Chapter 122: Counting Each Other
Taiji Palace, the crown prince proposed that the king of Qi Yuanji lead the troops, and lead the right Xiaowei, the left leading guard, and the right leading army led by Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin to meet the Turks.
Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, watched the crown prince with surprise and felt relieved in his heart. The plan built by the crown prince is really good, it can not only completely eliminate the military power of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, so that the king of Qin will no longer be a threat, but also suppress the king of Qi Yuanji openly, and quietly transfer the king of Qi out of the imperial capital Chang'an. Qin Wang Shimin lost his military power, and there was no longer a threat, and if he stayed in Chang'an, what kind of storm could he set off? Qi Wang Yuanji, was expelled from the imperial capital Chang'an, far away from the center of political power in the Tang Dynasty, living in a corner, the Tang Dynasty has always pursued the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, with the imperial capital garrisoned by the twelve guards army is the most elite, the bomb pressure Quartet, Qi Wang Yuanji is not allowed to contact the twelve guards army, even if he has the intention to rebel, the twelve guards army must be able to quickly suppress, how can he threaten again?
This strategy made the Tang Emperor Li Yuan look at the crown prince with admiration, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he looked at it, the more relieved he became. He secretly said in his heart: "There is a prince in the Tang Dynasty, and I can rest assured that I will hand over state affairs to the prince in the future, and I will have no worries." ”
On the second day, the morning pilgrimage. Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict: appointing Qi Wang Yuanji as the generalissimo of Guanzhong Dao, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin as the generals of Guanzhong Dao Xingtai, and dispatched the right Xiaowei, the left leading guard, and the right leading guard to meet the Turks.
As soon as Li Shimin, the king of Qin, heard this, he understood that he was plotted by his father and the crown prince again. The father and the crown prince are going to completely seize his military power and empty him. But he could not speak of his suffering, and could not object. First, the Turks were rampant, and he could not delay the major event of meeting the Turks because of his opposition to his father's edict; Second, if he opens his mouth to oppose it, a big hat that abolishes the public for private purposes and only cares about personal interests and has no country will be buckled on his head, so that he will never be able to turn over. There is only self-interest in his heart, no country, is he still worthy of competing for the throne, and is he still worthy of being the King of Qin and the general of Tiance of the Tang Dynasty? Li Shimin, the king of Qin, chose not to say a word, and when the court meeting was over, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, walked away angrily.
Qi Wang Yuanji was also surprised. He didn't expect that his plan to give the crown prince Jiancheng would end up pitting himself. Isn't this to kick me out of Chang'an City? He looked at the prince coldly, and he was extremely indignant in his heart.
He has been hiding behind the crown prince, openly and secretly promoting the battle between the prince and the king of Qin, thinking about uniting the prince to build first, getting rid of the shrewd Qin king Li Shimin, and then getting rid of the prince who he assists and has no great ability, and finally ascends the throne himself. Now that the East Palace and the Qin Palace, they have reached the point where as long as they splash a little more spark, they will ignite a raging fire, and the battle between the East Palace, the Qin Palace, and the Qi Palace, has shown the most favorable situation for themselves. At this time, Prince Jiancheng, who didn't care about him at all, suddenly became smarter, and handed over the tiger talisman that he regarded as a second life to his own hands. What does this mean? It means that it is impossible for him to hide behind the prince Jiancheng, release cold arrows, use means, provoke the prince and the king of Qin to fight, and he will face off with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, while the prince hides behind him and reaps the benefits of the fisherman.
Qi Wangfu, the study of Qi Wang Yuanji.
Qi Wang Yuanji played with the tiger talisman in his hand with a gloomy face. The right servant of the Tang Dynasty, dressed in black and black robes, shot Feng Deyi and sat aside.
Qi Wang Yuanji asked Feng Deyi with resentment: "Feng Xiang, you say, what should I do now?" ”
Feng Deyi was silent.
Qi Wang Yuanji stood up, was extremely irritable in the study, paced and said, "Five years of hard work, is this what you want to end?" After five years of life in the military camp, how much I suffered and how many sins I suffered, I finally returned to Chang'an, the imperial capital, and assisted the prince to build and suppress him Qin King Li Shimin, and now the prince's power has become and his wings are full, so he kicked me away. A generalissimo of Guanzhong Dao Xingtai wanted to send me away and drive me out of the imperial capital Chang'an. What about the prince who built a beggar called Hanako? I'm not reconciled. Feng Xiang, why don't I return this tiger talisman and let the emperor choose another virtuous one? ”
Feng Deyi shook his head and said: "If Your Highness returns the tiger talisman, it will leave a reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death in front of the whole world, and you will never have that position in the future, and you will be ridiculed by the people of the whole world for a lifetime." Besides, His Royal Highness will return the Tiger Talisman, will His Majesty the Tang Emperor and the Crown Prince be willing? Their arrangement this time, in addition to completely seizing the military power of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but also to squeeze out His Royal Highness the King of Qi, they are going to completely drive His Royal Highness the King of Qi out of Chang'an City, and in the future, His Royal Highness the King of Qi may not have a chance to return to the imperial capital Chang'an. ”
"Kick me out of Chang'an City completely? No more chance to return to the imperial capital of Chang'an? Qi Wang Yuanji sat weakly on the Huanghuali high-backed chair and didn't say a word for a long time.
Is his fate so predestined? I will never be able to return to the imperial capital of Chang'an, and I will never be able to get to that supreme position again? I'm unwilling, unwilling. Can you only watch the Qin King Li Shimin be fought down by himself, and the crown prince will be enthroned as the emperor? Could it be that my efforts for more than five years are just to make wedding clothes for the crown prince and make him the emperor?
Qi Wang Yuanji was full of resentment, and a tyrannical aura permeated him.
Feng Deyi looked at Qi Wang Yuanji falling into a state of madness, secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Weichen has a plan, that is, I don't know His Royal Highness the King of Qi, do you dare to take risks?" ”
Qi Wang Yuanji hurriedly asked, "What's the plan?" ”
Feng Deyi replied: "When the army goes out, according to the etiquette system, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin will all go to see His Highness, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness only needs to ambush the sword and axe hand around him, and the Tang Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the King of Qin" Feng Deyi made a chopping action. After that, His Royal Highness the King of Qi could enter the palace and issue an edict announcing that the Tang Emperor, the crown prince, and the King of Qi had died violently, and if any of the courtiers dared to object, they would be beheaded on the spot. His Royal Highness holds the tiger talisman in his hand, and there is no Tang Emperor, the crown prince, the king of Qin and others, who in the world dares to stop it? His Royal Highness can directly ascend to the throne and become the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Qi Wang Yuanji's eyes were fierce, he paced in the study for two weeks, suddenly stopped in front of the weapon rack, brushed it, pulled out a sword, stretched out his fingers to test the blade of the sword, raised his head, and said to Feng Deyi: "The commander of the army left Chang'an, and I will never have a chance to return to the imperial capital in the future." This send-off of the army is my only chance, this opportunity is good, I will act according to your strategy, get rid of the Tang Emperor, the crown prince, the King of Qin, and ascend the throne as the emperor. ”
After that, Qi Wang Yuanji said coldly to himself: "This plan is indeed seamless in the world, the prince is an ally, I can also use it, let him assist me in getting rid of the Tang Emperor, the King of Qin, and of course, himself." ”
