Li Shimin never believed in ghosts and gods, he only believed in what he saw with his own eyes.

Those rumors were nothing more than a pre-mutiny tactic he had.

At this time, Li Yuan was also thinking about whether to prepare for the relocation of the capital.

Speaking of which, Li Yuan's reason for moving the capital is actually quite simple.

The ethnic minorities in the north have always been the henchmen of the Central Plains Dynasty, so it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to guard against the invasion of ethnic minorities every year.

So a wise man wrote to Li Yuan and said: "The reason why the Turks have been invading south is because our population and wealth are in Chang'an. ”

"The Turks invaded the south too easily, and the gains were great, so the problem of border passes will not be solved."

"In that case, it is better to burn the city of Chang'an and move the population and wealth to other places, so that there will be no goal, and the Turks will no longer invade south."

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were very much in favor of this suggestion.

This suggestion seems to be very brain-dead, and it seems that the people who support this decision are stupid.

But looking at where these people are sitting in their butts, it's not hard to understand why these people would support such a brain-dead decision.

Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, the father and son added a piece, and when it came to fighting, even Li Shimin's hair was not as good as that.

To put it bluntly, if Li Shimin was not here, it would be impossible for them to win the throne of this world!

It's just that Li Shimin's prestige is getting bigger and bigger, so big that everyone is uneasy.

Even Li Yuan was uneasy, for fear that one day he would not be able to sit firmly in this position.

In this case, from the perspective of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, it is naturally not an incomprehensible thing to make this kind of decision.

If the capital is moved, there is no need to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, then Li Shimin's military power in his hands can be deprived of it openly.

In this way, all three of them, father and son, can sleep peacefully.

Li Shimin certainly will not allow this to happen.

Therefore, when Li Yuan sent people to Fanzhou and Dengzhou to inspect the places where they could live and prepare to move the capital, Li Shimin decisively wrote a letter rejecting the decision to move the capital.

"The invasion of northerners has been continuous since ancient times, and my father has the world and millions of elite soldiers, how can he be afraid of the invasion of that ethnic minority?"

"If you are afraid to move the capital just because of the invasion, won't it humiliate the whole country of Datang? Isn't this a shame for future generations for no reason? ”

"Throughout the history of the world, only Liu Chen was forced to move the capital, and that person is said to have been punished by God and died violently, does my father also want to be such a person?"

Li Shimin said this politely, and he didn't save face for his father at all.

The contradictions between them have basically been made public a long time ago, so Li Shimin actually doesn't care much about the details and etiquette.

Rather, he needs a chance now to make himself rebel.

If Li Yuan did something irrational, it would be the best time for Li Shimin to get up.

Of course, Li Shimin will not be so obvious.

So he pretended to be indignant and continued: "Wei Qinghuo is just a military general of the Han Dynasty, and he can still say that the Huns have not been destroyed, why is he home." ”

"As the vassal king of the Tang Dynasty, can't I do this?"

"I beg my father to give me a few years, and then my son will definitely put a rope around the neck of Najieli Khan and dedicate it to my father!"

"If it doesn't succeed by then, it's not too late to move the capital!"

Li Shimin's words were very tactful, and he seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but in fact, the meaning revealed in and out of his words was also very simple.

It's not that he doesn't support moving the capital, but he doesn't support moving the capital now.

If you run away without even fighting, wouldn't it make the world laugh for no reason?

When the time comes, if we really can't beat it, there will be no shame in moving the capital again.

So it's not that he is unwilling to hand over the military power in his hands, but now is not the time.

When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately replied: "Well said! ”

But in fact, he could only reluctantly agree with Li Shimin's statement.

Li Yuan didn't dare to push Li Shimin too hard.

Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan knew that he was anti-minded, and Li Yuan also knew that Li Shimin knew that he knew that Li Shimin was anti-minded.

But both sides pretended not to know, hello, hello, hello, everyone, and just maintained the superficial peace.

As for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, they seem to be fighting for their own interests, but in fact they are just tools used by Li Yuan to restrict Li Shimin.

If these two guys were not in front of them as targets to attract firepower for themselves, then it would not be Li Shimin and his brother who would have contradictions, but Li Shimin and his father!

So many times, Li Yuan plays just a referee.

He sat on a high platform and watched the fight of those below him to protect himself.

Seeing that the planned miscarriage was planned, Li Jiancheng was not happy.

"At the beginning, Fan Xu's kid also said that he could gallop among the Huns with an army of 100,000, but what was the result?"

Li Jiancheng said without yin or yang: "Could it be that King Qin is the same as Fan Xu's kid, and he is just bragging?" ”

Li Shimin was very disdainful, snorted coldly, and took a sip lightly.

"What is there to praise about that kid, my method of using soldiers is very different from his, so naturally it is not the same."

"In less than ten years, I will definitely pacify Mobei, this is not a lie!"

Li Shimin said loudly: "I am willing to make a military order!" ”

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Yuan finally relented and decided not to talk about moving the capital anymore.

But Li Jiancheng is still unwilling to give up.

"Although the Turks invaded south, they only needed to get money and leave, while the King of Qin was pretending to oversee the military power in the name of resisting the Turks, but in fact it was just paving the way for him to usurp the throne!"

It can be said that in order to move to Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng has done whatever it takes.

Even if it was ridiculous to say it, he had to say it.

From his standpoint, it was a matter of course for him to say so.

Li Yuan is not completely confused, so naturally he will not believe Li Jiancheng's words.

In other words, he was unwilling and could not believe what Li Jiancheng said.

Everyone can see that Li Shimin is unwilling to let go of the military power only by grasping the military power, and it is clear that he will not sit idly by.

Many times, when he handed over the military power, he only retreated to advance, proving that the military power was not in his hands.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin do have contradictions, but now it is more important to guard against the invasion of the Turks.

If Li Shimin is really taken down, I am afraid that no one will be able to deal with the Turks anymore.

Maybe the whole world will be gone.

Li Yuan still has a clear sense of priority.

Something like this is just a microcosm of the confrontation between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

Everyone knows that the longer Li Shimin holds military power, the higher his prestige will be, and the more difficult it will be to do anything against him at that time.

If it drags on like this, sooner or later a big problem will happen.

But now everyone has to rely on Li Shimin to guard against foreign enemies.

Now Li Yuan just wants Li Shimin to work, but he doesn't want to give him rights, but he has to give him rights to let him work.

And so things fell into an endless loop.

The confrontation and contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are essentially a pull between him and Li Yuan.

But is Li Jiancheng really that unbearable?

Not necessarily.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji still have good strength, otherwise the two sides would not have been pulling for so long.

If it is really as Li Shimin said, his prestige is extremely high, and his ascension to the throne is expected by everyone, then why did Li Yuan hesitate for so long?

is just an incompetent prince, if he says that he will be abolished, he will be abolished, and he will give it directly to Li Shimin, otherwise there will not be so many things

To put it bluntly, if the two sides can pull it all the time, it proves that the difference in strength between them is not very large.

And because of the prince's orthodox identity, Li Jiancheng even has a great advantage in some aspects.

When he dealt with Li Shimin, his methods were not very clever and brilliant, but he also felt that he was gradually encroaching on them step by step.

The strength of Li Shimin's subordinates has been slowly weakened by Li Jiancheng.

Otherwise, Li Shimin would never have launched a mutiny in such a hurry.

If you can win the throne without blood, who wouldn't want to do that?

It was precisely because he was driven to a dead end that Li Shimin was ready to launch a mutiny by surprise.

In the end, Li Jiancheng missed the chess and was defeated and died.

At the beginning, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the exploits of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng can basically be said to be half a catty.

Even though Li Shimin is better, he is not much better.

But after the founding of the country, the problem came.

Your crown prince must no longer be the same as before, risking his life, Li Jiancheng needs to plan state affairs in the imperial court.

At this time, Li Shimin continued to fight outside, and his prestige became higher and higher.

What's even more embarrassing is that without Li Jiancheng's credit for suppressing Li Shimin, other people in the army can't compare to Li Shimin at all.

Those who are not relatives of the emperor and the country cannot compete for credit for Li Shimin, they are relatives of the emperor and the country, and their strength is not as good as Li Shimin.

In addition, after Li Shimin was removed from the military power before, his successor did too badly, which made it basically impossible for Li Shimin's military power to be taken down.

Li Shimin has such an important military power in his hands, who else can Datang rely on if he doesn't rely on him for defense? Do you rely on those unarmed officials?

Therefore, Li Jiancheng decided to fight steadily and slowly encroach on the rights in Li Shimin's hands step by step.

He didn't want to be able to completely elevate Li Shimin overnight and become a useless King of Qin.

Anyway, the position of the crown prince belongs to him Li Jiancheng, and he only needs to wait patiently for Li Shimin to reveal his flaws.

Even if it was just a small flaw, he could start to weaken Li Shimin's strength again and again.

From the very beginning, Li Jiancheng was invincible.

But no one underestimated Li Shimin's determination to seize the throne.

Whether it is said that he was forced, or that he was originally opposed, in short, when Li Shimin made a decision, it no longer made any sense what the cause of the matter was.

From the moment he was ready to seize power, he would definitely not be less infamous.

He needs to prove himself with greater merit and a broader mind, and prove that it is destiny for him to be able to sit in this position!

Regardless of his own character, from the moment he began to prepare to seize power, if he wanted to sit firmly under his ass, he had to behave in a tolerant and generous manner, and show that he knew that people were good and holy!

Otherwise, no matter what, he would not be able to sit firmly in this position.

In history, there is another person who has a similar experience with him, that is, Zhu Di eight hundred years later.

They are all armed to seize power by mutiny, they are all grandiose in prestige, and they are all Ming monarchs after seizing the throne.

How similar are the two?

After leaving the palace, Li Shimin asked the statue to be well preserved, and he only needed to wait for the right time to take it out and raise troops!

But mutiny is not something that can be done by a few people.

Everyone is not stupid, whether it is Li Jiancheng or Li Yuan, they actually have their own defensive forces.

It is impossible for the army to enter this Chang'an City, and it is basically impossible for Li Shimin, the defense force in the palace and the East Palace, to intervene.

Therefore, Li Shimin's only breakthrough is to buy Li Yuan and the people around Li Jiancheng.

He doesn't need these people to turn to himself.

It only takes that when it comes to the moment, these people can turn a blind eye or be transferred elsewhere!

Li Shimin doesn't need these people to rush into the palace with him, at the critical moment, when these people are not there, the big thing can be decided.

And the first target that Li Shimin is eyeing is Li Jiancheng's close ministers.

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to use the reason of murdering Li Jiancheng to buy the other party.

Li Shimin won't even let the other party know that the person who bought him has something to do with him.

This entourage only needs to pass on some wrong information to Li Jiancheng at a critical time.

This misinformation can be raised in any way, even if it is just a little speculation, and even so, it is enough.

And just when Li Shimin was in full swing of the layout plan, Qin Tian also came to Chang'an City.

At this time, Chang'an City was not too prosperous.

Even compared to Tokyo 300 years ago, it is slightly inferior.

The reason for this is that what Qin Tian saw before his retreat was a capital city that had been governed in the hands of Zhuge Liang and was thriving, blooming with vitality, and had begun to reach its peak.

And now Datang is just getting started, and everything has just begun.

Along the way, Qin Tian already knew that it was the Wude period, that is, the reign of Tang Gaozu.

At this time, Li Shimin had not yet launched the Xuanwumen Change, and had not officially opened the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Many of those famous poets and famous artists have not yet been born.

This is a vibrant, high-spirited era.

Although most people don't notice this, and many people are still confused about the future, Qin Tian knows that in this world, one of the greatest pearls in human history, the Tang Dynasty is about to rise!

Qin Tian was looking forward to the people he met in this era.

In his hundreds of years of life, there were not many people Qin Tian was willing to befriend, and many of them were just some passers-by in his life.

Only in this era, Qin Tian has too many people who want to see it with his own eyes.

"Come on, let us witness the birth of a great empire with our own eyes."
