At the same time that Li Yuan met with Tian Shikang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhao Wenyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, Concubine Yin Defei also met with the maid sent by her mother in her big tent, and the maid and Concubine Yin De said a few words about her mother's illness, and while the palace maid was unprepared, she stuffed a small note to Concubine Yin De, and the maid said in a low voice: "This is a letter from the master to the mother." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Concubine Yin De knew this, pinched the note into the palm of her hand, and she asked the eunuch to take two good ginseng sticks for the maid to bring back to her mother, and then went back to the sleeping tent, she opened the note and looked at it, there were only three words on it, 'waste prince'.

Concubine Yin Defei understood what her father meant, and she slowly fell into deep thought.

At night, Li Yuan scalded his feet with hot water and prepared to go to bed, Concubine Yin Defei knelt behind him, gently pinching Li Yuan's shoulders, she was very good at serving Li Yuan, and won Li Yuan's heart, but today Li Yuan felt that Concubine Ai was a little strange, so he held her hand and asked, "Concubine Ai, what happened?" ”

Concubine Yin De's tears welled up, and she whispered: "A little family matter, don't dare to bother Your Majesty." ”

Li Yuan wiped away her tears and smiled gently: "Concubine Ai's family affairs are my family affairs, you can say it!" Maybe I can help you. ”

Concubine Yin Defei sighed and said: "Today, my mother sent a maid to see me, before I only knew that my mother was sick, but today I learned that my mother was so angry that the two brothers of the concubine fell ill." ”

Li Yuan also knew that Concubine Yin's two brothers were unlearned, so he only knighted them, and did not let them be officials, he smiled and said: "The two uncles are causing trouble outside again?" ”

"This time I didn't make trouble outside, but fought for my father's mansion, my father originally asked my eldest brother to move out to live, but the eldest brother refused, saying that my father was partial and wanted to leave the mansion to the second brother, but my father said that the second brother was filial and it was better to stay by his side, but the dispute continued, the two brothers beat in public, the eldest brother injured the second brother, the mother was so angry that he fell ill, and the concubine didn't know what to do."

Li Yuan was deeply touched, and said with a long sigh: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" For the sake of the family property and brothers, for the sake of the throne to kill the father and poison the brother, compared with my pain, the concubine's family is really a trivial matter. ”

"Yes, the concubine will let the maid bring a message to her father, let the two brothers move out to live, see who behaves well, and leave the mansion to whom, and the problem will be solved."

"This is a good way, I will give your father another house when I go back, and the two uncles will have a house for each person, and I won't be able to quarrel, but unfortunately there is only one throne, how should I divide it?"

Concubine Yin Defei used her family affairs to naturally intervene in the battle for the throne, and she whispered: "Your Majesty, my father often educates our brothers and sisters, and the virtuous son is the prosperous family, in fact, the dynasty is the same, a virtuous heir will make the dynasty prosperous, Your Majesty must be cautious in choosing the heir." ”

Li Yuan patted her jade hand and said with relief: "Concubine Ai is right, I was in too much of a hurry to establish the crown prince, I didn't see his essence clearly, I didn't expect him to even let go of his father and brother, such a prince I will never tolerate it, but I can't think of who is better to make the prince for a while." ”

"Your Majesty has more than twenty sons! It's better to wait for the vacant position and see which son is the most virtuous, maybe King Yu can also satisfy His Majesty. ”

Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, is the son of Concubine Yin, Li Yuan understands what he means to love the concubine, and wants to fight for his son, this is human nature, Li Yuan is not annoyed, so he smiled and said: "I will definitely consider King Xu." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Concubine Yin De coquettishly hugged Li Yuan's neck, snuggled in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Learn from the concubine's method of teaching your father, vacate the crown prince's position, and let every prince have a chance, it depends on who behaves better." ”

"That's a good idea!"

Li Yuan hugged the thin waist of the concubine, and said with a beaming heart: "I have decided to use this method to abolish the position of the prince of the rebel son first!" ”

........

The 20,000 Imperial Forest Army used to be controlled by Li Xuanba alone, but Li Xuanba was not good at leading troops and could not control the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army.

Although Li Shenfu was not good at fighting, he was still quite skillful in controlling the Imperial Forest Army, and in just a few months, he recovered 10,000 Imperial Forest Army.

This time, Li Yuan inspected Fufeng County, Li Xuanba led the army to accompany him, and Li Shenfu led 10,000 imperial forest troops to sit in Taiji Palace.

Speaking of which, Li Shenfu can still be grateful to Li Yuanji today, Li Shenfu lost Bashu and led to the capture of the horse Chai Shao, which made Li Yuan very angry and prepared to demote him to a concubine.

But in order to win over Li Shentong, Li Yuanji took out 50,000 taels of gold to buy Yin Arat, and Yin Arat, through Yin Defei, interceded for Li Shenfu, Li Yuanji himself was also his father, and the loss of Bashu was inferior to others, not Li Shenfu's own lack of ability, his son's hard persuasion and the effect of the pillow wind prompted Li Yuan to finally change his decision, pardon Li Shenfu's crime of losing Bashu, and let him take charge of the forbidden army.

Li Yuanji's full help made Li Shenfu also return the favor, and he told Li Yuanji more than once that he would fully support Li Yuanji to win the East Palace, and the two formed a strategic alliance.

At night, Li Shenfu came to the palace of the king of Chu to visit Li Yuanji, who was poisoned and bedridden, the ward was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the two maids were carefully serving Li Yuanji to drink medicine, Li Shenfu sat aside and looked at Li Yuanji's complexion with concern.

He also cares about Li Yuanji from the bottom of his heart, he has a very bad relationship with Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng's right-hand men, Li Xiaogong and Chai Shao all hate him to the bone, once Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, the first one will clean him up.

As for Li Shimin, last year he served as the deputy ambassador of Longyou Jingluo, he was ambushed in Pingliang County, most of the guards died, and he almost died, although so far it is impossible to find out which way the bandits did it, and the matter is not over, but Li Shenfu knows that it can only be done by Li Shimin, and if Li Shimin ascends the throne, he will not spare him.

Li Shenfu has no way out, he can only rely on Li Yuanji, and only when Li Yuanji ascends the throne can he have a good life, so Li Yuanji was poisoned, and Li Shenfu was extremely nervous.

Li Yuanji did not tell Li Shenfu the truth, and even assassinated his father and blamed his brother Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji also did not tell Li Shenfu, Li Yuanji did not believe Li Shenfu, but Li Shenfu was not tight-mouthed, afraid that he would tell Li Shentong after drinking that Li Shentong was his father's henchman, and he was likely to betray himself.

Li Yuanji drank the medicine, waved his hand to let the maid go down, sighed and said to Li Shenfu: "It's also heaven and earth, if I eat more chopsticks at that time, I will die, that is my favorite deer brain, it can only show that God is holding my hand, I heard that my father was also assassinated, and I escaped by luck, and our father and son both have divine help!" ”

Li Shenfu lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the two cases of the assassination of the Holy Lord and the poisoning of His Royal Highness have been found out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is manipulating it behind his back. ”

Li Yuanji's eyes widened, "No!" Will the eldest brother assassinate his father? I'm his brother! No, I must be mistaken, I still stick to my previous judgment, it must be Zhang Xuan's doing, who wants to mess up our Datang and blame the eldest brother. ”

Li Shenfu sighed, "I also hope so, but all the evidence points to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in fact, if the Holy Lord dies, he will be the biggest beneficiary, from this point it can be judged that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a strong motive, he is the biggest suspect." ”

"But..... That's my father and my brother! ”

"Your Highness, in front of the throne, there is no brotherhood between father and son."

Li Yuanji sighed low for a while, "What is the attitude of the father?" ”

"The criminal department Shangshu and Dali Siqing rushed to see the saint in the afternoon, I estimate that there will be news tomorrow morning, and it is inevitable to search the East Palace."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Shenfu said slowly: "Your Highness, my brother and I want to recommend Your Highness as the new prince, is Your Highness willing to accept it?" ”

Li Yuanji's heart jumped suddenly, how could he not accept it, he couldn't wait to jump down and hug Li Shenfu and kiss him fiercely, what a good suggestion, but this is not in line with the plan they had discussed for several months before, he must show that he is not interested in the prince, the beast will only show its claws and teeth when it catches the prey at the end, this is a sentence that Cui Wenxiang repeatedly told him, Li Yuanji appreciated this sentence very much, and remembered him firmly.

He shook his head, "I am self-aware, being a prince is still being poked and scolded in the back, let alone being a prince, I am not the material to be an emperor, my greatest hope is to support the second brother to take the throne, and then I will lead the army to fight a decisive battle with Zhang Xuan." ”

Li Shenfu was startled, Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was dead, "Your Highness, think about it again!" There is no urgency in this matter, we will consider it in the long run. ”

At this time, Li Yuanji saw a maid who followed Cui Wenxiang to Yongxian appear at the door, and he knew that Cui Wenxiang was back, so he nodded and said: "Now I don't want to do anything, I can recover my body, the imperial doctor said that if I don't rest well, I will fall ill." ”

"Then Your Highness has a good rest, and he has taken his leave."

Li Shenfu got up and said goodbye, and as soon as Li Shenfu left, Li Yuanji ordered: "Help me go to the backyard study!" ”
