Li Jiancheng was thinking about how to report the news of Dugu Huaien's rebellion to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan had already sent someone to summon Li Jiancheng:

"Report to His Royal Highness the Prince! The emperor sent the father-in-law of the waning moon to deliver the decree. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 When Li Jiancheng heard this, he immediately came out to greet him.

"Oops! It's the father-in-law of the waning moon! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Father-in-law of the waning moon! Your Majesty, please! ”

"Oh! I don't know what important things my father is looking for in this palace? Li Jiancheng asked Father-in-law Wanyue, and at the same time glanced at Xue Li beside him, Xue Li understood what Li Jiancheng meant, and immediately turned around, and after a while, Xue Li had an extra plate of silver in his hand.

"Father-in-law! This is a little meaning, please accept it from your father-in-law. "Wanyue has always known that Li Jiancheng is generous to the palace servants, and coupled with presiding over the sales and production of snow sugar, Li Jiancheng has become the richest person in the Li Tang clan's royal family.

"Ouch! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really gracious! Wanyue unceremoniously asked his eunuchs to take the plate of silver.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, our family really doesn't know what His Majesty is looking for you, but when I came, our family saw Lord Dugu Huai'en, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing else to do, our family will go to the Qin Palace, the Qi Palace, and the decree, so we will leave first. Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to change his clothes quickly, the emperor is waiting in a hurry! "As an internal servant, Wanyue often accepts bribes from the Li Tang clan and court officials, and often reveals and writes news to them, but not all news will be revealed, and not all secrets are known to Wanyue. Li Jiancheng put on the prince's legal uniform full of suspicion, and under the escort of Xue Li, Xue Wanjun and others, he came to the Taiji Hall where Li Yuan lived. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Li Yuan sitting on a chair, and Dugu Huaien knelt in front of Li Yuan with tears on his face.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Built! You're here, Wynne! Hurry up, it's not good to kneel like this! ”

"Your Majesty! Weichen ...... "Li Yuan helped Dugu Huaien up:

"Get up! Come on, hurry up and move a chair for Lord Dugu and give him a seat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Dugu Huaien sat down, Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng again:

"It's done! When Shimin Yuanji comes, I have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

"Yes! Sons obey! After Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, arrived, Li Yuan spoke:

"Dugu Huai'en! Tell me what you just said to my three sons. Dugu Huaien nodded, and after saluting the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, Shanshan said, through Dugu Huaien's words, the three brothers Li Jiancheng slowly knew what was going on?

"The criminal minister was defeated, and he failed to serve Li Tang on the battlefield like General Li Xiaoji, which is really a capital crime!" Li Yuan said impatiently:

"Dugu Huai'en! Pick up the key and put the irrelevant things aside. Dugu Huaien nodded to Li Yuan and said:

"Yes! Obey the Emperor's holy orders! Dugu Huaien continued:

"During my detention, Liu Wuzhou sent someone to find me quietly, hoping that as a relative of Li Tang, as a special envoy, he would complain to the emperor that he could reconcile with my dynasty and live together! It is better to be able to draw the Yellow River as the boundary. Before Dugu Huaien finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yuanji:

"What? Liu Wuzhou hopes to coexist with our DPRK and also wants to draw the Yellow River as the boundary, how is it possible? What I, Datang, has always pursued is to unify the world. He Liu Wuzhou still wants to take one side of the other, which is simply naïve. Besides, it turned out that he Liu Wuzhou seized my Hedong territory and killed my Tang army soldiers, but this king hasn't settled accounts with him! Now you want to make peace with us, delusional. "Li Yuanji has always held a grudge against Liu Wuzhou for seizing the territory, and Li Yuanji was removed from his position as a general by Li Yuan and placed under house arrest in the palace, which also made him a veritable straw bag in the Li Tang clan, of course, Li Yuanji is the prince after all, no one dares to say it to his face, Li Yuanji has been looking for an opportunity to wash away his shame, if Liu Wuzhou wants to make peace, then Li Yuanji will not have the opportunity to take revenge? Naturally, I will not agree. Li Jiancheng comforted Li Yuanji on the side, and motioned to Dugu Huaien to continue, Dugu Huaien wiped the sweat on his forehead:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, of course Weichen will not agree, so he has been prevaricating, Liu Wuzhou finally became angry and wanted to kill the minister, fortunately, the emperor sent Yuwen Changying to come to the rescue, and the minister immediately said to Liu Wuzhou, Liu Wuzhou, you want to reconcile and coexist with the emperor, and Weichen is the emperor's maternal relative, if you kill Weichen, then you will directly declare war on Li Tang. You Liu Wuzhou will not have a chance to understand with Your Majesty. Liu Wuzhou just let go of Weichen! Let Weichen return to Chang'an. ”

"Humph! Count him Liu Wuzhou smart, if Liu Wuzhou dares to kill you, I, Li Yuanji, will definitely lead the troops again and crusade against Liu Wuzhou. Except for Li Jiancheng, who looked at Li Yuanji in isolation, the rest of the people were either not at ease, or stared at Li Yuanji as if they were looking at a clown. Dugu Wynn continued:

"The point of what Weichen wants to say is not here, mainly in the back." As soon as he heard that Dugu Huaien was going to say some important points, Li Jiancheng pressed Li Yuanji's shoulder and asked Li Yuanji not to speak anymore, on the one hand, he wanted Dugu Huaien to continue, and on the other hand, since Dugu Huaien had already said that he would meet Liu Wuzhou privately, then Li Jiancheng wanted to see what Dugu Huaien would say next?

"When Weichen and Lord Yuwen Changying, Lord Liu Shirang, Lord Yu Yun, and Lord Tang Jian passed through Mayi, the guard of Mayi, King Lu Chongmao of Wei, sent Wei Wang to discuss with Weichen, hoping to join forces with us Li Tang. Eliminate Liu Wuzhou together. ”

"Hmmm! Isn't this Lu Chongmao wearing a pair of pants with Liu Wuzhou? Why is it asking us again? Li Yuan first smiled, and Dugu Huaien explained:

"Your Majesty, according to what Lu Chongmao said to his ministers, that Liu Wuzhou later expropriated in Xia County, and in that salt famine incident, among the thousands of catties of pig iron extorted by Zuo Youxian, there were 1,000 catties of pig iron in Xia County, and the salt exchanged for this thousand catties of pig iron was also mixed with a large amount of Guanyin soil, which caused the dissatisfaction of Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue. Therefore, the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue hope to return to Li Tang again, and also hope that the emperor can pardon Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue for their original crimes! Li Yuan listened to Dugu Huaien's words and said to the three brothers Li Jiancheng:

"Jiancheng, Shimin, Yuanji, what do you think?"

As soon as he heard that Lu Chongmao wanted to return to Li Tang, and also hoped that Li Yuan would pardon the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, Li Yuanji was the first to disagree:

"Father, no, then Lu Chongmao is a capricious villain thief, that day it was because of Lu Chongmao's rebellion in Xia County, so that we were attacked before and after, how could Liu Wuzhou drive his sons out of Hedong, so the sons thought that we must not accept the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, on the contrary, when attacking Liu Wuzhou again, we must also destroy the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue." Li Shimin also added fuel to the fire:

"Father, the son thinks that what the fourth brother said is very true, that Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue are capricious villains, we not only have to find Liu Wuzhou to report the revenge of Li Xiaoji's younger brother, and hate the fourth brother Li Yuanji, but also bloody Xia County when necessary, so that all the people in the world who are watching know that we Li Tang is not easy to mess with. Whoever dares to betray us Li Tang will have to pay it back with blood. Listening to Li Shimin's murderous words, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but think of the historical record of Lu Chongmao's ending - Yu Chi Jingde led troops to help Lu Chongmao defend Xia County, and Tang Gaozu secretly sent someone to pardon Lu Chongmao's crimes, worship him as the assassin of Xia Zhou, and let him get rid of Yu Chi Jingde. After the incident, Wei Chi Jingde killed Lu Chongmao and left Xia County. The rest of Lu Chongmao's troops refused to defend according to Xia County. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, pacified Liu Wuzhou, subdued Wei Chi Jingde, and led the army back from Jinzhou to attack Xia County, and on the twenty-fourth day of May, he was slaughtered. Li Yuan kept seeing that Li Jiancheng didn't speak, so he asked Li Jiancheng:

"Built! You are the crown prince, why don't you say a word about this military event? Li Jiancheng said softly:

"Father! Erchen thought that this matter still needed to be considered in the long run, and it was also necessary to send people to the area of Mayi to find out the news. Li Yuan nodded and praised Li Jiancheng:

"The prince is in the old city! Not bad! Li Shimin went on to say:

"Father, the son thinks that the fourth brother will be the commander of the crusade against Ma Yi at that time! As the saying goes, where you fall, you get up! Li Yuan asked like Li Jiancheng again:

"What does the prince think?" Li Jiancheng said in his heart - you Li Shimin is really poisonous enough, if this palace and you Li Shimin recommend Li Yuanji together, and you are very likely to know that Dugu Huaien has rebelled, and then Dugu Huaien stabs him in the back again, Li Yuanji will be doomed, and you Li Shimin will also cut off the arm of the palace with his own hands, and if the palace refuses, it will open a rift between the prince and Li Yuanji, and it will be a serial plan. Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin, and saw Li Yuanji's eager eyes, slowly meeting Li Yuan's gaze.

"Father, the son thinks that the candidate for the coach is ......" Li Yuanji's eyes were even more earnest, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin were also waiting for Li Jiancheng's answer:

"Erchen thinks that the fourth brother is indeed a suitable candidate, but all actions must be sent to Mayi to inquire first, and then make a decision." Li Yuan played on the spot. After Li Yuanji returned to the mansion, Xue Wanche came to Li Yuanji:

"Lord Wang, have you won it?"

"Needless to say!"

"Good! Then it's up to us to do the big thing. Xue Wanche has been uncomfortable in his heart since he was defeated by Li Jiancheng's subordinates, and Li Yuanji also held his breath in his heart and wanted to spit it out. After Dugu Huaien came out of the palace, he kept thinking about Dugu Entai's words in his ear:

"Lord Dugu, if you want to gain Li Yuan's trust from the new, you must first tell us about the things that we have won you over, because when you were in Chang'an, you once saw Tang Jian entering and leaving the East Palace of King Qin and His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid it will not be good for you, so I am afraid that your affairs in Mayi can no longer be hidden, second, since my family saint has long known that your Lord Dugu was related to the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue when he passed through Xia County, it is better to get out of it all and make a decision." Now, Dugu Huaien feels more and more that this matter may be difficult to be good. Thinking of this, Dugu Huaien sighed softly.
