Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ass Decides the Head (1st Update)
In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the two brothers, sat alone, and there was not even a waiter beside them.
Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuanji's relay, and muttered for a long time: "So, Erlang is resigning to Chen Ying and Sanniang?" ”
Li Yuanji smiled coldly and said, "Big brother, do you believe that Erlang will go to the third sister's mansion for no reason?" I'm afraid that he is in front of me, and some things are inconvenient to say, the so-called resignation, I don't think so, he is willing to leave Chang'an? As long as he dares to leave, the gang of people in the Qin Wangfu will go their separate ways in less than three months, and it is estimated that except for the fat man of the eldest grandson Wuji, there will be no one around him! ”
Li Yuanji's words actually have a certain amount of truth. Li Shimin is not the prince, he is just the king of Qin, it is precisely because he has the opportunity to win the heir, so a group of people who are cold benches will burn Li Shimin's stove, Li Shimin fails, their fate will not be bad, once Li Shimin succeeds, they will get a hundred times, ten thousand times the return.
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Erlang went out of Liangzhou, Daddy told me, I didn't agree, but I proposed that Erlang go out of Luoyang." ”
"Big brother, you ...... You are crazy! Li Yuanji already regretted it as soon as he said it, but he immediately changed his words and said: "Big brother, Sanhu lost his word." ”
Li Jiancheng said disapprerovingly: "Don't you understand the reason why I did this? ”
Li Yuanji said with some dissatisfaction: "Of course I don't understand, what's wrong with letting him go to the place where birds don't in Liangzhou?" As long as he goes to Liangzhou, it will not be so easy to return to Chang'an. ”
"It's different, it's different!" Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "In his Chang'an, under our noses, if there are any small actions, we can find them in time, prevent them, and take countermeasures in time, but if he goes to Liangzhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, we don't know what is going on in secret." ”
Li Yuanji said disapprerovingly: "Big brother, you think too much, what else can he do in that broken place in Liangzhou?" ”
"Liangzhou is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zhengsanpin, if he goes to Liangzhou, he will definitely have the dispatch of Longyou Daoxing Taishang Shuling, civil and military, think about Liangzhou under the jurisdiction of nineteen states and seventy-four counties, or three or five years, he will become the northwest king of our Tang Dynasty, the court does not look at his face, don't forget, Qin Liang, the people's customs are fierce, is a place to strengthen the army."
"Qin Liang's land is too barren, what does he use to raise an army?" Li Yuanji didn't want Li Shimin to be in Chang'an City at all, and wished that Li Shimin would be sent as far away as possible, and it was best to be assigned to Lingnan and become the king of Lingnan.
Li Jiancheng smiled slightly: "Don't forget Chen Ying, in that poor place in Lingzhou, it is not like him who has pulled out more than 30,000 elite troops in just over a year, the place under Erlang's jurisdiction is ten times larger than Lingzhou, Erlang's Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are all talents in ten thousand, if he runs Liangzhou, maybe it is really possible to run a successful business, Qinliang connects the Western Regions, connects the south and north of the desert, and is a place where soldiers must fight, and war is inevitable." But the countries of the Western Regions are too weak, if Erlang has been operating in Liangzhou for several years and continues to use troops to the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions will be unstoppable, and when the time comes, Erlang will expand the territory for thousands of miles, not to mention the palace, even the father and emperor will have no way to prevent Erlang from returning strongly......"
Li Yuanji involuntarily held his breath, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Li Jiancheng has already said that Li Shimin's heart is like a tiger, his body is like a pine and cypress, he seems to be kind and generous, but he is not a ruthless crime, for his own selfish interests, maybe his ability is insufficient, but if he can have such ambitions, he will never stop halfway. In other words, Li Shimin will definitely kill people for his own goals.
Li Shimin, who was trapped in Chang'an, was not worried, because whether it was his Shangshu order or General Tiance, in fact, they were all false titles, and if there was no Li Yuan's holy decree, Li Shimin would be an empty shell.
But if he really lets him go to Liangzhou to operate for a few years, he will definitely be able to build an army of tens of thousands of elite and strong troops in Liangzhou, whether it is to destroy the country and capture the king for dozens of merits, or deterrence, when it is time, it is the real big trouble.
Li Yuanji saw it very well, and said with Ai Ai: "Then ...... Big Brother means ......"
Li Jiancheng said: "Give Erlang two roads, either out of the town of Luoyang and serve as Luoyang Yin, or stay in Chang'an and serve as Shang Shuling." ”
In fact, neither of these paths is a good path. First out of the town of Luoyang, it seems that the real power of the official, the key is that Chen Ying's official position as the pacification envoy of Henan Province has not been removed, if Li Shimin goes to Luoyang to serve as Luoyang Yin, then Li Shimin will become Chen Ying's subordinate official, and Chen Ying will not embarrass Li Shimin, but he also doesn't want to be comfortable, because of Chen Ying's military power, Li Shimin can't move.
Staying in Chang'an to serve as Shang Shuling, I am afraid it will be even more tragic, because Shang Shu's left servant is Pei Lone, all along, Pei Lin has always regarded himself as the boss of Shangshu Province, Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin competed for power, and as a result, Liu Wenjing, one of the founding fathers, died very miserably, Li Shimin wants to wrestle with Pei Lone, I am afraid it will be much more tender.
When Li Yuanji heard this, his eyebrows fluttered and said, "Big brother, this is really wonderful......
Before Li Yuanji finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the hall, because Li Jiancheng ordered that within thirty steps of the hall, no one was allowed to approach, so this footsteps did not mean to stop, thinking that something important must have happened, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji followed the prestige at the same time.
I saw Wei Chigong dressed in armor and coming with strong steps. Twenty steps away from Li Jiancheng, Wei Chi bowed and said, "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Li Yuanji looked at Yu Chi Gong, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said with a smile: "I heard that General Wei Chi is good at making horse lances?" ”
Wei Chigong replied lightly: "Back to His Royal Highness King Qi, the last general only understands a little!" ”
"Don't be modest, find a time, let's talk!" Li Yuanji clapped his hands and said: "This king has a good horse called Xue Wuxi, which is the only one in ten thousand West Pole BMW, as long as you win this king, Xue Wuxian is yours." ”
Li Jiancheng yelled at Li Yuanji with a straight face: "Sanhu don't want to mess around!" ”
Li Jiancheng said to Wei Chi Gong again: "General Wei Chi, what happened?" ”
Wei Chigong said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I just got the news that Luo Shixin, the general of Zuo Wuhou, was killed in Duanmen Lane and his life is in danger!" ”
"What?" Li Jiancheng's face changed suddenly.
There is a saying that the ass determines the head, and the head determines the thoughts. You are in a different position, and you have a different way of thinking. At the moment of hearing about Luo Shixin's assassination, Li Jiancheng subconsciously pointed the finger at Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
Because, this thing is very simple. Li Yuan originally threw Li Shimin's request to release Liangzhou to Li Jiancheng for processing, but it was obvious that Li Yuan did not agree to Li Shimin's release of Liangzhou, and the situation was different from what Li Jiancheng thought.
Li Yuan originally supported Li Shimin in order to check and balance Li Jiancheng, but now Li Shimin actually picked on his son and asked to be released and be a lazy prince, Li Yuan naturally would not agree.
However, Li Jiancheng's handling opinions have also been handed in, I am afraid that Li Shimin has already learned about these two paths, if he thinks about it from Li Shimin's point of view, he will not choose either of these two paths, because he is not satisfied with any of them.
The only way to break such a resolution is to create a big case within the court and attract everyone's attention. Then Luo Shixin became the primary target.
Luo Shixin is a subordinate general under Chen Ying under the East Palace, but at this moment Luo Shixin was promoted to General Zuo Wuhou, from the third rank of the senior member, which is quite a deputy of the large military region in later generations, and the assassination of a general of such a level will definitely cause a violent shock in the imperial court. Li Shimin can hide behind the scenes, point out the country, and exalt the words.
……
Chen Ying stayed outside Luo Shixin's house for a full night, and even Li Xiuning persuaded him, but Chen Ying was unmoved. Chen Ying was very self-blaming, he knew that Luo Shixin was beheaded by Liu Heimin in the fourth year of martial arts in history, but in this time and space, Liu Heimin had been beheaded by Luo Shixin, but Chen Ying never expected that Luo Shixin was actually assassinated.
Chen Ying really couldn't figure out why Luo Shixin was assassinated. Luo Shixin is different from Chen Ying, Chen Ying still has some enemies, but Luo Shixin is a pure person, and he has no enemies at all. will not cause trouble, but at this moment, Luo Shixin was assassinated.
Chen Ying's brain was running rapidly, analyzing the person who assassinated Luo Shixin. Duanyangmen is already the inner city gate, in this position, ordinary people or wealthy relatives are not allowed to hold bows and crossbows, and if you can get the bow and crossbow to the position of Duanyangmen, there must be a certain amount of power.
However, there are too many wealthy families in Chang'an. To put it mildly, a brick hit three people, and I'm afraid two of them are from wealthy families.
Chen Huairen personally operated on Luo Shixin, took out the arrowhead, bandaged the wound, cleared the heat and detoxified, and when he was busy with all this, it was almost dawn.
Chen Ying watched Chen Huairen come out of the room, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is Luo Shixin's injury?" ”
Chen Huairen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "Fortunately in misfortune, General Luo's armor is strong, and the arrow is only pierced by one layer, and it does not penetrate deep into the internal organs. ”
Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
For a while, Guo Luo did not bring back useful news.
An hour later, Roshixin woke up. Luo Shixin shouted: "Starve to death!" ”
Chen hurriedly asked people to prepare food for Luo Shixin, and Luo Shixin gobbled it up, and drank a large pot of porridge after a while. Luo Shixin wiped his mouth and said, "Brother Chen is worried, you must be investigating who is dealing with me at this time, right?" ”
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I'm already investigating, but I don't have eyebrows yet, Brother Luo, don't worry, no matter who it is, I won't let him go!" ”
"Don't look it up!" Luo Shixin looked at Chen Yingdao.
Chen Ying was surprised: "Why? ”
"I know who did it!" Luo Shixin said: "And he is not ready to kill me, with his archery skills, if he wants to kill me, I can't avoid it at all, he knows that I am wearing two layers of armor, if it is aimed at the throat or eyes, face, I am afraid that at this time I am already a corpse!" He will do something to me, there must be a last resort, Brother Chen, promise me, don't check, don't make a noise! “
"I've already said it, don't forget it!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Yesterday, I have used the power of the Tiger Yicong to investigate the assassins, and I have also notified the East Palace, after all, this is Chang'an City, and it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven!" “
Luo Shixin sighed and said, "Do me a favor and send him out of Chang'an City before others catch him." “
Chen Ying asked in surprise, "Who?" “
Luo Shixin said: "Wang Bodang! “
"Ah...... How is this possible? Chen Ying was dumbfounded and said, "Isn't he dead?" “
