Chapter 287 A gentleman, but don't deceive him

"On what basis do you conclude that Erlang is stronger than this palace?" Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "Why do you think that I am not a good emperor? ”

"Because you're too indecisive!" Fang Xuanling pointed at Li Jiancheng and said: "You are benevolent, the Tang Dynasty is in your hands, you must repeat the disaster of Yongjia, it is useless to live in the community and the world!" ”

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are both people with ideals and political ambitions, and they follow Li Shimin, not all for their own glory and wealth, but to create a great era with their own hands.

Although Li Shimin has fought many defeats, Li Shimin still has advantages that Li Jiancheng does not have. For example, Li Shimin dared to fight, dared to fight, repeatedly defeated and fought, and was invincible in a hundred battles. As the saying goes, if you want to create a great era, there will be many difficulties.

For this goal, ruthlessness and resoluteness are inevitable. The princes of the Manchu Dynasty represent the interests and political demands of the major clans, some of them are hindered, and some are unhelpful, they may not be mediocre ministers, nor are they treacherous, but they are not suitable for being in the court.

Li Jiancheng is always good and wants to unite everyone. However, it is impossible to think in one place and work hard in one place. At this time, it is necessary to make a trade-off, give up some people, and obtain the support and consent of the majority.

In fact, many of the national policies formulated by Li Jiancheng are the policies for the destruction of the country, such as the great stations in various places, as well as the pacification envoys of various provinces. Although Daxingtai had the functions of the imperial court, it caused a split in the imperial court. For example, Chen Yingren is the left servant of Xizhou Daoxingtai Shangshu, the protector of the Western Regions, and governs more than 100 counties in 19 states of Xizhou Dao, and the geographical area is the sum of Datang, Guannei Dao, Longyou Dao, Shaandong Dao, Hedong Dao, Henan Dao and Hebei.

With more than 100,000 heavy troops in hand, and in charge of the people's livelihood and politics in more than 100 cities, some people have money and soldiers, even if Chen Ying has no objections, but the political group surrounding Chen Ying may not have no dissenting intentions.

Of course, this is the case in the Western Regions, Li Shiji of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Jing of the Liangzhou Governor's Office, as well as Li Xiaogong of Hedong Province and Li Shentong of Hebei Province They all have the strength to rebel.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was silent, Fang Xuanling said lightly: "You show kindness everywhere, but you don't know that it is precisely because of the kindness of your women that countless Li people have lost their lives." For example, Yang Wengan, who has always been obsessed with Yang Wengan, yes, I can tell you openly that this is a conspiracy, but this conspiracy is your own repercussions! ”

Wei Zhengdang retorted: "Fang Xuanling, don't be a fool! ”

Li Jiancheng raised his hand and stopped Wei Zheng and said, "This palace wants to listen to how to reverse black and white!" ”

"The cause of Yang Wengan's rebellion is actually very simple, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows it!" Fang Xuanling's speech became faster and faster, and he became more and more urgent.

Fang Xuanling continued: "At the beginning, Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, secretly stole and sold armor weapons to Liangshidu, and according to the law, he should be punished by beheading, and the law of the country should be corrected, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembered that Yang Wengan came from the East Palace, and his hard work was high, so he opened the net and filled the hole of Yang Wengan's theft and sale with the armor of the East Palace, 8,000 sets of armor, worth millions, which is all people's fat and people's ointment, and His Royal Highness the Prince did not care about it, so King Qin used this matter as a threat! ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he suddenly realized.

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Your Highness, you shouldn't tolerate adultery!" ”

Li Jiancheng actually has no way to say that Qiao Gongshan has rebelled, and Li Jiancheng was originally worried that Yang Wengan would jump over the wall in a hurry, and led more than 14,000 soldiers from the Gyeongju Governor's Office to surrender to Liangshidu or the Eastern Turks, so Li Jiancheng pretended to be willing to fund to fill the hole created by Yang Wengan, and secretly ordered Qiao Gongshan to arrest Yang Wengan.

It's just a pity that the eldest grandson Wuji was a step ahead, not only destroying Li Jiancheng's plan, but also forcing Yang Wengan to rebel.

Li Jiancheng said word by word: "You are wrong...... Jiro was wrong...... Daddy was wrong, too! ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng with playful eyes.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "Maybe everyone in the world thinks of me like this, but I want to prove that everyone in the world is wrong!" ”

Fang Xuanling still looked at him with disdain, but his attitude was obviously more cautious.

Li Jiancheng forced his throat and said: "I didn't want to be an emperor, but I had to do it, if I didn't do it, I would die, and those who followed me would have to die, so I had no choice; Whether this step is right or wrong, I don't know if I say it, Erlang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he can't say it, Daddy doesn't count what he says, and it doesn't count if you say it; The merits and demerits can only be left for future generations to comment on......"

Fang Xuanling held the hand with the chain and the lock clenched, but his expression did not move.

Li Jiancheng suddenly turned his face and looked at Wei Zheng squarely: "Unload the flail for him!" ”

Wei Zheng waved his hand, and the two stepped forward.

Li Jiancheng turned to look at Fang Xuanling and said: "Since I am the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future, I must be a good emperor, I will not let you laugh at me, not only will I make you living people convinced, but I will also let those dead ghosts who died in my hands be convinced." ”

Li Jiancheng is full of confidence.

Wei Zheng was excited.

Fang Xuanling raised his head to look at the sky, and said disdainfully: "Foolish people talk about dreams!" ”

Li Jiancheng said proudly: "Let's see." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Fang Xuanling's eyes.

Li Jiancheng stopped talking to Fang Xuanling, and walked inside.

Li Jiancheng said as he walked: "Pass on the prince's order of the palace - pardon Shi Fang Xuanling, the former head of the Qin Palace, and promote him to the chief secretary of the crown prince Zhan Shi, and be on duty in the study of the East Palace." ”

Wei Zheng's eyes widened in astonishment.

Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.

The two jailers opened the shackles for Fang Xuanling, and before Fang Xuanling could react, several attendants pressed Fang Xuanling and crowned him.

Fang Xuanling kept struggling and roared, "What are you doing? ”

Li Jiancheng turned back from the outside and looked at Fang Xuanling's embarrassment with interest.

Fang Xuanling glared at Li Jiancheng angrily, swept away his former calmness, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Jiancheng, Fang will never ...... When you're the ...... of what Zhan Shi's master book is"

Li Jiancheng sneered and said as if he was a fool: "This palace doesn't need you to work for me, I just want you to watch by my side every day, watch how I govern the country, look at the world, how in my hands, truly achieve stability and peace; I want you to look at me, use people and administer, I want you to look at me, I want you to look at me, and become a super-Mai ancient and modern, comparable to three generations, a generation of saints......"

Li Jiancheng's expression gradually turned serious, and he shouted loudly with emotion: "In my eyes, you can't be considered a living person at all!" You are a mirror! ”

Li Jiancheng remembered the night before the Xuanwumen Incident, Chen Ying talked with Li Jiancheng: "Taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and taking people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses......"

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a long time, and said quietly: "You are really ...... Shameless! ”

Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows, looking calm.

Fang Xuanling, who was watching, gritted his teeth.

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "This palace is a gentleman, but you can't bully him!" ”

……

Zhang Gongjin, the head of the Huaizhou Governor's Office, looked at Zhang Liang with a nervous face, and Zhang Liang hugged his head and cried at this time.

Zhang Gongjin asked, "How many people escaped from Tiance Mansion?" Where is King Qin? ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "It was too chaotic at that time, I only know that the eldest grandson Wuji hijacked His Majesty by himself and forced the prince to let the King of Qin escape, and after the King of Qin escaped from Chang'an City, Chang'an City was banned." I had no choice but to escape from Chang'an City with the night fragrance! ”

Zhang Gongjin frowned and said slowly: "So, King Qin is still alive?" ”

"Of course alive, if the prince's people catch King Qin, they must tell the world!" Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "Lao Zhang, at this time, you can't be cowardly, quickly send someone to sneak into the pass and answer King Qin!" ”

Zhang Gongjin groaned: "You go down to rest first, and wait for a certain family to inquire about the news first and find out." ”

Zhang Gongjin winked at both sides.

A staff member came over and helped Zhang Liangmo down.

Another staff member leaned over and lowered his voice: "What are the plans of the marshal?" ”

"Wait." Zhang Gongjin sighed and said, "King Qin has no power to return to the sky!" ”

……

When the sky was just dawning, Chen Ying got up early. Seeing the lazy Li Xiuning turn over with difficulty, Chen Ying said: "Sanniang, let's go to Chang'an!" ”

"No!" Li Xiuning's eyes didn't open, and she murmured, "I'm going to sleep again!" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and sighed, "Sleep like in a carriage!" ”

As he spoke, he hugged Li Xiuning.

At this time, Li Xiuning was double, Chen Ying carefully hugged Li Xiuning and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

A cold wind blew, and Li Xiuning shivered and screamed: "Chen Lang, you want to freeze me to death......"

Chen Ying smiled slightly, quickly boarded the carriage, and carefully put Li Xiuning on the soft bed in the carriage.

At this time, the stove had already risen in the carriage, and it was steaming, but it did not feel cold.

Li Xiuning felt a little better, and found that there was still a little person shrunken like a kitten sleeping on the soft couch.

It's none other than Chen Qian.

Li Xiuning pointed at Chen Qian and said, "Chen Lang, why did you toss him too?" ”

Chen Ying said helplessly: "Now that Your Majesty is not in good health, you must visit as a child!" ”

Li Xiuning covered his head and said unhappily: "I don't care, I'll sleep first!" ”

Chen Ying shrugged his shoulders and asked the coachman to drive.

With the carriage swaying slightly, Li Xiuning soon fell asleep.

Chen Ying sat in front of the desk, using boiling water from a small red clay stove to make a bowl of tea.

Looking at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea bowl, Chen Ying also thought about it.

Chen Ying knew that Li Yuan would live for a long time, the key was that if Li Jiancheng could not force Li Yuan to abdicate like Li Shimin in history, Li Jiancheng would definitely still be the prince, and he would probably be the prince for more than ten years.

For the sake of his own rights and status, Li Yuan will definitely support King Qi and Li Jiancheng to fight, even if Li Jiancheng defeats King Qi, there are also King Zhao and King Han, anyway, Li Yuan has many sons, even if his son is young, it is enough to pull another prince to fight with Li Jiancheng.

The Tang Dynasty could only be caught up in the endless infighting and meaningless struggle for the throne.

The key is that Li Shimin is not dead, Li Jiancheng can't sleep, and Chen Ying can't sleep well.

If you want to say that Li Shimin hates the most at this time, it must be Chen Ying.

After all, without Chen Ying, the armed coup d'état launched by Li Shimin would have been successful.

Therefore, this time, Chen Ying must say that Li Jiancheng must be moved, and take the opportunity to force Li Yuan to abdicate, otherwise there will be no peace in the Tang Dynasty.

……

In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Fang Xuanling was forcibly taken to sit down next to the desk by the chamberlain.

Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, Xu Jingzong, Xu Shimo and others began to act after the case.

The staff next to him, flowing water, generally handed the concertos of different yamen to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng skillfully handled the movements, rejected the rejection, revised the revision, and stayed in the middle. Everything was in order.

Fang Xuanling sat quietly like this.

It was extremely boring to sit still, and Fang Xuanling was a little unable to sit still after only sitting for an hour.

Finally, at noon, the waiter delivered the meal.

Li Jiancheng was in the Xiande Palace, dining with the ministers of the East Palace.

Fang Xuanling was very curious, because the subordinates of the East Palace all had a shiny iron plate, Fang Xuanling knew that this was the so-called tinplate, although the tinplate was relatively soft, but after the casting was thicker, it still had a certain hardness, which was more than enough to act as a dinner plate.

This plate has five dimples on each top, and contains rice or steamed buns, steamed buns, three meat dishes and one vegetarian, and a bowl of broth.

Fang Xuanling looked at his dishes, including braised pork, bamboo shoots and noisy meat, and an oily fat chicken thigh.

Fang Xuanling was already hungry, so he was not polite at the moment, and ate it in a big gulp.

Li Jiancheng was talking to Wei Zheng and the others in a whisper, but unfortunately the distance was a little far, and Fang Xuanling couldn't hear it clearly.

Finally, when everyone dispersed, Fang Xuanling walked in front of Li Jiancheng with his dinner plate.

Fang Xuanling said: "It's one thing what you think, it's another thing if you can't do it...... You can last a day, you can last a month, maybe a year, but you can't last a lifetime! ”

Li Jiancheng choked, quickly took a big sip of soup, and then glared at Fang Xuanling and said, "The mirror can still speak?" ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Jiancheng, ignored him, and continued to say lightly: "To be a good emperor, there is no ordinary person at all, as happy as imagined, sometimes, even very painful, are you ready for all this?" ”

Li Jiancheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Why are you all so sure?" Am I certainly not a good emperor? I'm telling you, you're all wrong. If I want to do it, I will be a saint who has never come before and no ancients after me! ”

Fang Xuanling laughed, stretched out his hand and raised three fingers, cleared his throat and said: "If you can do it, you will know that there are three things in front of you, and you will never be able to do it." ”

Li Jiancheng put down his chopsticks and his eyes touched Wei Zheng's eyes in the air.

Wei Zheng smiled leisurely.

Li Jiancheng said lightly: "Say it, no matter what, I will definitely be able to do it." ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng coldly for a moment, and said slowly: "The first thing is to abolish the power of the East Palace, the King of Qi and the Qin Palace; the second, the abolition of the Daxingtai of Shaanxi East Road; The third is to pardon all the subordinate officials of the Qin Palace......"

The more Li Jiancheng listened, the more ugly his face became.

Fang Xuanling smiled: "Can you do it?" ”

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and said, "What if I do it?" ”

Fang Xuanling bowed down and said: "If you do it, Fang Xuanling will be loyal to the prince and unswerving!" ”

Wei Zheng began to bury his head in eating, and made a gesture for Li Jiancheng to agree.

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling in a daze, and said with a serious face: "Really? ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Really! ”

Li Jiancheng asked again: "Absolutely break your word?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Don't break your promise!" ”

Li Jiancheng fell silent instead, struggling in his heart.
