In fact, Li Shimin could almost guess what his father was thinking, but he had no objection.
Indeed, as Li Shimin guessed, since Li Yuan has thoughts about Yi Chu and has even made a commitment to Li Shimin in private, he will not change easily, but this does not mean that Li Yuan wants to make things worse.
If the King of Qin also sends people when the messenger goes to Chang'an, maybe Liu Hongji, Huang Junhan, and Li Shiji, three direct relatives of the King of Qin, will cause trouble, and maybe the crown prince will be accused of treason... That way If so, no one can predict what the prince will do when he is forced into a desperate situation.
Although the final outcome will definitely be to be wiped out, the matter will definitely be a big deal, and it will definitely be recorded in the history books... Li Yuan never wants to be judged by future generations like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, let alone the prince. Liu Zhi.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, Prince Liu Zhi was almost forced to rebel when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Ganquan for summer vacation. In the end, he was defeated and died. If he hadn't left a grandson hiding in prison, he would have almost lost his heirs.
This was the reason why Li Yuan decided to let Li Shan come forward to control the army. On the one hand, Li Shan had prestige in the army. He also had many trusted generals with titles, who could control the army and control the direct descendants of the King of Qin such as Li Shiji and Huang Junhan.
On the other hand, Li Shan always maintained a neutral stance... At least in Li Yuan's view, Li Shan had no motive or reason to do anything else.
Li Shimin thought to himself that his father hoped to calm down the turmoil as peacefully and quickly as possible, and Li Huairen was indeed the most suitable candidate... Should he communicate with Li Shan through Ling Jing and Su Dingfang?
Forget it, given the current situation, it is better to do less than to do more, and it is better to be quiet than to move. If it is discovered, it will be unclear.
Cui Xin had already taken it away with a wave of his hand. Li Yuan personally took it and looked over it before he signaled to Zhongshu to order Yang Gongren to seal it, and then continued: "Cui Qing will draft an edict again and summon the prince to Renzhi Palace for an audience."
"yes."
This was not beyond everyone's expectation. Everything Wei Zheng said and everything he defended for the prince needed to be proven by the action of Prince Li Jiancheng personally rushing to Renzhi Palace.
Li Yuan glanced at Wei Zheng and continued: "Draw up an imperial edict and summon Wei Yunqi, the governor of Ningzhou, to the Renzhi Palace for an audience."
"yes."
I still can't trust the prince, because I'm afraid that the prince will send Wei Yun to rebel... Wei Zheng's face is expressionless, outsiders don't know, how can he not know as a close aide of the prince?
Wei Yunqi was not even from the Donggong lineage. Not to mention other things, the mere fact that he had a grudge against Pei Ji made it impossible for the prince to accept him... Anyway, Wei Yunqi's two brothers were both under the Donggong sect.
The relationship between Wei Yunqi and the East Palace can be roughly compared to the relationship between Li Daozong and the King of Qin. Whoever comes to power will do, and whoever comes to power will listen to whoever comes to power. I will not get involved myself, but if it is the party I am slightly biased to come to power. , naturally happy to see the results.
"Yang Wenqian, the governor of Zhaofang Prefecture, has an audience..." Li Yuan paused after saying this. After all, Yang Wenqian is the prince's confidant. At this critical moment, when he has not yet figured out the cause of the matter, he needs to find a suitable person. People went to summon Yang Wenqian.
After thinking about it in his mind, Li Yuan looked at Chai Shao, "Three Hus took away everyone from Prince Qi's Mansion?"
Chai Shao nodded, "The King of Qi brought more than a hundred guards to Renzhi Palace and several staff, all of whom were with the army yesterday."
"Yu Wenshao is also with the army..." Li Yuan thought for a while, "I ordered Yu Wenying, the young minister of agriculture, to summon Yang Wenqian to Renzhi Palace for an audience."
Who knows what Yang Wenqian will do?
But Li Yuan was very sure that if Renzhi Palace was attacked, it could only be Yang Wenqian, the governor of Fangzhou, so he needed to find a suitable official to make this trip. If it was from the lineage of the King of Qin, or Wei Zheng, Lu Hong, or Zheng Shanguo, it would be impossible Something is going to happen.
The King of Qi and the Crown Prince had been on good terms with each other for many years, and for a time they attached themselves to the East Palace and did not involve themselves in seizing the legitimate son, which was most appropriate.
No way, Li Yuanji's performance over the years, especially last year's performance in Renshou Palace, made Li Yuan, Li Shimin and countless others cross him off the list.
If Li Shan hadn't been a time traveler himself and happened to discover the secret relationship between Li Yuanji and Feng Lun, he wouldn't have suspected Li Yuanji.
Cui Xin drafted the edicts one by one, Yang Gongren quickly used his seals, and messengers were sent in waves in all directions. Li Yuan casually mentioned something, asking Yu Wenying to inform him by the way, and asked Qi King Li Yuanji to quickly return to Renzhi Palace... What's the point of peace at this time? The people are in chaos.
Li Shimin, who returned to the temporary office of Shangshu Province, was still frowning. Changsun Wuji on the side saw that everyone else had left. Only Ling Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were there. He immediately cursed in a low voice: "Feng Deyi and Du Chili are here." What on earth is Chang’an doing?!”
Du Ruhui was a little surprised when he heard his uncle's name. Although Du Yan had taken a position in Tiance Mansion in the past few years, he basically didn't care about anything and drank and had fun every day. How could he get involved in this kind of thing?
Fang Xuanling asked in a low voice, and Changsun Wuji told everything that happened in Cuiwei Palace. Du Ruhui rubbed his eyebrows and wanted to accuse Changsun Wuji, but finally kept his mouth shut.
Du Fengju went to find Changsun Wuji instead of himself... it must have been Du Yan's idea. If he knew about it, he would definitely have to suppress the matter first, or at least communicate with His Highness.
Ling Jing went through it in his mind very quickly, raised his head and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, Qiaogong Mountain..."
Changsun Wuji saw Li Shimin nod slightly, then nodded and said: "Qiao Gongshan was settled there by someone back then... In fact, he followed the trend. The prince had intended to win over his disciples, and Feng Deyi also knew about it before he became the prime minister."
After a pause, Changsun Wuji said with difficulty: "But the person in charge of transporting armor and ordnance is not Qiao Gongshan, but Er Zhuhuan, and so is this person... But it was this person who reported Qiao Gongshan to the prince, so he should It’s a rebellion.”
Seeing that the three staff members were silent, Li Shimin said in a conclusive tone: "This matter was not done by a single person. At that time, Feng Gong and Du Gong acted on their own."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both nodded in agreement. They were Li Shimin's most trusted and trusted advisers. Even though the line of Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan had nothing to do with them, there was no reason why the King of Qin should not consult with them before launching the plan.
Ling Jing, on the other hand, stood there dumbfounded. After a while, he nodded slightly, but he was thinking... If he guessed correctly, it should be Er Zhuhuan.
Ling Jing still couldn't figure out where Li Shan knew the time of the launch. Er Zhuhuan was a confidant of the prince and had secret contacts with Feng Lun. It was probably this person who revealed the information.
Li Shimin began to discuss the next affairs in a low voice with everyone, while Ling Jing's mind slowly let go. He thought of Lady Zhu, Zhu Wei, and Daizhou Sima Zhu Yichen...
The most important thing is that Ling Jing remembered that Li Shan said in a joking tone two years ago... Gu Ye was hedging his bets.
