Although there are still some doubts in my heart, the prince's rebellion has become a fact.
Yang Wenqian raised his troops to kill, and the Phoenix Valley was in danger. Li Yuan thought that as long as he and Erlang were killed, even if there were countless accusations and even rebellions, the prince would be able to deal with it calmly. After all, most of the officials of the Tiance Mansion were here, and he Most of the time, Qu Tutong will do some tricks.
As for the court... Li Yuan didn't think that those aristocratic families would seek justice for himself and Erlang, or even raise troops.
In fact, the aristocratic families headed by the Five Surnames and Seven Families will never ignore any forming force, but at the same time they will never become the leader of a force. This is their basic rule that has been passed down for thousands of years.
This is also a lesson learned. Back then, the Langya Wang family was called the best family in the world. The king and the horse ruled the world... It is difficult to say whether the Langya Wang family had the intention to replace it at that time. In the end, today's Langya Wang family is far from being the same. The Wang family in Taiyuan has basically declined.
Li Yuan even felt that those aristocratic families might just need a name and would choose to cater to Prince Li Jiancheng and proclaim himself emperor.
What kind of name?
Isn't this ready-made?
The king of Qin rebelled, and the prince rebelled.
Although Yang Wenqian, the governor of Fangzhou, destroyed the rebellious lineage of the King of Qin, the King of Qin had no choice but to kill His Majesty, and the prince was grieved...
Li Yuan took stock repeatedly in his mind, and sadly discovered that it was not that there were not many people raising troops, but only very few.
Princess Pingyang might be able to do it, but Li Daozong, the king of the city, is unlikely to be appointed, but Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei, is somewhat possible.
As for those members of the East Palace who were in the Phoenix Valley, Li Yuan didn't feel much resentment in his heart. Pei Ji, Zheng Shanguo, and Luo Yi were brought to Renzhi Palace by himself, and there was nothing unusual from the beginning to the end. Even when he sent people to search for them, They are all sleeping.
What I hate most is naturally the prince, Wei Zheng, who came in a hurry yesterday to express his feelings for the prince. Today, Yang Wengqian raised his troops to kill him. You, Wei Zheng, are here to slow down the troops, right?
Li Yuan remembered it very clearly... maybe it was just a matter of habit. If it weren't for Wei Zheng, the messenger would have set off at least an hour earlier.
More than an hour might mean the difference between life and death.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred and prepared to throw Wei Zheng's head outside the valley.
At this moment, two voices sounded at the same time.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
They are all officials of Tiance Mansion, one is Du Ruhui and the other is Ling Jing.
Ling Jing took half a step back before Du Ruhui continued: "Your Majesty, Wei Xuancheng is a famous person in Shandong. He is discerning and strong. He is valued by the prince. He may encourage rebellion, so he will not go to danger."
This is to say that Wei Zheng is the prince's confidant. If Li Jiancheng wants to rebel, then Wei Zheng must be an important figure. If Li Jiancheng wants to implement a delaying strategy, it is not good to send anyone. Why should Wei Zheng, such an important figure, be sent to die?
Not to mention, the Julu Wei family is not a first-class family, but it is not a declining family. There have been some figures within three generations. They sacrificed their lives to pave the way for the prince... Which family member would do this? stupid?
Li Yuan's anger subsided slightly, he regained some composure, and his eyes fell on Ling Jing's face.
"Your Majesty." Ling Jing took a step forward, "Your Majesty has the hope of the world. Now with the protection of the King of Qin, he will be able to escape from danger. When he counts the responsibilities of his crimes, he will be punished in a big way."
Li Yuan reluctantly laughed a few times, then turned to look at Li Shimin, "One is for reason, the other is for law, Tiance Mansion is really full of talented people."
"Erlang, Du Qing and Ling Qing will be able to take charge of the sect one day."
The servants in the Menxia Province did similar work, reviewing memorials and refuting edicts. It was a bit like the six subjects in the Ming Dynasty, but they were ranked as prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin pointed at Ling Jing, "Father, the order of Tiance Mansion cannot be carried out without Ling Gong's seal."
"Hahaha." Li Yuan nodded and said, "Then let Wei Zheng live first, and we will explain the canonical punishment later."
Li Shimin glanced at Ling Jing. Du Ruhui was being reasonable, which was normal, but Ling Jing used legal persuasion, which surprised him... He vaguely remembered mentioning various matters after taking over the East Palace some time ago.
There are also some talents in the East Palace, and Li Shimin is not prepared to dismiss them all. For example, the general who guards Xiazhou, Xue Wanche, and Feng Li, who is currently under house arrest. He also needs Zheng Shanguo to win over the Zheng family in Xingyang. After all, they have lost a princess, and He also wanted to express his feelings to his father through Pei Ji.
At that time, Ling Jing mentioned Wei Zheng, and Changsun Wuji strongly opposed it... because there was news from the East Palace. Before the battle at Tiantai Mountain, Wei Zheng strongly suggested killing the King of Qin. After the battle at Tiantai Mountain, Wei Zheng urged him several times. The prince raised an army.
Li Shimin remembered that Li Shan was in the East Palace, and the one he had the best relationship with was Wei Zheng.
It was already dusk at this time, and Li Yuan did not go back to Cuiwei Hall. He just sat on the ground here, eating steamed buns with everyone, and suddenly turned around and asked: "How much food and grass are left?"
Sinong Shaoqing Yu Wenying was no longer in Renzhi Palace. After a while, a young man trotted over and whispered: "It can still last for three days."
Li Yuan felt a little relieved. If he could hold out for three days, Zhang Pinggao and Liu Hongji from Jingzhao could arrive even as infantry. It would depend on whether Erlang could hold the Phoenix Valley in a short period of time, or whether there was any Other reinforcements.
"You are from the He Lou family..." Chai Shao suddenly spoke.
"The lower official congratulates Lou Xingshu."
Chai Shao explained to Li Yuan: "This person is the grandson of He Lou Ziqian, the former Duke of Julu County in the Sui Dynasty. He was Huairen's personal guard in his early years. Later Huairen established Xia City and set up Ma Yin. It was this person who presided over Xia City."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It must have been that Huairen returned to the court and took up the post of Sinong Qing, so he was stuffed into Sinong Temple."
"Yes, after all, Ma Yin later belonged to Taipu Temple." Chai Shao paused and comforted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Huairen will definitely come to help!"
This is for sure, Chai Shao thought, not to mention himself, not to mention His Majesty, Ling Jing and Su Dingfang are still here, not to mention the King of Qin is still there, otherwise the prince will ascend the throne and Li Shan will end up in a worrying way.
"That's natural." Li Yuan responded simply. There was a precedent from the battle at Tiantai Mountain last year. Of course he trusted Li Shan, but then he said: "If Wei Yunqi, the governor of Ningzhou, had not rebelled, he would have come here to have an audience. It would have been impossible. Bring a large army, but if it is Sanhu..."
Theoretically speaking, the nearest reinforcements are the six to seven hundred people taken away by Qi King Li Yuanji, including five hundred forbidden troops. Their loyalty can withstand the test.
And Li Yuanji, although a bit stupid, is very filial... Li Yuan thought so, but then he found silence around him. King Qin Li Shimin chewed expressionlessly, Chai Shao lowered his head and looked at the ground, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Su Dingfang and others All the members and generals looked away.
Chen Shuda, who accompanied Li Yuan here, couldn't help but ask: "Has the King of Qi been defeated?"
No one answered him, and Li Yuan's expression gradually turned ugly. With Sanhu's ability, defeat was not impossible... No, it was very possible, but if it was just a defeat, everyone would not react like this.
