Li Yuan has entered Shu, and the mess in Jingzhou naturally falls on Li Jiancheng's head. He had to deal with a lot of follow-up matters, in addition to handing over the territory with the Great Sui and withdrawing the army on the Hanshui defense line, the key was to get rid of the family that could not leave, and seize their money and grain for the use of the imperial court.

Li Jiancheng also knew that these people would no longer work for Datang, they only cared about their own interests. However, less than three out of ten families entered Shu with his father, and the number of people involved was extremely large.

In the study room of the East Palace, there are only Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda, and the outside is guarded by Li Jiancheng's guards, and no one is allowed to approach.

He knew that his father had always arranged a lot of spies around him, and if he hadn't been cautious all these years, he would have been abolished long ago.

After Li Shimin's example, his father was more suspicious of him than before, so at this time, he was even more careless.

"Chen Xiangguo, I heard that many people in the Su Mansion have gone to the general discussion doctor Su Gui's house, what's going on?" Li Jiancheng asked.

"Your Royal Highness, it is Dr. Su Tongyi's father, Su Wei, who died of illness at home, and everyone goes to pay respects." Chen Shuda replied: "Su Wei was rejected by Yang Tong first, went to Xiangyang to seek officials, and was sneered at by the saint, Su Wei was full of remorse, and fell ill in a fit of anger, the key is that Su Wei is old, his body can't bear the torture of illness, and he died of illness today." ”

"Hey... This is the fate of the traitors. Li Jiancheng smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "If Su Wei was like Yu Shinan and Li Baiyao, he would not have ended up in such a bleak situation, and Yang Tong spared his life, which was already an extrajudicial grace." ”

Chen Shuda was noncommittal, and changed the topic and said: "Your Highness, the Holy Lord has entered Shu, shouldn't we also attack the family that will not leave?" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "There are a lot of implications, and there are too many people involved, I really can't bear it." ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it." Chen Shuda sighed and said: "Wuchuan Sike is staring at His Highness, if His Highness does not follow his orders, I am afraid that His Highness will not be able to protect himself." ”

"I know that if you don't kill, you can't do it, because even if he doesn't do it, Wu Chuanji, who stayed in Xiangyang, will make a move. Wuchuan Division is a sharp blade in the hands of his father, if his father didn't leave any secret orders, I don't believe it. There's even a secret order to oversee me. In the final analysis, my so-called left-behind, auxiliary, and new monarch is actually a puppet in the hands of my father. Li Jiancheng sighed: "Father has gone too far this time......

Chen Shuda was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't completely say that, the Holy Lord has already given them a choice, they are looking for death by themselves, no one is to blame." What's more, after the saint had paid for the families of the fallen soldiers, the money and food copied from the Guanlong nobles were spent a lot. At this critical moment, His Royal Highness the King of Jin handed over a lot of money and grain to bring to Danchang, so he forced the saint to decide to deal with the big families in the territory, although this is to drink to quench thirst, but if not, the Tang Dynasty will die of thirst. ”

"This is the crux of the problem, in fact, money and food are not a problem, and my father is too attached to power, my father doesn't even believe in his sons, can I not understand him?" Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly.

Chen Shuda nodded silently, "Maybe." However, it is also one of the tacit understandings reached with the Sui Dynasty, and it is said that this is the Sui and Tang dynasties jointly killing the family. It can even be said that the case of the rebellion of the Guanlong nobles was completely promoted by Yang Tong behind the scenes, but Yang Tong stood behind the scenes, let us be knives. This is the fundamental reason for the willingness to truce, without threatening the Tang Dynasty with war, so that we can concentrate on completely liquidating the Guanlong nobles and various families. ”

"That's true." As the person who directly reached the truce agreement, Li Jiancheng naturally knew it, but it was not written on paper, and Chen Shuda could not see it. However, this tacit understanding still can't be hidden from this wise man.

At this time, Chen Shuda lowered his voice and said, "I came here today, and I have another thing to tell Your Highness!" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Chen Xiangguo, please speak." ”

"Your Highness should pay more attention to His Royal Highness King Qi." 陈叔达 says:

"What's wrong with Yuanji?" Seeing that Chen Shuda's expression was extremely serious and his tone was bitter, Li Jiancheng was taken aback.

"Your Royal Highness, King Qi is not a person who is willing to be plain, I have long found out that he has the intention of seizing the heir, and it was not until the purge of the Guanlong nobles that his ambition was confirmed." Chen Shuda said solemnly: "Weichen is by no means sowing discord, please Your Highness must not be careless, you must be very careful." ”

"Did Sangkook find something? Or is there any clear evidence? Although Li Jiancheng doesn't believe that Li Yuanji has the ambition to win the heir, Chen Shuda is steady and cautious, not a person with no purpose, and he will not joke about such a big thing as taking the heir.

"Wechen was ordered by the saint to clean up the Guanlong nobles in Xiangyang City with Wuchuan Division, although Wechen did not go out of the city, but still sent a few officials to the major manors outside the city, they all said that when the King of Qi was there, he was extremely desolate and cruel, and the women with a little bit of grace could not escape the clutches of the King of Qi. After being replaced by Han Zhi, although he did not insult the poor woman, he also swallowed a large number of precious jewels, and then transported them to the mansion of King Qi overnight. However, the grain armor and the families of the various estates and the young and strong slaves did not commit any crimes, and all reported to the imperial court, and the accounts were also made clear. Chen Shuda said.

Li Jiancheng was puzzled, frowned, and said: "Doesn't this mean that he is greedy for pleasure and has no ambitions?" ”

"Weichen thought so at first, but after knowing one thing, his mind completely changed." Chen Shuda said solemnly: "King Qi racked his brains in order to expand Wuchuan Wei, first persuaded the Holy Lord to give him 15,000 soldiers from various families and clans, but he was afraid that General Dou Cong would give him some recruits who had not gone through battle, so he secretly reached an agreement with Dou Cong to exchange 15,000 elite soldiers at the cost of not moving part of the Dou family's Yizhou Grange. If the king of Qi received the treasure, he not only immediately appointed his henchmen to control this army, but also rewarded these elite soldiers with the money he had embezzled, and he cared so much about this army, but turned a blind eye to the food and armor, didn't His Highness think it was strange? ”

"Chen Xiangguo said he did it on purpose?" Li Jiancheng understood.

Chen Shuda nodded: "As the saying goes, what you can't get is always the best." And he ostensibly assumes a posture of not caring about the army, but it just shows that he cares about military power more than anyone else. His debaucherous and greedy behavior was completely pretended to be for the saint, so that the saint thought that he was a greedy and lustful person who could not become a great person. His behavior is 'not enough.'" ”

"Weichen Shun Teng touched the melon and found out what many of his people don't know, and found that the reason why the new army is so strong, the reason why even the Red Armor Army of the King of Jin can't be beaten, is not how good he is at training the army, but in an extremely murderous way in training, all those who are not qualified in training are hunted by him, and then pick people from the people to supplement, under the butcher's knife, everyone can't train without their lives, and over time, the recruits have become an army comparable to beasts, these soldiers have no sense of group, one or two are selfish, And Wu Chuanwei's various animalistic deeds were raised in cruel training. King Qi is a jackal disguised as a dog, cunning, vicious, and insidious, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal, His Royal Highness must keep an eye on him, and he must be careful so as not to be harmed by him. ”

"Thank you for the advice, I take it to heart." Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said, "Xiangguo asked me to attack the family family who stayed in Xiangyang as soon as possible, could it be because of Wu Chuanwei?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Shuda nodded and said: "King Jing and Chai Horse, who are good friends with His Highness, have 120,000 heavy soldiers, can the Holy Lord not worry about His Highness following the example of King Jin and standing on his own?" The Holy Lord now only believes in King Qi and Wu Chuanwei, and Wei Chen is worried that there will be any holy decree that is unfavorable to His Highness, so he advises His Highness to complete the Holy Mandate as soon as possible. ”

"I see." Li Jiancheng sighed.

"That's fine." At the end, Chen Shuda sighed again, "Lao Chen is the prince of Nan Chen, he has been a Sui minister and a Tang minister, he has experienced too many things in his life, he has seen through the hot and cold world, and he has already put life and death out of the way, so he dares to tell the truth." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled miserably, the Tang Dynasty has become like this, fathers, sons and brothers are still fighting for power and profit, calculating each other.

If the Tang Dynasty doesn't die, who will die??

The Tang Dynasty is not dead, so it is called no heavenly reason.

……

When Li Jiancheng recovered from the pain, he found that it was getting late, and Chen Shuda didn't know when he would leave.

After this conversation with Chen Shuda, Li Jiancheng finally made up his mind to uproot the family family staying in Xiangyang at any cost, even if it caused great turmoil. This is not only for Datang, but also for his family.

Just as he was thinking about it, a guard reported at the door, "Your Highness, Wuchuan Guard Chief Shi Hanzhi asks to see you." ”

"Invite him to the Lizheng Hall to serve tea."

"Whoa." The guards obeyed.

Li Jiancheng knew that he should come or come, even if he was no longer willing to make a big move. After calming down a little, he got up and walked to the main hall.
