Chapter 301: A Sharp Turn

Guanyin got a reply from Wan Guifei and Yuwen Lingxin, and they had already told Li Yuan about Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Back at Hongyi Palace, Guanyin introduced the relevant situation in the palace to Li Shimin, and discussed with Li Shimin what to do next.

Li Shimin said calmly, "Don't worry, I don't know if Grandpa believes it or not, let's wait and see Grandpa's movements."

------

Li Yuan is the founding king, not a puppet emperor, and he also has his own deployment at this critical moment when the succession of the country and the society is critical.

Returning from Shujing Hall to Wanchun Palace, he first called Wang He, the inner chamberlain, and asked Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Yin Defei, and Zhang Jieyu about the four of them.

Wang He's answer is basically the same as what Wan Guifei and Yuwen Lingxin said.

Li Yuan instructed Wang He, "You send someone to quietly call Wang Hui, the head of the East Palace, and Shi Linlang, the head of the Qi Palace, respectively, I have something to ask them."

As the emperor, Li Yuan has eyeliner in the East Palace, the Qin Palace, and the Qi Palace, but he is afraid of arousing the suspicion of his sons, so he usually does not use it much, but now he has to play their role at a critical moment.

------

Li Yuan first asked the East Palace to change the rate to Wang Hui.

The rate of the East Palace is more than Cheng, the official is the seventh grade, and he is in charge of the implementation of the palace rules of the East Palace.

Therefore, Wang Hui is the leader of the East Palace, and he controls many little-known things in the East Palace. In order to please Wang Hui, some palace maids and eunuchs even took the initiative to tell him.

When Wang Hui saw Li Yuan, he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and told Li Yuan all the things that Li Jiancheng had to do with the officials of the DPRK and China under the pretext of Buddhism, and his private contact with Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu.

------

Li Yuan asked Shi Linlang, the head of the Qi Palace, again.

The history of the head of the Qi Palace, the official is the fourth grade, in charge of the discipline of the staff of the Qi Palace, and pays attention to the words and deeds of the staff of the Qi Palace.

Li Yuan inquired about the situation of Lin Lang's Qi Palace, because Lin Lang could not enter the back house of the Qi Palace, he did not know about the relationship between Li Yuanji and Yin Defei, but he knew the situation of the staff in the palace.

Lin Lang played Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had a close relationship, and they discussed big and small things together; Regarding the matter of attaching "Yuanji" to the word "Tang", Lin Lang also has some understanding.

Lin Lang secretly reported to Li Yuan that Xue Bao, the protector of the Qi Palace, had said to Li Yuanji, "The name of the king 'Yuanji' can be combined into a 'Tang' character, and he will return to the destiny of heaven and be the future lord of the Tang Dynasty."

------

Li Yuan asked Wang Hui and Lin Lang and explained to them that they should pay close attention to the movements of the East Palace and the Qi Palace's Mansion in the near future, and report to them in time if there is a situation.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan made a special move, successively summoned Li Jing stationed in Lingzhou, Li Shichang in Jinyang, and Qu Tutong in Luoyang into Beijing, and summoned the three of them separately.

After Li Jing, Li Shixian, and Qu Tutong were summoned by Li Yuan, they immediately returned to the town guard, and before leaving, they all secretly went to the Qin Palace, and expressed their attitude to Li Shimin: They are willing to serve the power of dogs and horses.

------

Seeing that by the end of May, Li Yuan's side still did not want to deal with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's movements.

At this time, Li Jiancheng secretly sent someone to send a cart of gold and silver to Duan Zhixuan to win over Duan Zhixuan. Duan Zhixuan, like Wei Chi Jingde, did not accept it, rejected Li Jiancheng's kindness, and reported the matter to Li Shimin.

After Cheng Zhijie was sent out to assassinate the history of Connecticut, he did not go to the post, he said to Li Shimin, "Unless Your Majesty kills Zhijie, Zhijie will not go to Connecticut to take office, and I hope His Royal Highness will make a decision as soon as possible and decide to get rid of the prince and the king of Qi."

In the palace of King Qin, Gao Jian, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, and Cheng Zhijie persuaded Li Shimin to get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji every day, but Li Shimin never made a decision, and completely lost the courage to make a decision on the battlefield.

------

On this day, Li Shimin returned to the Qinglu in the back garden from the front yard of Hongyi Palace, and he hugged Guanyin, "I can't stand it anymore, my uncle and the fourth brother are auxiliary, and Jingde They shout every day for me to get rid of the eldest brother and the fourth brother, and the noise makes my brain hurt."

Guanyin smiled gloatingly, "When you fought the world, Brother Shimin collected all these capable people under your account, and now I know that these people are not easy to manage. Brother Shimin took a look at Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to see how he dealt with those heroes who fought the world and made military exploits."

------

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin with some doubts, "Ah Wan asked Ah Brother to be like Han Gaozu, obedient to reuse, disobedient to kill?"

Guanyin's eyes showed a meaningful smile, "Han Gaozu did this, it depends on whether Brother Shimin has a better way than him."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Now that I have not become an emperor, I can't follow the example of Han Gaozu to kill heroes. If I can truly inherit the throne in the future, I will not fail them, and I will let them die one by one."

Guanyin said mysteriously, "Grandpa suppressed them, maybe he was helping you."

Li Shimin seemed to have an understanding, nodded slightly, and said, "Maybe." I still don't fully understand what Grandpa thinks in his heart."

------

At the end of May in a few days, Li Yuan not only did not dispose of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but the situation became more and more unfavorable to Li Shimin and the people of Qin Wangfu.

At this time, the son of the late Turkic Luo Khan, Yu Sheshe, led tens of thousands of cavalry to cross the Yellow River from Saibei to the south and besiege Wucheng north of Yulin.

The military situation was urgent, and Li Jiancheng suggested to Li Yuan that Li Yuanji replace Li Shimin to supervise the army in the north.

------

In the past, when encountering such a big war, Li Shimin led the troops to conscript.

This time, Li Jiancheng recommended Li Yuanji, which was obviously challenging Li Shimin's status in the DPRK and China, and also testing Li Yuan's trust in Li Shimin.

Let Li Yuanji lead his troops into battle to deal with tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry? It sounds a little unreliable.

------

Since the army of Jinyang, in the face of Liu Wuzhou's army, Li Yuanji abandoned the city in Jinyang and fled. Later, although he also participated in many large and small battles, he never led troops to deal with major battles alone.

In the event of a major war, Li Yuanjiduo served as Li Shimin's deputy to participate in the war with the army, and served as Li Jiancheng's deputy when fighting against the remnants of Liu Heimin.

Now, Li Jiancheng recommended Li Yuanji to deal with tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry, if Li Yuan was not confused, he would never agree.

But Li Yuan's decision was beyond everyone's expectations, he really agreed to let Li Yuanji lead the troops in command, and ordered Li Yuanji to supervise Li Yi, the general of the Right Military Guard, and Zhang Jin, the general of Tianji, to save Wucheng.

------

At this time, Wang Hui secretly reported to Li Yuan that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji discussed plotting to kill Li Shimin and Li Shimin's generals.

Li Jiancheng conspired with Li Yuanji, preparing to invite Li Yuan, let Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Shubao and others go out with Li Yuanji, and transfer elite men under the account of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to enrich Li Yuanji's army.

Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji, "If the fourth brother gets the second brother's elite soldiers and has tens of thousands of people, he will invite the grandfather for the elder brother and the second brother to eat for you in Kunming Pool." When the time comes, send a brave man to pull the second child into the tent and kill him, and then play Grandpa, saying that he died violently, and Grandpa has no reason not to believe it."

"After the incident, I instructed my brother to make a statement to Grandpa and hand over the military and political power to you. Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and other old and second-hand generals, when they come to your account, you will design to kill them all, and who will dare to disobey the rest?"

"When the elder brother inherits the throne, he will make the fourth brother the emperor's younger brother."

------

Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Shubao are all the best ministers under Li Shimin, and they are all great generals who have made great achievements in the creation of the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Yuan not know?

These people came to Li Yuanji's hands, if they were really killed by Li Yuanji, how could Li Yuan explain to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces?

Even if these people are not killed on the spot by Li Yuanji, they will go on the expedition with Li Yuanji, what if there is a discord between the generals and the commanders? Before the war with the Turks, the generals began to fight among themselves, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

------

Li Yuan knew that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji wanted to murder Li Shimin and Li Shimin's soldiers.

However, Li Yuan turned a blind eye to these, and he once again agreed to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's ill-intentioned requests; agreed that Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and others would go to war with Li Yuanji; It was agreed to transfer elite men under Li Shimin's account to enrich Li Yuanji's army.

Li Yuan is crazy? Li Yuan is stupid?

Li Yuan had just reached the age of sixty, and he had not yet reached the point of being dizzy and confused, how could he make such a stupid decision.

------

Although there is an old Chinese saying: if you are not stupid, you are not deaf, and you are not a family.

Li Yuan can turn a blind eye to the battle of his three sons.

But Li Yuan can't pretend to be deaf and dumb to such an extent, this is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of troops and the safety of the country.

------

With Li Yuan's permission, Li Yuanji began to transfer elite soldiers and strong generals from Li Shimin's account to prepare the army.

When the whole army arrives, they will take the oath to go on the march.

Although the staff and soldiers of the Qin Palace, although they did not know the plan of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, a discerning person knew at a glance that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's arrangement was uneasy and kind.

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Gao Jian, Eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie and others were anxious one by one.

------

On this day, Gao Jian, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Zhijie and others were anxious to persuade Li Shimin to hurry up in the Jiwu Hall of Hongyi Palace.

Li Shimin sighed angrily, "Since ancient times, it has been shameful for brothers to kill each other. I also knew that a catastrophe was imminent, and that the stakes were imminent. I want to wait until the crown prince and the king of Qi make the first move, and then take the opportunity to get rid of them, which can be regarded as a famous teacher, and it is easy to explain to the lord and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Isn't that okay?"

------

Wei Chi Jingde said to Li Shimin, "Who wants to die? Wei Chen and others sacrificed their lives to serve the king, this is God's arrangement. Now that a catastrophe is coming, and the king is still hesitant, even though the king despises life and death, how can he watch the temple and society be ruined?"

"If the king does not listen to Jingde's advice, Jingde will no longer be able to stay around the king to serve, and will have to flee in the deep mountains and grass, and will not be willing to be captured and killed."

------

The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin, "If the king does not listen to the words of Jingde, he will definitely be defeated. Jingde can no longer follow the king, and Wuji will also leave with Jingde, and can no longer be driven by the king."

Wei Chi Jingde continued to persuade, "The king is hesitant to do things now, it is unwise; If you don't make a decision in the face of difficulties, you are not brave.

Li Shimin saw that everyone was earnest, and said with a smile, "I haven't said that I won't do it, but I just said that I want to wait for a good opportunity, and you all shout to leave, isn't this forcing this king?" Don't rush to leave, we'll talk about it."

------

Li Shimin, Gao Jian, Eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde and others were discussing how to deal with it in the Jiwu Palace.

At this time, the palace gate guards came to report, and a green calf cart came to Hongyi Palace, and the people in the car took the ultimatum issued by the King of Qin, and did not get off when they arrived at the palace gate, so that the palace gate guards came to report to the King of Qin.

Gao Jian, Eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde and others couldn't help but be curious, I don't know who the mysterious person in this car is?
