Among the big men, although Li Xiang no longer had any fighting on the surface, wisps of gunpowder smoke began to ignite secretly. The other princes are either preparing to attack, or they are already at war with each other.
On the grassland, Nurhaci hung up silently, while Temujin, Tuoba Tao, and Yelu Abaoji were fighting in chaos. The harder Temujin beat Yelu Abaoji, the fiercer Tuoba Tao's offensive became. After all, Tuoba Tao was helping his future self by helping Yelu Abaoji.
From this, we can also see the importance of a good teammate. If Tuoba Tao hadn't been strong enough, it would have been impossible for the current Yelu Abaoji to survive until now.
Neither the Han Dynasty nor the grasslands were peaceful, and Goguryeo was no exception at this time.
Goguryeo, it is noon at this time, the sun is shining brightly, and there are no clouds in the sky. This is an ordinary day, but at this time, the Taibai Star appears in the west. The appearance of this phenomenon at noon means that the weather is about to change. ! With such a celestial phenomenon, I'm afraid a storm is coming!
In the Prince of Qin's palace, all the generals gathered here and began to make suggestions for Li Shimin. This group of Tiance Mansion generals is Li Shimin's biggest trump card and the guarantee for all Li Shimin's ambitions.
Eulji Wende said, "Your Highness, your Majesty is now wary of you. There is a prince over there, and the remaining kings of Wei, Xia, and Qi are all eyeing you. We can't delay it any longer."
As early as just after the Battle of the Grassland, Li Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, had proclaimed himself emperor and established the country as Tang.
However, for the Han Dynasty, due to the idea of the Celestial Kingdom, Goguryeo at this time was just a tiny place and a barbarian in their eyes. Except for the old neighbor Qin Zheng and Li Xiang who knew the abilities of Li Yuan and his son, the other princes just laughed at him for overestimating his capabilities.
Of course, even if these princes really have any objections, there is nothing they can do. They cannot just send troops to fight for this reason. Even if they really send troops to fight, they will not get any benefit in the end, and they will only get an advantage for those next to Li Tang. Qin Zheng. All the princes are smart people, and they will not be angry for a while, let alone make wedding clothes for others in vain, just think that the barbarians are amusing themselves.
As for Tang Emperor Li Yuan, after he proclaimed himself emperor, he inevitably wanted to grant a large number of ministers to gather people's hearts. Among them, the eldest son Jiancheng was made the prince, and it is unknown whether it was to disgust his old rival Qin Zheng, while the second son Shimin was made the king of Qin. And Qin Zheng is not only the successor of Qin, but also the king of Qin now.
As for the remaining two sons, Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba, they were named King Qi and King Zhao respectively. In addition, Li Mi and Li Yuanhao, representatives of the other two forces in Goguryeo, were named King of Wei and King of Xia respectively.
With Eulji Wende's suggestion, Hou Junji also sang: "Your Highness, you have worked hard for several years, and now the time is ripe for us to take action. If Your Highness just tolerates it, the Crown Prince, King Qi, King Wei and Xia The king and the others will definitely try their best!"
When Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Li Shimin was full of confidence and believed that he would be the crown prince. This was not only because he had the greatest military exploits among the royal family members, but also because Li Yuan had promised something to Li Shimin before.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In the end, it was his eldest brother Li Jiancheng who became the prince. Moreover, although Li Yuan broke his promise, he could only endure it and could not show his dissatisfaction with Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
In fact, all this is just the instinctive balancing method of Li Yuan as the emperor. There is no way. Over the years, Li Shimin has made too many contributions, and his prestige in the military has become more and more important. No emperor hopes that his ministers will have more achievements than the emperor, and he hopes that his ministers will have more prestige. More than himself, even if this minister is his own son.
Moreover, among the royal family members, the capable Li Daozong was very close to Li Shimin, and his daughter, who was a woman, and his stupid son, who was so powerful that he defied the will of heaven, were even closer to Li Shimin. Especially for his own stupid son who was so powerful that he could say one sentence more effectively than his father saying a hundred or even a thousand words.
In addition, generals in the army such as Ulchi Wende, Li Guangbi, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Pugu Huaien, Ashinadur, and Hou Junji all obeyed Li Shimin's advice. Even Hun Yao, Hei Te Chang Zhi, Zhi Los Si Li and others who recently came out of his Tian Ce Mansion also showed great talents.
Therefore, Li Yuan had to find ways to suppress Li Shimin for no other reason than for his own position as emperor to be strong enough. As a result, Li Yuan sat back and watched Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji install their cronies in the court, and began to reduce Li Shimin's military power through various means, in order to allow him to have sufficient control over his outstanding son.
At the same time, Li Yuanhao and Li Mi also took this opportunity to constantly stumbling upon Li Shimin. Li Shimin is the sharpest knife in Li Yuan's hand. If they don't break this knife, they will never be able to defeat Li Yuan.
At the beginning, the power of the two of them was only slightly weaker than that of Li Yuan, but now the two of them can only barely protect themselves when they join forces. In fact, if there was no threat from foreign enemies, Li Yuan would have already attacked them. For them to reach this point, Li Shimin must take at least half of the credit.
At this moment, Li Yuan was alienated from Li Shimin, and it was time for them to take advantage of this opportunity to take action.
At the same time, Qin Zheng, who had obtained the situation of Li Yuan and his son through the information from Heibingtai, temporarily gave up his plan to attack Li Tang Goguryeo again. If external forces intervene, it will only unite Li Tang internally again.
In this case, he might as well be patient for the time being and sit back and watch the battle between the various forces within Li Tang. After all, no matter how hard the wall is, it is much easier to break through from the inside than from the outside.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's life was very difficult during this period. Especially last night, Li Jingmen came to report that his eldest brother had falsely accused him of having an affair with a concubine in Li Yuan's harem, which made Li Shimin feel an endless sense of crisis.
Li Jingmen was Li Tang's intelligence organization. At the beginning, it was established specifically to target Qin Zheng's Black Ice Platform. In recent years, with Li Tang's heavy investment in Lijingmen, this organization has continued to develop.
Naturally, Li Yuan would not hand over such an institution to his son Li Shimin, who was always on guard against it. In fact, Li Jingmen directly accepted Li Yuan's instructions without interference from other agencies, and was unconditionally loyal to Li Yuan.
Most of the people in the Lijing Sect are selected from the best in the army and undergo rigorous training. All of them are absolute elites. They can kill people invisibly. They are especially good at using hidden weapons. With any movement, anything they get their hands on can be destroyed. It can be turned into a murderous weapon.
Since Li Shimin had a lot of contact with Lijing Sect when he was fighting Qin Zheng, Li Shimin had a lot of thoughts and infiltrated a handful of sand into Lijing Sect. And this time, the effect of this handful of sand was finally revealed.
Although all the princes of the Han Dynasty looked down upon Li Yuan as the emperor, this still could not change the fact that Li Yuan had proclaimed himself emperor. For emperors of all dynasties, the harem is the emperor's opposite. If a prince really has an affair with the harem, it is simply against human ethics. In serious cases, it may even subvert the destiny of the country.
The royal father and son are not as simple as the folk father and son. The twists and turns in the middle make people feel like walking on thin ice, and a bloody coup will occur if they are not careful.
Once Li Yuan really suspected that Li Shimin had an affair with the harem, and Li Yuan was very worried that his position would be replaced by his son, Li Yuan would definitely be really cruel to Li Shimin.
