Chapter 629: Liu Wenjing's Death

"Moving the capital is a major event of the country, and the sons and daughters think that it is better for their father to be arbitrary." Li Jiancheng showed a cold sweat on his forehead, and finally gritted his teeth and said.

Li Yuan frowned, and finally seemed to think of something, nodded and said: "The matter of moving the capital is very important, I have to think about it, this time Li Xin captured the Bird Mouse Valley, but Hedong was ravaged by the Turks, plus Henan, Jingzhou, and Jiangnan, although they were all included in Li Xin's rule, but these places still need Li Xin to pay a lot of manpower and material resources for the time being, in order to completely transform these territories into his own territory and increase his strength, it is estimated that it is impossible to do not have a year or two, In the battle of Hedong, there were many casualties, and Li Xin probably had no time to pay attention to the affairs of Taiyuan in a short time. The relocation can be discussed slowly. ”

In his heart, there is one more thing that he didn't say, that is, Li Xin is afraid that he will be called the emperor, and even Luoyang has it, Li Zitong and Shen Faxing in Jiangnan are not Qin Qiong and Du Fuwei's opponents at all, and it is only a matter of time before Jiangnan falls into Li Xin, to such a point, if Li Xin does not want to ascend the throne and become emperor, I am afraid that his subordinates will not agree.

Li Xin's ascension to the throne as emperor brought even more pressure to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan decided to seriously consider whether to move the capital or not. It is just as Li Jiancheng said, this matter is very important, and the survival of Da Zhao in the future, Li Yuan, as the master of the empire, has to consider.

"Prince, send someone to pick up King Qin! The soldiers and horses temporarily returned to Taiyuan to recuperate. Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and ordered.

"Yes." Li Jiancheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his head, in the end, he was old, Li Yuan was also a little powerless, waved his hand, and everyone retreated.

Outside the main hall, Pei Lin called out to Li Jiancheng and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince." Remember, if someone suggests moving the capital to the court, don't agree. ”

"Why is this so? What Lord Dugu said is not wrong. If the capital is not moved, Taiyuan will face the attack of Li Xin's soldiers, not only the government and the opposition will be shaken, even the people will be frightened, once Li Xin's soldiers and horses come to the city, it will cause the price of various materials such as grain among the people to rise, which the imperial court can not bear. Li Jiancheng said hesitantly.

"Once the capital is moved. Jingshi is stable, but the position of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace is about to be taken away by King Qin. Pei Lin said gloomily: "Don't forget, whether it is Youzhou or Jizhou, it was all beaten down by King Qin, once the Jingshi enters Youzhou or Jizhou, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still sit in the position of the East Palace safely?" ”

Li Jiancheng's face changed when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with fear, and he only remembered this question at this time. Now in Taiyuan, Taiyuan is still what he Li Jiancheng said, and the general who guards the city still listens to him Li Jiancheng, if he really goes to Youzhou or Jizhou. Do you still listen to your own defense? Even if he listens to himself, outside of Jingshi, there are Li Shimin's people, according to what Pei Lin said, this crown prince is really unstable.

"But my father doesn't necessarily disagree! After all, this is Taiyuan. Li Xin's soldiers and horses will come to the city at any time. Li Jiancheng sighed. He also wanted to oppose this matter, but he knew Li Yuan's character very well and encountered this kind of thing. According to Li Yuan's character, he may not agree to move the capital.

"Then move the capital to Hebei, give Taiyuan to the King of Qin, and let the King of Qin garrison Taiyuan to resist Li Xin and the Turks." Pei Lin gritted his teeth and said: "The prince sits in the court, grasps the supply of grain and grass, and meets the Kanto family, even if he marries a woman from the Kanto family, but he can't let the King of Qin appear in Hebei." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "What Master Pei said is very true, I didn't take the position of the prince to heart, but the second brother is good at military strategy, but he is not good at political affairs, and if the position of the prince is handed over to him, there will be many ministers in the court who are not satisfied, and it will definitely cause changes in the court situation, which is extremely unfavorable to Da Zhao." ”

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, the Kanto family pays the most attention to the patriarchal system, and adheres to the primogeniture inheritance system, and they will all support His Royal Highness the Prince, which is known from the support of His Royal Highness from the Boling Cui clan." Pei Lin comforted: "Although King Qin is powerful, in front of the courtiers, he will definitely not support King Qin." ”

"I'm afraid I'll need the boss's help." Li Jiancheng thought about it, and respectfully bowed to Pei Lian, Pei Lin and Li Yuan had no scruples, Li Jiancheng regarded Pei Lin as an elder, which made some sense.

"Don't dare to do this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too much." Pei Lian's face suddenly showed a smug look, his eyes flickered, he still has old qualifications in the court, but this kind of old qualification is a bit of a feeling of relying on the old and selling the old in Li Shimin's eyes, so Li Shimin doesn't look down on him at all, but Li Jiancheng has always regarded himself as a Confucian disciple, and treats people like Pei Lin as a junior.

"The boss is the pillar of the country, and there will be Lao Lao in the future of the court." Li Jiancheng hurriedly said.

"If you want to shake the power of King Qin in the court, you must first solve a person, as long as he is there, there must be someone in the court who will support King Qin, if you get rid of this person, it is equivalent to cutting off King Qin's strength." Pei Lian's eyes were scorching, and the fierce light flickered, looking at Li Jiancheng.

"Liu Wenjing?" Li Shimin's eyes shrank, and he suddenly said with some embarrassment: "But Liu Wenjing is the founder of the country, if he kills this person, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will criticize." Killing heroes, I'm afraid my father won't agree to it. ”

"Ordinary crimes are naturally not good, but what if they are treasonous?" Pei Lian's triangular eyes flashed gloomily, and said: "King Qin can have today, mostly because of Liu Wenjing's credit, the old minister heard that Liu Wenjing is in prison, and he mostly said that his credit is very great, if there is no him, there will be no today's Dazhao." Without him, I'm afraid the emperor will be in Taiyuan, and if he can't get it, he will become Li Xin's courtier! ”

"Thieves are hateful." Li Jiancheng's face suddenly changed a lot after hearing this, no matter whether Liu Wenjing said these words or not, maybe Pei Lin added it himself, but Pei Lin said one thing very correctly, that is, Liu Wenjing is Li Shimin's person, above the court, he has helped Li Shimin a lot, if he doesn't get rid of Liu Wenjing, he will definitely help Li Shimin and bring trouble to himself. Pei Lin is right, people like Liu Wenjing must die.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, Liu Wenjing's matter, I'm afraid the emperor also knows it, but because of his identity as a hero, it will be like this, wait for the minister to find some evidence, and then play Your Majesty." At that time, even if the emperor was reluctant, he had to act in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. Pei Lin said with a gloomy heart.

"That's very good." Li Jiancheng thought about it, sighed slightly, and said: "You don't have to kill him, after all, he still made great contributions to Da Zhao, let him leave the court!" It's okay to say goodbye and return to your hometown. "Li Jiancheng is still a little kinder.

"Your Highness rest assured, if he is innocent, you can let him leave the court." Pei Lin hurriedly said. There was a sneer in his heart, in fact, he had long wanted to kill Liu Wenjing, although he had sent Liu Wenjing to the prison before, in fact, whether it was Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng, he didn't want Liu Wenjing's life, but now, at least Li Jiancheng has been shaken, so he has more determination to kill Liu Wenjing.

Li Shimin didn't know that Pei Lin was ready to attack his most powerful subordinates, and he also led tens of thousands of troops deep into Taihang Mountain, although he carried a lot of grain and grass on his body, but in this place of Taihang Mountain, in the deep mountains and dense forests, there are countless poisonous snakes and beasts, especially when marching at night, it is even more difficult.

However, after entering the Taihang Mountain for a period of time, Li Shimin led the army to set off from the mountain road and came to Hebei, although Hebei has been in war for a long time, but in the end it is the place where he has pacified, Li Shimin at this time, has taken Hebei as his own base to operate, and the first stop is to go to Hebei.

"Your Royal Highness, if you want to seize the crown prince, you must not only have strength in the army, but also have someone in the court, otherwise, you will not speak for Your Highness in front of the emperor." Riding a war horse, Fang Xuanling followed Li Shimin's side and analyzed the situation in front of him and said.

"How is Liu Wenjing?" Li Shimin thought about it and said, he didn't want to use Liu Wenjing, but Liu Wenjing was his confidant, and he did help him in the court.

"Although Lord Liu is the founder of the country, his character determines that this person must not be liked by the emperor, and it may be difficult for His Royal Highness to reuse Liu Wenjing." Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "If it is possible, my subordinates think that His Highness can go to Pei Lian." ”

"Pei Lone!" Li Shimin suddenly took a breath, he remembered that his relationship with Pei Lin was not bad back then, but unfortunately, after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he couldn't get used to Pei Lian, thinking that Pei Lin only relied on his flattery to become an important minister of the imperial court, although Liu Wenjing didn't know how to speak, but he was a capable person. So he was biased towards Liu Wenjing, but Pei Lin fell in love with Li Jiancheng, and now that he thinks about it, Li Shimin regrets it a little. Because Li Yuan trusted Pei Lin more.

"If Pei Lin is so easy to be bribed, I'm afraid the emperor won't trust him." Wei Zheng said disdainfully: "Compared with Pei Lian, if His Royal Highness can get close to the Kanto family, no matter where His Royal Highness is, he can influence the situation." In my opinion, the emperor will definitely move the capital this time, but as for whether it is in Hebei or Youzhou, I am not sure, no matter where it is, Da Zhao will pay attention to the family gate valve in Shandong, and if His Royal Highness befriends the gate valve of the Kanto family, he will be able to gain an invincible position. ”

"Yes, that's good." Li Shimin nodded, he was impatient to make friends with the Kanto family, but when he just came out of Taihang Mountain, he received a report from the palace that Liu Wenjing was beheaded by Li Yuan for the crime of treason. (To be continued......)
