Chapter Ninety-Six: Balanced Again

Pei Lin came back to his senses, "Oh! King Qin meant that King Qi would definitely not be able to win this battle, and if he wanted to fight, he would have to return Yang Zixuan, because Yang Zixuan could pinch and calculate. ”

Li Yuan glanced at him, "It's only half right." He wanted to go back to Yang Zixuan, as for being able to pinch it, it was just an excuse to give me a step and let me go down. How capable can Yang Zixuan be? The reason for winning so many wars is the shrewdness and courage of the people, the mastery of the art of war, and the ability to use it flexibly, as well as his leading soldiers. Can it be fortune telling? ”

Pei Lin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, didn't the King of Qin blackmail you to return Yang Zixuan on the grounds of sending troops to Luoyang?" ”

"Not really!" Li Yuan stood with his hands in his hands, his face expressionless, "It's not the first time I've been coerced by him, when Jinyang started the army, didn't he just join you Pei Lin to force me to start the army early?" ”

Pei Lian's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt down, "The minister deserves death!" ”

Li Yuan looked down at him, "Get up, what are you guilty of?" I'm just thinking, who is Lao Tzu between me and the people? ”

After returning to the palace, Li Yuan came to the Baifu Palace. Wan Guifei stepped forward to give a salute, "The concubine greets the emperor." ”

"Get up." Li Yuan stretched out his hand to help Wan Guifei up, "Is Zixuan here?" ”

"Here, the concubine will be called to her." Wan Guifei replied.

After a while, Zixuan came, saluted Li Yuan, and asked, "I don't know what the emperor commands?" ”

Li Yuan sighed, "Zixuan, I really ...... I'm embarrassed to say it. ”

Zixuan was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter, the emperor can just say it." ”

"Zixuan, Datang is going to attack Luoyang." Li Yuan said.

Zixuan said: "This is a good thing! If you don't take Luoyang, how can you dominate the world? ”

"yes." Li Yuan's tone was helpless, "But who do you want to take command of the expedition?" ”

Zixuan seemed to understand a little, "Is it His Royal Highness the King of Qin who refuses to go?" ”

Li Yuan said: "It's not, Shimin said that he has been unwell recently, and he always dreams that a thin woman leaves him at night, which makes him sleep hard every night and has a headache every day." ”

Zixuan's heart sank, he already understood what Shimin meant, why did he do this? At the beginning, in order not to offend Li Yuan, he did not snatch his sister back from Yuanji. Now that he wants to snatch himself back from his father's hands, isn't this going to offend Li Yuan to death?

"What does the emperor mean ......," Zixuan asked.

Li Yuan looked at Zixuan with a little guilt, "Zixuan, you are a smart child. I am the son of heaven of a country, and for the sake of the world, I can only lose my trust in you. ”

Zixuan thought to himself, you are really an old fox, what do you say thank you for my contribution to Datang and saved your life, so he allowed me to enter the palace. It's only been a few days, and I regret it! lowered his eyes and asked, "Does the emperor want Zixuan to return to King Qin?" ”

"Zixuan, in fact, my son, I know. Shimin is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is also very good-looking, haven't you always gotten along well with him? Why don't you like him? Li Yuan pretended to persuade.

Hum! At the beginning, I didn't return my sister to Shimin, saying that it was for the face of the heavenly family, and it would not hurt the face of the heavenly family to let a woman who entered the palace remarry the prince at this time? Zixuan understood that Li Yuan might not be willing to let her marry Shimin instead of Jiancheng, but at this time, he had to use Shimin to fight, so he had to favor him. Li Yuan can't even take care of his son, how can he take care of her, a little girl? He only has his country in his heart, and everything else is! Can you only marry here? Zixuan decided to fight for the last time, "Your Majesty, it's not a matter of liking it or not, I really can't marry here!" ”

Li Yuan said non-negotiably: "Zixuan, your father's caravan came one day, can't I go and apologize in person?" If you want to marry my son with his daughter, don't you wronged him, right? ”

The emperor has said this, what else can Zixuan say? People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads! The emperor was determined to let her out of the palace, didn't she travel? She sighed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"Don't worry, I will do the work that has been built. Zixuan, thank you for the world! Li Yuan's eyes sparkled.

Zixuan said with trepidation: "Your Majesty, don't dare to take this seriously!" Zixuan just went back to the Qin Palace! "Xindao: Don't scare me, your old man, isn't it just to sacrifice me for your country? Sacrifice it, sacrifice it, don't erect a monument to heroes, I can't afford it!

At night, Zixuan packed his clothes and prepared to go back to the Qin Palace, but he was always absent-minded. I thought: Li Shimin, this bastard! What was he thinking? I thought that entering the palace was a foolproof strategy, who could ask the emperor for someone? But Li Shimin is good, but he dares to touch the tiger's whiskers, his head is in the water, right? Originally, Li Yuan was going to be built in the future battle for succession, but if he offended Li Yuan now, would he die? What are you asking me to do when I go back to the Qin Palace? Didn't you say that I was going to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? If you go back, you will definitely have a big quarrel with him, it's okay to help him, it's absolutely not okay to marry him, you have to be affectionate and reasonable to Li Shimin, and strive to make him give up the idea of marrying me! After this battle, if you find a way to return to the palace, you must avoid him......

The next day was the first day of the seventh month of the third year of Wude.

Early in the morning, Li Yuan passed on Jiancheng to enter the palace, Jiancheng hurriedly came to the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan gave him an edict, "Chengcheng, my father decided to send the people of the world to Luoyang, you send this edict to him." ”

"Yes." Jiancheng took the edict and turned around to leave.

"Come back." Li Yuan shouted, "There is one more thing to send to him." ”

Jiancheng respectfully asked, "Father, what is it?" ”

"Yang Zixuan." Li Yuan said calmly.

"Father ......" Jiancheng wondered if he had heard it wrong, "You mean to send Zixuan to Shimin?" ”

Jiancheng's eyes were full of incomprehension, confusion and pain. Looking at his son's face that was pale in pain, Li Yuan stepped down from the dragon chair, hugged Jiancheng's shoulders, and sighed: "After completion, my father is also forced to do so, if I don't send Zixuan back, the people of the world will not send troops." Do you really let Motoyoshi go? That kid didn't lose the entire Tang Dynasty? ”

"But father, Zixuan is a person, she doesn't want to go back." Jiancheng's eyes were sad, "She wants to enter the palace, I won't say anything, that's her own will." However, she didn't want to marry Shimin, how could her father sacrifice Zixuan's lifelong happiness in order to let Shimin go on the expedition? ”

"Built!" Li Yuan raised his voice and reprimanded, "Is it easy for our Datang to establish? Is there no sacrifice? Zhiyun was killed! The ancestral grave was dug up! No matter how hard it is, won't you survive it? How important is the battle of Luoyang, you know in your heart, why can't you sacrifice a Yang Zixuan? ”

Jiancheng shook his head painfully, his heart was in a mess, "The son of the emperor understands what the father said, but Zixuan ...... She has merit to Datang...... If the people of the world refuse to go to war, let me go. Erchen will definitely be able to defeat Luoyang! I just ask my father not to sacrifice Zixuan......"

Li Yuan said sharply: "Are you talking like that?" How can the prince of a country fight lightly? ”

Jiancheng was speechless for a while, looking at Li Yuan sadly.

Li Yuan sighed, his tone softened, and he said earnestly: "Completed, my father knows that you like Zixuan." At the beginning, Yuanji robbed Ziyi, and I persuaded Shimin that he was the elder brother, and let him take care of the overall situation and let his younger brother, and I compensated him for the two women. Now, you and Shimin are robbing Zixuan, and your father also advises you, you are the elder brother, let Shimin for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and I will compensate you for the whole world! You are my eldest son, and all the qiē of my father and emperor will be yours in the future, and Luoyang, which is now sacrificed for Zixuan, will not be yours in the future? You are the crown prince and the emperor in the future, you can only have the Tang Dynasty in your heart, not the love of children. Do you understand? ”

built a pair of phoenix eyes with tears, "But the son is ......"

"No, but." Li Yuan put a finger to Jiancheng's lips, "This is your responsibility as the crown prince, and it is also what you must do in the future!" Li Yuan straightened his clothes for Jiancheng and patted him on the shoulder, "Chengcheng, don't let your father down!" ”

Jiancheng was a hundred unwilling to give Zixuan to the people, but his father's order could not be disobeyed. And his father is right, as the crown prince, he has the responsibility of taking on the entire Tang Dynasty on his shoulders, he has long been unable to help himself, he must be worthy of the Tang Dynasty, worthy of the ancestors of the Li family, and Zixuan, he is destined to not be able to protect her......

Jiancheng's heart was as heavy as lead, and he nodded numbly, "Erchen knows, Erchen sent Zixuan back to the Qin Palace." ”

"Shimin is not in the Qin Palace." Li Yuan said, "I have already sent someone to inform him, he is in the barracks and ready to go, you can send Zixuan directly to the barracks." ”

"Yes." The sound of the building trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Jiancheng came to the Baifu Palace, he didn't see her again after Zixuan entered the palace, and he didn't expect it to be such a situation when he met again. Jiancheng's face was full of despair, and his eyes with guilt lingered on Zixuan's bleak face for a long time, "Zixuan, my father ordered me to send you to the deceased people......"

Jiancheng's voice was almost inaudible, Zixuan glanced at him, you are really obedient, you will do whatever your father asks you to do, she didn't say a word to Jiancheng, and stepped out of the Baifu Hall with her feet.

"Zixuan!" Wan Guifei, who came to see her off, called her, Zixuan turned around, a bitter gourd face met Wan Guifei's eyes, Wan Guifei smiled gently, "Zixuan, didn't you say that I have a good eye, someone will support me for the elderly?" Then you should trust my vision, right? ”

Zixuan knew that Concubine Wan was persuading her, smiled gratefully, and turned to leave. Yes, Li Shimin will provide for Wan Guifei, she knows Li Shimin's attitude towards all the Tang Dynasty people later, but she doesn't know how he will treat herself, Shimin He should still be angry because she entered the palace......

Jiancheng followed up and said, "Zixuan, I'm sorry, I can't disobey my father's order." ”

"Yes, you're a good son!" Zixuan didn't give him a good look.

Jiancheng said ashamedly: "Zixuan, are you blaming me? ”R1152
