There was a sound of piercing through the air, Changsun Wuji waited until he found the incoming arrow, it was too late to avoid it.

"Pfft..."

With the sound of the sharp arrow piercing the flesh, the sharp arrow pierced into his lungs, Changsun Wuji opened his mouth and spit out a big mouthful of snow foam.

The eldest grandson Huai'an was so frightened that he didn't pay attention to this Tibetan from Xibei.

The Tibetans finally left thirty or forty corpses and a dozen wounded and exited the seven wells.

At dawn, Changsun Wuji died of his injuries.

……

When Chen Ying received the news, he was a little dumbfounded.He really wanted to kill Changsun Wuji, the scourge, but it was not easy to get rid of Changsun Wuji without implicating himself.

If political struggle is used, Chen Ying really can't play tricks on Sun Wuji, the patriarch, not to mention that he has won the trust and protection of Li Shimin, which is similar to Chen Ying at this time.

But he never thought that Changsun Wuji would leave alone, instead, the Tubo people found a chance to kill Changsun Wuji.

Since Changsun Wuji did not reveal his identity, the government of Yiwu City only dealt with it as an ordinary crime of robbery, captured Tubo who was unable to retreat due to injuries, interrogated the rest of their accomplices, and then, those who should be arrested and killed should be decapitated .

……

Li Yuan, who was in Chang'an, took the same simple and brutal treatment of Yang Wengan's rebellion under the prince's family. Yang Wengan was killed by his subordinates, and his three clans were punished.

No action was taken against Li Jiancheng.

Because Li Yuan is not stupid, although Yang Wenqian is Li Jiancheng's man, he is not the most capable person under Li Jiancheng's command. If Li Jiancheng wants to rebel, he will definitely join forces with Chen Ying, Feng Li, Li Shiji, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanren, Yu Chigong and others .

However, none of these people changed, nor did Li Jiancheng, not even the most basic preparations.

So Li Yuan didn't believe that Li Jiancheng would instigate Yang Wenqian to rebel and force him to abdicate and become emperor himself.If Li Jiancheng really had this idea, at least the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace should be transferred back to Chang'an to control the capital.

Li Shimin was very injured and spent a lot of energy, but he didn't get the result he wanted.

At this time, Chen Ying's memorial to return to Chang'an to visit his relatives arrived in front of the imperial court.

Li Yuan held Chen Ying's memorial, looked at Pei Ji and said, "Pei San, what do you think?"

Pei Ji said: "This is not the first time. Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and Li Shiji have requested to return to Beijing to report on their duties, and now Chen Concubine has requested to return to Beijing to visit his relatives. It is exactly the same!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "They are avoiding suspicion!"

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said: "Princess Pingyang came forward to ask Changsun Wuji to be the governor of the Western Regions. I'm afraid I didn't communicate with Chen Concubine beforehand. This move will be misunderstood by Chen Concubine!"

"misunderstanding?"

Li Yuan pondered and said: "You mean he is thinking that I am worried that I will be the king in the Western Regions and send my eldest grandson Wuji to divide his power?"

"Very likely!" Seeing that the water in Li Yuan's tea bowl was empty, Pei Ji picked up the teapot, filled Li Yuan with water, then handed the tea bowl to Li Yuan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, think about it, what happened to Yang Wenqian, all civil and military officials in the East Palace It is a human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages for fear of harming oneself, and it is reasonable for Chen Concubine to beg to return to Beijing at this time!"

Li Yuan said: "When Chen Ying comes back, can Changsun Wuji live in the western regions?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Pei Ji shook his head and said, "Changsun Wuji is at best a man of one prefecture and county, and it is already too much for him to govern a prefecture. There are nineteen prefectures in Xizhou Road, where Han and Hu live together, and there are constant entanglements. If there is no ability to cut it when it is right, it is not enough to appease the Western Regions, and last year the Tubo suffered a big loss, and this year they will not be in collusion with the Eastern Turks!"

Li Yuan smiled wryly and said: "Chen Ying has guarded the Western Regions for more than two years, and even his child has never met. If I don't allow him to go back to Chang'an to visit his relatives, it would be too unkind!"

Pei Ji still couldn't figure out what Li Yuan meant. If he agreed with Chen Ying to go back to Beijing to visit his relatives, it would definitely send a powerful signal to the court.

If the emperor is going to weaken the power of the prince, then the prince's line will be severely damaged, and the Qin king's line will surely be greatly strengthened.I am afraid that impeachment and frame-up will come like clouds.

In fact, looking at Tang officials from Pei Ji's point of view, there are very few clean buttocks.

If the East Palace suffers heavy losses, there will be great turmoil for the country.

East Turkistan is affected by drought, and it is inevitable that they will launch an offensive in winter.Once the Turks were hit by natural disasters, they would make up for it from the Central Plains Dynasty. This has been the law for thousands of years.

A stable court and a stable country are more important than anything else.

However, when it comes to national stability and the future of the country, Pei Ji does not express his opinions easily in this regard.He muttered: "Your Majesty means...?"

Li Yuan murmured: "Hou Mo Chen's family has few heirs, and Pingyang has only one child under his knees. The prince now has three sons and two daughters, and King Qin also has three sons. As a father, I can't favor one over another!"

When Pei Ji heard this, his heart sank.He felt that Li Yuan really wanted to agree to Chen Ying's return to Beijing.

The point is that Chen Ying can't come back now.

When Chen Ying was in the Western Regions, he could watch the Western Turks from the west and deter Tubo from the south. Once the Eastern Turks moved south, Chen Ying could also send out surprise troops from Jinshan to copy the back route of the Eastern Turks.

The key is that Changsun Wuji is not material for guarding the Western Regions at all.Once Chen Ying came back, unless Li Jing or Li Xiaogong were pushed up, things would only get worse.

Pei Ji gritted his teeth, even if he offended Li Yuan, he couldn't let Li Yuan do this foolish trick.

At this moment, Li Yuan murmured: "Chen Ying can't come back, then let Pingyang go to the Western Regions!"

"Pingyang to the Western Regions!" Pei Ji's eyes froze.

Now that Chen Ying is in power, because of Yang Wengan's change, there are rumors that Chen Ying may rebel.If you followed the practice of ancient kings, it would be natural to detain his weak son as a hostage, but Li Yuan did the opposite. Do you think Chen Ying might rebel?I even sent his son to him!

Pei Ji came to his senses and asked Pingyang to take the youngest son to the Western Regions, because Princess Pingyang would never sit back and watch Chen Ying rebel. Of course, it is more likely that the rumors about Chen Ying and the prince's rebellion will be destroyed in an instant!

Li Yuan smiled and said: "The husband and wife have lived apart in two places for a long time. I will not be such a bad guest. Now I go to the Western Regions. Although the road is a little bit hard, Pingyang is a person who has endured hardships. Naturally, she is not afraid. Maybe in order to meet the son-in-law, she Happy to do so!"

PS: Two updates and eight thousand words are here today!I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Lao Cheng will not rest, and will continue to update tomorrow.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Li Xiuning in Changing Chapter [-]

Pei Ji heaved a sigh of relief, the current situation in Datang is like a child's poor self-esteem, the slightest touch will affect the whole body.

Because of Yang Wengan's case, although Li Yuan did not deal with Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng became the target of public criticism.Advocating the abolition of the prince and the replacement of the king of Qin also has a great market in the court.

Especially those officials who usually don't have much sense of presence want to use this method to show their sense of presence.Anyway, they are all sitting on the bench now, and the worst result is nothing but dismissal.Few of the officials in this era depended on their salaries to live on. All of them came from wealthy families. They lived with those salaries, and it was the same without those salaries.

Although there were certain risks for them to do so, they were sure that Li Jiancheng was not a narrow-minded person. This is the so-called honest person who is easy to bully.

During this period of time, Pei Ji received no less than twenty letters and bullets every day, and Prince Li Jiancheng followed the story to evade the throne by citing crimes and thanking guests behind closed doors in the East Palace for more than ten days.However, the Tang Dynasty is different from other dynasties. The founding emperors of all dynasties were full of energy.It's good for now, Li Yuan always likes to drink and have fun, government affairs are all handled by Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng is not doing anything, which makes Pei Ji worry.

Although Li Yuan kept the impeachment of Li Jiancheng unpublished, these officials became more and more excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.In desperation, Pei Ji had no choice but to promote Liu Deyu to the Minister of Dali Temple, and Quan Wanji was promoted to be the secretary and censor.

However, neither of them thanked Donggong, so that people misunderstood that Liu Deyu and Quan Wanji were promoted because they changed families.In the officialdom, there is never a shortage of people who want to be satisfied, and there are also people who impeach the prince's subordinates for crimes, corruption and bribery, and various crimes in order to gain success.

Because the prince was impeached, he couldn't manage the council, and Li Yuan didn't have the energy to take care of it. There were too many neglected government affairs, and Pei Ji was suffering.He knew the nature of this good friend.

Pei Ji smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Literati are more tactful, and when tactful to the extreme, it becomes hypocrisy.Pei Ji also has no other choice, a companion is like a companion tiger, with one careless move, everything will be lost.So, don't look at Li Yuan's caring for him, even the concubine does not shy away from him, and even compares his masculinity with Pei Ji.
