Chapter Ninety-Five: Ban Dang Knows Loyal Ministers
Not long after Zhang Liang was released back to Luoyang, Li Shimin went to the prince's mansion for a banquet with Li Shentong one night, and on the way back, he suddenly had a heart attack and vomited blood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Later, Li Shimin, who was recuperating, cried to Li Yuan, who came to visit, and asked to stay away from Chang'an, which is a place of right and wrong, and only wanted to save his life. The implication is that the crown prince Li Jiancheng poisoned himself during the banquet.
Everyone knows that this thing is basically not done by Li Jiancheng, or in other words, Li Jiancheng disdains and will not do it. Li Yuan's biggest requirement for his sons is brotherly friendship, although because of this throne, friendship is already an empty word, but to kill each other's lives, it is absolutely unforgivable.
Li Jiancheng can't be so stupid.
In this way, the biggest suspicion is Li Yuanji's hand, or Li Shimin's own bitter plan.
Li Yuanji's idea of replacing Li Jiancheng has long been born, it is nothing more than that Li Jiancheng has no way to deal with Li Shimin alone, so Li Yuanji will be this helper, once Li Shimin is defeated, the next thing is Li Jiancheng. Seeing that the struggle was becoming more and more intense, and Li Jiancheng's position was inadvertently becoming more and more stable, Li Yuanji couldn't sit still, so he naturally came up with this idea of borrowing a knife to kill people.
But Li Shimin is more likely to do so. Because he needs to escape Chang'an. This is probably a plan discussed with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in private. As soon as the bitter meat plan was used, Li Yuan felt sorry for his son, so he would naturally agree.
Luo Yan prefers that Li Shimin himself used the bitter meat trick. How can there be such a coincidence in the world, when he happened to follow Li Shentong, Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin, and after coincidentally vomiting a lot of blood, Li Shimin was still alive and well. So there's definitely something strange about this.
Obviously, Li Shimin had the wrong idea, and after Li Yuan heard Li Shimin's cry, he really had the idea of sending Li Shimin to Luoyang. stayed in Chang'an for the past two years, and the three sons fought openly and secretly, which made his head bigger. In the battle in the court, five or six times out of ten are small groups of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.
In this way, the court is chaotic, although Li Yuan loves his son very much, but for the sake of political stability, it is not a good way to send Li Shimin out. After thinking about it, Li Yuan felt that this was indeed a good way, so he allowed Li Shimin's request and allowed him to move to Luoyang.
However, just as Li Shimin was about to leave, Li Jiancheng discussed it with Li Yuanji and felt that this matter was wrong. Li Shimin's departure from Chang'an is like letting the tiger return to the mountain, even if Li Jiancheng ascends to the throne in the future, people may not be stable. Therefore, Li Jiancheng immediately instructed Li Yuanji to expose Li Shimin's plot to Li Yuan. At the same time, he also secretly instructed several people to secretly play Li Yuan, saying that Li Shimin's subordinates were very happy when they heard that Li Shimin was going to Luoyang.
At this moment, Li Yuan felt that something was wrong, so he immediately repented and left Li Shimin behind.
Since Li Shimin was retained, Li Jiancheng still wanted to bring Li Shimin's team over.
This incident fully reflects the prince's wealth. Li Jiancheng tested Li Shimin's subordinates one by one.
The first to be wooed was Wei Chigong.
Why? Li Yuanji's self-proclaimed martial arts among his clansmen is also top-notch, of course, he is just boasting. Once arrogant, he challenged Wei Chigong, but was taken away by Wei Chigong empty-handed. Compared with Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong was a general after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so these people felt that the relationship between Li Shimin and Wei Chigong was not as close as others, and it was easy to buy.
Who would have thought that Li Shimin's other skills may be a little mediocre, but he is indeed the top in the world for the people under his hands.
Li Jiancheng sent a cart of gold and silver, and also thanked Wei Chigong with a sincere letter, hoping that Wei Chigong could talk to him. As a result, Wei Chigong excused himself on the spot and said: "I am a small person who makes a tent for a household and a broken urn for a window, and when I encounter the situation of endless wars and exiles in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, I have long been in the situation of resisting the imperial court. The king of Qin gave me the grace of rebirth, and now I am registered as an official in the palace of the king of Qin, and I should only repay the king of Qin with death. I have not made meritorious contributions to His Highness, and I dare not accept such a rich reward from His Highness out of thin air. If I have a private relationship with His Highness, I will have two hearts for King Qin, and I will be a villain who forgets his righteousness, so what is the use of His Highness wanting such a person! ”
When he said this, he directly made Li Jiancheng unable to get off the stage. Not only that, Wei Chigong also told Li Shimin about this matter. For such loyal subordinates, Li Shimin was so moved that he wanted to cry.
But Wei Chigong is just the beginning, Wei Chigong can't succeed, there are other people, and the next person who was bought was Cheng Zhijie. That's right, it's the Cheng Biting Gold who is very impressive.
is different from the three-plate axe Cheng Biting Jin in the film and television drama, Cheng Zhijie is particularly good at lance, and this weapon exerts great power on the horse. When Cheng Zhijie was in Wagang, Li Mi had 8,000 internal troops under his hands, claiming to be worth a million troops, which belonged to the four hussars, and Cheng Zhijie was one of the four hussars. It can be seen that this person's force is also very strong.
As a result, Cheng Zhijie also didn't obey, Li Jiancheng was completely annoyed and angry, and let Li Yuanji say bad things about Cheng Zhijie, Li Yuan's ears softened, and he directly released Cheng Zhijie.
Next, Duan Zhixuan did not escape Li Jiancheng's wooing, and then unfortunately, Li Jiancheng touched the ashes of his nose again.
The generals failed to win over, and Li Jiancheng began to win over Wenchen again.
The scholars of the Literature Museum, except for those who directly served in the Qin Palace, none of the others escaped Li Jiancheng's wooing. Anyway, it was to bring a cart of gold and silver, and then promise a lot of benefits.
But Li Jiancheng didn't want to think about who these scholars were. Those who did not serve in the Qin Palace, basically wrote famous Confucians, these people are not short of fame, not good for profit, how can they be impressed by gold and silver. Not surprisingly, Li Jiancheng also had no tricks to deal with these Wenchen.
Moreover, these few are not like those generals. Li Yuan, who led the troops to fight, was afraid of rebellion, so Li Jiancheng wanted to do something, it was very simple, as long as Li Yuan was suspicious, it would be easy to clean it up. But these Wenchen families are above board, do they want to clearly say that they are good friends with Li Shimin?
If such a reason is spoken, not to mention that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not agree, Li Yuan will first clean him up.
Out of line? No, Li Jiancheng is not discouraged. There are still some young talents under Li Shimin, who are not particularly valued by Li Shimin, and these people have become the targets of Li Jiancheng's attack.
These people's sense of belonging to Li Shimin is not as strong as that of those generals who were born and died together, and young people need to progress at the same time, Li Shimin has no rights now, and it is basically impossible to give them a way out. Moreover, if you follow Li Shimin for a while, how can you learn some things about Li Shimin, and if you shake out the big secret they don't know, you will make a lot of money.
All of a sudden, Li Jiancheng's subordinates attacked frantically and began to woo the characters on the list that had been collected one by one.
Luo Yan, as the leader of the younger generation of staff under Li Shimin, naturally couldn't escape.
In this one, one day in late May, Luo Yan was coming out of the Qin Palace, and he was blocked.
"Excuse me, you are Luo Yan Luo Jinzhi of Luzhou, right?" After someone blocked Luo Yan, he said this.
"That's right, it's Luo Yan down there, I don't know what is going on with Your Excellency." Luo Yan asked curiously. After coming to Chang'an for so long, no one has ever recognized themselves on the street, and they are still stuck here. So Luo Yan really wanted to know what this person was going to do with himself.
"Someone asked me to bring a letter for Brother Luo, there is a tavern in front of it, and I asked Brother Luo to move. I'll wait over there. The person who came didn't say who brought the letter, which made Luo Yan even more curious, so he followed this person to the tavern.
After sitting down, no one came to order. took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Yan.
The envelope is still ordinary, and not a word is written on it. This made Luo Yan wonder. Previously, Luo Yan thought that it was a letter brought by a fellow villager in Luzhou, and it was very likely that it was brought by his brother-in-law. But looking at this situation, it is definitely not.
Puzzled, Luo Yan opened the envelope and took out the paper stuffed inside.
There are two pieces of paper in total, the first one, after Luo Yan opened it, he saw that it was a gift list, gold and silver treasures, and a large number of books, which was exactly what Luo Yan liked. On another piece of paper, it was written: "Jiu Wenjin is talented, and I am willing to talk to you." "The payment is Li Jiancheng's name.
Now Luo Yan completely understood, it turned out that this goods were sent by Li Jiancheng to buy him.
That's not a good thing. Luo Yan smiled lightly and said to the visitor: "Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Luo Yan has a good intention, but he just knows the strength of the wind and knows the loyal ministers." Luo Yan is not talented, and he does not want to bear the infamy of the ages. The resolute tone let people know that Luo Yan was rejecting Li Jiancheng's overtures.
"Don't regret it, King Qin's current situation, you also know it. Obediently put away the gift list, and you can still gain the trust of His Highness. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
The threat of the coming person did not scare Luo Yan at all, but made Luo Yan smile and say: "Why, I was frightened by Wei Chigong, just because I am a scholar and am easy to bully." I don't inquire, it's Wei Chigong, I don't dare to be so arrogant with you when I see it. ”
Indeed, after Li Jiancheng was rejected by Wei Chigong some time ago, Li Yuanji wanted to send to assassinate Wei Chigong at this moment. Who knew that after Yu Chigong heard the news, he opened the door wide when he slept, waiting for the assassin to come to the door. As a result, the assassin was really frightened by Wei Chigong's bold behavior, and in the end, he didn't even dare to break into Wei Chi's mansion.
After letting the people of the Qin Palace's mansion know about this, they have always felt very relieved. So at this time, Luo Yan took it over and ridiculed the people. Even if he is here at this moment, there is a system to save his life, and Luo Yan himself has some skills, so he will not be afraid.
Seeing that Luo Yan looked soft and hard and didn't eat, the visitor was annoyed and angry, picked up the letter on the table, turned around and left.
