Chapter 404: Calculation (2)

Li Jiancheng didn't care about Li Yuanji's words, but directly said to Li Yuanqi:

"Enlighten the Emperor! Erchen thought that Dou Jiande was also a hero, and Erchen asked for an order to bury Dou Jiande's body. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info buried it in the hometown of Beizhou. In addition, Shan Xiongxin is also a loyal minister, his death does not descend to the Tang Dynasty, the son of the minister requested, will also be Shan Xiongxin buried, his wife pardoned, in order to show the virtue of the father. Li Yuan heard that Dou Jiande was going to be buried in his hometown in Beizhou, and he was going to bury Shan Xiongxin. His face became a little gloomy - 'Huh! Dou Jiande, who is not able to measure himself, vainly tries to block the car with his mantis arm and resist the army of my Li Tang Heavenly Dynasty, and now he even wants me to bury it in his hometown in Beizhou, and Shan Xiongxin, the anti-thief, who fought against me, is also a man who is beyond his strength. Really. At the beginning, Wei Chuhui was locked up when Li Yuan ordered a war with Dou Jiande, and after Dou Jiande was beheaded, he also went underground with Dou Jiande to meet together. After victory after victory, Li Yuan's self-confidence swelled more and more, and he began to look down on the leaders of the separatist forces who were originally on an equal footing with him. Li Yuan didn't speak, Li Shimin watched Li Jiancheng's jokes on the side, Li Yuanba was drinking on the side, and Li Yuanji secretly sweated for Li Jiancheng.

"Prince, tell me your reasons?"

"Father! At the beginning, Yang Guang lost his morality, but he was still the emperor, Yu Wenhua and even killed the monarch with his ministers, Dou Jiande will Yu Wenhua and kill him, in order to thank the world, this is a great achievement, although Shan Xiongxin resisted my Tang army, but vowed not to rebel against Wang Shichong, these two are loyal ministers, please bury your father, in order to show the loyalty of the world. Li Yuan listened to Li Jiancheng's words, and his heart was not very comfortable-they are loyal ministers, so what am I? Rebels and thieves? However, what Li Jiancheng said is not wrong, although at the time of the founding of the country, people like Dou Jiande and Shan Xiongxin were the sworn enemies of the founding emperor, but after the establishment of the dynasty was confirmed to be orthodox, later emperors would reward this kind of original enemy, but I am the emperor. Li Yuan stared at Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanji all looked at Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng nervously, but the scene expected by the three brothers did not appear, and Li Yuan said in a low voice:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable, Dou Jiande's funeral, the prince will help take care of it!" Li Jiancheng nodded in gratitude. Li Yuan issued several holy decrees - Fengtian transport, and the emperor said: Order the king of Qin to conquer Luoyang and give the Son of Heaven a banner. The governor of the Qin Palace, Shi Changsun Wuji, shared worries for the country, was not afraid of hardships and dangers, went deep into the dangerous places, sealed Zhao Guogong, Youzhou Governor Luo Yi took the lead, pacified Qilu, gave Luo Yi the surname Li, Feng Yan County Wang, the general manager of Youzhou, and the general leader of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. Luo Shixin is the prince of Yanshan County, and he opened the three divisions of the same government. Fang Xuanling is the history of Cangzhou thorns, and Du Ruhui is the history of Yunzhou thorns. Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, and Xue Wanjun are all county dukes, Xue Wanche has meritorious service on the battlefield, and he is named the captain of the horse and marries the princess of Danyang. Li Jing ran thousands of miles, robbed the enemy's grain and grass, and sealed the county of Kaiguo. Xu Jingzong, Di Zhixun, Di Renjie, Wei Zheng and others were added to the two ranks. Xue Li, Xiong Kuohai, Xu Kuoling, Feng Yi and others were all added to the first rank. Chin this.

In the palace of King Qin, King Li Shimin of Qin and his eldest grandson Wuji toasted each other and said:

"Congratulations to King Qin for getting the Son of Heaven banner."

"Congratulations also on the auxiliary machine, you have to be crowned Zhao Guogong!"

"Where, where! This is all the promotion and kindness of His Royal Highness King Qin! ”

"Ugh! Auxiliary, you're wrong, it's not my grace, it's all the grace of my father! ”

"His Royal Highness King Qin, there are exactly two things that must be done now, if these two things are done well, it will be just right for His Royal Highness King Qin to win people's attention!"

"Auxiliary! You said! ”

"First, Luoyang is already in your hands, so make good use of it. That Wang Shichong and his relatives plundered Luoyang, the major clans in Luoyang lost heavy losses, and when the prince arrived in Luoyang, he could return these properties to them, and then make up for it, second, Wang Shichong and his clan relatives were all imprisoned in Chang'an Heavenly Prison, they should be allowed to go to Bashu immediately, and then let Dugu Xiude go to avenge his father, once Dugu Xiude avenged successfully, then His Royal Highness will come out, so that His Royal Highness King Qin will attract people's attention! Li Shimin nodded.

"Auxiliary! Three days later, Wang Shichong and all of Wang Shichong's relatives will be escorted to Bashu, and then the matter will be handed over to you! You go and inform Dugu Xiude, what to do is his business, tell Dugu Xiude, when the time comes, any consequences will be borne by the king for him, as for the matter of Luoyang's land division, after the king of Lone returns to Luoyang, he will arrange it in person. ”

"Yes! King Qin! Just when King Qin and the eldest grandson Wuji were discussing, Li Jiancheng also came to Li Yuan's bedroom:

"Hmmm! It was completed, how about Dou Jiande's burial. ”

"Qi Father, Erchen sent someone to take Dou Jiande's head to Beizhou, and also asked a skilled craftsman to carve a body out of wood and bury it with Dou Jiande."

"Hmmm! Is there anything else you have to do? ”

"Enlighten my father, my son is here because there is another important matter to report to my father:"

"Speak!"

"Erchen sent Di Renjie and Xiong Kuohai to the Turks, and Yi Nan, the great leader of the Turkic Xue Yantuo, has already sent people, intending to join forces with us Li Tang to deal with the Turkic Lili Khan together. Erchen felt that this matter was very important, so during today's banquet, Erchen did not dare to say it, so he only came to report to his father in the evening. ”

"Oh! What about people!? Built, are you sure it's Xue Yantuo's people? ”

"Yes, Erchen can be sure that this person is the confidant wizard of the Great Leader of Xue Yantuo. Moreover, Xue Yantuo, the great leader of the tribe, was extremely ambitious, and rebelled many times when the Turks were strong and when the Turks were divided. Erchen thought that when our dynasty unified the Central Plains, there would definitely be another war with the Turks, and at that time, Xue Yantuo would be the nail we secretly inserted in the Turks. After Li Yuan heard Li Jiancheng's words, he grabbed Li Jiancheng's hand and said happily:

"Good! Built, you've done a good job! In this battle of Luoyang, I didn't reward you well, now tell me, what reward do you want! Li Jiancheng said:

"Father Qi, the son thinks that the land of Luoyang is dangerous, and it may not be appropriate to rely on the second brother to stay behind, and if there were no two generals, Qu Tutong and Xu Shiji, who were guarding Tongguan, Wang Shichong's thief army would have been close to Guanzhong."

"Hmmm! Built, you are right, I will make an order to seal Qu Tutong as the Duke of Jiang. General Xu Shiji also gave Li the surname and added a knighthood......" Li Jiancheng hurriedly said to Li Yuan:

"Father, the son thinks that in addition to adding officials to the two generals Qu Tutong and Xu Shiji, it is best to promote the official positions of Qu Tutong and Xu Shiji. Erchen asked for a decree, and Qu Tutong was crowned as the secretary of the military department, Luoyang stayed behind, and guarded Luoyang with his second brother, in addition, the defense of Tongguan was very important, and the position left by General Qu Tutong was promoted by General Xu Shiji! Li Jiancheng was talking, and suddenly found that Li Yuan did not speak:

"Ahh The son is guilty of a capital offense. ”

"Built! What are you guilty of? ”

"The retainers have committed the crime of trespassing! Please punish the Emperor! ”

"Built! Can't you live in peace with the people? Li Jiancheng raised his head and saw a few tears in Li Yuan's eyes:

"Father, the son can only say one thing to you, since ancient times, a prince who doesn't want to be a prince is not a good prince, as long as he is born in the royal family, as long as he is a prince, he will stare at that position, and he will have the ambition to govern the world. And if the son wants to save his life, he must contain his younger brother. Li Yuan was silent for a while:

"Alright! Built, now that you already know your mistake in your heart, go back to your East Palace and copy the Book of Filial Piety! After Li Jiancheng left, Li Yuan's heart has always echoed Li Jiancheng's words - since ancient times, a prince who does not want to be a prince is not a good prince, as long as he is born in the royal family, as long as he is a prince, he will stare at that position, and he will have the ambition to govern the world. And if the son wants to save his life, he must contain his younger brother. In history, in all dynasties, if the emperor can't suppress the ministers under him, the ministers will usurp the throne, and if the crown prince can't suppress the other brothers, then the other brothers will take the heir. The bloody storm of the struggle for royal power is not uncommon in history, and Li Yuan deliberately suppressed Li Jiancheng because he was afraid that Li Jiancheng's power would threaten him too much. Li Yuan said to himself: 'Li Jiancheng, this kid still listens sincerely to me, he is right, as long as he is a prince, he will keep an eye on that position, and he will have the determination to govern the world, and I am not bewitched by power, but when I sit in this position, I realize what a lonely position this is! Early the next morning, another decree came from the palace:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that Luoyang is the capital of the former Sui Emperor, although I sent the King of Qin to guard it, I have something to think about, and the King of Qin is not slacking. Today, the general of Tongguan to stay in Tongguan was transferred to Luoyang to stay behind, and the military department was still in the book, assisting the King of Qin in handling Luoyang civil affairs, so that the seven kings of the Western Han Dynasty were in turmoil, and the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty were in turmoil, all because of the feudal king's army, so Qu Tutong was ordered to take charge of Luoyang soldiers and horses. The order left in Tongguan was left behind, and Xu Shiji, the deputy left-behind, took over, and he admired this! After Li Shimin received this holy decree, he learned the reason through the waning moon of the decree, and scolded Li Jiancheng:

"Bastard, Li Jiancheng, you wait for me." Li Shimin immediately found the eldest grandson Wuji and said to the eldest grandson Wuji:

"Auxiliary, Li Jiancheng dared to tie a chain to this king, and sent Qu Tutong to be transferred to Luoyang to stay behind, add the military department to Shangshu, assist King Qin in handling Luoyang civil affairs, and take charge of Luoyang soldiers and horses! If Luoyang soldiers and horses are to be mobilized, they must be attached to Qu Tutong before they can take effect! In other words, if this king wants to mobilize troops and horses, he must also get his consent to Qu Tutong! After the eldest grandson Wuji waited for Li Shimin to calm down, he patiently comforted Li Shimin:

"Your Highness, this matter is actually not difficult!"

"Oh! Auxiliary, what do you have a plan! ”

"Your Highness, Qu Tutong's position is very unfirm, and he is even a little atrophied. As long as His Royal Highness also gives Qu Tutong a share when distributing the property in Luoyang, Qu Tutong is difficult to distinguish, and His Royal Highness will use this as a threat at that time, I believe that Qu Tutong will definitely turn a blind eye and close one eye to His Highness's affairs. Moreover, all the generals under His Royal Highness have followed His Royal Highness for many years, and after arriving in Luoyang, His Royal Highness is encircling them more, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness the Prince's move will be useless. Li Jiancheng looked at the eldest grandson Wuji appreciatively and praised:

"Auxiliary! That's a great idea! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment!" Li Shimin still frowned a little:

"Auxiliary! Although your strategy is wonderful, Li Jiancheng is calculating the lonely king like this, and the lonely king doesn't want to breathe like this in his heart! The eldest grandson Wuji smiled:

"Your Highness, this matter is easy to do! Don't we still have the move of Dugu Xiude! Beichen immediately went to find Dugu Xiude, and asked Dugu Xiude to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately, and said that we are soft-spoken, His Royal Highness the Prince is loyal, more popular, and better communication with the emperor, besides, His Royal Highness the Prince's concubine is Rongyang Zheng's family, and the side concubine is Yang's, Wang Shichong destroyed the ancestral industry of Rongyang Zheng's ancestral hall and killed Emperor Sui Gong Yang Tong, both of whom are Wang Shichong's enemies! As long as Wang Shichong dies, we spread the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is jealous of the prince's capture of Luoyang, and kills Wang Shichong and the whole family to vent his anger, which is just a blow to the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince. After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded.

"What a brilliant plan."
