Chapter 224: Brothers Fight

Li Shimin took Li Mi's head and returned to Chang'an with Sheng Yanshi, and Li Yuan saw Li Mi's head:

"Good! All right! Shimin, you have done a good job. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Shimin hurriedly replied:

"Enlighten the Emperor! This matter is not the work of the ministers, but the credit of Sheng Yanshi, the deputy general of Xiongzhou. ”

"Master Sheng Yan? That's a familiar name! Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Qi Qi father, Sheng Yanshi was originally Li Mi's old department, and later Li Mi was defeated, and he and Zhang Shanxiang defected to our dynasty together, and their father asked them to be stationed in Xiongzhou to prevent Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande." Listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan's brows furrowed. Li Shimin understood in his heart that Li Jiancheng said this in order to highlight the identity of Sheng Yanshi's general, so as not to prevent Li Shimin from using this credit to make Li Yuan reuse Sheng Yanshi.

"Father! Li Mi's previous behavior was perverse, and he had betrayed his relatives, and he also killed his former closest Wang Bodang in his escape, which proved that his mind had gone crazy, and it was the heavens that wanted to destroy him, and Master Sheng Yan was just doing the right thing for the heavens. Li Shimin deliberately accentuated the four words for Tianxingdao, and secretly slapped Li Yuan on the back. And Li Jiancheng heard that Wang Bodang was killed.

"What? Shimin, Wang Bodang was killed. ”

"Yes! The eldest brother, according to the younger brother's pursuit, Wang Bodang's body was found in the Bear's Ear Mountain near Xiongzhou, according to the investigation, there were no scars on his body, and the fatal injury was pierced by a sword in the back, which should be caused by a sneak attack from behind, and Li Mi originally said to Sheng Yanshi that they encountered an assassin sneak attack on the road, even if he Wang Bodang's martial arts are good, as the saying goes, the evil tiger is difficult to defeat the wolves, it is impossible to have no scars at all, it can only be that Li Mi sneak attacked in the back and killed him. Therefore, the sons thought that we should publicize the news of Li Mi's death with great fanfare, first of all, when he was in power, he did not sympathize with the soldiers, and only favored the villain, which was unkind, and he threw himself into the queen of our dynasty and intended to rebel, because he was disloyal, and he killed Wang Bodang, a confidant who had followed him for many years, and it was unjust. And reward and reuse Master Sheng Yanshi, please ask your father to decide. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he secretly looked at Li Jiancheng with provocative eyes, but Li Jiancheng didn't care about Li Shimin's gaze, as if the whole person was immersed in grief, Li Yuan and Li Shimin both felt strange:

"Built! What are you thinking? ”

"Father! Erchen felt sorry in his heart, that Wang Bo was a god-like arrow, rare in the world, but he died under Li Mi's sword, and Erchen felt worthless for him. If he dies in the matter of opening up the territory for the Ming Lord, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Li Jiancheng said this, and Li Yuan did not suspect anything else.

"Since you two brothers have no other ideas, I will make a decree 。。。。。" Before Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Jiancheng cut off:

"Father! The sons asked their father to bury Li Mi and Wang Bodang. Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart was unhappy.

"What? Do you want a thick burial? Say, what do you mean exactly? ”

"Father, the son is still those words at the beginning, that Li Mi was once the head of a generation of anti-kings, the world is watching, now my Tang Dynasty has not yet dominated the world, if the enemy knows that my dynasty killed Li Mi because of an adultery that cannot be put on the table, it will be a huge scandal for my dynasty, and when pacifying Wang Shichong and Liu Wuzhou, they will feel that we are narrow-minded and cannot tolerate people, the ancient saying still has the saying that the trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention the people, and there are many old departments in Li Mi, not only Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, There are also a lot of people in my Tang army, and the Guan Longshi clan and the Li Mi family also have many in-laws, this is my Tang internal worry, the Central Plains has a group of heroes in the country, and there are Turkic, Tubo and other foreign races in the Western Regions eyeing each other, this is an external trouble, if I want to have long-term peace and stability, we must quickly quell the chaos, and then resist foreign insults, we must be suffocated from this time, and we cannot be contaminated. Ask your father to decide. Li Jiancheng's words were very reasonable, even Li Shimin felt that he was about to be persuaded by Li Jiancheng, but he was unwilling to let Li Jiancheng be in the limelight, so he stepped forward to persuade Li Yuandao:

"Father, the son thinks that there is an ancient saying, killing people and establishing authority, since ancient times to seize the power of the world, where there is no killing, only by killing to stop killing, can the war be quelled, think that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world, Liu Bang ordered to cut off Xiang Yu's head to reward a thousand gold, and his subordinates will be divided in order to compete for Xiang Yu's body, and there is no corpse, and now we just cut off his head, just to deter other careerists, so that they don't want to be delusional, against my Tang Dynasty. Ask your father to decide. Li Yuan looked at his two sons:

"Wanyue, General Xuan Shengyan is here!" The father-in-law of the waning moon replied:

"Yes! The emperor has a decree, General Xuan Shengyan will meet you! Sheng Yanshi walked in and knelt in front of Li Yuan:

"Master Sheng Yan sees my emperor, I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me! Flat! Hahaha! Li Yuan saw Sheng Yanshi's dignified appearance and praised a few words:

"General Sheng's appearance is good, I appreciate it very much. In addition, I appreciate General Sheng's friendship with the old master, Master Li Mi went out to Beijing to do business, met an assassin on the way, and was rescued by General Sheng, who knew that he was accidentally plotted by the rivers and lakes, and died in Huangquan, I was very heartbroken! General Sheng has a meritorious service in saving Lord Li, and I will crown you as the Duke of Ge Guo and give you a mansion. And I heard that those Jianghu Xiaoxiao still wanted to seek revenge on General Sheng, so I said that the general should not return to Xiongzhou, and stay in Chang'an, I didn't believe it. Those little ones can still make trouble in front of me. ”

"Your Majesty! Minister...... Sheng Yanshi was about to speak, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and Sheng Yanshi immediately thanked him!

"Hmmm! General Sheng, you're fine, let's go down first! After Sheng Yanshi left, Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng:

"It's done! Xing Guogong bowed to the essence of my court, and after he died, you will preside over his funeral in place of your father, don't make the ministers feel at ease! Li Jiancheng heard what Li Yuan secretly meant.

"Father and emperor don't worry, sons understand." Li Shimin felt that he had tried his best, but he was still in the limelight by Li Jiancheng, and his hatred for Li Jiancheng became even stronger.
