Chapter Thirty-Nine: Killing Each Other

Although there are concubines in the harem, the eldest grandson's actions can't decide anything. The most eye-catching thing about King Qin is still his military exploits, and Li Jiancheng's group is still afraid of Li Shimin's great military exploits.

All Li Jiancheng's subordinates, including Li Zhenghang, still pointed the finger at Li Shimin's power: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince, except for the emperor, no one in this world should be above you in any aspect!" ”

Since the defeat of the last army, although Li Yuan has tried his best to maintain face, Li Jiancheng, as the crown prince, can only sit in Beijing and stay in Chang'an to help deal with government affairs. Compared with King Qin, this made Li Jiancheng Group extremely worried.

Facing the worried Li Jiancheng, Gao Junming had a plan: "Your Highness, why don't we bring Yuanji over?" ”

"He? Weak! ”

Gao Junming tried to change Li Jiancheng's thinking, and then said: "Your Highness, don't forget, Yuanji is the prince, and the three brothers each have heavy troops, and Li Yuanji is afraid that he also has the heart to seize the throne, and the power of King Qi should not be underestimated." If he can be co-opted, the king of Qin will definitely be seriously threatened. It is expected that King Qin may also want to win Li Yuanji's support, so we might as well strike first. ”

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, "This matter-" he paused, "You can do it." ”

Because Li Yuanji believed that mastering military power was a magic weapon to win the succession, and Li Zhenghang held military power. Therefore, persuading Li Yuanji to join Li Jiancheng's team has become the task of Gao Junming and Li Zhenghang, and Gao Junming must discuss with Li Zhenghang how to persuade Li Yuanji.

When Gao Junming came to the Li Mansion to talk about business, he would naturally be invited to the study. As soon as he saw Li Zhenghang's simple greetings, he got straight to the point: "The foolish brother has discussed with the prince and won Li Yuanji's support, so the burden of convincing him falls on you and me." ”

Li Zhenghang's eyes swept with disdain: "Hmph! Lee Won-gil's bastard! ”

Gao Junming knew that Li Zhenghang didn't appreciate Li Yuanji, and he wasn't too surprised when he heard this, but his voice sounded a little annoyed: "Lord Li, you speak quietly, if you talk like this, not only the lives of the people who say it are worried, but even the people who listen are in crisis." No matter how mixed the King of Qi is, he is also a prince, and he also has heavy troops. The crown prince and the king of Qin seized the throne, and it would be great if they could win the support of the king of Qi. ”

Li Zhenghang kept sipping tea, and only after a while did he say: "Does Lord Gao know what King Qi thinks in his heart, and conclude that he has no intention of seizing the throne?" ”

"It doesn't hurt if he has the heart to seize the throne."

Li Zhenghang disagreed with his opinion: "How can it be okay? If the King of Qi has the heart to seize the throne, how can he join the prince group to strengthen the prince's power? What's in it for him. makes the prince's power infinitely stronger, and how will he get out in the future. It is better to watch the prince fight with the king of Qin with a cold eye, and he will reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Gao Junming believes that what Li Zhenghang said is not unreasonable: "Even if he has the intention of seizing the throne, we must not let him destroy this heart." We can explain the current situation to him from another angle: First, Li Jiancheng himself is the crown prince, and the emperor favors the East Palace. Second, he has always advocated force, and you have the power to control the army, and you can mobilize thousands of troops as soon as the tiger talisman comes out. Third, Li Shimin strictly enforces the law, and everything Li Yuanji does is not in his eyes. If Li Shimin ascends the throne, he may not have a good life. ”

"Li Yuanji won't not understand these truths that the virtuous brother said, but I'm afraid that he has other ideas." Li Zhenghang was silent for a moment, "Since the prince has given the task, we have no second way to go except to complete it at all costs." ”

However, when they worked together to persuade Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji was not moved by these interests and situations. He knew it was time to make his own choice. Li Zhenghang's guess was right, his calculation was that the snipe and the clam competed, and the fisherman profited. Rely on the eldest brother first, and after getting rid of Li Shimin, a powerful opponent, his resistance will be much smaller. "Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself." The power of the crown prince will inevitably be weakened as well.

From this time on, Li Yuanji officially joined the prince's camp in name.

The king of Qi has been attached to the crown prince, which is the content of Gao Junming's secret letter revealed to Li Shimin. After Li Shimin got the news, he naturally thought about eradicating Li Jiancheng's henchmen, and making friends with other important ministers to expand his sphere of influence, especially the development of his own private armed forces.

In the blink of an eye, it will be spring again.

The cold of the cold winter night can't stop the warmth of the coming spring. The weather is warmer and everything is recovering. After a drizzle, the fragrance of the land comes to the nostrils, giving birth to the growth of all things. Flowers are in full bloom, and all kinds of flowers compete for beauty.

Wanning likes pear blossoms the most, the color of the flowers is white, a touch of white, white but "sad but not sad", with a faint fragrance, and like snowflakes, generously covering all the filth in this world. Li Zhenghang bought a large piece of land behind the house, and planted a large pear orchard on this land with his family and Gao Junming's family.

Since then, this pear orchard has become a happy garden for the two little ones, Wanning and Ziang. He often watered the pear trees himself, and under the careful care of the two families, the pear trees grew more and more lush year by year. The two children, Wanning and Ziang, are also growing stronger and stronger like little saplings, and they are becoming more and more governors.

Not only children, but also adults often come to the pear orchard. As soon as I stepped into the pear orchard, I felt a sense of relaxation and joy, and all the tiredness and struggles disappeared at once. Gradually, however, the tension between the DPRK and China grew, and adults almost forgot that there was such a paradise.

In recent years, the summer in Chang'an City has been much hotter than in earlier years. As Li Yuan grew older, his physique also deteriorated. This summer has been particularly sad, with overwhelming heat and unbearable heat. The sky was blue, and the sun hung in the air like a fireball, without a hint of wind. Waves of heat hit the face, making people breathless.

His father couldn't stand the heat the most, so Li Shimin suggested that his father go outside to escape the heat. In order to get rid of the heat, Li Yuan decided to go to Renzhi Palace in Yijun County, and ordered Li Shimin and Li Yuanji to follow, and Li Jiancheng naturally continued to stay in Beijing.

Li Shimin's going out is the best time to get rid of him. Li Yuanji had murderous intentions towards Li Shimin, he knew that Li Jiancheng was assisted by the top masters in the rivers and lakes, so he came up with an idea to solve Li Shimin outside: "Big brother, now is the time for the killer group to exert its might." "The killer group that Li Yuanji said is the Jianghu force led by Black Eagle hidden in Guiningzhuang.

However, Li Jiancheng did not want to kill Li Shimin, and if the assassination failed, he would find an excuse for Li Shimin to openly confront him. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng was extremely calm in this matter, because Li Shimin was also waiting for Li Jiancheng to make the first move.

Once each other has murderous intentions, a war of death between you and me is about to break out.

The prince clique not only thinks that this is the best time to kill Li Shimin, but some aides even think that they can make their dreams bigger - rebellion. The soldiers and horses in the East Palace are ready, and the departure of Li Yuan and Li Shimin is the best time. Therefore, Li Jiancheng gradually lost in such agitation.

As soon as the emperor left, Li Jiancheng could no longer hold back, and discussed with Li Zhenghang, Gao Junming and a series of his subordinates to rebel. He didn't know that what he had done was already under the surveillance of the Qin Palace.

Those whose feathers are not plump cannot fly high. This made Gao Junming look down on him very much, so impatient, this is not the time to rebel at all. The timing comes too easily, and there is often its danger. Even though many people knew this, they didn't stop it.

Gao Junming still echoed Li Jiancheng's rebellion. Although Li Shimin did not have a clear instruction, Gao Junming knew that this move would definitely be in line with Li Shimin's wishes.
