Chapter 109: The Problem of Standing in Line
"General Su, what about the assassin you caught last night? Did he confess something? Wu Wang Li Ke asked Su Dingfang.
"I was about to tell His Royal Highnesses King Wu and King Jin that the assassin was so stubborn that he insisted on meeting His Majesty in person before he was willing to explain who instructed him to assassinate him, and said that the other party was too big and had power in favor of the government and the opposition, even if we were told to us, we had no way to deal with it, and only His Majesty had the right to deal with the other party.
The last general thought twice, or send someone to escort the assassin back to Chang'an, let His Majesty personally deal with it, this matter is very important, the last general did not have time to ask the two highnesses, and asked the two highnesses for forgiveness. ”
Su Dingfang didn't hide it, he told the truth, the only thing he didn't tell everyone was that the assassins had all confessed, but it was just about the two princes competing for the crown, and not telling the two princes was indeed for the sake of the two princes, and it was also for the good of the two princes.
If the two princes were told and the results of the interrogation of the assassins were revealed, Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, would probably be difficult to face calmly.
Li Zhonghua glanced at Su Dingfang, and secretly said that this Su Dingfang is really a sleek person, and the assassin is estimated to have recruited everything, but it is just a matter of explanation, I am afraid that this veteran who was born at the wrong time can not be calm, and he is in a dilemma.
Thinking about what Su Dingfang has experienced over the years, it is not difficult to understand why he handled this matter like this.
Su Dingfang's father was a local tyrant in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, named Su Yong. Su Yong led thousands of villagers to protect the territory and the people, Su Dingfang was fifteen years old, and followed his father to the battlefield at the age of fourteen.
After Su Yong's death, Su Dingfang inherited the family's troops, and Su Dingfang's forces were weak, so he had to defect to Liu Heimin. After Liu Heimin was exterminated by Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang led his troops to defect to Li Jiancheng.
After the Xuanwumen Change, although Su Dingfang was not implicated, because he was Li Jiancheng's person, Li Shimin did not reuse him.
Su Dingfang's official position is just a small fold of the captain. At that time, Su Dingfang's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a regiment today. In other words, in the early years of Zhenguan, Su Dingfang was also mixed with a regiment leader.
Su Dingfang is a capable person, Li Jiancheng does not reuse him, that is Li Jiancheng's loss. Li Shimin is not reused, that is the loss of Datang.
Just when Su Dingfang's future was confused, he ushered in the first noble person in his life, and this noble person was the famous Tang Dynasty military god Li Jing.
Li Jinghui saw the hero and saw at a glance that Su Dingfang was a tiger general, so he decided to take Su Dingfang to crusade against the Turks.
In the war against the Turks, Su Dingfang led 200 cavalry to assault the tooth tent of Jieli Khan, and almost captured Jieli Khan alive.
After this battle, Su Dingfang was appreciated by Li Shimin and was appointed as a lieutenant general.
Li Shimin's subordinates are like a cloud, and Su Dingfang can only be regarded as a young general under Li Shimin.
His qualifications are not as high as those of veterans, so Su Dingfang has not had many opportunities to perform in the hands of Li Shimin.
Of course, this is also related to standing in line, Su Dingfang chose to stand on the right side several times in his life, and chose Liu Heimin, Liu Heimin was destroyed by Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
switched to the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and was not favored by the prince Li Jiancheng, which was both his misfortune and his misfortune.
Fortunately, because he was not valued by the crown prince Li Jiancheng, he was not implicated by the prince Li Jiancheng in the Xuanwumen Change.
Unfortunately, he was once again on the wrong side because he chose to take sides.
Fortunately, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, who is known as the god of the Tang Dynasty, took a fancy to him at a glance and gave him a chance to perform meritorious service.
This position has been in this position for more than ten years, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, the foreign war has hardly stopped, but Li Shimin has many veterans of the Qin Palace, and all of them are war maniacs, and there is still an opportunity for Su Dingfang to lead troops to fight, let alone give him the opportunity to take command.
This time for Su Dingfang, it is another time to stand in line, if he stands right, he will still have a chance to become a general, if he stands wrong, he will be like this at most in his life, or even worse.
So before he saw it clearly, Su Dingfang didn't want to choose a side too early, even if he had to choose a team, he had to choose His Majesty's side.
His Majesty is only in his forties now, it is the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, there are no special circumstances, and he can live for at least twenty or thirty years, so Su Dingfang will choose not to stand in line, and leave everything to Emperor Li Shimin.
I have to say that Su Dingfang's choice is not wrong, no matter who he supports or who he opposes, it is better not to make a choice, and the right to do it is as if he does not know.
Li Zhonghua did not break Su Dingfang, and it was best for everyone to maintain a rare confusion.
Although Li Zhonghua wanted to support Li Ke, the king of Wu, Li Zhonghua thought about it for a while and felt that it was not the right time, but maybe this was an opportunity.
Li Zhonghua guessed that this assassination plan should be aimed at Li Ke, the king of Wu, and the instigator behind the scenes, Li Zhonghua didn't have to think about it to know that there would be no second person except for Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State.
In history, I don't know why, the eldest grandson Wuji would have such a deep prejudice against Li Ke, the king of Wu, that after Li Zhi became Tang Gaozong, Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao, still refused to let go of Li Ke, the king of Wu, and framed him for rebellion, creating a big injustice.
However, the fate of the eldest grandson Wuji was not much better, the family that was harmed by Wu Zetian was ruined, and he embarked on the road of suicide, which may be the original Li Ke before he died, shouting that he was wronged, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji used power to frame him for rebellion, and he must be retributed.
As a result, there was a providence in the dark, and the eldest grandson Wuji was retribution.
In Li Zhonghua's mind, maybe when Li Shimin knew that the mastermind behind the scenes, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji, he would make Li Shimin angry, and he would be even more bent on going his own way, and he wanted to make Li Ke, the king of Wu, the crown prince.
Li Ke, the king of Wu, once asked Li Zhonghua whether he could fight for the position of the crown prince? Is there any hope?
Li Zhonghua only told him one word, and that was to wait.
The position of the crown prince is all decided by the emperor Li Shimin, maybe he will ask the minister, but as a prince, and he is not the son of the queen, Li Ke, the king of Wu, can indeed only have one word.
If Li Ke, the king of Wu, showed a little bit of his intention to be the crown prince, even if Emperor Li Shimin would not punish him, he would never consider making him the crown prince again, and would even send him to that remote corner, and never allow him to return to Chang'an.
If you don't fight, maybe there is still a little hope, if you fight, then it is really a little hope, and there will be no more.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for Li Ke, the king of Wu, to send someone to assassinate Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, can't do such a thing, at least not yet.
The eleven-year-old Princess Jinyang, who has been born and fallen, has the appearance of a beautiful girl, and is very similar to the eldest grandson queen, and her personality is also very docile, and she treats people very well-informed and courteous.
Knowing that Li Zhonghua came to welcome her to Kangding City, Princess Jinyang asked people to help her get out of the carriage.
Li Zhonghua stepped forward and saluted, and Princess Jinyang hurriedly bent down and said, "We finally met again, and the queen mother dragged Mingda to greet Brother Zhonghua before Mingda was going to come here."
Last time, the queen mother almost died, thanks to the rescue of the Chinese brother, the queen mother has always felt defeated in her heart. This time, Mingda is going to trouble Brother China again. ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess is too polite, the queen is kind-hearted, naturally live a long life, the minister just did what he should do, Her Royal Highness the princess came here to find the minister to treat the disease, the minister should do his best, do what the minister can, why the trouble.
It's just that the minister's medical skills are also very limited, and the last time he saved the queen's mother, it was just a coincidence, so Her Royal Highness the princess's body, the minister can't say how sure it is, and her Royal Highness the princess can heal. ”
Li Zhonghua said in accordance with the rules, as for the issue of curing the disease, it is still necessary to say ugly things first.
Duke Jinyang mainly calls him Brother Zhonghua, he has no way not to let her call, but he knows his identity, if he takes his brother's shelf and calls someone Mingda's sister, then Li Zhonghua will be too stupid.
"If Brother Zhonghua's medical skills are not proficient, then the world will not be able to find someone who is better than Brother China's medical skills, and Brother China doesn't have to be too humble.
If Brother Zhonghua can't cure Mingda's illness, then Mingda's fate should be like this, and I believe that the father and mother will not blame Brother Zhonghua. ”
