Chang'an, Tiance Mansion Study, Li Shimin and a group of his cronies gathered here, and everyone sat in their respective positions, but they didn't speak for a long time, and the whole room was filled with a depressed tense atmosphere. After a long time www.biquge.info Dugu Yanyun, who was sitting on Li Shimin's left hand, couldn't hold back any longer, stood up, hugged his fists at Li Shimin and said, "King Qin!" The battle of King Qi in Taiyuan did not go well, and Song Jingang, the general under Liu Wuzhou, lost eighteen battles in a row! If it weren't for General Liu Hongji and Gongsun Wuda to rescue them, I am afraid that the King of Qi would have been killed by Liu Wuzhou's fierce general Wei Chi Gong! If this continues, Your Majesty will definitely let you go to Taiyuan to fight in place of King Qi! ”

"Hmm!" After listening to Dugu Yanyun's words, Li Shimin just nodded in response, slowly picked up a cup of tea from the table in front of him, and took a sip slowly, but he didn't seem to listen to Dugu Yanyun's words. Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, everyone was stunned, and they didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Li Shimin said faintly: "If my father must go to this king, then what can this king do?" It's impossible to resist disrespect, right? ”

"Lord Wang!" Perhaps Li Shimin's attitude was very surprised, and after everyone glanced at each other, the general Li Anyuan got up and said to Li Shimin: "This time, Your Majesty asked King Qi to replace the prince in the northern expedition to Taiyuan, and promised King Qi to transfer General Liu and General Gongsun from the prince's subordinates, and the attitude is already obvious, that is, he wants to let the king of Qi make more military exploits and contain the prince!" Now that the King of Qi has been defeated one after another, and His Majesty is going to invite the prince to the Northern Expedition, doesn't the prince himself have any other ideas? ”

"Thoughts?" Hearing Li Anyuan's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head slightly, glanced at everyone, and then said: "I believe you all already know that the lack of money for the prince's staff before is actually Liang Wang Wanhe!" And now Wan He has also fled back to Luoyang, which shows that the previous king's speculation was not wrong, Wan He is indeed lurking in Chang'an! But after his father knew all this, how did he react? Hehe, nothing happens! For the prince, it was just a few verbal reprimands! How unjust my father is! Is it still boring for this king to go and ask for himself? ”

After Li Shimin said this, he directly picked up the teacup in his hand, drank the tea in the cup directly, and then slammed it hard, and the fine porcelain cup immediately fell to pieces on the ground!

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, everyone also knew in their hearts that Li Shimin was not without the desire to compete for the position, but Li Yuan's bias towards Li Jiancheng made Li Shimin very helpless and angry. Seeing that Li Shimin at least did not give up his original ambition, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, if even Li Shimin himself did not have that thought, then even if they had more ideas, it would be in vain! Immediately, Zheng Rentai, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Tiance Mansion, got up and persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, the prince! The work of the prince can be seen both inside and outside the court, if there is no prince, there will be no Tang Dynasty today! Your Majesty is only considering that the crown prince is the eldest son, as long as the prince continues to fight, we are also willing to serve the prince, and I believe that we will be able to assist the prince to ascend to the throne of the great treasure in the future! ”

After Li Shimin dropped the teacup, the depression in his heart also dissipated a lot, and then he took a deep breath to calm down, and then bowed to everyone and said: "The king of Shicai has lost his temper, please don't blame you!" ”

"The prince is polite!" Seeing that Li Shimin had returned to normal, everyone was also overjoyed and returned the salute, and then, Dugu Yanyun brought up the old topic just now, and said: "Lord, according to my father's information, it won't be long before Your Majesty will summon the prince into the palace and discuss with the prince about going to Taiyuan to help!" I just don't know if the prince is willing to go? ”

"Go! Naturally, I want to go! Li Shimin lowered his head and thought for a moment, but nodded vigorously, and replied with an affirmative face: "No matter how my father treats this king, but Liu Wuzhou is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and Taiyuan is also the foundation of the Li family, how can he abandon it?" This time, not only does this king have to agree to his father's request, but it is better to take the initiative to make this request! Ask your father for your life, go to Taiyuan to help the fifth brother, and crusade against Liu Wuzhou! ”

"Huh?" Hearing Li Shimin's answer, everyone was dumbfounded, according to their ideas, even if Li Shimin did not refuse the request of the Northern Expedition, at least he had to put forward some requirements, it was best to let Li Yuan agree, agree to let Li Shimin become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future! But everyone didn't expect that Li Shimin not only agreed, but also agreed without any request, which was greatly unexpected by everyone. Immediately, Li Anyuan hesitated, but still said to Li Shimin: "Lord Wang! Since His Majesty has something to ask for, why don't you take this opportunity to let Your Majesty agree to the prince's request, for example, to make another prince the prince or something! ”

Regarding Li Anyuan's suggestion, Li Shimin didn't think about it, so he directly shook his head and refused, Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Not to mention whether the father will agree, even if the father agrees, but don't forget, over the years, has the father promised the king less?" But at the end of the day? Father Emperor didn't make Li Jiancheng the crown prince! The father's promise has no effect, this king does this, but it will make the father think that the king is blackmailing, and the father will definitely be dissatisfied with the king because of this, and it will only be self-defeating when the time comes! ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, the generals understood the problem, and Li Anyuan was even more ashamed, and hugged his fist at Li Shimin, which was regarded as an apology for having such a bad idea to Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't mind, just waved his hand lightly, and then said: "It is precisely because of this that this king must let his father know that no matter whether he makes this king the crown prince or not, this king is wholeheartedly for the Tang Dynasty and the Li family!" In this way, the father will feel all the guilt in his heart for this king! This is the biggest advantage of this king and Li Jiancheng competing for the throne! Secondly, this king is willing to go to Taiyuan, but in order to be able to grasp the military power in his hands! As long as you have the power of the army, everything will be easy in the future! ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, the eyes of all the generals present lit up, and Dugu Yanyun's originally iceberg-like face couldn't help but show an excited expression, stood up, looked at Li Shimin, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, what do you ......mean?"

"This king has no other meaning!" aroused the thoughts of the generals, but Li Shimin did not make the meaning of the words clear, but still said with a little mystery: "The Tang Dynasty and the Li family can only dominate the world under the hands of capable people!" When necessary, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the Li family, even if he is infamous for a lifetime, this king is willing! ”

"Oooh!" The generals listened to Li Shimin's words, and all stood up excitedly, of course, there were exceptions inside, behind the generals, a white-faced general was sitting there, his eyes narrowed into a slit, looking at the excited appearance of the generals, as if he was an outsider, sitting here to watch a good show, this white-faced general was none other than Liu Shili!

And Liu Shili's demeanor also fell in Li Shimin's eyes, and Liu Shili's eyes met, and a cold light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, but soon Li Shimin smiled and made a gesture to the generals to press down, and said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, this king just said that, if you can, this king doesn't want to use that kind of drastic means!" Okay, let's discuss today's matter here for the time being, and please prepare more when you go back, we are likely to send troops to Taiyuan in a short time! ”

"Whoa!" This time, the generals no longer objected to Li Shimin's proposal to send troops to Taiyuan, but were very positive about this suggestion, and soon, the generals each received a task from Li Shimin and then retreated. And in the end, in the entire study, only Li Shimin and Liu Shili were still sitting in their respective positions!

"Huh!" After all the generals were gone, Liu Shili suddenly smiled, just sat there, looked at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "The prince is really a good method!" Our Xiaoyaomen gave up Wang Shichong and chose the prince, which is really a wise move! These words can mobilize the enthusiasm of the generals so well, which is enough to show how high the status of the prince is among the generals! At least, these people should be loyal to the prince! ”

"Humph!" Hearing Liu Shili's words, Li Shimin snorted coldly, stood up directly, and slowly walked in front of Liu Shili, staring at Liu Shili with his eyes, and snorted in a deep voice: "You say so now, when one day, you find a chess piece that is better than this king, and you will discard this king like an abandoned child!" Hmph, it's like you treat Wang Shichong! ”

"Huh!" Regarding Li Shimin's questioning, Liu Shili didn't have the slightest meaning of explanation, but just sat there steadily, slowly sipping the tea in the cup, and waited for a long time before saying to Li Shimin: "So! If the prince doesn't want to be an outcast, then he has to work harder! Judging from the current situation, although we are still very optimistic about the prince, but in the situation, Li Jiancheng has the upper hand? ”

Regarding Liu Shili's words, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he changed several times in a row, but he pulled the topic away and said: "Do you have the specific military situation of Li Yuanji's defeat in Taiyuan?" Being able to defeat Li Yuanji, who has the help of Liu Hongji and Gongsun Wuda, is eighteen battles in a row, this Song Jingang is probably not easy to match, and this king needs to understand this person more clearly! ”

"Lord Wang, please rest assured!" Liu Shili slowly drank the last bit of tea in the teacup, and then took out a roaring letter from his arms, threw it away, but it fell steadily into Li Shimin's hands, and then, Liu Shili said with a smile: "From the first battle to the eighteenth battle, the detailed battle report of each battle is here!" The subordinates are here, so I wish you a victory! ”
