Chang'an, Linhu Palace.
Li Yuan looked at the wooden box on the shore with interest, "Did Huairen make it again?"
"Yes." Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan said with a smile: "My nephew has used it to clean his hands and remove dirt. It is the most useful."
Li Yuan smiled and scolded: "It is said that the Yushitai is ready to impeach Huairen for his business affairs."
"Uncle Mingjian, this is not Huairen's handiwork, it's just a subordinate..."
"Okay, okay." Li Yuan sneered: "How could it not be him? He also created Yuhuchun back then..."
"Uncle, Huairen also made new horseshoes and new plows, which have made great contributions to the country."
Li Yuan didn't take it seriously. Everyone knew about the relationship between the nephew in front of him and Li Shan. The life-saving grace was secondary. The key was that under Li Shan's planning, Li Daoxuan turned defeat into victory, defeated the enemy army, and killed several enemy generals. Shandong was pacified.
"Pingyang is feeling heavy. Do you want you to run errands for him this time?" Li Yuan picked out a piece and smelled it, curiously asking: "It seems to be mixed with spices?"
"It's petals." Li Daoxuan explained: "That's why Huairen didn't let Third Sister take action this time."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that his daughter was pregnant, so it was really not suitable for him to take action.
After chatting for a while, Li Daoxuan was sent away. Li Yuan was lying on the couch alone, lost in thought. There was nothing else that could make the Emperor of Tang fall into deep thought, apart from the two younger brothers fighting for the throne. .
At the beginning of the year, some courtiers suggested that Shaanxi Daxingtai should be dismissed. This was almost digging into the roots of Tiance Mansion.
The world has been unified. The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui Dynasty. Although it also had provincial level settings, it was actually at the state and county level. It only controlled the surrounding state capitals in the form of important state capitals, such as the Governor of Luozhou in Hebei, and the Governor of Hedong. Bingzhou Governor.
Therefore, Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province is the only one in the world, and the other governor's offices of Yizhou Road and Yangzhou are just in name. But on the Daxingtai side of East Shaanxi Province, Qu Tutong leads the general with Zuopushe, and the six ministers As well as the governor of the state, he completely controlled the Central Plains region. This was Li Shimin's confidence.
This confidence does not refer to the confidence to seize the throne, but that once Li Shimin takes over, he will be able to take over almost perfectly... Shaanxi Province Daxingtai has all the ministers and generals he wants.
But in the eyes of Li Yuan, especially the prince Li Jiancheng, the idea of unifying the world and having a country within a country like Shaanxi Province was simply a joke.
For several months, the East Palace has been adding fuel to the flames. This time, King Qin's lineage did not suffer silently, but vigorously fought back. However, due to Li Yuan's favoritism, Tiance Mansion had no results at this point.
But who would have thought that Li Shimin made a false shot and suddenly revealed that the Youzhou Army privately sent generals to the Changlin Army. This was not the first time. Li Yuan was greatly angered. The Changlin Army had thousands of people, and the Tiance Mansion The total number of all the personal guards here is only a thousand, so why does the prince want to strengthen the military force of the East Palace?
Li Jiancheng was also speechless. Thousands of Changlin troops may not be able to do as well as the hundreds of guards of Tiance Mansion... Well, this is what Pei Shiju has repeatedly emphasized, but obviously, this reason cannot be brought to the table.
What angered Li Yuan the most was that the prince actually let a Turk lead the generals of the Youzhou Army. In the end, this incident caused quite a disturbance. The prince Li Jiancheng was reprimanded, and the Youyuhou of the East Palace led Kezhi to be exiled. Luo Yi, who was far away in Jingzhou, was reprimanded... The Prince of Yan County was also speechless. This matter really had nothing to do with him.
After that, the battle between the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion became increasingly fierce. Although there was no blood, there was a faint smell of blood.
Under this situation, Li Yuan summoned Li Shimin, chased him away from home, gave gentle advice, and prepared to let Li Shimin leave Luoyang. As a result, Li Shimin burst into tears and spoke sadly, unwilling to leave the capital.
How to deal with General Tiance is the biggest problem currently surrounding the emperor Li Yuan... Later generations did not think highly of him, mainly because of his indecision, but Li Yuan also had his own difficulties.
Li Shimin conquered almost half of the Tang Dynasty. His prestige in the military was so high that he controlled almost all of the Central Plains, including most of Hebei... Now the governor of Luozhou was Cheng Mingzhen, who had already joined the Qin Palace.
Even if you want to solve it, such as killing it with one knife, let's not talk about whether Li Yuan has such a hard-hearted heart. Even if he does, he must do it step by step and never act too hastily. If he fails, the world will be in chaos.
If you think about it, you will know that if Erlang is forced to raise an army, Li Yuan will not know who to send to lead the attack... Moreover, once Erlang raises an army, he will immediately be able to force his opponent in Hedong, Guannei, and Longxi through Hebei and the Central Plains.
However, although Li Yuan is worried, he is not in a hurry. On the one hand, he cannot rush it, and on the other hand, because Li Yuan feels that... he can still be in power for at least ten years.
It's a pity that Li Shimin won't wait, and even Li Jiancheng is not willing to wait... He is already thirty-seven years old this year. How about waiting for more than ten years to ascend the throne in his fifties?
Of course, the one who is least willing to wait and cannot wait is Pei Shiju. He is seventy-eight years old this year. Although he is getting stronger with age, it is really difficult to predict how many years he can last.
Leaving those troubles behind, Li Yuan caressed the soap in the wooden box, thinking that Erlang was not willing to go out to Luoyang, and Dalang was not willing to let Erlang go to Luoyang. Sanhu even said privately that Erlang would go to Luoyang. , bound to rebel.
It was almost June. Li Yuan strolled out of the Lakeside Palace and took a walk by the lake. A gust of wind blew, which made Li Shan frown slightly. It did not cool him down, but only brought a burst of hot flashes.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan returned to Liangyi Palace, summoned the Prime Minister, the Prince, King Qin, and King Qi, and announced that he would set off to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat in early June.
He left Zuopu She Pei Ji of Shangshu Province, Chen Shuda and Ling Fenglun of Zhongshu Ling to assist Prince Li Jiancheng and supervise the country. They also brought with them Qin Wang Li Shimin, Qi Wang Li Yuanji and several members of the clan, as well as Shangshu Province Right Pushe Xiao Yu and Zhongshu Ling. Yang Gongren and Pei Shiju, the provincial minister under his command, went to Renshou Palace, accompanied by Qianniu Guards led by Su Dingfang, the Duke of Julu County.
Chen Shuda glanced around and thought that His Majesty was in a difficult situation. Of the three prime ministers and assistants left behind, Pei Ji was attached to the East Palace, Feng Lun was also the Sima of Tiance Mansion, and he was neutral.
Yang Gongren, Xiao Yu and others are trying to figure out the Holy Will. What does Your Majesty mean?
Should we let the Dong Palace team take advantage of the victory and pursue it, or should we make peace with Xini?
In the morning a few days ago, some courtiers impeached Du Ruhui of Tiance Mansion for disrespecting his elders and should be expelled from the capital. The two sides were quarreling over this matter.
Everyone knows that Du Ruhui is the first aide under the King of Qin, and he is really talented as a king. Once he is expelled, it will be equivalent to killing the King of Qin.
There was silence in the palace, and everyone was thinking... Because according to tradition, Li Yuan would go out to Beijing to escape the summer heat in recent years, always going to Renshou Palace, but this year it seemed to be many days earlier.
The old Pei Shiju quietly turned his head, and he clearly saw a few hesitations and a few hints of joy flashing in the eyes of Prince Li Jiancheng.
