Chapter 129: Operation East Palace
Shimin calmed down from the excitement just now, "In this way, Ziyi also knows history, and our opponent is not weak." ”
Zixuan said: "Sister only knows that you will be the emperor in the future, and she doesn't know the rest." She studied dance, didn't like history, and grew up in the United States with little knowledge of Chinese history. However, my sister is a smart person and has a good education in the 21st century, and she can come up with a lot of ways to deal with someone. Therefore, Shimin, I have to tell you about the future, because the arrival of our sister has caused history to be dislocated many times, and my sister is now deliberately trying to change history, this time Chang'an City passed you as the emperor, there is no record in the history books, my sister has successfully rewritten history, we have to be careful, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Shimin narrowed his eyes, "In other words, we must carefully maintain history, otherwise not only will I not be the emperor, but even the history of future generations will have to change." ”
"Of course, if the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not appear on the stage of history at all, then how could the history of the future remain unchanged." Zixuan said, "Shimin, it seems that this road to winning the heir will be more difficult than recorded in the history books, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Shimin thought for a moment, "Zixuan, if I succeed in winning the heir, it will inevitably hurt my eldest brother, how will future generations evaluate me...... Will you compare me to Yang Guang? ”
Zixuan smiled, "Shimin, let's make an analogy, I told you about joint-stock companies in the twenty-first century, remember?" If you compare Datang to a joint-stock company, then it should be said that your father and you each hold 50 shares, because when it comes to the establishment of Datang, later historians basically tend to be Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and it is not an exaggeration to evaluate your contributions. Then after a hundred years of your father's reign, his sons are eligible to inherit his inheritance, and according to the tradition of establishing a successor, he will pass on his inheritance to your eldest brother. So what is his legacy? 50 Datang shares, he can build this part, but why should he take your 50 shares to build it? ”
Shimin was amused by her, "What you said, in Datang, except for me who can understand it, I'm afraid there is no second person who can understand it." ”
Zixuan also smiled, "It's enough that you can understand." Therefore, don't have a psychological burden, people in later generations will evaluate a historical figure more based on how much this person has contributed to history, you will be a good emperor after you ascend the throne, and think about the country and the people everywhere, how can people compare you with Yang Guang? He took the throne for his own pleasure, and if you took the throne, the world was peaceful, and he and you were not on the same level at all. ”
"Zixuan, hearing you say this, I feel much more comfortable." Shimin stretched out his hand to comb Zixuan's hair and looked at her affectionately.
Zixuan slowly wrapped his arms around his waist, "Shimin, don't worry, no matter what my sister does, no matter how difficult this road is, I will always be by your side to accompany you and help you, I must see the radiant Emperor of the Ages ascend to the throne." ”
Shimin came to the Literature Museum, and the scholars were already waiting for him. Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said, "Second Highness, do you know the rumors in Chang'an City?" ”
Shimin nodded, "I heard." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji took out a stack of paper from his arms and said, "Second Highness, I have already sent someone to check, those auspicious rui and nursery rhymes are all from the command of the Qi Palace. ”
Shimin patted the eldest grandson Wuji's shoulder, "Brother Wuji has a heart, and he found out the root cause so quickly." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Actually, it's not difficult to check, these things came out overnight, the Qi Wangfu moved too fast, and it was inevitable that there would be some negligence in the hurry, and it would be found out by asking a few more children and the people." ”
Shimin took the pile of paper and said, "I'll go into the palace to give it to my father, so that I won't be passive if he asks." ”
"Second Highness, no." Du Ruhui hurriedly stopped the people.
The people were puzzled, "Why not?" ”
Du Ruhui said: "This kind of matter is reported to the emperor by the Second Highness in person or reported to the emperor by the officials of the Qin Palace, it is not as good as the minister of the court to report to the emperor, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Qin Palace, and it is a farce made by the Qi Palace, and the emperor is more likely to believe it." ”
"If what you say is very true, then send these materials to Xiao Yu, he and Chen Shuda have always supported this king." Shimin Road.
After a few days of thinking, Jiancheng finally made up his mind, and on this day, he called Yuanji to the East Palace.
"Yuanji, I have thought about it, now the forbidden army of the left and right twelve guards is under the control of the people, if he really has the intention to kill me and seize the throne, it is indeed easy, so I decided to establish my own guard belonging to the East Palace to protect the safety of the East Palace." Built Road.
When Yuan Ji heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly continued: "Big brother, what are you going to do?" ”
Jiancheng said: "Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, was originally the guard of my East Palace, so he could recruit some brave soldiers to be stationed in the East Palace. ”
Yuanji was overjoyed, patted his chest and said, "Good idea!" Big brother, when these brave recruits come, I'll help you train them. ”
"Okay, but you must be cautious about this matter, and don't let your father know." Jiancheng has never done anything illegal, and he is still a little worried.
Yuanji is a risk-taking person, "Don't worry, big brother." And I also have an idea, these brave people have just been recruited and have to be trained for a while before they can come in handy, it is better to transfer three hundred elite cavalry of Yan King Li Yi to enter the pro-guard team of the East Palace, they are all battle-hardened, and they can be used when they are transferred. Moreover, the eldest brother was friendly with Li Yi when he went to Liu Heimin last time, and he was not afraid that Li Yi would not agree. ”
Jiancheng said: "It's okay, you can do Li Yi's affairs yourself." And let Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan do it. ”
Yang Wengan was really neat, and soon recruited 2,000 warriors for the prince, and Yuan Ji personally commanded the drills, and ordered them to be stationed in the left and right Changlin Gate of the East Palace, called "Changlin Army". And Li Yi, the king of Yan, was also very face-saving, and soon sent three hundred elite horsemen into the East Palace.
How can these actions of the East Palace escape the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, if Fang Xuanling, as Li Shimin's chief housekeeper, has mainly worked to recruit talents for the Qin Palace, then the eldest grandson Wuji has established a complete spy system for the Qin Palace, and he can be the first to know about the turmoil in Chang'an City. What's more, Donggong's action this time is so big, can the eldest grandson Wuji not know?
In the Literature Museum, Wuji reported the actions of the East Palace to Shimin, and Shimin sighed and said: "As the commander of the forbidden army of the left and right twelve guards, I am responsible for the security of the palace, and my eldest brother obviously does not trust me." ”R1152
