Chapter 827(2/3)
This time, Li Shimin did not let Cheng Yaojin and the others fight, but instead issued an order decisively and directly.
"Issue the Minister of War Li Jie to defeat Huai, Luo, Bian, Song, Lu, Hua, Ji, Yun, Hai Jiuzhou Prefectures, and Liu Dewei to fight against the rebellion!"
Cut the mess with a quick knife!
This is what Li Shimin thinks now!
In fact, Li Kuan really wanted to stand up and say that as long as there were thousands of soldiers and horses going to go there, the rebellion in Qizhou would be quelled.
However, if Li You takes the initiative to lead troops to quell the rebellion, it will easily make people feel afraid.
how?
Are you Li Kuan so active in suppressing your younger brother?
So Li Kuan didn't say much!
After arranging the quelling general, Li Shimin was not in the mood to continue discussing the matter, but asked everyone to retreat and write at his desk.
"Sad son! I once warned you not to get close to villains and not be bewitched by others. This is why. You have always been rude and lack of virtue, and are bewitched by flattery remarks. Now you have finally caused trouble to destroy yourself. It's so painful, so stupid."
When Li Shimin wrote this passage, tears couldn't help but fall.
For more than ten years, he has been trying to avoid such a thing, but it finally came.
"Your evil son! You have become a person like a ox, forgetting the loyalty and filial piety in the world, and disturbing Qizhou..."
"Sad son! You are unwilling tolerate etiquette and righteousness, and you are not tolerated by heaven and earth; you abandon your father and brother and betray the monarch, and you are angry with you by man and god..."
Li Shimin became more and more angry as he wrote, fearing that all his dissatisfaction with his sons over the years would be vented.
"You used to be my son, but now you are the enemy of the Tang Dynasty..."
Slowly, the snow-white paper was covered with ink marks.
Some of the handwriting was wet by Li Shimin's tears before it was completely dry.
During the period, Li Shimin choked up several times and stopped writing!
The heart is like a knife cutting!
Although he is not a qualified father, his love for his children is sincere!
But how many silver coins are you worth when you are in the Imperial House?
...
"Your Highness, the opportunity is here!"
In the East Palace, Helan Chushi came to Li Chengqian happily.
“What opportunity?”
Li Chengqian took a sip of Qilixiang drunk, and there was not much joy on his face.
This period was quite difficult for him, because the ministers in the court impeached him every now and then, and Li Shimin was very fond of Li Tai, which made him feel tremendous pressure.
"Your Highness King Qi has rebelled!"
"The old fifth is back?"
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care much.
In his opinion, Chang'an City had sufficient soldiers and enough food, and Li You was doomed to fail in Qizhou.
"Yes! Your Majesty has ordered the Minister of War Li Ji to lead his troops to quell the rebellion!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Yes! Of course there is! Even the rebellion of King Qi can happen, which means he has been planning for a long time. At this time, several assassinations occurred in Chang'an City, isn't it normal? Your Highness, aren't you always worried that you can't find the right time to attack Your Highness, King Wei? Now is the best time!"
Helan Chushi looked at Li Chengqian with his eyes radiating, feeling that he was one step closer to the position of Duke.
"You mean we arranged for someone to assassinate Li Tai and then blame Li You?"
Li Chengqian was not stupid either, and immediately understood what Helan Chushi meant.
In the past two years, in order to deal with Li Tai, Li Chengqian has tried his best to deal with Li Tai and even arranged people to enter the Wei Palace and then report illegal matters in the Wei Palace, but none of them have any effect.
So Li Chengqian simply began to prepare to eliminate Li Tai from the top.
However, Li Tai also knew what situation he was now, and he was very strict in defense when entering and leaving, and Li Chengqian never found an opportunity.
"That's right! Hegan Chengji led a few elite dead soldiers, and there was no need to be many people. He was ambushed on the way to enter and exit the palace with his exquisite crossbow. He took action in the past two days! Of course, it was the best to succeed. Even if it didn't work, it would be considered a vent of anger."
"The ministers in the court, especially the ministers who were arranged by the father to teach me, always advised me on the spot for their own fame, and impeached me in front of my father. They also brought out any trivial matters. It seemed that if they would not show their loyalty if they did not do this, I had enough of it!
Since Li You dared to rebel, it would be normal to arrange people to come to Chang'an City to assassinate several princes. At worst, I can arrange another group of people to assassinate myself!"
After a moment of silence, Li Chengqian made a decision.
In fact, Li Chengqian is not as outstanding as some people boast, but not as unbearable as many people imagine.
The guest official said that he was just an ordinary person in the imperial family.
However, there was a trend in the Tang Dynasty that was not very good, that was, under the leadership of Wei Zheng, the trend of persuasion was very popular.
Not to mention the prince Li Chengqian, even in front of Li Shimin, ministers like Wei Zheng dared to contradict each other bluntly.
This is because they regard the offender of Yan Zhigui as a kind of advice that is loyal to the king and loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
If a problem is discovered but does not raise it, it is disloyal and a slander.
Therefore, in order to gain a famous reputation, many ministers have made various fancy "strikes" in various ways.
Especially some of the teachers Li Shimin arranged for Li Chengqian to take the problem of picking Li Chengqian every day as his main business.
As a result, Li Chengqian didn't have so many problems that it seemed to be very bad.
Li Chengqian, who could not bear the pressure, also made many tricks, which eventually proved the impeachment of the ministers.
Look, Your Highness is indeed not like a monarch!
...
Shengyefang is a yard that Li Tai often passes by. From here, you can walk out of Chang'an City through Chunmingmen as fast as possible.
Li Tai, who has realized something, recently went out of the city to Zhaoling to pay tribute every few days.
Naturally, someone reported this behavior to Li Chengqian, and Li Tai was deliberately gaining a wave of favor.
"Shanbin, you said that the fifth brother was such a clever person, how could he do such a stupid thing? As long as you have no brains, you know that rebellion cannot be successful. The Tang Dynasty is now boundless. Whether it is the Eastern Turks, the Western Turks, Xueyantuo and Tuyuhun, or Goguryeo and Tubo, none of them are our opponents. He thought that with the little troops in Qizhou, he could ascend to the throne? Then this throne is too easy to get!"
In the luxurious Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage, the fat Li Tai was slumped on the shark-skin sofa and talking to Du Chuke beside him.
"After all, His Highness King Qi also has some of the blood of the Yin family. Yin Hongzhi has been with His Highness King Qi for many years and must have instilled a lot of hatred in him. Maybe His Highness King Qi has regarded His Majesty and the princes of the Tang Dynasty as his life and death enemy."
As the chief of the Wei royal palace, Du Chuke naturally had a deep understanding of the affairs of each prince's mansion.
As Li Shimin's fifth son, Li You is almost the same age as Li Tai. In addition, his mother is the very favored Empress De, so it is normal for Du Chuke to pay more attention to it.
"Hmph! I forgot if you don't say it. The Yin family and our Li family have a deep blood hatred."
As Li Shimin's son, Li Tai still hates the Yin family, who has excavated his ancestral tomb.
If hatred has not accumulated to a certain extent, it will not be done like digging ancestral graves.
"After the Queen's death, Your Majesty has changed a lot. Now that the rebellion of Your Majesty King has happened, it will probably be a great blow to Your Majesty. Prince, I think as long as you continue to maintain your current image, this throne will be yours sooner or later!"
"Well, my father has admired me a lot recently and has given me a lot of money. But my elder brother has done despicable things. At the end of last year, he even arranged for someone to assassinate his teacher. Although there was no evidence, it completely ruined his reputation. As long as he added more effort, it would be impossible to depose the prince."
Li Tai felt excited when he thought that he would be able to sit on the imperial throne of Hanyuan Hall one day and discuss state affairs with his ministers.
"That's right! The more we are, the more we need to let His Majesty see the prince's goodness and the prince's badness. We are afraid of comparisons in everything."
As soon as Du Chuke's words came to the ground, a scream suddenly came from a sudden scream, "There is an assassin! Protect the prince!"
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Soon, a powerful crossbow shot into the carriage.
Li Tai's fat body suddenly became flexible.
He quickly stood up from the sofa and pressed a button.
Then an iron plate immediately sealed the car window.
As for the crossbow arrows that kept shooting into the carriage, he was not worried.
This is the highest version of the Mercedes-Benz four-wheel luxury carriage. The entire carriage uses a lot of stainless steel, and it is impossible for idle crossbow arrows to shoot through it.
Soon, the movement outside became less.
"His Highness of the King of Wei, six assassins died, one of them escaped! My subordinates have arranged for someone to chase him."
When the voice of the escort manager of the Wei Palace came from outside the carriage, Li Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the years, Li Tai has won a lot of people, and is loved by Li Shimin, so many people are willing to take advantage of their future, so Li Tai is not short of counselors and masters.
"Prince, yesterday, the news of His Highness the King of Qi's rebellion was just heard. Some people were assassinating today. It seems that some people can't wait!"
Du Chuke's face remained unchanged and opened the carriage's windows and doors again, letting the sunlight shine into the carriage again.
Neither Li Tai nor Li had the idea of going out to take a look.
