Drinking alcohol is a very miraculous thing, people who want to get drunk will not pour a thousand glasses, and people who want to drink two more glasses will get drunk when they get drunk.

"Five-flowered horses, daughters and horses, Huhe will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you." Ma Zhou was still shouting to drink another three hundred cups with everyone, but the person had already been dragged out like a dead dog by the guards beside him.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were envious at the same time, thinking that if they were so good, they would be drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, and they would feel nothing.

There are more than a dozen people in front of the road, and more than a dozen people in the back to protect them, but Fang Du and the two are not afraid to walk on the road, and they are not afraid of being robbed by someone who is not long-sighted. But they were uneasy, and they were all involved in the affairs of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, early this morning.

Maybe he drank a little too much, Fang Xuanling was very clear but he was still frivolous, and he and Du Ruhui supported each other.

"Back then, Your Majesty let King Qin drive straight into Chang'an, and I knew that he must have a strategy to break the enemy, and I have followed Your Majesty for a long time, and I still have some understanding of his temperament. If Your Majesty is not confident, this will not be the case, I will privately advise Your Majesty, saying that it is better to kill the King of Qin than to forgive the King of Qin. It is better to borrow the prestige of King Qin to appease everyone and make a smooth transition. Fang Xuanling said.

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling and said in a low voice: "You saved King Qin's life, and there is nothing to be sorry for him, why do you also have a depressed face?"

"It was also me who quietly contacted Xu Jingzong, and when I was in the Qin Palace, I saw that this person was hungry for profit, and he valued profit over righteousness. King Qin suffered one setback after another, and he was certainly not a person worthy of allegiance to him, and it was not difficult to convince him to betray King Qin. Fang Xuanling said, feeling very ashamed of King Qin in his heart.

Du Ruhui smiled in a long tone: "What are you?" It's still a little worse than me. ”

"What did you do?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"A few days ago, His Majesty summoned me privately, and on that day he told me that the King of Qin should not get rid of the difficulty in his heart, and Aiqing has a good plan. Look at what you asked, for I have a good plan. What do you want me to say, that I don't? I was a defeated general, but now I am one of the five members of the cabinet, and I am very honored. If I don't have a good plan, the position is not guaranteed, and the life is not guaranteed. Du Ruhui said.

Fang Xuanling exclaimed, "What Your Majesty did today was your idea?"

"I guess so!" Du Ruhui said helplessly.

"Yes, what do you mean?"

"I just said to Your Majesty that it is not difficult to reassure the people by killing the King of Qin, but it is possible to reduce his prince to the rank of commoner. If there is this private hiding of soldiers and armor, where can the inexplicably disappearing Xuanjia elite soldiers hide in the Qin Palace! But I never expected that His Majesty would do it so quickly, but it was only three or two days of work. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "You said that Your Majesty didn't kill King Qin, is it really because of your idea?"

"What do you mean?" Du Ruhui asked.

"As you said, what Your Majesty said was that I felt uneasy if I didn't kill King Qin, but King Qin is still not dead."

"But he has no official and no title, and there is no longer a threat."

Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "Those who followed him, there are not many people who defected when King Qin surrendered, but some of them did not leave because of King Qin's failure. That Wei Chi Jingde and Luo Shixin are the best proof that these people will not leave the King of Qin because he has no prince. What's even worse is that King Qin has been in charge of Luoyang for many years, but the Luoyang treasury is empty, and it is more heaven and earth than Wang Shichong. Where did all that belongings go? These are all things that His Majesty can see, and according to His Majesty's thoughts, he will not give up easily. ”

Du Ruhui said: "You mean, Your Majesty has just begun, and there are tricks ahead."

"This is just the beginning, King Qin and Princess Pingyang have already been recruited, wait, it must not be over yet. His Majesty kept King Qin and did not kill him, there must still be a purpose. ”

Du Ruhui sighed and said: "You and I are ashamed of King Qin, even if it is forced by the situation, we can feel ashamed." If he can, he can still help!"

Fang Xuanling nodded yes, and didn't say much. At the intersection, two people went home, one left and one right.

Why, exactly? King Qin's crime today is that His Majesty killed him, and it is not impossible. After more than a year of hard work, all parts of Datang have been stabilized, and the military power is firmly controlled by His Majesty's henchmen, even if someone will oppose it, it can be extinguished overnight. But His Majesty still didn't kill King Qin, there must be something in it that he didn't understand.

Is it because His Majesty once killed Li Yuanji, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to block the mouth of the people if he killed Li Shimin again? It's not right, whether it's Li Yuanji or Li Shimin, there is a reasonable reason for killing them, and it is not a brutal and unkind act, and it is difficult to establish this if you are worried.

Fang Xuanling, who was alone, couldn't figure out why Li Chengzong was at all.

In Princess Pingyang's mansion, Li Xiuning was also drinking but was not drunk. Seeing Li Xiuning like this, Chai Shao not only did not dissuade him, but snickered in his heart. It's not that he fell into the ground, but that Li Xiuning has done too much in recent days, and has repeatedly contradicted Li Chengzong, in case he really annoys Li Chengzong one day, it is not a trivial matter. It's better to stay at home with a husband and children, and you don't have to worry about anything.

"I can see clearly, Li Chengzong is a villain who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge."

"How can you say that? It was you who offended Your Majesty today, and he took your official seal. Chai Shao thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had sent away the people around the yard early in the morning, otherwise he would have taken the lives of his entire family in the coming day.

"You know what? He had premeditated it, and he had long planned to use my hand to carry out his method of reforming the army. Now that the 400,000 troops inside and outside Datang are in his hands, he can naturally kick me away. Li Xiuning's words are true, she is Li Shimin's sister, and she is the one who risked her life to save Li Shimin that day, but in the eyes of Li Shimin's faction, she is trustworthy. It was based on this that Li Chengzong let her take the position of the first minister of the military government first, avoiding a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Chai Shao comforted: "Your Majesty borrowed your hand to appease many of King Qin's subordinates, which proves that you are very prestigious and capable. There have been countless heroes throughout the ages, but how many of them are women? How many can become the ministers of a country?"

"Are you comforting? It's better not to say it. Li Xiuning said and slammed the wine glass on the table.

Chai Shao said: "You can rest assured, whether it is Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, now they are all in power, your goal has been achieved, and none of them have died." This is already very good, thinking about the years ago, you fought to the death for so long, such an ending is already very good. ”

Li Xiuning said: "What I'm afraid of is that Li Chengzong will still make a move."

Chai Shao said: "I don't think so, killing King Qin today is the best opportunity." Since His Majesty doesn't do it, he won't do it again. (To be continued.) )
