East Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The flowers in the garden of the East Palace are in good bloom, attracting swarms of bees and butterflies.

Li Chengqian looked at these butterflies and bees that pounced on the flowers, and suddenly remembered an old saying, how can there be flowers that don't attract butterflies, he doesn't know if this old saying is right, anyway, the meaning is almost the same, it means that as long as the flowers are beautiful, there are no butterflies and no butterflies will not be hooked.

He is very confident in Cao Cairen's appearance, and he is also very clear about her kung fu in that regard, Hou Junji, a man who can't see a woman on the battlefield for a few months on weekdays, I'm afraid he can't stand it, right?

Just when the crown prince Li Chengqian was thinking like this, Du He came with Hou Junji.

Seeing the two of them coming together, the prince knew that their plan had succeeded.

However, although he knew that he had succeeded, after Hou Junji came in, he did not mention the matter, but said with a smile: "General Hou, this prince has been imprisoned in the East Palace for several months, do you have any ideas?" ”

Hou Junji secretly complained in his heart, he is not a fish on the knife board now, let you slaughter it, since this is the case, what are you doing with so much nonsense, you can tell how you want.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is stupid, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make it clear."

The crown prince Li Chengqian frowned slightly, and said: "That's the case, this prince heard that there is a intention to abolish the prince in the saint, if I am deposed, General Hou will not be the head of the country, so what does this prince mean, I am ready to follow what my father did back then and force the palace." ”

Hearing the word forced palace, Hou Junji's heart sank suddenly, and he secretly thought that it was no wonder that the crown prince Li Chengqian asked Cao Cairen to frame him, it turned out that there was such a big trap here waiting for him to jump.

How wise is the saint nowadays, how easy is it to force the palace?

But does he have a choice?

After some thought, Hou Junji said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can things not be without a turnaround, why should you take risks?" ”

Prince Li Chengqian's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "General Hou, it's very clear what this prince is doing, I just want to know if you are willing to support this prince." ”

Obviously, the crown prince Li Chengqian is threatening Hou Junji, you Hou Junji have done this kind of thing, if I poke it out, won't you still die?

At this time, Du He helped on the side: "General Hou, the East Palace is very close to the palace, as long as we raise troops, we will soon be able to rush into the palace, as long as we control the palace, this Tang Dynasty is ours." ”

In addition to reassuring Hou Junji, Du He's words were also to give him a little face, making him feel that the reason why he agreed to force the palace was not because he was threatened by the crown prince Li Chengqian, but because he felt that they could easily succeed.

Hou Junji didn't agree with Du He's words, but he nodded, because he was really afraid that the crown prince Li Chengqian would poke out his own affairs.

Seeing that Hou Junji agreed, the crown prince Li Chengqian relaxed a little, and then asked: "General Hou is also an experienced person, what do you think should be done about this matter." ”

Hou Junji participated in the change of Xuanwumen back then, so the prince said that Hou Junji had experience, and Hou Junji secretly complained in his heart at this time, but still said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is not urgent, we must wait for the opportunity, make a plan, we need some alliances, and before again, it is best to get rid of Li Tai, the king of Wei." ”

"Get rid of Li Tai, the king of Wei?"

"That's right, if you kill Li Tai, the king of Wei, no one will be able to compete with you for the throne, otherwise even if we control the Shengshang, what if Li Tai, the king of Wei, does not admit it, and he leads people against us? Kill him, and there will be no worries. ”

The crown prince Li Chengqian hated Li Tai, the king of Wei, and after listening to Hou Junji's words, he immediately responded and said: "Okay, good, kill Li Tai, the king of Wei, but how to kill it?" ”

"In this way, we will first unite some ministers in the court, and then set up an assassination team of more than 100 people, let them assassinate Li Tai, the king of Wei, once we kill Li Tai, the king of Wei, we can wait for the opportunity to attack the palace."

This trick is very similar to when Li Shimin first shot Li Jiancheng at Xuanwu Gate, and then entered the palace to force the palace, and the crown prince Li Chengqian also discovered this, and after discovering it, he felt that this method was feasible, so he agreed.

After they negotiated like this, Du He and Hou Junji contacted some people in the court, and in addition, they also formed an assassin team composed of Feng Shijin, Zhang Shizheng, and Su Gan Chengji to assassinate Li Tai, the king of Wei.

And just when the crown prince Li Chengqian was preparing in such a hurry, Li You, the king of Qi in Qizhou, suddenly rebelled, and the news reached the capital, but it shocked everyone.

Li You, the king of Qi, is the fifth son of Li Shimin, who has been flying since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he was sent to Qizhou as a governor.

But this Li You is a little too domineering, the prince is outside, the emperor will generally send a long history to assist, of course, there is also the meaning of monitoring the princes, Li Shimin sent Li You to the long history called Quan Wanji, if he follows Li You in everything, it is better, but this Quan Wanji is a stubborn temper, and he is very strict, Li You is a student in his eyes, a student who has to say two sentences where it is wrong.

The two often had conflicts in Qizhou because of various things, which made Li You, the king of Qi, anxious, and once Li You, the king of Qi, was angry and killed Quan Wanji.

If it is someone else, forget it if you kill it, you will be reprimanded for two sentences at most, and you will lose some money to finish the job, but this Quan Wanji is a long history sent by Li Shimin, and it is not a trivial matter that Changshi was killed?

In addition, there are a lot of traitorous villains next to Li You, the king of Qi, thinking of raising cavalry and pushing Li You to be the emperor, so they can follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, so they instigated Li You, this Li You is also a person who has no idea, and was persuaded by these villains around him, so he really rebelled.

When the news reached Chang'an, Li Shimin was furious, angry and at the same time felt very funny, he had never seen what kind of big battle he had fought back then, this Li You was just a king, how many soldiers and how much food did he have, who gave him the confidence to let him rebel?

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, Li Shimin feels that this son of his is really stupid.

How did you give birth to such a brainless son?

However, although I feel ridiculous and feel that my son is stupid, but Li You, the king of Qi, rebelled, Li Shimin should send someone to quell the rebellion or send someone to quell the rebellion, but who to send has become a problem.

Early that day, Li Shimin brought up this matter.

There is no shortage of famous generals in Datang, and these famous generals also like to fight, for them, galloping on the battlefield is a very fulfilling and happy thing, but to quell the rebellion, some of the generals in the court are not particularly active, they are not interested in this kind of thing.

This situation is very rare, Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yanjin, who is the most active on weekdays, and said: "Cheng Aiqing, how about leaving this matter to you, I named you the generalissimo of counterinsurgency, generalissimo, how about it?" ”

Generalissimo, Cheng Yanjin dreamed of being a generalissimo and commanding thousands of troops.
