Chapter 100: Imbalance of Heart
Because the drunken beauty became a tribute wine, the drunken beauty quickly opened up a market in Chang'an City.
Basically, as soon as the drunken beauty wine is produced, someone makes an order.
The price of the drunken beauty is not cheap, Qin Tian and they naturally made a lot of money quickly.
And just when Qin Tian and the others made a lot of money with drunken beauties, the crown prince Li Jiancheng finally returned triumphantly with the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
On this day, when the Tang army returned to Chang'an City, from the city gate to Zhuque Street, there were all the people of Chang'an standing all the way, some of these people were joining in the fun, and some wanted to see if their relatives had come back alive.
They look forward to it, and when they see their son or husband, they can't help but shout, and those who can't see it are suddenly gloomy.
War has always been brutal.
Li Jiancheng led the army to the direction of the palace, and when he came to Suzaku Street, he saw Li Yuan with hundreds of civil and military officials at the gate of the palace.
Li Jiancheng was overjoyed when he saw the Son of Heaven welcoming him, and hurriedly flew off his horse and hurried away.
"The son visits his father."
"Prince, get up, you have repelled the Turks this time and made a great contribution, and your father has set up a banquet in the palace, let's go together."
"Thank you, Father."
Li Yuan took the hand of the crown prince Li Jiancheng and entered the palace, and the generals and strategists who went out with the army glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed from behind.
Li Shimin stood aside, his eyebrows slightly condensed, but then he regained his composure and entered the palace with the group of generals and strategists.
Li Yuan intended to show his status as the crown prince, so at the banquet, he was very kind to Li Jiancheng, and saw that many officials were determined to support Li Jiancheng in their hearts.
Li Shimin here, more and more breathless.
Originally, this matter should have been his, but it was robbed by Li Jiancheng.
robbed it, robbed it, but he, Li Shimin, restrained Liang Guo and Hou Sui, that was also a credit, but why didn't he see Li Yuan being so good to him?
However, although Li Shimin was angry, he also seemed more and more calm, talking and drinking with people, there was no difference from usual, as if Li Jiancheng had received such a great favor and had nothing to do with him.
After the feast was over, the others retreated one after another.
As soon as Li Shimin returned to the Qin Palace, Li Ji and others followed.
"Lord Wang!"
When Li Shimin saw them, he hurriedly said, "You have worked this trip. ”
"It's not hard, it's just that I'm unhappy, if the prince leads the troops, these favors today are all yours of the prince." Wei Chigong was very angry next to him.
Although Qin Qiong also had such thoughts, she did not express them.
Li Shimin smiled lightly: "It's okay, you follow the expedition, and you can be regarded as having made great contributions, as long as you have this military merit, what is the difference between this king and leading the troops?" ”
Li Shimin's words were all for the sake of these people, and after hearing this, Wei Chigong and these generals were naturally grateful, but Li Ji smiled lightly and said nothing.
After everyone said a few words, Li Shimin asked them to go home on the grounds that they had been away from home for a long time.
However, Li Ji stayed alone.
"Is there anything else going on with the British duke?"
Li Ji said: "Lord, looking at today's situation, the Holy Lord can be said to be extremely gracious to the prince, we should prepare early." ”
Li Ji's words were a little vague, but Li Shimin knew very well what he meant, if it was before, Li Shimin might have reprimanded Li Ji again, but after today's incident, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he asked, "What does the British Duke mean?" ”
"In this situation, it is basically impossible to seek the throne through the right way, so we can only use the strong, but to use the strong, before the prince does not have absolute strength, when Taoguang is obscure, wait for the opportunity."
"How to keep the light in the dark?"
"In Chang'an City, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the prince to have too much power, so he can only focus on the outside of the capital, infiltrate the forces outside, and then surround them from the outside to the inside."
Speaking of this, Li Ji smiled indifferently again: "Like subordinates and Yiguo Gong, it is best to be dispatched outside, so that we can help the prince develop his power outside, and the prince will also relax his vigilance against the prince when he sees that I am not in Chang'an City, and then the prince can be quiet." ”
"This?" Hearing that Li Ji, Qin Shubao and others were going to leave Chang'an City, Li Shimin's heart sank suddenly, and he said: "You are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty, how can you be released, this is ...... How can this king bear it? ”
Li Ji shook his head: "Lord Wang, it's just temporary, besides, if you want to do great things, you have to hate it, and after you ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, don't forget about me." ”
"How dare you, this world has to be ruled with all the kings, how can you forget, but so many of you want to go out, I'm afraid it's not easy, then the prince is by no means stupid, how can he not be suspicious?"
Li Ji said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this matter will have to be done with the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will never be suspicious." ”
“…………”
East Palace.
After the banquet, Li Jiancheng and a group of civil and military generals returned to the East Palace.
At this time, Li Jiancheng was very excited, and Li Yuan greeted him outside the palace today, obviously to give him this face, so that the ministers of the court and the central government would recognize and submit to him as a prince.
And this also means that his position as the crown prince is becoming more and more stable.
"To be able to repel the Turks, you have made great contributions, and this prince will definitely wait for a reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
"Okay, okay, just now in the palace, I guess you are not very happy, let's continue to drink here, come on, bring good wine."
After the generals sat down, the attendants in the East Palace brought a few jars of wine.
"Pour it full, pour it all up."
The chamberlain hesitated for a moment, but finally boldly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this wine is called Drunken Beauty, it is very domineering, one bowl can get people drunk, Your Highness and the generals, let's drink it slowly." ”
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, Xue Wanche suddenly stood up: "Phew, what bowl can be intoxicating, I, Xue Wanche, have always been massive, a thousand cups are not drunk, pour me a bowl to try." ”
The waiter smiled bitterly, and Xue Wanche suddenly scolded again: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up?" ”
The prince didn't believe that the drunken beauty was so domineering, so he glared at the waiter: "Pour wine!" ”
The waiter had no choice but to pour a full bowl of wine for Xue Wanche, and after Xue Wanche picked up the wine, he smiled softly with disdain, and then drank it with a clatter.
After drinking it in one breath, he smiled: "What kind of domineering wine, it's just ...... like this."
Before he finished speaking, Xue Wanche suddenly felt the smell of alcohol surge, his head was dizzy, and then he fell to the ground with a plop.
"Good wine...... Good wine......"
Xue Wanche was drunk, and everyone present was shocked.
