Chapter 688: Brother Confrontation

When the news of Yuan Junzhang's repentance reached Chang'an, Li Yuan was furious and ordered Liu Shirang to attack Yuan Junzhang.

Because of his success in persuading Yuan Junzhang to surrender, Zhao Deyan was once again praised by Jieli Khan, and his status in the Turkic court was also improved.

After Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, they first explained to Li Yuan in detail the situation in Youzhou and Bingzhou, and then they had time to deal with their own affairs.

Coming out of the Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin inadvertently met their eyes, and the invisible firelight exploded in an instant, attacking each other.

The corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth hooked slightly, and then showed a regretful expression: "I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in the DPRK and China after only going out to fight for a few months."

"It is surprising that Liu Wenjing, as the founder of the country, did not want to serve the country and colluded with traitors to rebel.

"In this way, Liu Wenjing is innocent."

Although Li Jiancheng tried his best to show an expression of disappointment and regret, Li Shimin still saw schadenfreude and provocation in his eyes.

Liu Wenjing's death must have been planned by him.

Even if Pei Lin did it, it was also instructed by him.

Li Shimin was resentful in his heart, but his face was silent, and he lowered his voice: "Liu Wenjing is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, I don't believe he will rebel."

"Don't worry, the prince, I will definitely find evidence to rehabilitate him."

"Rehabilitate Liu Wenjing?" Li Jiancheng looked surprised and raised his voice: "Liu Wenjing's case of rebellion was tried by the three divisions, and finally ruled by His Majesty, and the evidence is conclusive.

"If you want to rehabilitate Liu Wenjing, are you questioning your father's decision? Or do you think that your father is mediocre and wronged Liu Wenjing? ”

Li Shimin: "......"

He looked around, except for the personal guards of the two people, the inner servants of the Taiji Palace were still far away.

Although Li Jiancheng spoke a little loudly, what he said just now was very quiet, and the attendants of Taiji Palace should not have heard what he said.

He was too angry just now, but he forgot that this was in the palace, and it seemed that he would have to be extra careful in the future.

Li Shimin reacted quickly: "How could I question my father? Didn't the eldest brother mishear?

"As the eldest brother said, the evidence in Liu Wenjing's rebellion case is conclusive, and his father has not destroyed his three clans."

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly: "It seems that I really misheard." ”

"The eldest brother helps my father with state affairs every day, and this time he is fighting abroad, and it is normal for him to have auditory hallucinations when he is tired."

Li Shimin pretended to be concerned: "The eldest brother is old and his body is easily tired, so it is better to share the matter with the brothers and let the brothers share your worries."

"That way, you'll be able to recuperate in peace."

Actually mocked him for not being in good health?

Li Jiancheng snorted: "My body is very good, don't worry about King Qin, you better take care of yourself, after all, you have been fighting for many years, and you have more old injuries on your body than me." ”

"Thank you, eldest brother, I will do what you wish." Li Shimin is a pun.

Li Jiancheng: "......"

The two looked at each other, the dark tide was surging, and then they tacitly looked away and left.

After Li Shimin returned to the Qin Palace, he summoned the eldest grandson Wuji: "Jiang Xiu's family hasn't been found yet?" ”

"Not yet." The eldest grandson Wuji was ashamed: "The king, the minister failed to save Liu Wenjing, because the minister was ineffective, and asked the king to surrender." ”

As he spoke, he bent his knees and fell to his knees.

"Hurry up, it's not your fault." Li Shimin stepped forward to help him up: "The other party has already premeditated, and it is impossible for you to find evidence."

"That's the end of the matter, don't investigate it again."

Don't check it out?

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were stunned: "Liu Wenjing is clearly wronged, why don't you investigate?" ”

"Liu Wenjing is dead, what about finding evidence? What's more, even if we find evidence, we won't be able to overturn the case. Li Shimin said.

The eldest grandson Wuji soon understood that Liu Wenjing's case was decided by His Majesty's Chrysostom Yuyan, and it was impossible for His Majesty to overturn his decision, which would damage Long Wei.

So no matter how hard they try, as long as His Majesty reigns for one day, it is impossible for them to overturn the case for Liu Wenjing.

After being silent for a while, Li Shimin said again: "However, we can take this opportunity to bring those old ministers over." ”

......

After Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, he summoned all his confidants and subordinates and said to them: "Liu Wenjing is dead, and the power of the King of Qin in the court has been cut in half. ”

Subsequently, Li Jiancheng assigned them a task, that is, to let them win over the Qin Wang Party that they were assigned to.

Xu Shimo was a little worried, and said, "Your Highness, if you do this, it will inevitably arouse the anger of King Qin.

"At that time, King Qin is afraid that he will do something to you, after all, his prestige in the army is extremely high, once the fight starts, the East Palace will definitely not be able to defeat King Qin's army."

After listening to Xu Shimo's words, everyone echoed and expressed the same concern.

Li Jiancheng was not worried, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if King Qin's prestige in the army is extremely high, the military power is not all in his hands.

"In addition to the military power in the hands of Your Majesty, me, and King Qin, there is also the military power in the hands of King Qi and Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong.

"The King of Qi has formed an alliance with me, and Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong have made it clear that they will only be loyal to Your Majesty, so the King of Qin has fewer troops than me, and if he wants to start a rebellion, I can also suppress him.

"What's more, with His Majesty in charge, he can't afford to make waves."

After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, several subordinates were not at ease.

Wang Qi said: "In addition to these people, there are also Princess Pingyang, Huo Guogong, Li Jing, Li Shiyun, Li Zihe and others who also hold part of the military power.

"Although the number is small, if they are united, they are also a powerful army, and if they are co-opted by the King of Qin, the East Palace is still very dangerous."

"That's right." Xu Shimo followed Wang Jue's words and said: "Especially Princess Pingyang, the army in her hands is not weaker than the army in your hands, and Your Majesty is very fond of Princess Pingyang, and she has a great influence on Your Majesty."

"Moreover, Huo Guogong and Princess Pingyang are husband and wife, and they are mostly obedient to Princess Pingyang on weekdays, if King Qin wins over Princess Pingyang, it is equivalent to having two armies of Princess Pingyang and his wife.

"At that time, it will be even more difficult for Donggong to fight against it."

In order to attract Li Jiancheng's attention, Xu Shimo reminded him: "Your Highness, don't forget that Princess Pingyang loves Princess Jinyang more than other princesses."

"And Princess Jinyang and Princess Qin have always had a close relationship, and Princess Pingyang and Princess Qin have a very good relationship, so she will inevitably not be biased towards King Qin."

After listening to their analysis, the expressions of the others instantly became solemn.

That being said, they can't afford to take it lightly at this time.

But Li Jiancheng still does not have a sense of crisis, in the past, Wang Yu took refuge in him, only he and a few people knew, and when it came to this today, he simply picked it out.

"You probably don't know that Princess Jinyang has already taken refuge in me, and she is a chess piece that I put next to King Qin."

Hearing this, except for a few people such as Su Dingfang, everyone else was shocked.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness had already bought Princess Jinyang, which was a good move.

After all, Princess Jinyang can set up her own shogunate and have a thousand-person escort team, which can be regarded as having an army.

What's more, Princess Jinyang is deeply favored by His Majesty and is on a par with Princess Pingyang......
