Chapter 216: Chang'an City, the Wind and Clouds are in Motion
After not seeing Qin Wangxin for many months, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wujian felt a little heavy.
A message has been spread in the city of Chang'an, the King of Qin was defeated in the attack on the royal court and was beheaded by the enemy chieftain.
For this reason, Li Shimin was furious in the court for two consecutive days, eager to chop up these nonsense people.
But the more there is no news, the more bottomless they are in their hearts.
In the early days of the dynasty today, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han who had not appeared for a long time, ran out and played in the court to ask for credit for the king of Qin.
It seems to be well-intentioned, but in fact it is not, because King Qin's life and death are unknown now, but he is in a hurry to ask King Qin for credit, and people do not return to the dynasty and are crowned with merit, and it seems that King Qin has been regarded as a dead man.
Li Shimin angrily reprimanded the king of Han and retreated to the dynasty.
Li Fangchen has been absent for a long time, and Li Yuan has a "new love" here, well, it may not be very serious to say this, but Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, doesn't know what to ask for to make the emperor happy.
For this reason, Li Yuan also specially asked Li Shimin to leave Li Yuanchang in Chang'an, and Li Yuanchang was extremely filial on the surface, and he had to go to Taijigong every day to talk about his family relationship with Li Yuan.
Li Shimin endured it for the sake of Li Yuan, but a vassal king can't do big things anyway.
But he didn't know that Li Yuanchang often went to Li Tai in private these days.
"Imperial nephew, in my opinion, you must fight for King Qin in this matter!"
Li Tai didn't have a good impression of Li Yuanchang, "Li Yuanchang, my second brother's matter has nothing to do with you, not to mention that my second brother has only lost his trace at the moment, and the news of the death of the second brother has not yet been transmitted!" ”
Li Yuanchang shook his head and chuckled, but there was a ruthless look in his eyes, "Imperial nephew, aren't I also thinking about His Royal Highness King Qin?" He is the pride of our Li clan! Besides, I didn't say that King Qin couldn't come back! ”
"Li Yuanchang!"
Seeing that Li Tai was faintly angry, Li Yuanchang also knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and he couldn't talk about this topic anymore.
Seeing that his words changed, he asked again: "Imperial nephew, haven't you considered why the crown prince is in this position now?" ”
"Someone!"
"Wait! I'll say the last two more words and leave right away. ”
looked at him and said with a sinister hatred: "In terms of talent and learning, the prince is not as good as the king of Qin, and in terms of the art of war, the king of Qin has defeated most of the Turks." And what about the crown prince? What did he do? Look at it, these days, has he ever cared about King Qin? ”
Li Tai was silent, and I have to say that what Li Yuanchang said is very reasonable.
"Obviously, King Qin should be the crown prince, I also heard that it seems that the prince didn't like King Qin very much at the beginning, and the two almost fell out!"
Li Tai nodded and said: "Indeed, the whole Chang'an knows that my second brother has no heart for superiority, but the prince is too suspicious!" ”
Seeing Li Tai fall into the trap, Li Yuanchang continued to agitate: "Have you ever thought that if King Qin returns safely, how will the prince treat him? ”
Li Tai couldn't help but clench his fists, "If he really dares to deal with my second brother, I will be finished with him!" ”
Li Yuanchang had a feeling that his treacherous plan had succeeded, and couldn't help but sneer: "Why wait until King Qin comes back? What's more, don't forget the imperial nephew, you are also the prince! ”
At the end of the point, Li Yuanchang said goodbye, leaving Li Tai frowning and thinking about some questions.
Back in the house, Li Yuanchang first came to a garden and was very respectful.
"Mr. Gou, your plan has taken effect, and Li Tai has fallen into the calculations of this king."
There was a person sitting in the garden, drunk in a green shirt, and when he saw Li Yuanchang coming, he couldn't help but smile and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, it seems that he is in a good mood." ”
Li Yuanchang was also not polite, sat with the other party, added a glass of wine to himself, and couldn't help laughing out loud after drinking it.
Waiting until he had laughed enough, he spoke again, "Dare to ask Mr. Gou, what should this king do next?" ”
The advisor named Mr. Gou turned his head, but there was a slender scar on his face, which was very scary.
"Your Highness needs strength!"
"Oh? What is the power? ”
"Mo Hedu!"
Li Yuanchang was slightly puzzled, "Isn't that the dog that let the Western Turks fight a few years ago?" What is the use of a mere three-grade county candidate with this king? ”
Mr. Gou's face remained unchanged and he explained to him: "What if Mo Helu can return to the Western Turks and regain the position of Khan? ”
Li Yuanchang's face changed, "If this is the case, this king's great event can be accomplished!" ”
Mr. Gou didn't say much, continued to drink, and waited for Li Yuanchang to speak again.
After a while, Li Yuanchang asked again: "How to win over Mo Helu?" ”
Mr. Gou shook his head slightly, "What Your Highness wants to do is to be inseparable from the other party!" ”
"Inseparable?"
Li Yuanchang had a slight headache, he was not good at such calculations, and he really didn't know how to be inseparable from Mo Hedu.
Is it possible to learn from King Qin, go to a Mo Hedu's daughter, and make yourself the other party's son-in-law?
Well?
Li Yuanchang sneered: "That Qin Wang's side concubine? ”
Mr. Gou nodded incredulously, "I have also heard that this woman's appearance is rare in the world, and she has not yet broken red, if His Royal Highness the King of Han can ......"
Li Yuanchang got up suddenly, "Thank you, sir, this king is going to plan, if the plan can be achieved, he will definitely give Mr. the title of Marquis Jinjue!" ”
After Li Yuanchang left, Mr. Gou couldn't help but snort coldly, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is far away!" ”
The turbid wine is self-drinking, quite a little free and easy.
Li Yuanchang ran to the palace.
"Father, the son has come to see you!"
Li Yuan was admiring the graceful figure of the dancer, and when he saw Li Yuanchang arrive, he couldn't help laughing, "Yuanchang, come quickly!" ”
After drinking a few cups with the Emperor Taishang, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but ask: "Erchen heard that there is a Turkic woman in Chengyu's mansion?" ”
Li Yuan's body paused slightly, waved his hand to make the dancer retreat, and turned his head to look at Li Yuanchang, "What do you want to ask?" ”
Li Yuanchang hurriedly knelt down, don't look at him as Li Yuan's favorite, but compared to Li Chengyu, the king of Qin, he is still far behind.
If anything goes wrong, Li Yuan will definitely be the first to remove him from the throne.
"Father, the son just thinks that this Turkic girl is not worthy of Chengyu!"
Li Yuan's face soothed slightly, and then he couldn't help but hum: "The marriage of the finalized marriage, the Turkic princess is the concubine of the Tang Dynasty and the Qin King, where is it not worthy!" ”
It sounds like he was speaking for Tana, but in fact his words were full of disdain.
Turkic princess? The Turks are all about to die, and it's almost the same to change the name to a dead girl.
Originally, this matter should have been Li Chengqian's, but it was pressed on Li Chengyu's head, and the old man felt sorry for his disciple, so he naturally felt that Tana was not worthy of his good disciple who had both ability and political integrity.
"Erchen has also heard that the Turkic girl is still a virgin?"
"Bastard!"
Li Yuanchang shuddered and didn't dare to say more.
After a long time, Li Yuan spoke: "Tell me, what do you want to do?" ”
"Erchen... The sons asked their father and the emperor to persuade the emperor's brother to remove the concubine of King Qin! ”
As soon as he said this, Li Yuan couldn't help but frown, what good is it to depose the princess and you, the king of Han?
"Father, the son just thinks that this woman is not educated, and if there is some chaos in the mansion, Chengyu's reputation will be lost!"
Li Yuan's cold gaze did not take off Li Yuanchang for a moment, making Li Yuanchang's back full of cold sweat.
I can't help but underestimate in my heart, "No matter how you say that I am your son, he is a grandson, why are you so defending?" ”
However, Li Yuanchang was very prescient, and he understood that the talent of King Qin was not something that he could compare with as a vassal king.
Now all the compromises and forbearance are for the sake of the future, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he must continue to hold back.
