Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 830

"The prince is unwise."

Inside the house, Wei Zhengyong said this to Li Shan who came to visit with a disappointed tone.

Li Shan smiled wryly and didn't say a word, but he also agreed with Wei Zheng's point of view in his heart. Li Jiancheng was indeed unwise. Before the battle of Tiantai Mountain, the East Palace was basically sure to win...he didn't take Li Shimin's possible mutiny into consideration.

On that day, Li Yuan didn't push behind the scenes, and personally promised to let King Qin leave the town of Luoyang... This was a signal to cleanse King Qin's lineage.

In such a situation, Li Jiancheng wanted to be smart and play such a trick, and finally fell into the pit by himself... Why bother!
Li Shan guessed that it might be the long-term pressure from King Qin's lineage that caused Li Jiancheng to have such expectations, or there may be other reasons.

After all, the desire for the throne is enough to make a prince do anything. The Xuanwumen Incident led by Li Shimin in the original time and space is essentially the same as what Li Jiancheng did this time... er, maybe even more Going too far, killing brothers and brothers almost imprisoned the father, even killed most of the nephews who were still children, and even robbed the sister-in-law.

Killing his husband, slaughtering his son, and occupying his sister-in-law, in terms of character, Li Shimin is really not a fun thing, even more than Cao Mengde.

Wei Zheng, who was already blushing, raised his wine glass and drank it down. Regardless of the liquid stained on his beard, he sighed: "A few months ago, a certain person advised the prince to kill King Qin as soon as possible..."

Li Shan blinked. If I remember correctly, there really was such a thing in history. Before the change of Xuanwumen, Wei Zheng persuaded the prince several times to kill Li Shimin as soon as possible.

"Jiangxia County Duke and Feiru County Marquis don't move." Li Shan whispered: "However, there will be two people added by Tiance Mansion."

Duke Jiangxia is an old acquaintance of Li Shan, and now he is serving as the General of the Right Prison Gate. General of the left gate.

"His Highness has always regarded Huai Ren as a pillar in the court, not to mention that Huai Ren recommended Guan Guogong and privately mentioned Huai Ren's meritorious service, there is absolutely no hatred."

"The prince is not at fault."

As for the Battle of Tiantai Mountain... Li Jiancheng's secret thoughts can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Is it worthy of Wen Wenren'ai's evaluation?

"That's right." Li Shan spread his hands, "How can His Royal Highness be willing to bear the reputation of killing his younger brother for no reason?"

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the crown prince refuses to..."

Wei Zheng paused and added: "Although Huairen has contacts with many of King Qin's favorite generals, everyone in the East Palace knows that Huairen has always been impartial."

Li Shan thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Prince and King Qin have been fighting for the throne for a long time, and King Qin's military achievements are so great that it is difficult to enter the East Palace. Why?"

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Today the East Palace discusses matters, and some people mentioned this matter, for fear that Huairen will repel you."

Now it's impossible, Wei Zheng didn't shy away from it, and explained directly: "The Turks are now in civil strife, and this is the right time to act. As long as King Qin dies, the dragons under his command will be leaderless, and the party members will disperse. Even if someone raises an army, it will be difficult to reverse the general trend."

His Majesty's trust in Huairen is truly incomparable. Wei Zheng stroked his goatee with emotion, "What does Huairen mean?"

"The situation will be stabilized within a few months. At that time, there will be no King Qin to hold back. Even if the Turkic civil strife subsides and a large-scale invasion of the south, they will be able to deal with it calmly."

Speaking of it, Li Shan felt a little guilty. The famous official in front of him was really kind to him. Although he didn't have much contact with him on weekdays, he defended himself in front of the prince several times. They are fooling each other.

As soon as Wei Zheng said this, he felt that something was wrong, and he also noticed that Li Shan was casting a strange gaze... This life is hard to say, but in the original time and space, it was Li Jiancheng who did not listen to Wei Zheng's advice, and finally led to Li Shimin's successful activation Although Li Shimin had the ability to control the Xuanwumen Incident, if Li Jiancheng really killed Li Shimin regardless, at least all the heirs who would not be miserable would be killed.

Wei Zheng was stunned, nodded and said: "That's right, this is the reason why the prince hesitated. There is no need to deny that the reason why the Tang Dynasty ruled the world was due to the great contribution of the King of Qin. He has no fault and should not be slaughtered lightly."

Li Shan hesitated for a while, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice: "Little brother is rushing to Tiantai Mountain, does Your Highness have any resentment?"

While speaking, Li Shan glanced at Wei Zheng. This guy appeared in the history books as an admonisher during the Zhenguan period, but in fact he did not lack secret schemes. Li Shimin himself did not make any mistakes. No matter what the reason is, the prince Killing Li Shimin will be recorded heavily in history, unless he can do better than Tang Taizong in history, but judging from his attitude towards Turks, I am afraid it will be difficult, and maybe he will move the capital to Luoyang.

"The prince accepts advice kindly, is gentle and benevolent, but is indecisive."

"Brother Xuan Cheng should know that when I see you today, His Majesty ordered my younger brother to inspect the Forbidden Army of the Beiya." Li Shan explained: "Because of the Tiantai Mountain battle, Duke Guan led the army to the north and transferred generals from Jingzhao. Now there are many Forbidden Army in the Beiya. There is a shortfall."

Li Jiancheng was even more afraid to do anything, unless he was sure to kill Li Shimin and Li Yuan together.

"Why did it come to this!" Wei Zheng slapped the table, "I don't want to hide it from Huairen, if His Highness succeeds in planning, I hope for my brother, but how can we blame Huairen for the current situation?!"

Wei Zheng sneered, "You and I have known each other for many years, why bother to prevaricate with such words!"

Wei Zheng coughed twice, then changed the subject, "Shao Huairen came to visit, he must have something to do, please tell me."

Li Yuan may not directly kill his most famous second son, but he will certainly be able to deprive King Qin's lineage of power little by little. In the end, no matter whether it is Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng, a glass of poisoned wine is enough.

It's a pity that the situation has changed drastically now. The battle of Tiantai Mountain has changed the situation of seizing the heirloom drastically. Although the Tiance Mansion has many staff and generals lost, the East Palace no longer has the previous arrogance.

"I came here just to be impartial." Li Shan lowered his head slightly, with a strange look in his eyes.

Li Shan smiled and didn't explain. Naturally, this kind of words cannot be explained clearly. Before the battle of Tiantai Mountain, the East Palace had the upper hand. The main reason why Li Jiancheng didn't follow Wei Zheng's advice and directly killed Li Shimin was that there was someone in front of him. Li Yuan is a thug.

If Li Gaoqian and Feng Li were expelled from the Beiya Imperial Army, it would mean Li Yuan's attitude to Donggong, so as long as these two can stay and the generals of Tiance Mansion make up the vacancies, Donggong is acceptable.

Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it was His Majesty's intention...but my younger brother will not choose King Qin's confidant general."

"Then please Huairen."

After fooling Wei Zheng, Li Shan immediately returned to Sun Moon Lake. That night, the candles in the study room were not extinguished all night, and he and Ling Jing and Su Dingfang compiled a list that several parties could accept.
