Chapter 178: The Plan of the Two Tigers
After receiving Yang Guang's edict, Li Shimin advised Li Yuan to immediately raise troops to make trouble, and Li Yuan should take this opportunity to make a fortune about the destiny of heaven.
Li Shimin thought that his father's idea was too outrageous, but Guanyin followed Li Yuan's words and wanted to try the will of heaven
------
Persuasion is also an art.
When persuading others, if you go against him, the other party will close his heart, and no matter how reasonable you say, the other party will not listen.
If you follow him, the other party will open up and listen to your nagging with an open mind, and you will have the opportunity to continue talking, and the other party will weigh the pros and cons according to your analysis in a comfortable mood, and finally adopt your opinion.
After studying "Guiguzi", Guanyin is now well versed in the way of persuasion, and after many uses, she has tried and failed.
Li Yuan listened to what Guanyin said, his heart was very ironing, and he was very happy, and the people he liked to be close to him the most said that he was destined to be in his body, which was his strongest spiritual sustenance, and the best hope for the future.
------
Li Yuan looked at Guanyin happily, with a loving smile on his face, "Auntie, tell me, what should we do next?"
Guanyin's voice was quiet, and she said eloquently, "Grandpa, I have heard people often say that you must do your best to obey the destiny of heaven. No matter what you do, after you have done your best, you will see how God arranges it. In this way, perhaps the heavens are testing our ability and wisdom, and whether the chosen ones can take their places."
Li Yuan nodded with a smile, "Well, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, there is such a saying."
------
Guanyin continued, "Mencius said, 'Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and benefit what they can't."
"That is to say, for a person who is about to be entrusted by heaven, the heavens will first test him and train him, so that he will be further equipped with the ability to take on great responsibilities."
Li Yuan nodded slightly while listening to Guanyin's words of the sage.
------
Guanyin looked at Li Yuan with reverence and praised, "Grandpa now holds the military and political power of the five counties of Shanxi and is in charge of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, so he has come to this day, which step is not the result of Grandpa's painstaking and careful planning?"
Li Yuan smiled kindly, "Grandpa doesn't dare to take credit, all of this is thanks to Erlang and Granda who have come up with many good ideas."
Li Shimin saw that Guanyin not only said what she was about to say, but also coaxed Li Yuan to be happy, and hurriedly complimented his father, "If Grandpa didn't do a good job, it would be useless for me and Grandma to have a good idea."
------
A young couple cooperated seamlessly, coaxing Li Yuan to be happy, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at Guanyin with a smile, "Tell me, what are your good ideas this time?"
When Guanyin introduced the situation to Li Yuan, her heart was already turning a thousand times, and she was thinking about Yang Guang's motive for sending only one Si Zhi to Jinyang to issue an edict thousands of miles away this time.
Let a single envoy go thousands of miles away to kill a border city guard, and bring back a feudal official with a heavy army, it feels like child's play when you think about it.
When the world is in turmoil, if you act so hastily, are you not afraid of provoking a mutiny? Even if Yang Guang is stupid, he will not be so stupid. Therefore, the real purpose of Priest's trip is very suspicious.
Before Li Yuan asked Guanyin, she had already considered all kinds of possibilities in her mind.
------
Now seeing Li Yuan's question, Guanyin was already in her chest, and she replied calmly, "Grandpa, I think Yang Guang is not at ease with you, and he is deliberately playing tricks."
Li Yuan was full of interest, and asked Guanyin with a smile, "What tricks will Yang Guang play?"
Guanyin replied, "I think there are two possibilities, one is to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the other is to knock the mountain and shock the tiger."
Li Yuan laughed and said, "According to Ah Wan, Yang Guang really treats me as a tiger, and there is a 'tiger, word' left and right."
Li Shimin echoed, "The tiger is the king of all beasts, and Grandpa is the dragon and phoenix among people, and the two are commensurate."
------
Li Yuan asked curiously, "What do you say about this Tiger Leaving the Mountain?"
Guanyin explained, "This transfer of the tiger from the mountain means that Yang Guang is suspicious of Grandpa and wants to transfer you out of Shanxi, just as the edict says, let Fang Duo take you to Jiangdu to confess."
"But I don't think it's very likely, Grandpa, you tell me the truth, are you willing to hand over the military power in your hands? What will you do if you don't want to surrender your military power?"
Li Yuan said from the bottom of his heart, "If I hand over the military power, I don't know if there is still a life when I arrive in Jiangdu, how can I easily hand over the military power? If you are unwilling to surrender the right to the army and disobey Yang Guang's edict, there is only one way to raise troops and start an incident."
------
Guanyin asked, "If Grandpa wants to rebel, can Fang Duo stop it?" Can Wang Wei and Gao Junya control the situation?"
Li Yuan's face showed disdain, "In this place of Jinyang, it's not easy to clean up a few of them."
Guanyin asked again and again, "If Grandpa can think of these situations, wouldn't Yang Guang think of them?" Yang Guang couldn't think of it, didn't anyone think of the important ministers of the court around him? Yang Guang sent a Si Zhi over, is it just to force Grandpa to rebel early?"
Li Yuan nodded convincingly, "Even if Yang Guang is obsessed, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, Lai Hu'er and the others who are following him will not be unaware of the consequences."
------
Guanyin continued, "There is another point, Yang Guang should have thought that if he killed Wang Rengong, Ma Yi would definitely be in turmoil in the hearts of the army and the people; When I brought my grandfather to Jiangdu, the civil and military officials of the five counties of Shanxi lost their restraint, and the Turks lost their fear, so wouldn't the five counties of Shanxi immediately become the world of thieves and Turks?"
Li Yuan thought so, "Even if Yang Guang really wants to transfer me away, he should send a member of the imperial court to pick me up, and he won't be so hasty. Therefore, what the edict said about bringing me to Jiangdu to ask for guilt should be false, and there should be other arrangements in the future, and we still have to wait and see what happens."
------
After concluding about Guanyin's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, Li Yuan then asked Guanyin, "So, what do you say about the plan to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger?"
Guanyin looked at Li Yuan, then at Li Shimin and said with a smile, "Grandpa and Brother Shimin, just listen to me alone, you won't think Grandpa is poor-mouthed, right?"
Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Where will it be? Grandpa's analysis is reasonable, and Grandpa and I are listening to each other, waiting for you to talk about it."
------
As he spoke, Li Shimin reached out to lift the pulp pot, ready to pour buttermilk for Li Yuan and Guanyin, only to find that the pulp pot had become cold.
He said to Guanyin, "You wait a while, and I'll let Zifu change a pot of hot buttermilk."
Then he turned his face and shouted "Zifu" outside the door, Zifu answered outside the door, opened the curtain and came in, bowed to the three of them, and asked, "What do you command?"
Li Shimin instructed, "You go and change a pot of hot buttermilk."
Zifu hurriedly confessed, "It's all to blame for the carelessness of the slave maid, who actually forgot that the buttermilk in the pot was already cold."
Li Shimin smiled and said to Zifu, "It's not your fault, I didn't call you, you just stood guard outside the door."
Zifu carried the pot out of the room, and after a while, she brought another pot of hot buttermilk and poured it for Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Guanyin. Then, he saluted the three and left the room.
------
Li Shimin smiled and picked up the buttermilk in front of Guanyin, handed it to her with both hands, and said, "Sister Maid moistened her throat and continued."
Guanyin glanced at Li Shimin, who was courteous to herself, and was not polite to him, took the buttermilk and took a sip, did not put down the bowl, and continued to hold it in her hand.
------
She looked at Li Yuan demure and dignified, and then said on the topic just now, "Grandpa, this plan to knock the mountain and shock the tiger is to test you. Yang Guang wants to see how you deal with the majesty of the royal family, and he wants to judge whether you are disobedient through your response."
Li Yuan asked Guanyin, "How can he judge whether I have a disobedient heart?"
Guanyin thought for a while, put the buttermilk on the table, sat down with her hands forked according to the ceremony, and said to Li Yuan,
"If Grandpa follows the edict and is at the mercy of Si Zhifangduo, you should be considered to have no heart for submission;"
"If Grandpa has a whisper, or opposes the arrangement of the priest, you should be betrayed for your disobedience."
------
Li Yuan smiled in understanding, "Then, I will pretend to be a sheep at the mercy of Fang Duo for the next few days."
Guanyin nodded, "Grandpa has been following Fang Duo in everything these days, but it is harmless."
"According to my estimate, if he judges that Grandpa has no disobedience to him, there will be a way to exonerate you; If it is judged that Grandpa has a disobedient heart, he may design with Wang Wei and Gao Junya to kill you, or it may be difficult to make a decision for a while, and think about it in the long run."
------
Li Shimin said to Li Yuan, "Grandpa must be very careful these days, either he will spend it safely, or it will be very dangerous. The key is that we don't know what other follow-up measures Yang Guang has arranged, so we have to guard against it."
Guanyin also followed to persuade Li Yuan, "Grandpa must not be taken lightly, maybe there will be traps everywhere next, and it will be dangerous and abnormal."
------
Li Yuan also knew that this was a critical time for his life, so he promised Li Shimin and Guanyin that he would be careful, and praised Guanyin for thinking about it comprehensively.
He drank the buttermilk while thinking about it, and suddenly put down the bowl and looked at Guanyin, "Awu, have you ever thought of a way to deal with it?"
Guanyin did think about how to deal with it, but she didn't know much about the situation in Taiyuan County and Jinyang, so she didn't dare to make a decision, so she had to say to Li Yuan, "Grandpa, Grandpa, I don't know much about all aspects of the situation, and you still need to make a decision on how to do it." I can only make a rough judgment."
------
Next, Guanyin talked about her thoughts on how to deal with the current situation.
"I think that if Fang Duo is in a hurry to kill Wang Rengong and take Grandpa away, he will transfer the tiger away from the mountain, although this possibility is not very likely, but Grandpa will immediately raise his army."
"If Fang Duo is not in a hurry to kill Wang Rengong and take Grandpa away, it will knock the mountain and shock the tiger, even if Grandpa is in good disguise, he has to prevent him from seeing the flaws, in this case, Grandpa must ensure his own safety, and secondly, he must be ready to raise troops."
Guanyin finally concluded, "No matter what the situation is, Grandpa must be ready to raise troops at any time, this is a foolproof strategy without accidents."
------
Li Yuan listened carefully to Guanyin's thoughts, with a look of certainty and victory, and said in a deep voice, "In terms of the army, you two don't need to worry too much, the tens of thousands of troops in Taiyuan are all built by me to hunt down thieves, as long as I give an order, I can start an incident at any time." Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the two deputies, were left behind only in name, and they could not mobilize the army without my order."
"Tomorrow I will order my headquarters to be on guard in secret, just in case. As for Fang Duo, I'll leave everything at his mercy and see what tricks he can play."
------
Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan was full of confidence, but he was a little uneasy, and he suggested to Li Yuan, "Grandpa, we must deploy according to the real army, and all details must be considered."
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and said, "Erlang, you also talk about your thoughts."
Li Shimin had been listening to Guanyin's analysis just now, and he was also thinking about how to deal with it, and now he has a complete set of coping plans in his heart.
