After listening to his brother's question, Li Shimin stood up without the slightest hesitation and saluted his brother and father respectively, and then smiled: "Father, brother." I haven't heard much about this, I just rushed back from the front yesterday, so I don't know as much about the things in Chang'an City as my brother. Therefore, it is not accurate to say whether this matter is true or false. ”

"Oh? Is that so? There are also rumors about the second brother in Chang'an City, and I have also heard people say that the second brother has collected the world's heroes in the army, and he has trained a detailed army that can specialize in spying on enemy intelligence? For his father to let his second brother Li Shimin take charge of absolute military power, Li Jiancheng was very unhappy in his heart. My father was admittedly well-intentioned, allowing him to concentrate on political affairs, and letting his second and third brothers serve in the army, so that his father could firmly grasp both military and political affairs. But the biggest drawback of this move is that after a hundred years of my father, the battle for the inheritance position may set off another bloody storm. When the time comes, I am afraid that if I have no military power, I will definitely become a victim of this political struggle. Therefore, at this time, it is natural to seize any opportunity to suppress his second brother.

"Brother, it's a bit of a joke for you to talk like that. I'm just a martial artist, and I can only lead troops into battle. If I ask about the events before the formation of these two armies, I will naturally be confident. But brother, you are the right-hand man of your father who is guarding the rear in Chang'an City, how can my news be as good as yours? After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Alright! Look at the two of you, where do you still look like brothers? Whether this rumor is true or not, if someone really has an ulterior motive and spreads it within our territory, it means that someone has pointed a knife at your nose, and you are not aware of it, but you are still killing each other, right? How dare I hand over the great cause to you in a hundred years? Li Yuan saw that at this time, his unknown enemy had already put the threat in front of him, and his two sons were still arguing with each other over some trivial matters, so he also took the case and shouted angrily at his two sons.

After being scolded by their father, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin stopped talking, just stood in place and bowed their heads obediently listening to their father's scolding. At this time, Li Yuanji, who had been watching the play for a long time, stood up leisurely and said to Li Yuan unhurriedly: "Father, you calm your anger first." From the son's point of view, the matter is not as complicated as the father and the two brothers said. You must know that all rumors are passed on by word of mouth from people's mouths, so we can catch a few people who know this rumor at will, and grope up layer by layer through inquiries and some necessary means, so that we will eventually find out who spread these rumors in the interior of Chang'an City. When the time comes, it will naturally become clear that the fundamental purpose of his rumors is that it is much better than the endless arguments we are arguing about here now. ”

Li Yuanji's words finally made Li Yuan feel a little clue, so he nodded with satisfaction to Li Yuanji, and then said to the other two sons: "Look at what you brothers are doing all day long?" One claims to be the head of a hundred officials, and the other claims to be a victorious general on the battlefield. How can you deal with this matter at this time, even your younger brother is not as good as you? All day long, I only know that I am competing for fame and fortune here, is the world too peaceful? After the two of you return to the house, you will lock yourself up for five days and repent well! Think about what you should do. As for this rumor, Yuanji, you will deal with this matter. ”

"Father, rest assured, son, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations, and I will definitely investigate this matter, my father's eldest brother and second brother, then I will retire first." After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he exited the main hall of the Li Mansion and returned to his home.

In Li Yuanji's own home, there was a mysterious person who waited in his house for a long time, and at this time he saw Li Yuanji walking in from outside, so he also got up and said to Li Yuanji: "Looking at the look of the son, presumably the matter we discussed before must have been settled, right?" I'm here to congratulate Childe first. ”

After Li Yuanji entered the house, he put away his arrogance, and bowed respectfully to the mysterious man and said, "As Mr. said, my two brothers really quarreled in front of my father. And at that time, my father was indeed angry, and my father did reproach the two brothers as Mr. said, and I made that suggestion at the right time according to what Mr. said. My father was very satisfied with this and told me to deal with the matter. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, since Childe asked me to be a staff member for Childe. Then I should do my best to pave the way for Childe to take power, and as long as Childe can do what I have told you, then it should not be difficult to bring down your two brothers. The mysterious man smiled at Li Yuanji and said.

"Mr. is clever, and Yuanji is naturally based on what Mr. said. Is there anything else that my husband needs to tell me about what my father has told me today? After Li Yuanji pulled the person to sit across from him, he asked the mysterious man.

"Without him, as long as Childe continues to do what we said in advance, there is no difficulty at this time, and it can be said that he can be caught." Just when the mysterious man wanted to say more, the voice of the family came from outside:

"Childe, the second son came to visit you, and now the second son has been arranged in the living room."

After Li Yuanji heard this, he stood up with some frowns and said to the mysterious man: "Sir, what do you think my second brother is doing here?" ”

"The second son should have come here first to discuss specific matters with you, and wanted to find out your details. You don't want to mention the plan you want to do next, you can talk about it left and right, you can talk about something else. The mysterious man instructed Li Yuanji.

After instructing Li Yuanji, the mysterious man said goodbye to Li Yuanji and left Li Yuanji's mansion through the back door of the Li Mansion. Standing in the narrow alley of the back door, the mysterious man dressed up and put back the waist card that was somewhat exposed.
