Just when the Tang Emperor Li Shimin controlled Li Jing's old troops and the grain of Li Jing's army, Li Jing also controlled Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin, so that their henchmen of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin could no longer command the army.

Li Jing didn't have any objections, but he knew that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin had already thought that he had rebelled, and now he had no chance to defend himself at all, he could only resist to the end and control those threats that might lead to his defeat, because he knew that if he was defeated, not only would his family be ruined, but also that there would be a lot of people involved, and it would be a massacre, a particularly big disaster in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Palace, the Ganlu Palace, the palace of Concubine Yang in the West Palace.

Concubine Yang sat on the Huanghuali high-backed chair in the middle of the main hall, holding Buddhist beads, her face was calm, and the head of the Southern Shi clan, Lang Zhongcen Wenwen of the Tang Dynasty Officials Examination Company, and Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, sat on the left and right sides of Concubine Yang's lower head.

After some greetings, Cen Wenwen stood up and said to Concubine Yang: "Concubine Yang, now that the Turkic Jieli Khan has been defeated by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no major security threat to my Tang Frontier. Foreign affairs have been decided, and the energy of His Majesty and the entire imperial court will inevitably be concentrated within my Datang. The battle for the storage position is bound to become the focus of the competition among the major forces in the Tang Dynasty of our country.

Prince Chengqian is the eldest son, although he is spoiled by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress Niang, and has the support of the Guanlong aristocratic group, the head of the three major political and military forces, but the ability of the prince Chengqian himself is worrying, and the character of the prince Chengqian is too cowardly, he has no courage in handling things, and he cannot convince the public, and it may be difficult to bear the burden of my Tang Dynasty in the future.

His Royal Highness King Wei is the second son of Yan, a smart person, good at making friends with the courtiers, and has the support of the wealthy family of Shandong who has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and now he is also very powerful in the court. Many ministers were hoping that His Royal Highness the King of Wei could replace the crown prince Chengqian and become the prince, and inherit the throne in the future.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu is smart and heroic, and he has the support of my southern scholars, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the eldest son of His Majesty, not His Majesty's son-in-law after all. As long as His Majesty's son-in-law has the ability to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty and can afford the burden of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, who is the concubine, will definitely not become the prince. An opportunity to dominate the entire Tang Dynasty's subjects. ”

Concubine Yang looked worried, she knew that what Cen Wenwen said was the truth, and her analysis was very correct, so she asked with a little anxiety: "Lord Cen, you are resourceful, what do you think you should do now?" Since Ke'er insists on taking that path, we must help him. ”

After thinking for a while, Cen Wenwen said: "Concubine Yang, the minister thinks that now the three forces, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the weakest. Whether it is the background of His Royal Highness or the strength of my southern scholar clan itself, it is not enough to win the position of prince. Therefore, the minister believes that we must change our strategy, and I, the southern scholars, fully support His Royal Highness the King of Wei. Together with the wealthy families of Shandong, they joined forces to overthrow the crown prince Chengqian, who was supported by the Guanlong aristocratic group, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu secretly recruited troops and horses to collect all the ministers. When the crown prince Chengqian falls, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is bound to suffer heavy losses, so His Royal Highness the King of Shu will defeat His Royal Highness the King of Wei, whose strength has been greatly damaged. You can easily ascend to the position of the prince and become the future son of heaven in the Tang Dynasty. ”

After thinking for a while, Concubine Yang said, "Lord Cen's plan is good, but what is there to make it difficult for Lord Cen to need the help of this palace?" ”

Cen Wenwen replied: "Concubine Yang Niangniang Mingjian (jian), the most difficult thing at the moment is His Royal Highness the King of Shu. In order to ensure the success of this strategy and not be recognized by the Guanlong nobles and the wealthy people of Shandong, the minister had to hide the reason why he chose to do so from His Royal Highness the King of Shu. His Royal Highness the King of Shu has a brave personality, and this is a collective betrayal of His Royal Highness the King of Shu by my southern scholars, and the minister is afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will not be able to withstand such a blow......"

Speaking of this, Cen Wenwen looked at Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Cen should do what you plan, Ke'er, this palace will slowly enlighten." ”

Cen Wenwen originally thought that Concubine Yang would question the motives of their southern scholars to do this, after all, now the crown prince Chengqian is the most powerful, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, is also monstrous, but Li Ke, the king of Shu, has the least power and is alone. The Southern Scholars abandoned Li Ke, the King of Shu, and voted for Li Tai, the King of Wei, which will inevitably make people suspicious and suspicious, suspecting that the Southern Scholars led by Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu took the opportunity to climb the high branch of Li Tai, the King of Wei, but Concubine Yang's performance was infinite trust in Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu, which made Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu very moved.

Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu knelt on the ground together, took out a blood book from their sleeves, handed it to Concubine Yang Niangniang and said: "The ministers are grateful for Concubine Yang's trust, and the ministers are willing to swear allegiance to Concubine Yang and His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”

Concubine Yang sighed, put away the blood book, and then said to Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu: "It's difficult for the two adults and the southern scholar clan led by the two adults to do this for Ke'er. Your defection to Li Tai, the king of Wei, will inevitably cause a huge turmoil in the Tang Dynasty and the opposition, and your reputation will inevitably be tarnished. Ke'er and civil and military officials are bound to not understand you, will mock and accuse you, this palace hopes that since you have chosen to take this road, then endure the humiliation and go on, once Ke'er can become the prince and succeed to the throne, this palace will let Ke'er compensate you and restore your reputation. ”

After hearing Concubine Yang's words, Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu were moved to tears.

The mansion of Cui Gan, the secretary of the Tang Rite Department.

Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Shi clan, Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor of the Ministry of Officials of the Southern Shi clan, sat opposite each other.

After a short greeting, Cen Wenwen said: "Lord Cui, Lord Lu, now that my great enemy of the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Jieli Khan have been eliminated, the energy of Your Majesty and the entire court will inevitably return to the candidate of my Tang prince. His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a concubine, and he is lonely, only His Royal Highness the King of Wei, smart and clever, and with the support of your Shandong Hao clan, the momentum is monstrous, and the potential is huge.
