The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu's attitude was so sincere.

Li Yuan also smiled.

But the King of Qi had to be punished for this matter.

They were all family members, how could they behave like this?

The soldiers outside the palace came in with a report.

"Your Majesty, the front reported that Ashina Yushe of the Turks led troops to invade Wucheng and requested reinforcements from the court."

"Got it, leave." Li Yuan waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, state affairs are urgent, and I will leave first." Li Fu said with a bow.

Li Yuan nodded: "Good boy, go."

In the palace, Li Yuan looked at Li Fu's back as he left, and his love in his eyes was beyond words.

What a good child.

He did not fight or compete, and for so many years, he was self-reliant. Even if he had a title, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he saw injustice and saved Du Ruhui.

As a result, he offended the King of Qi because of this matter.

"Come here, call the prince to the palace to discuss matters." Li Yuan said.

Even if he wanted to warn the King of Qi, he had to wait until he dealt with the matter of Ashina Yushe.

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart, if he sent troops to reinforce, who should he let lead the troops?

Soon, Li Jiancheng came.

"Prince, Ashina Yushe of the Turks led troops to attack Wucheng. Who do you think is the most suitable to lead the troops to reinforce?"

Li Jiancheng pondered for a while, and he guessed Li Yuan's thoughts. If there is a suitable candidate, it must be the King of Qin.

The King of Qin has never lost when leading troops to fight, but from a selfish point of view, at this juncture, Li Jiancheng does not want the military power to fall into the hands of Li Shimin.

So...

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of temporary gains and losses, it is most appropriate for the King of Qin to lead the troops to reinforce, but from a long-term perspective, I think the King of Qi is more suitable." Li Jiancheng said: "Military merits cannot be given to one person."

If the King of Qi leads the troops again at this time and has military power in his hands, then the plan to get rid of Li Shimin in Chang'an City will be more certain.

Li Yuan's face was solemn.

He did not forget that the King of Qi led the troops and fled without fighting, and even gave up Jinyang, the birthplace of the Li family.

The King of Qi's ability to lead troops is definitely not as good as that of the King of Qin.

"Prince, do you really think that the King of Qi is more suitable than the King of Qin?" Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and asked.

He knew his own son, and the King of Qi was not that kind of material.

"I do think so." Li Jiancheng said.

Li Yuan sighed, forget it, what the prince said makes sense.

The military merits can't all be given to the King of Qin. We have to give others some opportunities. As for the King of Qi, we will summon him to the palace tomorrow and give him a good beating. Then we will send him a few capable assistants to go to Wucheng together.

This trip is just for reinforcement, which is not a big problem.

"Then let the King of Qi lead the troops, lead the Right Wuwei General Li Yi and Tianji General Zhang Gongjin to reinforce Wucheng." Li Yuan said.

"Yes." Li Jiancheng bowed and responded.

After returning to the East Palace, Li Jiancheng immediately asked someone to invite Li Yuanji to the East Palace and told Li Yuanji the news.

"Now, the opportunity is sent by the Turks. You have the power to command the troops. With this, you can transfer all the military generals in the King of Qin's Mansion. Our chance to take action has come." The prince said.

"Good, good." Li Yuanji looked excited: "Yuchi Jingde, if you don't accept the toast, you will be punished. Your death is coming!"

The smile on Li Yuanji's face gradually darkened.

He has soldiers in his hands. When the time comes, he can overthrow the King of Qin and put the blame on the prince, and the prince will not be able to be the prince.

Or, after getting rid of the King of Qin, he can find an opportunity to get rid of the prince.

Then the throne will be his in the future?

"Brother, should we wait until we come back to get rid of the King of Qin, or do it now?" Li Yuanji asked.

Li Jiancheng thought about it and then said.

"When you come back, your power to command the army will have to be handed over. Maybe he will take action first. The longer the night, the more dreams there are. Let's take action before you leave.

If there is any trouble, we can also use the excuse that the matter of the Eighteen Tribes of the Grassland is a big deal to stop it first."

"The King of Qin's mansion has only a few hundred people. As long as we don't leave Chang'an, we have 5,000 people, and the matter will not be difficult. This time, we must get rid of the King of Qin." Li Yuanji said.

Li Yuanji nodded, and then called the scholar in the mansion.

"Call the head of the Ministry of War. The prince has an order." Li Jiancheng said.

"Yes." The scholar responded and then quietly retreated.

Inside the house, Li Jiancheng was still discussing with Li Yuanji.

"Before the troops are dispatched, I propose that we practice the expedition at Kunming Lake. At that time, we will invite the King of Qin, and then we will start the battle on the spot, and then we will go directly to the expedition afterwards." Li Jiancheng said.

"Okay!" Li Yuanji clapped his hands in approval.

After Li Yuanji returned to his mansion, he summoned the chief historian of his mansion."Everything is ready. The prince has agreed to take action." Li Yuanji smiled and said, "But he doesn't know that he is also involved. When the time comes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and I am the oriole behind. Not only the King of Qin, but also the prince will be eliminated together."

"When the time comes, the troops will be divided into two groups. Are the eighteen tribes on the grassland ready?" Li Yuanji asked.

"Everything is ready. A total of ten carts of silk, ten carts of dried fruits, and ten thousand taels of gold. Jie Li must be very happy." Changshi said.

"Okay, we will set off tomorrow. In five days, we will arrive just in time. Let them withdraw their troops immediately. At that time, our work will be completed."

"This matter must be ensured to be foolproof. When the power to command the troops is in my hands, not only the King of Qin's army, but also the army of the Eastern Palace will be led by me. When the banquet is not attended by His Majesty, the prince will see me off on behalf of His Majesty, and even the prince will be killed together."

"Yes." Changshi responded.

"By the way, at that time, we should first concentrate our forces to attack the King of Qin to prepare for any eventuality." Li Yuanji said, "Don't let the prince be on guard against me. Secondly, the prince must also be responsible for this."

"After I succeed, I will immediately ask His Majesty to make me the prince, take over the general affairs and military affairs, and with the cooperation of the eighteen tribes of the grassland, the Tang Dynasty will be mine!"

Li Yuanji was very proud, and finally, he got to this point.

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the position of the prince and the emperor.

Shitou took Dong Jiu to the outside of Chang'an City to pick up the incoming goods from the farm.

Dong Jiu looked around and always felt that Chang'an City seemed too peaceful recently.

"In recent days, even the ruffians can't be seen on the streets of Chang'an City." Dong Jiu said, "It looks really reassuring."

But behind this reassurance, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Of course I can't see it." Shitou said with a smile: "Those ruffians were recruited by the people in the East Palace."

"How do you know?" Dong Jiu asked.

"Our husband told me." Shitou said with a smile: "Someone wants them to do something."
