At the gate of the magnificent palace, only a few soldiers patrolled back and forth, Wang Jue, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, and Zhao Hongzhi stood at the gate of the palace, and the street looked particularly deserted. Occasionally, a few officials passing by appeared, all of them as if they were hiding from the plague god, far away, looking like they were deeply afraid of implicating themselves.

Seeing this, Luo Shixin sighed in his heart, Wang Jue, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting are all core figures in the prince's mansion, and their status in the court may not be high, but they are usually people who respond to every call and everyone stammers.

Now?

The vicissitudes of this world, the world is hot and cold, nothing more than this.

Pingyang stepped forward to say hello, and Luo Shixin also said hello.

Wei Ting sighed: "After staying at this palace gate for nearly half an hour, the princess and the general were the only ones who came up to say hello to us. ”

Pingyang frowned and said angrily: "I don't believe it, the third sister came to send the eldest brother, and some people dared to make irresponsible remarks...... If he is worried, it would be good to remove me, and the future prince will be lawless! "Today, only Pingyang dares to say such things, and she has the best relationship with Li Shimin. It was because of the best relationship that it was unbearable for him to deal with their common sibling brother in such a way.

Since discovering that Qiao Gongshan, Er Zhuhuan and Du Feng were arranged by Li Shimin. Her prejudice against Li Shimin is very deep, and this woman's resentment is not exempt from vulgarity, even if it is Pingyang, she doesn't even want to call her name, and she replaces it with "he".

For Pingyang's words, he can only smile bitterly.

Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, and Zhao Hongzhi didn't dare to say this even if they hated Li Shimin to the core.

Seeing them should not speak. Binh Duong could only ask about his eldest brother's whereabouts.

Wang Jue said: "His Royal Highness said that he went to say goodbye to His Majesty, let us wait for him outside the palace first." It's been a long time, so it's coming soon! ”

Pingyang nodded silently. I didn't bother Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's words.

Li Jiancheng is gone, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to return to Chang'an in the short term, so let their father and son catch up with the old days.

Pingyang thought so, but he didn't know that Li Jiancheng had already said goodbye to Li Yuan, but he met a person on the way here, an unimaginable person.

Li Shimin!

Li Shimin rode his favorite horse Teller Bisle and quietly looked ahead. He has always been unable to do anything when Mount Tai collapsed, and he also showed a complicated expression at this moment.

He thought he wouldn't come, but he came anyway. With complicated feelings, he came to send the eldest brother in front of him, and said, "I'll send you." ”

Li Jiancheng didn't seem to expect Li Shimin to come, so he was stunned for a moment and smiled freely, and immediately stepped forward and said, "There is some surprise." I didn't think you'd come......"

The two rode side by side. There was not a word between them, and an atmosphere called silence enveloped them.

Long!

Li Shimin took the first step to break the deadlock: "In addition to sending a big brother, I also have one more thing to ask for." ”

"Say it!" Li Jiancheng responded.

"Datang needs talents, Wei Zheng is upright, his eyes are vicious, and he is good at government affairs; Wang Qi distinguishes the turbidity, and the disease and evil reward the good and has the ability to assist the world; Zhao Hongzhi is brilliant and quick-witted. Can preach one side. These three people, especially the first two, are rare talents in the world, so they are buried in Shu. It's too condescending. Li Shimin stared ahead, waiting for Li Jiancheng's answer.

"robbed me of the crown prince, and now he openly asks me for talents, and wants to cut off my left and right arms. Second brother, second brother, your abacus is really exquisite...... You think I'm going to agree to your request? Li Jiancheng said with a bit of sarcasm.

"You will!" Li Shimin turned a blind eye to Li Jiancheng's ridicule, nodded solemnly and said, "Because you are Li Jiancheng, my Li Shimin's eldest brother." ”

Li Jiancheng didn't say a word, continued to walk slowly, and suddenly raised his horse's whip and rode away, leaving only a sentence in the distance: "Treat them well...... I can't say two words of congratulations. It's just that since you won, you will always win, and let me become a dynasty that surpasses all previous dynasties. Such...... At least it proves that my losses are worth it. ”

Li Jiancheng's words disappeared with his figure.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng's distant figure and let out a long sigh.

The two of them were silent all the way, and they had spoken to each other less than ten sentences, but they used up almost all of his energy.

He knew that he couldn't live with Li Jiancheng, but he knew that Li Jiancheng didn't need his apology.

Between them, it's just a matter of winning and losing, that's all.

Li Jiancheng didn't need pity, and he had no regrets.

**********

Outside the palace at this time!

Pingyang, Luo Shixin, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others finally waited for Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng rode out of the palace alone.

"Third sister! Sister-in-law! I can't eat your wedding wine, so this sister-in-law will call in advance. Li Jiancheng came closer, took off a piece of jade and jade from his waist and said: "I don't have anything to give, this jade pendant should be a congratulatory gift for you in advance." ”

"Big brother......" Pingyang exclaimed sadly, her eyes were slightly red when she was sentimental recently.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Luo Shixin took the jade pendant from Li Jiancheng's hand extremely cautiously and put it away.

Li Jiancheng chuckled and said, "It's not life and death, don't be sad." ”

At this time, Wang Jue stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's not early, you can go on the road." The princess and the others have been waiting in the manor outside the city for a long time, and the road to Shu is difficult. Missing the hour is extremely troublesome. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Shuju, Xuancheng, Hongzhi, the three of you stay, and it is enough for Wei Ting and Shi Mo to accompany me to the south." ”

"Your Highness?" Wang Jue, Wei Zheng, and Zhao Hongzhi were shocked one after another and bowed deeply.

Wang Jue said in a deep voice: "We are willing to follow His Highness south. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Stay, Datang needs you." Isn't it, if this is not the prince, you will not follow my wishes? ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "Don't dare, let's stay." ”

Wang Qi and Zhao Hongzhi still want to say.

Li Jiancheng said: "It is still Xuancheng who understands the truth best, and this matter is decided." You can rest assured, whether it is your father or the king of Qin, they will not treat you badly. He said with a hearty smile and said, "Hurry up, you don't have to leave......" He beckoned Wei Ting and Xu Shimo to whip away.

Wei Zheng shook his waist at the figure.

"Wei Zheng, I didn't expect you to be such a person...... Hum! Wang Jue threw his sleeves away angrily.

Zhao Hongzhi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, turned around and left.

Wei Zheng didn't speak, smiled bitterly, shook his head and wanted to leave.

"Why didn't the gentleman explain it to them?" Luo Shixin suddenly stopped Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng smiled disappreciatively: "Wei has a clear conscience, why explain." They can figure it out, and naturally they don't need to explain. If you don't understand it, what's the use of explaining? General, Wei took his leave. ”

Pingyang said blankly: "Why didn't I understand? ”

Luo Shixin sighed: "I think I can appreciate a little bit, since ancient times, the power struggle is endless. No one is willing to admit defeat, and no one believes that the opponent is willing to give in. His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be canonized as the crown prince in the near future, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu has gone to Western Shu and has been defeated. However, if His Royal Highness the King of Shu still retains the members of the shogunate when he was the crown prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin may not think about him. Even if he doesn't do what he thinks, some people will use this as an excuse to make trouble for the so-called speculation. Similarly, if the crown prince's shogunate is not dissolved, even if His Royal Highness the King of Shu has no intention of fighting for anything, will those members of the shogunate be willing to give up? Now His Royal Highness the King of Shu has left Wang Jue, Wei Zheng, and Zhao Hongzhi in Chang'an, just to tell the King of Qin that his right-hand man is not by his side, so that he can eliminate his fearless suspicions. In the same way, he also told the people around him about his intentions. ”

"Big brother, it's great!" Pingyang was moved, and felt worthless for him.

Luo Shixin didn't continue, but just said: "The King of Shu is indeed a great character......

Li Jiancheng is naturally not the Virgin White Lotus, but a wise politician who should make a decision.

When you can fight, try your best to fight, and do whatever it takes. Knowing that it is indisputable, then let go of a qiē and calmly face failure, which is a mind that a true politician must have.

It is foolish to know that you will fail, but you still want to come to your senses, and even seek so-called victory at the expense of the interests of your own group. Li Jiancheng is not a fool, he is a clever person. He knows that if he continues to fight, Xishu is rich, but the congenital disadvantage is there, and there is only one ending. That would be a failure, and his family and children would be destroyed.

He has already lost, he is a loser, and the consequences of failure can be tasted by himself. Trapped beasts are still fighting, which is not a rational and rational approach, and the end will only involve one person who is related to him.

So he left, walking very freely, and walking made Luo Shi's confidence respectful.

It's amazing to be able to put down a qiē.

In fact, Luo Shixin's guess was also a little incorrect, after all, he didn't know that Li Shimin specially found Li Jiancheng and specially asked him for Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, and Zhao Hongzhi.

Just one month after Li Jiancheng left Chang'an, Li Yuan officially canonized Li Shimin as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty under the calculation of Taishi Ling, and officially entered the East Palace.

The history of the Tang Dynasty has developed in a completely new direction under the intervention of Luo Shixin.

Whether it is good or bad, Luo Shixin himself does not know, but at least from the current ending, it is still extremely happy.

Luo Shixin is still the number one general of his imperial party, and his relationship with Li Shimin is only known to a few people.

Li Yuan was originally a master who liked to be the shopkeeper, but now that things are happening one after another, he is even more in no mood to deal with state affairs, and he has lost the military and government to Li Shimin, Pei Lin and other prime ministers.

Li Shimin also seemed to have changed a little willfulness, and reciprocated Pei Lian's overtures, letting go of the contradictions between Liu Wenjing and him back then.

The two parties are united in governing the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin also reflects his open-minded side, and he has not rejected the talents left by Li Jiancheng in the general situation.

A qiē thriving.

In this period of peace, Luo Shixin also ushered in the greatest joy in his life. (To be continued......)

PS: It's a bit of a personal matter, delayed. There is only this one today, and I will make up for it tomorrow, sorry.
