night
After the eldest grandson sorted out the gifts sent by Li Jing, he returned to the study in the small courtyard and looked at Li Shimin, who had woken up and was sitting in the study.
Li Shimin's expression looked a little loveless, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
There's also the smell of burnt paper
Um?
The eldest son stared suspiciously at Li Shimin, who was sitting there with a somewhat ugly face, and then chose to close the door and go out. She didn't want to know what was upsetting Li Shimin.
As a wife, she has to care about her husband, which involves the family and the dynasty. She wants to find peace in her identity as mother and queen mother, while creating greater disasters.
and
Li Zhi has recently neglected his studies and needs to teach him a lesson.
There is also a need to return some gifts to Li Jing's family. This matter should be handled by Yu Xiaoqian, not Duan Hong or Yu Qian who is beside him.
Not long after the eldest son walked out of the study, Li Shimin summoned Duan Hong. After Duan Hong entered the study, the two talked quietly for a while. A dog poked half of its head out of the corner. It listened intently to Li Shimin and Duan Hong. The talking dog had a look of confusion on his face.
What are these two humans going to say?
Isn't it the usual eating, drinking, or meeting someone?
ε=(??ο`*)))Alas
confuse
don't understand
Make a note to ask other brothers and sisters.
With Gouzi by his side, Duanhong's ears would naturally be able to hear clearly, and he would not attack them rashly. If Li Mingda knew that there was a dog missing, the current good situation would collapse in an instant. .
Duan Hong doesn't think a dog is precious, but it represents an attitude and concealment. It is true that both he and Li Shimin have something to hide. Bai Qisi and Chunjun are not the last power in Li Shimin's hands. There is also a group of people who are more hidden behind the scenes. They have been walking all over the Tang Dynasty.
As for where they were hiding, Duan Hong smiled. They were hiding among the bad guys from all over the Tang Dynasty. These bad guys were responsible for the investigation and arrest. Even Jinyiwei had such full-time personnel.
The internal cleaning of Jinyiwei was too harsh, and many people assigned by Duan Hong and Li Shimin were affected. In addition, after Li Mingda ascended the throne as emperor, the test for the three provinces and six ministries became increasingly strict. Fishing for money has long been a thing of the past, and the bad people in your hands have once again been lost.
There are bad people all over the place and there are many people there. They cannot form a cohesive force and can only serve as spies for intelligence and carry out some small-scale operations.
Detection and Assassination
The detectives are still okay, but the assassins can barely get the manpower for any operation now, and most of the spies have lost contact.
Today, when Li Shimin was talking to Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian, Duan Hong was sorting out the gifts and found a superstitious letter from a bad person. He calmly took it out and kicked it into his arms.
Duan Hong did not read the content of the letter in advance. If it were in the past, Duan Hong would have just read it when he was responsible. Now the bad guys will have cut off contact with Li Shimin. No matter what the content is, it will be left to Li Shimin to deal with personally. .
After Li Shimin sobered up, he read the contents of the secret message and did not show it to Duan Hong. Instead, he continued to ask Duan Hong a previous question: "Why did you give up Baiqisi and Chunjun?"
Duan Hong: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. Your Majesty knows that we have these people in our hands. If we don't take them out, they will all die. After people die, there will naturally be nothing~!"
Answer calmly
Li Shimin felt helpless in his heart. The Tang Dynasty was now prosperous and peaceful. He had planned many times to regain the throne. This ambitious man Li Mingda sent Li Ji and others to defeat Goguryeo and incorporated it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and then disappeared.
After Li Mingda sent Zhao Yun to defeat Tubo and unify China, this heart almost completely disappeared. People must be self-aware and sincere. Instead of being willing to cause trouble and eventually become a joke and kill the whole family, it is better to let the concubines and the children of concubines live in peace.
As long as he can stick to the bottom line and not attack the people around Li Mingda, Li Mingda will naturally not go crazy and go to Zhangsun and Li Chengqian's biological mother and brother for surgery.
"Duan Hong, I'm not willing to give in~!"
Duan Hong, who has followed Li Shimin for so many years, is very clear about Li Shimin's current situation. To be honest, Li Shimin has long since lost his desire to resist. The Li family actually believes in the prairie rules of the weak and the strong. After Li Shimin led the people to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuan looked at Yuchi Jingde, who was covered in blood and carrying someone's head, and immediately declared Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to be treason, and let Li Shimin take charge of government affairs.
Why is this? Naturally, he understands in his heart that between the current situation and the future, Li Yuan was passive when he raised the army. Behind the scenes, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were instigating. What is more accurate is that Li Shimin saw the opportunity and confirmed that the Sui Dynasty was about to be destroyed. The new dynasty was about to enter the competition. The Li family occupied the land in Guanzhong and had a natural advantage.
Rather than being destroyed along with the Sui Dynasty, it is better to rise up and create a new world of natural enemies to show off one's ambitions. After Li Yuan became the emperor, he also understood the difficulties of his cousin Yang Guang, and even said that he was more difficult than him.
Li Yuan finally caused a lot of trouble for Li Shimin, and in the end he never left the palace where he was imprisoned.
Li Shimin didn't dare to let it go, but did Li Mingda dare?
She didn't dare
He has supporters all over the Tang Dynasty, and most of the army is under his control. As soon as his edict is issued, he can raise millions of Qin Wang's troops in an instant.
If this is the case, Li Shimin feels that if Li Mingda is cruel, he may follow his example. As long as he kills all the qualified successors, people who have no choice will have no choice but to follow.
Duan Hong learned a lot about Li Shimin. It seemed that Li Shimin was unwilling to give in, but in fact he just wanted to find a way out. In the past, Duan Hong would definitely give him a step forward, but he didn't plan to do that today. It would actually be good for Li Shimin to wake up as soon as possible.
Without the protection of Li Shimin and Bai Qisi, the bad guys' cats and dogs would simply not be able to compete with the Jinyi Guards that had grown into a behemoth.
What's more, Duan Hong felt that this secret letter was sent by His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun in order to find out Li Shimin's true thoughts.
"Your Majesty, if you are not willing to do so, I am willing to accompany you."
(⊙o⊙)…
Logically speaking, shouldn't Duanhong give himself a step up? What do you mean by what you said today? Are you encouraging me to go and make trouble with my daughter?
But pull it off, I won't get into trouble with that.
Recalling his previous quarrel with Li Mingda, Li Shimin's face darkened.
I have never won a fight with my daughter~!
