weapons to Yang Wengan. (To be continued......)
