172. The Change of Renzhi Palace (II)
"Okay, good, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!"
"Chen Shan, you go and summon Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan over, I see if this rebel has anything to say." Gao Zu became more and more angry when he heard this, and immediately ordered the guards to go to Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan.
Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan came to the front of Gaozu's royal car, and when they saw the prince who was crying on the ground, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, there was no way to the dark, and this really went to Gyeongju......
In the blink of an eye, these two people had already walked up to Gaozu to salute, and Tang Gaozu pointed to the crying prince who was on the ground and said: "You two, tell me the details of the matter and say it again in front of the prince." ”
Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan held back their minds and told the story again, Li Jiancheng was covered in a cold sweat when he heard it, fortunately, Wei Zheng had already helped him make a deduction and analysis of this situation before he came, and he was quite stable.
"Father, the son is wronged, if the son really colludes with Yang Wengan to rebel, it is impossible to send such two people who have little weight and can't bear things as messengers, please ask my father to learn from it." Li Jiancheng kept kowtowing and shouting grievances.
"Okay, very good, you are indeed very good at arguing, come here, take the prince with you, take care of it strictly, and wait for me to deal with Yang Wengan, and then I will deal with you." Tang Gaozu was trembling with anger, he didn't want to listen to Li Jiancheng's nonsense anymore, and directly let people take him down and detain him.
After Li Jiancheng was taken away, he summoned the King of Qin and his ministers: "Shimin, you Aiqing, Yang Wengan raised an army to rebel and tried to force Gong Yuhua Mountain, what is your strategy." "As for Yuanji, Gaozu probably knew that his relationship with the crown prince was not ordinary, so he did not summon him.
Li Yuan still has a bit of father-son affection for the prince, and he did not say anything about the collusion between the prince and Yang Wengan in public, but even if he didn't say it, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.
That Yang Wengan is the prince's hardcore team, after Yang Wengan raised troops, Gaozu immediately rushed to the prince to enter Yuhua Mountain, the matter is obvious, but Gaozu doesn't say it, naturally no one else is stupid to provoke.
"Father, the sons think that Yang Wengan is just an incompetent Xiao Xiao, and the local officers and soldiers can be captured, even if they can't hold him, send another general out, and naturally they can be captured." After Gao Zu's words fell, Li Shimin said.
He actually had a little regret in his heart, since he guessed that there was a change in the capital, he was behind the secret cloth, and when Yang Wen rebelled, he had almost concluded that this was a mutiny planned by the prince, but it was revealed before it started.
He also thought that after the matter was revealed, the prince would take the risk and directly raise troops, and if that was the case, he would no longer have to be as restrained as he is now.
In the past, he took into account his brotherly affection and did not think about replacing the prince, but since he broke with the prince completely last year, his heart has gradually changed, and he thinks that he is not a person who does not recognize his relatives and does not compromise his means for the sake of power.
But he is by no means a foolish and filial, at the mercy of others, if his father and brother are willing to treat him well, he is willing to repay with the same sincerity, if the other party is only because of his great merit, jealous of him, he wants to eradicate him, he will never sit idly by.
"The ministers also think that King Qin's words are not unreasonable, this Yang Wen can't make the climate." After Li Shimin's words fell, the ministers also echoed.
"Go down first, Shimin, and stay for a while." Gaozu glanced at the ministers with a complicated face, waved them back, but let Li Shimin stay.
"Shimin, I won't hide it from you, Yang Wengan is not his only idea, this matter also involves the prince, you also know that the prince's reputation among the government and the opposition is good, and the matter involves him, and there are many people who respond."
"Therefore, to calm down what Yang Wen did, you have to go there, so that you can rest assured for your father." After the courtiers left, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin in a deep tone.
"Erchen knows." After Li Shimin listened, he was silent for a moment, did not ask any more questions, and then thanked him and left.
He came out of Gaozu's palace, went to his own courtyard, told his wife about it, and after finishing speaking, he told him: "Guanyin, after I go on the expedition, my father is expected to return to Beijing in a few days, and the power of the prince and the fourth brother will not stop here, you should be careful." ”
"I know, Erlang, I'll be careful, and you should be careful." After hearing this, the eldest grandson was worried, but she couldn't say anything, but she could nod her head slightly.
After Li Shimin left, the eldest grandson and princess walked alone under the laurel tree in the courtyard, looked at the sky above her head in a daze through the occasional leaves caused by the wrong road, and said silently in her heart: Sister Pingyang, what situation will Erlang face in the end when he goes out to quell the rebellion this time?
"Princess, it's so hot, don't stand outside." Qing Lan saw that the eldest grandson Wang Yu was standing on the laurel tree for a long time, until the sun moved westward and the shade of all her positions moved to the other side, she didn't move, and couldn't help but walk over with some worry.
"Oh, I'm fine, Qian'er, Tai'er, and Lizhi are all right?" The eldest grandson princess was called by Qing Lan, and suddenly came back to her senses, she turned her gaze to Qing Lan and spoke.
"The three little masters are taking a nap, princess, it's so hot, don't stand here, hurry into the house to rest." Qinglan Road.
The eldest grandson shook off his happiness and entered the house with Qinglan, and when he went to greet the emperor and Wan Guifei in the evening, he received a notice and returned to Beijing tomorrow.
Don't talk about the eldest grandson's thoughts, but say that Concubine Yin De, after the King of Qin was ordered to leave Yuhua Mountain, she learned from Pei Lian that the prince's mutiny was exposed, and she couldn't help but be frightened for a while, ashamed and annoyed.
When the prince contacted her at that time, he only said that he would set up an ambush to kill the king of Qin when he came to Renzhi Palace with the emperor to escape the summer, but he did not say that he would raise troops to force the palace, otherwise, she would not agree to cooperate with him.
After all, the status of the favorite concubine of an emperor with great power is far from being comparable to the favorite concubine of an emperor who has no power, Pei Lin looked at her face, naturally what she was thinking, and then said: "Looking at Your Majesty's attitude now, it may not be necessary to severely punish the prince,
You're not too worried. ”
"Even if Your Majesty really wants to deal with the crown prince, this matter will not involve you, I mean, if Your Majesty does not mean to punish the prince severely, you try to help him say a few kind words in front of Your Majesty."
"He almost didn't kill me, and you still asked me to help him speak kindly......" When Concubine Yin Defei heard this, her eyes widened and she blurted out.
"With your friendship with the crown prince, even if he really ascends the throne and His Majesty becomes the emperor, you can still protect your glory and wealth, but once King Qin ascends the throne, it will be difficult to say." Pei Lin said lightly.
"......" Yin Defei.
"Of course, if Your Majesty is really determined to dispose of the crown prince, you don't have to take yourself for it." After Pei Lin left, he said again.
