As the year continued, the killing of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's children gradually spread in Chang'an City.

When Wei Zheng heard the news, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

As the crown prince, he still has an impression of Li Jiancheng's children, and he also likes those children.

He thought that Li Shimin was broad-minded and should be able to spare the lives of those children.

But now it seems that he is still too naïve.

How could Li Shimin let these hidden dangers continue to remain?

Wei Zheng was a little sad and a little angry.

But after a long time, he still let himself endure it.

Although he is now a speech official, it does not mean that he can really say anything, he can regulate some of Li Shimin's behaviors and some governing principles, but politically, he cannot intervene.

Now, if he stands up to speak for these children, or arrests the murderer, then Li Shimin is likely to turn his face and deny people.

The words of the emperor are true, and it is true if they don't count.

Wei Zheng is still clear about this.

And once a person survives, let him die, it is somewhat lacking in courage.

Wei Zheng didn't say anything about the killing of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's children, and even he didn't seem to know about it.

Now he is already working in the Imperial Historical Observatory, but he is only busy with the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

As if, he was no longer him.

The New Year passed like this, and the day after the end of the annual leave, Li Shimin's canonization ceremony began.

Because it was in such a period, the canonization ceremony was relatively simple, and Li Shimin really, officially became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty in a hurry.

On the first day of becoming the crown prince, Li Shimin summoned the eldest grandson Wuji in the side hall.

"Auxiliary, now Xue Wanche and the others in the East Palace are still absconding, we must arrest them back as soon as possible, either kill them or force them to surrender."

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, your subordinates have already sent someone to do it, but in the eyes of your subordinates, it is more useful to recruit them than to kill them." ”

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"First of all, Xue Wanche and others are also fierce generals, now my Datang border is uneasy, there are Turks in the north, Tuyuhun in the west, Dangxiang and Tubo, etc., in this case, our Datang is the time to employ people, if Xue Wanche can surrender, my Datang is even stronger, and then there is, these people are Li Jiancheng's cronies, if they are willing to surrender to His Royal Highness the Prince, it can show His Royal Highness the Prince's mind, and others can be more assured."

If even people like Xue Wanche surrendered, those who were close to the East Palace would naturally be more relieved, they didn't have to worry about being criticized and called traitors, and they could also see Li Shimin's broad mind, and they would devote themselves more hard to the construction of Datang.

In the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, at this time, the Tang Dynasty did not need to suppress those dissidents through bloody means, but they could use anyone who surrendered and who was useful to the Tang Dynasty.

After listening to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin nodded: "This prince even uses someone like Wei Zheng, and he is still worried about Xue Wanche?" Well, as long as they are willing to surrender, this prince will be reused, but if they have any different intentions, don't blame this prince for being ruthless. ”

------------------

Just after the New Year, it was still cold outside, and a heavy snowfall that had just fallen not long ago showed no signs of melting.

A fast horse hurried into the Turkic barracks.

"Urgent, urgent, His Majesty Khan, there is an urgent report......"

After the Turkic prince rushed in, no one dared to stop him, and it didn't take long for the spies to enter the tent of the Turkic army.

In the Great Tent, Jieli Khan was discussing the situation with some tribal leaders and officials, and the arrival of spies interrupted what they had just discussed.

Jieli Khan was not angry, because in war, news is always the most important, so he had an order, but whenever a spy came to report, he could report it directly without a pass.

"What's the urgency?"

"Your Majesty Khan, before the New Year, there was a change in the Xuanwu Gate in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin set up an ambush in the palace, killed the prince of the Tang Dynasty Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, and then forced the palace Li Yuan, and now Li Shimin is already the prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Prince?" After hearing the news, Jieli Khan and other tribal leaders felt very strange, it stands to reason that since Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and forced Li Yuan, then he should be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty now, right, why did he try so hard to save it, but he only needed a prince?

"Yes, the current Li Shimin is indeed the crown prince, but although he is the crown prince, he has already controlled all the military power in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, and everything big and small is managed by Li Shimin."

After the spy finished speaking, Jieli Khan's brows condensed slightly, and then he snorted: "This Li Shimin is really calculating, he wants to be a slut, and he wants to set up a chastity archway, kill people, force the palace, and want people to think that he ascended the throne according to orthodoxy?" It's ridiculous. ”

Jieli Khan had already seen through Li Shimin's tricks.

"Is there chaos in Datang?"

"There was only a commotion for a while, but now it is calm."

Jieli Khan's expression moved slightly, although Li Shimin postponed his ascension to the throne, he ensured the stability of the Tang Dynasty, this move was wonderful.

"It seems that we still underestimate Li Shimin, he can be so forbearing, he is really the biggest enemy of our Turks in the future."

Jieli Khan thought that Li Shimin's approach was Li Shimin's own decision, so he thought that Li Shimin was difficult to deal with, but after saying this, Jieli Khan still laughed: "However, even so, I think Datang has been in a very tense state, at least a little stimulation, it is possible to collapse instantly, Li Shimin forced the palace, can those vassal kings endure it?" ”

"What does His Majesty Khan mean?"

"Winter has passed, soon the warm spring will come, and our opportunity to attack Lingzhou will also come, this time, the Datang I want to fight is torn apart."

Jieli Khan is very confident, as long as Li Shimin can't control the Tang Dynasty, the vassal kings of all walks of life are afraid that they will have to find an opportunity to go to Chang'an Qinwang, and they will attack Chang'an City under the banner of supporting Li Yuan.

That is, the Tang Dynasty will be chaotic, and they Turks can also take the opportunity to make a profit.

"Attack Datang, attack Datang ......"

Hearing this, the tribal leaders in the big tent quickly became excited, they had already coveted the richness of the Tang Dynasty, and this time, they must plunder it fiercely.

Of course, they also have to avenge the defeat in Lingzhou last time, although it was not Li Shimin who led the troops that time, but it was indeed because of Li Shimin's action that led to their defeat.

"Attack Datang, attack Datang ......"

Everyone shouted loudly, and Jieli Khan suddenly waved his hand to stop: "Okay, let's discuss the next steps......
