Chang'an City.

It is the end of autumn, and Chang'an is even cooler.

Li Shimin has been waiting for news from Gyeongju City, but for several days, no news has come.

This made him suddenly think of what Qin Tian said.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his heart was a little uneasy.

"Auxiliary, is it really all arranged in Gyeongju?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, there will be no problem, Yang Wengan will definitely know about Chang'an."

Li Shimin's expression moved slightly: "But what if he knew about it, but he didn't rebel?" ”

"This ......" Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated a little, he was very sure of this before, but now there is no news from Gyeongju, and he is faintly not so sure.

And just as the two of them were saying this, a guard hurriedly came to report: "Lord Wang, someone from Gyeongju has returned." ”

"Let him in." Someone came back, which did not make Li Shimin too excited, but a little nervous.

If Yang Wengan rebelled, he should have waited for the news of the rebellion, not the person who came back.

A short time later, a spy came to the living room.

"Lord Wang!" 、

"What's going on in Gyeongju?"

"Lord Wang, Yang Wengan has entered Beijing!"

"What?" Li Shimin was a little shocked, and immediately stood up from the chair, and the eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth even wider, he knew Yang Wengan well, how could he know that he would die if he returned to Beijing, but he could come back?

"Didn't you let him know about the prince's imprisonment?"

"Let him know, but after he knew, he still followed the envoy back to Beijing, and we couldn't do anything about it."

Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and they both miscalculated.

"Auxiliary, since Yang Wengan knows that the prince has been taken to prison, and his father is already suspicious of him, let him enter Beijing just to prevent him from rebelling, after he enters Beijing, he is afraid that he will be arrested soon, but why does he want to come back?"

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and pondered.

"Could it be that he has a way not to die, but how is this possible? The armor and blades are all conclusive. Eldest Sun Wuji was a bit like talking to himself at this time, and when he said this, he faintly felt that the whole thing seemed to have a problem in that link.

It's just that in the end there was a problem in that link, but he couldn't figure it out.

Li Shimin frowned, and after a long time, he said: "If Yang Wengan enters Beijing, whether he dies or not, my plan may not be implemented." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head, he naturally understood this.

If Yang Wengan is killed, then those people in Gyeongju will either rebel or not rebel, and if they don't rebel, Li Shimin will naturally have no way to gather his own people back.

And those people rebelled, without the leadership of Yang Wengan, they were simply a group of rabble, Li Yuan sent a general at will, it was possible to subdue Gyeongju, and Li Shimin was not needed to make a move.

If Yang Wengan doesn't die, it means that his father doesn't believe that Li Jiancheng intends to force the palace at all, and the whole thing will be meaningless.

"Your Highness, in this case, it is better to intercept Yang Wengan halfway, if he is killed, those people in Gyeongju may rebel, although they are just a group of rabble, but don't forget that Gyeongju is very close to Tuyuhun and the party, if Tuyuhun sends troops, the saint will definitely ask the prince to lead the troops to the battle."

In the case of foreign enemies, only Li Shimin is sure to win the battle in the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, after the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin shook his head: "No, we can fight internally, but we can't give foreign enemies a chance, otherwise it will affect the stability of our Tang Dynasty, and Yang Wengan was killed before he entered Beijing, and his father must have suspected that it was the king's doing, but he helped the prince at that time." ”

"What does the prince mean?"

"Since Yang Wengan is back, let him come back, this king is very curious, why does he know that he is dead, but he still wants to come back."

---------------------

Yang Wengan was a little taciturn along the way, but it was relatively calm along the way, and they didn't encounter any trouble.

When I returned to Chang'an, it was the evening of that day.

In the late autumn evening, it was already dark and early.

However, Yang Wengan immediately entered the palace.

The palace is heavily guarded, and it is still slaughtered.

In the imperial study, Li Yuan looked at Yang Wengan who was kneeling in front of him, and his expression was surprisingly calm.

"Do you know my intention to come back?"

"Back to the Holy Word, on the way back, I already learned about it."

"Now that you know it, and you still come back with you, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Yang Wengan smiled softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did send someone to send a batch of armor and blades to Gyeongju, but that was because Gyeongju was underarmed and could not resist other places, so the last general asked the prince for it, and he had no intention of rebelling against the palace." ”

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched: "Do you think I will believe your words?" There is no record of those armors and blades in the household department and the military department of the imperial court, and even the whole operation is very secretive, do you think I don't even know? ”

Li Yuan's words were very cold, Yang Wengan raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan, and his eyes were unusually firm.

"Since the Holy One does not believe in the words of the last general, then the last general can only die to show his loyalty."

As he spoke, Yang Wengan suddenly slammed into the pillar next to him, only to hear a bang, and Yang Wengan's whole person staggered.

Blood was bubbling from his forehead, and his whole body suddenly became dying.

"The last general, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the saint, there is no second heart, saying that the last general intends to rebel, but it is actually a frame-up and wrong, please the saint to investigate."

After that, Yang Wengan had already pounced and fell to the ground and died.

Everything happened just now, and Li Yuan didn't expect Yang Wengan to commit suicide in order to prove his innocence.

This made him suddenly shake his previous thoughts.

If Yang Wengan and the crown prince really intended to rebel, how could Yang Wengan return to the capital, and even if he did, how could he prove his innocence by dying?

Everyone spared their lives, Yang Wengan obviously had a chance to rebel, and after the rebellion, there was a great possibility that he would survive, but he didn't.

This is the act of a loyal minister.

He suddenly thought of the crown prince again, if he really intended to rebel against the palace, how could he be arrested, unless he didn't have any intention of rebellion, he believed that he was innocent, and he also believed that his father, the emperor, could give him innocence.

Li Yuan's heart suddenly softened.

Li Yuan walked back and forth in the imperial study, Yang Wengan's body had been carried out, and just when the dusk was falling and the autumn wind was rising again, Li Yuan issued an edict: "Let the prince go back." ”

Chang'an is already panicked, and if there is no result, it is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble, and then he knows that Yang Wengan is doing all this for the prince.

If the crown prince can't regain his freedom, those people in Gyeongju are afraid that they will rebel, right?

Li Yuan knows a lot of things, but sometimes, he has to pretend to be confused, and what he needs may be just a step, such as Yang Wengan's death.
