Chapter 101: It's All Fake
Li Yuanji's heart suddenly tightened, a pair of sinking eyes, instantly became energetic, and he looked at Duan Lun as if shooting out a bright light, and the temperament of the whole person was completely different from before.
With Duan Lun's experience, it is impossible not to see Li Yuanji's abnormality.
But fortunately, with Princess Gaomi on the side, Duan Lun's status in the family was not as good as Princess Gaomi, so he naturally didn't have the heart to observe Li Yuanji's reaction now.
"Who is it?" Princess Gaomi grabbed Duan Lun's arm violently and asked.
"Zhang Hongshen!" Duan Lun gritted his teeth.
He wasn't sure about the situation, it was just a guess, and even he couldn't believe that Zhang Hongshen would speak for King Qi.
"Impossible, if you say who speaks for Yuanji in the court, I believe it, but it can never be Zhang Hongshen." Princess Gaomi's reaction was faster and more resolute than Li Yuanji's.
However, when he heard Zhang Hongshen's three words, Li Yuanji was still secretly relieved in his heart, and at the same time said with doubts in his eyes: "How could Zhang Hongshen speak for me?" Does that make no sense? β
Duan Lun nodded in agreement, not only did Li Yuanji feel unreasonable, but he himself felt unreasonable, but Duan Lun was a little convinced of his own judgment, what had he ever encountered in his life? What kind of people haven't seen it? What kind of words have not been heard?
Intuition told Duan Lun that his judgment was not wrong, but he did not catch the evidence of directness.
His face was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "Zhang Hongshen spoke for His Highness more than once, and even angered His Majesty, but after that, Zhang Hongshen still stood up to speak for His Highness at a critical moment. β
"And this?" Li Yuanji was shocked and almost failed to stand firm.
Duan Lun continued to nod: "If I am not mistaken, the first time Zhang Hongshen spoke for His Highness should be after the Xuanwu Gate, that is, when His Highness returned to Chang'an, when the eldest grandson Wuji and others suggested that His Majesty kill His Highness and never suffer in the future, His Majesty also agreed, but Zhang Hongshen strongly persuaded His Majesty not to kill His Highness with the news he got from Qin Qiong, which was one of them.
After that, there were also a few times, His Royal Highness made a big fuss about the Yushitai, made a big fuss about the Gao family, openly fought with Wei Chi Jingde, and the matter of the cement workshop, the last time was Gao Cheng's performance, although Zhang Hongshen did not support His Royal Highness in public, but as far as I know, every time Zhang Hongshen personally wrote a secret recital to His Majesty. β
"This ...... How is this possible? Li Yuanji couldn't believe it.
Zhang Hongshen is Zhang Gongjin, who has been the person of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, since the beginning of the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, and later gave advice to Li Shimin, which was deeply loved by Li Shimin.
Before the Xuanwumen Change, Zhang Gongjin also strongly persuaded Li Shimin to abandon his worries and kill Li Jiancheng and himself.
One of the people behind the coup d'Γ©tat would protect his enemies after a successful coup? This is simply unheard of, and it is a big joke in the world.
Princess Gaomi also reacted in the same way, even if some things are not made public, they will be passed on in a certain circle.
What did some people do in the Xuanwumen Change, the current history will not record, but there will always be some mistakes, if no one knows at all, how can it appear in history in a few decades?
Li Yuanji was a little glad of his choice, although he was still very passive now, but at least he was far away from the center of the whirlpool of the storm in the court.
This intrigue is playing, and going there with your own heart and eye is estimated to make people play to death.
There are some things that must be fought for in everything, but to be done within one's means.
"I don't think it's likely, but Your Majesty recently proposed in the court to appoint Zhang Hongshen as the acting governor of the state." Duan Lun continued.
If Li Shimin wants to control the whole country and sweep away the old forces, he must send his own people out to control various places, so that they can be connected.
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with sending Zhang Gongjin out.
Li Yuanji suddenly thought of a possibility: "Because of several secret performances, he angered the second brother, so he was in such a hurry to send him out?" And Daizhou is the northern frontier, and when you get there, you can only be powerless even if you have the heart. β
"Second brother will probably be inclined to send all your ministers out, will it be because he wants to do it?" Princess Gaomi also expressed concern.
"But Your Majesty strictly ordered the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian to be reprimanded yesterday, so that the two of them should no longer be enemies of His Highness, not in the court, but in private." Duan Lun hurriedly added.
The chaos of the situation makes people unable to see why, many things seem to have settled on the surface, but the next moment there may be a reversal.
"No, it's Turkic!" Li Yuanji suddenly thought that two years later, the Tang army would conquer the Turks in the north, and this time the Turks would bring great humiliation to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin had already made up his mind to conquer the Turks in the north.
If the two sides put everything on the table, then the war will only get bigger and bigger, and the casualties of the Tang army will only get bigger and bigger, so there is only one possibility left: "The second brother hopes to use this incident to create the illusion that Zhang Gongjin was degraded, so as to force the Turks to be careless, and Zhang Gongjin became the governor of the acting state, but in fact, he was secretly preparing for war." β
"Another war?" Princess Gaomi was stunned.
"The fight is definitely going to be fought, the Turks not only slapped the second brother in the face this time, but also slapped the face of Datang, this field must be recovered." Li Yuanji nodded affirmatively, and then smiled slightly, "Fourth sister, you don't have to worry about my affairs, I reached an agreement with the second brother, and the second brother will not do anything to me." β
β¦β¦
With a thick doubt, Li Yuanji left the Horse Mansion.
In order not to worry the fourth sister, Li Yuanji had no choice but to throw out the agreed matter, although he didn't know if Li Shimin would abide by it, but he obviously didn't plan to abide by it.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian have repeatedly put themselves to death, if this field is not recovered, don't think about living a stable life in the future.
If it is fast, it will be half a month, and if it is slow, it will inevitably make the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian unable to eat and walk around.
So about the matter of these two guys, Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to it for the time being.
At the moment, what he is most concerned about is Zhang Gongjin's affairs, and if Duan Lun doesn't say anything about the secret music several times, he will never know about it.
Prior to this, Duan Lun was the target of Li Shimin's active wooing, and he also trusted Duan Lun several times.
But Duan Lun could never stand in the same trench as Li Shimin, so he was alienated by Li Shimin.
"I don't understand, I don't understand! It's better to be in Taipingfang, you don't have to worry about anything, and you don't have so much deception. "Anyway, Zhang Gongjin's feeling to himself is not true, all this may be an illusion.
In any case, it is impossible to give up your own preparation and self-help measures, and once you let your guard down, it is really too late to regret it.
"Eh~~~ Wang Yongan seems to be waiting for this king......" Looking up at the gradually darkening sky, Li Yuanji slapped his head violently.
