Chapter 473: The Prime Minister Sees Suspicion (3)

I read it twice, I was shocked and suspicious in my heart, looking at Zhang Wensu speechless for a while, if this letter was seen by Li Yuanji, how he would act, I can't imagine at all.

Zhang Wensu saw that I seemed to be frightened, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this letter has been sent to Jinyang at that time, but fortunately, Mr. Wei intercepted it, so it did not cause a change in Jinyang. ”

I can't answer for a while, although this is written by Pei Lian, but it must not be just him, no wonder in Zhuo County, Li Yi, who has always been grateful for his father's kindness, will challenge me, is it that after I returned to Chang'an, Pei Lian's various behaviors in front of me are just a play?

Is he still planning to fulfill his father's last wish? I was suddenly scared in my heart, Zimin was still in Daxing Palace, if they took Zimin as a hostage and threatened me, what should I do?

Thinking of this, sweat almost broke out on my forehead.

I took another sip of the teacup, and for some reason my mind suddenly turned, remembering the principle of "employing people without suspicion" that I have always adhered to, if I hadn't seen this letter, Pei Lin would still be the minister of the humerus in my eyes, everything in Chang'an was still as usual, there was no danger at all, what am I afraid of?

Thinking of this, I looked at Zhang Wensu again, and he was looking at me, as if he wanted me to say something.

But I got up and walked to the tent door, and the letter in my hand was still in the fire, and watched it turn to ashes, and then I withdrew.

After sitting down again, Zhang Wensu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is ......."

I waved my hand and said: "Sir, although Jiancheng has not read all the history books, he also knows that most of the loyal ministers in history have been wronged, and it is caused by those villains who have seen the opportunity to take advantage of it and deliberately manipulate right and wrong in front of the king. Saying that, he looked at Zhang Wensu, "I'm not saying that Mr. is such a villain, but if someone treats Uncle Pei like we treat Uncle Pei like we do to Du Ruhui, so that the loyal ministers are wronged, when the truth is revealed, how can I deal with myself?" ”

Zhang Wensu said: "Your Majesty really thinks so? ”

I nodded and said: "I was once suspicious of my father, I know what it is like to be suspicious, I also suspected Mr. Chai back then, Mr. Chai went to danger in order to prove his innocence, and almost died. Not to mention that this letter may have been deliberately provoked, it was really written by Uncle Pei, presumably it has been a long time, if I think about the past, I will lose my bearing, so I am afraid that I am not worthy of being a king. Sir's words, Jiancheng should pay attention, but Jiancheng really doesn't want to be the person who is suspicious of the minister, can Mr. understand? ”

Zhang Wensu said with a smile: "If Your Majesty is really like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to be the Son of Heaven." ”

I said, "Why?" ”

Zhang Wensu said: "Your Majesty doesn't know the emperor's mental technique, but that one does, but he can't help but play too much." ”

I knew he was talking about Li Shimin, so I just smiled.

Zhang Wensu said again: "Actually, Brother Shu Jue thought that His Royal Highness King Wei knew a lot about the art of the emperor and knew how to weigh it, but it was a pity that the sword went off the rails, and those things happened later, otherwise it would be ......."

Zhang Wensu looked at me and didn't finish his words.

When he mentioned Li Xuanba, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart, to this day, I don't understand Li Xuanba's purpose of harming me, and in the end, he died before he had time to ask.

Zhang Wensu saw that I was sentimental, and said: "Actually, Wensu meant, but I persuade Your Majesty to return to Beijing as soon as possible, Your Majesty is not in Beijing to manage the government, I am afraid that after a long time, the ministers of the DPRK and China will have a complaint." ”

I nodded, "Sir, I understand." ”

Later, when I asked about it again, Pei Lin did write such a letter, which was indeed intercepted by Wei Zheng, but that was before I returned to Chang'an, in fact, it was just an edict, and it had nothing to do with whether or not he was loyal to me.

When I followed Zhang Wensu's words and returned to Chang'an, everything was calm as usual, in fact, Zhang Wensu should still have what he wanted to say but did not say it, he had already mentioned that Li Xuanba was more suitable to be a king, and the implication was actually that I was not very suitable.

In this way, didn't he choose the wrong person from the beginning when he chose me in the first place?

I sat in the hall of the two ceremonies with a lot of questions, looking through the pieces presented from all over the country, and Zi Min sat quietly on the side, not knowing what she was thinking.

After watching it once, I couldn't help but ask, "Zimin, what are you thinking?" ”

Zi Min smiled: "Big brother doesn't have to pay attention to it, it is important to concentrate on government affairs." ”

She said the same, I suddenly felt very bored, put the Chinese book on the table, got up and sat down next to Zimin, and said: "Don't persuade me like this in the future, before I come back, Mr. Zhang also preached." ”

Zi Min said: "Big brother doesn't like it? ”

I nodded, took her hand and said, "Am I like a faint gentleman?" ”

Zi Min smiled: "How come? ”

I leaned next to her and told Zimin about the conversation with Zhang Wensu in the military tent outside Luoyang City, along with Pei Lian's letter to Li Yuanji.

After hearing this, Zimin asked, "Where is the letter now?" ”

I laughed and said, "I threw it in the brazier and burned it." ”

Zimin smiled, held my hand with his backhand and said, "Big brother still said that he is a faint king?" Not like. ”

Less than ten days later, news came from Liyang that the tens of thousands of troops led by Duan Zhixuan were wiped out under the attack of Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin, and Xu Shiji sent people to reoccupy Liyang Cang and sent troops to guard Liyang again.

Another elite army of 5,000 people went around to Zhang Gongjin's department and destroyed the grain road.

The tide of the battle was reversed almost immediately, without Duan Zhixuan being hindered behind our backs, we had no scruples about confronting Li Shimin outside Luoyang City.

Speaking of Zhang Gongjin, because the grain road was destroyed, rumors spread in the army for some reason, saying that Zhang Gongjin's grain could not last for three days, and his morale suffered a lot because of this.

Originally, Li Yuanji and Zhang Gongjin were not far apart in strength, so there were victories and defeats, but now once the army's morale is unstable, Li Yuanji will have the advantage of attacking again, and Zhang Gongjin will be beaten back for 50 miles in just one battle.

After Li Yuanji forced Zhang Gongjin to retreat, he sent people to Luo Shixin's army to report the news, saying that he would be able to lead the army to Luoyang in a few days.

At this point, the victory has been decided, in fact, there is no need for Du Ruhui to come forward, even if you attack Luoyang, it may not be impossible to conquer.

It's just that Zhang Wensu and I had the same idea, and after hearing about the battle situation on the front line, I immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Wensu, and the letter was sent, and the letter written by Zhang Wensu to me arrived.

The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and those who are above are also.

If it is a strong attack, it will naturally be able to break through Luoyang, but the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City will inevitably suffer, if they can enter Luoyang without blood, they will not only save financial resources, but also calm people's hearts, broadcast the name of benevolence and righteousness, and can also dispel other hidden forces that are not satisfied.
