After the death of Yang Wengan, Li Shimin and Zhao King Li Yuanba, Chai Shao, and Changsun Wuji joined the army in the city of Gyeongju, while appeasing the people, while holding a feast in the city, banqueting the civil and military officials in their camp, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba sat at the top, and Li Shimin and Li Yuanba's subordinates sat at the bottom. In the whole banquet, Li Shimin's subordinates were the most active, and the entire Guanzhong Longxi had been spread, because www.biquge.info of what Yang Wen did, His Royal Highness Li Jiancheng had lost Li Yuan's trust, and it was a matter of time before he was deposed, and among the four concubines born to Empress Taimu, His Royal Highness King Qin, who ranked second, was the popular candidate for the next prince's palace. It is difficult for Li Shimin's subordinates to be unhappy. Liu Wenjing took the wine glass and toasted to Li Shimin and Li Yuanba:

"His Royal Highness King Qin, no, it should be called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Prince! Liu Wenjing did this, and the people at the entire banquet stared at Liu Wenjing, and even Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, looked embarrassed. However, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, did not have anything when he arrived. I poured myself a glass of wine. After drinking it, Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, seemed to be infected by something, and knelt down directly to Li Shimin, the king of Qin:

"Brother Huang, this time you can quickly quell the rebellion of Yang Wengan, it all depends on your strategy of the second brother, now the eldest brother's position as the crown prince is shaky, and it must be the second brother who will take over the position of the prince! The younger brother used this glass of water and wine to toast the second brother first. As soon as Li Yuanba said this, coupled with Liu Wenjing's prior prompts, it was as if Li Shimin and Li Yuanba had discussed, whether it was the subordinates of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, or Li Yuanba's subordinates, as well as the local officials in Longxi, they all immediately came to Li Shimin, and under the leadership of Li Yuanba, they collectively paid homage to Li Shimin:

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Shimin's heart was overjoyed by such a scene. immediately ran in front of Li Yuanba and wanted to help Li Yuanba up:

"Fourth brother, what are you doing here? You must know that now that the eldest brother is still here, and the father has not issued an order, I am afraid it is not good for you to call me like this! Li Yuanba knelt in front of Li Shimin and said to Li Shimin with sincerity:

"Second brother, you have made great achievements for my Tang Dynasty, if the eldest brother is not because of his age, with the second brother's merits, this prince's crown should fall on your head the second brother. Now that the eldest brother is immoral, the position of the prince must be the second brother, in the future, the younger brother will do things under the eldest brother, the younger brother has always been reckless by nature, I hope the eldest brother will protect the younger brother more! Li Shimin had long been carried away by today's scene, flattering the people below one by one, as if he was about to become a prince. And Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Liu Zhenghui, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Yin Kaishan, Yu Shinan, Tang Jian, Chai Shao and others under Li Shimin, one by one, were full of red light, and they only thought in their hearts that when Li Shimin ascended the throne, he would rise to the top, and he would look like a high-ranking official, only the eldest grandson Wuji did not speak while drinking. After the news of Yang Wengan's pacification reached Renzhi Palace, Li Yuan issued a decree to let Li Shimin temporarily rest in the Gyeongju area for three days, and three days later, he returned to Beijing with Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, to receive the reward. After Li Shimin received Li Yuan's holy decree, he was happy again, as if he was about to become Li Tang's crown prince, and he could also become Li Tang's second emperor. On the day of returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba took their generals Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Liu Zhenghui, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Yin Kaishan, Yu Shinan, Tang Jian, Chai Shao, Hou Junji, Liang Shidu and the former Qingzhou Governor Shi Yan Deshou returned to Beijing together, all the way, to the outskirts of Chang'an, only to see that Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was already waiting at the west gate of Chang'an:

"Ahh Fourth brother, how long have you been waiting here? Li Yuanji said with a smile on his face to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanba, the king of Qi:

"Second brother, third brother is polite, junior brother, I am on the order of my father, I came here to greet the two." Li Shimin, the king of Qin, said with a smile:

"Oops! Father is so polite. Li Yuanji smiled in his heart - hum! I'm still thinking about being a prince! I don't know yet! The father had no intention of abolishing the crown prince at all. thought so in his heart, but Li Yuanji still said to Li Shimin with a smile on his face:

"Brother Huang is polite, my father is waiting for the two brothers in Renshou Palace! And the civil and military officials, the harem concubines all came, gathered in the main hall of Renshou Palace. It's just waiting for you and the third brother, you and the third brother hurry up! ”

"Oh! Is it? Li Shimin was happy in his heart! This proves that Li Jiancheng's abolition is a certainty. Immediately said to Li Yuanba, who was traveling with him, and Li Yuanji, who greeted him at the gate of the city:

"Third brother, fourth brother, let's go to Renshou Palace quickly!" Looking at Li Shimin's quick appearance and condescending tone, Li Yuanji's heart was funny - hum! You really thought you were going to be the crown prince! The king is waiting to see your jokes. Li Yuanba's heart was also uncomfortable, but there was always a strange feeling in his heart, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanji hurried to Renshou Palace, and when they walked into the main hall, they saw that the civil and military officials and all the clan relatives, as well as Li Yuan's harem concubines and the newly adult prince were also here, and although Li Jiancheng was still standing in the original position - the front of everyone, it looked like the whole person was a little haggard. Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng's back, and he was even more proud. Just when Li Shimin was having sexual immorality, the voice of the waning moon came:

"The emperor arrived, and everyone knelt down to greet him!"

"See the emperor, I wish the emperor all blessings and peace!" In the midst of everyone's mountain calls, Li Yuan walked slowly to the main hall and took a look. When I saw Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanji, the three brothers:

"Shimin, Yuanba, you have come back from Longxi, you have worked hard!" Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, but in front of Li Yuan, he didn't have any smug looks, and tried his best to be humble.

"Ahh Thanks to my father! The hard work of the sons and daughters is deserved. And Li Yuanba knew Li Shimin's personality in his heart, and knew that Li Shimin was now proud, so he didn't speak, only lowered his head. Li Yuan was supported by the remnant moon ginseng, and walked towards the dragon seat step by step, just when he was going up the steps, Li Yuan was stumbled, Li Shimin immediately ran up, ready to help Li Yuan, Li Yuan pushed Li Shimin's hand:

"The people of the world! As a prince, you should know the etiquette of the court, this is not the place for you to stay! Li Shimin was embarrassed by Li Yuan's words. Li Yuan didn't seem to see Li Shimin's face, and beckoned directly to Li Jiancheng:

"It's done! As the crown prince, why don't you know the etiquette system of the imperial court, I am old now, as a son of man, why don't you come to help me go up, come to my side to help me go up! Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuan's greeting, and immediately stepped forward to help Li Yuan, walked to the dragon chair step by step, and sat down. After Li Jiancheng helped Li Yuan to sit on the dragon chair, he was about to walk down and stand in the class, when Li Yuan grabbed Li Jiancheng:

"It's done! I'm getting older, and in the future, when I go to court, you'll stand by my side! Listen! As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, the civil and military officials and the royal relatives of the Li family heard it, and the officials and clan relatives belonging to the camp of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, panicked, and the people in the camp of the crown prince Li Jiancheng were all happy. The people of the Manchu Dynasty and the harem concubines talked a lot. Li Yuan glanced at the waning moon, and shouted loudly:

"Silence, silence!" Li Yuan waited until everyone calmed down, and then continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Li clan, and my wife and children, Yang Wengan's rebellion really worries me, and now, Yang Wengan's rebellion has been put down, and His Royal Highness King Qin and His Royal Highness King Zhao have made great contributions! Li Shimin, King of Qin, come forward and listen to the seal! Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because of Li Yuan's actions and attitude towards Li Jiancheng just now, and he felt sorry for himself in his heart! didn't agree, Li Yuan shouted again:

"Li Shimin, King of Qin, come forward and listen to the seal!" When Li Yuan shouted for the second time, Li Shimin was pulled by Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji beside him:

"Second brother, my father is calling you!" Li Shimin came to his senses and immediately left work:

"Father, the son is here!"

"O people! You put down the rebellion, you have made great contributions, I have named you the general of Tiance, and given the sword of the Son of Heaven, from now on, you are the second person in my Li Tang army, and you can conquer the Quartet on behalf of me, except for me, that is, the crown prince Li Jiancheng, you only need to say hello, you don't need to kneel and bow. In addition, I will give you the banner of the Son of Heaven and the chariot and horse, and the honor of Jiuxi, which you can use in the Luoyang area, the people! Are you satisfied with your reward? "Li Shimin is very uncomfortable in his heart - what kind of Tiance general, what kind of flag and chariot and horse, plus the respect of Jiuxi, why don't you make your son the prince, can't the son be the prince? But Li Shimin still buckled his head and thanked him!

"Son, thank you!" Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan shouted to Li Yuanba:

"Yuanba!" Li Yuanba promised:

"Father, the son is here!"

"Yuanba! You have worked very hard in Longxi, and now you have helped your second brother quell Yang Wengan's rebellion, and I have sealed 5,000 households in your food and rewarded you with a thousand gold, are you satisfied!? Li Yuanba verbally thanked him. Li Yuan continued:

"Shimin, Yuanba! If you put down Yang Wengan's rebellion this time, if you don't have your subordinate officials and generals, you won't be able to quell Yang Wengan's rebellion. You don't know anyone, Yang Wen is a wolf, you didn't even find out, I will punish you for one year, together with the imperial court's reward, and distribute it to the meritorious soldiers, in addition, after Shimin and Yuanba report the list of meritorious soldiers, you will be responsible for presiding over the sealing matters! Li Jiancheng nodded in obedience. Li Yuan nodded:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Li clan, and my wife and children, Yang Wengan's rebellion really makes me worried, and I often nag in front of the gods of heaven and earth, now, Yang Wengan's rebellion has been quelled, I have already asked Qin Tianjian, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, so tomorrow, I will take you to worship the heavens and tell the gods of heaven and earth, I, Li Tang, the rivers and mountains are stable, so that they can feel at ease!" The people obeyed. When Li Shimin came out of the main hall, not many people congratulated Li Shimin, on the contrary, they all congratulated Li Jiancheng in front of him:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is aware of everything, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been wronged, it is really gratifying!"

"Ugh! This is all the wisdom of the father. Looking at Li Jiancheng's proud appearance, Li Shimin's eyes were full of jealousy and anger.
