A group of hundreds of horsemen entered the Jinguang Gate, and then Li Shimin ordered Murong Luo Hu and Zhai Changsun to follow Fang Xuanling and others back to the Qin Palace, and there were only a few personal guards left by his side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Coupled with Zuo Wuwei Mansion and his entourage, about fifty or sixty people went all the way to the east, passing through several shops, the rather noisy West Market, three canal bridges, passing by Hanguang Gate, and soon set foot on the spacious Suzaku Street.

Looking at the tall and solemn Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Shimin smiled and said in his heart, this Vermilion Bird Gate has passed countless times, but only now does it feel that it has a majestic atmosphere in the wind and snow, but I don't know what the eldest brother will think about when he passes through this gate?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled and said to Jiang Baoyi: "The prince has also returned to Beijing, right?" ”

Jiang Baoyi's heart jumped a few times, the dispute between the King of Qin and the crown prince is no secret, it seems that the King of Qin has lost some wind before, Liu Wenjing was executed, and the palace of the King of Qin was also broken into by the King of Qi, and many henchmen were implicated, and many people said that the King of Qin may return to Beijing soon.

Of course, this statement of returning to Beijing is not the same as it is now.

If you look at it now, those nonsense words are nonsense.

King Qin's great achievements belong to the victory and return to the dynasty, and the emperor issued an edict to allow him to lead his own army back to Beijing, so there is nothing to talk about not falling behind.

He had only heard about this kind of prince's seizure of the throne back then, but now it happened in front of his eyes, and he couldn't avoid it if he wanted to.

Just like some time ago, the prince made Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, invite him to drink together, and the meaning of wooing is self-evident......

At that time, he said that his heart was warm for a long time, but after hearing the news of King Qin's great victory, he quickly cooled down again.

Later, after discussing it with the characters in the scene, he finally understood that whether he was loyal to the prince or biased towards the king of Qin, it was extremely dangerous, and it was far better to be loyal to the emperor to make people feel at ease.

At this time, Jiang Baoyi didn't dare to slack off, the king of Qin, who had not washed the dust and talked and laughed freely, made him quite impressed, well, in fact, it was just taken by Li Shimin's momentum.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday......"

There was no more word, Li Shimin's slender eyes glanced at Jiang Baoyi, and he laughed endlessly: "Who is welcoming His Royal Highness the Prince?" It can't be General Jiang too, right? ”

When the prince returned to Beijing, it was naturally the civil and military ministers who welcomed him to the suburbs.

Is it possible to say so? Definitely not, even if he is more arrogant, he will not think that he can be compared with those civil and military ministers alone.

After a long time, Jiang Baoyi simply shook his head and said: "The last general guards the palace, I don't know who welcomes His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Shimin smiled and even narrowed his eyes, he and Li Po are actually a little similar in this regard, he will never show it when he is really unhappy, and he is even more ruthless when he flirts with stupidity.

"I heard that the general drank with the king of Qi, and he was quite happy, and he also said that the general and His Royal Highness the crown prince were very close...... Haha, I'm going to invite the general to drink another day, but the general doesn't have to favor one over the other. ”

Well, Jiang Baoyi was indeed bluffed, so he could only thank him again and again, and he made up his mind in his heart to stay away from these princes.

Li Shimin also knows, as Fang Xuanling said, the gatekeeper chosen by his father is really not good, no wonder he lost so badly in Jindi, and the people who have more than enough success have been reused, how can they not be defeated?

In this way, even if the so-called people are co-opted, what use can they have?

Li Shimin quickly lost interest in Jiang Baoyi, and at this time, Guangyang Gate was already in sight, and after this, it was Taiji Palace.

The Yellow Gate was already here, and the two of them left the guards outside, dismounted and walked into the palace.

Bypass the magnificent Tai Chi main hall and come to the west hall, which is Li Yuan's accommodation.

As Li Shimin expected, there were very few people in the hall, only three people were waiting for him.

The anger in Li Shimin's heart can hardly be expressed in words at this time, after the great victory, he was ordered to return to Beijing, and the one who waited on the side of the road was just a waste, looking at the way it looked here, is it to try me, the king of Qin?

The crown prince is respectful, he doesn't go out to greet him, just waiting for me to come to see him, it makes sense, what is the reason why King Qi is sitting there so peacefully?

In the hall, Emperor Li Yuan sat in the middle, on the left was the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and on the right was the king of Qi Li Yuanji.

Li Shimin entered the palace, first to see his father, and then to the prince, next to Li Yuanji when he entered the palace has been standing solemnly, and after Li Shimin saluted, he gave his brother a salute.

Father and son and brothers all have a smile on their faces after a long absence, the son asked his father if he was healthy, the father told his son that he had worked hard and worked hard, and the brothers also said hello constantly.

The wine and food were put up like water, and when the palace people retreated, without waiting for Li Yuan to raise his glass, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, got up with a smile first, respectfully picked up the wine glass and said: "Erchen congratulates his father, the great victory in the northwest, the group of ugly bows, with this victory, in addition to the trouble of a confidant, the day when the father and emperor are the four seas is not far away." ”

The rich voice of the crown prince Li Jiancheng sounded immediately, "What the fourth brother said is extremely true, the Xue family will be destroyed, the world will look sideways, and the father and emperor will issue an edict to appease everyone, and they will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort......"

Can't wait? The merits of a hundred battles are lost to me just by relying on these few words? Li Shimin smiled, his heart was full of disdain, Li Jiancheng's voice did not fall, he took the opportunity to raise his glass and smiled: "My father is wise and martial, and everyone is of one heart and one mind, so that this feat, but unfortunately, I failed to capture Xue Ju's father and son to come to Beijing to dedicate to my father, and my sons also saluted my father's father, and asked my father to forgive me." ”

Li Yuanji was dumbfounded, Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin, and smiled without saying a word.

Li Yuan's smile is very similar to his sons, but there is a little more vicissitudes and warmth, and a little less stubbornness and fierceness, or how to say that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan are the most similar, because their smiles are indeed very close, and what is less is just the precipitation of the years.

Li Yuan slowly raised his glass, "The people of the world have worked hard and made great achievements, what is the crime, come, you have drunk this cup with me, what the people of the world said is good, the so-called one heart and one mind, can achieve great causes, as long as your brothers live in harmony, what can be difficult to live in me?" ”

A glass of wine tastes different.

Li Yuan drank it in his mouth, it was soft and long, it was indeed worthy of being a good wine in Shu, Li Jiancheng drank it in his mouth, and felt a little strong, just like the brother opposite, it was difficult to swallow it properly.

Li Yuanji, drank it in one gulp, and his stomach was like fire.

And this wine is drunk in Li Shimin's mouth, but it is difficult for people to swallow.

The two brothers wanted to cover up his exploits in front of their father, and the meaning was very clear, so that he should not be too proud.

What did my father say about it? One heart and one mind? Haha, don't you want him to pursue the previous things, right?

Liu Wenjing's death is so unjust, even if this person is lonely and unruly, sooner or later he will end up like this, there is no pity.

But the matter of King Qi's forcible invasion of the Qin Palace, can it be counted like this?

Then if I lead the troops into the Prince's Mansion, can I also let it go lightly?

Fang Xuanling and others were forced to flee, Du Ruhui was beaten with a stick at the door of the house, and now he is still in bed, that is the long history of his Qin Palace, how many of the old Qin kings in the Beijing division have been imprisoned, how many people have been transferred to other parties, and how many people have been assassinated?

I just returned to Beijing, and I haven't settled accounts with those rats, so you can just say that everything is settled?

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and swallowed a glass of bitter wine, and the hearty smile that made people break at first sight gradually faded on his young face.

At the same time, the father and brother in this temple were almost invisible in his eyes.

No matter how much this wine tastes in everyone's mouths, the four fathers and sons in the hall pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and they really drank a lot, and they didn't talk much about business.

In the midst of singing and dancing, the slightly drunk Li Shimin refused his father's request for him to stay in the palace and resigned from the court.

Although a banquet in the palace made him feel a chill that was a little colder than this winter, after all, he returned to Chang'an, and his exploits were not erased by anyone who wanted to.

After that, there must be all kinds of rewards, but how to get out of the accumulated evil breath and how to take the next step, he needs to calm down and think about it.

At this time, Li Shimin was very calm, and he didn't feel isolated at all, because the people of the Qin Wangfu were his most reliable guarantee, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were all sharp-minded, and the eldest grandson Wuji brother was of great use, and there was never a shortage of fierce generals around him who attacked the city.

And his foreign aid in Chang'an is not much less than that of the prince of the East Palace.

With all this, he is not afraid of anyone, not even his father......

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also resigned soon after.

During the prince's drive, Li Yuanji finally complained.

"Big brother, look at his appearance, it seems that no one is as good as him, but unfortunately, the good news came earlier, otherwise it would ......"

Li Jiancheng squinted his eyes and waved his hand, and scolded lightly, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

After a while, Li Jiancheng sighed softly, "The second brother's ability to lead the troops, I can't ...... it."

Li Yuanji's voice sounded, "Yang Yong was not as good as Yang Er back then? I can't see it, if Yang Yong is in power, how can I have the day when I will be in the Li family? ”

Li Jiancheng laughed, "Brother has indeed grown up, this statement is very reasonable, and the lessons of the past have to be guarded against...... It's a pity, with the talent of the second brother, if you can help me wholeheartedly, why worry about big things? ”

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and raised his voice: "Come on, send some warm things to Princess Qin tomorrow, first, to relieve the fatigue of King Qin, and second, to visit Du Changshi." ”

The attendant retreated, and after a while, Li Yuanji's dissatisfied muttering came from the chariot, "Hmph, the eldest brother is kind, but people don't necessarily dare to enter." ”
