Chapter 252: Rumors (Fifth Update)
When Li Shimin heard that the two major strategists around him were criticizing his behavior, he was not angry, but immediately and sincerely admitted his mistakes; in this respect, Li Shimin was more than a step above Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji! It was a pity that he met Shi Fan, otherwise Kou Zhong alone would not necessarily be Li Shimin's opponent in terms of skill......
The generals and the strategists carefully discussed for a long time, and finally decided to be careful in the past few days, paying close attention to the clues in the palace......
At this time, Li Jing's army has gradually marched into Guanzhong, Luoyang is broken, Guanzhong is almost no danger to defend, all the way along the Guanzhong Plain, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan westward, outside the Chen Tong Pass, looking at Guanzhong!
Suddenly, when I heard that the Wu army was camped outside Tongguan, Chang'an was in chaos, rumors flew up, and rumors were everywhere......
Li Yuan in the palace has been even more hesitant these days, seeing that Wu Junbing is approaching the city, and it is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, Li Yuan is almost crazy......
In the past two days, Li Yuan has lived like a year, and sometimes he even has the idea of surrendering and ending up at ease, which shows that he is indeed in chaos......
And rumors are also spreading in the palace, this one said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has already reached a secret agreement with Wu Jun outside Luoyang City, and the south promises to be crowned as a king with a different surname after reunification!" The one who said, "The King of Qin returned safely, because of the agreement, he was able to miraculously escape from Shi Fan's men, and this time he came back, which was prepared as the internal response of the city gate!"
Someone else retorted: "Nonsense! His Royal Highness King Qin is the son of the Holy Lord, how could he do such a thing?"
Immediately, someone ridiculed each other again, "Who said it wouldn't? Anyway, King Qin can't become the prince anyway, let alone inherit the holy unification, both horizontal and vertical are crowned kings, why not simply cooperate inside and outside, and dedicate Chang'an City, compared to the ups and downs of Chang'an, although the prince of the south does not have absolute trust, at least he will not be attacked, right?"
"Nonsense, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has been fighting for the Tang Dynasty over the years, destroying Li Mi, breaking Wang Shichong, punishing Dou Jiande, and cutting down Liu Wuzhou, which is not a monstrous achievement, but the god of war in the hearts of millions of Tang people, how can it be the villain you say in your mouth!"
"Tsk, you also said that King Qin has immortal merits, but has King Qin been rewarded? Hasn't the crown prince's position fallen on the East Palace? There is merit but no reward, if I were His Royal Highness King Qin, I would definitely make the most powerful choice in times of crisis!"
"Presumptuous, you rebel!"
......
These controversies reached Li Yuan's ears like ghosts, and sure enough, as Li Yuanji thought, Li Yuan was furious and suspicious for the rest of his life! If it had been put in the past, Li Yuan would never have doubted his son, and would only arrest those who chewed the root of his tongue and kill them for slander, but now, after Li Shimin said those words the day before yesterday, Li Yuan could not contain a cloud of suspicion in his heart!
Yes, why was the 300,000 army defeated, but you were able to return to Chang'an unscathed, according to the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, masters like Shi Fan would never let you go, the commander of the Tang army, but you just came back...... What's even more strange is that you, as my Li Yuan's son, actually turned your elbow outward, not thinking about how to resist the enemy, but came to persuade your father to surrender to Kou Zhong?
The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he suddenly couldn't sit still, if it was really as rumored, then the moment Li Jingbing came to Chang'an, I am afraid it would be when he was betrayed by his son!
"Someone, spread the King of Qin to enter the palace!" Li Yuan broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and hurriedly shouted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
......
"Big brother, big brother! Great joy, great joy! Father and Emperor have really fallen into the scheme, and now he has sent someone to pass the second brother into the palace!" Li Yuanji rushed into the East Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a spring breeze on his face.
Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard this, Huo Ran got up and said, "This is true!"
"Seriously! Now that the eunuch has left the palace, without further ado, today is the opportunity to do something!" Li Yuanji said excitedly. Li Jiancheng let out a sneer when he heard this, sneering, no wonder he is ruthless for his brother!
Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng immediately sent people to various places in the palace, over the years, many of Li Yuan's people around him were their henchmen, and they spread the news on weekdays, but today it is going to come in handy......
The palace seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact, it is almost the same as being undefended for the royal family and nobles, and if they want to know something, it is basically easy!
Before the eunuch arrived at the palace of King Qin, Li Shimin had already received a secret letter from the palace, and when the eunuch conveyed Li Yuan's will, the strategists around Li Shimin felt uneasy in their hearts, knowing that this time was extraordinary, and even persuaded Li Shimin not to go.
Li Shimin is not a fool, he is very clear about the rumors in the palace these days, and he also knows that now he is almost in a situation where he is in Chang'an on all sides, but now that Li Yuan is calling, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he Li Shimin has to go! Otherwise, it will be a blatant protest!
"Your Highness, don't go! Now there is a lot of noise in the palace, and with the gradual arrival of Wu Jun, it has come time to see the poor dagger! His Royal Highness has no hurt heart, but there are people in the palace who want His Highness's life!" Du Ruhui was the most astute, and at this time he bitterly admonished Li Shimin and persuaded him not to go to the palace.
Li Shimin sighed: "It's not that Lone doesn't know the situation at this time, but Lone has no choice!"
"Since you can't go, then go!Your Highness, that move should be used!" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, and said with difficulty: "Really...... Is it time to use it?"
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, "Either life or death! There is no choice! Your Highness, this is not the time for a woman's kindness, and you should continue to suffer from it!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then nodded silently, he has cultivated this move for more than ten years, and he has never used it, but now, as the eldest grandson Wuji said, it is time to use it......
Du Ruhui didn't know what the so-called chess pieces were, but he understood that there were some things that should not be asked, and if he knew, he would be frightened because of this, as long as Li Shimin was prepared, he should not have the slightest room to fight back......
The remnant sun was like blood, Li Shimin walked expressionlessly on the way to the palace, and his shadow was pulled by the slanting sun for a long time......
With a squeak, the palace door opened, and the deep corridor was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast. Li Shimin glanced in a certain direction in the palace with a complicated expression, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Presumably, it has already begun! Big brother, you don't want to disappoint the younger brother!" (To be continued.) )
