Chapter 289: An Unforeseen Disease
Feng Deyi came to the East Palace to report to Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan was ready to let Li Shimin go to guard Luoyang.
Li Jiancheng was very happy to hear it at first, and he said to Feng Deyi, "This should be a good thing, if the King of Qin goes to Luoyang, the lord will no longer have the idea of making him the crown prince, and there will be no threat to Lone."
Feng Deyi shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't think so. When the king of Qin arrived in Luoyang, he had land and armor, and there was no way to control him. After 10,000 years of the Lord, he will definitely rebel. The King of Qin is brave and strategic, most of the whole world has been pacified by his hands, and most of the generals who hold military power in various places are his old subordinates.
------
Li Jiancheng was also worried after hearing this, "After being reminded by the seal, Gu Yi felt that letting King Qin go to Luoyang was to let the tiger return to the mountain. How to deal with it, can there be a good way to seal the minister?"
Feng Deyi said, "The minister thought that it was better to leave the King of Qin in Chang'an, although he had the power of the army in his hands, but with the lord in his hands, the King of Qin did not dare to mobilize the army without authorization. When he was in the palace, he was alone, and there was an opportunity to easily get rid of him."
------
After Li Jiancheng discussed with Feng Deyi and Li Yuanji, he went to meet Li Yuan with Li Yuanji.
Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuan, "Erchen heard that in the past two days, the staff of the Qin Wangfu have cheered one by one, saying that they are going to follow the Qin King to Luoyang. Looking at them like that, it seems that they are in a hurry to go to Luoyang. I wonder if Grandpa told his second brother to let him go to Luoyang to take up a post?"
Li Yuan did tell Li Shimin to let him go to Luoyang, but Li Shimin had clearly refused and was unwilling to go. Now that Li Jiancheng said that the staff of the Qin Palace, they were cheering one by one, and Li Yuan knew that he was lying when he heard it.
------
Li Yuan's heart is like a mirror, but he doesn't expose Li Jiancheng's lies on the spot, this is the cultivation of being an emperor.
Li Yuan seemed worried and said to Li Jiancheng, "Grandpa sees that your brothers are not harmonious, and he is afraid that Erlang will stay in Chang'an and you will have another dispute, so he wants to separate you, so that you are no longer together, and you can be safe and sound. Grandpa doesn't have to worry about fighting all day long."
Li Jiancheng admonished Li Yuan, "Grandpa must not let the second brother go east, once he goes to Luoyang, he will not come back, and in the future, he may follow the example of Yang Liang, the king of Han, and will definitely rebel."
------
Li Yuan listened to what Li Jiancheng said, and pretended to be surprised, "Da Lang didn't say it, Grandpa really didn't think like this. Erlang went to Luoyang, if he really wants to rebel, it will be really difficult to control."
Li Yuanji protested, "Erchen thinks it's better to kill him to prevent future troubles."
Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji and scolded angrily, "Shiro must not talk nonsense, Erlang has the merit of pacifying the world and is not at fault, so why kill him?"
Li Yuanji argued, "When Luoyang was pacified, the second brother was reluctant to come back from Luoyang, scattering gold, silver and jade silk to buy people's hearts, and Grandpa's hand was not as effective as his fatwa. Now he is in a hurry to go to Luoyang again, isn't this a rebellion? As long as you want to kill him, you're afraid you won't find a reason?"
------
Li Yuan did not agree with Li Yuanji to kill Li Shimin on the grounds of rebellion.
He said to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, "Grandpa will no longer consider letting Erlang go to Luoyang, but you two must also take into account the brotherhood and can't do anything unfavorable to Erlang."
Li Yuan appeased Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin before letting the two of them leave.
------
After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji left, Li Yuan thought about Li Yuanji's words carefully, which made Li Yuan even more worried.
Listening to Li Yuanji's words, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have formed a gang, and they and Li Shimin have reached a situation where they are incompatible.
Li Yuan could not untie this knot, no matter who inherited the unification in the future, the other party must be eliminated, and no matter how it was arranged, the two sides could not coexist.
------
If the power of the uninherited ruler is removed, this son will have no power to resist, and he will die faster, Li Yuan feels sorry for this son.
If he didn't cut off the power of the uninheritor, he would have the capital to fight to the death, and once the brothers met with swords, it would endanger Li Tang's country.
------
In the past, Li Yuan once thought about continuing to let Li Jiancheng be the crown prince, and then find a reason to punish Li Shimin, take away Li Shimin's power and official position, and let Li Jiancheng protect Li Shimin from death.
Li Yuan told Chen Shuda about this idea.
Chen Shuda reminded Li Yuan, "King Qin has made great contributions to the world and cannot be deposed."
"Moreover, the King of Qin has a strong temperament, and if he is suppressed, he will be overwhelmed with grief and anger, or if he has an unforeseen illness, His Majesty will regret it too late."
------
Chen Shuda said very secretly, and what he said about "unforeseen diseases" implied two meanings.
Literally, it means that Li Shimin may be angry to death.
The implicit implication is that if he annoys Li Shimin, Li Shimin may immediately do something unfavorable to Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
------
Li Yuan thought to himself that it was unlikely that Li Shimin would be angry to death. But the rabbit is not in a hurry and does not bite, which annoys Li Shimin, who has a heavy army, but it may be more dangerous than the rabbit.
Li Yuan knows his son best, Li Shimin has always been decisive in killing, and he never dragged his feet when it was critical.
The military power in his hands is the foundation for Li Shimin to save his life, and the most likely result is that he just said that he would take away his military power, and in turn he might have to kill people.
------
Li Yuan is now in a dilemma, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's two sons, he can only choose one of the two.
The son who did not inherit the unification, Li Yuan tried all the means, and it was impossible for him to keep it.
What Li Yuan can do is to choose a son who is more conducive to Jiangshan Sheji and inherit the unification in the future; The other one, whether he can survive or not, Li Yuan has no choice but to resign himself to fate.
------
Li Shimin cannot be deposed, Li Shimin is beyond Li Yuan's ability to control.
However, Li Yuan can't abolish Li Jiancheng's position as the crown prince, according to the patriarchal law of the Rites and Religions, it should be "to establish a successor to be a long-term rather than a virtuous", Li Jiancheng is not a big mistake, and Li Yuan has no way to abolish Li Jiancheng.
The current situation is that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are already on the same page, and if this internal friction continues for a long time, it may endanger the society of the country.
------
Li Yuan wants to cut through the mess quickly.
He will be over sixty years old this year, and the question of who will inherit the throne cannot be postponed any longer.
If it continues to drag on, the Tang Dynasty laid down by this painstaking operation may be ruined.
------
What should Li Yuan do?
He could not depose Li Shimin.
He can't depose Li Jiancheng as the crown prince.
He could not kill any of his own sons with his own hands.
Li Yuan wants to do the opposite, he wants to use Li Shimin to make Li Shimin suffer from "unforeseen diseases".
------
In the spring of the ninth year of Wude, Li Yuan issued an edict appointing Pei Lin as Sikong and Li Yuanji as Situ.
So far, the positions of the three dukes have their own belongings, Li Shimin is the captain, Pei Lin is the Sikong, and Li Yuanji is the Situ.
Looking at Li Yuan's meaning, it seems that there is a balance between Li Shimin, and the world does not know what he thinks.
------
At the same time, Li Jing, the governor of Tiao'an Prefecture, went north from Lingnan and was reappointed as the head of the Lingzhou Road march to fight against the Turks in Beisai.
Send Wen Daya to Luoyang to assist Qu Tutong in guarding Luoyang.
Li Shichang was appointed as the head of the march in parallel with the state, and he sat in Jinyang.
------
Li Jing, Wen Daya, and Li Shiyun are all Li Shimin's people, Li Jing supports troops in the northwest of Chang'an, Wen Daya supports troops in the east of Chang'an, and Li Shiyun supports troops in the northeast of Chang'an.
Li Shimin concurrently served as the governor of Yongzhou, and commanded the elite troops to sit in Guanzhong.
The entire surrounding area of Chang'an is all in Li Shimin's sphere of influence.
------
Li Shimin's lieutenant is in real power.
Li Yuanji's Situ, Shizhong, and the governor of the prefecture are just vain.
The military power of the state was in the hands of Li Shimin's old subordinate, Li Shixian.
------
Since the pacification of the United States, the Turkic border has been plagued, and dozens of times a year have been harassed on the border of the Tang Dynasty.
In February, the Turks invaded Wonju.
In March, the Turks invaded Lingzhou and Liangzhou and imprisoned Ouyang Yin, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
In April, the Turks invaded Shuozhou, Yuanzhou, and Jingzhou. Li Jing engaged the Turkic Jieli Khan at Kipshi in Lingzhou and repelled the Turkic army.
------
The Turks frequently invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuan hated it.
In the past, the Tang Dynasty exchanged letters with the Turks, using national letters, and treating the Turks with national courtesy to show respect for the Turks.
However, Li Yuan was so angry by the Turks' actions that he ordered his subordinates, "The Turks are greedy and insatiable, and I will levy them and exchange letters with the Turks in the future, instead of using state letters, but edicts." Treat the Turks as the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
------
The struggle between the top echelons of power in the Tang Dynasty is not clear to outsiders.
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji are deeply involved, but they have a sense of skin.
All the changes were expected by Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are more and more trusted by Li Yuan on the surface, but the reality is that they are becoming more and more unfavorable.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had the feeling that the noose was about to be put around their necks, and they were ready to fight to the death at any time.
------
Entering April, it was supposed to be summer, but the weather was still very cold, giving people a feeling of spring cold.
On this day, Li Shimin and Guanyin had nothing to do and went to the garden of Hongyi Palace to relax.
Li Shimin and Guanyin walked in the garden, still wearing jackets at this time.
In this season, the flowers have gone, and although the trees in the garden are lush and lush, they cannot feel the vitality in the cold wind and the dim light and shadow.
------
Guanyin complained to Li Shimin, "Such a cold day, I don't know when it will be a head?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's almost there, no matter how long the winter is, it won't survive the summer."
The two walked slowly along the path, and before they came to Qinglu, the small bridge flowed quietly.
Because there were no people for a long time, the courtyard of Qinglu was full of crazy grass and stump branches.
------
Guanyin said to herself, "Summer is coming, you should clean up here, and you have to come here to escape the heat when it's hot."
Li Shimin suddenly remembered the past, "When I arrived here, I suddenly remembered that it had been two years since my eldest brother instructed Yang Wengan to rebel. Our brothers fought with each other for another two years, and so far there has been no result."
------
Guanyin looked at the dead tree and branches behind the house, and said quietly, "Grandpa still has a hard time making a choice, and he still can't make up his mind."
Li Shimin said slowly, "I think it's fast, if he doesn't make up his mind for a day, he will suffer one more day. Grandpa is also very difficult, I really can't bear to persecute an old man who is over 60 years old."
"If you can let Grandpa make your own decisions, it can be regarded as our filial piety."
------
At this time, Guanyin raised her face and looked at Li Shimin suspiciously, "Grandpa thinks that Grandpa is a little abnormal this year."
Li Shimin looked at Guanyin with a smile in his eyes, "What did Ah Wan find abnormal?"
Guanyin looked up at Li Shimin and said, "It's April now, according to the practice of previous years, Grandpa wants to go to the cool palace to escape the summer, why hasn't there been any movement this year?"
------
Li Shimin turned around, faced the small bridge to the south, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
He didn't look at Guanyin, and said to himself, "I guess I won't go out again this year, Grandpa is planning something big in his heart."
