Chapter 18: Li Yuan Makes Trouble! Li Shimin's self-confidence
Li Shimin was shocked and hurriedly went out to bow down.
"Qi Qi Father, Yang Wengan is not afraid of his sons, but afraid of his father and the king of the Tang Dynasty."
He said respectfully,
"The hearts of the people in the world are towards Tang, and when the people along the way heard that Wang Shi was coming, they all welcomed him with pot pulp, and the rebels saw Wang Shi, and naturally they also heard the wind and surrendered."
"Yang Wengan knew that he was unpopular, and even his subordinates had defected, so he was naturally extremely frightened, and in this case, it was reasonable for him to choose to cut himself."
"Therefore, the sons are just taking advantage of the prestige of their father to fight a round of good luck, if it is said that there is merit, it is also the merit of the father, and the sons will never dare to be greedy for the merits of the sky!"
After saying that, he couldn't hold it anymore.
This gesture can be described as extremely humble, so that people can't find the slightest fault.
Even Li Yuan, who had the intention of finding fault, his expression was slightly softened at the moment.
I don't care about anything else, just this compliment, it's very good to hear.
"Well, I am very relieved that you can think like this, and it also shows that you are really mature."
Li Yuan said in a deep voice,
"I inherit the mandate of heaven, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, wherever the king goes, the enemy army will be defeated! This time, nature is no exception. β
"However, you still have merit after all."
Listening to the bastard words that came out of his father's mouth, Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Because of the destiny of heaven, the enemy army was automatically defeated?
With my sword mountain and sea of fire, the kills between life and death are all fake?
Why didn't I see that as soon as I arrived, the enemy army was directly defeated?
If that's the case, why don't you give it a try?
At this moment, he somewhat understands the depressed generals in history.
The great exploits were erased lightly.
Any military general who fought to the death on the battlefield heard the emperor say this, and he was afraid that he would be cold!
"Tell me, what do you want me to reward you?"
Li Yuan took out a letter at random, glanced at it casually, and said casually.
Li Shimin shook his head.
"This is a matter for the sons and ministers, and there is no need for the father's reward."
He said,
"The son said that if you want to talk about the merit, this is also the credit of your father, how dare the son ask for a reward if he has no merit?"
Li Yuan closed the chapter and smiled.
"Do you really think so? If I really don't reward you, won't you feel unjust in your heart? β
He looked at his own Erlang and asked.
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Naturally not!" He said without hesitation.
Although he was quite angry with his father's previous words, to be honest, he really didn't care about Ping Yangwen's contribution to this little thing.
"Huh...... You won't, but someone is upset for you! β
Li Yuanpi didn't smile,
"I have heard in recent days that some people in the Tiance Mansion are quite dissatisfied with me, and they have repeatedly fought for you!"
"You know what's going on?"
Li Shimin was stunned again, but at the same time, an ominous premonition also rose in his heart.
"Who?"
He said blankly,
"Erchen doesn't know!"
"You really don't know?" Li Yuan's face turned cold and asked again.
"I really don't know!"
Li Shimin's face was anxious, and he said,
"Please make it clear to my father!"
Li Yuan snorted coldly and stood up from the dragon chair.
"Since you want me to show it explicitly, I will show it to you!"
He beckoned,
"Bring people in!"
At the sound of an order, the eunuch led a man in cloth to walk in.
I saw that the man lowered his head, especially didn't dare to look at Li Shimin, and he looked weak.
"This is your servant in the Heavenly Ce Mansion!"
Li Yuan said coldly,
"It was he who denounced that someone in your Tiance Mansion criticized the court and slandered the emperor!"
He pointed to the cloth-clothed little man and ordered:
"Come on! Tell me what you have reported, and let King Qin listen to it! β
That little guy was ordered by the emperor, and suddenly the two trembled, where did he dare not obey?
I only heard him tremble in his voice:
"Slave maid...... The slave maid was working in the Tiance Mansion a few days ago, and happened to hear the soldier Cao joining the army and Lord Du Yan talking. β
"The slave didn't want to eavesdrop, but in a trance, she seemed to hear the words "Emperor", "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, etc., and there seemed to be some resentment between the words, and the slave and maid were frightened, so they listened to the whole ......"
The ministers were shocked.
This is the rhythm of bursting a big melon!
The key is to break out at the court meeting, rather than solve it privately?
Could it be ...... The emperor is going to take the king of Qin?!
Can...... Why is that? Isn't it the prince who is implicated in the rebellion?
For a time, the ministers had all kinds of thoughts and speculations......
And Li Jiancheng, who was on the steps, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at this moment, and glanced at Li Shimin with some pleasure.
Really!
Second brother, second brother, you didn't expect that the target of your father's final attack was you, right?
Your life and death are here!
Enjoy!
At this moment, Li Shimin, who was in the center of the storm, heard the name "Du Yan", and his nervous expression relaxed a little.
There was only one sentence in his mindβ
Drown one person, and everyone will be safe!
As long as he resolutely abandons Du Yan's chess piece, he will be safe and sound, and there will be no mistakes.
It's this kind of self-confidence that is fascinating!
And the source of self-confidence is, of course, because of the clever calculation of Mr. Xu Fenglei, a poor man.
Since he can even calculate this step, he will definitely be able to calculate it accurately!
"Tell me everything you've heard." Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, who was hanging his head, and said softly.
"Yes."
The cloth-clothed guy lowered his head and said,
Du Yan seemed to be very dissatisfied with His Majesty, and said, what to say...... The emperor was mediocre and only knew how to enjoy himself in Chang'an; Nepotism, only promoting those close to him, but being stingy with rewards to those who are truly meritorious. β
"So that the government is chaotic and corruption is rampant! It's really not a wise man! β
Li Yuan's face changed suddenly!
The little guy continued:
He added...... King Qin has made great achievements in war, and he has conquered most of the Tang Dynasty, but he can't be the prince, which is really unfair! With the talents of King Qin, he is fully qualified for the position of crown prince, and even, even ......"
Li Yuan's face completely darkened.
"Or even what?" He asked.
"The slave doesn't dare to say ......," the little guy cowered.
"Say!" Li Yuan almost roared.
"Even the administration is more than enough! Therefore, he felt unjust in his heart for His Royal Highness King Qin! β
Under the questioning, the little guy finally gave it all out.
And these words were indeed earth-shattering, and they frightened the ministers with wide eyes!
Groove ...... That's too much to say, right?
Don't want your head anymore?!
But while some of the ministers looked surprised, their admiration for Du Yan also arose.
Good!
, that's a good point!
The emperor is nepotism, and he has repeatedly rewarded Pei Lin and others, who have no merit, and has been added to the knighthood, but he is stingy in rewarding meritorious heroes!
He is greedy for pleasure, but he is not so concerned about the rule of officials and the government, so that all kinds of chaos appear!
Although Du Yan's words are rebellious, they are true!
Of course, while enjoying themselves, they also sweated for Li Shimin.
Looking at the emperor's iron-blue face, you can know that His Royal Highness King Qin is afraid that he is going to suffer a lot......
