Li Jiancheng was silent.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Completed, you don't speak, but why didn't you punish the people of the world?" ”

“…… Erchen didn't dare. Li Jiancheng denied it on his lips, and he had already cursed in his heart.

Isn't that knowingly asking, old fellow?

Li Yuan smiled and continued: "Back then, our Jinyang army, its momentum was very small, thanks to the people of the world leading the troops to fight, rich experience, this was able to take one city after another, until the capture of Chang'an. ”

"I once promised that in the future, after the country is conquered, I will give half of it to the people of the world......"

"Therefore, it is normal for the people of the world to have some intentions for the crown prince now, after all, I owe him."

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he exhaled and said: "The matter has come to this point, the son understands it, and asks his father to abolish the position of the prince of the son and make the people of the world the crown prince!" ”

Li Yuan shook his head speechlessly and said, "Built, built, why has your temper become so impatient now?" ”

"In the past, you may have been a little arrogant, but your personality is quite calm!"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng was a little angry: "If Erchen remains calm, in case Shimin makes any radical moves next time, Erchen can't guarantee that he will survive like this time!" ”

This time, it was Li Yuan's turn to be silent.

My own son, I understand that this assassination will not succeed, and it is difficult to guarantee that I will not be assassinated next time......

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Hey, it's built, it's not that I refuse to punish the people." ”

"He wants to kill his brother, even if he has done a lot of credit, it will be difficult to atone for his sins."

"It's just that now he is in charge of most of the military power, and he has the support of the Longxi family represented by the eldest grandson Wuji, so I can't move him."

"Once he is moved, Longxi is bound to be in chaos, and we are afraid that we will not be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an."

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized.

The army is not the army, not the army for the time being.

In ancient times, if the emperor wanted to sit firmly in his position, he first had to win over those gate valve families.

Those gate valve families are deep-rooted, and the world is chaotic, it is all up to them.

Unfortunately, because of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, those Longxi Guanzhong families basically all sided with Li Shimin.

With Li Yuan's current imperial power, it is very unrealistic to want to go head-to-head with those big families.

What's more, most of the military power is still in the hands of Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng, who understood this, immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Father, it was the son who misunderstood you." ”

Li Yuan patted Li Jiancheng on the shoulder and said, "Jiancheng, although I owe Shimin the position of a prince because of my military exploits, your mother specially instructed me before she died, so that I should not abolish the elder and the young." ”

"So, I still want you to be the prince."

"Therefore, you must win this expedition against Wang Shichong, so that I can also divide part of the military power with you."

"At that time, even if the people of the world have the support of those big families, the military power in their hands will not be enough to cause chaos, and your crown prince position will definitely be stable."

Li Jiancheng half-knelt down and said respectfully: "Erchen knows, Erchen will definitely not disappoint his father!" ”

On the other side, the palace of the king of Qin.

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, looking extremely irritable.

Although his father spared himself, the assassination failed after all.

In front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, whether it is literary or martial, the elder brother is better than him, and his reputation has plummeted a lot.

"Mowgli, what do you think we should do next?" Li Shimin rubbed his forehead and asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Thousands of calculations, I didn't count that there is also an archery master by the prince's side, which is a bit difficult to do." ”

Xu Maogong, who was on the side, even spoke: "Although Your Majesty did not punish King Qin this time, it is because King Qin has the support of many families in Longxi behind him. ”

"But Your Majesty already knows that King Qin wants to treat the prince badly, and from now on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close to King Qin again."

Li Shimin clenched his fists: "Father, I have never really been close to Lonely. ”

Until now, Li Shimin vaguely remembers the promise given to him by his father when Taiyuan Jinyang raised troops.

"Shimin, after taking Chang'an, this Nuo Dachang'an, you and I are half and a half."

At that time, Li Shimin naively thought that as long as he could take Chang'an, his father would make himself the crown prince.

Therefore, every time he fights, he will desperately move forward, and he will attack the city like a desperate one.

After conquering one city after another, until he took Chang'an, Li Shimin thought that his good days had come.

The result?

After his father ascended the throne, in line with the principle of establishing the elder and not the young, he turned to his eldest brother as the crown prince, and only named himself a little King of Qin.

Since then, Li Shimin has been holding his breath in his heart.

It's just that he hasn't been hiding.

Because he knows very well that his eldest brother is not as good as himself, he is the real expectation, and the position of the prince will be his own sooner or later.

But now it's different.

His eldest brother has both literature and martial arts under his command, and his reputation is afraid that he will soon surpass him.

When the time comes, there will really be nothing left.

Li Shimin, who is ambitious, can't stand this.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "Duke Mao, let's not talk about His Majesty's attitude towards King Qin, let's just say that the crown prince is about to go to crusade against Wang Shichong." ”

"Tell me, how are we going to deal with it?"

Xu Maogong shook his fan and said: "The prince's crusade against Wang Shichong may also be a good thing. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was surprised: "Good thing? Mao Gong, you're not kidding, are you? ”

"Naturally, no." Xu Maogong shook his head in denial and said,

"His Royal Highness King Qin, Mr. Changsun, you might as well think about it, that Luoyang Wang Shichong has now ascended the throne, and there are more fierce generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Luo Cheng under his command."

"Although the prince is now said to be both civil and military, it is true that he wants to deal with Wang Shichong, and the two tigers are fighting, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer."

"And ......"

Seeing that Xu Maogong said that he didn't say anything, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little anxious: "Maogong, when it's like this, you don't want to sell Guanzi anymore!" ”

Xu Maogong smiled and said, "Lord Eldest Sun, don't worry, listen to what you have to say." ”

"Moreover, now the King of Qin is in charge of most of the army."

"As long as the King of Qin gives an order, it is unknown whether the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be willing to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the expedition......"

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately laughed with satisfaction: "Haha, what Mr. Mao Gong said is very lonely. ”

"Then do everything according to Mr. Mao Gong's words!"

Xu Maogong arched his hand slightly and said, "Thank you King Qin." ”

……

Prince's Mansion, inside the bedroom.

After some passion, Tortoisehead fell limply into Li Jiancheng's arms.

"I didn't expect the prince to finish the formation with King Qin today, and he was so powerful, the concubine really couldn't stand it, spare your life, Your Highness......" Lying in Li Jiancheng's arms, Ji Ji said shyly.

On those charming cheeks, there is full of satisfaction......
