Chapter 138: Capital Affairs

However, it was said that when Qin Tianping pacified the thieves inside and outside Longkou County, the capital Chang'an was not peaceful.

Since Qin Tian was demoted to Longkou County, in just half a year, Li Jiancheng joined forces with Pei Lin and Concubine Yin Defei to transfer the powerful generals and ministers around Li Shimin out of the capital one after another.

Now by Li Shimin's side, only Cheng Biting Jin is left among the generals, and this is why Li Jiancheng sees that Cheng Biting Jin is useless, and feels that there is no difference between Li Shimin and him, so he did not frame him.

In addition to Cheng Biting Jin, Wenchen also left the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, Zhang Gongjin and others, like Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other strategists, all of whom were thorns in Li Jiancheng's eyes, and they were taken out of Chang'an early.

Li Shimin's manpower is thin, although this is his intention, but he has less power in the capital, so he doesn't dare to stand out easily.

On weekdays, it has become a lot more peaceful, in addition to dealing with government affairs in the upper court every day, after the next dynasty, he will sit in the house, like a person like an idle cloud and a wild crane.

Li Jiancheng saw Li Shimin like this, so he finally let go of his defense.

In fact, as long as Li Shimin does not compete with him for the throne, he has no intention of really killing Li Shimin.

Life goes by like this, and if nothing else, it may really be like this.

But just when the summer was scorching, something suddenly happened in the palace.

Li Yuan suddenly had a nightmare at night, got up from the bed, and couldn't sleep again.

And, as soon as he closed his eyes, nightmares kept coming back and made him feel uneasy.

The news quickly spread to the princes and princesses, so early the next morning, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others came in a hurry.

"Father, I heard that you didn't rest well last night?" Li Jiancheng looked anxious, and Li Shimin and the others stood next to him, all nervous.

Li Yuan's bedroom is a self-rain house, so it is not very hot, but at this time, Li Yuan is sitting on the bed, but cold sweat is breaking out on his forehead, as if the nightmare of last night has not gone away.

He swept around blankly, and finally fixed his eyes on Li Shimin, but soon closed his eyes again.

"Father is fine, just sleepy, it's okay to take a rest, you all go down."

When the princes and princesses saw this, they could only say a few words of comfort, and then they retreated.

But after saying that these princes and princesses left, Li Yuan opened his eyes again, his eyes were slightly condensed, and a cloud of sadness appeared on his face.

Last night's dream, very strange, he only dreamed of blood, lots and lots of blood, that blood flowed from the palace to the outside of the palace, like a sea of blood, he stood on the pavilion of the palace, there was no one around, only endless night and blood.

It was like hell on earth, and he kept shouting, but no one responded.

He didn't know how he could have such a dream, and he didn't even dare tell anyone about it.

Or, in fact, he guessed a little bit of the situation, but he didn't want to believe it.

The battle for the throne, isn't that generation going to be bloodshed and sacrificed?

He felt that Li Shimin's people had been transferred away one after another recently, which made his heart a little uneasy, for fear that Li Shimin would do something drastic, so he couldn't sleep and had nightmares.

This is also the reason why he is watching Li Shimin today.

This son of his own, is not a peaceful person.

East Palace.

After Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace, he told Song Gongqing about the situation, and after finishing speaking, his face was nervous.

"This prince saw that his father's face was very bad, I don't know if he had seen the imperial doctor, what the situation was, his reaction today was also very wrong, as if he didn't want us to care too much about this matter."

Li Jiancheng was still very worried about his father, but Song Gongqing smiled indifferently: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Holy Lord's body or spirit is not good, it is a good thing for you, why should you worry?" ”

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's expression suddenly froze, and he shouted: "Presumptuous, my father is not in good health, how can it be considered a good thing for this prince, do I want to hope that my father will die?" ”

was reprimanded by Li Jiancheng, but Song Gongqing was not in a hurry, nor was he even afraid, he was completely fearless.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you think that if you take away those civil and military generals of the King of Qin, your position as crown prince will be stable? The Holy Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, as long as the Holy One is still on the throne, everything is possible, maybe when His Royal Highness the King of Qin will fight back, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you can be regarded as really stable, but you wait slowly, is it too late? ”

This is very rebellious, after Li Jiancheng heard it, he suddenly fell into contemplation, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that what Song Gongqing said was very reasonable.

His father is in the prime of life, and there is no problem in living for more than ten years, but in more than ten years, what cannot happen?

Li Shimin's people were just transferred, and maybe when the imperial court needed them, they would be transferred back.

At that time, what should I do?

Only when you sit on the throne will everything be a foregone conclusion.

Thinking about it, Li Jiancheng's eyebrows moved slightly, and his killing intent froze.

"Then in Mr. Song's opinion, what is this prince going to do?"

Song Gongqing took out a bag of things from his sleeve and said: "This medicine is called phantom powder, as long as you take a little, it will make it difficult for the saint to sleep, this thing is not poisonous, even the imperial doctor can't find out, over time, the saint's body will collapse, at that time, His Royal Highness the prince will ascend the throne, isn't it a matter of course?" ”

Hearing Song Gongqing say such a method, the crown prince Li Jiancheng suddenly hesitated again.

"Let Prince Ben think about it."

How could he bear to harm his father?

Song Gongqing is still not in a hurry here, he knows that in the face of the temptation of imperial power, Li Jiancheng will be tempted sooner or later, and he doesn't need to be persuaded because soon Li Jiancheng will agree to use phantom powder.

The struggle for imperial power has always started with bloodshed, and Datang will not be an exception.

Song Gongqing handed over the phantom powder to Li Jiancheng, and then bowed and retreated.

The East Palace soon quieted down, only the sound of water outside the Ziyu House rattled, and now the Ziyu House has become very popular among the powerful, and places like the East Palace will naturally not be less.

Li Jiancheng's hand holding the phantom powder trembled a little, and after a long time, he came to the window, the rain curtain outside the window fell from above, a cool feeling came to his face, and the automatic waterwheel made a creaking sound.

Li Jiancheng frowned for a moment, then dismantled the phantom powder that Song Gongqing handed over to him, and then poured all of them into the pool.

He really can't do it if he harms his father, even if he wants to be the emperor again, he still can't do it.

Not far away, Song Gongqing saw all this in the study of the East Palace, but after seeing this, he still only showed a shallow smile, and then continued to read the book.

The 7th is to ask for a reward for collecting recommended tickets
