Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4192
Coming out from Qiu Xinggong's place, Yuwen Shiji turned back to Li Zhi's residence, saw that the rest of the people had left, so he asked to see Li Zhi, and repeated the conversation he had just had with Qiu Xinggong.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that Qiu Xinggong could persuade Xue Wanche. The Youwuwei under Xue Wanche's command was not only strong, but also repeatedly defeated powerful enemies during the Eastern Expedition. It is very important, if you can recruit it to your subordinates, your chances of winning will increase greatly!

But soon after realizing that the probability of success in this matter is extremely small...

He frowned and said: "Although Xue Wanche is not close to the East Palace, he has gotten very close to Fang Jun in the past few years, and he almost obeyed his words. If he wants to persuade him, he must break away from Fang Jun's influence. How can this be done?" get?"

When His Majesty Li Er returned from the Eastern Expedition and indulged the Guanlong army to ravage Guanzhong, he had strictly ordered Xue Wanche to station troops north of the Weishui River to threaten the Right Guards stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate. As a result, although Xue Wanche appeared to obey the order, he actually stationed on the north bank of the Weishui River to fight the battle of Chang'an Turning a blind eye is almost equivalent to violating His Majesty Li Er's military orders...

The way of thinking of this stupid person cannot be understood with common sense, but for some reason, Fang Jun is treated like a god, rather than pulling him from the East Palace, it is better to win him from Fang Jun... How hard is it? .

Yuwen Shiji pondered and said: "The old minister is not worried about this, but whether there is a problem with Qiu Xinggong's position."

Li Zhi was startled, and asked, "What does Duke Ying mean by this?"

Yuwen Shiji took a sip of tea, carefully chose his words, and said slowly: "The hatred between Qiu Xinggong and Fang Jun is well known in the court and the public, and the world knows it. It is no exaggeration to say that he will never die, but he has no enmity with Donggong. One person Even if the offspring are cut off, after all, the age is not too old and there is still fertility. Will he be blinded by hatred and fight for a chance to fight the enemy even if he knows that he will die? Besides, the so-called fight to the death is just It's just wishful thinking, now Qiu Xinggong, why go to fight Fang Jun to the death."

If it is said that Qiu Xinggong followed where King Jin raised his troops, then there is no problem. After all, King Jin was in full swing at that time. He escaped from Taiji Palace and led his troops to counterattack Chang'an City. With the edict of the first emperor in hand, there are not many people who have a tendency in their hearts.

But now the situation is completely different. It is said that they are sticking to Tongguan, but in fact they have no way to retreat and are trapped to death. Loyalty, regard death as life... Is it really just out of loyalty to the late emperor and expectations for King Jin?

And at this time, he took the initiative to mention that he was going to persuade Xue Wanche... It was unavoidably suspicious.

Li Zhi said cautiously: "Duke Ying is worried that Qiu Xinggong will use his time?"

In case Qiu Xinggong really is the prince's "dead room", and he appears to vote for it, but actually waits for an opportunity to destroy it, there is a huge hidden danger...

Yuwen Shiji put down his teacup, and said distressedly: "Who can judge this? The left and right are just reminding His Highness to be cautious and take precautions. Let's see how he persuades Xue Wanche, and then make a plan."

Li Zhi was speechless.

If Qiu Xinggong is suspicious, even if he succeeds in persuading Xue Wanche, how can he believe it?
It can't be said that even Xue Wanche is a "room"...

Li Zhi thought about it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this point, we can't shut him out with 'unreasonable' reasons, right? Just let it go and observe closely behind the scenes. If he has bad intentions, he will definitely show his feet. Do the math again."

To put it bluntly, I am at an absolute disadvantage right now. If I can't avoid another path, I can only sit and wait for death. I can't let go of any opportunity, even if it seems suspicious and dangerous...

It's just internal and external troubles.

Yuwen Shi and nodded his head to agree with this truth: "It should be so, maybe it's just the old minister who is suspicious, no matter what, we can't give up this hope."

If Xue Wanche can be persuaded to stand on King Jin's side, the impact on the situation can be called a reversal. No one knows what the outcome will be...

*****
One autumn rain and one cold. Recently, there have been heavy rains in Guanzhong and Kanto, cloudy and cold, and the weather is damp and cold.

In the mansion of Wei Wang Li Tai in Yankangfang, all the princes came together. A group of people who are usually very noble are all dressed in plain clothes, surrounded by a rain pavilion in the back house. , drinking wine and chatting.

Naturally, the topic cannot be separated from the current situation, especially the battle situation reported from Jiangnan.

Although Li Zhi sticks to Tongguan and isolates things from east to west, he cannot completely isolate the transmission of news. Whether it is Pujin, Xiayang, Longmen, Qikou and other ferries, or the Shangyu ancient road, they can all be used by scouts to travel and deliver news.

It's just that Shangyu Ancient Road contacted Chang'an and Luoyang, but after all, the mountain streams are narrow and the roads are bumpy, and hundreds of people can pass the limit. It is impossible to support Chang'an with tens of thousands of well-equipped troops.

Otherwise, Guanzhong cannot be called "the land of abundance and the land of victorious form"...

When the chief of the palace, Shi, read the Kanto battle report in detail, all the princes, including Wei Wang Li Tai, let out a long sigh of relief.

Even Li Min, the king of Shu who had always been rebellious and domineering, couldn't help but rejoice and said, "So, we can rest easy!"

There are still lingering fears in the words and expressions.

Li Tai also looked relaxed, motioned for everyone to drink, and then said: "When the pheasant slaves attacked Chang'an, the menacing posture really frightened me. It's not because I treat one more than another, so I can't see the pheasant slaves being good, but once the pheasant slaves succeed , where is there any way for us to survive?"

The young Zhao Wang Li Fu got up and held the pot to pour wine for everyone. Hearing this, he said, "Who said it was not? During those two days, my mother and concubine called me to the palace every time, hugged me so bitterly that I couldn't cry, and every time a battle report was delivered to the palace Here, she was frightened, lest the rebels break into the Tai Chi Palace."

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "This is the end of the matter, it's better not to talk about it."

But it's no wonder that the brothers are frightened, so why isn't he the same?

Once King Jin succeeds in seizing the throne, the prince will die, and even the East Palace will be cleaned up and down, but it is definitely more than that.In any case, Prince Li Chengqian is currently living in the Tai Chi Palace, who is orthodox, while Jin Wang is a mutiny to seize the throne, even if he wins the throne, it is difficult to be justified, and there are many opponents in the world.

Therefore, when King Jin came to power, he had to cleanse all opponents, just like His Majesty Li Er after the "Xuanwu Gate Change"...

And the people who pose the greatest threat to the throne are naturally their own sons of His Majesty Li Er.Although it would not be a complete loss in one day, being too conspicuous would surely cause controversy and notoriety, but the ending of sudden deaths in the next few years is hard to escape.

After all, King Jin's mutiny succeeded in seizing the throne today, who knows that no one will follow suit tomorrow?
But if the crown prince wins this battle for the throne and secures the throne from then on, it will be a different situation.Not to mention whether the prince is as benevolent as he has always been, even if he is a little jealous of his brothers, he must be concerned about his reputation, and he must not bear the infamy of "torturing siblings and killing brothers"...

Therefore, among all the people present, the safest one was Li Tai, who was also the son of His Majesty Li Er and who was once infinitely close to the throne.

Because Li Tai is a weathervane, his life and death are directly related to the reputation of the prince...

So Li Tai is very stable at the moment, as long as King Jin wins, he will be honored and favored as before, even more than before.

However, he glanced at Li You who was sighing, and said with concern: "However, your situation is very delicate, and you should think more about it."

Li You frowned, swallowed the wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped away his tears, opened his mouth, wanting to say nothing.

Li Fu is young and the city is also shallow. Seeing his fear and uneasiness, he couldn't help complaining: "Fifth Brother, you are so confused, how could you do such things in the past? Brother Qingque and Brother Nine were almost forced If you drink poisoned wine, you would rather die than obey, so Changsun Wuji can’t do anything about him? But you became greedy yourself, and as a result, others may be fine now, but you can’t pick it clean.”

If the King of Jin ascends the throne, it will be rare for the brothers to die well. When the crown prince ascends the throne, everyone will bow their heads and ears to enjoy the wealth and honor, and they will always save their lives.But Li You was different, he had once thanked the prince for a letter to crusade against the prince, counted the prince's major crimes, wished he could stink the prince to death, how can such a "rebel" be tolerated when the prince is firmly on the throne in the future ?
So no matter who is firmly on the throne in the end, it is rare for Li Youna to die well...

When Li Tai heard this, he quickly reprimanded: "Thirteenth brother, be careful! You can't say such things again..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li You jumped up violently, first threw the wine cup to the ground, and then became furious, pointing at his halberd and cursing: "Let your mother do the shit! Is that what I want? His eldest grandson has no Ji steel knife across my neck, forcing me to sign and draw a pledge, what can I do? Changsun Wuji is the uncle of King Wei, he would not dare to kill King Wei, but I am a fart, if he kills me, he will not kill me Like an ant? This matter is in the past, but you keep mentioning it again and again, are you trying to kill me with the hands of the prince? Come on, come on, you and I will duel here today, and I won’t let you go!"

Li Fu's face was red, but although he was slandering in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only hold back his tears and dared not speak back.

He dared not, but Li Yin, king of Shu, dared.

Among the princes of His Majesty Li Er, Li Min has the most irritable temper. When he is angry, his relatives will not recognize him. Seeing Li You blame others for his own wrongdoing, he cannot bear it. He has been unhappy with Li You for a long time.

Immediately, he jumped up against the case, came to Li You, pushed him violently, and said angrily: "You only know how to mess with the family, right? If you really have a bit of blood, you should fight Changsun Wuji to the death. Even if you are dead, brothers will respect you as a man! You have hidden evil in your heart, and you want to push the boat to achieve good things. Now that you have failed, you will have endless troubles, but you are angry with your brothers. What kind of ability is it? Come on, don’t you want to Do you want to fight, I will accompany you!"

After saying that, he broke free from the obstruction of Li Tai, Li Zhen and others, leaned forward, and punched Li You on the bridge of the nose.
