Chapter 730: Taboo
When Li Shimin rushed to the palace, he found that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had also rushed to the palace, and Li Yuan was wearing a white coat, which was paid by Li Shimin, and it was made of a white tiger skin, and Li Yuan liked it very much.
"Jiro is here." As soon as Li Yuan saw Li Shimin, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, no matter what, Li Shimin is his son, and after leaving Li Yuan for so long, everything in the past has faded a lot, and now that Li Yuan is old, he even has a trace of guilt for Li Shimin.
"Father." Li Shimin's eyes showed a hint of complexity, and he arched his hand and said, "Father, Li Xin has begun to attack Shandong." ”
"Second brother, you are wrong, it's not Li Xin, it's Zhang Zhenzhou, it's Cheng Biting Jin, and it's only tens of thousands of people who are carrying, Xu Shiji can definitely resist the attack of the two." Li Yuanji said disdainfully.
"Who knows if Li Xin will attack! You know, Li Xin escaped from the sea in the first place, will he also attack Shandong from the sea this time? You must know that Qin Qiong has an army of 100,000! Li Shimin frowned and said with a slight dissatisfaction.
"With the presence of the King of Huai'an, plus the 100,000 army left by Yuan Ji in Shandong, presumably no matter how powerful Qin Qiong is, it will still be difficult to repel the 100,000 army!" Li Yuan also spoke at this time. Although his voice was very flat, the meaning in it was still very clear, because he believed in the 100,000 army,
After Li Jiancheng listened, his mouth opened, and in the end he didn't speak, the situation in Shandong, others don't know, but Li Jiancheng himself knows that although Shandong has 100,000 troops, but the 100,000 troops are not under Li Shentong's command, how can they resist Qin Qiong's attack!
"Second brother thinks Li Xin will attack Shandong?" Li Jiancheng still asked. In the face of major rights and wrongs, Li Jiancheng still stands at a certain height by himself. Put aside the grievances between himself and Li Shimin.
"You and my brother are all in Xindu, although Shandong has 100,000 troops, but it is not a chance for Yuanji, although the king of Huai'an is powerful, but if you want to command this 100,000 army, I am afraid it will take a long time to run in. In a short period of time, it is easy to mistransfer. Li Shimin also did not say that Li Shentong could not mobilize Li Yuanji's 100,000 army at all, but said that the two sides did not run in enough.
"And what do you have a good idea?" Li Yuan nodded, thought about it, and said suddenly.
"If you can, Erchen wants to go to Shandong in person." Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "If Li Xin attacks Shandong, his sons can resist for a while, and if Li Xin does not attack Shandong, it is the best, just enough to eat Zhang Zhenzhou's 40,000 troops." ”
"Second brother. If you want the 100,000 army, you can just say it, why underestimate Yuanji! Li Yuanji said disdainfully: "Father, the son is willing to go back to Shandong, if Li Xin doesn't come, forget it, if he comes, the son will definitely be able to defeat him." ”
"Shimin, if Li Xin really attacked Shandong, he would definitely attack from the direction of Taiyuan. At the very least, it can contain your Taiyuan soldiers and horses. You are not in Taiyuan, can the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan resist Li Jing? Li Jiancheng knew that Li Yuanji was definitely not Li Xin's opponent. And he didn't want Li Shimin to stay in Xindu any longer, there could only be one person in the capital to stay, and that was the crown prince.
"Well, yes, Li Xin is treacherous, since he has attacked Shandong. It will definitely guard against the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan, Shimin, has your Taiyuan been arranged? Is Hou Junji a little too young to resist Li Jing's army? Li Yuan also thought about this problem at this time, and was a little worried about Taiyuan.
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this. Soon understood what was going on, Li Yuan would certainly be worried about the affairs of Shandong and Taiyuan, but he was more worried about the issue of military power, and Li Yuan would never allow him to lead the soldiers and horses of Shandong.
"Taiyuan has naturally been arranged, Li Jing will at most try to attack, if the father is not at ease, the son will return to Taiyuan tomorrow." Li Shimin quickly reacted and said gratefully: "It's just a matter of Shandong, we still have to pay attention, Erchen thinks that it is better to take the king of Huai'an as the commander, Yuan Ji and Xu Shiji as the deputy marshals, and lead an army of 100,000 together to resist Li Xin's attack." ”
Li Shimin decided that it would be better to draw it out as soon as possible, but he still did not give up his decision, since he couldn't do it, then let the other clans divide the 100,000 army, not to mention that there was a Xu Shiji inside.
"This one does." Li Yuanji's eyes lit up when he heard this, Li Shimin was calculating himself and seizing his own 100,000 army, but Li Yuanji also thought about Xu Shiji's 50,000 army, Xu Shiji's 50,000 army was different from his own 100,000 army, his own 100,000 army was formed in a hurry, but Xu Shiji's army was completely different. He can also win Xu Shiji's military power in one fell swoop by virtue of the identity of King Qi and deputy marshal.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they looked at Li Yuanji with some surprise, they didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so good at talking, so they agreed in one breath.
"Okay, okay." Li Yuan didn't see Li Yuanji's thoughts, but nodded again and again, and said, "Hey, I originally wanted to leave you behind and accompany me more, but what I didn't expect was that Li Xin actually led the army to kill, and you two brothers were going to leave again." ”
"Father, the world is undecided, and the sons and ministers naturally fight for the Li family. When the world was peaceful, the three of us brothers gathered together at the knees of our father. Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng. His words were not only for Li Yuan, but also for Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, when the world is calm, Shimin and Yuanji will definitely come to accompany my father." ”
"Haha, that's a good dare." Li Yuan immediately laughed after hearing this, and his expression was extremely happy, but there was still a trace of loneliness in the depths of his eyes, compared to the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhao's military strength was still much smaller, and he was in a weak position. If he wants to defeat Li Xin, even Li Yuan doesn't know if he can do it in his limited life.
"Father, my son will go back to Taiyuan tomorrow." Li Shimin hurriedly said.
"Erchen will also return to Shandong tomorrow." Li Yuanji also nodded.
"Okay, good, it's rare that you put state affairs first, and my father is very happy. Prince, set up a banquet tonight, so that you can entertain the two brothers, they will be your right-hand men in the future, and you can't slack off. Li Yuan was very happy after hearing this, and said to Li Jiancheng: "Let's hold a family banquet tonight!" The adult princes and grandchildren of the family all came. ”
"Yes." Li Jiancheng naturally didn't want to make Li Yuan unhappy at this time, so he quickly nodded. Hurriedly instructed the chamberlain next to him not to mention it, although it was a family banquet, it was also a royal family banquet, and there could be no negligence, how many dishes were served, what kind of music was used, where the princes sit, etc., were all regulated.
Li Yuan nodded, he was still very satisfied with his eldest son, he might not be as good as Li Shimin in marching and fighting, but he was very good at governing the country, and he could rest and recuperate with peace of mind when he was sick, which was very good.
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were also very happy to hear it, no matter what, in front of Li Yuan, the three brothers still showed superficial friendliness, which also gave Li Yuan a certain illusion.
With Li Jiancheng's order, the entire palace of Xindu moved, although Li Yuan was already dying, but his combat effectiveness was still very powerful, in addition to Li Jiancheng's three brothers, there were more than a dozen sons, such as Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanchang and other sons, some of them have grown up, and some of them are still children. Even Concubine Yin and Concubine Zhang both gave birth to sons for Li Yuan, and the genes of the Li family are still very strong.
Li Yuan came with the support of Yin and Zhang, and the two concubines also came slowly in full costume, and even showed a smug look on their faces, in Li Yuan's harem, it is now Wan Guifei, but in the case of a family banquet, Wan Guifei can't be on the stage, Li Yuan asked Yin and Zhang to accompany him.
"Today is a family dinner, let's sit down!" Li Yuan was undoubtedly very happy, there were so many sons and grandsons present, surrounded by his knees, which made Li Yuan, an old man, still feel very happy.
"Emperor Xie (Imperial Grandfather)." Many princes and grandsons at the scene fell to the ground one after another.
"Get up, get up." Li Yuan waved his hand with a smile and sat down on his throne, Li Jiancheng clapped his hands, and saw the music in the hall, and instantly entered the family banquet procedure.
Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji did not sit together, Li Shimin sat alone, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji sat on the side, Li Shimin looked at the song and dance in front of him, listened to the beautiful music, in fact, there was no happy appearance in his heart, Li Xin's army was about to attack, and the goal that Li Shimin wanted to achieve in his letter was not achieved. This annoyed him.
Li Yuanji couldn't see anything on his ugly face, only his eyes wandered, looking at the dancing girls in the main hall, and there was a hint of lewdness in the depths of his eyes. He himself is a powerful ghost, he does all kinds of evil in Shandong, and he only relented when he came to Xindu at this time, but today Li Shimin's words made him have to leave Xindu and go to Shandong again, which made him very angry.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince and the two princes are both dragons and phoenixes, and the concubines want to congratulate Your Majesty." A coquettish voice came, Li Yuanji's heart beat when he heard it, and he looked over, but saw that it was Concubine Yin there, Concubine Yin's face was delicate and red because she drank a few glasses of wine, and her whole body revealed a trace of mature style, which made Li Yuanji's index finger move, and then looked at Concubine Zhang on the other side of Li Yuan, and her eyes stretched out to reveal a trace of heat.
When Concubine Zhang was thinking about how to be coquettish to Li Yuan, she suddenly felt a hot gaze shooting, and looked at it, but saw that Li Yuanji was staring at herself, her eyes didn't blink, her complexion suddenly changed, her mouth opened, and finally she thought of something, but she still didn't make a sound, but her body leaned towards Li Yuan.
