Xindu is not as solemn and magnificent as Chang'an, the kind of spirit of the Heavenly Empire, and even a strong city like Taiyuan can not be compared, at most on the Hebei Plain, it is a heroic city, but this is the capital of Li Zhao, which could have been built well, but unfortunately, with the defeat of the war with Li Xin, the construction of Xindu is not very good.

When Li Shimin had just led hundreds of cavalry to Xindu, he was brought to the main hall by Li Yuan's holy decree, and even the sword on his body was given, which made Li Shimin feel bad.

"Father." But when he saw Li Yuan, he couldn't help but show a look of horror, because Li Yuan was old, and even Li Shimin didn't know him.

"Old, old. Get up! Li Yuan felt relieved for a while, but when he thought of something, he still sighed: "Erlang, my father is asking you now, did you spread the rumor?" ”

"Father, even if the son has the courage, he doesn't dare to say such a thing and slander his brother." Li Shimin's heart was desolate, and his father still doubted himself. This kind of father-son suspicion is more powerful than anything else.

"Okay, Father believes in you, get up!" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin seriously, and finally nodded, and said: "All along, I, Li Yuan, think that I am no worse than Li Xin, because I have three wise and martial sons, they are like brothers and sisters, and they help each other, which Li Xin can't compare, so my father has always hoped that your three brothers can help each other, Shimin!" Only your own brother can be trusted in the world! Li Xin is just a reckless man, what ability does he have to sit firmly? As long as you three brothers work together, Li Xin is definitely not your opponent, build a center, plan grain and grass, Yuanji trains the army, and you command the army. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are used by your three brothers, and who else can resist the joint efforts of your brothers! ”

"Father's lesson." Li Shimin didn't agree with it in his heart, but at this time, he still hurriedly conformed to the Tao.

"Wait for two months, and when Xuanba returns, I will restore your official position." Li Yuan comforted.

"Xuanba is coming back?" Li Shimin was overjoyed and couldn't help asking. He didn't expect that as the number one military general in the world, he would come back.

"He must come back, otherwise, the world is so big, I'm afraid there will be no place for him to stay. Not to mention. I have already canonized him as the King of Zhao, the general of Shenweitian, and the position is only below you, which Li Xin cannot give him. Li Xin trusts him, but he will never give him the title of king. Li Yuan said proudly: "Two months will be your mother's birthday, although Xuanba betrayed me, but after all, it was your mother's birth, I have already sent a decree to him, he will definitely come back." ”

"Father is wise." Only then did Li Shimin know. Why Li Yuan was so sure that Li Xuanba would come back was because of this.

"Father and Emperor are old, and the matter of fighting against Li Xin will be handed over to you three brothers." Although Li Yuan ostensibly canonized Li Xuanba. But Li Shimin still heard it from inside, Li Yuan did not forgive Li Xuanba, and even expelled him from the three brothers, which made him a little surprised. Also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurriedly said: "Father is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you say the old word?" ”

"Being old is being old, and it can't be compared to before. Da Zhao needs a young emperor, and when Xuanba comes back, I will issue an edict to give up the throne to Jiancheng, and I will live in the harem and not ask about the world. Li Yuan's words completely shocked Li Shimin, and the boss who opened Li Shimin's mouth in horror showed a complicated look in the depths of his eyes.

He never thought that Li Yuan, who had always played balance in the court and was greedy for imperial power, would actually give up the throne and prepare to cede to Li Jiancheng. This is simply a bolt from the blue for Li Shimin, once Chan gives up the throne, it is to set the status of the monarch and minister, if Li Shimin makes a move at this time, it is not to seize the heir, but to rebel, and no one in the court will support him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a trace of jealousy in his heart, how can Li Jiancheng be virtuous, what qualifications does he have to become the emperor, in terms of wisdom and martial arts, Li Jiancheng is far inferior to himself, in terms of contribution to Da Zhao, if it weren't for his hard support, Li Xin would have occupied Da Zhao and unified the whole country, this emperor should have belonged to himself, what qualifications did Li Jiancheng have to take it.

He still hates Li Yuan, for the sake of the so-called patriarchal system, he actually didn't even care about the empire he had worked so hard to create, and let a mediocre Li Jiancheng be the emperor, do you think he can resist Li Xin? It's a big joke.

However, Li Shimin did not have a seizure, at this time, that is, looking for death, Li Yuan in order to ensure the smooth inheritance of the throne, he would never let himself make a move, his opposition could only increase Li Yuan's disgust, and even force him to attack himself.

According to Li Yuan's calculations, Li Xuanba's return to Dazhao was already a sure thing, at that time, as long as there were generals in the court, he could command the army, and with Li Xuanba's charge, it was not impossible to defeat Li Xin. In this way, Li Shimin's role is not very important.

"It's only two months away." Li Shimin secretly estimated, and finally determined his deadline, if nothing else, Li Yuan must have issued an order to give up the throne at that time, as long as the edict came out, the status of the monarch and the minister was determined, and what Li Shimin wanted to do was impossible.

"This must not be allowed to happen." Li Shimin's eyes flashed with determination.

"I believe that the eldest brother will lead us to defeat Li Xin, seize the world, and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world." Li Shimin said respectfully: "Erchen will definitely assist the eldest brother to complete the great cause of reunification." Facing Li Yuan, Li Shimin had to bow his head.

"Okay, good, you have this heart, and my father is very happy." Li Yuan, who has been paying attention to Li Shimin, was very happy after hearing this, he knew that his son was ambitious, but unfortunately, he was not the eldest son, and now that he had agreed to assist Li Jiancheng, then he Li Yuan would be relieved. Just wait for the good life to compensate him in the future.

"Father Xie, this is what a son should do." Li Shimin's heart was relieved, and a smile returned to his face, now that he had made a decision, Li Shimin was even more relieved. He arched his hand and said: "When Erchen came, he hadn't yet visited His Royal Highness the Prince, Erchen wanted to meet his eldest brother, Li Xin would definitely go on a northern expedition next year, and Erchen wanted to discuss it with his eldest brother." ”

"Good, good, brothers are united, and their profits are gold. Father believes in you. Li Yuan patted Li Shimin's shoulder and said, "Go, go to the East Palace." ”

"Big brother, just waiting for your order, I have already let people ambush at the entrance of the palace, just waiting for Li Shimin to come out." In the East Palace, Li Yuanji walked in happily, he was wearing armor, holding a sword, and said proudly: "As far as the more than 100 people around him are not our opponents at all, first destroy his guards, and then arrest him, put him in prison, and see how arrogant he is." ”

"Forget it, don't do it." Li Jiancheng shook his head and said.

"Why?" Li Yuanji suddenly poured down like a basin of cold water, poured himself a cold heart, and couldn't help but say dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, this is a good opportunity, take the second brother directly, aren't the soldiers and horses under his command still in charge of the big brother?" Didn't those generals listen to their brother's orders? Are you afraid that they will not come along? ”

"Don't be so troublesome, my father is ready to give me the throne, two months later, I will be the new emperor, unless your second brother wants to leave a stench for 10,000 years and rebel, he can only obey my orders and wills, if he wants to rebel, the generals and soldiers below will not agree." Li Jiancheng smiled and said with relief.

"Ahh Father wants to give up the throne? Li Yuanji's eyes showed a look of surprise, but in his heart he was extremely angry, and there was a trace of panic, standing there quietly, not knowing what to do. This news was too sudden for him, he had known that there was such a thing, why was Li Yuanji still fanning the flames by the side?

"Yes, it was Pei Lin who told me, my father is old, and if you want to deal with Li Xin, you must need a young emperor, so there will be a Zen to give up the throne." Li Jiancheng was obviously much more relaxed, and said to Li Yuanji: "As long as it is two months later, everything will not matter, and Xuanba will also come back." Yuanji, when Xuanba returns, you are the general, and Xuanba is the vanguard, see how Li Xin resists your attack. ”

Li Jiancheng was very relaxed at this time, and these days, Li Yuan had already handed over most of the power to himself. It seems that Li Yuan is really ready to give up the throne, although Li Shimin puts more pressure on himself, but he can't say for sure in the future.

"Brother Chen, congratulations to the eldest brother." After Li Yuanji heard this, his face was cloudy, but soon he was full of smiles, and he arched his hand towards Li Jiancheng and said, "Congratulations to the eldest brother on coming to the world soon." ”

"In the future, I will not treat you badly." Li Jiancheng couldn't help but pat Li Yuanji's shoulder proudly at this time and said, "I am in charge of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and you are in charge of the army." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie." Li Yuanji lowered his head and his eyes flickered, but he couldn't help but have a trace of hatred in his heart, he didn't expect that Li Yuan would give up the throne to Li Jiancheng so soon.

Li Jiancheng is right, if Li Jiancheng really ascends the throne and wants to seize the throne again, this difficulty will increase a lot, even if it is a rebellion, it will be a question whether the generals under his subordinates will follow.

"If you want to seize the throne, it's been these two months, and I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Li Yuanji's heart flashed with countless thoughts in an instant. What is the reward, no matter how rewarded, it is just above a king, where is the majesty of the emperor. (To be continued.) )
