Qin Wangfu study

The orchid fragrance is elegant, and the sandalwood is swirling

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, held a delicate teacup in one hand and a copy of Sima Qian's "Historical Records" in the other, but his mind involuntarily drifted to the previous few days......

On that day, the thrilling scene of himself and his third brother being poisoned by wine and being intercepted halfway resurfaced in front of me one by one. Li Shimin shook his head, no matter what, he never thought that a compatriot, the eldest brother and the fourth brother who grew up together would be so secretive to himself, during the banquet in the East Palace, he did not suspect him, he drank poisoned wine at that time, and then had a toxic attack on the way, abdominal pain was like a strangulation, vomiting blood, and he was intercepted by the man in black halfway, and almost died on the spot.

Returning to the "Historical Records" in my hand again, it describes a large number of historical facts of cannibalism and brotherhood in the past dynasties, and the admonitions of the ancients are still in my ears. Li Shimin closed the thick book of "Historical Records" and sighed: "Sima Gongcheng will not deceive me!"

The poisonous wine of the East Palace banquet did not poison Li Shimin, and Ximen's interception failed to kill King Qin and his party. The contradictions between the Qin Palace, the Prince's East Palace, and the Qi Palace's Mansion have become public.

In the past few days, the crown prince Li Jiancheng has been nervous and uneasy every day, and he is extremely worried about being retaliated against by the Qin Palace.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, the crown prince Li Jiancheng decided to strike first, so he and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, sued the wicked first, and went to the palace to meet his father, and sued the king of Qin.

Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan also knew that these brothers were not very harmonious, and he was also half-convinced when he heard this, in order to comfort the prince and the king of Qi, so he made a thin mud among his sons, and sat on the dragon chair with his beard Li Yuan stroked his beard and said: "I understand the character of the people. I'm afraid it wasn't his intention to disrespect the imperial court's order this time, I heard that his two staff members were speaking in front of King Qin from time to time, well, maybe these two people were making trouble. ”

"Quickly pass the decree, and Zhao Qin Wangfu Fang Xuanling and Du Ru will meet you. Speaking of which, Emperor Gaozu asked the eunuchs in the palace to immediately send an edict to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the staff of the Qin Palace, in front of the two sons of the crown prince and the king of Qi.

Suddenly, hearing that the emperor had summoned him personally, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were very puzzled, but they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the top of the Jinluan Palace.

"Are you Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui beside King Qin?" asked Emperor Gaozu.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is Fang Xuanling." "Weichen is Du Ruhui. ”

Emperor Gaozu brushed his beard and said: "I heard that the two of you once made a statement in front of the King of Qin, saying that the Northern Expedition Turks should not transfer your soldiers and horses from the Qin Palace, but is there such a thing?"

"This ......" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other.

Fang and Du were about to answer, but Gao Zu said: "The Turks are a great trouble for our henchmen since the founding of our dynasty, and the northern expedition to the Turks is the national policy of our dynasty to protect the territory and the people and maintain long-term peace and stability.

Hearing Emperor Gaozu's fierce blame, Fang and Du were busy picking up their robes and kneeling, at this time the two of them were bitter in their hearts, and they didn't justify, and if they didn't justify, they didn't.

When he was in a hurry, Gao Zu said: "Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, for the sake of the two of you who have assisted the King of Qin in conquering the north and the south and made many achievements, I will not be responsible for the two of you, but you should not do any more errands in the Qin Palace, and you don't have to go back to the Qin Palace." As he spoke, Gao Zu waved his hand and motioned for the two to stand down.

Seeing that the two of them were severely reprimanded by their fathers, the two of them were severely reprimanded by their fathers, and the Jinluan Palace was speechless, and then they both retreated gloomily, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji were overjoyed in their hearts, and said in their hearts, this time they finally broke the right hand of the King of Qin.

When he was proud, Gao Zu stroked his beard and said indifferently: "There is one more thing, but I have to say, Erlang Shimin is not strong enough to drink, you should not let him drink in the future, do you hear?"

"Yes, Father. I don't know where my father learned about the East Palace banquet, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji had a fever on their faces at the moment, and they hurriedly answered honestly.

The back garden of the Qin Palace

At this moment, he was holding his hands behind his back, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and sometimes sighed!

Seeing that King Qin was silent for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji broke the silence and said: "Now that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have been blamed by the emperor and have been idle at home, I don't know what the prince has planned?"

"Since Brother Wuji has this question, is there a good way to deal with it?" Li Shimin asked in turn. The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's eldest brother, so the eldest grandson Wuji is called Wuji brother here.

"Lord, at present, you and the crown prince and the king of Qi are incompatible, and now the emperor suddenly sees the blame on Fang and Du, it must be the prince and the king of Qi who instigated it, this is to cut off my Qin Wangfu's right-hand man! In the past few days, the king of Qi has pressed my Qin Wangfu with the emperor's order, and has repeatedly urged my Qin Wangfu to allocate most of the soldiers and horses to him King Qi, which is another plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle!"

"Lord, if you succumb to the command of the King of Qi, the hearts of all the soldiers will be chilled inside, and the soldiers of my Qin Palace's palace will be separated from morality and no longer loyal and brave; outside, you will lose all the military power of the King of Qin and fall into a situation of being slaughtered by others!

The eldest grandson Wuji's words directly touched a soft underbelly in the heart of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Hearing these heartfelt words, Li Shimin was quite moved, and a domineering heart buried in his heart was immediately triggered.

"Bang"!

Li Shimin hit the pillar in the pavilion with a heavy punch, and the entire pavilion couldn't help but shake, and some dust fell down.

"If this king is not a hammer, he will be an anvil beaten by others!" Li Shimin has made up his mind and is determined to fight the crown prince and the king of Qi to the end.

"Someone, quickly summon General Chi Gong to come!" Li Shimin ordered.

After a while, Wei Chigong arrived at the pavilion and bowed his fist to King Qin.

"General Wei Chi, you have to work hard, go to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's hometown as soon as possible, and recall the two of them quickly, just say that I have something important to discuss. King Qin instructed.

"Yes!" Wei Chigong took the order.

That night, Wei Chigong rushed back to the palace to report to the King of Qin.

"Lord Wang, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are reluctant to return home with the general, saying that the emperor has a strict order first, and the two of them dare not resist the order. Wei Chigong was a little frustrated.

"What?!" Li Shimin's face became grim.

After a little thought, Li Shimin made up his mind. At this time, the King of Qin had frost on his face, and immediately untied the saber he was carrying, which was also a command sword on behalf of the King of Qin in exercising power.

Solemnly handing the sword to Yu Chi Gong's hand, King Qin's expression was serious: "General Wei Chi, you go and summon the two of them back to the house, if they still don't come back, you can cut off the heads of the two of them and bring them back!" At this time, King Qin's words did not allow the slightest ambiguity.

"Obey!" Yu Chigong, who was draped all over his body and shining in golden armor, knelt down to accept the sword, immediately turned over and rode on a fast horse, and went again overnight.

It is rare to see the cold and iron-blooded side of King Qin today, the eldest grandson Wuji saw this scene next to him, but he secretly gave a thumbs up!

In the end, King Qin is still eloquent, decisive and responsible at critical moments, and his eldest grandson Wuji did not follow the wrong person.
