Chapter 1219 Adding fuel to the fire

The night is already very deep, but the area of Dongshi and Pingkangfang is still brightly lit, sheng song and Yan dance, particularly lively, although the Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui system when it was established, and closed the door after dark, but in fact this provision has existed in name only, the city gate is of course closed, controlled by the army, and it is impossible to enter and exit the city without a special pass certificate, but the gate can not be controlled, the powerful return late, who dares not to open the door, and the poor people go out at night There is no point, many doors are basically left a gap, so that the people who return at night can open freely, After a while when Xuanwu Jingwei strictly inspected Chang'an, as Xuanwu Jingwei relaxed control, Fangmen returned to normal at night.

The lobby on the first and second floors is full, and the IELTS on the third and fourth floors are also full of drinkers, since the beginning of the year, the hot business momentum has not stopped, but the big proprietor Lu Tong has not made much money, and it is embarrassing to say, Li Shentong does not invest a penny, and he has won three percent of the wine store for nothing, but he has to share eighty percent of the profits, but this has also brought Li Shentong the convenience of not interfering in the operation of the wine store.

At this time, the big proprietor Lu Tong was inviting guests to dinner in a private room on the far side of the fourth floor, and the invitation to dinner was just an excuse, and several subordinates were playing fists in the room, covering up the conversation between Lu Ping, Gao Jin and Luo Yumin with a loud and noisy sound.

The result of the prince's case was beyond Lu Ping's expectations, and the momentum of the original deposed prince hit like a storm, but the final result was that the prince was demoted to the crown prince, and it seemed that even the Yongxian assassination case would not be over.

Luo Yumin said with a smile: "Li Yuan's character, on the surface, is generous and kind, but secretly he is a baht, he was assassinated for the first time in his life, and he almost lost his life, how could he not do it?" Now it's just calm on the water, but below is the rapids, and today I did something for Li Li Yuanji. ”

Luo Yumin told the two of them in detail about his trip to Yin Arat's Mansion today, and Gao Jin suddenly slapped the table and said, "This plan is vicious!" is preparing to transfer the assassination case to Li Shimin's head. ”

Lu Ping frowned, "Those three night pearls were copied from Dugu Mansion, isn't this equivalent to telling Li Yuan that they were the beads sent by Li Yuanji?" ”

"It's really not like this, the reason why Li Yuanji gave those three beads and didn't give away anything else is because the three night pearls have long been missing, and they weren't copied by Li Yuanji, as for how it got into Li Yuanji's hands, I don't know very well, it seems to have something to do with Yu Shiji, Cui Wenxiang is such a shrewd person, he won't make such a childish mistake."

Gao Jin asked on the side, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said: "The Holy Lord has set a principle for us to try to help Li Yuanji ascend to the throne, so we will also help Li Yuanji this time." ”

"So what do we do?"

"It's very simple, make up a proverb, and make a good omen, indicating that King Qin will be the crown prince."

"Will it be too much and counterproductive?" Gao Jin asked worriedly.

Lu Ping said with a smile: "The key is that Concubine Yin De blew a lot of pillow wind and said good things about Li Shimin, then Rui Zhao's proverb is to cooperate with Yin Defei's intercession, but Yin Defei didn't dare to accept the night pearl and betrayed Li Shimin, so Rui Zhao's proverb proves the authenticity of this matter anyway, and also proves Li Shimin's ambition, Li Yuan will naturally link the suicide case to Li Shimin, Li Shenfu was ambushed before, and there is no explanation for this matter!" Will Li Yuan forget? ”

Luo Yumin gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still General Lu who can see it thoroughly!" ”

.........

Cui Wenxiang's strategy is really vicious, that night, Concubine Yin Defei dedicated the night pearl to the son of heaven Li Yuan, saying that it was the king of Qin Li Shimin sent someone to her father's house, she did not dare to accept this treasure in the world, when Li Yuan asked Li Shimin why he sent the night pearl, Concubine Yin Defei said that the king of Qin wanted to be the prince.

Li Yuan only decided in the morning not to abolish Li Jiancheng's crown prince, but only demoted the crown prince to the crown prince, Li Shimin would definitely not know so quickly, plus at least five or six days from Longyou, it shows that Li Shimin has already decided to abolish the crown prince.

Li Yuan suddenly doubted in his heart, thinking that there was already a precedent for the second son to send someone to ambush Li Shenfu last year, could it be that the assassination in Yongxian County was secretly arranged by Qin and blamed on the prince, could it be that the steel needle in the East Palace was also the fault of King Qin?

If he is unfortunately assassinated, of course, it is the greatest benefit of the prince, but if you think about it carefully, if the king of Qin shouts that Huang Lu is the prince's person, it is the prince who assassinates the saint, and there is evidence that the prince poisoned the king of Chu and the East Palace has a steel needle, Chang'an will inevitably be chaotic, and the king of Qin led a large army into the pass, and it is unknown who this throne is.

Li Yuan was originally a little suspicious of Li Yuanji, but Concubine Yin Defei sacrificed the night pearl to make Li Yuan wake up like a dream, and the real tiger turned out to be hidden deeply!

Early the next morning, Li Yuan sent people to the streets to inquire, and sure enough, he heard a lot of children's songs, what 'Ermuzi, and the world', what the East China Sea produced a little dragon king, not for the eldest for the second time', etc., and even someone dug up a jade turtle in the small river in front of the Qin Wangfu, it seems that the jade turtle worships the Qin Wangfu.

In Li Yuan's view, these nursery rhymes Rui Zhao are obviously to cooperate with Princess Yin's momentum and smash the silent mask of the second son Li Shimin.

Li Yuan was suddenly furious, he already had seven points of belief that the assassination was committed by his second son Li Shimin, and only three points were left to suspect that it was done by the prince, but if Li Yuan wanted Li Yuan to rehabilitate Li Jiancheng, it was absolutely impossible, but Li Yuan still showed a little leniency, and ordered that Li Jiancheng's children be sent to the East Palace, so that their family could be reunited, and the surveillance of the dormitory was revoked.

.......

In the afternoon, Li Yuan was listening to Li Shentong's army training report, and the Zhou Dynasty truces for a year, Li Yuan's greatest hope is to expand the army and train the army, but their territory is too small, and the 200,000 army is already the limit, and they can't expand the army anymore, so they can only retreat to the next best thing, and can refine an elite army to compete with the Zhou Dynasty's army.

Although Li Shentong boasted in front of the Son of Heaven, saying how elite his army was and how high his morale was, many high-ranking officials in the imperial court knew that whether the army was elite or not depended on the commander, a mediocre commander could not train an elite army with iron fighting, and Li Shentong was just a mediocre person who could no longer be mediocre, but Li Xiaogong's 20,000 Han Zhong Army and Li Shimin's 60,000 Longyou Army did become elite.

As for the high morale, it is true, it is the result of the Tang Dynasty's implementation of the military merit land system, and the money and rewards are basically stripped and intercepted at all levels, and there is no share of the small soldiers, but the land is different, the small soldiers at the bottom can be allocated to the land, and they naturally have the enthusiasm to fight and make meritorious contributions, and the morale is of course high.

Li Shentong also knew that training was not good, so he desperately talked about morale, as if morale was trained by him.

Just as Li Shentong was describing the training scene of the army, a eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu asks to see you!" ”

"Let him in!"

The eunuch went out to call someone, and Li Yuan asked Li Shendao with a smile: "Second brother, what do you think of Yuanji?" ”

Li Shentong's heart jumped, could it be that the Holy Lord wanted to establish Yuanji as the crown prince, and when he thought about it, he knew that it was impossible, with the crown prince there to block it, no one should think about it.

He smiled and said: "Yuanji does not have the wisdom of the people, nor does he have the prince's ability to serve in the city, frankly speaking, it is relatively mediocre, but when I interact with the King of Qi, I feel a 'true' word, whether he is lustful or cruel, whether he is generous to his subordinates or generous, he is reckless, and there is no need to rack his brains with him." ”

This evaluation is not high, but it is very in line with Li Yuan's needs at this time, he nodded, "You are right, he is such a person." ”

At this time, Li Yuanji walked in quickly, Li Shentong also said goodbye and left, Li Yuanji knelt down and saluted, "Sons and daughters meet their father!" ”

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Yuan took out a report and asked: "This is the last report of your trip to copy the Guanlong Noble Manor, I compared your list with the list of Dali Temple, and found that some precious things were missing, such as the phoenix jade of the Dou family, the topaz screen of the Hou Mochen family, and the ten famous swords of the Yu family, I want to know what is going on?" ”

Li Yuanji's heart jumped, could it be for the three night pearls? No, it won't! The night pearl was not obtained by stealing the family, maybe it was the three night pearls that reminded my father of this matter.

Li Yuanji took out a clear scroll from his arms, presented it on the table with both hands, knelt down and said: "Erchen is guilty, he took some favorite things privately, this is the list, Erchen is here to confess his guilt to his father today." ”

This is the role of the eunuch Zhao Dezhong, last night the Son of Heaven was personally checking the two lists, he called the police to Li Yuanji in time, and Li Yuanji could only confess in time.

Li Yuan picked up the scroll and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I'll just say it!" How did those things grow wings and fly, it turned out that they were all here with you, and you had a lot of vision and picked the best things. ”

"Erchen will send them to the treasury immediately."

Li Yuan smiled: "I know that you have a lot of money and a lot of expenses, but these things are too precious to be rewarded to outsiders at will, so be it!" You send things into the Imperial Treasury, and then pick something ordinary from the Imperial Treasury, understand? ”

"Erchen understands that if his father can reward the ten famous swords of the Yu family to Erchen, Erchen really likes them."

"Yes, I've got you covered."

"Thank you, Father!"
