Chapter 789: Li Shimin's Last Struggle

"How did my mother know about Shen Ruyan?" Walking in the palace, Li Xin looked at Song He beside him with some dissatisfaction and said, as the chief manager of the palace, Song He has power that he did not have before, and he is the main person in charge of the Terror Mountain Villa.

"Your Majesty, when Zong Zheng came to see the Queen Mother a few days ago, he said that Prince Xiao is surnamed Shen, should it also be included in the clan system. So the old lady of the Queen Mother knew about it. Song He hurriedly said.

"This old puppet knows how to meddle." Li Xin said with some dissatisfaction.

"What about the last Yuan Night? Are the mouths of the palace maids so unstable? How do you manage it? Li Xin glared at Song He dissatisfiedly and said, "Fortunately, my mother declared righteousness, otherwise how would you let me solve this matter?" ”

"This, Your Majesty, this matter involves Miss Yuan, that person is Miss Yuan's cousin, Miss Yuan was afraid that someone would be afraid of the majesty of the queen, so she risked her life to report to the Queen Mother." Song He sighed in his heart, it is better to offend Yuan Ziyan than to offend Li Xin, and it can be seen that Li Xin is going to be angry, and Song He will naturally not send it.

"Hmph, a little woman is really wide enough." Li Xin's face was much gloomy, what he didn't like the most was the people in the harem, and he was still in charge of the things in front of him, not to mention, he was not even a concubine, but Yuan Ziyan used his position next to the Gao family to almost ruin his own big things, and his heart was punishable.

"I heard that the Yuan family came, Yuan Xianfa and his younger brother came to Chang'an in person, and they met Yuan Guniang through Concubine Wei." Song Heke sold Yuan Ziyan cleanly, and even brought Wei Nizi out.

"The Wei family and the Yuan family are very close?" Li Xin asked in surprise.

"The two families have always cooperated, and the Yuan family can be strong in Bashu, but it is a little worse in Beijing, and the slave sees that the Wei family wants to take a fancy to Bashu and wants to extend its power to that place." Song He hurriedly said.

"The abacus is very fine." Li Xin snorted coldly and said, "Find a clever character and send it to my mother." Let her take care of her mother with Yuan Ziyan. ”

"Yes." Song He nodded hurriedly, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had already offended Yuan Ziyan, if Yuan Ziyan remained by Gao's side, and said a word or two casually, he was afraid that he would be unlucky, Li Xin was already clearly not believing in Yuan Ziyan, and he Song He would be safe. On the bottom of the main hall of the window, Guang Luqing has long been prepared, the former first assistant Pei Shiju, and today's first assistant minister Du Ruhui. Then there are the ministers in the Wude Palace, many generals in the Wuying Palace, etc., the ministers, marquis, uncles, sons, men and other ministers with titles have gathered in the Wuying Palace, Li Xin feasted the ministers, but because he captured half of Shandong, defeated Li Shimin, and finally forced Li Shimin to dig the Yellow River embankment, which blocked Li Xin's attack. Although Li Xin did not completely seize Shandong, the prestige of Li Shimin and Li Zhao was ruined in the hands of Li Xin, otherwise. There will be no such thing as Dugu Feng going south, and those big families have already begun to be dissatisfied with Li Yuan. "Your Majesty, can you catch the song and dance in front of you?" Pei Shiju saw that Li Xin's eyes were not on the singing and dancing in front of him, but his eyes were wandering. I couldn't help but ask. "Although singing and dancing are good, I am a military general, where do I know what singing and dancing is. No matter how beautiful the song and dance is, it's just like that in front of me. Li Xin said with a smile: "Zhongqing, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Everyone also raised their wine glasses in front of them. These drinks were left by the former Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty when Yang Jian was in power, and when they were taken out at this time, they were extraordinarily fragrant. The whole hall is filled with the smell of wine. On Lie, it is naturally a distilled liquor made by Li Xin, but on purity, thickness, and thickness, it is a good wine left in the past, Li Xin also has to admit it, especially when Yang Jian was alive, the country was peaceful, the food was sufficient, the wine-making industry was also very developed, and there were many fine wines, even Li Xin had to feel that in ancient times, this kind of wine was a mellow feeling. "Congratulations for the Tang Dynasty." Li Xin smiled, perhaps only at this time did he feel comfortable being an emperor. Standing high on the throne, hugging from front to back, sitting on beauty, commanding the world, being a man is better than this. Of course, Li Xin is here to drink and sing, watching song and dance performances, and in Taiyuan, there is another person who is the same, but there is no song and dance performance in front of him, only wine. "Your Highness." Fang Xuanling and Hou Junji walked in together, just entered the study, but frowned, there was no cleanliness in the study, there was only the smell of wine in the room, this smell was very unpleasant, even Hou Junji also felt uncomfortable, and quickly opened the window. "Your Highness, have you already accepted your fate?" Fang Xuanling looked at the young man in front of him, or he hadn't repaired it for many days, his beard had already grown, his face was pale and haggard, his eyes were blank, he no longer had the vigor of the past, and he was a living loser, Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin to this extent, and felt pity in his heart, and even more had a feeling of anger. "Xuan Ling, my father is going to cut off my back road! What should I do? Li Shimin smiled bitterly. Losing the general of Tiance and the monk is nothing, but losing his reputation, Li Shimin is equivalent to losing a layer of gold, which makes people see themselves very clearly, without even a little disguise, and people in the world will not accept a person who has a loss of character to be the prince and the son of heaven. This person even dares to break the embankment of the Yellow River, what else does he dare not do? This simply doesn't put the people of the world in your eyes! So for a while, Li Shimin was completely crushed by Li Yuan's holy decree, and lived a life of drunken dreams and death all day long. "What else if not?" Li Shimin finally came to his senses, sighed deeply and said: "Xuan Ling, everything is gone, how can you make this king excited?" "Until the last moment, how can you be sure that Your Highness has no chance?" Fang Xuanling sighed. "Xuan Ling, this king knows about this matter, do you know? The news from Perak Hall that Dugu Feng has appeared in Chang'an, without the meaning of Dugu Huaien's guy, can Dugu Feng go to Chang'an? Li Shimin threw aside the wine jug in his hand and sneered: "These big families are like this, when they saw that our dynasty had the opportunity to seize the world, they came to Hebei one after another, but now?" Everyone is looking to Li Xin. "Your Highness, if you don't have a chance, then create an opportunity, then Li Xin started from scratch, didn't he also create a huge foundation? His Royal Highness has a lot of talents, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers, is it better than one Li Xin? Hou Junji said loudly: "Li Xin is nothing more than that, His Royal Highness Wen Taowu is a hero among the people, how can he be afraid of a Li Xin?" "Even General Hou has such courage, why doesn't His Highness have it?" Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, although Your Majesty has removed your official position, but you have not removed your title, you are still the King of Qin, and there are still tens of thousands of tigers under your command, and there are still many handsome people who are loyal to you." Moreover, the Yellow River burst its embankment, it seems that the emperor punished you, but those people of insight know that His Royal Highness is carrying a black pot for the emperor, His Royal Highness is not only not guilty, but also meritorious, if it were not for His Royal Highness's decisiveness, Li Xin is afraid that he would have invaded Hebei at this time, where can His Majesty the Emperor still sit in Xindu? His Majesty is the opposite of King Qi, and he has no credit, but the culprit of Shandong's affairs is still King Qi, but this person is still restless, and His Majesty the Emperor is already old and dizzy. "Shut up, Xuan Ling, don't say anything like that." Li Shimin glanced at his subordinates dissatisfied, and said, "My father is still the emperor of Da Zhao, and he is still my father." "Your Highness, do you know why Your Majesty let His Highness be hacked for this matter?" Hou Junji said loudly: "The last general thinks that His Majesty just wants to exclude His Royal Highness from the selection of the crown prince, otherwise, the main responsibility for this matter should be King Qi, not His Highness, Your Highness, since the emperor is not good for His Highness, does His Highness still want to use fair and righteous means to seize the world?" "You're presumptuous." Li Shimin stood up violently, pointed at Hou Junji and reprimanded loudly: "You can also say such a wordless without a king and a father? Aren't you afraid that this king will push you out and behead you? "Your Royal Highness, there is a sentence that the last general has been in my heart for a long time, today, if it is a peaceful season, let the crown prince succeed to the throne, at least he is a king of success, but now it is different, Li Xin's army is outside, and he will attack our army in the north at any time. The crown prince is only a king, not a founding king. Today's Da Zhao, only His Royal Highness can save Da Zhao. Prince Li Jiancheng is not that material at all. Hou Junji fell to his knees and said loudly. Your Royal Highness, General Hou's words are very reasonable, if it is an ordinary season, it will be counted, but now it is different, Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty is now in full swing, Li Xin will not go on the Northern Expedition this year, and will definitely go on the Northern Expedition next year, if His Royal Highness does not seize the time to lay out, Da Zhao will definitely not be able to resist Li Xin's soldiers and horses, Li Jiancheng may be okay to govern the world, but if you want to defeat Li Xin, it is absolutely impossible, only His Royal Highness can make a move, for the sake of Da Zhao, His Royal Highness cannot be merciful. Fang Xuanling said in a low voice: "When necessary, make a decision." "You want me to be Yang Guang!" Li Shimin looked into the distance and sighed in a low voice. "Yang Guang? If Yang Guang wins, then he is Mingjun, but unfortunately he is defeated, so he is called Duanjun. Fang Xuanling pointed it out sharply and said: "The same is true, if His Royal Highness can overcome the unification, inherit the throne, and then unify the world, then he will be the Ming Jun, and thousands of years later, he will only be praised by others." If Da Zhao fails, the world will know that His Highness is behind the black cauldron, but they will also think that the bursting of the Yellow River is His Highness's idea. (To be continued.) )
