Feng Deyi asked, "How has His Highness decided to use the crown prince to build it?" ”

Qi Wang Yuanji said: "In order to improve the success of resisting the Turks, I hope to recruit the crown prince of the East Palace, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, the commander of the six guards of the East Palace Feng Li, the leading generals of the Prince East Palace, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche brothers, to assist me in resisting the Turks." In the early days of the dynasty today, the father and the emperor issued an edict to recruit and transfer the Qin prince's mansion Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin, and the king of Qin can't say anything, and now the prince's subordinates Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Feng Li, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche have been requisitioned, and the prince can't say anything. In this way, the crown prince Jiancheng is left alone in the imperial capital Chang'an to face the king of Qin, isn't it that I look down on him The prince Jiancheng, with his guts, he dares to face the king of Qin alone? He will definitely be afraid and jealous of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. As long as I verbally threaten, he will definitely beg me to get rid of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, before I go on the expedition. He will inevitably obey me, so that I can get rid of the Tang Emperor, the King of Qin, and the crown prince with his assistance. ”

Feng Deyi nodded and praised Qi Wang Yuanji's superb strategy.

On the second day, in the Taiji Palace, the music of King Yuanji of Qi was placed on the imperial table of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan.

Emperor Li Yuan had the intention to refuse. This time to resist the Turks, it was to weaken the military power of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and to squeeze out Yuanji, the king of Qi, not to weaken the crown prince. This twist and turn of Qi Wang Yuanji, with ill intentions, intended to weaken the crown prince, is really impossible to approve.

Emperor Li Yuangang picked up the red pen, and his right servant shot Feng Deyi and admonished: "Your Majesty, you must not refuse." rejected it, and gave His Royal Highness the King of Qi an excuse not to lead the troops to the battle. ”

Emperor Li Yuan said in surprise: "Deyi, you said that this is the ploy of King Yuanji of Qi. He didn't want to lead the troops to the battle, but he was afraid of returning the tiger talisman directly, and he fell into a notoriety of being greedy for life and afraid of death. So, he opened his mouth and proposed to recruit the subordinates of the prince's eastern palace, and if I rejected his play, he would have an excuse not to lead the army to the battle. ”

Feng Deyi replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi does not want to leave the imperial capital Chang'an. He knew in his heart that Chang'an was the power center of the entire Tang Dynasty. Only by staying in Chang'an can he show his ambitions. The prince's strategy this time not only weakened the military power of His Royal Highness King Qin, but also squeezed out His Royal Highness King Qi. His Royal Highness King Qi knew very well in his heart that he would probably never have the chance to return to Chang'an again when he led the troops on this expedition. He doesn't want to leave, he is trying to do everything he can to stay in Chang'an. Weichen suggested that His Majesty agree to the King of Qi to requisition the people of the East Palace, and not give the King of Qi an excuse to stay in Chang'an. When King Qi leaves Chang'an, it will not be too late for the people of the East Palace to be recalled. ”

Emperor Li Yuan showed a hint of enlightenment, and criticized the performance of Qi Wang Yuanji: "Quasi-playing." ”

The Prince's East Palace, the study built by the Prince. The crown prince Jiancheng was reading a book under the lamp, and a waiter from the East Palace was busy in the study, wiping the tables and chairs. Qi Wang Yuanji took the recital approved by Emperor Li Yuan, pushed open the door of the prince's study, and said to the prince with tears in his eyes: "Brother Prince, the Turks are brave and brave, and the cavalry is good at fighting, and the younger brother is really worried that if he dies on the battlefield, how can the prince's brother face the Qin King Li Shimin alone?" In order to increase the chances of resisting the Turks, the younger brother asked his father to requisition all the subordinates of the prince's elder brother's East Palace, and the father had agreed. ”

Hearing that King Yuanji of Qi had transferred all his subordinates away, his father agreed. Thinking that he had to face Li Shimin, the king of Qin, alone, there was no tiger talisman, no strategists, no generals, and no army. The prince was suddenly like an ant on a hot pot, standing up anxiously and pacing back and forth in front of the bookcase.

After a long time, the crown prince Jiancheng stopped, and said to Wang Yuanji: "If you don't recruit the subordinates of the East Palace, Yuanji will be in danger of your life, and if you recruit the subordinates of the East Palace, you will not be able to deal with it alone in the face of Li Shimin, the king of Qin." Since this is the case, it is better to get rid of the King of Qin before you lead the army to the battle. Get rid of King Qin, you won't be in danger, and I won't be in danger anymore. ”

Qi Wang Yuanji said with embarrassment: "Get rid of King Qin, in case my father and emperor are held accountable."

Prince Jiancheng said: "What is Yuanji afraid of? In case the father is held accountable, the prince will block it for you. We and King Qin have already reached the point where we meet each other in arms, either he dies or I die. The Father is very clear about these truths. After getting rid of King Qin, the biggest threat in his heart was also eliminated, and he wouldn't say anything. Besides, he has the army of three guards in his hands, and we also have the army of three guards in his hands, no one is stronger than the other, no one is weaker than the other, and the Turkic foreign troubles are still on his side, and he will not know what to do. ”

Qi Wang Yuanji groaned, and after a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said to the prince: "Okay, for the sake of the prince's brother, Yuanji is willing to follow the prince's brother's plan." ”

After that, the two discussed: on the grounds that the front line was tight, first let the right Xiaowei, the left and right leading army of the Wei army, which had been transferred to the command of Qi Wang Yuanji, take the lead in resisting the Turks under the leadership of Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhang Gongjin, so as to avoid this powerful force when murdering the King of Qin. Later, on the day of the expedition of King Yuanji of Qi, at the banquet of Kunming Pool, he assassinated Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

At the end of the discussion, a smile appeared on the prince's worried face. is finally about to get rid of the unruly younger brother of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Yuanji was also squeezed out of the imperial capital Chang'an, and his position as the prince was finally completely stabilized. And Qi Wang Yuanji's heart was also triumphant. Everything was in his own plan, and the crown prince built this idiot, and finally assisted himself in getting rid of the king of Qin according to his own arrangement. Looking at the face of the crown prince Jiancheng with a faint smile, Qi Wang Yuanji sneered in his heart, this time, he not only wanted to get rid of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but also got rid of Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and of course, the stupid prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Li Jiancheng. Only after getting rid of them could Qi Wang Yuanji be able to ascend to that highest position.

Just when the crown prince was built and the king of Qi Yuanji was thinking about something, there was a sudden "bang", and a water cup fell from the table, fell on the floor, and shattered. The waiter of the East Palace, who was cleaning up the table, stopped and looked at the prince Jiancheng with a panicked face.

The crown prince Jiancheng glanced at the attendants of the East Palace, and reprimanded angrily: "Wang Hui (zhi), you are also an old man in the East Palace, and you have served the prince for many years, why are you still so careless?" ”

Wang Hui hurriedly lowered his head and said in fear: "The little one should be damned, the little one"

Prince Jiancheng looked unhappy, waved his hand and said, "You go down, wait here for us to finish discussing, and then let people clean up." ”

Wang Hui bowed down and retreated.
