Chapter 115: Brothers Separated by the Wall

If it is according to Romance TV, then there is no doubt about the result. Li Jiancheng in the TV romance is scum, a waste material that can no longer be wasted.

But what about reality?

Li Jiancheng is really good, and he has a talent no less than Li Shimin.

Gentle and elegant, corporal Lixian, concerned about the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, when he was in charge of the country, he governed the world in an orderly manner, and had the demeanor of a wise gentleman.

The Li family's brothers and sisters do not have a good stubble, Li Shimin needless to say that the martial arts of Wenzhi are amazing, the princess of Pingyang started with hundreds of people, and raised an army of 70,000 in Guanzhong, and laid down a base area.

Li Jiancheng is also after the general, not only political achievements, but also military achievements, at the beginning of the army had the great merit of capturing the West River, first breaking the city of Daxing, Ji Hu chaos was pacified by him, and the defense line against the Turks in the north was also handled by him. In any period, Li Jiancheng can be regarded as a famous general, but he was born at an untimely time, and the limelight was overshadowed by Li Shimin, who was more capable of fighting.

Li Jiancheng is a leader with a clear vision, clear thinking, excellent strategy, courage and self-confidence, and he is also a friend and family member who values love and righteousness and has a kind heart. He is a virtuous corporal, has a unique eye, is good at recognizing and using talents, and has a group of capable ministers with good character and brave generals; He was humble and magnanimous, and was supported by the government and the opposition outside, and he also had a very harmonious relationship with his clan relatives and family inside.

It is definitely a blessing for the family and the country for an emperor to have such a great son in his life, but now there are two of them, and they are comparable.

Two brothers, two extremes. As a crown prince, he has a strong political foundation, but a relatively weak military foundation. One is General Tiance, who has excellent military capital and a weak political foundation.

Therefore, they learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses before the Xuanwumen Change, and Li Shimin intentionally or unintentionally accumulated a political foundation. Li Jiancheng also intentionally or unintentionally increased military support. Li Jiancheng has the name of the crown prince and occupies a unique advantage in attracting talents, which is a place that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, can never match.

Li Jiancheng is not a good man and a woman, he was waiting for Li Shimin to make trouble, but Li Shimin almost stripped him of the position of prince when he made a difficulty, and he dared to have the slightest mercy on this second brother who wanted to replace him, and launched an attack on Li Shimin one move at a time. expelled Li Shimin's right-hand men Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui from the Qin Palace, and cut off Li Shimin's winged henchmen one by one.

Is Li Shimin a fuel-efficient lamp?

In the face of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's attacks, Li Shimin is also constantly counterattacking.

You bite me, I kick you; You yin me, I'll knock you with a stick.

That's it, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, you come and go!

One of them was the leader of the princelings, and the other was the leader of the Qin Wang Party, which directly led to an all-out war between the princelings and the Qin Wang Party in the court, and the hatred became deeper and deeper.

Once upon a time, Li Jiancheng had the opportunity to kill Li Shimin, but Li Jiancheng did not make a move; Once upon a time, Li Shimin also had the opportunity to kill Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin did not make a move.

After all, they are siblings, and fratricidal fratricide is not what they want. But when the hatred accumulates to a certain point, when only one of the princelings and the Qin Wang party can survive, what brotherhood is there to speak of?

Li Jiancheng launched a plan to get rid of Li Shimin, but it was like a pawn who killed the old handsome. Li Jiancheng's plan was known to Li Shimin first, and the latter had already bought Li Jiancheng's mansion in the East Palace. A veritable little person.

Never underestimate the little guys, once again proven here.

The day before the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin got Li Jiancheng's plan to kill him, and that night, Li Jiancheng's plan began to be implemented.

Taishi Ling Fu Yi reacted to Li Yuan: "Taibai reverts to the sky!" ”

A few simple words, but full of boundless killing power.

The ancients believed in things like heavenly elephants and witches, especially emperors. Wise as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because the witch Gu almost wiped out his nine clans, he killed his sons and relatives like mustard. Li Shimin also killed Li Junxian, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, because of rumors.

"Taibai Fujing Tian" is a celestial phenomenon, and the celestial phenomenon appears in Qindi, that is, "Taibai sees Qinfen, and the king of Qin should have the world." "Translated, the frequent appearance of the Tai Bai Xing in the land of Qin in broad daylight indicates that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, will soon step on his head and become emperor.

This is tantamount to falsely accusing Li Shimin of rebellion, and through astronomical visions, it is explained that Li Shimin is rebelling, and the reason why Li Jiancheng killed Li Shimin is that Li Shimin is rebelling.

Li Jiancheng has already laid out the game, just waiting for the time to swing the knife.

Li Shimin fought back, and the Jedi fought back. At the moment of life and death, he used the most ridiculous and shocking lie to turn things around: he sued Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji for messing up the harem, and had an affair with Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu, Li Yuan's favorite concubines.

Li Yuan is a man and an emperor.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Li Yuan must confirm it. So as Li Shimin expected, he asked Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to confront him.

This also means that Li Shimin has mastered the movements of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and the next day, Li Shimin is waiting for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to arrive at Xuanwu Gate.

Life and death are in a thought!

Li Shimin took the lead, he won the final victory, and the tragedy of the brother's slaughter began.

"The world says that I, Li Shimin, killed my brother and killed my brother, how cruel and how the conspiracy was exhausted. Who knows, how unoptimistic my situation was at that time. My military power was dismissed, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui...... Waiting for the right hand man, they were driven out of Chang'an one by one, and there was not even a single Xuanjia army left, and the only people I could use at that time were eighty-one guards from the Qin Palace. In the court, no one said a word for me, I was cornered! ”

"The Xuanwumen Revolution is a good one, but it is not a palace coup at all, but an assassination and a shocking gamble. In the heavily guarded palace, what is the success rate of assassinating a future prince and a supreme military commander of the Tang Dynasty with eighty-one people? I don't have any bottom in my heart. ”

"At that time, our brothers were on guard against each other, and a group of guards followed each other when we went in and out, and the eldest brother was both civil and military, although he was not as good as me, but he was not weak. Yuan Ji is a fierce general second only to Qin Qiong, your father, and Yu Chi Jingde, after your father became righteous, his force was the third person in the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said that he was the second with Yu Chi Jingde. Even if they lose the first hand, it is no problem to hold on for a while, at that time, the palace guards were all their people, and when the guards arrived, my hundred-man team would definitely die. I also acted with a certain heart of death, but the result was a big accident, the eldest brother's guards were vulnerable, and the fourth brother, who was not afraid of death and was brave and good at fighting, was afraid to abscond, so that Jingde could easily be stabbed to death. I couldn't figure it out, and in the end I could only convince myself with providence! Now that I heard you say that the fourth brother is still alive, I finally suddenly became enlightened! ”

"The fourth brother has won the trust of the eldest brother, and the guards used are all selected and controlled by the fourth brother, and it is easy for him to mobilize the manpower around the eldest brother, and he transferred the elite guards of the eldest brother, which is deliberately for me to win, and when I die with the eldest brother, he will be able to stand up and preside over the overall situation, and execute the winning one in the name of righteousness. My eldest brother and I are dead, and the crown prince is naturally his. It's just that I acted quickly, and immediately took the holy decree of the rebellion of the eldest brother and the fourth brother from my father, and I had a great righteousness in my hands, and I had a unique prestige in the army, and I took control of the palace guards in less than an hour. The fourth brother knew that the palace wall was tall, and it was not a matter of time and a half to conquer it, and once the sixteen guards arrived, he would definitely die, so he immediately sneaked out of Chang'an to persuade Jieli to go south. The Tang people were panicked, the defense line collapsed, and hundreds of thousands of Turks were killed outside Chang'an City in one fell swoop, his idea was good, but it was wrong. ”

Li Shimin's analysis has been smiling so far, maybe all the previous incomprehensions have suddenly come through, maybe he thinks that Li Yuanji has wasted his efforts.

"I'll test you, tell me, what did he do wrong this time?"

"Uh......" Luo Tong synthesized the ending of the Weishui Alliance, thought seriously for a while, and said with confidence: "He can't see the essence of the Turks clearly, and he miscalculated the needs of Jieli. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and said, "Be detailed!" ”

"Jieli is a personal masterpiece, and he sees it very thoroughly. Knowing that the richness of our Central Plains is not suitable for their Turks, the richness of our Central Plains is because of the farming culture, and farming is the basic of the Central Plains. And the Turks are the root is animal husbandry, and the grain that is abundant in our land is not horse grass. If Jieli had taken a fancy to the land of my Central Plains, the army would have been able to move south as early as the end of the Sui Dynasty when it was in turmoil. At that time, 100,000 Turkic iron horsemen, which prince could resist? ”

"No one beats." Li Shimin said approvingly.

When the Li family rebelled against the Sui, the gang was only less than 30,000 recruits, and if 100,000 Turkic cavalry were really encountered in the wild, it would definitely be the end of a wave of takeaways. Li Tang is a family, Li Yuan himself also has a certain identity and power, and the capital that started with the Li family is like this, and Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande, who are from the north, are even more bleak.

At that time, if the Turkic army really encountered the south, there was no second way except to retreat in the city. It was also because of this that Li Yuan had to be cheeky and let Liu Wenjing send an envoy to the Turks and pay protection fees, so he drew troops to attack Guanzhong, and Li Tang officially gained a foothold at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"The Turks don't fight when they can, the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, and the Turks will send troops for the land? The answer is definitely not. So, the Turks have always fought for money! Their wars are not for money, so they will not fight with us. ”

Luo Tong was full of energy and affirmed: "The grassland does not have the idea of loyalty, they advocate the respect of the strong. In my opinion, the 'Great Khan' is just a fart, useless, as long as the tribes are strong, as long as I, the 'Great Khan' decays, this 'Great Khan' is the object of their slaughter. The tribes obeyed the orders of the 'Great Khan' because they did not have the strength, and once they had the strength, they would inevitably show their sharp teeth. In order to continue to consolidate his position, Jieli must be militarily superior to the sum of his ministries. For him, every soldier of his lineage is a treasure, so when His Majesty laid out suspicious soldiers in Weishui, he had already retreated, and then his father-in-law promised to use cloth and money to form an alliance with him, and the purpose of seeking wealth had been achieved. Chang'an is in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and it is dangerous for the Turks to stay for one more day, so Jieli simply retreated neatly. ”

"Jieli will not lose the army that is the foundation of the world for the sake of wealth, let alone lose the land that is not suitable for their lives, Li Yuanji can't see through Jieli's intentions, and his calculations will naturally fail. By the time he realized it was too late. ”

"When Zhao Deyan used the Central Plains to plague the Turks, Li Yuanji, who had won a lot of benefits, must have played a role in fueling the troubles. If Jieli's plan to build a country is successful, he can sit back and wait for the Turks and the Tang Dynasty to lose and become the last fisherman; If Jieli's plan to build the country fails, Li Yuanji can take advantage of the chaos to grow, and the success or failure of Jieli will be beneficial to him, and it is impossible for him not to support Zhao Deyan. ”

"Exactly!" Li Shimin said solemnly: "My fourth brother portrayed himself as a foolish and ignorant fool who eats and waits for death, so as to hide his ambitions, and then uses the convenience of his body to provoke the relationship between me and my father and eldest brother, which seems to be reckless and unscrupulous, but he kills people with knives everywhere. Xuan revealed a sarcastic look: "He's like Chen Ping in the early Han Dynasty, but a little less sleek, and like Cao Wei's Jia Xu, but a little less calm." The only strength is that he is vicious, and he can make his opponent unrecoverable. But the conspiracy is always successful compared to the yang conspiracy, this kind of person can only live in the dark, if it is on the stage, it will not be successful! Before, I didn't know it, but now I know he's alive, so why don't I be on guard? He can't make it to the climate after all. ”

After it was over, he said a few times: "The fourth brother plotted to kill the little sister first, and then murdered the world, I, Li Shimin, can't spare him." With this roster, I ruined his hard work. ”

Li Shimin could only say these words to Luo Tong, just because in Li Shimin's heart, Luo Tong was not only his courtier's son-in-law, but also had another identity, a confidant who could drink and talk together.

Luo Tong didn't know how to answer for a while, but at this moment, Li Shimin, who he fancied, was not an emperor of the ages, nor an emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but a weak man, a weak man who was betrayed by his younger brother and his little sister's life hung by a thread, causing unbearable past events.

Also, as the song says, strong men can also have times of exhaustion.

Li Shimin is very strong, ridiculously strong, and has created many miracles both in military and government affairs, but the things he has experienced in his life are indeed ups and downs, and they are very unimaginable.

Luo Tong was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Father-in-law, the news that Li Yuanji is alive should be told to the Emperor Taishang." ”

Li Shimin was stunned at first, and suddenly understood in his heart that Luo Tong asked him to use this news to improve the father-son relationship between him and Li Yuan, and he could also use this matter to clear his reputation of "killing his brother and killing his brother": You say that I killed my brother, Li Yuanji is still alive and well; You say that I am plotting to seize the throne, but Li Yuanji is in cahoots with the Turks...... He sold the country and sowed discord before the Xuanwumen Incident occurred...... I, Li Shimin, serve the country and the people, and he Li Yuanji became a traitor, who do you believe? Traitors, shouldn't they be killed? Killing is also a righteous killing of relatives...... It's a big deal to shed a few tears...... Anyway, Li Yuanji already stinks, so it doesn't matter how you pour dirty water on him......

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and almost exhaled excitedly!
