Li Yuan said coldly: "You mean...your old father broke his promise by breaking his promise?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan with disappointment and sadness in his eyes.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Father, my son didn't mean that. My son just wanted to ask. It's obvious that your old man has repeatedly promised and your son has repeatedly resigned, but Father, from the beginning to the end, what is your point?" The old man doesn't know, why even you - have begun to suspect and jealous of your son?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but blush, speechless.

He really couldn't say it out loud. Of course, he said these promises, but they were just for Li Shimin to fight Li Jiancheng. In this way, he was really safe.He painted cakes in front of Li Shimin again and again, the purpose was to create pressure on Li Jiancheng. Back then when Taiyuan raised troops, with Li Yuan's suspicious nature, he really didn't make up his mind to rebel. The critical moment was when Li Jiancheng sent Lei Yongji to kill him. Wang Wei and Li Yuan had no way out, so they raised the banner of rebellion, vowing to stand against the former Sui Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng's contribution is well-deserved first, but Li Yuan has forgotten that people will always grow up.At the beginning, Li Shimin didn't believe that he could replace Li Jiancheng. What's more, at that time, Li Tang's court was shocked three times a day.

But as time went by, more and more ministers of civil and military affairs surrounded Li Shimin, and everyone formed an alliance of interests with Li Shimin, and the two sides worked together to finally create the current situation.

In good conscience, the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was facilitated by Li Yuan alone. Up to now, he has not realized that the situation has gone beyond Li Yuan's control.

Li Shimin's eyes were red, and his voice became more and more difficult and sad: "If you say that your son, in front of father all day long, framed and slandered elder brother, and urged father to change the crown prince and establish the crown prince, then father will be suspicious of son and seek the big position. But father knew that his son and eldest brother might have disputes over military and political affairs, but his son never said anything against his elder brother in front of father! His son never said that he wanted to be the crown prince and would inherit it in the future. My lord, every time it is daddy who is talking, why in the end, daddy used this as an excuse to suspect and make things difficult for his son..."

Li Yuan frowned tightly, not knowing how to respond.

With tears in his eyes, Li Shimin slowly knelt down in front of Li Yuan, and said sadly: "My son's life was given by father. Now, my son would rather die in father's hands, and no matter what, he would not die in the hands of father." In the hands of my own brother. If he died in the hands of the elder brother and the fourth younger brother, the son would have died in vain."

Li Yuan asked in surprise: "Where did you start with this? Although Jiancheng was wary of you, he never had the intention of killing you. Last time in the Donggong Poison Wine case, I concluded that It wasn't your elder brother's doing. As long as you can restrain yourself and keep your courtiers' principles, no one will come to harm you. Besides, I have already allowed you to lead my troops out of Luoyang, where Chen Ying has been operating for many years, and now the people are rich , the tax burden is sufficient, and with Zhao Junwang as the Ping Fan, no one can harm you. Erlang, among the brothers, your talent is worthy of a great responsibility, but the status of the monarch and his ministers has been determined. In this matter, speaking of it , I betrayed you, but I didn't do anything about Jiancheng and Yuanji."

"Since this is the case, time is fate, and my son has nothing to say!" At this point, Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Father, there is one more thing... dare not say...

Li Yuan looked up at Li Shimin and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Shimin lowered his voice and said: "It's about the harem."

Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "What about the harem? Tell me, and I will forgive you for your innocence."

Li Shimin said in anticipation of Ai Ai: "In order to seize the great treasure, the crown prince, together with King Qi, secretly had an affair with Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieshu, and there is... something to do!"

Li Yuan stood up suddenly in horror, gritted his teeth and growled: "If you dare to spread rumors, I will kill you..."

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan without flinching and said, "If I tell a half-truth, I am willing to be punished. Moreover, I dare to confront the Crown Prince and the King of Qi!"

Li Yuan couldn't stand upright, staggered and fell to the ground.

Li Shimin hurried forward and helped Li Yuan up.

Li Yuan's face was pale, and he roared hysterically: "Come on!"

The waiter in the yellow gate hurried in.

Li Yuan trembled and said, "I pass on the imperial decree, ordering Qi Wang Yuanji to establish a relationship with the crown prince, and enter the palace immediately! Immediately..."

……

But Li Jiancheng did not return to the East Palace. After all, with him, "Taibai looks on the side of the sun and is seen in the east, and the prince should have the world." Li Jiancheng can't wait to be the emperor and sit down in the world.

Although Chen Ying is not often in Chenjiabao, there are a large number of books in Chenjiabao, and there are quite a lot of unique books and manuscripts, which makes Li Jiancheng seem to be swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and he reads tirelessly every day.

In Chen Ying's study, Li Jiancheng pointed to an article written by Chen Ying and asked: "You wrote in this article that there are two major difficulties in solving the problem of the Western Regions and Mobei. Abolish the force of the nation? Can the martial arts of this barbaric nation be abolished?"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "The greatest advantage of barbarians over China lies in their bravery, physical strength, and fighting for life. Compared with barbarism, physical strength, and fighting for life, the civilized world always suffers. The greatest advantage of the civilized world lies in tools. Of course, the distance of this lead must be widened to the point where the opponent cannot compete without entering civilization. Even so, the premise of all this must be that we can still maintain our bravery in battle, and if we lose our bravery, If you don’t even dare to go to the battlefield, then no matter how great your weapon advantage is, it’s useless.”

Li Jiancheng thought: "Then what if the other party is also close to learning?"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "The competition between civilized countries and civilized countries is another topic. However, if Mobei can enter civilization, that will be what we in Tang Dynasty look forward to most."

Successfully abolishing the martial arts of the barbaric peoples is what the Song Dynasty really did. At that time, the Liao Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was weak, and the Song Dynasty was forced to be in a strategic defensive position. In a country like the Northern Song Dynasty, they like luxury goods and the poems and songs of the Great Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu can write an article, and it can be spread all over Beijing in half a month at most. Similarly, delicious food that appears in Tokyo can be sold in the capital within less than a month. See.

The scholar-officials in the Northern Song Dynasty just liked to bring the enemy down to the same level as them, and then use their rich experience to defeat them, so the Liao Kingdom was ruined.

When Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng were discussing the matter, Guo Luo suddenly came to report: "There is a Huangmen here to pass the decree!"

Not long after, the servant of the Huangmen came down to the study led by Guo Luo, and Li Jiancheng took over the edict from the servant of the Huangmen.The content of the edict is very simple, it is to let Li Jiancheng enter the palace early the next morning.

This endless decree made Li Jiancheng puzzled, he frowned and asked Huangmen, "Has your Majesty ever said anything?"

The attendant in the yellow gate shook his head and said: "I don't know, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the palace. Tomorrow morning, His Royal Highness, don't forget the face-to-face."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Please don't worry, the widow was ordered to enter the palace early in the morning."

The servant in the yellow gate turned and left.

Just as the servant of the Huangmen was about to go out, Chen Ying stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute!"

Huang Men obviously knew Chen Ying, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "What orders does Madam Chen have?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying in surprise, wondering what Chen Ying's purpose was.

Chen Ying asked with a smile: "Dare to ask what kind of job your father-in-law holds?"

"I don't dare to be a father-in-law, but a maidservant is Taiji palace secretary!" Huang Men said with a bow.

Chen Ying waved at him.

Huang Men hurried forward, and said with a low eyebrow, "Dare to ask what orders the son-in-law has!"

Chen Ying said indifferently: "You should know about the relationship between Zhongchang Attendant Chen Qi and Eunuch Chen and a certain family!"

Huang Men said with a smile all over his face: "Our family has long heard the godfather often mentioning that Concubine Chen is a kind person!"

Chen Ying took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom, all of them were big bills with a denomination of one hundred guan. , King Qin entered the palace to see you, and then His Majesty was furious, and it is said that Concubine Yin De was also slapped by His Majesty, and told His Highness the Crown Prince to be careful when he meets you tomorrow morning, His Majesty is very angry..."

Li Jiancheng just felt strange when he heard it, but Chen Ying's ears set off a huge wave when he heard this.

Because the introduction of the Xuanwumen Incident was that Li Shimin told Li Yuan that the king of Qi and the crown prince were promiscuous and messed up the harem, and Li Yuan let Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng enter the palace in a rage, but met Li Shimin's ambush, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed on the spot. And Li Shimin won the world.

Just imagine, if Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji really fornicated Li Yuan's harem, then there must be records in history, but there are no records of this matter in many official histories. Sima Guang who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" It also said that this matter was "unknown".

In fact, although Li Yuan was the founding emperor, he was not a hard-working emperor. Since the fourth year of Wude, his main energy was to balance the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Pei Ji drank and had fun all day long.

During Li Yuan and Pei Ji's drinking and having fun, Yin Defei and Zhang Jieshu were usually the companions. Not only did Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have no chance, but Li Yuan was not sexually dysfunctional. He gave birth to a bunch of younger brothers and sisters to Li Er.

Of course, Chen Ying is also a historian. Regardless of whether it is true or not, anyway, Li Jiancheng's entry this time will definitely never return.

Li Jiancheng said worriedly: "I am alone and a disaster is imminent. I don't know what kind of slander the King of Qin has advanced under His Majesty. This time it must be more or less ominous!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "His Royal Highness, Xuanwumen Tunying Zhonglang Chang He is the person you recommend?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "That's right. After Liu Shishan's defeat, he led the dead to ambush the palace. The palace was in danger and was saved by Chang He. In order to thank Chang He for saving his life, the palace recommended Chang He as the Xuanwu Sect." General of the Tunying Zhonglang..."

At this moment, Wei Ting came to the study in panic. At this time, Wei Ting's beard and eyebrows were all white and frosted. It was obvious that he rode his horse and rushed all the way up. Wei Ting's mouth was full of Blisters, I don't know if it's from getting angry or urgent.

Holding a secret letter, Wei Ting hurriedly said, "Please read, Your Highness!"
