Chapter 796: Brother Xiao Wall
"Father, it's better to let the sons and daughters go and deliver the decree in person." Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. His eyes flickered, and the aura on his body became more gloomy than before.
"Hey!" Li Yuan was about to agree, but saw Li Yuanji walk out.
"Father, it's better for the sons and daughters to go." Li Yuanji said loudly: "Regardless of whether it is the King of Qin or Li Xin behind this matter, Erchen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not go to the camp of the King of Qin. ”
Everyone changed their faces when they heard this, everyone is a smart person, how can they not know what Li Yuanji means by this sentence, this is completely suspicious of Li Shimin, and even suspect that Li Shimin will do other things, this is already a terrifying thing, and for a while everyone will look at Li Yuanji. Whether it is or not, Li Yuanji's words have shocked the world.
Killing a brother and forcing a father? Did King Qin have such courage? Once the matter is done, I am afraid that everyone in the world will oppose Li Shimin! Even if he becomes the crown prince, no one will support him.
"Shut up, King Qi, is that what you say?" Uncle Cui glared at Li Yuanji with dissatisfaction and said, "Your Majesty, King Qin may have made mistakes in one way or another, but if he wants to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister thinks that this is absolutely impossible. ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, King Qin definitely doesn't have the courage to do this. Pei Lin was stunned at first, and at this time he couldn't help but speak. Competing for the position of the crown prince is naturally an all-encompassing means, but if it is said that Li Shimin will be arrogant to this extent, the possibility is very small, at this time, if Li Jiancheng is attacked, I am afraid that the public opinion in the world will not spare him.
"Erchen also believes that the second brother will not do such a thing." Li Jiancheng thought about it and said. In fact, he was also a little worried in his heart, but he didn't want to say it at this time.
"Yuanji, you go and preach the holy decree." Li Yuan glanced at the two brothers, and his heart was desolate, although he had already had this kind of awareness. But when he appeared in front of him now, Li Yuan still felt that he had failed to be a father.
"Let's all go down!" Pei Lin also saw the feelings in his old friend's heart, and dared everyone to go out.
"Pei Lian, do you think I, Li Yuan, am I a failure?" Li Yuan leaned on the dragon bed, his expression was gray, and he said softly.
"Your Majesty, the struggle for imperial power has been like this since ancient times, wasn't it the same when Yang Jian was alive before? Yang Guang is the same, and Li Xin in the future is the same. The battle for succession has existed in all dynasties, and no one can escape. After all, the position of the Son of Heaven is that one, everyone wants to get it, and it is expected that King Qin will do this. Pei Lin said with relief.
"Do you think this matter really has anything to do with King Qin?" Li Yuan looked at Pei Lin and said.
Pei Lin was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Your Majesty, whether this matter has anything to do with it or not, you should say that it doesn't matter, otherwise, the imperial court is afraid that it will cause a disaster, how can you resist Li Xin's attack in the future?" ”
Li Yuan was silent. What Pei Lin said was exactly what he was worried about, Li Xin will go on a northern expedition next year, get rid of Li Shimin, who can command the army to resist Li Xin's invasion. Could it be that it is impossible to watch Li Xin occupy his own country? Li Yuan sighed deeply at this time.
"I regret it now. If I knew this, I would have married Sanniang to Li Xin in the first place, otherwise, I, Li Yuan, would have unified the world a long time ago. This is the first time Li Yuan has admitted that he was blind back then.
"Your Majesty. Li Xin is ambitious, even if His Majesty marries Sanniang to him, I am afraid he will still conspire to rebel. The corners of Pei Lian's mouth showed a hint of disdain. A person like Li Xin would not be loyal to a certain person because of a woman at all, so Li Yuan's regret was of no use at all.
"That's probably all there is to it now." Li Yuan nodded, his mood was much better, and he sighed: "Let people announce it!" Li Xin is despicable and shameless, vainly trying to have a father-son relationship between my monarch and ministers, which is very hateful, such a person is not worthy of being a king. also let everyone in the world know the true face of Li Xin. ”
"Yes." Pei Lin nodded, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although Li Yuan was old, he still calmed down, knowing that at this time, Li Shimin must not be moved, otherwise it would be self-destruction of the Great Wall, and in the end it was still himself who was unlucky. It can be said that Li Yuan has endured things that ordinary people can't endure.
"Pei Lian, I'm old, this time I have seen it thoroughly, Li Xin is treacherous, if you want to deal with Li Xin, you need to have a young man with infinite energy to deal with heavy state affairs and wars, I want to give the Zen throne to the prince, what do you think?" Li Yuan suddenly understood something and said to Pei Lian.
"Your Majesty Ryoma Spirit." Pei Lin was about to continue, but was stopped by Li Yuan.
"Hehe, Pei Lian, I'm not joking with you, people have sometimes, and it's the same now, I can't disobey the old! The crown prince is an adult, has handled state affairs for so many years, and has rich experience, if he ascends the throne now, he can also break Erlang's thoughts, what do you think? Li Yuan said very calmly.
"Your Majesty. Although Li Xin is strong, if the crown prince and the three brothers of King Qin and King Qi can work together, they will definitely be able to resist Li Xin's invasion. Pei Lin knew that Li Yuan had made a decision, and this sentence was not for fun, so he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and said to Li Yuan.
"Also, pass the message to Xuanba! He was canonized as the King of Zhao, the general of Tianwei God, under the King of Qin and above the kings. Li Yuan suddenly said very calmly: "July is the birthday of Empress Taimu, he can not recognize me as the emperor, but my mother always has to recognize it!" Let him come back! Good to see his mother. ”
"Yes." Pei Lian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he took a serious look at Li Yuan, and had to admit that Li Yuan was treacherous, Li Yuan didn't look down on Li Xuanba, but Queen Dou had the grace to Li Xuanba, although Li Xuanba was very ugly, but Queen Dou didn't dislike the other party, and still raised him.
Without Li Xuanba, Li Xin will not have a deterrent force in the northwest, and the Turks will definitely be ready to move and threaten the security of the northwest, and when the Northern Expedition next year, Li Xin's soldiers and horses can also be dragged back. As for King Zhao and General Tianwei Shen, all of this is nothing, if Li Xuanba can be persuaded back, Li Yuan can be willing to take the position of prince.
"Very good, tell the crown prince and the king of Qi that Li Xin is the biggest enemy of this dynasty at the moment, and other things are not important, and when Li Xin is solved, their brothers can fight as much as they want, and I will definitely not care. Hehe, of course, I have already decided to pass on the throne to Jiancheng, and King Qin probably won't fight for it. Li Yuan still decided to cut through the chaos quickly, and he must not let his country continue to be chaotic, and the battle between brothers can only be Li Xin in the end.
"Yes, Your Majesty is a good student, the minister will go to see the King of Qi, the King of Qi has some misunderstanding about the King of Qin, and the minister will explain now." Pei Lin also spoke. He suddenly remembered the expression of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, just now, and suddenly said with some worry in his heart.
"That's very good. There is Lao Peiqing. Li Yuan nodded, waved his hand, and let Pei Lian retreat.
In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng sat behind several cases with a gloomy face, Li Yuanji sat on the side, and only heard him say dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, this King of Qin is too arrogant, I don't think he takes big brother in his eyes at all!" During this time, the eldest brother is dealing with the government affairs, according to reason, if he wants to enter Beijing, he first needs to report to his father, or he also needs to inform the prince! But he didn't have anything, so he came with a swagger, and he also brought more than a thousand elite troops, Xuanjia Iron Cavalry! What is this? ”
Li Yuanji's eyes flickered, but the depths of his eyes showed a light of jealousy, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was Li Zhao's most elite cavalry, but such a cavalry was in the hands of Li Shimin, which made Li Yuanji very jealous in his heart.
"What if not? Don't forget that Li Xin is going on a northern expedition next year, can you block the attack of Li Xin and his generals? Li Jiancheng raised his head and said, "Even if this matter is something he did, what can he do?" He can see it now, Da Zhao can't leave him, and if he wants to deal with Li Xin, he has to take action from Li Shimin himself. ”
"Damn." Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that the matter is just like this?" Big brother, if you give in like this, it can only make Li Shimin more and more arrogant, if you take a step back, he will go further. Big brother, you must not back down on such a thing, he is ruining your reputation, how can such a thing be let go so easily? His reputation is no longer good now, and what he wants is to ruin the reputation of his eldest brother, so that they are in the same position. I don't think he took Da Zhao's state affairs seriously at all, but only thought about his own interests. ”
Li Jiancheng was silent, and suddenly said, "What do you think should be done about this matter?" ”
"Take him, first force him to hand over the military power, and then divide his generals, let those generals submit to His Highness, and wait until the eldest brother is in control of the overall situation, and then release him. At that time, Li Shimin only needed to command the army. Li Shimin, who does not have military power, cannot threaten the status of the eldest brother. Li Yuanji said proudly.
"Can my father agree?" Li Jiancheng said with some worry.
"As long as the matter is done, even if the father is against it, there is no way, will the father still blame the eldest brother and abolish the eldest brother's crown prince?" Li Yuanji said disdainfully.
"This? Isn't it too risky. Li Jiancheng still said with some hesitation.
"Just wait until Li Shimin comes to Beijing and then take action. Don't forget, there are only more than 100 people around Li Shimin, can he still make waves in Xindu? This place is the territory of the big brother. Li Yuanji's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
"Okay, you go and pass the decree and let him return to Beijing. Remember, just have a better attitude. Li Jiancheng patted his thigh and said.
"Big brother, just wait!" Li Yuanji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. (To be continued.) )
