Li Shimin, the king of Qin, defeated Song Jingang in a battle, and then killed Liu Wuzhou with Wang and Dou Jiande, and reoccupied most of Shanxi.

Sitting in Guanzhong, Longxi, Shanxi, plus Sichuan and Shu, which have just donated their soil, Li Tang is now the third exclusive in the world, and more importantly, he still occupies an area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack with dangerous fortresses.

And the relevant Zhong and Bashu are in hand, the food and salary are sufficient, and they already have the foundation of dominating the world.

In the world, whether it is Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande or Jiangnan Du Fuwei, they have no advantage in the face of Li Tang.

The newly-born Li Tang Dynasty was in danger, and Li Yuan, who almost became the king of Guanzhong, was overjoyed after receiving the good news, praised Li Shimin, and began to reward him lavishly.

Li Yuan's rewards and punishments are not very clear, and he is a very double standard, even if it is a reward for merit. If you have a good background and have a good relationship with him, you will be rewarded more, and if you have a bad background, you will be rewarded less. But on the whole, the face is passable.

Li Shimin's army returned to Guanzhong, and the entire Guanzhong was boiling, and the wealthy families of the scholars from all over the country cheered for it, donated all kinds of materials to labor the army, and the people everywhere welcomed it.

Li Yuan sent an envoy and the crown prince Li Jiancheng thirty miles out of the city to greet him, and rewarded him and his generals and soldiers.

The entire army roared with a tsunami and cheered for Li Shimin. Seeing that the forbidden army supported Li Shimin so much, even more enthusiastic than the emperor, Li Jiancheng was also slightly jealous in his heart.

But soon Li Shimin stepped forward and saluted, facing the angel and his brother without any pride, which also made Li Jiancheng feel relieved again.

This time, Li Shimin received a large number of rewards, including Situ, one of the three dukes, Shangshuling, Daxingtai Shangshuling, Yongzhou Mu, and General Wuwei of the left and right, and at the same time increased the number of households. It seems that the official position is very high, but the real power has not increased much.

For example, Situ, one of the three dukes, although his status is respected, has long been turned into a false title, and he basically has no rights.

The same is true of Yongzhou Mu and Yongzhou Mu, the left and right Wuwei generals are leading the soldiers and horses, as for the Taishang Shangshu Order in Eastern Shaanxi, it seems that the official position is very large, and all the military and political affairs in Eastern Shaanxi are under his control, but in fact, the Taishang Shuling of the Daxing Taishang Shuling in Eastern Shaanxi cannot manage people at all.

Shaanxi Dongdao is not yet in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and to give this official position, Li Shimin still needs to fight it himself. Of course, this is also to show that Datang is going to do something to Wang Shichong.

The grand and enthusiastic entrance ceremony reached its peak when Li Shimin entered Chang'an. Countless people stretched their necks to take a look at the young Tang Dynasty's victorious general, the supreme commander.

Li Shimin walked into Chang'an City amid the cheers of the people of Chang'an, and then entered the palace all the way.

Singing and dancing, drums and laughter continued, civil and military officials were also jubilant, taking turns to toast, and Li Shimin became the protagonist of the banquet.

Officials at all levels toasted him one after another, and a large number of generals who had been rewarded for their meritorious service gathered around him. On the contrary, the King of Qi next to him was surrounded by a lot of men, except for a few of his subordinate officials, there was no one.

The more glorious Li Shimin is, the more he looks like a clown. He felt like everyone at the banquet was watching his jokes. Li Yuanji could only keep drinking alcohol, but the more he drank, the more bored he became, so he simply left the celebration banquet.

Seeing King Qi leaving, his subordinate officials did not dare to slack off, one followed, and the other hurriedly went to find the prince. King Qi left without permission, if Li Yuan knew about it, he would definitely be reprimanded. Now I can only ask the prince to come forward and pull it back.

Li Jiancheng learned that Li Yuanji had left, so he hurriedly got up to look for it, and soon found Li Yuanji who was about to leave outside the hall.

Seeing Li Yuanji's appearance, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but reprimand: "Fourth brother, today is the triumphant return of the second brother, my Tang Dynasty is a happy day, hurry up and go back with me!" ”

Li Yuanji was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, I'm not unhappy about losing face for myself, but for you!" ”

"You are the eldest brother and the prince, but look at today's scene, those who don't know still think that he Li Shimin is the prince!"

It can only be said that some people compete for power and profit, and the skill of sowing discord is a bloodline talent, which is born with it, Li Yuanji said on the surface that he didn't care, but every sentence was saying that the second brother threatened the eldest brother's position as the crown prince.

There is only one crown prince, and the contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng is irreconcilable.

"Shut up!" Li Jiancheng's face changed, and he directly reprimanded: "Shimin won Shanxi for the Tang Dynasty this time, it is a great achievement, and it is appropriate to get some preferential treatment." ”

"I'm all brothers, don't say these words anymore in the future, okay, go back with me, and I'll salute Your Majesty later." Li Jiancheng recovered quickly, and on the surface, he didn't seem to take these words to heart, but in fact, how could he not care?

You must know that it is the prince of a country, the position of the prince!

The sound of rewards in the main hall has been continuous, Li Yuan rewarded everyone, killed Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, and recaptured Shanxi, which made Li Yuan very happy, coupled with the annexation of Bashu, Li Yuan felt that he was not far from dominating the world.

After the Huai'an Wang family, Wang Xuanze and others discussed, especially Wang Xuanjing, praised Li Shimin, so Wang Xuanze decided that the Wang family supported Li Shimin.

Yes, the Wang family supported Li Shimin, not Li Yuan, and after several discussions, everyone in the Wang family felt that Li Shimin was more suitable to be the emperor.

It's not that the hidden dangers in Li Tang's forces can't be solved, Li Shimin is not the prince, so let him become the prince.

As for the current crown prince Li Jiancheng, there is a way to solve it when the time comes, just let him 'die of illness', or support Li Shi's militia mutiny.

If Li Shimin is unwilling to mutiny or fight for the throne, in Wang's view, even if he himself does not want to fight, the officials and generals who follow Li Shimin will push him to fight.

Although Li Jiancheng's ability to handle government affairs is good, he has the same problem with his father Li Yuan, he likes nepotism and is not broad-minded enough.

Even if he doesn't compete for the crown prince, he can't tolerate Li Shimin, who has great achievements in war and is powerful in the court, and he will also not trust those generals and ministers under Li Shimin.

Those ministers and generals were born and died, and the rest of their lives were in order to obtain high-ranking officials, seal their wives and sons, and leave their names in history, and they would push Li Shimin to this step.

Wang Xuanze doesn't look down on Li Yuan, but he is very satisfied with Li Shimin, now that the general trend of the world has gradually become clear, he naturally knows what to do.

Immediately, Wang Xuanze ordered Wang Xuanjing to lead 3,000 Lin Wei to prepare a detour to Chang'an and defect to Li Shimin.
