184. Bloody Xuanwu Gate (1)
"Uncle, what is your opinion?" Li Shimin clenched his fists and turned around, closed his eyes, and was silent for a long time before opening his eyes.
"Lord, Weichen is the uncle of Wuji and the princess, if the prince decides to start an incident and succeeds, I will become a member of the relatives, Wuji is now in the bureau, according to the system, it is inconvenient for me to say much at this time."
"But since the prince has summoned Wechen today, he has already said that he regards Wechen as a confidant from the bottom of his heart, for this reason, even if Wechen knows that there is a suspicion of overstepping the system at this time, he can't care so much."
"In this matter of whether to replace the crown prince, Weichen fully agrees with the views of the generals, Lord Fang, Lord Du and Wuji, today's Datang, there is no second person more suitable to inherit the throne than the prince, and today's Datang seems to be thriving, but in fact it is full of opportunities."
"Let's not talk about the rest for the time being, but when it comes to the Turks, the Eastern Turks have become the undisputed number one force in the steppe under the management of the two generations of Shibi and Jieli Khans over the years, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry under the account of Jieli Khan."
"If there is no prince, whether it is the current majesty or the crown prince, they will not be able to resist the Turkic soldiers, I am not alarmist, or deliberately currying favor with the prince and patting the prince's ass, but from the bottom of my heart."
"I don't need to say much about how much influence the prince has in the army, if there is no prince, it is impossible for these generals under your command to obey others, and there are only two endings for them, first, set up another mountain and rebel."
"Second, being completely eliminated by the prince's party, no matter which one it is, the damage to the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is unpredictable."
"Without Tiance Mansion, without these generals under the command of the prince, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turkic soldiers, in fact, I don't say these things, and the prince also knows that you are hesitant now, but it is just a family affection."
"But Lord Wang, you should know that throughout the ages, anyone who does great things needs to make a sacrifice, God is fair, he can't give all the benefits to a certain person." Gao Shilian said slowly.
"I know, thank you uncle for your teachings, thank you for your support and trust in this king, this king has decided to follow everyone's advice."
"However, since we are determined to replace the crown prince, this matter needs to be well planned, and we must consider every link to ensure that every link is not leaky." After Li Shimin listened, he was silent for a moment, the hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his mind finally became extremely firm.
"This is natural, but today is May 30, and His Majesty ordered us to leave Chang'an on June 6, and time ......is pressing," the military generals such as Changsun Shunde and Hou Junji were overjoyed when they heard this.
"This matter has its own Lord Fang, Lord Du and Lord Eldest Sun are worried about it, let us think that these things are purely causing chaos, Lord Wang, what to do, you just tell us." Before Hou Junji finished their words, they were interrupted by the grumpy Wei Chi Jingde.
When everyone in the Qin Palace's mansion saw that Li Shimin had finally made up his mind to replace the crown prince, everyone was overjoyed.
These people are all unruly people, and they have always been by the side of people like King Qin, and it is impossible for them to swallow their anger and be low and small for the rest of their lives.
Since the prince's party began to press step by step, they were looking forward to this day, but King Qin hesitated before and didn't make up his mind, everyone is not good at persecution, and now Li Shimin has a certain mind, all of them are high-spirited, grinding their fists.
"Master Fang, Mr. Du, Wuji, do you have any good suggestions for this?" Li Shimin saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, sighed slightly in his heart, and then spoke.
He actually understands the mood of everyone very well, they have been following him with his head on the belt of his trousers all these years.
No one wants to be treated as a lackey after so much blood, sweat and hard work, and in the end, the bamboo basket is empty, and they have to be used as a lackey to cook in a pot.
"Today is May 30th, and there are still five days before the generals leave Beijing, that is to say, if we want to do this, we must rush before June 6, and if we want to deal with the crown prince and the king of Qi, it will definitely not work to mobilize a large number of troops and horses."
"Your Majesty and the crown prince have been extremely vigilant against the Qin Palace's palace recently, and once we have the slightest movement, it will attract the attention of His Majesty's crown prince."
"Once our intentions are revealed in advance, this matter will no longer be a small-scale seizure of power, and will eventually turn into a large-scale mutiny, which is not in line with our original intention."
"For this reason, in Weichen's opinion, we should find a way to lure the crown prince and the king of Qi out, and do it when they are unguarded and at the same time there are no large numbers of guards around them." Fang Xuanling said.
"Yes, and it's best to be within the palace walls." As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, Du Ruhui's voice rang out.
"Okay, Fang Mou Du Xuan, since you all said so, this matter is decided, and the matter about introducing the prince and the king of Qi will be handed over to me, and the location will be tentatively set in Xuanwumen."
"Chang He, the guard of this Xuanwu Sect, has had a friendship with this king, wait for me to probe his tone first, and see if there is a chance to win him over." After Li Shimin listened, he groaned slightly, and then approved Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's suggestion.
"But I don't know how the prince is going to lead the prince and the king of Qi?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own charter, so it's decided first, and I'll go to the bottom of Chang He first, and then discuss with you the specific time and plan for action, it's not too early, everyone go back to rest." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Li Shimin said goodbye to everyone and returned to Jinsheng Garden, when the time had come.
The eldest grandson knew what her husband was doing, and after she coaxed her little girl to sleep, she sat quietly in the room and waited for her husband.
"Guanyin, you haven't slept yet?" When Li Shimin came in, he looked at the light in the bedroom like a bean, his wife sat quietly under the shadow of the swaying lamp, the hard atrium suddenly softened, he walked to his wife's side, stretched out his palm, and gently stroked her cheek.
"Well, I'm waiting for you, have you already made a decision?" The eldest grandson princess raised her eyes to look at Li Shimin.
"Yes, Guanyin, I will make up my mind, there is no possibility of turning back, if we can't succeed, our family will fall into a place of no return."
"Even if you succeed, you and I, husband and wife, will only live in guilt and accusations from the world and even the Spring and Autumn Period for the rest of our lives, can you blame me?" Li Shimin sat down next to his wife and said in a muffled voice.
"Erlang, I said earlier, you and I are husband and wife, whether it is glorious or Jiuyou Huangquan, since the moment I married you, I have decided to bear it with you, so why complain?" The eldest grandson stretched out her slender hand, gently covered her husband's palm, and said softly.
