Chang'an City, the study room of the Liangyi Palace.

Although a large number of soldiers, horses, money and food were mobilized, except for a few core ministers, the rest of the people acted according to orders, and it was not clear what the imperial court was going to do.

Li Shimin did this with his own considerations.

First of all, once the imperial court publicly announced the rebellion of Changsun Shunde and others, it would inevitably cause great panic among the government and the opposition, and even on the border of the Tang Dynasty, it would cause those countries with bad intentions to be ready to move.

Secondly, the identity of the eldest grandson Shunde is special, he is not only one of Li Shimin's most relied on generals, but also the uncle of the eldest grandson empress. Once this matter is made public, the political impact is extremely bad.

Therefore, although Li Shimin mobilized a large army, he did not rush to attack Luoyang. Li You's plan gave him hope that the rebellion would be quickly put down. What he is doing now is to form military pressure in the direction of Luoyang to match Li You's actions.

As the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Li You can think of it, and Li Shimin can also think of it. From the moment he heard that the eldest grandson Shunde had signs of rebellion, Li Shimin screened those who might support the eldest grandson Shunde.

The relatives of the eldest grandson Shunde and the old ministry are the objects of his attention. Among them are Gao Mingjun, the governor of Xiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture, and Hu Hefeng, the governor of Xuzhou. However, there are a large number of these people, and there are dozens of them who hold military power or local power.

Li Shimin did not dare to act rashly, and the slightest carelessness would cause panic among these people, and it was very likely that they would all be forced to the side of the eldest grandson, Shunde. He was only able to deal with these people after he had actually participated in the rebellion of the eldest grandson Shunde.

At this time, he realized that Li You's position was extremely important, and only he could observe the actions of the eldest grandson Shunde in Luoyang and monitor which people were involved with the eldest grandson Shunde.

According to the predetermined plan, Li You and the others should be in action in the next few days. Li Shimin has experienced countless winds and waves in his life, and he doesn't know what's going on, and his mood in the past two days has been a little anxious.

It is no wonder that when such a major matter was encountered before, Li Shimin was personally in command, and everything was under his control. But this time is different, the key to solving the problem is to rely on Li You to complete. Li You's tactics were not within the scope that Li Shimin was familiar with, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.

At this time, Li Tai asked to see him.

Since Li Shimin learned about the close relationship between Li Tai and his eldest grandson Shunde, especially after he impeached Li You for corruption, Li Shimin suddenly had some opinions about Li Tai. What has Li You been doing all these years? What is Li Tai doing again? In contrast, the gap is unexpectedly so large.

In the past, as soon as Li Shimin saw Li Tai, his heart was full of joy. At this moment, when Li Shimin heard that Li Tai was coming, he felt a little bored in his heart.

He said, "I'm not available today, let him come back another day." ”

A moment later, Wang De came in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is unwilling to leave, and he has asked to see you again. ”

Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Let him come in." ”

Li Tai came in, and as soon as he saw Li Shimin, he said eagerly: "Father, my son-in-law heard that the eldest grandson Shunde has a heart of disobedience. Erchen has nothing to do with him. ”

Seeing Li Tai's performance, Li Shimin's mood was extremely annoyed, and he said with a gloomy face: "Did you come to tell me about this?" ”

Li Tai said with a handful of snot and tears: "Father, the son has a relationship with the eldest grandson Shunde, he is the second grandfather of the minister, and Luoyang has the property of the son. It is normal for the sons to have dealings with him. However, what he was going to do in Luo ** was far away, but Erchen didn't know. Therefore, it is impossible for the retainer to get involved in his ill intentions. ”

Li Shimin couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and he shouted: "Qingque, let's talk about your affairs later." You go down first. ”

Li Tai was taken aback, this was the first time that Li Shimin had spoken to him with such an attitude since he was a child. He was shocked and wanted to defend a few words, but when he saw the terrible look on Li Shimin's face, he finally said goodbye and left.

Out of the door of the study, he walked forward with a pale face. Even when he met Fang Xuanling and people saluted him, he didn't react, and left the Liangyi Hall with a dull gaze.

Luoyang City, East 14th Square.

Xue Rengui took a hand-drawn sketch and said excitedly: "Lord Wang, look, this is the topographical map of the Governor's Mansion, and the situation in it is all clear.

The authentic exit is one in the study room and one in the meeting hall of the eldest grandson Shunde. Thanks to Little Lady Fang, otherwise we would have rushed in, and the eldest grandson Shunde and the others would have fled a long time ago. ”

Li You nodded and said, "Hmm." What's next? ”

Xue Rengui said excitedly: "Lord Wang, it's much simpler now, we have caught the construction of the Governor's Mansion, he not only drew this sketch for us, but also promised to take our people to attack through the tunnel." ”

"Good, good. Now it's much more certain. Li You also said happily.

"Lord Wang, please give an order." Xue Rengui said.

Li You said: "At 6 o'clock tonight, attack on time." ”

"Yes, my lord, the minister will go and arrange it." Xue Rengui strode out excitedly.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li You was also ready to go, he was wearing the golden chain mail, and the white tiger came in, and he said excitedly: "Lord Wang, who do you see coming?" ”

"Brother You." With a familiar voice, Zhang Guigui and Yin Guanghao came in together.

"And us." Hou Cheng and others also came in.

"Precious, Guanghao, Hou Cheng, it's you." Li You said happily.

Yin Guanghao said excitedly: "Brother You, you don't take me with you when you go out." I'm going to do something big with you this time. ”

Li You smiled and punched him in the shoulder and said, "Fight the tiger brothers, our brothers will fight together." ”

Zhang Guigui grinned, and he said, "Brother You, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that I will grant you the right to make decisions on the spot." ”

Li You smiled: "Okay, now it's more convenient for us to act." ”

Hou Cheng said: "Lord Wang, that Xiangzhou Zhichong Mansion Governor Gao Mingjun has been taken down by the ministers. After speaking, he handed over the waist card of Gao Mingjun, the son-in-law of the eldest grandson Shunde.

Tian An, the leader of the special combat team, said: "Lord Wang, Hu Hefeng, the governor of Xuzhou, resisted arrest and has been beheaded by his ministers. He also handed over Hu Hefeng's waist card.

"Good, well done. At this time, the wings of the eldest grandson Shunde were cut off. The rest is much easier. Li You said happily.

At this time, Yin Guanghao said, "Brother You, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring you two letters. As he spoke, he took out two envelopes from his bosom.

Li You took the envelope, saw the fire paint sealed on it, and said, "Precious, Guanghao, Hou Cheng, Tian An, you follow Baihu to the next room to rest first." ”

After Zhang Guigui, Yin Guanghao, and Baihu left, Li You opened two letters. After reading the letter, his brow furrowed. He pondered for a moment, and after burning the two letters, he shouted, "White Tiger." ”

Hearing the shout, Baihu hurriedly came in, and Zhang Guigui, Yin Guanghao and others also followed.

The white tiger asked, "Lord Wang, what do you command?" ”

Li You said: "White Tiger, you immediately go and inform Xue Rengui that the raid has been canceled." ”
