In order to expand his influence, Li Jiancheng asked the released people to tell each other: "If the wife is obtained, she has been released." This measure has played a role in winning the hearts and minds of the people, breaking the fighting spirit, and has the effect of surrendering the army without a fight. As a result, Liu Heimin's troops "scattered, or tied up their canals to surrender, and then captured Heimin."

This battle greatly enhanced the status of the crown prince, allowing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to fight a turnaround, and Li Yuan admired Li Jiancheng even more; Let Li Shimin have the idea of wanting to go to Luoyang to avoid trouble.

This is the Turks who claim to have a million troops, and often rob in the passes, which Li Yuan is deeply annoyed; Let everyone come up with ideas, let everyone come up with ideas, resist the Turks.

Li Jiancheng ordered people to persuade Li Yuan: "The reason why the Turks have repeatedly invaded the Guanzhong region is because our population and wealth are concentrated in Chang'an. If Chang'an is burned and the capital is not here, then the invasion of the Hu people will naturally subside. ”

Li Yuan thought about it and thought it was very reasonable, so he sent the Zhongshu servant Lang Yu Scribe and crossed Zhongnan Mountain to Fanzhou and Dengzhou to inspect the places where he could stay, and prepared to move the capital there.

Prince Jiancheng, Qi Wang Yuanji, and Pei Lin all agreed with this strategy, desperately advocating the idea; Although Xiao Yu and the others knew that it should not be like this, they did not dare to admonish them.

Only King Shimin of Qin stepped forward and advised: "The situation of ethnic minorities in the north causing trouble to the Central Plains has existed since ancient times. Your Majesty, with the heroic strength of the Holy Ming, created a new dynasty, stabilized Zhongxia, and had millions of elite soldiers, how could he hurriedly move the capital to avoid them because there were Hu people disturbing the border, so that the subjects of the whole country would feel humiliated and ridiculed by future generations?

Na Huo Qubing is just a general of the Han Dynasty, and he is still determined to eliminate the Xiongnu, not to mention that the sons and others are still ashamed of the position of vassal king! I hope that Your Majesty will give me a few years, please let me put the rope around Jieli's neck and arrest him under the palace. If it doesn't succeed by then, it's not too late to move the capital. ”

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Well said. It's I owe it to consider. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Back then, Fan Xu planned to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to gallop among the Huns, but failed. King Qin's words shouldn't be similar to Fan Xu's! ”

Li Shimin said: "The situations we face are different, and the methods of employing soldiers are also different. What is there to praise about that kid! In no more than ten years, I will definitely be able to calm down the Mobei region, and I am not talking out of thin air! ”

In the end, Li Yuan decided not to move the capital. Li Jiancheng and his concubines jointly framed Li Shimin, saying: "Although the Turks have repeatedly caused trouble on the frontier, as long as they get money, they will retreat." In the name of resisting the Turks, the king of Qin actually planned to seize the military power and achieve his plot to usurp the throne! Li Yuan was hesitant when he heard this, but he calmed down his control over military power.

Li Yuan set up a hunting field in the south of the capital, and the crown prince Jiancheng, the king of Qin, Shimin, and the king of Qi, Yuanji, all went with him. Li Yuan ordered his three sons to ride horses and hunt to compete for victory.

Li Jiancheng had a horse, fat and strong, but he liked to be a man, he handed the horse to Li Shimin and said: "This horse runs very fast and can cross a stream several zhang wide." The second brother is good at riding horses, so let's try it on it. ”

Li Shimin is a horse general, seeing that Hunting Xinxi rode this horse to chase the wild deer, Hu Ma suddenly jumped up, Li Shimin jumped up, jumped a few steps away to stand firm, after Hu Ma stood up, grain Shimin rode on the horse again, this situation happened three times in a row.

Li Shimin turned back to Yu Wenshi and said, "He plans to harm me with the help of this horse, but people's life and death are determined by their own fate, can they hurt me?" ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he took the opportunity to instigate the concubines who were connected with him to frame the people in Li Yuan's ear: "The King of Qin claimed that God had given me an order, and he was about to make me the master of the world, how could he die in vain!" ”

Li Yuan was furious, first summoned Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and then summoned Li Shimin, reproaching him: "Whoever is the Son of Heaven, God will naturally give him orders, and it is not something that human intelligence can seek." Why are you so eager to seek the throne? ”

Li Shimin took off his crown, prostrated himself on the ground, and asked to hand him over to law enforcement for interrogation to confirm that he had not said such disobedient words, but Li Yuan was still angry.

coincided with Luoyang's urgent performance that the Great Demon Kingdom came to invade, and all five levels were lost, and Luoyang was in danger. Only then did Li Yuan change his angry face, and instead persuaded Li Shimin Shimin, let him wear the crown, fasten his belt, and discuss with him how to deal with the Great Demon Kingdom.

Li Shimin asked to personally lead troops to Luoyang to resist the Great Demon Kingdom, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were afraid that if he went to Luoyang, it would be like a dragon swimming in the sea, and the tiger would return to the mountain, and he would never be able to catch him in the future; Hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

Li Shimin said angrily: "The soldiers of the Great Demon Country are the best in the world, if they are allowed to go to Luoyang, the world will definitely change; As vassal kings, we should contribute to our father's strength; If I can't go; How about inviting the eldest brother and the third brother to go? ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were stunned, thinking of the horror of the Great Demon Kingdom, they were stunned and didn't dare to speak. Li Yuan said: "Okay, I didn't listen to you come to quarrel, after reading it, tell me what should we do?" You all stay with me and think about who to send to guard Luoyang. ”

As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he knew that his father was still not at ease, and he hurriedly said: "Father, the son of the emperor recommended the secretary of the military department, and the left servant shot Qu Tutong to guard Luoyang." In addition, we have been allies with the Great Demon Kingdom in the past, and we can send Wen Daya, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to Shandong to negotiate peace with the Great Demon Kingdom. ”

The struggle between the three brothers became more and more intense, and they slowly tried to see the dagger, thinking of a move to kill the enemy without thinking of family affection.

Zhang Liang finally mastered Li Jiancheng's close service to Wang Zhi after layers of relationships, and won him into his camp.

On this day, Wang Zhi sent a small note, Zhang Liang opened it and looked at it, he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and almost sat on the ground. It turned out that Wang Zhi got the news that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji designed a banquet for the King of Qin, wanting to kill him with poisonous wine.

Zhang Liang didn't say a word, Pegasus rushed to the Qin Palace, and when he inquired, Li Shimin had gone to the banquet at the invitation of the prince.

Zhang Liang turned his horse's head and came to the Prince's Mansion again, he said that he was the guard of the Prince's Mansion, and he had an urgent matter for King Qin. The guard snorted coldly and told him to wait, and then there was news like a stone sinking into the sea.

Zhang Liang knew that something was wrong, he gritted his teeth violently, raised his leg and rushed in, shouting loudly as he ran: "King Qin! There is an urgent matter in the house, King Qin, please go back to the house quickly! ”

The guards of the Prince's Mansion didn't expect that someone would dare to break in here, so they hurriedly went up to intercept him, but he ran into the mansion and broke into the mansion for a while, causing chickens and dogs to jump.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji invited Li Shimin to drink, and then accompanied by Li Shentong, the king of Huainan, and other royal relatives, they had just drunk two glasses of wine when they heard a big mess in the prince's mansion. Li Shimin faintly heard someone calling him, and he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, the third brother seems to have my home and will look for me, let me go and see what happened?" Ignoring the persuasion of the two, he strode out of the door.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's faces turned blue with anger, and Li Yuanji smashed the wine glasses.

Li Shimin came to the front hall and stopped the guards from chasing and killing Zhang Liang; Then he called Zhang Liang over and said, "Zhang Liang, what are you arguing about here?" What's the matter with looking for me? ”

Zhang Liang saw that it was King Qin, so he put a snack and said: "King Qin, something big happened in the house, if you don't go back, it will be upside down, please hurry back with me." ”

Li Shimin scolded, found his war horse and ran back to the Qin Palace. When he arrived in the mansion, Zhang Liang told the truth about the information he had obtained, and Li Shimin felt severe pain in his abdomen and vomited blood several times.

There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping up and down the Qin Palace, and the eldest grandson Wujian and others were also in tears, and someone invited the doctor to take various antidote pills for Li Shimin.

Li Yuan got the news, took Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji hurried to the Qin Palace. He inquired about the people's illness, and the edict was completed: "The king of Qin has never been good at drinking, and from now on, you can no longer drink at night with him." ”

The two didn't dare to refute and agreed again and again, and then said something to let Li Shimin have a good rest, and left the Qin Palace.

Li Yuan retreated left and right, and said to the people with a sigh: "First of all, you put forward the strategy of opposing Sui, destroying the enemy, and pacifying the sea, all of which are your credits. I was going to make you the crown prince, but you resolutely refused.

And he was the oldest, and it has been a long time since he was made the crown prince, and I can't bear to take away his crown prince.

I see that your brothers seem to be incompatible, and if you live together in the capital, there will definitely be disputes, I should send you outside to guard the town, and you will stay in Luoyang!"

The vast area east of Shaanzhou is under your control. I also want you to set up the banner of the Son of Heaven, such as the story of King Liang Xiao of the Han Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin wept and excused himself on the grounds that he was unwilling to stay away from his father's knees.

Li Yuan said: "The world is one family, the eastern capital and the western capital, the distance is very close, as long as I miss you, you can go there, you don't have to worry and sad." ”

Li Shimin thanked his father Longen, and after Li Yuan left, he asked people to prepare to go to Luoyang.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji discussed together: "If the king of Qin arrives in Luoyang and has land and army, we can no longer control him. It's better to keep him in Chang'an, so that he is just a puppet, and it will be easy to catch him. ”

So, they secretly asked several people to play the Tang Emperor in a sealed piece, claiming: "The people around the King of Qin were all overjoyed when they learned that the King of Qin was going to Luoyang. Looking at King Qin's intentions, I am afraid that he will stand on his own in Luoyang and will not return to Chang'an. ”

They also instructed Li Yuan's favored officials to persuade Li Yuan on the merits of the Qin king's stay. Li Yuan hesitated at first, but finally changed his mind, and the matter of King Qin's trip to Luoyang was put on hold halfway.

"Fifth brother, why are you here?" Li Shimin was a little surprised when he saw Cheng Zhijie, who had changed his face and was covered in dust.

"I heard that you were poisoned, I don't worry, this is not the most famous miracle doctor in my hands. Sun Zhenren, please diagnose King Qin. ”
