Chapter 149: Killing

In later generations, Li Xuan was always taught in books that the modern system was more advanced and civilized than the feudal system, and Li Xuan didn't care about it at that time. At this time, he accompanied Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to experience the changes of Xuanwumen, and Li Xuancai deeply realized the cruelty and bloodiness of the feudal system and the advanced and civilized modern system in later generations. At least the sin is not as good as the family, and the modern system of later generations is much better than the feudal system.

As soon as Zhang Liang and his party walked out of the slaughtered Prince's East Palace, a young man wearing a housekeeper's costume blocked Zhang Liang's way.

Zhang Liang waved the waist knife that was still bleeding in the air, and said to the visitor: "Who are you?" Aren't you afraid of death? ”

The young man smiled faintly and said, "My master hopes that Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu can lead the sergeant to the mansion where the left servant shoots Pei Lian. ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu couldn't help asking, "Who is your master?" What are we going to do at the mansion where the left servant shoots Pei Lian? ”

The young man replied loudly: "The master of my family is surnamed Changsun, and he is the elder brother of the eldest grandson of the crown princess, and the close minister and advisor of the crown prince. As for what you are going to do at the mansion where the left servant shot Pei Lian? Hehe......."

The young man did not answer, but looked at the bleeding waist knife in the hands of Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu immediately understood that the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to borrow the knife in their hands to slaughter the left servant and shoot Pei Lin Manmen. They secretly said in their hearts: "This eldest grandson Wuji's ambition is not small. The reason why he wanted to slaughter the left servant and shoot Pei Lone Manmen was for Pei Lone's position as the head of the Guanlong nobles, and the other was to kill the chicken to show the monkey and warn the other heads of the Guanlong nobles, the position of the head of the Guanlong nobility, his eldest grandson Wuji was going to be decided, who dared to stop it, and the left servant shot Pei Lone Manmen was the end of their family. The eldest grandson Wuji is so ruthless.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu both knew in their hearts that they were full of people who killed the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji, on the surface, Zhang Liang killed them in order to vent his anger, but in fact, they were doing things for the crown prince Li Shimin, they were just a knife in the hands of the crown prince. killed the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi King Yuanji Manmen, which was to eradicate the threat to the crown prince. Slaughtering the left servant and shooting Pei Lin all over the door, that's different. This is for his eldest grandson Wuji, they are a knife in the hands of the crown prince Li Shimin, and it is not his eldest grandson Wuji, in case of slaughtering the left servant and shooting Pei Lin Manmen, which makes the crown prince unhappy, the crown prince will never allow disobedient knives, that is, they are alive.

The young man smiled contemptuously at Zhang Liang, and said secretly in his heart: "Zhang Liang is a person who is loyal on the outside, treacherous on the inside, cruel in his methods, and good at observing words and feelings. But he still can't escape, in the hands of my master. ”

The young man smiled at Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu and said: "The crown prince is about to ascend the throne and become the emperor, with the relationship between my family and the crown prince as both friends and relatives, my family will definitely be reused by the crown prince." Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu, if they do this for my family, my family will definitely speak a lot of kind words for the two adults by the side of the crown prince in the future, and promote the two adults; If the two adults don't do this, it will make my family unhappy, and I'm afraid that the two adults will want to have a good life in the future, and it will be impossible. ”

Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu were taken aback, they knew their own situation. Since ancient times, there has been no one in the court, and it is difficult to be an official. Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu have a weak foundation in the Tang Dynasty, they are not subordinate to the three major political and military forces, and they have no backers of their own, so they all rely on their own choices and hard work again and again. The young man's words must represent the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji. It is both a co-optation and a threat. If they are willing to do things for his eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji will be their backer in the court in the future, and if they are unwilling, the eldest grandson Wuji has his own means to set them up, so that they can't survive or die.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu glanced at each other. The eldest grandson Wuji is not only the friend of the crown prince Li Shimin, the two have a deep friendship, and they are also the prince's confidant and adviser, the crown prince obeys his words, he is also the elder brother of the crown princess Changsun, and the nephew of Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry. Once the crown prince ascends to the throne, with the scheming methods of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji will inevitably rise to prominence, and the official will be the chief assistant. On the one hand, he killed an outdated left servant who didn't have much ability to shoot Pei Lone, and exchanged it for a future court chief assistant as a backer, enjoying all the glory and wealth; On the one hand, he was full of people who did not kill Pei Lonely, offended a future court minister, and ended up depressed all his life. Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu will naturally know how to choose.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu said to the young man: "Please tell your master, please rest assured." ”

After that, Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu walked out of the palace and went to the mansion of the left servant Pei Lian.

Hearing the shouts and screams of the left servant shooting Pei Lone's mansion one after another, the young man turned around and left with a smile.

In Taiji Palace, a sergeant came to report that Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu were shooting Pei Lian's mansion on the left and carrying out a massacre.

The crown prince Li Shimin was slightly surprised, and he looked at Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji.

Gao Shilian was at a loss. The eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to stand up and said to the crown prince Li Shimin: "Your Highness, the left servant Pei Lin has always boasted that he is a diehard loyalist against the crown prince, and he has deceived His Highness for a long time. The Guanlong nobles controlled the left and right armies, and Pei Lin was no longer suitable for Guanlong to be in charge. The minister suggested that it should be removed in order to prevent future troubles. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should arrange another henchman to be the chief of the Guanlong nobles, and control the left and right military guards for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Crown Prince Li Shimin groaned. Pei Lin is a person who is very disgusted. has no ability, relying on whiskers to shoot the horse to achieve the high position of the left servant, and he is against himself everywhere. I have long wanted to get rid of this person, but it is rare that the eldest grandson Wuji let people do it and get rid of him. It's just that Pei Lin is his father's henchman after all, what will his father think at this time? Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing the sergeant's report, Zhang Liang and Zhang Jinshu were massacring Pei Lian's mansion with the left servant. Tang Emperor Li Yuan was furious, but he was helpless. His own son and grandson can't be protected by himself, can he protect a Pei Lin who is incapable? He looked helpless, scared of his thighs, and sighed lamentingly.

Crown Prince Li Shimin immediately understood. His father had already given up on Pei Lian. So, he asked the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, you did it." Who do you think is suitable to be the chief of the Guanlong aristocracy? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Wuji thinks that except for the minister's uncle and the secretary Gao Shilian, no one is more suitable for this position. ”

Li Shimin looked at Gao Shilian, who was born in the Longxi Gao family, a group of Guanlong nobles, and was not only his confidant, but also the official secretary of the imperial court. Loyalty and prestige are good, but Li Shimin feels that Gao Shilian is not suitable to be the head of the Guanlong nobles, his ability and scheming are too weak, but the eldest grandson Wuji standing beside Gao Shilian is more suitable.

Li Shimin did not express his attitude, but waited for news outside the palace.
