Chapter 499: Li Yuan seizes power

"Go, big camp, I want to feast all the generals." Li Yuan suddenly thought of something, his face was much gloomy, Pei Lin followed, his heart trembled, at first Li Yuan did not have a seizure, on the one hand, it was for stability, and on the other hand, because of Li Xin, he wanted to see if Li Xin really attacked Li Zhao.

At the moment, although Li Xin was not preparing for Li Zhao to attack, Li Shimin's actions made Li Yuan tremble and fear, for fear that one day Li Shimin would use the military power in his hands to seize his throne, and in front of the throne, the relationship between father and son was nothing at all.

Pei Lin did not speak, but followed closely behind Li Yuan, while ordering people to prepare wine and food, while ordering to notify the generals and gather the Chinese army tent, since Li Yuan came, Li Jiancheng also gave up the position of the commander, that is, the Chinese army's big tent has been changed, and it has become much larger, enough for the civil and military ministers of the army to sit.

In the big tent, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji sat on one side, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning sat on one side, and other civil and military ministers such as Pei Lin and Dugu Huaien sat in turn, and then the new ones who were put into Li Zhao's camp, such as Xu Shiji, You Junda and other original Wagangzhai generals also sat one by one.

"Li Xin is under the city, I am here today to summon the secretaries, it's not that we have won, it's not that we have lost, it's just that we are not united internally, how can we deal with outsiders?" After Li Yuan sat down, he began to speak, and the faces of everyone in the big tent suddenly changed.

Li Shimin's face was pale, his eyes showed anger, and he looked at Li Jiancheng opposite, Li Jiancheng's face was calm, but Li Yuanji's face showed joy.

"Xu Aiqing, You Qing, you are all the pillars of the country, since you have joined my Great Zhao, I like it very much in my heart, and I have crowned Xu Shiji as the Duke of Liyang County, the General of Zuotun Wei, You Junda as the Duke of Jingyang County, and the General of Right Tunwei. The rest of the generals. Pei Lonely, the officials were rewarded heavily. Li Yuan smiled and said, "The official position, land, and mansion must be prepared properly, understand?" ”

"Obey." Pei Lin hurriedly came out and said.

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Xu Shiji, You Junda and other old generals of Wagangzhai looked overjoyed, and they knelt on the ground one after another to thank Li Yuan. Originally, after listening to Li Yuan's words, these people were still a little frightened in their hearts, but at this time, after listening to Li Yuan's reward, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Especially Xu Shiji, although the official position and title have not changed, it is still better than when he was in Liyang before, at least he can find an organization.

"King Qin." Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, his face was calm, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes, and finally turned into a long sigh.

"The son is here." Li Shimin's heart was bitter, his face was pale, and he knelt in the big tent. Keeping his head down, he regretted it very much, he would not have come here if he had known this. But if you don't come here, where can you go? Will he betray his father and brother?

"Where have my five chamberlains gone?" Li Yuan's voice was flat. There was calm in the big tent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, Li Shimin killed five chamberlains, and everyone in the government and the opposition knew about it. Now that Li Yuan is proposing it at this time, it is clear that he wants to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Father, this"

"Father. From Bingzhou to Hebei, he still has to pass through Dou Jiande's territory, perhaps these five people have been killed by Dou Jiande. Li Jiancheng said.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise, according to reason, at this time Li Jiancheng should take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he didn't expect to come to save himself at this time, this is he really thought that Li Jiancheng would help him speak, he was stunned, and soon understood the truth, on the one hand, Li Jiancheng still cares about brotherhood, and the other is balance, what Li Yuan needs is the balance of the court, the balance between the eldest son and the second son, if Li Shimin falls, Li Shimin will not be better.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is good for you to care about your brotherhood, but the fact is that the King of Qin killed the emperor's internal servants without authorization in order to be greedy for merit, which is a great disrespect, Li Xin led the army here, and successively captured Hedong and Huoyi, and is about to come to Jinyang, at this time the King of Qin has a heavy army, and he does not come to the rescue of Jinyang, hehe, the emperor, the old minister doubts the intentions of the King of Qin." Pei Lin said. He proudly took out the letter sent by Uncle Cui's heavy order, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by the Cui family in Boling, which clearly records the process of King Qin's killing of his chamberlain, and asks the emperor to investigate." ”

"Yes, father, the second brother is not just as simple as killing the inner servant, he is setting up a separate court, that is, watching Li Xin break through Hedong and Huoyi, and finally even Jinyang was captured, but he was able to cross Hebei, defeat Dou Jiande, and even replace his father, his wolf ambition is terrifying, and the son of Qin suggested that the king of Qin should be deprived of the title, expelled from the temple, and demoted to a concubine." Li Yuanji said gloomily.

"Father, can you accuse King Qin with just a letter? The retainers thought it was inappropriate. Princess Pingyang finally couldn't help but come out and said: "Even if the people of the world are wrong, it is not a simple matter for tens of thousands of troops to return to the state quickly. ”

"Sanniang, don't forget, if it weren't for King Qin's incompetence, how could the conquest of the south fail?" Li Yuanji's face turned angry, and he glared at Li Xiuning dissatisfied, this time is a good opportunity to kill Li Shimin, how could Li Yuanji let such an opportunity be missed, and said without thinking: "Li Shimin is incompetent, and he has been involved in the three armies, please behead his son." ”

"What about Hongnong's defeat?" Li Shimin didn't speak, but Li Xiuning said out loud: "The army of 50,000 was captured overnight, and in the end it was used by Li Xin. ”

"You." Li Yuanji was flustered for a while, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Li Xin sneak attacked from Tongguan, why did Perak Hall not warn, this is the main reason why this king's army defeated Hongnong, hehe, even Li Xin said that if it wasn't for Perak Hall, how could he quickly occupy Hongnong, this is the fault of King Qin." ”

"Shut up." Li Yuan above couldn't listen to it anymore, Li Yuanji, this stupid thing, was originally to deal with Li Shimin, but now it has become a melee between the sons, Li Yuan looked at the sons in front of him with disgust, his heart was tired, he just wanted to weaken Li Shimin's power, but he never thought about killing Li Shimin, killing Li Shimin, how will the world view him Li Yuan in the future?

"Father." Li Jiancheng knelt on the ground with some worry and said, "Although the second brother and the fourth brother are a little at fault, for the sake of the two of them, they will be lightly punished. ”

"Father, the son thinks what the prince said is very true." Li Xiuning also spoke.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng with disdain, and snorted coldly in his heart, this prince looks gentle and elegant, with the style of an eldest brother, but in fact, he inadvertently convicted himself, although it was changed from a felony to a misdemeanor, but he was always guilty, but he was afraid that he would be thought that Li Jiancheng had the bearing of a brother.

"Hey, King Qin, you have merit, I think so too, but merit is definitely not a reason for you to disobey the holy decree." Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng with approving, this kid may not be as good as Li Shimin in martial arts, but he is far above Li Shimin in terms of open-mindedness, and it is also a good choice for him to inherit the throne.

"Erchen, Erchen knows his mistakes." Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he knew that he might be punished, but there would definitely be no big punishment.

"Degrade you to the king of the county, take the official position of Shangshu Ling, and make the general a general, go back to your county king's mansion to think about it first! Without my holy decree, you are not allowed to leave the palace for half a step. Li Yuan's face was calm, but what he said made Li Shimin fall into hell, and it was nothing to be reduced to the king of the county, but this Tiance general was extremely important, it was an important proof to grasp Li Zhao's military power, and Li Yuan took back the military power in Li Shimin's hands with a word. There is only one empty position as a general, and thinking about it behind closed doors means that in a short period of time, Li Shimin is afraid that he will fade out of the government and the opposition, and he has been operating in the court for so long, I am afraid that these forces will also be in vain.

"Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, lost Hongnong, resulting in 50,000 elites being captured, demoted the prince to the king of the county, taking the title of Yulu for one year, and seizing the position of Situ." Li Yuan's voice was very flat, and when Li Yuanji was happy that Li Shimin was punished, when he heard Li Yuan's words, his face suddenly became much gloomy, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

"Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Xu Shiji." Li Yuan glanced at the three of them again, nodded, and said: "The affairs in the army, supernatural powers, you are the master, filial piety, Mao Gong, you two auxiliaries, so that you can reorganize the army for war." ”

"The ministers obey." The three generals did not dare to slack off and quickly received the will.

Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the last seat, saw it clearly, and sighed slightly in his heart, Li Yuan said a few words casually, and lifted Li Shimin's military power, and now the military power is divided into three, Li Shentong is loyal to Li Yuan and accounts for the majority, Li Xiaogong and Li Jiancheng are very close, Xu Shiji was brought back by Li Shimin, so the two also shared some, which made Fang Xuanling's nervous mind also let go, the division of military power, it can be seen that Li Yuan does not really want to punish Li Shimin, and punishing Li Shimin is also for military power, in the future, at a critical time, Li Shimin can still be used.

"Alright, get up!" Li Yuan was very proud in his heart, and even after the defeat, he saw that the military power of the 100,000 army was in his own hands, and he even beat the three sons with him, he felt very proud, the eldest son focused on political affairs, and the second son was okay in terms of martial arts, but his temperament was too wild, and he should be allowed to hone it at this time, so that he could be used in the future and be his eldest brother's arm, but the third son, forget it!

"Thank you, Father." Li Jiancheng and the others stood up one after another, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly relaxed, and no matter what changes happened in the court situation in the future, at least, today's matter would end here.

"Feast." Li Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Thank the emperor for the banquet." The crowd shouted. (To be continued......)
