Chapter 25: Convincing the Righteous Brother
Time flies, and soon it is the first day of June in the ninth year of Tang Wude. And today, the platinum star in the sky appears in the sky due south during the day, which means that the sky is about to change for the superstitious ancients. And Chen Fei also knew that the Xuanwumen Mutiny was only a few days away, according to historical records, it was the fourth day of the sixth month, that is, three days later. And Chen Fei also knew that in the next two days, the eldest grandson Wuji would ask Chen Fei to persuade his righteous brother Chang He to choose to help Li Shimin achieve great things.
"The eldest grandson Langzhong is looking for you and asks you to go to General Chang He's mansion to help us convince General Chang He." A person from the Qin Palace's mansion said.
And Chen Fei also knew that the time had come for the eldest grandson Wuji to use himself, so he couldn't help Chen Fei refuse, so he followed those people to Chang He's mansion. And Chen Fei also walked in, and found that Chang He didn't say a word at home, obviously as if someone had come to woo him.
"Brother-in-law? What are you doing here? Chang He asked.
And Chen Fei immediately asked very interestingly: "Big brother, have you encountered any troubles recently?" ”
And Chang He took the initiative to say: "Nothing, you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Big brother, we are brothers, is there anything to hide from me? If you have something, I, as your brother-in-law, won't be better! Chen Fei said.
Of course, Chen Fei knew what Chang He was thinking, and it should be Li Shimin who sent someone to woo Chang He, but Chang He didn't know whether he should agree to Li Shimin. After all, now Chang He is the crown prince Li Jiancheng's person, if he takes refuge in Li Shimin and helps Li Shimin to play mutiny, then I am afraid there is really no choice. So Chang He hesitated, on one side was the extremely risky wealth, and on the other side was the prince's side, and Chang He didn't know how to choose.
"Big brother, are you worried about the affairs of King Qin and the crown prince?" Chen Fei asked.
"How do you know?" Chang He was surprised.
And Chen Fei said helplessly and honestly: "Big brother, I am the lobbyist sent by King Qin!" ”
"You're a lobbyist? Is it a lobbyist for the King of Qin? Chang He exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm a lobbyist. That guy from the eldest grandson Wuji actually pulled me into the water, and I had no choice but to go one way to the dark. Chen Fei also said with a wry smile.
Chen Fei knew that sooner or later this matter would have to be clarified, anyway, saying it earlier and saying it later would be the same thing. Therefore, Chen Fei directly made it clear that he didn't play anything with Chang He to ambush, so Chang He couldn't accept it.
"Why are you messing around with King Qin's people?" Chang He asked.
"Because I am the eldest brother and your brother-in-law, King Qin has set his sights on me!" Chen Fei said.
"This ......"
Chang He understood, although Chang He didn't have much culture, he also knew a lot about the problems in it. That is, Chang He himself is the guard of the Xuanwu Gate at the north gate of the palace, and Li Shimin wants to carry out a mutiny in the Xuanwu Gate, so it is naturally inseparable from Chang He's support. But because Chen Fei was his brother-in-law, he was dragged into the water by King Qin. All of this is caused by Chang He's identity, so this is where we are today.
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me, right?" Chang He asked.
"That's right, it seems that the eldest brother has been learning quite fast in the past few months!" Chen Fei said.
Chang He was helpless, and made his butt on the chair. Now his brother-in-law is actually his own master, and Chang He is the person of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin also came to win them over. Although Chen Fei didn't know how Li Shimin persuaded Chang He in history, now the task of persuading Chang He has to be handed over to him. However, Chen Fei knew that Li Shimin might have a backhand, and as for what Li Shimin's backhand was, Chen Fei didn't know. However, as long as Chen Fei knows that he is not fighting alone, Li Shimin will not pin all his hopes on Chen Fei. And Chen Fei doesn't care what Li Shimin's backhand is, as long as he does his own thing.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll help King Qin! Helping the King of Qin may be very risky, but the wealth is also very great. Since you are already a member of King Qin, then I have nothing to say, we can only be brothers and sisters. If it fails this time, the big deal is the same as the original vow, not to be born on the same day, the same month, but to die on the same day, the same month, the same year. Chang He immediately agreed.
And Chen Fei was speechless, which made Chang He attach so much importance to this so-called friendship of sworn brothers. In fact, Chen Fei didn't attach too much importance to this kind of relationship, but Chang He regarded it as more important than life. And this kind of friendship is probably very rare in later generations. Chen Fei didn't know what to say for a while, Chang He attached so much importance to this friendship, but Chen Fei had nothing to give back to Chang He, and he had to let him take the risk to participate in the Xuanwumen Change. Perhaps, this is also the discipline of the ancients who emphasized righteousness and neglected life, but later generations don't know where to throw it.
And soon, the eldest grandson Wuji soon came.
"General Chang He, if you can join us, it will be like a tiger for us! And Chen Fei's joining the army is also a talent, and with the help of the two of them, King Qin can be a big thing! The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji said good things at this time, but the eldest grandson Wuji would never admit that he had found Chang He's long-lost son. Chang He had a dewy love affair with a woman in troubled times, and then that woman gave birth to a son. Eldest Sun Wuji has not been paying attention to Chang He for a day or two, of course, he is prepared. If Chang He didn't join, he would inevitably have to use this to threaten him. Politics is so dirty, anyway, the real history is definitely much more cruel than the history on paper.
But now that Chang He has supported Li Shimin, the king of Qin, under Chen Fei's persuasion, there is nothing to say. When the time comes, the big thing will be done, and then Chang He's son will be returned to him, which can play a role in buying people's hearts. Now the eldest grandson Wuji has come to be a good person, and the abnormal He currently does not know that his son has fallen into the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji is doing dirty work for Li Shimin.
"You two, pay attention to the situation in Xuanwu Gate during this time, and if there is any abnormal phenomenon, you must report it in time, do you know? As for the specific plan, I won't tell you until the day before. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Okay!" Chen Fei said.
Anyway, this kind of actual plan of action would not have been said so early. Once the secrecy is not achieved, it is easy to go wrong. Therefore, many battle plans will not be issued until the end of the day, and this is also common sense in the army.
