Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 137
Li Yuan, who was rubbing his temples, felt a bit of a headache, a real headache.

In fact, he has been suffering from headaches for a long time. Since the second son swept the Central Plains last year and captured the two kings alive, after a short period of joy, it has been a long-term headache.

Since ancient times, which founding emperor has such a prince with great military achievements?

And he's not the eldest son of the emperor!

In fact, if it was the eldest son of the emperor, Li Yuan would have even more headaches.

Li Yuan, who is only in his 50s this year, has the courage and ability of a founding emperor, but he also faintly feels that he may have made a mistake.

Last year, the second son Li Shimin made such military achievements, and the order of ministers was not enough to reward him. Li Yuan set up "Admiral Tiance" to allow Li Shimin to open a mansion and build teeth.

This is also a last resort. Could it be that if Li Shimin continues to attack south, will all the south of the Yellow River be included in the Eastern Shaanxi Road?
Maybe just go to jail?

The world has not been settled yet, and the hero is going to be killed, and he is still the second son...it doesn't make sense.

And Li Yuan couldn't do this either... The inner courtyard of the palace was addressed as father and son rather than monarch and minister. Li Yuan obviously had special expectations.

But it was precisely because of Li Yuan's decision that the battle for the heir apparent between the East Palace and Tiance Mansion officially started during the reign of Wude.

Because in some people's eyes, this is Li Yuan's tacit consent that Li Shimin is qualified to compete with Li Jiancheng for the position of the East Palace.

After Li Shimin returned to Beijing, he recruited many talented people, and with eighteen scholars by his side, Li Jiancheng couldn't be at ease.

In fact, Li Yuan couldn't be at ease... It wasn't that he felt the threat Li Shimin brought to him, but that the Tiance Mansion was reaching out to the court, and the courtiers around Li Yuan and the East Palace were all threatened.

But in fact, what Li Yuan himself was trying to play was the technique of balance. Unfortunately, he, the founding emperor... is not good at other aspects, but he is not good at this aspect.

For example, today's incident gave Li Yuan a headache and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Glancing at Li Shimin who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Li Yuan rubbed the center of his brows, got up and helped him up himself, "Erlang has always been strong, why is he like this today."

"Father..." Li Shimin sighed with tears in his eyes, "I heard that the music of breaking the formation was sung in the market, but I dare not argue, so I came here to apologize."

"Erlang don't need to worry, this is because someone wants to make a divorce."

Li Shimin nodded in his heart, he was right!
Divorce...isn't it about me and the boss, right?
"Father, please come down..." Li Shimin knelt down again, "Yu Chigong forcefully broke into the county government office to question the perpetrator, and injured several people."

"Criminal?" Li Yuan said angrily, "It is rumored that "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" is sung in the market. What crime did Chang'an order to go to prison for?"

"A certain Wei Chigong is brave and good at fighting, and his loyalty is commendable. He is not guilty of injuring a yamen servant!"

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice, "It's not a government servant...it's Changlin soldiers."

Li Yuan had even more headaches, and groaned and sat down on the couch. From his point of view, the East Palace has been reluctant to send troops for a long time, and the Qin Palace has recently restrained itself. The rumored "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array" must not be written by the Qin Palace.

Erlang has long stated that he is willing to use Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province as a restraint for others, so that the Tang army will conquer Hebei and Shandong as soon as possible.

Moreover, Erlang's temperament is arrogant, so he will not do such shady tricks.

On the contrary, it was the East Palace...Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Wei Zheng all used similar methods.

The divorce plan mentioned by Li Yuan... is likely to be Donggong's move, trying to separate him and Erlang.

That's why Li Yuan had a headache. He never had the idea of ​​abolishing the eldest son and establishing the second son, but today Li Shimin obviously wanted to challenge the East Palace on this matter.

Although they are father and son, they are also monarchs and ministers. Admiral Tiance, who has made great military achievements, kneels down many times. This kneeling ceremony is not so pleasant.

Anyway, this time, Donggong lost points with Li Yuan.

"Father, if the eldest brother can't bear it... the child is willing to disperse the Liuhu Army Mansion..."

"Shut up!" Li Yuan yelled: "There is no need to mention this matter again. It is my father's decision to send Bishamon and Sanhu to conquer Shandong!"

Just kidding, last year Liu Heitai made such a fuss that many generals were defeated, but Li Shimin led Qin Wangfu to the left and right Liuhujunfu and won in one blow.

If they really disperse... Is Donggong recruiting or killing them all?
How many people are Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Li Mi's ex-partners, are they willing to catch them without a fight?

Yizhou Road is fine, but what about Shaanxi Road?
If one is bad, the world will be in chaos!
Li Yuan made up his mind that he must let his eldest son send troops as soon as possible. He gritted his teeth and whispered a few names. Li Shimin's face changed slightly, sometimes nodding, sometimes bowing his head.

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Shimin's face was ashen when he returned to Chengqian Palace.

"How?" Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice, "When will the East Palace send troops?"

Li Shimin saw his confidantes on the left and right, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked the stool blocking the road away.

It's really helpless to let people sing "The Music of the King of Qin's Breaking the Array" cleverly... This was created by Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling didn't approve of it.

But Li Shimin had no choice but to swallow his anger and gave up the control of Daxingtai on Shandong Road, while the East Palace still had one request from the left and one request from the right, but refused to send troops... Changsun Wuji's move was an attempt to exert pressure and urge the East Palace send troops.

After all, the Turkic people broke through Beizhou and attacked Weizhou. Obviously, they will not return north for a while... Li Shimin hoped that the boss would go to Hebei to suffer a few defeats.

It was rumored that "The King of Qin's Breaking the Array" was sung, and his father obviously suspected Dong Gong's head, but Li Shimin did not expect that his father was so partial.

Donggong actually wanted to transfer manpower from Tiance Mansion, and it was Huo Changsun and Qin Qiong, the leaders of the Xuanjia Army. This was unbearable for Li Shimin... Li Yuan rejected it. He also knew that this had violated Li Shimin's bottom line, but he did Three other candidates were proposed.

"Ren Guogong..." Fang Xuanling hesitated, "It's okay for Ren Guogong, but who are the other two?"

Ren Guogong is Liu Hongji, and he has a very close personal relationship with Li Shimin. When he was still in Jinyang, he rode even when he went out, and he slept and got up together when he was in Jinyang.

Li Shimin sneered, "Zhang Gongjin, Zheng Rentai."

"Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu, governor of Weizhou, are close friends. The latter is a son of the Cui family of Qinghe. They agreed to vote for the Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling said like a few treasures: "Cui Shu is now in the East Palace, working as a Zhonglang."

"Zheng Rentai joined His Highness's army in the early years, and has always been His Highness's direct descendant, but this person is a descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and his cousin is the Crown Princess."

Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling looked at each other in blank dismay. These three were all in the lineage of the King of Qin, but none of them served in the Tiance Mansion. It was not impossible to follow the crown prince to conquer Hebei, but the East Palace obviously had the intention of poaching corners.

Liu Hongji has a good relationship with Li Shimin, but his relationship with Li Jiancheng is not bad.

Zhang Gongjin's good friend Cui Shu is a child of the Cui family in Qinghe, and now Beizhou is suffering from the Turkic disaster, and Cui Shu is the prince's confidant.

Zheng Rentai was even worse, he could barely be regarded as the prince's brother-in-law, and the Zheng family in Xingyang belonged to the prince's wife family, and many clansmen took refuge in the East Palace.

Du Ruhui said sharply: "Never allow it!"

"One can be two or three. Zhang Gongjin was recommended by Li Shiji and Yu Chigong. Zheng Rentai followed His Highness to destroy the Xue family father and son, Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, and put down Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande... How can His Highness abandon them?!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, this matter must not just be so vague, but the East Palace is obviously delaying time, now it is almost November, it is already cold winter, and the Turkic people are about to return north.

Only when the news of the Turks' return to the grasslands from the north comes to Beijing, will the boss go out... Li Shimin grits his teeth secretly when he thinks of this, it's so unfair!
The last time Liu Heita swept Hebei, the main force of the Tang army led by Li Shiji was wiped out, and Li Shimin invited him to go out the next day.

But this time, it has been almost a month since Li Daoxuan was defeated by Bo, and Donggong is still delaying.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the outside, and it was Hou Junji, the riding general waiting on the right side of Qin Wangfu.

"Your Highness, Li Shiji has sent a message to invite His Highness to visit."

"Li Shiji?" Changsun Wuji and the others were a little surprised. Speaking of which, Li Shiji didn't work in the Tiance Mansion, and he wasn't even part of the Prince Qin's Mansion.

Hou Junji leaned forward slightly, "Your Highness, Weizhou is here."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he stood up, "At the beginning of the year, Maogong followed Gu to fight against Liu thief, and he made great achievements on the side of Luoshui. After returning to Beijing, we haven't met yet, and we are about to pay a visit."

Li Shiji's status was a bit embarrassing. He served Li Mi and Dou Jiande successively, and fought with Li Shimin after he entered the Tang Dynasty.
