Chapter 587 Qin Wangfu
Although Wan He was very reluctant, he would not ignore Du Ruhui's opinion, and soon asked Du Hao to prepare five thousand taels of gold, which was sent to Li Jiancheng's prince's mansion overnight!
And after getting this gold, Li Jiancheng was also overjoyed, and his subordinates even accelerated the frequency of activities up and down, and stepped up the practice of those courtiers and generals in Chang'an City! Under this golden offensive, coupled with Li Jiancheng's promise as the prince, most of the courtiers and generals in Chang'an City soon fell to Li Jiancheng, and even the concubines around Li Yuan were also won over by Li Jiancheng.
As for Li Yuan, although he has also heard of Li Jiancheng's behavior, he may be deliberately biased towards Li Jiancheng, or he may be busy with the matter of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, and he is also turning a blind eye to Li Jiancheng's actions anyway. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For a while, Li Jiancheng's limelight in Chang'an City also soared, and even Li Shimin's big victory in Longxi was covered up!
In Li Shimin's Qin Palace, Li Shimin's subordinates who stayed in Chang'an were also very anxious at the moment! They threw themselves into Li Shimin's account, naturally so that Li Shimin could ascend to the throne in the future, and they would follow the dragon's merits! But now the prestige that Li Shimin had accumulated before is being eroded by Li Jiancheng bit by bit, but they can only watch and see it, and there is no place for it!
A bearded warrior walked up and down the living room with an anxious face, occasionally walking to the door and looking out. In the living room, there were a few people sitting scattered, but they were all silent, which made the atmosphere in the whole living room particularly depressing!
"Gongsun Wuda! You just don't have to walk around anymore! You're shaking me like this, it's making me dizzy! One of the white-faced and beardless generals looked at the bearded generals walking around, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly.
The bearded general is Li Shimin's fierce general Gongsun Wuda, a hussar of the right three armies of the Qin Palace, this person has learned a good martial arts since he was a child, and joined the army in the last years of the great cause! When the Tang Army conquered Chang'an, he switched to the Tang Army and was reused by Li Shimin! This time, Li Shimin went to Longxi, but he left him behind, which already made him very unhappy, and now seeing Li Jiancheng being aggressive in Chang'an City, it made Gongsun Wuda jump in a hurry, and the fire in his heart went straight out! The white-faced general suddenly scolded him like this, which also made him finally find a catharsis point, and immediately stood still, stared at him with round eyes and shouted: "Dugu Yanyun!" What's in your way when Lao Tzu walks around? ”
The white military general has the surname Dugu, but he is a descendant of the Dugu family! The Dugu family is also a big family among the few Guanlong nobles who insist on standing on Li Yuan's side, and Dugu Yanyun has been practicing martial arts with Li Shimin since he was a child, and he is also closer to Li Shimin, so it is natural that he has become a supporter of Li Shimin's side! Of course, Dugu Yanyun's attitude does not represent the attitude of the Dugu family, as such a big family, it will not easily express its support for Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng! Although Dugu Yanyun publicly expressed his support for Li Shimin, and the Dugu family immediately sent several Dugu children to stand on Li Jiancheng's side, which can be regarded as showing their attitude of not helping each other.
Although Dugu Yanyun and Gongsun Wuda are both staunch supporters of Li Shimin, one is from a noble Dugu family, and the other is from a humble background, and the two have such strong personalities, so since the two met, they have always been incompatible, as long as there is a little sign of it, they will quarrel, and sometimes they will even fight!
Seeing that Gongsun Wuda actually shouted at him, Dugu Yanyun also frowned, and a cloud immediately floated on his handsome face, a pair of eyes flashed with cold light, and his hand was also on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Gongsun Wuda!" If you're brave enough, say it again! ”
"! Want to fight? All right! Come on! Who's afraid of whom? Gongsun Wuda immediately shouted angrily, and also put his hand on the sword at his waist, but Gongsun Wuda had already pulled out half of the sword with a bang, and his eyes glared at Dugu Yanyun viciously, and shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu has long seen that your little white face is not pleasing to the eye!" Today, Lao Tzu has to draw two swords on your face! ”
"Two generals! Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! Seeing that the two of them were about to use their swords, several generals next to them also hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, one of them was Zheng Rentai, the commander of the cavalry of the Qin Palace, and he was also a new general who defected to Li Shimin. Although his skills are not very good, and his strategy is not top-notch, he is very average in all aspects, and his personality is also a well-known good man, so he directly stepped forward to block the middle of the two, and persuaded each other with good words: "Two generals, now is the critical juncture of King Qin, even if the two generals don't look at the following, they must think about King Qin!" This is not the time for us to engage in infighting! Let's work together and find a way to deal with the difficulties in front of us! ”
Several other generals also stepped forward to persuade, and with their persuasion, Gongsun Wuda and Dugu Yanyun gave up, but the two still glared at each other fiercely, this hatred is probably getting bigger and bigger!
After waiting for a while, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, and everyone's eyes immediately looked out of the door, only to see a burly general walking in from the outside quickly, this person is also recognized by everyone, it is the former Chang'an hero, and now Shi Wanbao, who is the governor of the Chang'an garrison!
Strictly speaking, Shi Wanbao should be a member of the line of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Li Shentong is also one of the few generals who are only loyal to Li Yuan and do not participate in the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin! It's just that Li Shentong is not in Chang'an now, and Shi Wanbao and Li Xiaogong, who is also from Li Shentong's faction, are close to Li Shimin's side, so Shi Wanbao can be regarded as Li Shimin's side!
It is precisely because of this reason that after Shi Wanbao came in, everyone stood up to greet him and saluted Shi Wanbao with fists. Shi Wanbao also seemed to have something important to say, so he just hurriedly returned the salute to everyone, and glanced at everyone a few times, but said a little anxiously: "What? Hasn't Lord Tang come yet? ”
Hearing Shi Wanbao's words, all the generals also smiled bitterly, and Zheng Rentai said: "Not only Lord Tang, but also Lord Yu, they all have government affairs in the early dynasty today, and they were left behind by King Tang!" But according to the messengers they sent, it should be there soon! No, we're all waiting here! ”
Zheng Rentai had just finished speaking, and Gongsun Wuda, who was anxious, immediately asked, "General Shi!" What do you think? How long will it take for the prince to return to Chang'an! ”
Shi Wanbao also looked anxious when he heard Zheng Rentai's answer, and the Tang and Yu adults in Zheng Rentai's mouth were the few Chinese officials Tang Jian and Yu Shinan who supported Li Shimin! Now that Li Shimin is not here, most of the henchmen who remain in Chang'an are military generals, these generals, if they are allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy, of course there is no problem, but if they want to make suggestions and solve the problems in front of them now, they are not at all scratching! So I can only count on Tang Jian and Yu Shinan!
This Tang Jian had a very close relationship with Li Yuan's father and son, and even when he was in Taiyuan, Tang Jian intersected with Li Yuan's father and son as a cloth cloth. In the process of getting along with Li Shimin, Tang Jian was also impressed by Li Shimin's eloquence and was willing to give advice to Li Shimin. As for Yu Shinan, not to mention, when Jiangdu changed, Yu Shinan's brother Yu Shiji was arrested by Yu Wenhua, but Yu Shinan took advantage of the chaos to escape from Jiangdu, because he had a holiday with Wanhe back then, and he himself disdained Wanhe's businessman's background, so he did not return to Luoyang, but went directly to Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, Li Yuan also gave Yu Shinan a small official position, but Li Shimin valued Yu Shinan very much, and Yu Shinan also thought that Li Shimin was the real master, so he was willing to serve Li Shimin.
Hearing that Tang Jian and Yu Shinan would have to wait for a while to come, Shi Wanbao was also anxious, and Gongsun Wuda asked, Shi Wanbao also frowned and said: "I also just got the news, King Qin was going to return to the dynasty directly from Longxi!" But Li Liang made some rude requests, and the King of Qin had to stay in Longxi for the time being, and after dealing with these things, he could rush back to Chang'an, and it was estimated that it would have to be delayed for a while! ”
"Ahh As soon as Shi Wanbao said this, all the generals also exclaimed in disappointment, and Gongsun Wuda was even more anxious to rub his hands and said, "What should I do!" What to do! Li Jiancheng is already pressing step by step! Now the wind direction in the middle of the court has also completely turned around! If the prince comes back late, it will be too late for anything! ”
Gongsun Wuda's words can be regarded as speaking the hearts of everyone, and even Dugu Yanyun, who has always liked to go against Gongsun Wuda, made an exception this time and did not refute it. Shi Wanbao also had a bitter face, helplessly spread his hands, and said: "It's useless to talk about this now!" If King Qin didn't finish the matter in Longxi and ran back, the prince would definitely seize this loophole and sue in front of King Tang! ”
The generals also knew that Shi Wanbao was right, things suddenly turned out like this, which no one expected. After all, both inside and outside the government and the opposition were still singing praises for Li Shimin's great achievements in defeating Western Qin and pacifying Longxi! But who would have thought that in just a few days, the wind direction in the court hall would change, and it would suddenly turn to Li Jiancheng's side! Even many generals in the army who had already intended to lean on Li Shimin's side went directly in and out of the Shizi Mansion in the blink of an eye and became Li Jiancheng's supporters! This sudden change also caught everyone off guard, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all! Now Shi Wanbao has brought such bad news again, which makes the generals' mood more and more heavy!
