Chapter Ninety-Two: Everyone Awakens, I'm Drunk
Time passed quietly, and as the struggle with Li Jiancheng repeatedly showed a declining trend, Li Shimin had to gather his staff again to discuss the way out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
During this time, the various methods adopted by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji openly and secretly have been different from the usual ones. Although Li Shimin's life was not endangered, the battle for the throne did not mean that one day he would be put under house arrest and then died violently inexplicably, and Li Shimin was still quite worried about such a thing.
has followed Li Shimin for so long, and Luo Yan actually hasn't heard that Li Jiancheng wants to put Li Shimin to death. Legend has it that Li Jiancheng gave Li Shimin to ride a fierce horse, and most of it is based on false rumors. However, in the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan hunted in the south of the capital, and then rumors spread in the harem, saying that Li Jiancheng sent a fierce horse to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin said that his fate was bestowed. Although everyone knows that it is a rumor, it has indeed affected the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan a lot.
Luo Yan knew that in fact, this was the handiwork of Li Jiancheng's family, but it was just to aggravate Li Yuan's suspicion of Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin would not have a chance to take the throne. Li Shimin has also done a lot of similar things. Although the relationship between Li Shimin and the harem is too stiff, some rumors among the people are also okay.
Also, thinking about what Yang Wengan did at the beginning, Li Shimin could have captured Yang Wengan alive and then sent it to Li Yuan for interrogation. But Li Shimin killed Yang Wengan in the chaos. Who let the rumors spread at this time that the prince instructed Yang Wengan to rebel and usurp the throne.
The methods of attacking each other, in fact, are all you and me, and everyone is using them, but it is obvious that Li Jiancheng has a better effect after using it.
After talking about the current situation, Li Shimin began to ask these aides what they should do.
I don't know who made the suggestion to let Li Shimin establish a foundation in Luoyang.
Why, first of all, let's talk about Li Shimin's situation. is currently staying in Chang'an, and Li Shimin is basically alone except for their staff. The military force in his hand is only the hundreds of guards of the Qin Palace. Once things change, I am afraid that these people may not even be able to save Li Shimin's life. At that time, it was different when he went outside, Li Shimin fought abroad all the year round, and the soldiers and horses of the 12th Army in the world were basically involved with Li Shimin. So this can also be weighed by Li Jiancheng. What's more, once something happens in the court, even if you want to trouble Li Shimin, you have to invite Li Shimin back first.
The idea of these people is that now let people go to Luoyang to establish a foundation, and once the time is ripe, even Li Shimin will find a reason to go to Luoyang. In this way, Li Shimin's safety can at least be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Moreover, what these people know well but what they didn't say is that in the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to set up another central government.
For the thoughts of these people, how could Li Shimin not know. But considering that there is no better way at present, and Li Shimin's heart is ready for that last step at this time. In a sense, in fact, Li Shimin has a close relationship with his staff.
But Luo Yan had a different opinion, and seeing that Li Shimin was a little moved, Luo Yan immediately stood up and said that he had something to say.
"It's a matter of getting in, though." At this time, since he already felt that he had a way out, Li Shimin naturally spoke much more easily than before. Seeing Luo Yan standing up, he asked with a pleasant face.
"I oppose His Highness establishing a foundation in Luoyang." As always, every time Luo Yan spoke at Li Shimin's staff meeting, he was speechless and endless. As soon as Luo Yan's words fell, there was a commotion.
"What, this is a strategy set by a few scholars, this Luo Yan, dare to oppose this."
"The shaft is too arrogant."
……
Basically, it's all one argument, that is, Luo Yan is so arrogant that he even opposes Fang Xuanling's methods.
Luo Yan swept around the people in the hall, and regardless of Li Shimin's face, he asked continuously: "Does Your Highness know how many Crown Prince Qi Wang's eyeliners are outside this Qin Palace?" Does Your Highness know that a saint's edict can ruin His Highness's hard work? Does His Highness know that the East Palace doesn't want to let His Highness out of this Chang'an at all? ”
This is a lot of people.
It has become a habit for these opponents to insert eyeliner into each other. Li Shimin naturally has his own eyeliner in the East Palace, and correspondingly, Li Jiancheng also bought people in the Qin Palace, and with the current strength of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, Li Shimin's exit from the palace is exposed under the noses of others.
Moreover, more importantly, Li Shimin basically can't get out of Chang'an City no matter what.
Li Shimin in Chang'an, that is, a tiger with teeth extracted, no matter how vicious, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have the support of Li Yuan, and they haven't played Li Shimin into the current down-and-out appearance. But out of Chang'an, it's hard to say. So Li Shimin will definitely be looked at very closely by Li Jiancheng.
Li Shimin wanted to go out of the city without permission, he was afraid that if he left the Mingde Gate with his front foot, he would be surrounded by the army chasing after him, and then he would be placed under house arrest by Li Yuan. Up to now, Li Shimin has actually been placed under house arrest in Chang'an City in disguise. Even Li Yuan wasn't very reassuring about him.
Luo Yan continued to ask questions, and stopped a large number of people. Even those who said bad things about Luo Yan behind their backs just now were also silent at this moment. That's right, even if you have established a good foundation in Luoyan, it is not in vain that Li Shimin can't get out of Chang'an.
After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin asked, "Then what is the best way to enter it?" ”
"Set aside a part of the gold and silver and hand it over to the servants and jailers of Chang'an County. Remove the eyeliner inside and outside the palace, and the palace from His Royal Highness down to the royal palace will all re-check the way of origin, but if there is any suspicion, they will all be detained. The palace guards were strictly trained, and the kung fu of hard bows and spears was essential, just in case. From today onwards, the royal family members are not allowed to go out, but if they need to use it, they can only be sent in after strict inspection. His Royal Highness walked around with his clan relatives more, and befriended Zong Zhengqing Li Xiaogong and Huai'an King Li Shentong as much as possible. ”
Making good friends with clan relatives is actually making friends with the two people mentioned above, just because Li Shentong is a clan relative who is particularly valued by Li Yuan, although this general who is often defeated in wars, but in the end there is nothing to do, but the official is getting bigger and bigger. And Li Xiaogong is the other extreme, he fought well, some people say that half of the world in the Tang Dynasty was beaten down by Li Xiaogong, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not much worse, but because some people say that he rebelled, he was also suspected by Li Yuan, and now he is a titular Zong Zhengqing.
As for the family members of the palace, Luo Yan originally wanted to let Li Shimin send him outside the city, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was safer to stay in the Qin Palace.
The most important thing is the first three things. Befriending the errand officers and jailers in Chang'an County is actually to make up for the lack of troops at that time. If Li Shimin really wants to take it by force, he must first ensure the safety of the Qin Palace, otherwise it will be difficult to be attacked by someone who breaks through the palace. And the removal of eyeliner is also for convenience. In the end, the force will be strengthened to ensure the final result to the greatest extent.
There is nothing strategic about these things that Luo Yan said. It is nothing more than to make some more subtle plans according to the current situation, and want to seek some possibilities for turning around from these things. Moreover, Luo Yan is ready to protect himself and take it by force, but in the eyes of others, Luo Yan's approach is a little too radical.
Although he listened to Luo Yan very carefully, in the end, Li Shimin couldn't just listen to Luo Yan, but made two preparations. It was decided that the original plan to establish a foundation in Luoyang would remain inconvenient, and at the same time take into account Luo Yan's proposal just now, anyway, according to what Luo Yan did, it would not affect the general plan in their hearts.
After some discussion, Li Shimin decided to send Wen Daya, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of Taiwan, to guard Luoyang, and sent Zhang Liang, the general of the Qin Wangfu, to lead more than 1,000 people including his confidant Wang Bao to Luoyang, secretly befriending the heroes east of the Kunshan Mountain, waiting for the situation to change, and taking out a large amount of gold and silver silk for them to use.
In fact, Li Shimin's biggest failure in this matter is to secretly befriend Shandong Haojie.
Why do you say that, when Li Jiancheng pacified Liu Heimin, the half year he spent in Shandong was not in vain. During this period, Li Jiancheng used his personality charm to really make friends with a lot of Shandong heroes. Moreover, even now, Li Jiancheng's name is still circulating in Shandong.
Seriously, this point is definitely not something that Li Shimin can compare. How long has this cargo conquered Xu Yuanlang, and the relationship with Shandong Haoqiang is not as good as Li Jiancheng. Now that you have made such a friendship and spent a lot of gold and silver, you are not trying to expose your actions.
Now that the situation in the court is like this, Li Shimin has fallen into a disadvantage, and if he wants to help Li Shimin to the throne, he still has to do his best. There are many heroes in Shandong, but it doesn't mean that the heroes don't have brains. Li Jiancheng is in a good situation, just wait for Li Yuan to die, and he will be able to ascend to the throne smoothly, who will follow you to make peace.
Of course, Li Shimin did not let go of Luo Yan's suggestion. After all, he has to handle all these things that Luo Yan said, and at this time, he happens to have nothing to do in Chang'an. Maybe following Li Shentong and them to move around a lot can bring unexpected gains.
This is the end of a staff meeting. Others looked at Luo Yan with envy, because Luo Yan, as a newcomer, had already won Li Shimin's affirmation. But Luo Yan himself didn't think so.
After all, he is still too young, and the time he has followed Li Shimin is too short. You see that Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui is very happy, and Li Shimin is very happy when he opens his mouth to make an idea, and basically there is no objection from others. When it comes to himself, it is obviously a pretty good way, but it has to be discussed for a long time, and this difference makes Luo Yan feel a little aggrieved.
