Chapter 93: Li Shimin's doubts

"Is there any change in Chang'an?"

Li Yuan ordered Liu Wenjing to be killed, in fact, it was not simply because Liu Wenjing was too involved in the dispute of the East Palace, the key was that the hearts of the people in Chang'an were fluctuating, and Li Yuan needed a prestige to deter the unsubordinate. Liu Wenjing's head is not big, just right, acting as the poor chicken who kills chickens and monkeys.

Pei Lin owed a debt and said in a low voice: "The storm of the Yushi Taiwan bullet is calm on the surface, but it is still boiling secretly!" ”

With the loss of Taiyuan, the hearts of the Tang Dynasty fluctuated. There are those who play Li Yuan to abandon Hedong, and there are also those who appease Liu Wuzhou, and some people even propose to unite Dou Jiande and fire Liu Wuzhou, and some people propose to unite with Wang Shichong and attack Liu Wuzhou. In fact, none of this recital spoke to Li Yuan's heart.

Li Yuan had no choice but to put it on the high ground and ignore it. But these people were even more energetic, and they played to Li Yuan endlessly, and these twists and turns made Li Yuan very annoyed. These people who have made a break are either Qingliu celebrities or Guanlong nobles, who are either highly respected or famous all over the world. For these stinky and hard people, Li Yuan can't beat or scold, once these people join forces, they will fully support Liu Wuzhou, the Tang Dynasty will lose Hedong forever, with the output of Hedong, plus Liu Wuzhou can get a steady stream of horse support from the Turks, then Liu Wuzhou will become a big trouble.

In this case, Li Yuan decided to kill the killer.

killed dozens of people such as Liu Wenjing and Li Mi in one go, and in this environment, the atmosphere of the imperial court was quiet. At least those twists and turns that gave Li Yuan a headache were swept away.

"Chen Ying broke through the Yanmen Pass, after the north and south broke the siege of Weize Pass, the situation in Hedong took a sharp turn, and now His Royal Highness the Prince has defeated the Song King Kong Department and recovered Hu, Shi, Jie, Haozhou and other states, if there is no accident, His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang will meet Taiyuan City in half a month, and Liu Wuzhou will be unable to escape." Li Yuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Taiyuan is the land of Longxing, Liu Wuzhou's vain attempt to defend Taiyuan is really ridiculous, and when the prince arrives in Taiyuan, Taiyuan will be self-defeating!" ”

Pei Lin smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

"How is Chen Ying's injury?"

Li Yuan seemed to be talking to himself to the Panlong Pillar from time to time, but there was a voice from the empty hall: "I hurt two ribs, it's no big deal!" ”

"Have you come back from Weize Pass?"

"After receiving His Majesty's command, General Chen immediately set off to Chang'an! It's just that...... It's just that! ”

"It's just that when I was in the Mouse Bird Valley, General Chen and his entourage were attacked, and General Chen personally broke the enemy and killed the generals, captured more than 400 bandits, and handed them over to Li Zhongwen, the governor of Bingzhou!"

Li Yuan's face suddenly turned cold: "What about Li Zhongwen, as the governor of Bingzhou, there are so many cases in Hedong, doesn't he even have a guilty plea?" ”

Yu Yanzhang didn't answer, but Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, the Hedong Tianxing Army has been newly defeated, and the number of people who have fled from the rout is unknown. ”

Li Yuan laughed angrily; "The founding martial arts marquis of the Tang Dynasty, the hussar general, and the governor of Lingzhou were assassinated, these thieves are really bold, do they still take the court in their eyes?"

Pei Lin said: "Three or five days of army rout, if you go up the mountain as a thief, it makes sense, but these thousands of people? If you abandon the division to the nearest Wang Shi, you will inevitably be crowned with a Ning Yuan general. But they chose to attack Chen Hussar, I'm afraid there is something else hidden in this! ”

Li Yuan was noncommittal, and his face moved slightly: "What are the people of the world doing?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is not yet cured." Pei Lin secretly said in his heart that the Li family's father and son are both born acting schools, and they pretend to be sick if they don't agree. Li Jiancheng pretended to be sick before, but now it is good that when Li Shimin asked to fight Hedong and was rejected by Li Yuan, Li Shimin also closed the door and thanked the guests, claiming that he was sick in bed.

Li Yuan's face sank and he said coldly: "Let him Hedong, greet my hussar general, Liu Wuzhou's fierce generals failed to kill him on the battlefield, if Xiaoxiao's crime is succeeded, I will become the biggest joke in the world." ”

In officialdom, nothing happens by chance. In Li Yuan's mind, the person who assassinated Chen Ying should be Li Shimin's family, and now Li Jiancheng has won one big victory after another in Hedong, and Chen Ying, as Li Jiancheng's disciple, almost turned the tide of the entire Hedong with his own strength.

As Li Shimin, the king of Qin, he must be unwilling.

Clear-eyed people can actually see at a glance that Li Jiancheng's contribution to the overall situation of Dinghedong was actually picked up in vain, and the most powerful of them was Chen Ying, and Chen Ying chose to send troops at the most appropriate time. Unexpectedly, he raided Hedong from Lingzhou and stabilized the situation in Hedong in one fell swoop.

Li Shimin has a motive and a reason to get rid of Chen Ying.

As long as Chen Ying is eliminated, not only can the merits of Hedong be eclipsed, but also Li Jiancheng's powerful arm will be eradicated, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, Li Shimin did it very secretly, Li Yuan has no evidence, but more than a month ago, Li Shimin convened the confidants of the Qin Wangfu to discuss important matters, and then Chai Shao suddenly sneaked to Hedong, which is the biggest problem.

Li Yuan is not afraid of Li Shimin fighting with Li Jiancheng, but this struggle must be within his control, Li Yuan still needs the Chen clan, not the Hou Mo Chen clan behind Chen Ying.

As the grandson of Li Hu, one of the Great Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Yuan was very aware of the power of the clan gate. The family of Li Bi (Li Mi's great-grandfather), the founding prince of Zhao County, the envoy, the general of the Zhu State, the governor of the capital, the great uncle, and the founding prince of Zhao County, Li Bi (Li Mi's great-grandfather) family was under the successive blows of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Mi was still in the limelight, and Li Mi's uncle Li Zhongwen had already defected to the Tang Dynasty and became the governor of the state.

The suppression of the Mohou Chen clan in the Sui Dynasty was far smaller than that of the Zhao Guogong family. The envoy of the Jiejie, the general of the Zhu State, the governor of the capital, the young master, the founding prince of Pengcheng County, the Marquis of Liang State, the Mo Chen family, the hidden strength should definitely not be underestimated. Chen Ying is only the fifth son of Hou Mo Chen Rui, and Hou Mo Chen Ying only left a Hou Mo Chen Qian Association in Chang'an, so the hidden children of the Hou Mo Chen family, needless to say, must be working for Wang Shichong, serving Dou Jiande, and even in Lingnan, that is the base camp of the Hou Mo Chen family.

If in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, if one of Hou Mo Chen's important sons-in-law is lost, God knows if Hou Mo Chen will go crazy?

In the Qin Palace, Li Shimin received an order from Li Yuan to greet Chen Ying, and Li Shimin also felt inexplicable. It is also a reward and a courtesy to let the dignified prince go to greet a great hero. But now Chen Yingyuan is in Hedong, three or four hundred miles away, even if Wei Qing and Huo Qubing didn't deserve such great courtesy, right?

Chen Ying has merit, and Chen Ying has made great contributions to pacifying Hedong, but no matter how great Chen Ying's merit is, it is impossible for a prince to go three or four hundred miles away to greet him, right?

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more confused he became, but he couldn't help but listen to Li Yuan's order, so he took Duan Zhixuan and Hou Junji, together with eight hundred Xuanjia iron horses, and embarked on the road to Hedong.

Locked bridge, Ryazan was angry. Ten taels of silver is not much, but it is also a month's worth of Ryazan.

The crux of the matter is that it is not a matter of how much money there is, but that Ryazan feels that he has been tricked by someone else as a monkey. Ryazan couldn't hold back his face: "That reed is not big, at most two or three hundred acres, I don't believe it, he can still fly to the sky." The brothers searched for me, and even if they ran into the mouse hole, they had to find out the splash. ”

A hundred guards hula rushed towards the reeds at once.

Unexpectedly, the sound of bowstrings breaking through the air sounded in the reeds, and dense arrows struck like a storm.
