Facing Li Shimin's question, Du He nodded lightly.

The change of Xuanwumen, this kind of moment that changed history, as a teacher of the history department, how could Du He not know?

This is the most thrilling battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the two brothers, and it is also a battle that determines the outcome of the battle.

Li Jiancheng is not as unbearable as the commentary says, on the contrary, he is very capable, if he is a king, or he cannot achieve such an achievement as Li Shimin, but he is also a promising king. His defeat was not due to his incompetence, but because he met Li Shimin, and his opponent was too strong.

In history, he and Li Shimin were one inside and one outside. Without Li Shimin, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to be unified, and without Li Jiancheng, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to achieve such brilliant achievements.

In later generations, Duhe, whenever he saw the historical materials of their brothers' battles, he would sigh secretly:

If any one of the two people is willing to take a step back, the brothers will inevitably become a story for the ages.

It's just a pity that Li Jiancheng has the ability to become a king, and he also has the ambition to become a king; Similarly, Li Shimin also has the ability to become a king, and he also has the ambition to become a king.

They are like two tigers on a mountain, and neither of them can tolerate the other.

Only the death of one person can end the struggle.

In the end, it was Li Shimin who won and won the world, but it also left him a bad reputation for killing his brother and brother in history.

For this matter, it has always been a taboo in Datang, and no one dares to talk about it in front of Li Shimin, but at this moment he personally mentioned it, which surprised Du He, and there was a faint thought in his heart, thinking: "Is this matter related to Li Jiancheng?" ”

Li Shimin's face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, and said quietly: "Back then, King Xi was in the rear to deal with government affairs, and I opened up territory in the front. The two of us have the support of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the support of the lieutenant generals and colonels! After the world was settled, I was canonized as the general of Tiance and ranked above the kings. The king fears my prestige in the army, and I fear the prestige of the king in the court. Each of them targets their weaknesses and begins to pull each other's strengths. At that time, King Xi showed strong financial resources, and even used a cart of gold and silver artifacts to win over General Wei Chi Jingde. So, he ordered someone to investigate secretly, and faintly noticed that in order to fight with me, King Xi had already begun to use his position many years ago to accumulate money and support the army by strengthening the army. It's just that their hands and feet are clean, and I have no solid evidence, so I don't want to say much. ”

"Later......" Li Shimin paused at this point, and continued: "We intensified, and King Xi used his power in the court to force away my right-hand men, that is, your father and your uncle, and transferred away the army in my hands. At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous, and I could only fight to the death with the remaining 100 people around me. In the end, I became the emperor and did not find out the whereabouts of the money and goods accumulated by King Xi, and even I felt that I was suspicious, and the matter was over. ”

Du He naturally knew that the King of Xi in Li Shimin's mouth was Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin posthumously named him King Xi after he ascended the throne, and he also knew what happened at that time, but he couldn't think of these things that were not recorded in the history books.

"Uncle Li, is this suspected that those gold and silver were saved by King Xi?" Du He's expression changed slightly, if this is the case, it would be unusual. Previously, he suspected that someone was planning a rebellion, but after all, it was a speculation without any basis. If those gold and silver were saved by Li Jiancheng back then, then it was obvious that the mysterious gang was Li Jiancheng's people, and the purpose of their money was naturally to recruit troops and make enemies of Li Shimin again.

"Quite possibly!" Li Shimin's expression was also very serious, "I still remember at this moment that most of the people you live in are the prince's henchmen, especially Luo Yi, who is even better, and only General Qin Qiong can defeat him in my Tiance army, even General Wei Chi will lose to him." Today's Pei Mansion is likely to be Luo Yi's mansion. I can't say for sure, but as far back as I can remember, the two sides were very close to each other. ”

Du He knew that Li Shimin's words were equivalent to confirming this fact, because it could not be so much coincidence. It's just that from beginning to end, he still doesn't understand a little.

If you want to go against the emperor Li Shimin, you must be justified. Although they may be Li Jiancheng's subordinates, their status is not enough to rebel against Li Shimin, unless he has Li Jiancheng's direct descendants to fight against Li Shimin in his name.

"But it can't be, right?"

The historical records are clear, in order to avoid further turmoil in the future, all of Li Jiancheng's sons were killed by Li Shimin, and there should be no descendants.

"Then what does Uncle Li want to do?" He was puzzled in his heart and wanted to hear how Li Shimin decided.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I don't know what these thieves rely on, but I will never allow them to continue to be presumptuous. ”

At this moment, his heart was also full of doubts, and what Du He thought of, he naturally would not be unable to imagine. Since Li Jiancheng's group intends to make a comeback, they must have relied on it, so his words are full of murderous intent.

Because that's what worries him the most.

He was the person concerned, and no one knew the situation better than him: at that time, Li Jiancheng had already made a move, and he asked Li Yuan to force himself to disband the think tank under his command, and let Li Yuanji replace him to lead the Tiance army to the Turks. As long as the soldiers and horses leave, they will lose all their security. Li Jiancheng can't tolerate himself, just as he can't tolerate Li Jiancheng.

Faced with this situation of either you die or I die, Li Shimin chose to launch a coup d'état.

Of course, this move was a last resort, but no matter what you say, it can't change the fact that he, Li Shimin, launched a coup d'état in front of Li Jiancheng, killed his brother and killed his brother, and was unjust.

If someone uses this as an excuse to bring out Li Jiancheng's descendants and denounce his crimes, this move will inevitably cause a strong public opinion offensive, which will make the people of the world panic and the Tang Dynasty fall into turmoil.

Although Li Shimin is not afraid of those clowns who jump off the beam, but let the other party make this trouble, he wants to set the northern land, dominate the Silk Road, and recover Liaodong, and the plan to fight Goguryeo will be seriously damaged due to turmoil.

Du He on the side can also understand Li Shimin's feelings at the moment, the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin is the winner, but he is in a completely disadvantageous position in public opinion. They Datang are not of an alien race, and the alien race advocates strength, so they don't taboo this at all. Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to the word "righteousness", and paid attention to righteousness. It is contrary to the general righteousness, people's minds change, and the people are precisely one of the most easily deceived people.

With the current strength of Datang, the power of public opinion is not enough to bring them destruction, but can it bring them a heavy blow.

This is what Li Shimin does not want to see, and of course it is also what he Du He does not want to see.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and his hot gaze fell on Du He's body, "Come with me!" ”

He should go first.

Du He muttered in his heart, but also followed.

The two of them came to the temple of manna one after the other.

Li Shimin took a yellow-white holy decree from the desk, wrote it straight, and then read it himself: "The loyal military general Zuo Weiwei Zhonglang will come forward to listen to the decree of Du He, the son of Wannian County!" ”

Du He took a step forward, bent down and bowed: "Minister, Du He listens to the order!" ”

"Du Aiqing, the thief is here, and he wants to mess with my Datang, I will give you full authority to deal with this matter, and you have a special order, as long as everything related to the destruction of that behind-the-scenes organization, you can decide for yourself, and give you the power to call five thousand flying horses and cut first and then play at will...... Whatever you do, be sure to eradicate them all. ”

Du He was stunned when he heard it, in the Tang Dynasty, military generals were not allowed to move troops and horses at will, and this alone was enough for him to walk sideways in Chang'an, not to mention making his own decisions and cutting first and then playing.

This is a power that only the minister of the Imperial Mission has!

Du He's hands trembled excitedly, and he was also a little scared, Li Shimin's burden was too heavy, you must know that his current apparent age is only sixteen years old. At the age of sixteen, he has the power of life and death!

"I'm afraid I can't hold it when I'm young!"

Li Shimin walked down from the hall with the holy decree, came to Du He step by step, and said, "I also had this consideration before deciding to make this holy decree. I fear that you will not be able to bear this burden, that you are young and that you have been so instructed to do something wrong. But then I remembered the whole thing, how you peeled back the cocoon from the beginning of curiosity and suspicion, step by step to discover their secrets, and then found the gold and silver buried deep under the mansion, which showed great wisdom and bravery, I believe you will be able to take on this heavy responsibility...... You see, this decree is not my extra kindness to you, let alone my favor in you, but because of your talents, your performance, I have made this decree. He put the decree into Duho's hand.

Li Shimin is good at winning people's hearts, not to mention these sincere words, Du He only felt full of excitement, and the feeling of dying as a confidant emerged in his heart, and he said loudly: "Since Uncle Li looks up to the kid so much, the kid will never live up to his uncle's high expectations!" ”

He raised the decree aloft and roared, "Lord, thank you!" ”

Li Shimin also knew that Du He might not be the best choice, but this matter should not be known to others, so he was the most suitable choice, seeing his next holy decree, he let out a long laugh and said, "I am waiting for your good news!" ”

Duhe took the decree into his bosom and strode away. At the moment of leaving the hall, Li Shimin suddenly called out to him: "Stinky boy, I am really happy that you can come today, very happy." Datang has a loyal and honest minister like you, which is the blessing of my Datang...... Don't worry, I, Li Shimin, will never live up to you! In the latter sentence, he said the faint sound of mosquitoes, even Du He himself did not hear it.
