Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both nodded. Although it was just a temporary solution and quite tricky, it was indeed a good idea.
Li Shimin blinked, "This shouldn't be the princes..."
Fang Xuanling chuckled and said, "Your Highness's insight is due to Huairen's advice."
Ling Jing nodded, "I just discussed it with Xuan Ling and Ke Ming. Although it is tricky, it may be able to delay the time."
"That's natural." Li Shimin fell into deep thought again.
In the past few days, Li Shimin has continuously summoned his staff to discuss secretly in Tiance Mansion. Everyone confirmed that Li Shan's judgment was probably the truth. Pei Shiju used secret means to transfer Su Dingfang back to Chang'an. This also means that Donggong or Pei Shiju may take action at any time... ...Although the Senniu Guards are an obstacle, if Donggong is determined, success is not impossible.
The most important thing is that Pei Shiju really doesn't have much time.
Of course, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, who had been following Li Shimin for a long time, were a little confused, because the prince Li Jiancheng had not yet reached the stage of revolt. After all, Li Yuan would not be easy to save in a short time. The East Palace looked shaky, but There is still some distance to go before collapse.
What reasons could Pei Shiju use to persuade the prince to raise troops?
Li Shan didn't know either, but he knew that if something unexpected happened at this time, it might disrupt Pei Shiju's plan... Disrupting control when he didn't have the initiative was not a bad thing for King Qin.
Therefore, Li Shancai proposed to ask Li Yuan to leave Chang'an in advance to escape the summer heat. Anyway, Li Yuan had to leave the palace every summer to escape the summer heat. In this way, the two sides could be artificially cut apart.
Because if Li Yuan leaves the palace in the summer, Prince Li Jiancheng will stay to supervise the country. If there is an uprising in the East Palace, the first thing to do is to attack and kill Li Shimin, and the second thing to do is to control Li Yuan... Otherwise, Li Yuan will There are many sons, even legitimate sons, there are more than just these two.
Li Jiancheng was left in Chang'an to supervise the country, so there was almost no possibility of taking action. Moreover, this time is different from the past. It is estimated that he has no actual power in his hands. The reason is very simple. The Tiantai Mountain incident last year is still fresh in our minds. Li Yuan is not like Yu'er who only has a few seconds of memory.
This strategy can affect many, many things. The most interesting thing is that the time is right. It is now May, and the weather has gradually become hotter. In previous years, Li Yuan went to Chang'an to escape the summer heat between mid-May and the end of May. For example, last year he set off for Renshou Palace at the end of May. .
Moreover, once Li Yuan leaves Chang'an for summer vacation, he will stay there for at least two months. If Li Shimin uses some more tricks, Li Yuan may not return to Chang'an until after the Mid-Autumn Festival... No matter what kind of plan Pei Shiju has, it will be difficult to succeed.
Li Shimin seemed to be meditating on the pros and cons of this strategy, but in fact he was praising in his heart. I don't know how Li Huairen mastered this idea. It can be called an exquisite heart with seven orifices. He and Sanhu accompanied his father out of the palace to escape the summer, leaving the prince behind. Sit in Chang'an.
Even if Pei Shiju has a thousand strategies, there is no room for him to use them... No one is in the palace, what else can you do?
Unless the prince is bent on rebellion, he raises troops in Jingzhao to attack... It should be the Renzhi Palace in Fangzhou, but Li Shimin believes that he does not need to go out personally, he can easily put down the rebellion by sending a few generals to come forward, and they are stationed in Beijing. Zhao's army is unlikely to obey the prince's orders without military symbols.
In fact, if Li Yuan goes out of the palace to escape the summer heat, Li Shimin is looking forward to the prince raising his troops... By then, everything will fall into place.
Even if the prince does not raise troops, many things will change in a few months, which will at least disrupt Pei Shiju's rhythm. You must know that as long as it can be maintained, the situation will get better and better for you, but it will only get worse for the prince. The worse.
"Huairen, Huairen." Li Shimin looked at Ling Jing, "Ling Gong went back and told Huairen that Huairen will be needed again in the future."
"There is no need to keep a low profile, no need to tarnish one's reputation, no need to live in seclusion, just dare to use him!"
Ling Jingzhen bowed sincerely, "Your Highness's mind is as broad as the world. He will be known as a wise king in history."
"Ling Gong, please rise." Li Shimin picked up Ling Jing and said with a smile: "But if you want to invite father to go to Chang'an to escape the summer heat, the first thing to do is to reward the generals. I also ask Huairen not to be absent from the court next time. Father will definitely summon him." Go to Liangyi Hall to discuss matters."
"yes."
They don't know it yet, and they don't have to wait for the next morning court. Li Yuan has already sent someone to summon him, and Li Shan is still worried about the Liangyi Palace meeting.
After discussing and discussing the details, Ling Jing returned to Shangshu Province. He waited until he was released from office before returning home and went directly to Li's house.
"His Royal Highness King Qin also approves?" Li Shan deliberately turned his head away from Ling Jing, and instead stared at the small lake shrouded in light from the setting sun. There seemed to be golden threads flickering on the surface of the lake.
"Fang Xuanling also said with a smile that you need to think carefully when writing poems, but you have a quick mind for such things." Ling Jing said with a smile. Everyone discussed for a long time in Chengqian Hall today, and they all felt that Li Shan's suggestion was very practical. , and it will definitely catch Donggong off guard.
In fact, after Li Shan came up with this idea a few days ago, he hesitated for a long time because he didn't know what changes it would bring.
Li Shan had long since disbelieved the description of the so-called Yang Wenqian incident in history books. Later generations' doubts about this incident mainly focused on whether the instigator behind the scenes was Prince Li Jiancheng or King Qin Li Shimin.
Judging from the results of the aftermath, both the East Palace and Tiance Mansion had major officials exiled, but relatively speaking, the East Palace suffered more serious damage, losing two important advisers and confidants, Wang Gui and Wei Ting, while Li Shimin Only Du Yan was missing, and his status in Tiance Mansion was very average, at least far inferior to that of his nephew Du Ruhui.
But the key is that the prince gained Li Yuan's understanding afterwards, and Li Yuan's stance on the East Palace's support did not change significantly.
Although they are father and son, they are also monarch and minister. Can you understand this kind of thing?
For the sake of the throne, the prince will not take action against his father?
Li Yuan must have remembered the Sand Dune Incident in the early Warring States Period, when King Zhao Wuling was starved to death by his two sons in the Sand Dune Palace.
This is also the main reason why later generations believe that the mastermind behind the Yang Wenqian incident may be Li Shimin. It is likely that Li Yuan discovered that the Qin King's lineage was involved in this incident, but it is not convenient to make it public, let alone record it in history books.
But now Li Shan naturally doesn't think so, because he is sure that King Qi probably played a very key but unknown role in this matter.
What does Li Yuanji want to do?
What role did Feng Lun play?
Feng Lun did not allow Yang Wenqian to be promoted to the general manager of Longzhou, just because he needed Yang Wenqian to stay in Fangzhou, but what would happen in Fangzhou?
Will the direction of history follow its original trajectory?
Or will there be unpredictable deviations?
