"No! This is not feasible! That's His Majesty the King of Chu. He helped His Majesty and helped us win the Xuanwumen Incident, and he also shot King Qi. He deserved a lot of credit! This is not even about giving rewards for merit. The result is that the big man will be killed. The hero is given to the Turks. If I say this, it will really chill the hearts of the people in the world, Your Majesty!"
"That's right! Your Majesty's plan is not advisable!"
"No, perhaps there is no prince more suitable to integrate into the Turks than His Highness the King of Chu."
"……."
Some officials objected and some agreed.
Most of them are the same as those who took sides before.
Those who agreed with the Weishui Treaty agreed with the Chu king sending it to the Turks.
Those who disagree are disapprovers.
But one person changed from being in favor of the covenant to disapproving of it.
That is Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui held a pivotal position in the civil servant group of the Tang Dynasty and was honored as Fang Mou Du Duan by later generations.
"Your Majesty, I think other princes are more suitable for the selection of the prince! King Chu has made great contributions, so we cannot let him feel cold!"
Du Ruhui made suggestions very sincerely.
Now Li Shimin was in trouble.
He is a talent-lover.
In this Xuanwumen incident, King Chu's contributions were not only among the top three, but also among the top five. He was the greatest contributor among all the princes.
Let him go….
indeed.
The identity is weighty enough.
But…….
He can't bear it!
Li Shimin sighed, temporarily undecided.
"Step back, please step back and let me be quiet."
He rubbed his head with a headache and asked the officials to step back.
This matter made him hesitate, but he couldn't hesitate for long, because the Turks were still waiting for news, and he had to confirm the candidate as soon as possible.
All officials retreated.
On the way, Li Shimin left Changsun Wuji behind.
"Auxiliary machine, why did you choose King Chu?"
"Give your opinion."
Li Shimin and he were childhood playmates, and he knew that Changsun Wuji must have his own ideas this time.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of King Chu?"
Changsun Wuji asked back.
King Chu, how about...
Li Shimin's eyes flickered, he touched his chin, and said seriously: "He is extremely capable, and even Li Jing and other military attachés think he has the same demeanor as I did back then."
It is precisely for this reason that when the King of Chu is mentioned, all the military officers get angry.
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "That's the problem."
"The talents of the King of Chu are not considered by some officials to be inferior to you, but he is not born from the Queen. His sharpness is also noticed by the ministers, but it is much better than His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, how did you obtain the throne?"
boom! ! !
After being reminded by Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin stood up instantly.
Eyes widen!
How to get the throne?
Snatched!
Li Shimin controlled most of the Tang Dynasty, but his father, Li Yuan, wanted to support Li Jiancheng in power!
He can endure this, but his subordinates can't either!
so.
It was snatched from the hands of that partial father!
"Auxiliary machine, are you saying that King Chu may also have a different kind of Xuanwu Sect revolution in the future?"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not make a conclusion, but it is not impossible."
"A few years ago, the King of Chu was still a sick man, but suddenly he got better overnight, and since then he has been able to show off his talents, astonishing all the officials."
"I would like to ask, is it true that someone can have an epiphany overnight and transform from a useless person to an incomparable god? I think it is impossible, so there is only one possibility for the change of King Chu. He was pretending before!"
"The purpose of disguise, what is the intention, it has to make people... think deeply."
Changsun Wuji sighed.
He was now determined and thought it would be best to send King Chu to the Turks.
Without him!
Just because King Chu was not born to Empress Changsun, he was so powerful that Li Jing, Qin Shubao and others were amazed by him. He gave birth to a son as if he were the second prince. He was also so powerful that Du Ruhui wanted to marry his daughter to him.
There is history as a guide.
Li Shimin's example is before him. Changsun Wuji had to take precautions for his nephew's future.
If such a person develops, will he be another version of Li Shimin?
It was difficult to get rid of the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty. Many military officers liked him. It was better to take advantage of the Turks to get rid of this troublesome person.
Li Shimin obviously also thought about this problem. He frowned: "Auxiliary machine, your concerns are not unreasonable."
"But the King of Chu has many supporters."
Changsun Wuji's eyes were filled with gloom and his voice was as cold as the cold winter in October.
"That's why we need to get rid of him even more! Unless Your Majesty doesn't want the Queen's heirs to succeed to the throne, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne!"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly.
indeed!
It was impossible for him to let a child other than Queen Changsun take over the throne. It would be troublesome for the King of Chu to stay in the Tang Dynasty!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Turks, they got rid of the King of Chu and completed the prince's mission.
simply!
Kill two birds with one stone! !
"Okay! Announce the edict immediately! Let the King of Chu be the candidate for the prince who will send the Turks this time!"
"Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is riddled with holes. My Tang Dynasty will not allow a second me to appear!"
Li Shimin didn't want to discuss with the officials again, his eyes were full of determination.
Obviously, he himself also knew what terrible things he had done, so he needed to prevent such things from happening to future generations.
He wants to create a bright road for Prince Li Chengqian!
avoid!
Fratriculation! !
Changsun Wuji instantly beamed with joy, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "Auxiliary machine, it's up to you to inform the King of Chu about this!"
"In order to prevent the King of Chu from resisting, you take my bodyguard with you. If he resists, immediately force him to go to the Weishui River and hand him over to Jieli Khan!!"
.….…….…….….
Du Fu.
Since Du Ruhui returned home, he was drinking alone, angry and laughing.
He was angry because the good son-in-law he liked was slipping away from Du Mansion.
You are also angry that your Majesty cannot tolerate the King of Chu, and despite the dissuasion of many military attachés, you want to send the King of Chu to the Turkic land!
He was laughing again. This edict, the edict sent by the King of Chu to the Turks, was known to all officials, but the King of Chu did not know it yet! !
"Irony, how ironic!"
Du Ruhui looked at the golden edict in front of him, smiled bitterly and even cried.
The good son-in-law he likes is going to be sent to the Turks.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you drinking so much when you come back? Mom saw it and started talking about you again."
At this time, her daughter Du Ruyan came over.
Its appearance makes the moon shy of the flowers, and the fish sinks and the geese fall.
In Chang'an, she has the title of the most talented woman.
She is the dream lover of countless young men from aristocratic families.
In their eyes, Du Ruyan was so cold, arrogant, and unconventional.
To emerge from the silt without being stained is elusive.
Like a fairy!
But actually.
Du Ruyan has long been in love with His Highness the King of Chu. Although His Highness the King of Chu has never expressed his thoughts about her, Du Ruyan just likes her.
Sometimes I can't see His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and I will sigh secretly late at night, feeling lost.
A few days ago, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, I learned that King Chu was going to participate. I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat. I even went to Taoism to divine fortune for King Chu, for fear that King Chu would make a mistake.
He is a complete love brain.
