Yang Wengan didn't really want to rebel!

Even if he comes to Baijiabao. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info more hope for military advice than rebellion.

The reason is simple, he doesn't have many soldiers and horses at his disposal. Even if he is the commander of the Gyeongju soldiers and horses, he only has seven or eight thousand troops in his hands.

With such a small number of troops, and facing an opponent like Li Shimin, where does Yang Wengan have a chance of winning?

Therefore, there was only a short confrontation between the two sides in Baijiabao, and Yang Wengan was defeated and left, and was finally killed by Qin Qiong, the general of Li Shimin's department.

Yang Wengan lost!

Li Shimin was naturally very happy......

After this battle, his reputation was increased again, and more importantly, Li Yuan made up his mind to abolish the crown prince Li Jiancheng and establish himself.

As soon as one is abolished, Li Shimin's status will naturally rise.

Although Li Yuan talked to him, he was not ready to put Li Jiancheng to death, but planned to let Li Jiancheng go to Shuzhong to become a vassal domain. This more or less disappointed Li Shimin, but the burden on his heart was also reduced a lot. Li Jiancheng went to Shuzhong, at least he didn't have to bear a reputation of fratricide. Moreover, after he ascends the throne, there will be a chance to deal with Li Jiancheng.

At the end of July of the seventh year of Wude. Li Shimin, who returned triumphantly, took Yang Wengan's head and returned to Renzhi Palace in Yuhua Mountain.

But what he didn't expect was that on the first day he arrived at Renzhi Palace, Li Yuan led his troops to make a detour to Jingzhou and drove back to Chang'an.

At the gate of Renzhi Palace, three bloody human heads are hung.

Among them, in addition to Qiao Gongshan and Er Wenhuan, there is also a face that Li Shimin is very familiar with: Du Fengju.

This Du Fengju is the illegitimate son of Cao Shenjun, a soldier of Tiance Mansion.

Later, under the care of Du Yan, he served as the county lieutenant of Pengyuan...... Seeing Du Fengju's head, Li Shimin shivered, and a chill rose up his spine.

The causes and consequences of Yang Wengan's rebellion, he Li Shimin knows best.

thought that the overall situation was in control, but he didn't expect that he would lead the troops to the expedition on the first day of July, and in a short period of time, he became like this.

Why did Qiao Gongshan and Er Wenhuan suddenly inform?

Yu Wenying was edicted to go to Qingyang, why was there no news?

The filthy things in this are not enough for outsiders...... If you really want to explain it clearly, it's not that hard. All in all, Qiao Gongshan is his Li Shimin's person, and Er Wenhuan is also his Li Shimin's person. As for Du Fengju, with Du Yan's relationship, he naturally will not belong to others.

And Yu Wenying must go from Yuhua Mountain to Qingyang through Pengyuan County.

Li Yuan didn't even wait for Li Shimin to come back in triumph, he hurriedly returned to Chang'an, what kind of meaning is hidden in this?

Li Shimin is a smart person!

Li Yuan clearly told him: Your trick. I already know it perfectly......

"Your Majesty, it's only sixty miles a day's drive. If we send light cavalry to attack, we might be able to catch up with the driver. ”

Dugu Xiu, the hussar general of the Tiance Mansion on the side, said in a low voice.

Li Shimin shuddered, and subconsciously shouted: "Dugu, shut up!" ”

He glanced around and was relieved to see that all around him were his cronies...... Dugu Xiu's meaning is very clear: while Li Yuan has not returned to Chang'an now, he will attack on a light horse and catch up with the car...... Kill Li Yuan on the way.

The governor of Jingzhou is Li Yi, and Li Yi is Li Jiancheng's person.

In this way, Li Shimin can logically plant the crime on Li Jiancheng's head, and then call on the king of the world in the name of counterinsurgency.

In Li Shimin's heart, it is not without heart.

But this heartbeat is only a fleeting moment......

"My father is demonstrating to me, and he is also probing my reaction.

I am sure that my father did not go to Jingzhou...... If we send troops to pursue, the soldiers and horses of Li Yi and his son will definitely be waiting on the way. ”

Li Shimin replied in a low voice. But then his face softened.

"My father killed these three people, and all the clues that were not against me were also interrupted, making it clear that I didn't want to pursue it any further."

"But ......"

"I'm still a little too anxious, and it seems that I'm afraid I'll have to continue to be patient."

Li Shimin muttered to himself, and seemed to explain Dugu Xiu.

He closed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Pass the order, the army will temporarily stay in Tongchuan County, and I will return to Chang'an......"

"King, if you go back now, I'm afraid that the prince won't give up."

Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Li Yuan put on this posture, in fact, he wanted him to go back and ask for his guilt. As for how to ask for guilt and how to punish the crime, that's another matter, what Li Yuan needs now is for Li Shimin to put on a posture. One thing is for sure, Li Yuan did not want to embarrass Li Shimin. First, he didn't want to be Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, and secondly, he didn't want Li Jiancheng to take this opportunity to dominate the family.

But Li Yuan will not pursue Li Shimin, which does not mean that Li Jiancheng will give up the investigation.

This time, Li Shimin almost killed Li Jiancheng, this hatred is equivalent to tearing all the disguises! If it is said that although the two brothers were hostile in the past, they were still amiable on the surface, then Yang Wen's incident has made there is no buffer between the two...... No matter how good Li Jiancheng's temper is, I'm afraid he won't be able to endure this bad breath in vain.

Mistakes, really some mistakes!

Li Shimin has made a lot of calculations. didn't calculate that Li Jiancheng's counterattack would be so violent.

He was sure that the people who killed Qiao Gongshan, Er Wenhuan, and even Du Fengju were by no means Li Yuan's handiwork.

There are still capable people around the prince...... originally thought that if Li Gang was driven away and Wei Ting was killed, the power around the prince would be greatly reduced, but he didn't think about it......

Li Shimin ordered to be stationed in Tongchuan County, and after changing into civilian clothes, he ordered Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin to accompany them and prepare to return to Chang'an.

However, before leaving, he secretly ordered Wang Tong to start preparations in Chang'an.

and sent henchmen to secretly go to Lingzhou.

Subsequently, Li Shimin took advantage of the night to leave Tongchuan County and embark on the return journey back to Chang'an.

――――――――――――――――――――――

In August of the seventh year of Wude, the governor of Lingzhou, Li Xuanba, the king of Zhao, said that he was sick and returned to Chang'an.

In view of the fierce wind in Lingzhou, Li Yuan issued an edict ordering Li Xuanba to resign from the post of governor of Lingzhou and recuperate in Chang'an.

The post of governor of Lingzhou. Li Jing took over.

It's just that the winter offensive against the Turks, which had already been decided, was slowed down and put on hold indefinitely.

After Li Xuanba returned to Chang'an, he was named the general of the left and right prison gates, the general of Zhenguo, the central protection army, and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

Yang Wengan's rebellion then disappeared, as if it had never happened, and no one mentioned it again.

In the midst of this turmoil. It seems that no one has suffered losses.

Li Jiancheng's position as the crown prince is still stable, and Li Shimin, as before, served as Shang Shuling and led the affairs of the six ministries. It's just that all kinds of rumors about the position of the crown prince began to appear in the market...... Many people say that His Majesty did not keep his word and treated the King of Qin badly.

In this regard, Li Yuan did not explain, Li Jiancheng was unheard, and Li Shimin was silent.

Just when this rumor intensified, an astonishing news suddenly came from Lingnan: the king of Henan killed the slang king Luo Dou, the Zhenla dragoon, and Xiang Tianzhu suddenly launched an offensive...... For a time, the eyes of the government and the opposition all turned to Lingnan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan ordered the right servant of Shangshu to shoot the eldest Sun Shunde, and Pei Shiju, a member of the provincial house of Zhongshu, to set off for Lingnan.

When the mighty team left Chang'an, no one noticed that there was one more person in this Qincha team. This person's destination is also to Lingnan, but the mission he is carrying is very different from others.

Perhaps, including him, did not expect that he would go to Lingnan, but the wheel of history would suddenly deviate from the original trajectory.

This person, surnamed Wei Mingzheng, the word Xuancheng! v！ ~！
