"That's the end of today's court meeting, everyone will go back to deal with court affairs first, and we will discuss it another day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and got up and left.

The ministers shook their heads together, how unwise King Zhaojun was, he actually angered the Son of Heaven, Li Shenfu glanced at Li Xiaogong proudly, and then talked and laughed with everyone and left, Li Xiaogong stood there without saying a word, at this time, Li Jiancheng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said apologetically: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have involved you." ”

Li Xiaogong shook his head, "Even if His Royal Highness doesn't mention this matter, I will take the initiative to bring it up, although the debate is unfavorable, but I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people, in fact, His Royal Highness is right, the lack of separation between military and political affairs is the root cause of our repeated defeats, I now finally understand why Zhang Xuan is reluctant to ascend the throne, he would rather temporarily give up the power of the court, but also personally lead the army to fight, just to avoid the court from interfering in the military." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "It can't be said that the imperial court interferes in military affairs is wrong, after all, the imperial court also has to mobilize the people, prepare logistics and military rations, and major strategic directions also need to be decided by the imperial court, this is originally the power of the Son of Heaven, the military and the government need to work together to win the war, the key is a matter of degree, we must grasp the balance, so I will say that the imperial court interferes too deeply in the military, in fact, not only the imperial court interferes in the military, but there are many other problems, such as too much emphasis on the clan, let the clan take charge of the military, And the generals who are really good at fighting have no chance to show their talents, etc., I wanted to say a few more words, but my father didn't give me a chance, so I'll slowly persuade him in the future! ”

Li Xiaogong nodded silently, he agreed with Li Jiancheng's point of view, he himself had a pain in his own skin, if the main general who was in charge of Jiangxia at that time was still Qu Tutong, not Li Shenfu, who just wanted to protect himself, the result would really be different, but Li Xiaogong didn't know that in order to transfer Qu Tutong away, Zhang Xuan did whatever it took to succeed, and finally used Li Yuanji to succeed.

At this time, a eunuch rushed over and bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has summoned His Royal Highness to go to the imperial study, go now." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said to Li Xiaogong: "I'll go and persuade my father again, you go back to the house first!" In the future, we will find a way to slowly persuade the Son of Heaven, no matter what, we must dig out the stubborn disease of repeated defeats from the roots. ”

"Your Highness is right, for the sake of the future of Datang, we must fight to the end!"

Li Jiancheng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, not letting his father ask about the military may be more difficult than ascending to the sky, but at this time, he is not good at damaging Li Xiaogong's enthusiasm, so he can only take one step at a time.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly came to the imperial study, only to see that the second brother Li Shimin was already in the room, except for their father and son, there was no one else.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly walked into the room and knelt down to salute, "The son sees his father!" ”

To Li Jiancheng's surprise, his father did not get angry, his attitude was actually very gentle, Li Yuan waved his hand, "The emperor, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Li Jiancheng got up and stood on the other side with his hands down.

Li Yuan glanced at their brothers, and then said slowly: "I just realized that I had made a mistake, before this court meeting, I should have communicated with you two brothers first, especially when it was completed!" ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "Your performance today is very disappointing to me, although I didn't consult with you beforehand, but I didn't consult with Shimin either, but he can always remain silent, why can't you do it?" ”

"Erchen wants to find out the root cause of our army's repeated defeats, reverse the unfavorable situation as soon as possible, and make full preparations for the next battle." Li Jiancheng argued in a low voice.

Li Yuan showed a mocking smile on his face, "It seems that I still think highly of you, your temple cultivation is not even as good as the people of the world, don't you understand that some things are just an attitude, give an explanation to the people below?" Even your brother understands this truth, but don't you, the dignified Crown Prince, understand? ”

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but say anymore: "Father, just because the son is His Royal Highness the Prince, the responsibility is on our shoulders, we have been defeated repeatedly over the years, seeing that the Northern Sui is getting stronger and stronger, but we are getting weaker and weaker, our chronic disease is at the root, we must reflect on it, some words must be said in the political hall, let the important ministers participate, although the words are a little ugly, if we don't make up our minds to correct it, the strong man will break his wrist, we will repeat the mistakes of the past in the future, the father ......"

"Shut up!"

Li Yuan shouted angrily, rudely interrupting Li Jiancheng's words, he stood up and walked to the window, his chest rose and fell violently, and the words of his eldest son in the main hall today deeply hurt him.

Li Yuan's heart is like a mirror, he is by no means mediocre, on the contrary, he is more shrewd than anyone else in his heart, he knows very well what his eldest son Jiancheng said about restricting the court's interference in military affairs, which is clearly to limit his own power, so how can Li Yuan not be angry, but in front of the court officials, he restrained it, and now there are only their father and son, he no longer has to restrain the anger in his heart.

At this moment, the anger suppressed in Li Yuan's chest completely broke out, and he turned his head and looked at Li Jiancheng angrily and said: "Don't mention any more chronic diseases to me, I know a hundred times better than you, Wang Shichong's defeat is that he gave the military power to the clan too late, but if it is earlier, there will be no Guo Shiheng, Yun Dingxing, Tian Zan and others selling for glory, if you don't learn these bloody lessons, you still talk to me about what strong men break their wrists." ”

"Father, the strong man's broken wrist mentioned by the son refers to the interference of the imperial court in military affairs, not ......"

"Fart!"

Li Yuan finally became furious, he trembled all over, pointed at Li Jiancheng and said viciously: "Don't mention anything to me about the imperial court and the army, I understand what you mean, that is, you want to deprive me of my military power, all the army is my army, I have the right to know everything, and I have the right to decide everything, you are not allowed to ask the army, do you want to replace me?" Don't! You, the crown prince, will be abolished, do you think that I will not dare to abolish you if I am the eldest son? Do you think that Shimin is the second son, so I will not make him the prince? ”

Military power is his Li Yuan's rebel scales, the eldest son dared to openly offend, Li Yuan's heart suddenly became murderous, and he pulled out his sword from the sword rack and stabbed at Li Jiancheng, "I killed you rebel!" ”

Li Shimin was so shocked that he grabbed his father's wrist, "Father, don't do it!" ”

The thunderous anger of his father was unprecedented, Li Jiancheng knelt down and wept: "Erchen is for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's social affairs, and he has no selfish intentions, as long as his father is willing to make up his mind to reform, Erchen would rather give up the position of prince." ”

"You...... You ......"

Li Yuan was so angry that his eyes turned black for a while, his heart beat violently, and suddenly, he couldn't stand, his legs fell to the ground with a weak leg, and the long sword fell to the ground.

"Father! Father! ”

The two brothers were shocked, and Li Shimin hugged his father and shouted: "Big brother, go find the imperial doctor!" Li Jiancheng ran out and yelled at the eunuchs outside: "Hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor!" Just go! ”

There was a sudden chaos inside and outside the imperial study.

.........

The condition of Li Yuan, the son of heaven, did not slowly stabilize until late at night, everyone was exhausted and went back, early the next morning, the imperial palace sent an edict, the general of the Eastern Expedition Li Xiaogong mishandled the battle of Fushui, and exiled 60,000 troops to surrender to the Northern Sui without the consent of the Son of Heaven, which directly led to the defeat of the Tang army in Jiangxia and even Jingzhou, the nature was extremely bad, and the consequences were very serious.

There are two other inconspicuous pieces of news in the edict, appointing the crown prince as a visiting envoy to Bashu and Longyou counties to inspect local government affairs for a period of two years.

Another piece of news is that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was crowned as Shangshu Ling, in charge of the six government affairs, which actually handed over the power of the prince's government affairs to the king of Qin.

Although these two pieces of news are inconspicuous, those in the know know that the demotion of King Zhao Jun and the transfer of the crown prince are actually the same thing. (To be continued.) )
