Chapter 311: Brother's Responsibility
Outside Chang'an City, sporadic light snow has been falling non-stop, a middle-aged man with a resolute face rode in front, next to a heroic young man riding with him, and behind them, followed by a long guard, there are several horses in front of the road, just from this pomp, you can know that they are definitely not ordinary people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Fourth brother, how is the army mobilized?" At this moment, I saw that the middle-aged man in his thirties in front of him suddenly spoke, and at the same time tightened the fur on his body, this middle-aged man with a resolute face was Li Shimin, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the heroic young man next to him was naturally Li Yuanji, the king of Qi who was now in the limelight in Chang'an City.
"Big brother, don't worry, all the generals over there in Tiance Mansion have been drawn out by me, although some people are unwilling to make trouble, but it's not a big problem, in a few days, when the materials are mobilized, I can lead the army north, as long as I leave Chang'an, see how I clean them up!"
When Li Yuanji said the end, his face also showed a little ruthless, almost all the generals of Tiance Mansion were loyal to Li Shimin, and they didn't make trouble for him in the past few days, but now is not the time to clean them up, but when he leaves Chang'an City, the life and death of these people are all in his hands.
"Fourth brother, most of the generals of Tiance Mansion are the pillars of the army, and they have also made flammable and outstanding military exploits for the Tang Dynasty in the past, so if you can fight for it, you should try your best to fight for it, money, women, and official positions are not a problem, as long as they are willing to submit, of course, if the other party is really stubborn, then you don't have to be polite!" Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment and finally spoke, when he said the end, there was also a bit of murder in his tone, if he couldn't use it for himself, no matter how big his skills were, he would only add more trouble to himself, so it was better to deal with it as soon as possible!
"Big brother, don't worry, I have secretly sent people to contact those people under the second brother, some of them have loosened their attitudes a little, as long as they add some chips, it is estimated that these people should be able to understand current affairs, but there are also some people who are very stubborn, such as Wei Chigong, this guy is a stone in the pit, and everything he sent was thrown out by him, and every time he sees him in the barracks, this guy is extremely arrogant, and he doesn't even say a word!" When Li Yuanji mentioned Wei Chigong, he also had an expression of hatred, that is, he couldn't beat the other party, otherwise he would have killed him with a sword.
"Wei Chigong is just a reckless man, fourth brother, don't worry too much about him, and don't compete with him anymore, so as not to hurt yourself!" Li Jiancheng said with some concern when he heard this.
Li Yuanji is good at everything, although he is a little arrogant, but he is usually very clever, but there is only one weakness, that is, he cares very much about his own bravery, and desperately wants to defeat other generals, especially since he lost to Wei Chigong last time, he is bent on winning back a game, and often finds Yu Chigong to compete, but every time he is defeated.
Hearing the persuasion of the eldest brother, Li Yuanji finally calmed down, speaking of which he is now much more mature and stable, after all, people will grow, but soon he gritted his teeth and said: "Big brother, in fact, Wei Chigong is not bad, at least he is determined to follow the second brother, in contrast, Cheng Yanjin is a scoundrel bastard, no matter how many things he sends, he accepts it with a smile, but in the blink of an eye, he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, I have never seen a person who is brazen!" ”
"Cheng Biting Jin?" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but repeat Cheng Biting Jin's name softly when he heard this, and his face also showed a complicated look, and after a while, he spoke, "Cheng Biting Jin is indeed much more difficult than Wei Chigong, and he is the real henchman of the second brother, among the generals, he even surpasses Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, if this person can fight for it, there is almost no need to worry about the possibility of the second brother turning over, but in my estimation, this possibility is very small, so if it really doesn't work, the fourth brother will find a reason to dispose of him!" ”
"Don't worry, big brother, I understand!" Li Yuanji couldn't help but show an excited expression when he heard his eldest brother's words, he had long been unhappy with Cheng Biting Jin, especially the countless beauties and money sent over, but Cheng Biting Jin only accepted gifts and did not express his attitude, which made her hate him for a long time and wanted to kill him with her own hands.
However, after the excitement, Li Yuanji suddenly looked up at Li Jiancheng again, and said solemnly: "Big brother, no matter how noisy Cheng Biting Jin is, the key lies in the second brother, if you want me to say big brother, don't be too soft-hearted, as long as you get rid of the second brother, Cheng Biting Jin and those people will have no backbone, I'm afraid we don't have to do anything, they will be honest immediately!" ”
It is not the first time that Li Yuanji has persuaded Li Jiancheng in this way, especially after seizing the military power, he has been persuading Li Jiancheng not to be soft-hearted, and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the solution to the problem completely, but Li Jiancheng is very disgusted with this matter, no matter how he suppressed Li Shimin before, it was no problem, and even the two brothers looked like enemies when they met, but if he really let him kill Li Shimin's younger brother, he couldn't do it anyway.
"Fourth brother, don't say it, I will never agree to this matter, and don't do anything in secret!" I saw Li Jiancheng shake his head firmly at this time and said, every time he mentioned this matter in the past, he would loudly scold Li Yuanji, but now that there are more times, he is too lazy to lose his temper anymore.
"Big brother~, you ...... You are simply a woman's kindness, and you may have a big mess in the future! Li Yuanji said quickly with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, he really couldn't understand why the eldest brother, who had always been resolute, had been unable to make up his mind in this matter, and even accused the eldest brother he had always respected very rarely.
Hearing these accusations from his younger brother, he saw Li Jiancheng laughing helplessly, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Fourth brother, there are some things you don't understand, don't say anything else, when your mother died, you and your second brother were not very old, and I am already an adult, until now I still remember that when my mother was dying, she still held my hand, and kept talking about letting my eldest brother take care of you and the second brother, and let your third sister marry a good mother-in-law." ”
When mentioning his mother, Li Jiancheng's eyes were also red at this time, and he took a long breath before he said again: "But I didn't do a good job of what my mother told me before she died, and I won't talk about your third sister's marriage, if it weren't for Li Xiu's appearance, I'm afraid your third sister would have lived in pain for the rest of her life, and the second brother has been very assertive since he was a child, and we used to get along well, but later because of the matter of the throne, he almost became an enemy!" ”
"Big brother! You can't be blamed for the third sister's affairs, but you can only blame it on current affairs, as for the second brother, he was already very ambitious, and even wanted to grab the position of the prince that originally belonged to you, so the eldest brother was just forced to protect himself! When Li Yuanji heard Li Jiancheng's words, he also became very excited, his eldest brother is like a father in his heart, and Li Jiancheng has always been his best brother, which is why he has always been determined to support Li Jiancheng.
"Having said that, if I, the eldest brother, could do more things, maybe I could change a lot of things, so every year on my mother's sacrifice day, I feel very guilty in my heart, and I feel that I have failed my mother's original request." When he said this, he saw Li Jiancheng take a long breath again, his eyes were also very red, and after a while, he said again, "I'm not a good brother anymore, but no matter what, I can't do anything like fratricidal, otherwise I won't have the face to see my mother under Jiuquan in the future!" ”
Li Yuanji also heard Li Jiancheng say these words for the first time, and he was silent for a long time, among the siblings of his mother, he was the youngest, and his brother and sister took care of him since he was a child, so he has never been able to understand the responsibility of Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother, but now he finally understands something.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, it's best if your second brother really gives up his military power, if he is still unwilling, then we can only make more preparations, it's interesting to say, during this time, he actually went to Li Xiu every day, we just happened to go and see him in person!" After a long while, Li Jiancheng suddenly smiled reluctantly.
The reason why he and Li Yuanji went out of the city was actually only one purpose, that is, to see Li Shimin after giving up his military power in the name of visiting Li Xiu, and to see if he really gave up the battle for the throne? Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng coincided with Li Xiu, and they didn't believe that Li Shimin would give up so easily.
Li Xiu didn't know that Li Jiancheng's brothers were coming to his home, and today Li Shimin still brought Li Chengqian to class, even the light snow in the air didn't stop their arrival, but Li Xiu didn't let the children have boring classes in the living room, but gave each of them a magnifying glass to let them observe the snowflakes falling in the air, which is also a very interesting subject.
Li Shimin was also very interested in observing the snowflakes on his body with a magnifying glass, and finally said in surprise: "It turns out that the snow falling from the sky is like this, no wonder you keep calling them snowflakes, they do look like small white flowers!" ”
"Hehe, in fact, what our eyes can see is very limited, if we can make a microscope, so as to magnify something ten million times, Your Highness will see a completely different world, just like the Buddha said, a flower and a world, a grass and a Bodhi, even if it is a drop of water, in fact, it contains countless lives!"
"If that's the case, then the world is amazing!" Li Shimin said with emotion at this time, this period of studying with Li Xiu almost opened the door to a new world for him, and he found for the first time that his understanding of the world he was in was very limited, and it could even be called shallow.
"Okay, don't talk, the hot pot is ready, just wait for a few of you to come back and eat!" At this moment, he suddenly heard a crisp voice, and when Li Xiu turned his head, he saw Princess Pingyang standing in front of the hall with a smile. (To be continued.) )
