Now Shimin goes to the Literature Museum every day to study classics, especially historiography, and he studies how to do it from the political struggles of his predecessors, and the "Eighteen Bachelors" naturally have to accompany him every day.

On this day, Du Ruhui rode a horse from his home to the Literature Museum, but was stopped by a group of people on the way.

Yin Arat's finger at Du Ruhan scolded: "What are you?" Dare not dismount in front of my house! Do you still have a concubine in your eyes, and is there an emperor? ”

Du Ruhui hugged his fists on the horse and said: "Your Excellency, Du did not pass in front of your house, your house is clearly on the other street." ”

"You're still quibbling!" Yin Arat's shouted, and then a group of subordinates from Yin's mansion suddenly rushed up, and couldn't help but pull Du Ruhui off the horse, beat him violently, and broke one of his fingers.

When Du Ruhui appeared in the Literature Museum with an injury, everyone was taken aback, and Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Ruhui, what's going on?" How did you end up like this? ”

Du Ruhui had to tell the truth, how could the people of the world have suffered such anger, raised his feet and walked out, "I will enter the palace to tell my father." ”

The "Eighteen Bachelors" stopped in front of them one after another, and Fang Xuanling said: "Second Highness, don't do it!" Please think twice, Your Highness. ”

Shimin said angrily: "Why not? Do you just let Concubine Yin Defei's family bully and behave recklessly? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Second Highness, you have offended Zhang Jieyu a few days ago, last time there was no Wan Guifei to stop Concubine Yin De, and now you are going to sue Concubine Yin De, you will offend the emperor's two favorite concubines, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?" ”

Du Ruhui also pulled Shimin's sleeve and said: "Yes, Second Highness, Brother Wuji is right, I am a little wronged and don't worry, I can't anger the emperor anymore." ”

Shimin remembered Zixuan's words, forcibly suppressed his anger, and had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and Concubine Yin De has already gone to the wicked to sue first.

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Yin De cried and hugged Li Yuan's legs, "Last time at the concubine's birthday banquet, the concubine completely offended His Royal Highness King Qin, but if he wants to retaliate, he will take revenge on the concubine, how can he bully the concubine's family?" Your Majesty, you want to be the master of your concubines......"

"Don't cry yet, tell me what's going on." With the last two incidents, Li Yuan was already dissatisfied with the people, and when he heard that it was the people again, he was already angry before he knew what it was.

Concubine Yin Defei cried: "In order to get angry last time, King Qin actually connived at his subordinate Du Ruhui to lead a large group of people to the concubine's house to insult the concubine's father, and the concubine's father couldn't please or forgive, and later beat the concubine's father. Your Majesty, the concubine's father is so old, how can he withstand their beatings, and he can't get out of bed now when he is injured! Your Majesty, King Qin has always felt that Zhang Jieyu and I were palace maids of the previous dynasty, and he thought that we were from a bad background, and now we have offended him again, how can this be good? The emperor is still alive and well, if the emperor lives long, where will we still live? Emperor...... You must call the shots for your concubines! ”

Concubine Yin Defei cried as she spoke, and she had already cried into a tearful person. Li Yuan grabbed Concubine Yin De, and a trace of fierceness flashed on his face, "This Shimin is too disagreeable, don't worry, I will take good care of him and kill his arrogance!" ”

The next day, as soon as Shimin entered the palace, Li Yuan asked with a slap on his face: "Shimin, you are really amazing now!" My concubine's family is still being bullied by you, not to mention the ordinary people, do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Shimin tried his best to explain: "Father, you have misunderstood, things are not like this......"

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan didn't listen to him at all, and Li Yuan scolded angrily: "If it's not like this, what? Wasn't Concubine Yin Defei's old father beaten by your subordinate Du Ruhui? ”

"Father, this is completely opposite to the truth, in fact, Du Ruhui was broken by the Yin family!" For such accusations, the people of the world are saddened and angry.

Li Yuan shouted: "You still dare to quibble! I ask you, do you look down on the backgrounds of Zhang and Yin's second concubines? Are you unhappy with them? ”

"Father, my sons don't have it!" Shimin looked aggrieved.

Li Yuan said: "No? Didn't you go against them several times? I tell you that the second concubine Zhang and Yin are my concubines no matter what you say, and if you have a prejudice against them, you have a prejudice against me, do you understand? ”

Seeing that it was useless to explain it, Shimin remembered what Zixuan said, since this period was the darkest time in his life, it was useless to try hard, so he could only push through as Zixuan said, so he bowed his head and said, "Erchen understands." ”

"It's good if you understand, if you go against Zhang and Second Concubine Yin again, I will not spare you!" Li Yuan said.

"Yes."

"Go down."

After Shimin left, Li Yuan was still indignant, and said to Pei Lian: "Shimin, this kid is not like before, he was either badly taught by those scholars, or he has been leading troops outside for too long. ”

Pei Lin said: "His Royal Highness King Qin is very capable, but unfortunately his personality is too arrogant, not as benevolent as the prince." It's just a lot of beating, and for young people, it's good to kill and kill. ”

"Well, that's what you said." Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

Just when Li Shimin was exhausted by Li Yuan's favorite concubine, his old rival Liu Heimin made a comeback. In July of the fifth year of Wude, Liu Heimin borrowed troops from the Turks, entered Koushan Shandong, and fought to Dingzhou. His old troops heard the good news on the way to escape, and hurriedly reconvened their troops and horses to respond to Liu Heimin, and for a time it formed a large scale, and it swept Hebei again in only a few months.

And after this period of time, Li Yuan completely decided that Li Shimin was proud of his achievements, and he would not send him to fight again. In desperation, only Pai Yuanji was in charge.

On October 4, the fifth year of Wude, Li Yuan ordered Yuanji to be the general who led the army and annexed the governor of the state to go to Shandong and Hebei to quell the rebellion against Liu Heimin. Li Yuan also knew that Yuan Ji was not that material, so he sent a subordinate who could fight to him, and this person was Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang. This Li Daoxuan was nineteen years old at the time, but he was experienced in a hundred battles, and the son of his cousin Li Yuan, that is, Shimin and Yuanji, their cousins. At the age of fifteen, he followed the people of the world to fight Song Jingang, at the age of sixteen, he followed the people of the world to fight Wang Shichong, and at the age of seventeen, he followed the people of the world and Liu Heimin and participated in the Battle of Bishui. Li Daoxuan took Shimin as an example, imitated Li Shimin wholeheartedly, fought very bravely on the battlefield, and his combat style was extremely similar to Shimin, so people called him "Little Li Shimin." Li Yuan thought: Li Shimin is not going, sending a "little Li Shimin" should be enough. R1152
