The mansion of the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng.

After Wei Zheng saw the crown prince Li Shimin, he said coldly: "You can pardon us, the crown prince built, the old department of Qi Wang Yuanji, and the prince is buried in a thick manner, Qi Wang Yuanji, which proves that you are not incurable." ”

Li Shimin's face was displeased, and he reprimanded: "Wei Zheng, are you guilty? Before, why did you repeatedly provoke the relationship between me and the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji? Dividing the feelings between our brothers? ”

Li Xuan looked at Wei Zheng with a little worry. According to his understanding of Li Shimin, Li Shimin must have been very angry in his heart when he said this.

Wei Zheng didn't have any fear, but took a step forward, narrowed his eyes and said, "If the crown prince had been able to listen to my advice earlier, there would definitely be no disaster in front of the Xuanwu Gate." ”

Li Shimin didn't expect that at this time, Wei Zheng was still so strong. Li Shimin's momentum couldn't help but leak, and said: "Wei Zheng, I didn't quarrel with you when I came here alone. When Gu first ascended to the throne, everything was not in harmony, and Lone wanted to ask you, would you like to assist Lone? ”

Wei Zheng also took a step back and said, "Wei Zheng is not a pedantic person. If you have a heart for the community and the people, I will assist you. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Sheji is my Li Tang's Sheji; The people are also lonely people; How could Lone not care about them? ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin and said, "That is the case, Wei Zheng is willing to serve." ”

Li Shimin hurriedly helped Wei Zheng up, and the two talked happily.

Leaving Wei Zheng's mansion, Li Shimin said to Li Xuan: "Wei Zheng has an upright personality and excellent resourcefulness, but his temper is too stubborn. Gotta find a way to beat him, do you have a plan? ”

Li Xuan replied: "If Your Highness just knocks Wei Zheng, Weichen is willing to support it." But if what Wei Zheng does is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people, I hope His Royal Highness will be able to support it at that time. ”

Li Shimin readily agreed: "As long as what he Wei Zheng does is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people, Gu will definitely give his full support." ”

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Since His Highness said so, then I will offer a plan." I heard that Qin Qiong's Zuo Xiaowei army relied on the Xuanwu Gate to make contributions to His Royal Highness, and recently often went to the homes of officials and wealthy families who were attached to King Jiancheng of Xi and King Yuanji of Hailing to blackmail and blackmail, making the imperial capital Chang'an a miasma, and cursing again and again. If His Royal Highness issued an edict, let Wei Zheng serve as the marching Sima of Zuo Xiaowei's army, and be responsible for rectifying the military discipline of Zuo Xiaowei's army. One is Wei Zheng, who is upright and refuses to admit defeat, and the other is the most unruly Zuo Xiaowei army, and it will definitely be interesting if they meet. ”

Hearing Li Xuan's strategy, Li Shimin also said with a wicked smile: "This is interesting. I'm really looking forward to it, how did that stubborn Wei Zheng reason with Zuo Xiaowei's army? When Wei Zheng fled back from Zuo Xiaowei's army, it was not too late to rectify Zuo Xiaowei's army. In the imperial capital, blackmail and blackmail, Zuo Xiaowei's army is too lawless. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Zheng, who had just been appointed, borrowed a team of soldiers from Feng Li, the commander of the six guards of the former crown prince's East Palace, and then began to arrest and extort officials who were attached to Xiwang Jiancheng and Hailing Wang Yuanji, and Zuo Xiaowei, a wealthy general.

More than ten people were all arrested and tied up by Wei Zheng to the intersection of Zhuque Street, the most prosperous in the imperial capital of Chang'an. In the face of the crowd of people coming and going, Wei Zheng announced their crimes on the spot, and then gave an order to behead all more than ten people for public display.

More than ten human heads with blood flowed freely, which silenced the people watching collectively and was shocked.

Zuo Xiaowei's battalion, a member of Zuo Xiaowei's general, said indignantly to Zuo Xiaowei's general Qin Qiong: "Wei Zheng, that puppet, has not yet arrived, and he dares to kill our brother first." Is he muddy when we are the left Xiaowei army? Our Zuo Xiaowei army made great contributions in the Xuanwumen Revolution two days ago, and assisted His Royal Highness the King of Qin to ascend the throne. We must cut him down. ”

"Yes, cut him, cut him. Bullying our Zuo Xiaowei, we must not let him go. The generals in the tent responded.

Qin Qiong looked at the camp tent, and the generals who were in turmoil stood up and said: "Wei Zheng is bold, those Zuo Xiaowei generals who were killed by him, they are all meritorious ministers, they are all injured and bloodied for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Xuanwumen Change, he Wei Zheng is a remnant of Jiancheng and Yuanji, why did he kill my Zuo Xiaowei army generals?" My Zuo Xiaowei army is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, fuck, no one is qualified to dare to bully us? I will go and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives an order, my Zuo Xiaowei army will kill all the remnants of Wei Zheng and their built-up and Yuanji. ”

"Yes, that's how the Great General should be. Whoever the fuck dares to bully our Zuo Xiaowei army, we must make him pay the price. The generals chimed in.

Outside the Taiji Palace, Qin Qiong asked to meet the crown prince Li Shimin, but was hung out of the gate by Li Shimin.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin asked Tang Jian, the "intelligence genius" standing on the side, with great anticipation: "Hasn't Wei Zheng arrived at Zuo Xiaowei's camp yet?" Why is it so slow? I'm looking forward to the conflict between him and General Zuo Xiaowei. ”

Tang Jian said helplessly: "Your Highness, this Lord Wei Zheng Wei is about to clash with the generals of Zuo Xiaowei. There are a large number of generals in Zuo Xiaowei, and there is only one person in Lord Wei, do you think this is really appropriate? ”

Li Shimin said: "Yes, of course it's suitable. If you don't beat Wei Zheng's stubbornness, how dare Lone use it with confidence? In the future, won't he kick his nose and face every day and restrain himself to loneliness? However, Wei Zheng is indeed a rare talent, I order you, once Wei Zheng and Zuo Xiaowei have a conflict, you must rescue him, remember to let him come out in disgrace. ”

Tang Jian was embarrassed.

Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian's embarrassed appearance, and said: "Don't be embarrassed, remember to let Wei Zheng come out in disgrace." Otherwise, I'll just ask. ”

Tang Jian's brows furrowed even tighter.

Zuo Xiaowei's camp, when Zuo Xiaowei's generals were discussing how to kill Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng opened the tent curtain of the camp tent and walked into the camp alone.

The generals of Zuo Xiaowei pulled out their waist knives one after another and surrounded Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng stood in the middle of the encirclement with a calm expression, and said: "My Confucian Sheng, who has no power to restrain the chicken, is it worth so many of you to draw a sword against you?" I have come with my head on, and any of you who will die with me, though you may come forward and kill me. ”

The generals couldn't help but be shocked by Wei Zheng's courage, and were inexplicably stunned, standing in place one by one, at a loss.

Wei Zheng looked up at the handsome position, and found that Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, was not there, so he sat down casually on a chair, calmed down, closed his eyes and recuperated, and waited for Qin Qiong's return.

The generals looked at each other, looked at each other, and slowly retracted their waist knives into their scabbards.
