Chapter 404: You Deserve Your Bad Luck
The more Lin Sen pondered, the more he felt that what Cheng Huaiyu said was very reasonable. In terms of the current situation, the possibility of the family members jumping out is not too great, even if they are interested in the profits of Spice Island, they should think of joining in, instead of coming up and killing Lin Sen, the previous principal.
Because of their interest alliance, which was originally to boycott the family, they naturally rejected these people, even if they killed Lin Sen, they expected to participate in and get a piece of the pie.
The other nobles and the royal family will not allow them to come in and usher in another meeting.
Moreover, after the accident that happened to Ping An before, Li Shimin gave a promise, with the current state of the family officials, they should not be allowed to ignore Li Shimin's warning and blatantly attack Lin Sen, that is, they are slapping Li Shimin in the face.
The benefits obtained from this are only a change of thought, and the losses caused by Li Shimin's revenge that they will inevitably face are not at the same level at all.
For the people of the family, interests are always put first, and personal likes and dislikes and grievances must be compromised for this.
At the moment, on the cusp, ambushing Lin Sen is obviously not in their interests, so the possibility of them doing it is very small.
On the contrary, as Cheng Huaiyu said, Li Chengqian's brothers are the most likely to do it.
Or because of Xi Junmai's relationship, Lin Sen can now be marked as half of the prince's party.
And the closeness and importance that Li Chengqian shows to him on weekdays is definitely not hypocritical, but indeed has the intention of treating him as a friend.
Transferring Xi Junmai to Li Chengqian's side will obviously not be a temporary decision, the position of the prince's guard leader is too sensitive and too important, and it will definitely not be adjusted casually now that Li Chengqian has been the prince for many years.
If you want to say that there is no meaning of Li Shimin, Lin Sen will definitely not believe it.
The master-apprentice relationship between Xi Junmai and him Lin Sen can be said to be well known to the world, otherwise he and Xue Rengui would not have been put into the "Lin Family's One Door and Three Fierce Generals".
From this point of view, there is no meaning behind this that Li Shimin wants to make him Lin Sen used by the prince.
And the reason why Xue Rengui was not chosen to play this role, but let him stay on Tuyuhun's side, in addition to because his mind was not pure enough, it was also during the battle that he saw that this guy had the potential to be a famous general, and Tuyuhun, who assisted Murong Fushun locally, also needed such a person more.
Of course, Lin Sen felt that there was another reason, that Xue Rengui's wife and children were all in Chang'an City, which was more in line with the unspoken rules of expatriate generals.
As for Xi Junmai, he is still alone, and his temperament is more upright.
It may also be that in the process of talking with Lin Sen, Li Chengqian discovered the positioning of these two people in Lin Sen's mind, one is handsome and the other is a general, so there is such an arrangement.
Knowing that Lin Sen would become his own person, and he was still full of good feelings, Li Chengqian's brain was pumped, so he would do the thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall, and deliberately ambush Lin Sen, who was about to become a fierce general under his command.
In any case, he is a qualified prince who can be recognized by Li Shimin and other ministers, and there is absolutely no possibility of making such a low-level mistake.
Besides, Li Chengqian has no motive to do this again, he has no grudge against Lin Sen, and there is no benefit to killing Lin Sen, and if he doesn't do it, he will let those gangs of martial artists deviate from morality.
You can't just oppose it for the sake of opposition, Li Shimin asked him to use Lin Sen, he wants to kill this half of his friends.
On the other hand, understanding the deep meaning behind Li Shimin, other princes who are competing with Li Chengqian for this position have too many reasons to do so.
Weakening Li Chengqian's power is the most direct point, and it can also curry favor with the officials of the family and win more power.
Another one provoked some civil and military fights, so that the court was not very stable, so that they could absorb more power for their own use.
The more fierce the battle, the more officials naturally have to huddle together in order to keep their positions, and they have to find backers, which is an opportunity for those princes.
Of course, Li Chengqian hopes that the government will be as stable as possible, and if nothing happens, he will be more stable in the position of the crown prince, and the possibility of taking over the power will be greater at that time.
In addition, there is another thing that makes Lin Sen affirm this judgment, which lies in the other sentence that Cheng Huaiyu said, "Don't you think that today's royal banquet is a bit of a loss?" ”
Think about the performance of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun at the banquet, and then think about today's battle, and then connect with your own experience, if you want to say that it is a special trip to compensate, it seems reasonable.
It's just that the emperor and the empress must not be able to put the words "sorry" on their lips, so a family banquet is enough to express it.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Li Chengqian's two younger brothers are more likely, otherwise why would Empress Changsun personally come out.
Thinking about it along this thought, it seems that many things can be explained, why there are so many dead soldiers, why there is such a tight organization, and most importantly, why the main messenger behind it is always missing, because Li Shimin doesn't want Lin Sen to find it at all.
Faced with this situation, Lin Sen had to pretend not to know.
Li Shimin's love for his own son is absolutely boundless, and this refers to Li Chengqian, and his two half-brother Li Tai and Li Zhi.
Let's just look at this is also a rebellion, Li Chengqian was only demoted in the end, but Li Shimin personally came forward to intercede for his son, so that no one dared to say that he had to be killed.
But what about other sons, such as Concubine Yin's son Li You, who was directly demoted to a commoner and then killed, this differential treatment is simply not too obvious.
When he came to Li Tai, not only did he not give a limit to the amount of food and clothing at all, but also opened a literature museum for him because he liked literature, which was the same as when he was the old man.
is even more because of this unlikable little fat man, with long eyes and a head, he offended all the ministers, and no one treated him, but specially called the ministers to criticize him, and came up with a policy, requiring everyone to respect him.
It seems that if they did it, Lin Sen's loss would really be decided.
If he dares to attack these brothers, it would be strange if Li Shimin didn't kill him.
And not only can't you attack them now, but you have to pretend that you don't know at all, and maintain your image as a simple-minded general.
But in the future, I can teach them how to behave, since I am on the ship of Li Chengqian, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to fight them?
Right now, naturally I still have to ask for some justice from those people in the family, my wife has helped to make a show before, if I don't take any action, wouldn't it be in vain for Cheng Huaiyu's hard work.
Besides, when I went to Lingnan, I was not less "taken care of" by them.
If Feng Ang hadn't been afraid, it would be difficult to say whether he could come back now, and this account should be calculated well.
What's more, this ambush, in the final analysis, was also caused by them, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't deal with themselves was about to become known to passers-by, the son of the dignified emperor, why would he find a breakthrough from a young general himself.
So to put it simply, revenge is right on those people in the family.
