Chapter 454: Yang Wengan's Mutiny (5)
Li Yuanba returned to his Zhao Wangfu, and he didn't have so many scruples, and directly said his intentions to Li Shimin:
"Second brother, the younger brother also saw what happened on the Lishan hunting ground that day, to be honest, my nephew's performance is not as good as that of my eldest brother's Li Chengxun and Li Chengdao!" Thinking of Li Chengqian's performance that day, Li Shimin's heart was like being pressed by a big stone, and he couldn't breathe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info poured wine into his mouth with a bang. Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin's appearance and said in his heart - oops! This wine is expensive! What a tyrannical thing you drink like this!
"Hey! Second brother, this wine has to be tasted slowly, little brother, I know that your heart is not happy, but you can't spoil your body like this! Li Shimin smiled at Li Yuanba while drinking:
"Yuanba, don't laugh at the second brother, the second brother knows in his heart, I'm afraid you also have a request for the second brother!" Li Yuanba was told by Li Shimin, so he didn't hide it.
"Okay, don't hide it from the second brother, junior brother, I recently found out that the subordinate general under my command, Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, has some small moves in Gyeongju, and I have always wanted to impeach him, but I have been thinking that Yang Wengan is the original Donggong guard of the prince's elder brother, so I want to impeach you with the second brother, but I don't know if the second brother is willing?"
"Oh! That's right! Li Shimin did not immediately agree to Li Yuanba, and when he was recovering with the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin did not ride a horse, but sat in the carriage with the eldest grandson Wuji to discuss:
"Auxiliary, did you say that King Zhao was telling the truth this time?"
"Your Highness, the humble minister thinks that there is a chance that Lord Zhao is lying this time!" Li Shimin nodded.
"Auxiliary, you go to Longxi for me to check, this king thinks that it seems that he can catch some of King Zhao's handles!"
"Yes! Lord Wang, the humble minister understands! The eldest grandson Wuji took the businessman from the Central Plains to the Longxi area to act separately, and after a secret visit, he returned to Chang'an and handed over a Longxi investigation report to Li Shimin:
"Your Royal Highness, after the visit of the subordinates and subordinates, it has been determined that the prince of Zhao in the Longxi area in the name of guarding against the Turks, wantonly in the Longxi area to set up a customs defense regiment training, has reached the scale of 100,000 people, most of the soldiers and horses of the states and counties of Longxi have received Longzhou, by their own personal control, and the western Turks to do commercial trade in the Western Regions, from which bribes and benefits are collected, and also found a gold mine in the Longxi area, secretly mined, and used the mined gold sand to buy the Central Plains iron ore and the Western Regions of the good horses, Monopolizing the salt tea and wine trade in the northwest, in addition to Qingzhou, the rest of Longzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Hexi and other prefectures and counties have been completely controlled by Zhao Wangye. ”
"Auxiliary, this king doesn't understand a little, there are few people in Longxi, how can Li Yuanba pull up a team of almost 100,000 people."
"Lord Wang, the ministers found out that Prince Zhao colluded with the Western Turkic tribes to buy slaves in the Western Regions, so the Western Turks have been conquering the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and most of the elite prisoners of war have been bought by Zhao Wangye, and they have also wantonly incorporated horse thieves and rogues in the Western Regions, which also makes Zhao Wangye monopolize the commercial trade in the Western Regions."
"Auxiliary, do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, the witnesses have been found, and these are their confessions! Also, those people testified that Beichen had taken them out of Longxi and hid them in a place known only to Beichen. Li Shimin sneered:
"Good! Very good, auxiliary, you did a great job this time, huh! This king originally thought that Li Yuanba was just a martial artist, but he didn't expect that this martial artist is now also using his brains, okay! It's really good! A plan slowly formed in Li Shimin's mind.
"Auxiliary! Ben Wang now had an idea. The eldest grandson Wuji was entrusted by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and came to the front of Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao:
"Ahh Lord Changsun, I don't know if there is any good news for His Royal Highness King Qin to pat Lord Changsun here. The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and took out a letter from his arms:
"Please see it for yourself!" After Li Yuanba tore open the envelope, he looked at the heart carefully, and suddenly, his hand trembled:
"Lord Eldest Sun, these things are all nothing, this ...... I'm afraid of these...... I'm afraid it's all nonsense! The eldest grandson Wuji smiled:
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, our prince also hopes that these things are all false, but this person certificate is in Yongzhou, under the control of our prince, so the prince should not quibble." Li Yuanba put down the letter and trembled:
"Lord Eldest Sun, if the second brother has anything to say, please speak directly! Little brother, I must take the second brother as the leader! The eldest grandson Wuji whispered softly in the ear of Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao:
"Prince, our Lord Qin has nothing else to say, I just want to tell you, please be virtuous and prepare for Longxi, the prince's heart is sick, our Royal Highness the King of Qin already knows, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please rest assured that Yang Wen will do something." Li Yuanba arrived at Renshou Palace the next morning and bid farewell to Li Yuan:
"Father, my sons have been in Chang'an for too long, I'm afraid that Longxi's armaments are lax, so I ask my father to allow my sons to return to Longxi." Li Yuan is getting older and older, and the emotions for his children are getting stronger and stronger, especially the four sons and one daughter born to him and Queen Dou, now, Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning has been bedridden all the year round, and the battle between the prince and the King of Qin, Li Yuan knows that the only one who can give himself some comfort now is this Li Yuanba, who left home when he was young and seemed to be a reckless man.
"Yuanba, you've been outside for so long, and you've only been in Chang'an for a few days! Stay a few more days! ”
"Father, the son said that the son has been leaving Longxi for a while, I'm afraid the armament is lax, please ask my father for permission!" Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanba and sighed in his heart:
"Alright! Yuanba, Longxi's military affairs are important, you have to take good care of yourself. After Li Yuanba listened to Liyuan's words, he turned around and left, not noticing the tear in Li Yuan's eyes at all. It fell in July again, every year in July, it is the hottest time in the Guanzhong area, and from the seventh year of Wude, when it comes to this time, Li Yuan will go to the Guanzhong Plain and the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi at the junction of the Yijun County Renzhi Palace to escape the summer, Renzhi Palace is the seventh year of Wude, during the Qingming Dynasty, Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son took a Jin Ge Tie Xuan elite soldiers to sweep the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, patrolled to the vicinity of Yuhua Mountain, ready to return to the capital Chang'an, Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at that time, ordered the general Wei Chi Jingde to lead the way in front of the team. It may be that Wei Chi Jingde drank too much wine and drunkenly climbed on horseback. The horse that no one commanded was the real Shin Horse Rein, and it walked into the hinterland of Yuhua Mountain, walked into the Laneige Valley, and was blocked by the Phoenix Mountain in front of it and stopped. At this time, Wei Chi Jingde's wine was also half awake, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his head, and he was at a loss, waiting to be punished. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, saw that the front army was not good, so he dismounted to inspect the terrain, and found that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the mountain in front of him is shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, which is really a blessed land from heaven, and it is a good place to live in the phoenix and hide the dragon. Moreover, this Sichuan Road is fertile, wide and flat, surrounded by mountains, not far from the official road, and it is a good place to raise horses and practice martial arts. He immediately reported to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan was also because of internal and external troubles at that time, there were anti-kings and secessions inside, and Turks often invaded outside. In particular, the powerful Turks in the north invaded Guanzhong from time to time, seriously threatening the security of the capital Chang'an. For this reason, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan personally led the troops to patrol and decided to expand and build military fortresses and summer palaces in several choke points near the capital, and now he was suddenly discovered by Wei Chi Jingde that there is such a treasure land, Li Yuan is very happy:
"Yes, climb to the top of Yuhua Mountain, look at the bridge and mountain beam barrier in the north vividly, look at the golden lock Xiongguan in the south, build a palace here, you can not only enjoy the summer and enjoy the scenery, but also be able to deploy troops nearby to guard the military arteries to curb the enemy. Being in the center can contain the commanding heights of Meridian Ridge, to the east can hold the north-south highway through Fangzhou and Yanzhou (now Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province), and to the west can support Gyeongju and Jingzhou. All right! It just happened to reconcile my border defense, and the heart of the inside and outside; The intention of camping the palace and the pleasure of nature. So Li Yuan and Li Shimin rewarded Wei Chi Jingde. Later, Li Yuan and his son decided to build a palace here, named Renzhi Palace. With the unification of the Central Plains, Li Yuanyou Xingrenzhi Palace was no longer a military command center to defend against the Turkic invasion of Guanzhong. And more was preparing to point Li Tang's war knife at the Turkic royal court north of the desert. It's July again, and the hot weather in Guanzhong has started again. Li Yuan ordered:
"I am going to go to Renzhi Palace again, and I specially ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to follow and escort, and ordered the crown prince Li Jiancheng to stay in Chang'an to supervise the country, and all military and government affairs will be transferred by His Royal Highness the crown prince. In addition, officials above the third rank in the court and I went to the Inzhi Palace to wait. "After the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qin Li Shimin and the king of Qi Li Yuanji received the will, their reactions were a little different. After Li Jiancheng received the holy decree, he summoned Di Zhixun, Xu Jingzong, Wei Zheng, and Di Renjie to find him.
"Four Aiqing, this palace has received the holy decree of my father, and during my father's visit to Renzhi Palace, this palace will handle the daily affairs of Chang'an, so this palace is looking for you now, just for your division of labor!" Di Zhixun, Xu Jingzong, Wei Zheng, and Di Renjie saluted Li Jiancheng together and said:
"Please command His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Di Zhi Xunqing and Ren Jieqing!" Di Zhixon and Di Renjie stood up and replied to Li Jiancheng:
"The minister is here!"
"The two of you are mainly responsible for collecting the Turkic movements, and this palace believes that my father will be very interested in the Turkic movements."
"Yes! Wait for the command! ”
"Xuan Chengqing!" Wei Zheng got up and said:
"The minister is here!"
"Aiqing is responsible for the liaison between the four parties and the logistics supply of all parties, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes! Commanded! Li Jiancheng's eyes looked at Xu Jingzong again:
"Jing Zongqing! This Gyeonggi movement, the main palace will be handed over to you for the time being, don't take it lightly! Xu Jingzong also nodded yes.
In the palace of Li Shimin, King of Qin:
"Auxiliary, this king thinks that our opportunity has come. Yikes! Immediately sent a letter to King Zhao, ordering him to immediately write a letter of recital, saying that Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, had secretly hidden weapons and might be plotting against him, and asked his father to send a minister to Gyeongju to investigate as soon as possible! to prevent unrest! Eldest Sun Wuji nodded. And in Li Yuanji's Qi Palace, Li Yuanji also discussed with his think tank Xie Shufang:
"Uncle! This time, this king accompanied his father to Renzhi Palace to escort him, and this king felt that this time there would be some movement in King Qin's place, so that you could secretly make a move, did you do it? Xie Shufang smiled and said to Li Yuanji:
"Lord Wang, don't worry, now that the stage has been built, this guest has also been invited, just wait for this good show to start." After Li Yuanji listened to Xie Shufang's words, he couldn't stop laughing!
