"Old man, when Li Tang revolted, various places were turbulent, competing in the Central Plains. With the current leader as the leader, they fought in the north and south. It is correct to say that two-thirds of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by the current leader, right? "
"Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is a great general with great achievements in the world, but in the eyes of those who are thoughtful, he is very impressive..."
Tang Sufan spoke in a low tone, word by word.
"A big tree attracts the wind, a great power shakes the master——"
Li Yuan's figure was shaken, and his narrow eyes darkened.
Although he already knew this kind of rhetoric in his heart, when it was mentioned openly by others, he naturally felt resentful.
At that time, he was indeed afraid of the achievements of Wu Shengquan, the rebel army.
This mention has the meaning of being exposed.
After saying this, Tang Sufan came back to his senses, leaned back lazily, and chatted slowly.
"Why does he have the title of emperor right now? Even if he did not do it unintentionally, he certainly has the thoughts that some people should have~"
"What's more, when he was only the King of Qin, he already had Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Ji, Zhai Changsun, Zhang Gongjin, Gongsun Wuda, Chai Shao, Qu Tutong, Zhang Shigui, etc. Complete these first-class generals."
"As for Wen, there are Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji. Even these civil servants are all ruthless characters who have been on the battlefield~"
Naturally, Li Yuan was familiar with each and every one of Tang Sufan's names.
He even knew that Tang Sufan had not finished speaking.
Then Tang Sufan changed his subject and spoke to Li Yuan and Pei Ji.
"Two old men, if it were you who followed the famous master, would you think that your master would just be willing to be the king?"
"So who today is no longer the same person in the early years of the Tang Dynasty? Even a shopkeeper who is good at business knows how not to use other people's accounts, let alone a court?"
"So it was no longer the position of one person, but the position of a group. Even if he didn't do it, someone would push him to do it."
"And let's put this aside for now~"
"Think about it again, if he continued to do great things back then and Li Jiancheng succeeded him later, what do you think the consequences would be?"
Li Yuan was startled. Yes, if his eldest son had succeeded to the throne now.
The two forces are in conflict, one is stronger and the other is weaker. In the end, unless you keep watching, you will be in a life-and-death situation.
It must be nothing more than chaos in the government and internal strife in the Tang Dynasty, constantly giving opportunities for others to take advantage of.
Even if the result is bigger, Li Yuan doesn't dare to think deeply about it...
At the beginning, I was indeed worried that the traitor had miscellaneous intentions, and I was cleverly suppressing the traitor both overtly and covertly.
Even if he canonize the title of General Tiance and establish the Tiance Mansion, one person will be inferior to ten thousand people.
In fact, it is also to let his rebellious son understand that as long as he has the intention to serve the Tang Dynasty and assist the government, he will not be promoted, and he will be able to secure a high position in the future.
But my traitor can suppress him, but he has a group of tigers encamping, how can he suppress him?
Because once this happens, it will already be a situation where they are fighting with each other, and even the traitor cannot help but fight.
In this case, the so-called exhaustive thinking is nothing more than a joke.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan smiled helplessly.
It turns out that I am, after all, alas...
In the end, I had to use the strength to support myself and say something reluctantly.
"What my friend said makes sense~"
Li Yuan's face was grave, and Tang Sufan could also see it.
He kindly poured a glass of wine for the old man whose "hero has ended" and said with a smile.
"Why do you think this is considered a family matter of Lao Li's family~"
"Think about it, the current emperor has the merit of being a saint, but he has been suppressed by his father one after another. Even a child from an ordinary family would think that I am too fond of him, let alone someone else?"
Now that people are talking about it like this, Tang Sufan is still willing to come and give some advice.
"So, this can be considered as something happened to someone else's family. At most, old man, you will suffer some disaster. People can be tolerant, so you should also be tolerant~"
It was true that back then, in order to stabilize the great cause, Sangu Qiaoyan, the traitorous son, was also true...
When Li Yuan thought of this, he didn't know whether he had some unexplainable worries or guilt in his heart. In short, his face slowly darkened and he was speechless.
Pei Ji looked sad and sighed.
"Oh, it was so long ago."
Didn't the last half of Tang Sufan's sentence refer to him?
The old Li family is fighting to the death, and his good right servant shoots in front of him, and he is gone after saying no, who can he ask to explain~
This is the party-camp struggle in the imperial court. It is very simple, yet very complicated——
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little calm, Tang Sufan smiled and said as if chatting.
"Moreover, the main reason is that the prince was at odds with me back then. I heard that he had done countless tricks secretly, and even almost poisoned someone in the palace with poisonous wine. Tell me, he..."
"slow!"
Li Yuan's expression, which was originally as serious as darkness, suddenly became fierce, and he interrupted Tang Sufan's words with a startled shout.
Tang Sufan couldn't help but look stunned.
He looked a little surprised and asked, "What? Have you two never heard of it?"
This was a big melon back then, and no one knows yet? It shouldn’t be~
Or is this old man very excited because he suddenly ate such a big melon?
But then I thought about it and realized it was the same.
Regarding this matter for him, he only saw it from his own "A Brief History of the Tang Dynasty".
At that time, it was a family scandal that should not be publicized, and probably no one except some people in the court knew about it.
And no one dares to talk nonsense like this.
Moreover, these two old men were also from before that time. I'm afraid they were kicked out of the circle and there's no way of knowing. Or something?
Regarding these, Tang Sufan quickly made random guesses without thinking deeply about them.
But Li Yuan asked hurriedly.
"Wait a minute, Tang Xiaoyou, what did you just say? Poison to death!?"
Li Yuan's face was dark and horrified. Even though he was trying his best to control his emotions, he still had a look of horror on his face.
Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan's face, turned around and said with a dry face.
"This... I really haven't heard of it, little friend, are you afraid it's just market nonsense? You can't say this nonsense——"
Oh, this old man has a good heart——
Tang Sufan smiled and waved his hand. After all, sharing is happiness.
"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to say it~ But this was a secret back then, and I don't know if it's true."
"Although Prince Yin and the King of Qin had a grudge and even fought a lot back then, I have never heard of this. You might as well tell me about it, I will never pass it on orally!"
Li Yuan's face perked up and he spoke softly with slightly focused eyes.
The dark look just now was washed away by the sudden inner shock.
Damn, it seems like it’s human nature to eat melons and watch the excitement, right?
I didn’t realize that this old man looked depressed just now, but now he looks excited and wants to eat melon. Not bad~
After Tang Sufan cursed in his heart for a while, he continued calmly.
"Well, since these two old men want to know, I'll tell you too, just for fun."
Li Yuan and Pei Ji were tensed up at this moment, with a Mu expression on their face.
It’s been years since I’ve wanted to listen to something so carefully.
Tang Sufan looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly.
"Wude is seven years old. I heard that the prince sent someone to invite the King of Qin to a banquet. Who knows the reason? The King of Qin drank poisonous wine at the banquet and became poisonous."
"Later, King Qin was sent back to the Prince of Qin's Mansion overnight. Fortunately, King Qin was very lucky. He vomited too much blood to dilute the poison, and he barely survived~"
"Some people say that someone cleverly borrowed help to get rid of the King of Qin and framed Li Jiancheng~"
"Later, some people said that this was what his eldest brother did directly. It took so long, who knows~"
While talking, Tang Sufan leisurely took another sip of wine.
When Li Yuan heard this, his face was full of doubts, but he was also shocked.
It sounds unclear whether it is true or not, and there are also suspicions hidden in it.
However, Li Yuan also remembered that the traitor had said that he was seriously ill for a period of time, and Li Yuan personally visited him to express his condolences.
And the time, isn’t it exactly the seventh year of Wude!
