In the Qinwang Mansion in Luoyang, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also knew Li Yuan's intention to conquer Jianghuai through the eyeliner of the inner palace, and immediately brought the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Zhenglun together to discuss:

"Auxiliary, Zhenglun, this king got the news today, and my father has already moved his mind to conquer Jianghuai. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoRecently, I am thinking about this Jianghuai general, and this king feels that he should fight. After hearing Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Zhenglun both pondered for a while. The eldest grandson Wuji spoke first:

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that this matter is probably impossible?"

"Why?" Eldest Sun Wuji's face suddenly became a little bad:

"Your Royal Highness, at the beginning, when Zhang Jieyu's uncle Xue Lin asked Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, for the Xue mansion in Luoyang, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, rejected Xue Lin with your edict first, and the emperor's holy purpose was second. Also, His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the King of Qi burned and looted everywhere in the Qilu area of Hebei, causing the Boling Cui clan and the Qingyang Lu clan to run to Renshou Palace to cry, so ...... "The eldest grandson Wuji's pause, of course Li Shimin knows what the eldest grandson Wuji means - through Li Shimin's doing, Li Yuan is absolutely uncomfortable, even if Li Shimin himself speaks, he will also have some pimples for his son. Also, his own indulgence will burn, kill and loot everywhere in the Qilu area of Hebei, not to mention that the land of those clans is desolate, and even the ancestral graves of others have been dug up for burial goods, provoking the Boling Cui clan and the Qingyang Lu clan to run to Renshou Palace to cry, whenever he thinks of these two things, Li Shimin regrets not being at the beginning-if this king could restrain these people a little.

"In that case, doesn't this king have any chance?" Du Zhenglun said:

"Your Royal Highness, Weichen thinks that we can't fight for this matter, but we can't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get his wish, according to Qilu's eyeliner, His Royal Highness the Prince not only traveled in Qilu, but also accepted Cao Yuyan, the granddaughter of the Cao family of Qilu, as a side concubine, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please return to Beijing immediately, first let Lord Liu Wenjing play the emperor, saying that His Royal Highness the Prince is secretly wooing the Qilu Hebei family, with bad intentions, anyway, let the news out first! At that time, the prince will come forward again to protect the prince of Hejian, in this way, on the one hand, to strengthen the relationship with the prince of Hejian, but also to show the people on the prince's side, and follow the prince to have a future, on the other hand, it is also necessary to prevent His Royal Highness the prince from making military achievements in this last battle. After listening to Du Zhenglun's words, Li Shimin nodded. Li Shimin did what he said, and immediately wrote a secret letter and handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji:

"Auxiliary! You work hard, go to Chang'an, find Lord Liu Wenjing and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, you first say to Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, this time the commander of Jianghuai, this king must help him get this position, and when the time comes, this immortal work will fall on his shoulders. In addition, tell Liu Wenjing that there is a limit to the patience of this king. This is the last chance that this king has given him! Eldest Sun Wuji nodded:

"Yes!" Li Shimin called the eldest grandson Wuji again:

"Auxiliary machine, you wait a minute, after returning to Chang'an, tell Guanyin to let Guanyin take out all the remaining jewels of our Qin Wangfu and give them to the nobles in the palace, so that these nobles can say more good things in the ears of their father, and they must take down the position of the commander of the conquest of Jianghuai to the King of Hejian."

"Yes!" Through the matter of Xue Lin and Huai'an King Li Shentong, Qin King Li Shimin also discovered his weakness in the harem from Li Yuan's attitude towards himself, Zhang Jieyu and Yin Shufei It is impossible for the two of them to form an alliance with themselves, but Li Yuan now has a lot of internal favors, so Li Shimin also took out a lot of jewels collected from the Luoyang Palace and the families of the big families in the north of Qilu River, and let his eldest grandson of the princess go to Li Yuan's harem to bribe those favored palace ladies to ensure that he is in Li Yuan's harem, also eyeliner, when necessary, blow some pillow wind for yourself.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, has been more comfortable recently, because Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, have already secretly sent people to contact him. Recalling the secret visit of the eldest grandson Wuji and Xu Jingzong, the corners of Li Xiaogong's mouth showed a sneer:

"Ahh Lord Changsun, what King Qin brought from Luoyang last time, this king has already received it, I don't know what happened when King Qin sent Lord Changsun to come this time? "The last time Liu Heimin rebelled, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, happened to be sick, so he did not rush to Qilu Hebei to conquer, however, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, did not forget Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and after returning to Luoyang, he sent a large number of property and jewelry and antiques to Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian. Therefore, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, saw the arrival of the eldest grandson Wuji, and naturally knew that it was another opportunity to attract wealth and treasure. The eldest grandson Wuji has always known that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, likes money and beauties, especially the pomp and circumstance of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, in Jingzhou, and he is even more jealous in his heart, so when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, went to the north of Qilu River, in addition to indulging his subordinates to loot, he also participated in the distribution of spoils. Most of the gold and silver goods obtained were also used to win over royal clansmen like Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and the court ladies in Li Yuan's harem. The eldest grandson Wuji smiled:

"The prince of Hejian looks good! Since the prince has made his words clear, then he will not hide it below, according to the eyeliner report of His Royal Highness King Qin in the palace - His Majesty has already moved his mind to Jianghuai, and he is about to raise troops to wave Jianghuai, and this is the position of the commander of Jianghuai......"

"Ahh Please rest assured, Lord Eldest Sun, in front of the Holy Lord, he will ensure that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be the commander of this expedition against Jianghuai! Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head:

"The prince is wrong, in fact, our Royal Highness wants the prince to serve as the chief of the Jianghuai marching road."

"Ahh Let this king serve as the ......" Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, originally thought that the eldest grandson Wuji came to him to let himself come forward and protect the Qin king Li Shimin as the commander of the Jianghuai expedition, who knew that the Qin king Li Shimin wanted to serve himself, thinking of the prosperity of Jianghuai, and the glory of this last battle, when the time came, he could step on the Lujiang king Li Ming from the new feet. However, this matter is very important, Li Jin's heart desperately resisted the temptation and struggled desperately:

"My lord, this matter ......" Li Xiaogong's words stopped immediately, because the eldest grandson Wuji took out a treasure box from the package, and Li Xiaogong knew at a glance that this treasure box was made of Lingnan fragrant wood, which had been mined by the people at that time since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, and it was just such a small wooden box. It is worth a thousand taels of gold, and judging from the pattern and workmanship on it, this is a treasure of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Also, it is inlaid with a large number of gems, jade, jadeite and other things, and the dazzling light has been stinging Li Xiaogong's eyes.

"Lord, this thing is the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu for his wife Yin Lihua made a treasure box, the lower officials heard that the prince's mother is about to die, this treasure will be used as a birthday gift for our prince to the old princess!" (At the beginning, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu in order to win over the powerful forces of Hebei, at the beginning of the throne had to set up the niece of Liu Yang, the king of Zhending in Hebei, Guo Shengtong as the queen, and later, after his throne was stable, he established Yin Lihua as the queen from the new, and in order to express his guilt towards Yin Lihua, he specially ordered the craftsmen of the Western Regions to make a dressing box with fragrant wood from the Southern Dynasty, and inlaid a large number of jewels on it.) When the treasure box was revealed, Li Xiaogong completely let go of resistance:

"Please tell His Royal Highness the King of Qin that the minister will go all out to conquer the position of the commander of Jianghuai!" After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Xiaogong took out the treasure box and watched it carefully, at this time, the porter came to report:

"Lord Qiqi, there is a Qilu merchant outside the door who asks to see you."

"Bastard! When this king is here, any cat or dog dares to come here, and drive him away for this king. The porter agreed, but did not leave:

"What's wrong?"

"Lord Wang! Although that man claimed to be a businessman, but, judging from his temperament, this person was not small, and he was ......."

"And what?"

"And that person said it was a gift for the prince."

"Gift-giving......" Li Xiaogong looked at the concierge's look, and knew that the concierge must have received a lot, as the saying goes, if you don't give gifts when you come to the door, Li Xiaogong has no intention of punishing the concierge.

"Invite that person in!" The porter brought in a slightly chubby old man not long after, Li Xiaogong looked at the person, and then looked at the back:

"Dare to ask sir, what about the gift you gave to this king?" The man smiled.

"Lord Wang, I am here to give gifts to the prince, but this gift is different from others, and I am here to save the prince from a disaster."

"Hmmm! You say that this king is in trouble, what nonsense are you talking about? Li Xiaogong pulled out his saber and put it on the man's neck:

"Tell me, who the hell are you?"

"Huh! Did the prince recently receive a treasure box, this treasure box was made by Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, for his wife Yin Lihua, who knotted his hair, and made a dressing box with fragrant wood from the Southern Dynasty, and inlaid a large number of jewels on it. ”

"Tell me, who the hell are you? What are you doing here? ”

"Huh! Lord, don't you remember? Just a few days ago, the Qingyang Lu clan and the Boling Cui clan attracted a large number of ministers of the clan to cry to the saint in Renshou Palace, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Qin indulged his soldiers and generals and looted everywhere. Does the prince think this thing will still be in the hands of the prince? ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"Below is Xu Jingzong, a subordinate official under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Li Jiancheng, who came to the prince's mansion today in the hope of negotiating a deal with the prince." Li Xiaogong's saber was slowly lowered.
