Chapter 125: Li Jiancheng's sense of crisis

After Li Yuan broke through Huoyi, he held a feast in the Huoyi official office to celebrate the achievements of Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and Liu Hongji, at the banquet, Li Shimin seemed to have become the protagonist of the banquet, Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Wenjing and others complimented Li Shimin, and other Huoyi officials also flattered the eldest grandson Wuji. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Yuanba has a lonely personality and doesn't like crowded places, so he found a remote location to drink and eat, Pei Lin came to Li Jiancheng's brother's side:

"The second son has been in the limelight recently, but it's nothing, young man! It's understandable to be arrogant. Li Jiancheng's eyes have not left the eldest grandson Wuji, when entering the city, Li Yuan told him that before the attack on Huoyi, the eldest grandson Wuji had already disguised himself, entered Huoyi in civilian clothing, and bribed the servants who served in the Huoyi official office, and understood the temperament and hobbies of the rest of the generals except Song Laosheng, Li Yuan followed Li Shimin's strategy, and retreated for thirty miles in a row for three days, and the eldest grandson Wuji secretly linked according to the materials he mastered, and suddenly struck a blow when Song Laosheng left the city, and quickly took Huoyi into his own hands. When Song Laosheng returned to the city, he was obviously persuasive, but secretly forced him to commit suicide, so as to eliminate the aftermath of Song Laosheng's rebellion in the future. If it is placed in the future generations, it will definitely be the material of a spy leader. No wonder during the Tang Gaozong period, Li Yifu secretly indulged beautiful women on death row as concubines, and forced officials to commit suicide, but he didn't expect it to reach the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji in less than a day. It proves that the eldest grandson Wuji must be in control of a secret spy force in his hands. Moreover, the Changsun clan is the descendant of the Yuan clan of the former Northern Wei Dynasty, and has a very strong appeal in the Guanlong aristocratic circle, Changsun Sheng was recognized as the first general in the Sui Dynasty when he was alive, and had a large number of admirers in the military, which became a powerful boost for Li Shimin to kill Li Jiancheng to become the crown prince, and forced Li Yuan to abdicate and ascend the throne immediately after receiving the support and recognition of the Guanlong nobles. And it is precisely because of these factors that may endanger the imperial power of the Li family that Li Shimin has been suppressing the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Shunde after ascending the throne, especially after hearing that the eldest grandson Shunde was assassinated in the local history of embezzlement of silk silks, not only did he not have any punishment, but also in front of hundreds of officials in the court, in the name of the lack of silk silks in the eldest grandson Shunde's family, he gave dozens of horses in court, so that he himself carried these silk silks all the way to promote the emperor's grace to humiliate and blow the prestige of the eldest grandson family, and it has been recorded many times in history that Li Shimin revealed that he wanted the eldest grandson Wuji to be the prime minister, It should be a temptation for the eldest grandson family, the eldest grandson Wuji shirked many times, and let the eldest grandson Wuji resign on the grounds that his brother did not have much talent, which should be the self-protection measures taken by the eldest grandson Wujian to be aware of Li Shimin's thoughts, and Li Shimin did not approve it, it should be afraid that the power pattern of the imperial court will change, and it is also to take care of his relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji, but in the middle and late stages of Zhenguan, Li Shimin has repeatedly abolished the position of the eldest grandson Wujian Empress, and after the death of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin to Wu King Li Ke's mother Yang is dignified and virtuous, Wu King Li Ke is heroic and martial in the name of me, hoping to change the Yang family as the queen, Li Ke as the crown prince, in the eldest grandson Wuji's efforts did not succeed, this should be the eldest grandson Wuji's power should have seriously threatened Li Tang's imperial power, and the contradiction between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji has reached a particularly sharp, irreconcilable level, in order to completely get rid of the eldest grandson Wuji's control over Li Tang's harem and the future emperor, Li Shimin made that kind of drastic move, but in the end, Because he was afraid that the power of the eldest grandson Wuji was already unshakable, and if he acted might shake the foundation of the dynasty, Li Shimin still maintained considerable restraint.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, the eldest grandson Wuji's killing of Li Ke and the second generation of officials who were killed with Li Ke should be Li Shimin's instructions to their Lao Tzu in order to balance the situation, and consciously let those second generations of officials make friends with Li Ke to counter the power of the eldest grandson Wuji. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng made some comparisons between himself and Li Shimin:

In terms of background, they are all sons born to Mrs. Dou, he is only a few years older than Li Shimin, and he is a long-term leader, but there are many things in history that have abolished the elder and the young, and he does not have any advantages. From the attitude of Duan Zhixuan, Yin Kaishan, and others toward Li Shimin at the banquet today, it can be seen that the generals of the Jinyang base camp must have a great friendship with Li Shimin. And on his side, except for a civil official Pei Lian, there is no military general by his side, the majestic sea is more than brave, the qualifications and wit are insufficient, Chai Jie's martial arts are acceptable, good at financial management, may be due to the influence of his life experience since childhood, he treats the sergeants more than benevolently, and is not ruthless enough, Huang Wenqing and Di Zhixun are scheming, they are all prime ministers, but they are not good generals, Di Renjie, Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang are still young and not enough to succeed. Wu Shiyan was a centrist, otherwise he would not have put Li Shimin in a local position after he ascended the throne, not in the center. I must not lose, I must step up the infiltration in the direction of the army in the future, and I can't let Li Shimin show off anymore, I must make meritorious contributions, share with him equally, and also set up a special force, a great man in later generations once said that the agent is like a dagger placed in the dark, polish it, he will be more lethal than the sword in his hand. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng picked up the wine glass and walked towards Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji:

"Second brother, Wuji, it's really gratifying to see you grow up like this today, come, I toast you two with a cup."

"Thank you, big brother." Li Shimin drank the wine given to him by Li Jiancheng heartily.

"Thank you, eldest son! These are just the things that are not taboo. Eldest Sun Wuji didn't have any expression on his face. Neither humble nor arrogant. But Li Jiancheng clearly felt a cold aura enveloping around Eldest Sun Wuji.

"Oh! All right! Second brother can have a helper like you, it's really gratifying! "The look on Li Shimin's face after hearing it was even more indifferent, but the eldest grandson Wuji was still so indifferent, and Li Jiancheng secretly applauded him." Compared to my younger brother, your eldest grandson Wuji is a thousand times stronger than him. ’

There will always be opportunities, when Li Jiancheng was planning how to strengthen his position and seek to capture Tongguan, Li Tang's army ran out of food, because Song Laosheng was afraid that Li Yuan would get grain and grass after capturing Huoyi, and he would waste it when he was guarding Huoyi, so Huoyi's grain storage was not much. In addition to writing a letter asking Li Yuanji, who stayed in Taiyuan, to quickly transport some grain and grass, Li Yuan also stepped up contact with Dou Cong, hoping that Dou Cong could persuade Li Xiaochang to return to Shun as soon as possible, so as to resolve the crisis. It just so happened that on the third day of conquering Huoyi, Dou Cong's secret letter came.

"What? Li Xiaochang asked me to go to Yongfengcang to talk to him in person. ”

"Daddy! Li Xiaochang of Yongfeng Cang is often capricious, plus we have just started the army now, and many important military and political affairs need you to deal with them, you can't leave! ”

"Yes! Dad, you must not go! If he detains you, we won't lose more than we gain! As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba immediately objected.

"But it's a fact that our army is short of food and grass! This must be addressed immediately. Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan's anxious expression.

"Daddy! Let me negotiate with Li Xiaochang instead of my father! ”

"Built, are you really sure to solve it?!"

"Father, children are not absolutely sure. But as the eldest son of the family, the child should share the worries of the father, and the child will definitely complete the task well. Li Jiancheng said confidently to Li Yuan, Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and also felt that Li Jiancheng was the most suitable candidate.

"Built, go to Yongfeng, be careful in everything!" Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng emotionally, his heart was full of worry and pity, but he knew that there were some things that he had to know how to choose.

Attached: Historical knowledge, Li Yifu served as the central sheren during the Tang Gaozong period, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, for the eldest grandson Wuji refused to yield to the welcome, at that time, there was a beautiful woman in Luoyang, Chun Yu, because of the murder of her husband and was sentenced to death by the Yamen, Li Yifu saw her young and beautiful, instructed the official Bi Zhengyi of the Dali Temple who was in charge of the care of her to change her verdict to not guilty, placed in his own Luoyang house, was learned by the eldest grandson Wuji, in order to prevent the leakage of the matter, Li Yifu forced Bi Zhengyi to commit suicide, the eldest grandson Wuji refused to give up, Using his power to degrade Li Yifu as a foreign official, Li Yifu was reminded by his friend official Wang Dejian, through Xu Jingzong, who was still Zhaoyi at the time, to meet Wu Zetian, and later contributed to the abolition of Wang Liwu, and became Li Tang's important minister.
