Chapter Seventy-Two: The Prince's Promise
After leaving the Qi Palace, Feng Deyi returned to his mansion alone.
In Feng Deyi's study, the lights are bright. Xiao Yu, the imperial historian, was also alone, pacing back and forth, waiting anxiously. saw Feng Deyi walk into the study and closed the door. Xiao Yu couldn't wait to walk up to Feng Deyi and asked, "How?" Is Li Yuanji willing to unite with the crown prince and get rid of the king of Qin? ”
Feng Deyi smiled: "Everything is going according to our plan, and Li Yuanji finally decided to unite with the crown prince." Get rid of the King of Qin first, and then get rid of the crown prince. Merely? ”
Hearing only two words, Xiao Yu's originally extremely excited heart lifted up again, and asked nervously, "But what?" ”
Feng Deyi replied: "Li Yuanji's kid got rid of the King of Qin and got rid of the crown prince, I'm afraid he will do something to me and our southern clan when he comes down, right?" ”
Xiao Yu hurriedly asked, "How could he have such a mind?" Could it be that he saw something? Our plan has been planned for so long, and it has been arranged so secretly, will he find anything? ”
Feng Deyi replied: "We have laid out such a big situation, and we are so cautious. What he found, not so much. It's just suspicious, in the past five years of training in the army, Li Yuanji has learned something. ”
Hearing Feng Deyi say this, Xiao Yu sneered: "Want to kill us? I'm afraid he has a weak heart. As long as that person, hiding well by his side, wants to kill us? Let's kill him. First get rid of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, then kill the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and finally get rid of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the victory is ours. ”
Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu looked at each other and smiled.
It's a huge plan, it's been six years since it was first implemented, but it's okay. No one was discovered, and now everything is still going according to plan.
Xiao Yu asked Feng Deyi again: "That great talent of my southern clan, Cen Wenwen, Feng Xiang decided to use it?" Would you recommend him now? ”
Feng Deyi replied: "Don't be in a hurry, take a look." Although things have been going according to our plan now, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to God to make things happen. Until the end, no one can guarantee that victory will be ours. Wait for the crown prince to be built, Qin Wang Shimin, and Qi Wang Yuanji to decide the winner. Then let the text come out. If the result is really as we planned, the text is the best candidate for the prime minister of the new monarch we have chosen. ”
Xiao Yu praised it and nodded yes.
On the morning of the second day, Emperor Li Yuan summoned Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, at the Taiji Palace.
After some greetings, Li Yuan said to Qi Wang Yuanji: "This time, you have made a great contribution to the crusade against the traitor Xu Yuanlang." Father summoned you back because he expected you. ”
Li Yuanji raised his head, looked at Emperor Li Yuan, and said, "Father, please say that the sons and daughters must do their best to live up to their father's expectations." ”
Emperor Li Yuan said slowly: "You have been in my Tang Army for five years, you have military merits, prestige, and your own power, the power of the prince Jiancheng in the army is too weak, and the power of the people in the army is too strong. I hope you can help your eldest brother and suppress the people. ”
Li Yuanji bowed to Emperor Li Yuan and said, "Father, don't worry, the son will go to see the prince's brother in the afternoon, ally with him, and be loyal to him." ”
"Hmm." Emperor Li Yuan nodded and said.
In the evening, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, appeared in the prince's east palace.
After seeing the king of Qi visit the emperor, he came to visit his east palace. The crown prince seemed to understand something, and he asked knowingly: "Yuan Ji, you came to my prince's east palace just to visit, is it so simple?" Outside the gate of Chang'an City, Lonely's words, Yuanji, how did you think about it? Now the eldest brother is very powerful, and the prospects are very good, the eldest brother hopes that you can help the eldest brother? ”
Qi Wang Yuanji said with a smile: "Big brother, you are the prince after all, and you are the prince. Morally, the younger brother is definitely still willing to support the prince's brother, but he just wants the younger brother to do his best to help, how will the prince's brother treat his younger brother? ”
Hearing that Qi Wang Yuanji put forward the conditions, the crown prince groaned and said: "You and I join forces, Lone is the leader, and you are the deputy." When the people of the world are defeated, Lone will be on the throne, and Lone will canonize you as the emperor's younger brother, and the status will be above the Lone Prince, and he will be in charge of the whole ** team. Under one man, above ten thousand. Yuanji, what do you think of this? ”
Qi King Yuanji thought for a while, then bowed to the prince Jiancheng and said, "Yuanji is willing to follow the prince's brother." ”
"Okay, with Yuanji's help, I'm as lonely as a tiger. The defeat of the people of the world is just around the corner. Prince Jiancheng said happily.
After that, the two talked about brotherly feelings and talked happily.
It was late at night, King Yuanji of Qi got up to say goodbye, and the crown prince Jiancheng personally sent him out of the palace gate.
Looking at the bright moon that had risen to the middle of the sky, Prince Jiancheng asked with a smile: "Brother, are you still going to the Qin Palace?" ”
King Qi Yuanji also smiled: "Brother Prince said that he was joking, since Yuanji is loyal to Brother Prince, how could he do that thing at both ends of the rat and go to find the King of Qin?" King Qin, can he give better terms than the prince's brother? Does he have that resource, that strength? Now that I have formed an alliance with the prince's brother, you and my brother are one, and if he makes the prince's brother unhappy, he will make me unhappy. I am a knife in the hands of the prince's brother, if he dares to provoke the prince's brother again, my knife will dare to cut at him. ”
Prince Jiancheng smiled even more happily, and said hypocritically: "It's all my own brothers, how can I do it?" ”
Qi Wang Yuanji said: "My younger brother is in the barracks, and he is used to staying with those soldiers. is open-mouthed, but everything the younger brother said is true, if he, Li Shimin, dares to provoke the prince's brother again, Yuan Ji will dare to cut him directly. ”
Prince Jiancheng shook his head with a smile, pointed his finger at Qi Wang Yuanji and said, "You! ”
Soon, Yuanji, the king of Qi, left the East Palace and returned to his own Qi Palace.
On the second day, the news of the alliance between Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the crown prince spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. The crown prince was in the family, and his morale increased greatly, while Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had a gloomy face.
Soon, the officials of the imperial court vied to visit the crown prince, the king of Qi, the prince's east palace, and the palace of the king of Qi was very lively and busy. And the Qin Wangfu is full of birds, and it is becoming more and more deserted.
In the Prince's East Palace, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng admonished the prince Jiancheng and said: "The alliance between the king of Qi and His Royal Highness the crown prince has many benefits. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to guard against King Qi. He is also from Queen Dou, and he is also the son-in-law, after you and King Qin, he is the most qualified person to inherit the throne. ”
The crown prince Jiancheng said: "Compared with King Yuanji of Qi and King Qin, King Qin's threat is the greatest. Only by joining forces with Yuanji and getting rid of King Qin together can we turn around and clean up Yuanji. The lonely prince is not easy to be. ”
