862 Soldiers

Finally, two days ago, Zhen Mingku sent someone to deliver a letter, and after reading it, he made up his mind and gambled.

He bet that Zhen would win the battle.

As for what Zhen Mingku will do with him after victory, he can only pray, praying that Zhen Mingku, who is a trustworthy person, will let him atone for his sins.

When he was in the Turks, Zhen Mingku once let him go, which made him feel that although Zhen Mingku was a treacherous person, at least he was not a villain who turned his face and didn't recognize people.

Li Yuan is different, he not only killed Emperor Gong Yang Yu who gave way to him, killed Li Mi who came to take refuge in him, and killed Dou Jiande, who was willing to be a vassal to him, but what is even more terrifying is that even his classmates for many years, Liu Wenjing's family, a veteran who has made contributions to Li Tang, have also been killed.

For Li Yuan, the apparent magnanimity is just an expedient measure to win the hearts and minds of the people, once the throne is secured, these people have betrayed him, and the old Sui generals who he regarded as the slaves of the three surnames will be eradicated one by one.

I believe that it will not be long before the Jianghuai Army is under the control of the Tang Army, and the generals of the Jianghuai Army will not end well, it is only a matter of time.

Dividing and dividing has historically been the most common method used by these emperors.

He Feng Lun has never been loyal at all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and what he is accustomed to is to see the wind and rudder, and to see the stitches, this is the secret of his ability to stand tall in the officialdom, but this method is not used well, and if it is discovered by the master, the end will not be too good, at least the current Li Yuan has not found out.

Zhen Mingku knows his roots, but he still keeps his life, just because of this. Zhen is kinder than Li Yuan.

This is also the main reason why he finally chose to bet on Zhen Mingku.

"Lord Feng, the emperor summoned you, please."

……

Entered the palace. Seeing Li Yuan, Feng Lun immediately discovered that Li Yuan's mood was wrong, and from what Zhen Mingku said on the envelope given to him, Li Yuan estimated that he was already suspicious of Li Jiancheng this time, so he sent him this fire.

Thinking of this, he once again shuddered at Zhen Yuan's methods, and he couldn't even have the slightest idea of telling Li Yuan. According to what Zhen Mingku explained, he told Li Yuan one by one.

What was said was how Li Jiancheng tricked Li Shimin into the prince's mansion that day. set up a banquet to entertain and poison the wine, and Li Shimin returned to the house and was poisoned and vomited three liters of blood.

Li Yuan listened, his face cloudy. His eyes became more and more vicious. can sit on today's throne, his temperament is comparable to those who are benevolent to women, and at the critical moment, his means of killing are more decisive than anyone else.

A cold light flashed in his eyes: "Lord Feng, do you know what you are talking about now?" ”

Regardless of whether what Feng Lun said is true or false, Feng Lun is dead, if Feng Lun is telling a lie, it is a deception. Ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for his sins; If Feng Lun is telling the truth, it is also a betrayal of the master. It is not a pity for the seller to seek glory.

Feng Lun knelt on the ground, prostrate on the ground, and trembled in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, even if the minister has a hundred guts, he will not dare to deceive the emperor, it is really because this matter is too important, although the minister is favored by the prince, he does not dare to deceive the emperor about this matter, it is really because he can't bear to see the two princes killing each other, so he asked the emperor to come forward to stop it......"

"That's why the people of the world are bedridden?"

"The minister does not dare to deceive the emperor, every sentence is true, if the emperor does not believe it, he can ask the king of Qin to come and ask, the king of Qin is only because of his scruples about brotherhood, he does not want to alarm the emperor, the prince is to protect the position of the prince, so he makes this decision......"

Li Yuan's heart was cold when he heard it, thinking of the rumors spread by the eunuchs in the palace before, as well as the panicked expression of Concubine Zhang Guifei, and thinking of when Emperor Wen of Sui was alive, Yang Guang showed diligence and thrift, and loved the people like a son, but before Emperor Wen of Sui died, Yang Guang hugged his beloved concubine in front of his hospital bed and was angry to death, these are all lessons from the past.

He paced back and forth on the steps, his expression uncertain, sometimes cold, sometimes tangled and hesitant......

Finally, he gritted his teeth, "I will pass on the King of Qin to enter the palace to see me, if he doesn't come, don't go to the palace to see me in this life!" ”

He glanced at Feng Lun, who was trembling on the ground, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, this person, he is not in a hurry to kill, the teacher is unknown, and he will kill a third-grade master casually, I am afraid that it will cause criticism among the ministers in the court, and he has time to clean up this kind of dog slave who sells his master for glory, don't let him catch the slightest problem.

……

"Li Shimin" entered the palace with the help of several guards.

Li Yuan's pale face made Li Yuan look at it, and he believed Feng Lun's words again.

"Shimin, you're getting better."

"Back to my father, my life is worry-free, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to recover to before, I don't know what is important for my father to summon his sons into the palace?"

"If I ask a question, you answer honestly."

"Yes, Erchen doesn't dare to hide it."

Li Yuan stared at him and asked word by word, "Is your illness poisoned by your eldest brother?" ”

"Li Shimin" was shaken violently, his face changed greatly, if it weren't for a few guards around him, he would have collapsed to the ground this time.

Li Yuan's eyes shed old tears, and the look on "Li Shimin's" face had already told him.

"Why, why! It's not enough for me, what more do you want! My world, my women, you all want it, what is left of me! ”

"Li Shimin" knelt down with a puff, "The sons deserve to die!" The father takes care of the dragon body, the son never thought about what he wanted from the father, the life of the son was given by the father, the father gave enough food and clothing for the people of the world for a lifetime, how dare he expect more, this matter is not to blame the eldest brother, it is all blamed on the son for not being able to solve the doubts in the eldest brother's heart, and the son is willing to retire. ”

"You kid, why are you so stupid! You stupid, you still drink poisonous wine! ”

"Li Shimin" whimpered and cried, "The eldest brother doesn't miss the love of brothers, but the people don't dare to ignore the common thing, so they can only drink it, and become the eldest brother, blame me for being the son of the emperor at the same time as the eldest brother in this life, the ancient sigh is both bright and bright He Shengyu, and now the sons also sigh that they are both born and the eldest brothers, why have me, the sons really don't want to compete with the eldest brother for the throne, and they don't want to make the father worry, so they can only make this decision, I only hope that the eldest brother will inherit the throne in the future, and can remove the vigilance against the people......"

"The throne, the throne! My throne, he doesn't want to think! ”

Li Yuan was so angry that he pulled out the sword in his hand, cut the dragon case in two, and scattered the chapters and chapters all over the ground, and even the jade seal fell out of the box, rolled down the steps with a grunt, and landed beside "Li Shimin".

"Come on, immediately tie up that beast and enter the palace to see me!"

…………

In the prince's mansion, a guard rushed into Li Jiancheng's house in a panic.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good, the palace sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the King of Qin complained to the emperor, saying that the prince you secretly had an affair with the concubines in the palace and poisoned him, and the emperor asked you to enter the palace immediately to confront the King of Qin."

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he collapsed to the ground in fright.

When Wei Zheng saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, so as to prevent him from embarrassing himself in front of his subordinates, retreated, helped him up and sat on the chair, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the matter is over, don't panic, calm down and think about it, King Qin, he complained to the emperor at this time, and he was obviously planning to let the emperor abolish your crown prince position and make him the prince, if you rush into the palace at this time, it is exactly what he wants......"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng grabbed a life-saving straw, held Wei Zheng's hand tightly, and asked, "Master Wei, what should I do now?" ”

Wei Zheng was silent for a moment, his brows were tightly locked, and he said with a solemn face: "The minister has a word, I am afraid that it is a bit rebellious to say it, but the situation is critical, so I can only make this decision and ask the prince to forgive the minister's sin." ”

"Just say it, as long as you can solve the disaster in front of me, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious, very meritorious!"

Wei Zheng only said two words: "Soldier's advice." ”

Li Jiancheng's color changed, although this kind of thing flashed in his mind, but he was taught under Li Yuan's knees since he was a child, and he has always been respectful and fearful of Li Yuan, Li Yuan is heaven to him, and he is a majestic father, and any thoughts of disrespect to him are nipped in the bud by himself as soon as they arise.

Now that he has been cornered, and someone is instigating him from the side, a bad thought in his heart can no longer be suppressed.

It's just that he is still hesitating, hesitating, with his current prestige, how can he instigate soldiers to besiege the imperial city.

Seeing the hesitant look on his face, Wei Zheng guessed what he was worried about, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, this time it is called a soldier's advice, in fact, it is just to let the army secretly guard against accidents, you only need to bring a few people into the palace to confront the King of Qin, and the people you bring must be able to speak in front of the emperor, the queen mother, Lord Pei Lian, the king of Hejian, the king of Qi, if you can win them over, even if the emperor knows that you poisoned the king of Qin, he can't do anything to you, wait out of the palace and ambush the soldiers on the left and right, Kill King Qin in one sentence, even if the emperor wants to abolish your crown prince, as long as there is no successor, the emperor will not dare to do so. ”

Li Jiancheng was silent for a long time, gradually calmed down, raised his head for a long time, and stared at Wei Zheng: "Isn't there still Yuanji?" ”

Wei Zheng felt a chill in his heart, he just asked Li Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin, but he didn't expect Li Jiancheng to want to kill Li Yuanji as well, and he would be able to avoid future troubles.

"The ministers don't dare to discuss this matter, everything is decided by His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Jiancheng's eyes sometimes flashed with ferocity, sometimes he became hesitant and struggling, and then gritted his teeth, "Wei Junshi, according to what you said, if this matter is successful, I will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, and I will make you the left servant." ”

"Thank you prince, I'll talk about this later, the most important thing at the moment is to encircle the King of Qi and the King of Hejian, with the support of the two of them, the chances of winning have greatly increased."

The two discussed the details again, and after about half an hour, Wei Zheng took Li Jiancheng's handwritten letter to him, with the prince's seal on it, left the prince's mansion, got into a carriage, and rushed in the direction of the garrison of Chang'an City.

After Wei Zheng left, a sentry came out of a residential building a few hundred meters away, took the telescope in his hand, rode a war horse, and flew away. (To be continued......)
