Chapter 767: Perfecting the Plan

Seeing Wang Yu suddenly drinking tea leisurely, Li Shimin was stunned, and his anger gradually dissipated.

He began to think about what Wang Yu had just said.

After waiting for a while, Wang Yu saw that the time had come, so he said slowly: "Since ancient times, kings have a principle in choosing their heirs, that is, etiquette first.

"And the rule of etiquette first is to establish a son with a long rather than virtuous, and a son to be noble rather than long.

"My father has always obeyed the rules of etiquette, and as long as the prince lives, as long as the prince does not commit unforgivable sins, it is impossible for my father to depose him.

"Even if the conflict between you and the crown prince intensifies, every time you have a conflict, your father will be on the side of the prince.

"I analyzed with you last time, due to the stability of the court, it is impossible for my father to depose the crown prince.

"Although on the surface your power threatens the status of the crown prince, in fact, the prince's position is very stable, so it is impossible for the prince to rebel."

Li Shimin said unwillingly: "Even if the crown prince's position is stable now, my father has many sons besides me, and they will also threaten the prince's position."

"Don't talk about it, let's talk about King Qi, he is an adult, and he has been in charge of the military for many years, and he is no longer the hairy boy who lost Jinyang back then, and he will also breed ambitions to win the heir.

"There are other princes, although they are young, but their foreign power is also not to be underestimated. When there is a prince in the family, they will think about supporting the prince to ascend to the throne in order to seek greater power.

"With so many princes, even if the crown prince is in a stable position now, he may not be able to inherit the throne smoothly in the future.

"Therefore, for the purpose of preparing for a rainy day, it is very reasonable for the prince to raise troops to seize the throne now."

"Wrong, still wrong." Wang Yu corrected his thoughts: "If the crown prince wants to eliminate all the factors that are unfavorable to him, then the first thing he will deal with is you, followed by other princes such as King Qi, not his father."

"The crown prince and Yang Wengan rebelled, usurping the throne and dealing with their father, but their father will not be unfavorable to the prince.

"On the contrary, my father has always been the prince's strongest backer, and if the prince is not a fool, he will never attack his father."

Li Shimin objected again: "But against me alone, the crown prince is already very difficult, not to mention the king of Qi and other princes."

"Since it's so troublesome, why don't you quickly cut through the chaos and attack the throne directly?"

Wang Yu was stunned, and the next moment, she followed Li Shimin's train of thought and said: "Okay, even so, if the prince wants to do it in one step, then he shouldn't let Yang Wengan raise troops outside the Beijing Division."

"He should assist the crown prince, launch a mutiny in Chang'an, and directly take the capital. Then control the father and eliminate you, so that you can achieve the goal. ”

Li Shimin still didn't give up, trying to find out the point she couldn't refute: "Can't Yang Wengan lead the army all the way to Chang'an, help the prince take Chang'an directly, and then deal with my father and me?"

"Don't forget, Yang Wengan has military power in his hands, and the prince also has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, not to mention those generals who support the prince, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses in their hands."

However, after Li Shimin finished speaking, his heart was shaken.

Sure enough, Wang Yu refuted his words again: "My father has not yet reached the point of old age and mediocrity, and now the power of the Tang Dynasty is still firmly in my father's hands."

"And you are a meritorious Tiance general, and your power and influence in the army are unparalleled.

"Once Yang Wengan launched a rebellion, his father would order troops from all over the country to go to quell the rebellion, and he was not capable of fighting Chang'an at all.

"Even if he has the ability to fight Chang'an and help the prince capture the capital, it will only take a lonely city.

"Because your father and you have the power and military power, and the Tang Dynasty is still firmly in your hands, you can order the world's troops to go to Chang'an to quell the rebellion.

"At that time, without his father's support, the prince will be spurned by the people of the world, and his destruction will only be in an instant."

In the end, Wang Yu said meaningfully to Li Shimin: "Even if the prince's ability is not as good as you, the prince is not a fool, and he will never do such a stupid thing."

"The prince has been taught by his father since he was a child, and his father knows exactly what kind of person he is.

As long as the father calms down, he can realize that the prince will never do such a stupid thing, and there must be someone behind it.

"And with the ability to control such a big game of chess, there will be no one in the entire Tang Dynasty except you, King Qin."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was silent.

He clenched his fists and carefully combed through the plan again.

Then compared what Wang Yu said one by one, and suddenly found that as Wang Yu said, the prince's rebellion was full of loopholes.

His face turned pale in an instant, and a trace of remorse and self-blame flashed in his eyes.

It seems that he is still in too much of a hurry.

Thinking of this, he humbly asked Wang Yu for advice: "Now, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan have accused the prince of rebellion, and I don't know if my father has sent someone to Gyeongju.

"How will this situation end?"

Wang Yu thought for a while: "First of all, you give the order to go down, cancel all the plans behind, and stay put."

"Secondly, find a way to let Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan overturn what they said before, it is a fact that the prince smuggled armor, but he did not rebel."

After Li Shimin heard this, he was still very unwilling: "Isn't there any way to make this plan more perfect?" ”

Wang Yu glanced at him lightly, picked up the teacup, and moistened his dry throat: "I am only a shallow learner, so I can only come up with this way to maintain my father's trust in you first." ”

Li Shimin: "......"

He struggled for a moment, then shouted outward, "Someone." ”

Qin Shubao and Duan Zhixuan immediately walked in: "What does the king command?" ”

"Go and call Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhang Gongjin."

"Yes."

Soon, Fang Xuanling and the three came.

"You two go and keep guard at the door, don't let anyone come close." Li Shimin instructed Qin Shubao and Duan Zhixuan.

"Yes, my lord."

Then, Li Shimin told Fang Xuanling and the others one by one the problems that Wang Yu had just analyzed with him: "...... Now that I think about it, Xiao Yu'er is right, this plan is very inappropriate. ”

Zhang Gongjin looked at Wang Yu in shock: "Princess Jinyang is really powerful, Zhang finally knows why His Majesty will agree to you to be an official."

"It's a pity that such a talent is not an official."

"Zhang Gong praised it, Wang Mou didn't dare to be ashamed." Wang Yu's attitude is very modest.

Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had already seen Wang Yu's talent, after listening to Li Shimin's words at this moment, they couldn't help but admire Wang Yu.

"Okay, I called you here to make you want to solve it, hurry up." Li Shimin urged them impatiently.

The three of them looked stunned and immediately thought about it.

After a while, Fang Xuanling said: "If we follow the original plan, incite Yang Wengan to rebel, and at the same time find a way to arrange a scene where the prince sends someone to poison His Majesty and is caught red-handed."

"Then Your Majesty will believe that the crown prince is indeed treasonous, and has done great rebellious things.

"At that time, even if Your Majesty will not execute the crown prince, he will be deposed as the prince."

Before he finished speaking, someone refuted his idea: "This plan must not be ......."
