Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Jiancheng was shocked: "You mean to let me kill King Qin?" ”

"That's right." Wei Zheng did not hesitate at all, and said categorically: "The prestige of King Qin in the army is unparalleled, and his subordinates dare to assert that even Your Majesty, I am afraid that it is not as good as King Qin."

"What's more, in the hearts of the people, King Qin is the god of war who saved them from fire and water, and he is their hero, and King Qin has a people's heart far beyond you.

Moreover, it can be seen from the dismissal of the predecessor Jing Zhaoyin that even if Liu Wenjing is dead, King Qin's power in the court should not be underestimated.

"If the King of Qin keeps to himself and assists you wholeheartedly, then he is the pillar of the country, and you can use it.

"But King Qin obviously has ill intentions and covets your position, if you don't kill him now, he will definitely replace His Highness in the future."

Wei Zheng said it very bluntly, and his position was obvious.

Wei Ting, Shan Xiongxin and other military generals all agreed to Wei Zheng's proposal, but the Wenchen led by Wang Qi and Zhao Hongzhi all expressed their opposition.

"No, killing King Qin is too dangerous to do."

"That's right, King Qin has many fierce generals around him, how easy is it to kill him? If you miss, won't it affect Your Highness? You can't do that. ”

"Yes, you can't do it, you can't do it......"

Wei Zheng retorted: "It is very difficult to encroach on the power of the King of Qin step by step, and Du Ruhui and Wei Chi Jingde are the best examples.

"If killing one person can prevent future troubles forever, why not try?

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Those who achieve great things should be fearless, move forward bravely, and what can be achieved by cowering? ”

"You ......" Zhao Hongzhi was choked speechless.

But Wang Qi said calmly: "After the incident between Du Ruhui and Wei Chi Jingde, Your Majesty has warned His Royal Highness and King Qi that using force against King Qin at this time is tantamount to asking for his own death. ”

"As long as King Qin is dead, even if His Majesty knows that His Highness did it, he will not punish His Highness." Wei Zheng said.

"And what if it fails?" Wang Jue asked unceremoniously.

Wei Zheng paused for a moment, and then said: "As long as we plan carefully and act cautiously, it is impossible for us to fail." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Jue couldn't help but sneer: "How can there be anything foolproof in this world?" ”

"How could it not be? Once upon a time......"

Seeing that the two were arguing endlessly, Li Jiancheng stopped them: "Shut up for me." ”

The two immediately shut their mouths.

Li Jiancheng glanced at everyone and said majestically: "King Qin has bad intentions, I will not let him succeed."

"But he is my own brother after all, and besides, he has not done anything rebellious at present, and if I kill him now, I will be punished for injustice, and my father and the people will condemn me.

Moreover, once the matter is revealed, the people will not support a person who has a personal virtue.

"Therefore, the matter of killing the King of Qin is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future."

Wei Zheng still wanted to persuade again: "But ......"

"Nothing." Li Jiancheng interrupted him sharply: "Next, your task is to find a way to eradicate the power of King Qin.

"When his prestige is discredited and there is no one around, I will see what he will use to fight with me."

......

The time entered the winter, and good news came from the Jianghuai region.

When the Song army confronted the Tang army, Du Fuwei's righteous son Kan Ling leaped out of the Tang army's camp and shouted at the Song army: "Don't you know me?" Are you going to do it to me? ”

When the soldiers of the Song army saw Kan Ling's face, their hearts were immediately confused, and they did not dare to step forward.

Seeing this, Zuo Youxian immediately reassured them loudly: "Soldiers, King Wu was tortured in Chang'an, and Kan Ling, as the righteous son of King Wu, betrayed the trust of King Wu and was in cahoots with the people of the Tang Kingdom.

"Let's kill him and clean up the traitors for King Wu."

The officers and soldiers of the Song army were not instigated by him, but fell into hesitation, General Kan Ling was in charge of military discipline, strict military law, fair rewards and punishments, and was the general they admired the most.

It is said that General Kan Ling betrayed King Wu, but they do not believe it.

When Kan Ling heard Zuo Youxian's words, he immediately figured out how Fu Gongqi seized military power from Wang Xiongdan.

So, he shouted: "Don't believe him, he is talking nonsense."

"The father-in-law was not abused at all in Chang'an, on the contrary, as soon as the father-in-law entered Chang'an, he was treated with courtesy and respect by the Tang Emperor......"

"You're." Zuo Youxian interrupted Kan Ling's words: "Brothers, Kan Ling has betrayed King Wu, and his words are not credible.

"King Wu is in danger, so he ordered us to raise troops, attack Chang'an, and rescue him from the sea of fire."

Hearing this, Kan Ling scolded: "What bullshit order? The father-in-law never gave the order to raise troops, and he had already sincerely attached himself to the Tang State, and the Tang State was the leader.

"Brothers, it was the traitor of Fu Gongqi who wanted to establish himself as the emperor, so in the name of his father-in-law, you were deceived.

"This time, it was my father-in-law who sent me to expose their conspiracy, and I also brought my father-in-law's handwritten letter, and he asked you to lay down your arms, surrender to the Tang Kingdom, and be loyal to the Tang Kingdom with him."

As he spoke, Kan Ling drove the horse closer to them, then took out a letter and held it high to show them.

Zuo Youxian wanted to send someone to stop Kan Ling, but he didn't expect the soldiers in the front row to take the initiative to walk towards Kan Ling.

"It's really King Wu's handwritten letter, I'll take a look."

The general, who stopped in the open space in the middle, craned his neck and read aloud as he watched.

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Song Army looked at Zuo Youxian with angry eyes: "Zuo Shangshu, it turns out that you are traitors." ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zuo Youxian shouted loudly: "Jianghuai soldiers, you are heroes, not slaves of others, and you don't need to serve other countries.

"The land under your feet is your home, how can you give it to others?

"Soldiers, take up your weapons and kill the intruders without a single piece of armor."

When the words fell, his supporters immediately responded, raising their weapons and rushing towards Kan Ling: "Kill the invaders and protect our homeland." ”

The shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and for a moment, the Song army fell into chaos.

They were divided into two factions, one followed Zuo Youxian to attack Kan Ling and attack the Tang army; One faction laid down its arms and surrendered to the Don army.

Li Jing, who was observing the situation in the rear, saw this scene and immediately issued a military order: "Attack." ”

The Tang army rushed into the enemy formation, each as brave as a tiger, and killed the enemy when they saw it.

Due to the appearance of Kan Ling disturbing the morale of the Song army, Zuo Youxian was defeated and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

Li Jing led his troops to pursue the victory, wiped out thousands of Song troops, and then collected his troops.

Hearing that Zuo Youxian was defeated, Fu Gongqi personally led his troops to meet the Tang army, but he fought several defeats in succession.

Jianghuai's good news was transmitted back to Chang'an, and Li Yuan was very happy.

Li Shimin took the opportunity to say: "Father, the rebellion against the rebels in front of the Kanling Formation is indispensable, which shows that King Wu did not know about the rebellion of Fugong Yi.

"King Wu did not participate in the rebellion, let alone rebel, he was wronged, and asked his father to lift the ban on King Wu's mansion."

Li Jiancheng also thinks that Du Fuwei is wronged, but if Li Shimin says this, he must go against the grain.

"Father, the rebels have not all been wiped out, and Fu Gongqi has not been caught, so it is too early to tell. It is better to wait for King Zhao to recover the Jianghuai region and then discuss. ”

Li Yuan only hesitated for a moment, and then adopted Li Jiancheng's proposal: "The prince is right, it is too early to make a conclusion, wait for the king of Zhao Jun to recover the Jianghuai region, and then dispose of the king of Wu." ”
