On the first night of Li Shimin's victorious return from Hedong and Shanxi, Li Shimin and Guanyin began a long conversation all night after a gentle hug, and the two discussed their future plans.

Li Shimin had already made up his mind to go east out of Tongguan as soon as possible, pacify the Central Plains, and destroy Wang Shichong.

He said to Guanyin, "The sooner the country is pacified, the better, the years of conquest will only waste the national strength, the people can not live and work in peace and contentment, and after a long time, thieves will rise everywhere, and at that time, in addition to conquering all the forces in the world, they will also have to suppress bandits, and in the long run, the country will have no peace."

------

Li Shimin leaned on the pillow with his back, reclining on the couch, holding Guanyin with his right arm.

Guanyin suddenly turned over, took a pillow and put it on her chest, and lay on the couch looking at Li Shimin, her eyes were full of expectation and trust.

She supported Li Shimin and said, "Ah Wan thinks that Brother Shimin's idea is very right."

"While Grandpa is trusting you, Brother Shimin wants to try his best to get out of Tongguan as soon as possible, and this matter must be struck while the iron is hot, and if you want to burn red when the iron is cold, it will take a lot of effort."

"Now that the Tang Army is in full swing, if it is disbanded, it will add a lot of trouble if it wants to gather again. Besides, I'm afraid that the night will be long and the dream will be too long, and I don't know what bad ideas the uncle will come up with under the prodding of the staff."

------

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin, who was lying there, serious and lovely, and he put his broad palm on Guanyin's back and gently stroked it.

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said to Guanyin, "Tomorrow I will go to meet Grandpa and explain my thoughts to him in detail."

Guanyin raised her cheeks with both hands, looked at Li Shimin and said seriously, "Auntie thinks that it is better to write Brother's thoughts into a fold and submit it to Grandpa, which is more solemn."

------

Li Shimin seemed a little impatient, and he sat up suddenly, "I'll go write a recital now."

Guanyin smiled and said, "In the middle of the night, where is there such a hurry?"

Li Shimin turned around and got off the couch, turned his face to Guanyin and said, "My thoughts are surging now, and I can write a thousand words in one wave, but I am afraid that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I can't remember many thoughts anymore."

Li Shimin walked to the bookcase and sat down, unfolded the blank hand fold, lifted the pen and said to Guanyin, "Ah Wan come and grind the ink."

-----

Seeing that Li Shimin couldn't wait, Guanyin had no choice but to put on a gauze robe, get off the couch, and sit next to the bookcase to help Li Shimin polish ink.

Guanyin while grinding ink, while watching Li Shimin's writing twists, Li Shimin's calligraphy has been taught by Mrs. Dou since childhood, and he writes a handmade pen in small letters, which is the essence of Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

A piece of music was written down, and sure enough, as Li Shimin said, it was done in one go, full of brilliance, and every word was jade, but there was no alteration.

------

After writing, Li Shimin put down the pen, read it in frustration in front of Guanyin, looked at Guanyin and asked, "What do you think?" Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Guanyin's body was half-covered, her skin was like jade, and she knelt beside the bookcase and praised with a smile, "Brother Shimin not only writes well, but also writes well."

------

Li Shimin saw Guanyin's smile like a flower, a light sarong, like a fairy in the bath, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, he put down the prepared recital, couldn't help pinching it on Guanyin's pink face, and jokingly said, "Ah Wan is really good at praising people."

As he spoke, Li Shimin stood up, bent down and picked up Guanyin, Guanyin beat Li Shimin with her fists, and said coquettishly, "Let me down, Awen will go."

Li Shimin smiled and didn't speak, lowered his head and kissed the soft place in the middle of the sarle.

------

On the second day, when the Inner Dynasty was not in place, Li Shimin went to the Wanchun Hall to meet Li Yuan, presented the recital he had prepared last night, and explained his thoughts to Li Yuan in detail.

Li Yuan also felt that the matter of pacifying the world could not be delayed for such a long time, and that the national strength would be exhausted in the long run. He said to Li Shimin, "Tomorrow in the Inner Dynasty, I will gather a few important ministers to discuss the eastward departure of the army."

------

In May and June, Li Shimin was basically doing two things, one was planning with Li Yuan and the important ministers of the imperial court how to send troops to Luoyang, and the other was immersed in the love with Guanyin.

Li Shimin was busy with how to pacify the world, but the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji were thinking about how to pull Li Shimin's hind legs.

As expected by Li Shimin and Guanyin, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji began to slander Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan.

------

After Li Shimin recovered Hedong and Shanxi, his contributions became more and more prominent, and Li Yuan had the idea of letting Li Shimin replace Li Jiancheng as the crown prince.

Among Li Yuan's three adult sons, Li Jiancheng has a generous personality, soft ears, and a preference for women and safaris. People with soft ears are easy to be swayed by the people around them and easy to be used by others. If you like women and safaris, you can easily lose your mind.

Li Yuanji has just come of age, is arrogant and uninhibited, often makes mistakes, and cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Li Shimin is talented, excellent in martial arts, decisive in handling things, brave and strategic, and good at using soldiers, and he is the best candidate to inherit the unification in the future. However, due to the patriarchal rule of "establishing a descendant to be a long-term rather than a virtuous", Li Shimin was abandoned and not used. Li Yuan often felt sorry for Li Shimin in his heart.

------

After Li Jiancheng was made the crown prince, Li Yuan asked Li Gang to assist Li Jiancheng, and Li Gang found that Li Jiancheng had made mistakes and repeatedly admonished him, but Li Jiancheng always did not listen. Li Gang was helpless, and twice asked Li Yuan to resign and ask to return to his hometown.

Li Yuan did not punish Li Jiancheng too much on the surface, but he was very disappointed in his heart, and he wondered in his heart whether a prince like Li Jiancheng would be able to keep the hard-won Tang Dynasty in the future.

------

Li Jiancheng is becoming more and more unsuccessful, but Li Shimin is showing more and more extraordinary talents.

The balance in Li Yuan's heart gradually tilted towards Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng saw that his position was becoming more and more unstable, and he was very uneasy, and he had a close relationship with his fourth brother Li Yuanji, so he told him his worries.

------

Li Yuanji was not loved by Mrs. Dou since he was a child, and Li Yuan was not often at home, Li Yuanji actually grew up under the care of Li Jiancheng.

Therefore, although Li Yuanji is arrogant and untamable, he has great respect for Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng's status in Li Yuanji's heart is even lower than that of Li Yuan and Mrs. Dou.

Li Yuanji didn't want to see Li Shimin and Guanyin, but now he sees that Li Shimin endangers Li Jiancheng's status, and he also has resentment towards Li Shimin.

------

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji discussed how to bring down Li Shimin, and tried every means to shake Li Shimin's position in Li Yuan's heart. The two of them began to woo Li Yuan's favorite concubines and buy Li Yuan's favored ministers.

Li Yuan's favorite concubines Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu have both given birth to princes for Li Yuan, and the two are also thinking of finding a backer for the future of themselves and their sons. They believe that Li Jiancheng is the current prince and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, so they try their best to curry favor with Li Jiancheng and find a way to get closer to Li Jiancheng.

------

Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu wanted to rely on Li Jiancheng in the future, and Li Jiancheng wanted to use Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu to blow Li Yuan's pillow wind to say bad things about Li Shimin.

There are some things that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji can't say directly in front of Li Yuan, so they let Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu find an opportunity to say that Li Shimin is not.

------

After Li Yuanji fled back to Chang'an from Jinyang, he lived in the backyard of Wude Palace.

The Wude Hall where Li Yuanji lives is very close to the Wanchun Hall where Li Yuan lives, and there are only two hundred steps between the Daji Hall and the Lizheng Hall in the middle, and it is very convenient to travel between the two.

Don't look at Li Yuanji's age, but he is extremely treacherous and scheming. In order to curry favor with Li Yuan, he went to Li Yuan every morning and evening to greet him, talk to Li Yuan, and report to Li Yuan about his practice of martial arts.

When he was close to Li Yuan, Li Yuanji occasionally said a few bad words about Li Shimin, intentionally or unintentionally.

------

Li Yuan is a very tolerant person, on the surface, he doesn't take big things to heart, and he fights for big and small things.

Li Yuanji lost Shanxi, that was where Li Yuan made his career, but Li Yuan did not punish Li Yuanji at all.

People who can't see through Li Yuan think that Li Yuan is easy to deceive, and Li Shimin and Guanyin have also had such an illusion.

In fact, Li Yuan is a very wise person, he is pretending to be stupid on the surface, and he is like a mirror to everything in his heart, he is just secretly observing, without arousing your vigilance, making you self-defeating.

-----

Li Yuan is always silently waiting for a good opportunity, he pretends to be stupid when the time is not ripe, and once the time is right, he is extremely decisive.

Before Jinyang raised troops, he killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya; When Li conspired to rebel, he sent someone to deal with Li Mi; When Liu Wenjing was restless, Li Yuan was afraid that he would instigate Li Shimin, so he killed Liu Wenjing, the father of the Jinyang army, on trumped-up charges.

Therefore, many people always look down on Li Yuan, but this seemingly tolerant and kind Li Yuan can always get things done.

------

Li Yuanji and Li Yuan's favorite concubines said bad things about Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan, Li Yuan never refuted them, but he always showed a serious look.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji thought that Li Yuan believed what they said, and they felt a little proud in their hearts.

However, no one can really understand whether these words that are unfavorable to Li Shimin have played a role in Li Yuan's ears.

------

Under the continuous slander of Li Shimin by Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu, Li Yuan still decided to let Li Shimin lead the troops and go east to Tongguan as soon as possible to pacify the Central Plains.

However, at this time, someone reported to Li Yuan that Li Zhongwen, the governor of Bingzhou, who was stationed in Jinyang, had the intention of colluding with the Turks to rebel.

Li Zhongwen was Li Mi's uncle, and he and Li Mi's father were both grandsons of Li Bi, the Duke of Zhao in the Sui Dynasty.

------

Li Zhongwen succeeded Li Yuanji as the governor of the state, which was recommended by Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji also held a grudge against Li Zhongwen for replacing him.

Li Yuanji complained to Li Yuan, he only abandoned Jinyang because Li Zhongwen did not listen to his orders, he had the intention of rebellion at that time, wanted to retain his strength, and deliberately did not save Li Yuanji.

Li Jiancheng also took the opportunity to slander Li Shimin, saying that Li Shimin's recommendation of Li Zhongwen was suspected of negligence.

------

After receiving a report that Li Zhongwen wanted to rebel, Li Yuan was thinking about how to deal with Li Zhongwen. After disposing of Li Zhongwen, Shanxi and Hedong will be unstable, and the rear will be unstable, can you still send troops to the Central Plains?

Also, should Li Shimin be held accountable for his negligence?

At this critical time when Li Shimin was about to lead his troops out of Tongguan, Li Yuan needed to think carefully.
