Chapter 20: The Accident in Beijing
I don't know if Li Shimin is like a god, or if the facts are impermanent.
As soon as the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin approached the city, Yang Wengan, who was originally in a good mood, was beheaded by his deputy general and served in front of the battle in order to survive.
After the emperor of King Qin, he never had to deal with some small people, and killed the cronies of the two princes, and the matter was stopped, and he did not make a big fight, nor did he waste the people and money.
All of a sudden, Li Shimin's status in the hearts of the people has been unusual, some people don't know the crown prince Li Jiancheng, but few people don't know the king of Qin, Li Shimin.
"What's next for Your Highness?" Dining at the same table with King Qin is definitely the highest standard reward that Li Shimin has given to Chen Feng today.
"The class teacher returns to the court." After speaking, Li Shimin glanced at Chen Feng strangely, "Mr. Fei has other opinions?" ”
"No, but there is one thing I hope Your Highness will know."
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that." Since following Chen Feng's suggestion and getting his father's promise to change the prince with a slight refusal in front of his father, Li Shimin has already had eight points of trust in him.
"At this time, we have to start with the promise made by His Majesty to His Highness." Seeing Li Shimin listening attentively, Chen Feng's face was also a little solemn, this matter, when he learned that Li Yuan was going to change the crown prince, he already had a calculation, he didn't say it before, but because of the current enemy, Li Shimin couldn't be distracted by other things.
Now that the war is over, Chen Feng also looked for an opportunity to talk to Li Shimin in detail, "A certain thief thinks that this matter is not credible." ”
"The father is the son of heaven, and Chrysostom will definitely not be untrustworthy.
Hearing that what Chen Feng said was so, Li Shimin's face was not very good.
Although he said that the man was untrustworthy, the first brilliance in his eyes was gone. He said that he didn't believe it, but in fact, he began to doubt it in his heart. The reason why he didn't want to believe it was because what Chen Feng said was not what he wanted to hear.
"Your Highness really thinks that Your Majesty is full of promises?" Chen Feng didn't debunk it, but asked again, he had been mixed up under Li Shimin for a while, Chen Feng asked himself how much he could figure out a little bit of this person's mind, sometimes indecisive, sometimes very spicy, but for his own people, he would never put on a show.
It is precisely because of this that he dares to speak the truth.
"Sir has long expected this?" The silence lasted for about a cup of tea before Li Shimin opened his mouth to break the suffocating atmosphere.
"It's just speculation, there is no news in Beijing yet, and I don't dare to conclude yet." Chen Feng sighed, then stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of King Qin, "Please don't blame Your Highness, just because our army is coming to the city, I don't dare to disturb the morale of the army because of this, so I will hide it." ”
Seeing this, Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes, and only opened his eyes after a while, hid the tangled emotions in them, stood up and helped Chen Feng up, and introduced him into the seat, "Mr. is not wrong!" ”
Chen Feng was indeed right, but he didn't expect it. I was blinded by a vain remark. At this time, it is too late to think about resentment, it is better to leave your mind to think about the future.
"What do you think of the situation in Beijing, sir?"
"If you guess Your Majesty's thoughts, then once the news of our army's victory reaches the capital, I am afraid that Your Majesty will let the crown prince Ju Chao participate in political affairs." This is not Chen Feng's speculation, it is indeed such a deduction in history, but it is recorded in the history books that when the Yang Wengan incident occurred, Li Yuan traveled in the Renzhi Palace, so he ordered the prince to live in the court.
Now the situation has changed slightly, but it should not be far away, once the news of King Qin's victory is returned, Li Yuan will never degrade the prince to Shu as promised, but I am afraid that it will be more reused.
Before the dinner was over, the news in Beijing had already been sorted out by Du Ruhui and passed to King Qin.
After a few words, Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and after reading it carefully, he handed the crumpled precious cold gold letter to Chen Feng.
The truth is just as Chen Feng expected.
When the news of the King of Qin's surrendered soldiers without a fight was transmitted back to Kyoto, it was the early dynasty, Du Ruxuan's letter was to the effect, His Majesty praised the King of Qin's bravery, and the prince took the opportunity to play, hoping to share his Majesty's worries like the King of Qin, and the emperor was very relieved, so he ordered the prince to go to the study every day after retreating from the court, and read the recital with several officials of Zhongshu Province.
In addition, the crown prince Zhongyun Wang Qi, Zuo Wei and Du Yan, who were then soldiers of Tiance Mansion, who caused discord between the prince and the Qin king's brothers, were exiled to Yuewang County.
Among them, Du Yan is nominally Du Ruhui's uncle, but the relationship between this uncle and Du Ruhui is not good, it was this uncle who killed Du Ruhui's brother, and designed to frame his brother and almost put him dead, and later Du Yan fell into the hands of Li Shimin, Li Shimin wanted to kill him, but Du Ruhui begged bitterly, so he got Du Yan's chance to live.
If it is an ordinary matter, it will be discussed and decided by several officials, and if several officials feel that they cannot make a decision, they will submit it to the emperor and the emperor will personally approve it.
Several officials in Zhongshu Province do not participate in the government politics, and the personal relations of the ministers in the court are also extensive, but from the princes and grandsons to the nobles of the seven ranks, no one dares to blame these people, completely because these people hold their lifeblood in their hands.
Not to mention the rejection of the fold, even if it is postponed for two days, it may be a matter of life and death. It must be known that there are many injustices in the world every day, there will be as many folds as there are, and the daily folds are piled up one stack after another, and the exhaustive consideration may not be completed, even if it is postponed for two days, the saint will not blame it today.
And Li Yuan ordered the crown prince Li Jiancheng to enter the upper study and review the folds with several officials from Zhongshu Province, which means that the prince has entered the center of the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers who were still waiting and watching before are only afraid that they will be directly pushed into the prince's camp by the Tang King's move, and the position of the prince and prince will only become more and more stable.
"It's the king who is in a hurry." After Chen Feng put Du Ruhui's letter on the candle flame and burned it out, Li Shimin said leisurely.
Chen Feng did not say a word about this, Li Shimin was really in a hurry, Tang King Li Yuan lured him as the crown prince, and he stepped into the trap with one foot, but he didn't know that this move just exposed his ambition.
However, such a rush is also the most indispensable element of Chen Feng's own purpose.
The more Tang Wang defended Li Jiancheng, the more the dissatisfaction in Li Shimin's heart would aggravate, and when it came to the outbreak, he was afraid that no one would be invincible.
As a qualified subordinate, Chen Feng had to be comforted and encouraged when Li Shimin was frustrated, so he turned his eyes to look at the depressed Li Shimin, "His Royal Highness only looks at the bad, but does not see the good." ”
"What do you mean, sir?" When Li Shimin heard this, he asked slowly, which was enough to see that he was a little disheartened.
