The palace is deep, but it is not an impermeable wall.

East Palace.

As soon as Li Jiancheng came back from outside, a spy hurriedly came to report.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Concubine Yin De sent someone to send a secret report."

As he spoke, he handed over a note, Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, although he had a good relationship with Concubine Yin De, he was still very worried that this matter would be exposed, so he was a little displeased with Concubine Yin Defei's quiet delivery of a secret report.

But when he opened the note and read the contents on it, his expression was shocked, and he secretly said that it was not good.

"Come on, go and call Song Gongqing, Qi Wang Yuanji, Xue Wanche and others to me."

When the spies heard that Li Jiancheng had called so many people at once, he didn't dare to stay, so he immediately took the order to retreat.

After the spies left, Li Jiancheng walked around the East Palace, very anxious, and after a while, a group of Wenchen and military generals from the East Palace came one after another.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you in such a hurry to summon me and wait?" Song Gongqing was the first to speak, and King Qi next to him followed closely and said, "Big brother, what happened?" ”

Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is burly and capable of carrying the crown, and is the first brave general under the prince.

Li Jiancheng asked everyone to sit down and said: "I just got the news that the prince gave Yang Wen the batch of armor and blades that he gave was reported, and my father has sent someone to investigate, if the investigation comes out, I'm afraid the situation is not good." ”

Hearing that this matter was reported, the hearts of the civil and military generals suddenly sank.

The people who were called by Li Jiancheng today are all Li Jiancheng's henchmen, so they are also clear about this matter.

In the past, when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was favored, Li Jiancheng was worried that the position of the crown prince would not be guaranteed, so he intended to support a team of soldiers and horses as a backing, if there was a problem, he could also protect himself, if his father intended to abolish the prince and give up the position of the prince to Li Shimin, he could also take the opportunity to force the palace.

And Yang Wengan is the team arranged by Li Jiancheng.

After Yang Wengan moved to the governor of Gyeongju, he intended to develop soldiers and horses, but Gyeongju was not financially adequate, and it was Li Jiancheng who gave him armor and blades.

It's just that later, the people of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, were demoted from the capital one after another, and the matter was put on hold, and it was not until a few months ago that the armor and blades were finally sent.

Of course, it is not easy to send so many things quietly, so a lot of time is wasted.

Everyone present knew very well that if this matter broke out, they were afraid that Li Yuan would not spare the prince.

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, had a hot temper and said: "Big brother, since the incident happened, then we will force the palace directly, let my father give way to you, and you will be the emperor directly, big brother." ”

Li Yuanji felt that if his father wanted to investigate this matter, he would definitely be able to find out, after all, such a large batch of armor and blades were shipped to Gyeongju, and it was difficult to hide it.

And this matter is reported, there is no good, and you can only strike first.

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, many generals also echoed him, their fate is closely related to Li Jiancheng, if Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, they will be rich, if Li Jiancheng fails to ascend the throne, then they are afraid that their fate will be very miserable.

These generals came out of the **** at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they were all very bold, and they didn't feel anything about this kind of forced palace.

It's just that just when they said that they were forcing the palace, Song Gongqing suddenly stood up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if we force the palace, we are only fifty percent sure, win, rank ninety-five, defeat, but don't think about having a living." ”

Dare to force the palace, it is a great crime of rebellion, even if he is the prince, he is afraid that it will be difficult to live, even if his father is merciful and forgives him, but will Li Shimin spare him?

Fifty percent of the certainty is really not much.

Li Jiancheng raised his head slightly, glanced at Song Gongqing, and asked, "What is Mr. Song's good plan?" ”

Song Gongqing said: "I don't dare to say a good policy, but I can ensure that His Royal Highness the crown prince is safe and sound." ”

Hearing Song Gongqing say this, Li Jiancheng's heart moved, if he could continue to be the prince, it would be a foolproof strategy for him, at least it was much stronger than forcing the palace.

"Mr. Song, speak quickly." Li Jiancheng asked eagerly, but Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, snorted, he had never been accustomed to the tricks of a literati strategist like Song Gongqing.

In his opinion, it is very boring to be decisive and decent, and to engage in some intrigues.

However, Li Yuanji did not say much at this time.

Song Gongqing didn't care about Li Yuanji's attitude, as long as Li Jiancheng recognized him, he didn't need to care about other people's opinions.

"Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think things are very strange, it's been a few months since the armor matter, and this matter has only been reported, I'm afraid that someone premeditated it."

Song Gongqing was not in a hurry, Li Jiancheng frowned slightly when he heard this: "You mean King Qin?" ”

Song Gongqing bowed: "It is indeed His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so it only needs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to insist that he was framed." ”

After Song Gongqing finished speaking, everyone was stunned, they originally thought that Song Gongqing would say something amazing, but they didn't think about it, but they just let Li Jiancheng insist that he was framed, what kind of solution is this?

Li Jiancheng was silent, but Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, suddenly grabbed Song Gongqing and shouted, "Don't you want to harm my eldest brother?" ”

Song Gongqing smiled lightly and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is not in a hurry, his subordinates' words have not been finished yet, since this matter is set up by the King of Qin, the Holy Lord will definitely be able to find out the matter of the armor, in this way, the Holy Lord will definitely summon His Royal Highness the Prince into the palace, at that time, I am afraid that it will also be a test of His Royal Highness the Prince, the Holy One is prepared, and the palace will not be forced, so it is safest for His Royal Highness the Prince to cry out for grievances, of course, if it is just like this, it is not enough to make the Holy One believe, so the most critical issue is that Yang Wengan must die." ”

Song Gongqing said the word death very seriously, and everyone suddenly felt that their blood congealed and trembled.

But soon they understood what Song Gongqing meant, and at this time, if Li Jiancheng wanted to sit firmly on the crown prince's throne, he had to abandon his pawn and protect the car.

"What does Mr. Song mean, killing people and killing people?" Li Jiancheng glanced up at Song Gongqing, although he agreed with Song Gongqing's idea, but it was a little embarrassing for him to kill people and kill him.

It's not that he can't do it, but if he really does it, it will chill the hearts of these civil servants and generals.

If he wants to gather his own power, he must win the hearts of the people, if his heart is cold, who will work for him?

Song Gongqing shook his head: "No, how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to such a thing, the subordinates mean that they want Yang Wengan to prove his innocence by dying." ”

Song Gongqing's words were very simple, but after his words came out, he immediately reversed the previous unfavorable situation, if Yang Wengan could really do this, many things would be much easier.

"Mr. Song is a good plan, but it's not easy to let Yang Wen die, right, ants are still greedy for life, let alone Yang Wengan?"

Song Gongqing said: "He has no choice, his subordinates are willing to be lobbyists, explain their interests and interests, and protect His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Okay, then after Yang Wengan enters Beijing, you can talk about it." In Li Jiancheng's opinion, if his father confirmed the matter, he would definitely send someone to announce Yang Wengan's entry into Beijing.

Song Gongqing shook his head: "No, my subordinates will leave immediately and go to Gyeongju." ”
