The art of war is cloudy, more calculations and less calculations, although this is true, but it also depends on the situation, in the case of insufficient strength, no matter how much you calculate, it will not help! Li Zhen did not undercount this time, and made sufficient preparations for the situation, but as a result, although it was not a big defeat, but after all, he still lost, although the root of the problem did not lie with Li Zhen himself, but it was an indisputable fact that he was defeated, and it was still a matter of two things whether he could get it back.

As the saying goes, the meal must be eaten in one bite, and things must be done one by one, if you want to eat in one breath and become a fat man, the final result can only be to be strangled to death - the battle between the uncle and nephew of the Hu family and the proposal for the establishment of the future was originally planned, but it could not be proposed at one time, only to solve the Hu family's uncle and nephew first, cut off Li Tai's siblings in the palace, and then took the opportunity to help the "own family" to the throne, created enough public opinion, and then proposed the matter of the post, and shook a shot, pressuring Li Tai to collude with Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji, and then use a wonderful hand, Inducing Li Tai and Li Zhihuo to merge, taking the opportunity to launch secretly, not to mention completely overthrowing the eldest grandson Wuji, at least it can greatly weaken the prestige of the eldest grandson Wuji in the court, but now that he is tossed by Yao Peng, not only Hu Youde will not necessarily be overthrown, but it is also difficult to take advantage of the battle in the future, at least the original plan has now lost its feasibility, and this kind of loss is not disastrous, and Li Zhen is not angry.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that you can't find the root cause of failure, this Li Zhen knows very well in her heart, on the way back home, Li Zhenqiang suppressed the anger in her heart, and thought about the entire court situation repeatedly for a long time, which can be regarded as finding the root of the problem - strength! That's right, it is strength, especially the power of civil officials, although Li Zhen has a large number of young elites in the army such as Qin Huaiyu, Li Ge, Wang Kun, etc., and can also get the support of the older generation of generals such as Cheng Yanjin, but the civilian system in his hands has never been a climate, and those generals in the army let them succeed in the war, and it is no problem to wave the flag and shout, but when it comes to the battle in the court, the argument of biting the text and chewing the words is not what they are good at, which is also a helpless thing. How can you not achieve great things, this matter is still in a hurry, after this incident, Li Zhen can be sure of one - this battle in the East Palace, there is no share of his own, even if he reluctantly enters the East Palace, he will definitely not be able to hold it! After thinking about this, Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh, and her depression was alleviated, but she was still a little worried about the current situation.

Li Zhen is not worried about Li Zhi who has won the peach, but Li Tai, the reason is very simple, don't look at Li Zhi is very favored now, and it is very likely that he is the candidate of Li Shimin's East Palace, but even if Li Zhi really enters the East Palace, it is in vain, with his ability and power, there is no possibility of holding it at all, no matter whether Li Shimin will change the prince again in the future, Li Zhi will not be able to sit on the throne surrounded by strong brothers, unless the old man will destroy all the capable sons of the same son before he dies, And this is obviously unlikely, but if Li Tai takes advantage of the current dispute to win over the eldest grandson Wuji, the possibility of him entering the East Palace is extremely high, in this way, the problem is big, in terms of the forces of this guy in the court and the opposition, it is definitely Li Zhen's strong enemy, and it is not so easy to deal with, and now there is only one way in front of Li Zhen - to break the momentum created by Li Tai! It's a pity that this thing is easier said than done, Li Zhen sat in the sedan chair and thought all the way, but didn't come up with an accurate idea.

"Your Highness."

"Lord Wang."

Mo Li and Na Long, who were studying and judging the court situation in the study, saw Li Zhen walking in with an unhappy face, and hurriedly got up and greeted each other.

"Sit down." Li Zhen nodded, walked to the top and sat down, glanced at the two major strategists, sighed and said: "Two gentlemen, there was an accident in today's court meeting, and the matter is like this......" Li Zhen recounted in detail what happened in the early dynasty today, together with Li Shimin's reward of Wanhualou to Li Tai and the order that Li Zhi must come to each dynasty as it is, and shook his head with a wry smile at the end and said: "I'm afraid this situation is not easy to deal with now, if the two gentlemen have any good strategies, you might as well talk about it and listen to it." ”

As early as when Li Zhen went to the court, Mo Li and Na Long had already begun to deduce the development of the court situation, but they didn't expect things to change so dramatically, and when Li Zhen finished speaking, the two strategists couldn't help but feel like they were in a falling fog, and they fell into deep thought, after a long period of silence, Na Long coughed lightly and took the lead in speaking: "Your Highness, now this court situation is about to change, if it is not bad, the matter of establishing the prince has reached the realm of arrows, and the saint is afraid that he does not want to drag it out any longer." ”

"Oh? How? Li Zhen asked with a frown.

Na Long calmly analyzed: "Your Highness Mingjian, the Holy Admiral will reward His Royal Highness the Wanhualou to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, his intention is just to force His Royal Highness to make a move, and use His Royal Highness the King of Wei to contain the prince, but it is by no means to establish the King of Wei as the prince, otherwise it can be decided with an edict, so why bother so much?" As for letting His Royal Highness the King of Jin come to every dynasty, and even hand over the Wuju excerpt to the King of Jin for disposal, I am afraid that it is out of the plan of the eldest grandson Wuji, and its intention is no different from the previous intercession for the abolished prince, but it is just to establish the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but there is nothing to say, according to this layout, once the prince and the King of Wei are fighting, it is the time for the Holy Prince to be established, but His Majesty is afraid that there will be such a change in the early dynasty today. ”

Well, it's possible, the fourth guy has a huge power in the court, if he gets the financial resources, he can't tolerate Lao Tzu not moving, only Lao Tzu moves, and the contradiction will immediately intensify, so that the attention of the courtiers will only be diverted from the chaos of the inner court, if Lao Tzu joins hands with the third and fourth to fight, I am afraid that it will be the result of both defeats, and at that time, the old man will write an edict, everything will be solved, no one has anything to say, hehe, the old man's strategy to drive the tiger and the wolf is very chic, It's a pity that the fourth child didn't play the cards according to the old man's intentions, sacrificing a Yao Peng, and picking out the battle between the two first, this time it's the old man's turn to have a headache. Li Zhen connected the front and back in series, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason for the matter, nodded and said: "What Mr. Na said is very true, and now that the chaos has become a mess, the fourth child is bound to take advantage of the dispute after the establishment to contact the eldest grandson Wuji, how should this king deal with it?" ”

"Your Highness, why should you worry about it." Mo Li, who had always been silent, shook the feather fan in his hand lightly, and said with an indifferent smile: "His Royal Highness King Wei provoked the dispute between the Emperor and the Emperor at this time, and his intention was just to take the opportunity to contact the eldest grandson Situ, and then take advantage of the situation to propose the matter of establishing the prince, and coerce the coercion of hundreds of officials to comply. Moreover, how can the eldest grandson Wuji and his own person be able to win over the King of Wei, according to a certain point of view, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is just a vain effort, and it is expected that the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely be false and wronged, but in fact, he is completely on the side of the King of Jin, and as soon as the King of Wei launches, it is the time when the eldest grandson Situ defects! It's just that there is one person in the eldest grandson family who will be moved by King Wei, and this is a good opportunity for His Royal Highness to knock on the eldest grandson family, even if he can't overthrow the eldest grandson Wuji, it can greatly weaken his prestige. ”

"Oh? Who? As soon as Li Zhen heard Mo Li's words, he immediately came to his senses - as long as the eldest grandson Wuji did not fall to Li Tai, Li Zhen could breathe a sigh of relief, if he could take this opportunity to suppress the eldest grandson Wuji, it would naturally be a good thing, originally Li Zhen and Li Ke joined forces for this purpose, but unfortunately now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, the original plan has lost its effectiveness, and then it is easy to plan from scratch.

"Hehe, Your Highness is so forgetful, could it be that Your Highness forgot how he had a grudge with the eldest grandson's family?" Mo Li curled the corner of his mouth and showed a playful smile.

It's him? Ha, damn it, that stinky boy of the eldest grandson Chengliang! Hehe, it's a pleasure to be able to kill this bastard! Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then became happy, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Picking grass and beating rabbits, by the way, this king is very happy, since Mr. Mo said so, he must have a plan in his heart, so he will say it." ”

Mo Li smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness Mingjian, His Royal Highness the King of Wei wants to win over the eldest grandson Wuji, just the current situation is not enough, presumably it is necessary to further stir up disputes in the palace, further intensify the situation, and cause an unstoppable momentum, and the rear has the opportunity to share the same enemy with the eldest grandson Wuji, since His Royal Highness the King of Wei dares to take the lead in picking out the battle in the harem, there must be other ambushes, if it is not bad, now the palace is only afraid that it has been chaotic, with the operation of the eldest grandson Situ in the court, I am afraid that the chaos in the palace will not be hidden from his ears and eyes, In this way, the opportunity of His Royal Highness the King of Wei came, and the opportunity of the prince naturally followed. ”

"Huh?" Li Zhen understood all of Mo Li's words, but he didn't see the opportunity from them, frowned and thought about it, but he still didn't come up with a reason, so he had to ask: "Will Ji An come out?" ”

Mo Li smiled and didn't answer, but Na Long said: "Your Highness, the eldest grandson Wuji is the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chengliang returns to the eldest grandson Chengliang, the old fox will not take the bait easily, the little one hates the prince to the bone, what do you say, Your Highness?" ”

Li Zhen thought carefully for a while, and finally made up her mind, and said with a little reluctance: "Do you really want to move that chess piece?" Well, let's move first, and Mr. Na will take a lot of effort to deal with this matter, and we will discuss it here today, and this king will go out of the city for a trip. ”

Although Li Zhen didn't say what he was going to do out of the city, the two strategists knew it, glanced at each other, and laughed loudly, laughing so embarrassed that Li Zhen didn't dare to say more, he slipped out of the study, got on his horse, and led a group of guards to rush out of the palace gate, and rushed straight to the post station outside the city......

At the end of the three o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, the clouds in the sky gathered thicker and thicker, the wind rose, the wind was very strong, blowing dozens of flags planted on the south city gate, Rao is early summer, the wind is also a little chilly on the body, but the eldest grandson Chengliang who stood on the head of the city seemed to have no feeling, frowning lightly, a pair of eyes were always staring at the post station not far away, the sadness in the eyes was unbearable to witness, more than two months, since the eldest grandson Wuji agreed to let him out of the house, Every day, the eldest Sun Chengliang always stands in the same place at the same time, looking at the post station outside the city stupidly, what he is thinking, everyone knows, even those soldiers guarding the city gate can guess a rough idea, but no one dares to persuade him, so he can only stand at the head of the city into a landscape.

"The wind is rising, Sixth Son, go back." A handsome scholar in white who accompanied Changsun Chengliang sighed, turned his head sideways, glanced at Changsun Chengliang with pity, and said flatly.

"Hmm." The eldest grandson Chengliang replied noncommittally, but he didn't move, and looked at the direction of the post station stupidly. Suddenly, a team of cavalry roared out of the city gate hole, whistling towards the post station not far away, as soon as he saw the tall knight at the head, the eldest grandson Chengliang's face turned pale, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, his eyes showed a fierce light of hatred, and his whole body trembled like chaff - that tall knight was Li Zhen, the king of Yue!

"Sixth son, let's go." The handsome scholar standing next to the eldest grandson Chengliang obviously also discovered Li Zhen's appearance, seeing that the eldest grandson Chengliang was so excited, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the trembling shoulders of the eldest grandson Chengliang, sighed secretly, and said gently.

The eldest grandson Chengliang lowered his body, stubbornly not wanting to leave, but he couldn't resist the strength of the young man in white, and suddenly said a little anxiously: "Zi Zhan, I'm fine, I'm not leaving!" ”

Cui Ze, the word Zhan, Shandong Qinghe Cui family children, since childhood full of poetry and books, now eighteen, three years old literacy, five years old can write, ten years old and famous in Shandong, fifteen years into Beijing for the Chongwen Museum bachelor, travel very widely, one of the young heroes of Beijing, Su and the eldest grandson Cheng appeared good, every time the poems and songs are sung, each other is quite affectionate, since the eldest grandson Chengliang was frustrated because of marriage, he often accompanies him, for the explanation, today is also the same, at this time to see the eldest grandson Chengliang is not right, deeply afraid of the recurrence of his old disease, how can let the eldest grandson Chengliang stay more, hand a hard work, Qiang Zi turned the body of the eldest grandson Chengliang around, and said softly: "Sixth son, go back, Lord Situ has something to say first, if you go back late, I'm afraid that even the younger brother will have to eat and hang, and besides, at this time, the situation in Beijing is changing, not when you are willful, everything still depends on the future, what do you say, Sixth Prince?" ”

"Zi Zhan, I'm ......, hey!" As soon as he heard that Cui Ze had moved his own Lao Tzu out, the eldest grandson Chengliang was immediately deflated, and no longer said more, and walked down the city gate tower with Cui Ze's support, rode on a horse, led a group of domestic servants, and went straight to the Zhaoguo Mansion along the South Street.

The words are long and short, but a pillar of incense or so, the two have returned to the gate of the principality, but they saw a large sedan chair parked outside the gate of the mansion, and hundreds of soldiers, long attendants and other characters waiting by the sedan chair, looking at the flag, it turned out to be the king of Wei Li Tai's big car arrived, this situation suddenly made the eldest grandson Chengliang's eyes flashed a trace of suspicion - Wei King Li Tai said that he was the nephew of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the cousin of the eldest grandson Chengliang, but because of the difference in political views, and the fact that the eldest grandson Wuji never easily interacted with ministers and clans, There is basically no contact with each other, except for the New Year's Festival, Li Tai, the king of Wei, has never been at the gate of the eldest grandson's house, this is not the day of the New Year's Festival, but Li Tai, the king of Wei, suddenly appeared in the house, and then thought of the chaos of the court, the eldest grandson Chengliang suddenly realized, sat on the horse, groaned slightly, did not speak, immediately turned over and got off the horse, beckoned to Cui Ze, and hurried to the house, just walked into the second gate, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji with a flat face to accompany the Wei king Li Tai to come out, the eldest grandson Chengliang hesitated, Hurriedly greeted him.

"See His Royal Highness King Wei." The eldest grandson Chengliang hurriedly walked a few steps, stood on the side of the road, and bowed very respectfully.

"Yo, my cousin is back, this king also talked to his uncle about his cousin before, it's been a long time, and my cousin is now a talent." Li Tai, the king of Wei, seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw the eldest grandson Chengliang, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help the eldest grandson Chengliang, and greeted him with a smile.

"Your Highness has won a false award, are you leaving? The younger brother also wants to ask you for some poetry. The eldest grandson Chengliang showed a smile on his face and said very politely.

"Ahem, ahem." Before Li Tai could reply, the eldest grandson Wuji faked coughing twice and said, "Cheng Liang, don't retreat, Your Highness is busy with official business, how can you bother Your Highness with such trivial matters." ”

Li Tai naturally understood that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't want the eldest grandson Chengliang to be involved in right and wrong, but Li Tai didn't want to let go of any opportunity to tie the eldest grandson's family to his chariot, so he pretended to smile and said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, hehe, my cousin's good poetry and writing are all famous, this king is incomparable to being an elder brother, if my cousin doesn't dislike this king's vulgarity, you might as well go to my brother's house more when you have time, you and I are brothers, and the ages are almost the same, so we should be more affectionate and affectionate." ”

"Yes, the little brother should obey his orders." The eldest grandson Chengliang pretended not to see the hint in his Lao Tzu's eyes, and replied very respectfully.

"That's good, hehe, that's good......" Li Tai saw the eldest grandson Chengliang on the road like this, he was in a good mood, and he smiled extraordinarily brightly, just thinking about making an appointment, but he didn't think about the eldest grandson Wuji but immediately interjected: "Your Highness, don't you still have something to enter the palace to face the saint, I'm afraid it's not good to go late." ”

"Oh, yes, hehe, then it's okay to do this first, uncle, cousin, you don't have to send it far, this king will leave first." Li Tai saw that the eldest grandson Wuji interrupted his words again, and his heart suddenly became angry, but as soon as he remembered that this fashion could not be separated from the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't say anything more, he smiled, arched his hand to the eldest grandson and his son, turned around in a dashing manner, and led several personal guards out of the gate of the Guogong Mansion......
