A day later, Feng Deyi asked to see Li Yuan alone and presented a recital.

After reporting the assessment to Li Yuan, Feng Deyi submitted another list: "Your Majesty, this is a list of officials to be transferred according to the assessment, please take a look." ”

After submitting the list, Feng Deyi peeked at Li Yuan's face from time to time, he was very worried, and he was afraid that Li Yuan would find something.

But after Li Yuan read it, he just made a few changes on it, and then handed him the list: "Okay, you can step down." ”

"Yes, the minister retired."

It wasn't until he left the palace and got into the carriage that Feng Deyi dared to open the list.

Seeing the changes made by Li Yuan, Feng Deyi couldn't help but let out a long breath.

After a few more days, the list of vacancies and official transfers was revealed, and some people were happy and some were worried.

Among them, three people from the Qin Wangfu were released, namely Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.

Cheng Zhijie followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and made countless meritorious contributions, which was appreciated by both Li Shimin and Li Yuan, and can be called Li Shimin's right-hand man.

And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui followed Li Shimin all the year round to go out on the expedition, served as a military officer, and were Li Shimin's confidants and think tanks.

After knowing that these three people were released, Li Jiancheng was very satisfied, and sent someone to secretly send a lot of things to Feng Deyi as a reward.

But after Li Shimin found out, he summoned Feng Deyi as soon as possible, and first reprimanded him fiercely, and then held him accountable: "Tell me, why do you want to do this?" ”

Feng Deyi knelt on the ground, and the chill spread from his knees to all parts of his body, making him tremble all over.

He replied with a strong sense of composure, "The king is angry, and that is not what I meant.

"I didn't suggest to Your Majesty that Fang join the army and let them out, it was Your Majesty's own decision, I tried to persuade Your Majesty at that time, but Your Majesty didn't listen, and the minister couldn't do anything."

After listening to his explanation, Li Shimin did not lose his anger, and still kept a straight face: "In this case, why don't you report to me in time?" ”

If the appointment didn't come down, he could still find a way to get his father to change his mind. Now that the appointment has been made, there is nothing he can do.

Feng Deyi explained again: "A few days ago, General Hou and the people in the East Palace clashed, although Your Majesty has punished General Hou and them, but Your Majesty is still very angry.

"If I tell the king first, and the king will intercede, I am afraid that it will anger Your Majesty, so I will think of persuading Your Majesty first.

"Originally, when I persuaded Your Majesty yesterday, Your Majesty has relented, but after today's appointment, Your Majesty still hasn't changed his mind, I think it must be the crown prince who knew about this matter and slandered His Majesty, so it led to today's situation."

Li Shimin was silent.

After a long time, he spoke: "Next time, no matter what happens, you must report me in time." ”

"Yes, my lord."

"Stand down."

Feng Deyi withdrew from the hall and quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was so dangerous, he finally passed the test.

After Feng Deyi left, Li Shimin summoned Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui and said to them: "Your Majesty listened to the prince's slander and transferred you out of Chang'an, but you don't have to worry, I will find a way to transfer you back." ”

The three of them thanked each other: "Thank you, the king." ”

Then, Fang Xuanling said: "King, the prince has plotted against you one after another, which shows that he has felt a great threat and can't wait to eradicate you."

"We will leave Chang'an to take office after the year, we will not be by your side at that time, you must not be impulsive, and discuss with others in case of trouble."

Li Shimin agreed with a smile.

After the three of them left, the eldest grandson Wuji came to see Li Shimin: "King, it seems that the prince can't hold his breath anymore, and he actually asked His Majesty to transfer Cheng Zhijie and them out of Chang'an."

"This is so hateful, King, what are we going to do?"

Li Shimin sneered: "The prince wants to transfer my advisers and fierce generals out of Chang'an, and then deal with me, hmph, it's really wishful thinking."

"The fierce generals of my Qin Wangfu are like clouds, there are countless ministers, Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui have left, and there are many capable generals and think tanks in the Qin Palace.

"Don't worry, the Qin Palace's Mansion will never fall."

......

East Palace.

"Haha......"

There was a burst of smug laughter in the hall, which caused the palace people outside the hall to look in frequently.

It's been a long time since they've heard the prince laugh so happily, and it seems that the prince has met with something happy recently.

After a while, the laughter in the hall stopped abruptly, but the smile on Li Jiancheng's face did not disappear, and he said to Li Yuanji with a smile: "Today is really a good day, let's have a good drink later." ”

"Okay." Li Yuanji readily agreed.

At this time, Zhao Hongzhi said: "Your Highness, although Your Majesty is now determined to eradicate King Qin, maybe he will change his mind after a while.

"And King Qin is so smart, after this incident, he must have sensed His Majesty's mind now.

"Now that he knows His Majesty's thoughts, King Qin will never sit still, he will definitely find a way to make His Majesty dispel his thoughts and attack the East Palace.

"The minister thinks that he should kill the King of Qin before His Majesty changes his mind, so that His Majesty will not thoroughly investigate the cause of King Qin's death.

"In case Your Majesty knew that you did this, but Your Majesty originally wanted to kill King Qin, he would not punish you when he found out."

Li Yuanji stroked his palm and said, "Master Zhao's words are reasonable. ”

Subsequently, Li Yuanji also persuaded Li Jiancheng: "Eldest brother, Master Zhao is right, we should take advantage of our father's murderous intentions towards Li Shimin, so that we will not cause disaster." ”

Wei Zheng and others also joined the queue of persuasion.

But after Li Jiancheng heard this, he did not change his mind: "I still stick to my original decision and set up an ambush to kill Li Shimin after the year."

"There are two days left to celebrate the New Year's banquet, if the news of King Qin's death breaks out at this time, my father will definitely be furious, although he decided to kill Li Shimin, but he definitely doesn't want to make the festive day become unlucky.

"Let's wait a few more days, and after the New Year's banquet, we'll do it again."

Li Yuanji thought about it, and his father really cared about this, so he stopped persuading.

Wei Zheng and the others did not persuade again.

But there was one man who was always uneasy in his heart.

After everyone left, Zhao Hongzhi returned to the palace and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, although Your Majesty is taboo about those, but what if Your Majesty changes his mind and doesn't want to eradicate King Qin in the past few days?" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled: "Master Zhao don't worry, since I have scheduled the action after the year, I am fully prepared."

"Fathers will never change their minds until they act."

Looking at Li Jiancheng, who was full of confidence, Zhao Hongzhi's heart settled down.

Your Highness had a way to deal with it.

However, Zhao Hongzhi still couldn't hold back, and asked curiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what are your plans?" ”

The smile on Li Jiancheng's face deepened: "You'll know when the time comes......"
