Li Yuan gave Li Chao an errand to go to Weiqiao to meet the triumphant Li Shimin, reward the three armies, and reward the meritorious soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Weibei, the triumphant soldiers in the camp excited to drink and eat meat, each of them got two catties of imperial wine reward, twenty people divided a sheep, in addition to a lot of pigs, cattle, fish, chickens and ducks, etc., the court is very generous, each triumphant soldier, but also got a silk money reward.

The Chinese army battalion.

Li Shimin took the holy decree, then took out the talisman and handed it to Li Chao.

The moment the talisman was handed over, Li Shimin's hand paused. Hand over the talisman, and the army will no longer be under his command. Now, nominally, this army is temporarily controlled by Li Chao. Then this army will return to the same place one after another, or go home, or return to the defensive ground to guard.

Li Chao and Li Shimin looked at each other, and Li Chao saw the anger in Li Shimin's eyes.

He looked at him helplessly.

Li Shimin already knew that the emperor had arrested Zhang Liang and Du Yan, and let the crown prince return to the East Palace. At the court meeting yesterday morning, the long-lost prince finally reappeared.

Although he looked a little thin and a little haggard, the prince reappeared at the court meeting wearing the crown robe, and his identity was not a sinner, but still the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the emperor's throne, the crown prince sat in that position again.

Under one man, above ten thousand.

This incident really made countless people stunned, not to mention those who watched the excitement in Chang'an City. Many people are in a trance, could it be that what happened before was just a dream for them?

It's not that the prince is imprisoned and wants to be deposed, why did he return to the court in a blink of an eye.

When Li Shimin knew the news, he still had 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but so what?

There are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City, as long as Li Yuan gives an edict, the soldiers and horses under Li Shimin will turn against each other. Li Shimin had to come to Weibei with his troops as expected and stop here.

It's just that he didn't expect that it was Li Chao who came.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to let you come." Li Shimin was very depressed.

Li Chao sat down in front of Li Shimin and handed him the wine bag, "I didn't expect it either." ”

Li Shimin, who has never liked to drink much, directly raised his head and drank several big sips. "Why isn't this wine strong at all?"

"I know that His Royal Highness may be in a bad mood, how dare I burn a knife or a second pot for you, this is beer, light taste, a little bitter, but not drunk."

"I just want the strongest burning knife now, and I can't get drunk until I get off."

"But it's easy to get drunk, but it doesn't solve the problem."

Li Shimin didn't care whether the beer was weak or not, he was full, and then raised his head and drank it violently.

"This is the fifth time!"

Li Shimin's eyes were red and he said.

"Words are not believed!"

"Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, at least the current situation is not worse than before, right?" Li Chao persuaded him.

"Isn't that bad?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

Li Chao sat there very calmly, and he didn't stop Li Shimin, anyway, he was really not afraid that Li Shimin would get drunk and die.

In Li Chao's view, the current situation is indeed no worse than before. It was only when Li Shimin was given great hope, and then this hope was ruthlessly shattered, and this huge contrast made Li Shimin so out of shape.

The closest time to the position of the crown prince is a stone's throw away, but unfortunately, it was ruthlessly pushed away by Li Yuan in the end.

"What the hell went wrong?" Li Shimin held his head and squatted on the ground, extremely out of shape.

In fact, Li Shimin is only in his early twenties, and he is just a young man who has just come out of college, and he may still be working as an intern in a large company, in front of a miscellaneous brother. But he began to lead his troops to fight at the age of sixteen, fighting in the south and in the north.

However, no matter how powerful a person is, there is also a vulnerable side, and the dignified admiral will also have times when he has an emotional breakdown and gaffes.

"It's King Qi, and Feng Deyi!"

"Feng Deyi? What does this have to do with him? ”

Li Shimin has always regarded Feng Deyi as his own, and even thinks that Feng Deyi is more reliable than Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu, but now Li Chao says that his failure to get the crown prince has something to do with Feng Deyi.

How is this possible, Feng Deyi is the Sima of his Tiance Mansion, why does he want to plot against himself.

"Feng Deyi actually secretly has a better relationship with the prince!"

In a word, Li Shimin almost vomited blood, he has always been very good at making friends with civil and military, winning over people, and even buying. Unexpectedly, he was also calculated.

A Feng Deyi, let himself waste his previous efforts.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, King Qi knows that His Highness has a lot of tricks, mainly about private arming. His Majesty therefore believed that the crown prince was not trying to make a rebellion this time, but was just preparing to guard against the Qin Palace. His Majesty summoned the prime minister to inquire about each other's opinions one by one, but Pei Lin said that the prince had no intention of rebelling. Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and Ze all thought that the prince was not suitable to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"But when asked about Feng Deyi, he said that His Royal Highness was ruthless, and said that His Royal Highness was the one who really had the intention of rebelling, and even persuaded His Majesty to demote you from Chang'an and seal you to Lingnan, and even persuaded His Majesty not to let you out of Beijing for the sake of stability, and to give you death directly."

Li Shimin smashed his fist on the ground, smashing a deep hole.

His eyes erupted with fire, and he wanted to get up immediately and kill Feng Deyi.

"Why, why did he do it?"

"I don't know, maybe the prince promised him more benefits!"

Feng Deyi's sudden defection really caught Li Shimin off guard. Moreover, Feng Deyi, who was obviously on Li Shimin's side, strongly admonished against King Qin as the crown prince, which made Li Yuan's mind change a lot.

"The second concubine Yin and Zhang in the palace have also been persuading Your Majesty to blow the pillow wind for Your Majesty."

"I should have insisted on it a little longer, if I had insisted at that time, His Majesty had abolished the crown prince, and I would have sent troops to quell the chaos after I was appointed as my crown prince, there would have been no such things." Li Shimin regretted it.

This kind of thing, regret is useless, and there is no regret medicine to take.

And Li Chao also feels that some things are not coincidences. Li Yuan was obviously a little hesitant to change the prince at that time, otherwise why did he insist on waiting for Li Shimin to return to Beijing before appointing him as the crown prince?

Li Chao felt that Li Shimin made Li Yuan feel threatened.

is the most ruthless emperor's family, not only the brotherhood will compete for the prince, but the father and son will also have cruel rebellion and usurpation, and this kind of thing is not a few.

It is true that the crown prince rarely rebels, but the average prince is much more likely to rebel.

Li Yuangang ruled the world and had only been the emperor for five years, how could he be willing to be usurped by his son?

"What do we do now?" Li Shimin was like a drowning man grasping a straw, he held Li Chao's hand and asked him expectantly.

Li Chao thought for a while and said, "The most important thing now is to know what Your Majesty thinks. What worries me the most is that after this incident, Your Majesty has taken precautions against us, and if Your Majesty wants to divide His Royal Highness into Lingnan or Shuzhong, then we will be in big trouble. ”

Originally, before this incident, he directly planned the change of Xuanwumen, and Li Chao felt that the success of the matter would be great. But after experiencing the Yang Wengan incident, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to plan the changes in Xuanwumen.

This is not good news, but at this time, he can't accuse Li Shimin of not listening to persuasion.

"San Lang, didn't you have a Xuanwumen plan before, let's use this plan. While Shubao Jingde and they are still in Beijing, let's start it as soon as possible. ”

Li Chao looked at Li Shimin, the kid was a little drunk and a little anxious. Actually saying such a thing, any plan, depends on the timing.

Even if the Xuanwu Gate plan is still feasible, it is not now.

At this time, Li Yuan is staring at Li Shimin tightly, if he dares to do something, isn't this self-defeating?

"Your Highness, now is not the time, we just missed the best time, we have to wait for the time again."

Committing a crime against the wind, that is looking for death, Li Chao has not lived enough.

"Then think about it, are there any other suitable plans?"

Li Chao has a headache, you should rebel against the palace to go shopping in the East and West Market.

The Xuanwu Gate plan, which was already a difficult difficulty, has now been made by Li Shimin and them like this, and it has become a hell mode.

"I think, don't make any moves yet, after returning to Beijing, Your Highness will temporarily stay in the limelight, at least, you have to pass this limelight first."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Saburo, if only I had listened to your advice last time. Ay! ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, this time there is indeed a good chance, and the success or failure is unexpected." Li Chao comforted Li Shimin.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to Beijing first." Li Shimin got up and sighed again.

Li Shimin rode a horse and returned to the capital with dozens of guards.

The last time he left Beijing, he was full of spirit and pride. But now when I return to Beijing, I am very depressed.

When he entered the city, he didn't even have time to enter his home, so Li Shimin went to the palace.

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Yuan called all three sisters-in-law together, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji. The father and son sat together, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

"The three of you brothers have a drink together, and the last incident is over. In the future, don't make these messy things again, you all do your part. ”

Li Shimin's heart was dripping blood, but he still had to smile.

He took the lead in raising his glass, "Big brother, I misunderstood you, apologize to you!" I'll do this wine first. ”

The corners of Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched, and he also picked up his wine glass, "They are all brothers of the same mother, a little misunderstanding, it's okay to get over it, and I'll do it too." ”

Li Yuanji also raised his glass.

"Erlang, this New Year's Day also let you lead the troops to the battle, thank you for your hard work. Now that you are triumphant, you will rest at home more, and you will not have to worry about the affairs of the court. Shangshu Province will be handed over to Pei Lian, Yongzhou will be handed over to Yang Wen, Tiance Mansion, just give it to Feng Deyi and Yu Wenshi and the two first, and you can rest at home. ”

Li Shimin blushed and nodded.

"This time your brother's misunderstanding is all caused by those people below. I can't spare them. Wang Qi and Wei Ting in the East Palace, Zhang Liang and Du Yan in the Qin Palace, all of them were exiled to Liangzhou to join the army, and Wei Zheng was demoted to Liangzhou Sima. Let them go to the border, serve under Wen Yuan, and atone for their sins! (To be continued.) )
