Li Shimin arranged for the Guanzhong prefectures and his staff to rejuvenate the peasants and strengthen the army, and rebuild the 12th Army, but he himself was idle and devoted himself to giving birth to children.

However, east of the Yellow River and south of the Yellow River, news of the defeat of the Tang army frequently came.

formulated by Li Yuan, and Li Xiaogong went out of Bashu to pacify Jiangnan in the south; In the north, Li Shentong goes out of Shanxi, Hebei and Pingding Shandong; In the middle, Wei Zheng and Li Shiyun came forward to persuade Li Mi's old troops to surrender, and the plan of a three-way attack was completely frustrated.

------

Li Xiaogong, the governor of Shinshu on the South Road, not only failed to advance eastward, but Xiazhou, Shangxia and other cities were also harassed by Xiao Milling many times.

Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County on the north road, and Wei Zheng and Li Shiyun in the middle, not only failed to expand the land, but were defeated.

What is even more distressing is that the Shanxi and Hedong guarded by Li Yuanji were originally the foundation of Li Yuan's Jinyang army, but now almost all of them have fallen.

-------

First of all, let's talk about Li Yuanji, the governor of the state and the king of Qi who guarded Shanxi and Hedong.

In this year, Li Yuanji turned sixteen years old and married the granddaughter of Yang Xiong, the former king of Chaode, as the princess of Qi.

The year before last, when Guanyin was in Jinyang, Li Yuanji did not listen to Wen Dayou and Tang Xian's persuasion to mess around in Jinyang Palace, and was designed and rectified by Guanyin.

In February last year, Wen Dayou returned to Chang'an with Guanyin, leaving Tang Xian to assist Li Yuanji.

------

After Guanyin left Jinyang, no one could suppress Li Yuanji anymore, and Li Yuanji began to indulge again.

Li Yuanji was endowed with extraordinary talents, grew older, his martial arts increased greatly, and he had nowhere to release his energy, so he played war games with domestic slaves and guards again, often letting hundreds of people fight in armor, and many people were killed and wounded.

Tang Xian came forward to dissuade him many times, but Li Yuanji didn't listen at all. Tang Xian had no choice but to come up with a way to vent Li Yuanji's inexhaustible energy.

------

Tang Xian's best skill is hunting, and when Li Yuan was in Jinyang, he often accompanied Li Yuan out to hunt.

Tang Xian thought that instead of letting Li Yuanji mess around in the palace and use domestic slaves and guards as opponents, it was better to let him go out hunting, so that he could not only practice martial arts, but also not cause casualties.

So, he induced Li Yuanji to go out hunting with him.

------

After Li Yuanji followed Tang Xian to participate in several hunts, he became fascinated by hunting, and he felt itchy if he didn't go out to hunt for a day.

Every time he went out hunting, Li Yuanji had people pull dozens of carts of hunting equipment and hug them out of the city.

During the hunting, Li Yuanji did not control his subordinates, and everywhere he went, he trampled on the people's crops and robbed the people's property.

What's more, Li Yuanji took pleasure in shooting people with arrows, and he led his entourage to gallop on the streets, shooting people with arrows on the street to see if the people who were shot could dodge.

------

Li Yuanji's evil deeds caused the people of Jinyang to complain.

Tang Xian wanted to advise, but he couldn't do anything, so in desperation, he had to play Li Yuan and ask Li Yuan to send someone else to assist Li Yuanji.

At the beginning of the year, Li Yuan sent the commander of the horse, the palace supervisor Dou Dan, and the right guard general Yu Wenxin to Jinyang to assist Li Yuanji.

------

After Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin arrived in Jinyang, Li Yuanji didn't take the two of them seriously at all, and still went his own way.

Li Yuanji said to Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin, "I'd rather go without eating for three days than not hunting for a day."

Dou Dan couldn't be dissuaded, so he had to accompany Li Yuanji out to hunt every day, so as not to make a bigger mess.

------

The most shameful thing is that Li Yuanji has a group of wives and concubines, and he can't satisfy his Yin desire, he actually took people out of the house at night, stepped on the door and raped folk women.

Yu Wenxin repeatedly admonished, but after all, it had no effect, he was afraid that the chaos would get bigger and bigger, and he would not be able to exonerate himself from the crime of ineffective assistance, so he truthfully told Li Yuan what Li Yuanji had done, and also reported to Li Yuan about Dou Dan's indulgence of Li Yuanji.

------

Li Yuan was furious after receiving Yuwen Xin's report and dismissed Li Yuanji from all official positions.

Li Yuanji is not very old, but he is cunning and abnormal, he forced the local heroes and celebrities in Jinyang to jointly write to Li Yuan, and praised Li Yuanji in the song, praising him for his strong martial arts, brave and invincible, and the foundation to ensure the stability of Shanxi, and unanimously demanded that Li Yuanji be retained.

Li Yuan saw that Li Yuanji was unanimously supported by the powerful and celebrities in Jinyang, so he changed his mind and restored Li Yuanji's official position.

Since ancient times, a loving father has a defeated child, and Li Yuan is not exempt from vulgarity, and he is also very spoiled by Li Yuanji, who has lacked maternal love since childhood, and the result is a carbuncle and a big mistake.

------

In April, Liu Wuzhou, who was entrenched in Mayi, colluded with the Turks and prepared to attack Shanxi and Hedong in the south.

After two years of accumulating strength, Liu Wuzhou was very powerful at this time, and he personally led the army into the Yellow Snake Ridge and prepared to go south.

Li Yuanji did not know the truth of Liu Wuzhou, so he sent Zhang Da, a chariot general, to take more than 100 foot soldiers to test it.

Zhang Da thought that the troops were too small and did not want to go, but Li Yuanji did not listen and forcibly sent Zhang Da there.

------

After Zhang arrived at the Yellow Snake Ridge, he was all captured by Liu Wuzhou. Zhang Da was resentful in his heart, so he led Liu Wuzhou's army to attack Yuci City.

Then, Liu Wuzhou sent the general Song Jingang to lead 30,000 elite soldiers south to besiege Jinyang.

Li Yuanji held on to the city, and Li Yuan heard the news and sent Taichangqing Li Zhongwen to lead the troops to rescue Jinyang.

Song Jingang saw that it was difficult to capture Jinyang City for a while, so he bypassed Jinyang and led his army south, capturing Pingyao in May and Jiezhou in June.

Seeing that the situation in Shanxi was critical, Li Yuan issued an edict: Jiang Baoyi, the general of Wuwei, and Li Zhongwen, the head of the march, led the army to attack Song Jingang.

------

Song Jingang ordered Huang Ziying to go to the Bird Mouse Valley and led a small number of troops to challenge Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen several times.

Huang Ziying pretended to be defeated and fled every time he first fought. Such repeated provocations, Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen were furious and led the whole army to pursue, Song Jingang had already set up an ambush, and suddenly attacked, the Tang army was defeated, and Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen were all captured.

Later, Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen fled back, but Li Yuan still let the two of them lead the army to resist Song Jingang.

------

Shanxi and Hedong were in danger, Li Yuan was worried, and he summoned Li Jiancheng, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Liu Wenjing, Chen Shuda, Li Gang and other important ministers of the imperial court to discuss countermeasures.

Li Jiancheng, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Liu Wenjing, Chen Shuda, Li Gang and others all knew that Li Yuan was unwilling to use Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng and Pei Lin had other plans in their hearts, so they naturally didn't want Li Shimin to make great achievements.

Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Li Gang are people who read books, love the influence of Confucianism, and believe in the principle of "establishing a successor to be a superior rather than a virtuous".

These five people all know that once Li Shimin is enabled, it will be a tiger to be released from the mountain, and it will be extremely difficult to put him in a cage, and the final result will endanger the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty.

------

Among these six people, only Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing know how to use soldiers.

Li Jiancheng, as the crown prince, is not suitable for leading troops as a commander.

In the case of not using Li Shimin, only Liu Wenjing can save Shanxi and Hedong from danger.

Among these six important ministers, only Liu Wenjing resolutely demanded that Li Shimin be entrusted with important tasks.

Since everyone else did not agree to use Li Shimin, Li Yuan did not come up with a feasible strategy after consulting with several important ministers.

------

Since Li Yuan became emperor, Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing, the two fathers of Jinyang, have been suspicious.

Liu Wenjing thinks that her talent and merit are above Pei Lian, but her rank is below Pei Lian, and she is very unfair in her heart.

Once when he was drinking with his younger brother Liu Wenqi at home, after getting drunk, Liu Wenjing was resentful, pulled out a knife and slashed at the pillar, and said hatefully, "I must cut off Pei Lian's head."

Every time he discussed in the court, no matter what Pei Lin said, Liu Wenjing opposed it and insulted Pei Lin several times, so Pei Lin held a grudge against Liu Wenjing.

-------

Pei Lin also wanted to get rid of Liu Wenjing, but there was no evidence to bring him down. So he came up with a plan to buy off Liu Wenjing's younger brother Liu Wenqi's concubine and let her collect evidence of Liu Wenjing's rebellion.

Liu Wenjing's family had a mole, so it was not calm, and the house was often haunted, which made the family panic.

Liu Wenqi used the method of disgust with victory, his hair was scattered, and he held a knife in his mouth to exorcise ghosts and catch demons in the house.

------

Now, Li Yuan is now convening several important ministers to discuss the matter of dealing with Liu Wuzhou, if Li Shimin is not used, only Liu Wenjing is good at using troops among several important ministers, Pei Lin is afraid that Li Yuan will appoint Liu Wenjing as the commander, if Liu Wenjing makes a great contribution again, it will be extremely unfavorable to Pei Lian.

Pei Lin thought about getting rid of Liu Wenjing as soon as possible, and he secretly asked Liu Wenqi's concubine to report what Liu Wenjing's brothers did.

------

Li Yuan is actually not at ease with Liu Wenjing.

As soon as Liu Wenjing was Li Mi's in-law, after Li conspired to rebel and was killed, Li Yuan was on guard against Liu Wenjing.

The second is that Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin have a close relationship, and Li Yuan is afraid that Liu Wenjing will instigate Li Shimin to compete for the crown prince, so that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers will kill each other.

With these two layers of consideration, it is only a matter of time before Li Yuan wants to get rid of Liu Wenjing.

------

Li Yuan received a report from Liu Wenqi's concubine, so he discussed with Li Jiancheng, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Li Gang how to deal with Liu Wenjing.

Li Yuan said to several important ministers, "Judging from Liu Wenjing's words and deeds, he really wants to rebel."

Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Li Gang think that Liu Wenjing will not oppose.

Pei Lin said to Li Yuan, "Liu Wenjing is a little more courageous than ordinary people, insidious and cunning, what kind of person he is, the Lord knows best. If it is undecided today, it will be a trouble to keep him."

------

Li Yuan thought about it again and again, and finally adopted Pei Lian's opinion, and executed Liu Wenjing and Liu Wenqi, and the whole family was not enslaved in the official mansion, and the family property was confiscated.

Poor Liu Wenjing, who tried his best to plan for Li Shimin at the beginning, induced Li Yuan and Pei Lin to rebel, but in the end ended up being a rabbit and a dead dog.

This is no wonder to others, only to blame himself for being too strong in fame and fortune.

-------

Li Yuan killed Liu Wenjing, and there were no important ministers in the court who led the troops to fight against Liu Wuzhou, so did he want to use Li Shimin?

The answer is no.
