Just when Wang Gui and Li Gang were retiring and leaving the Prince's East Palace, a person came out from behind the screen of the meeting hall. This person was short, somewhat thin, and had an ordinary appearance, but his expression was quite cold.
When Li Jiancheng saw the person coming, he immediately asked with a smile: "Xuancheng, what do you think of this matter?"
The visitor is none other than Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, the famous “No. 1 troll in history” in history. Wei Zheng is still serving as Prince Xi (pronounce this word xian, three times!) under Li Jiancheng.
Why Wei Zheng turned out from behind the screen was arranged by Li Jiancheng. Compared with Wang Gui and Li Gang, Li Jiancheng actually believed in Wei Zheng more. Even though Li Jiancheng called him Teacher Li Gang, Li Jiancheng was still unsure about this teacher. After all, The relationship between Li Yuan and Li Gang is there, so Li Jiancheng will not completely trust Li Gang, and Wang Gui was recommended to him by Li Gang, so he will not completely trust Wang Gui. Now Li Jiancheng completely trusts Wei Zheng.
It was Li Jiancheng who arranged for Wei Zheng to listen to their discussion behind the screen.
It is said that Wei Zheng is the "first troll in history", but before he received this title, Wei Zheng also had another title, that is, "Poisoner", which shows how smart Wei Zheng is.
"Go back to Your Highness!" After Wei Zheng saluted Li Jiancheng, he straightened up and said, "From what I can see, this plan is feasible, but Your Highness cannot wait for Wang Gui and Wang Gui to recommend him, but should recommend himself to His Majesty himself!"
"Why?" Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned. It was Li Jiancheng who had discussed with Wang Gui that Li Gang recommended him to fight the Turkic cavalry and then send troops to suppress Liu Heita, but now Wei Zheng has put forward different opinions.
"From my perspective, if the King of Qin wants to send troops to face Jieli Khan directly, the King of Qin should submit a petition in person to ask for a fight. But if His Highness the Crown Prince sends troops because of someone else's recommendation, I'm afraid he will be at a disadvantage!" Wei Zheng He still looked expressionless.
Wei Zheng's words were not fully explained, but Li Jiancheng already understood what Wei Zheng meant.
Although the difference between self-recommendation and recommendation is just one word, the effect may be completely different. The former means active, while the latter means passive. Now the dispute between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin for the crown prince has become equally fierce, so whoever takes the initiative will win. Leave a better impression in Li Yuan's mind. This is what Wei Zheng wants to remind Li Jiancheng.
"Thank you Xuancheng for the reminder!" Li Jiancheng is also a smart man. Except for the four brothers of the old Li family, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Li Xuanba, who died young, it should be said that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are both people who have achieved great things, so Li Jiancheng can accept advice from Wei Zheng It’s no surprise that the salutes were given.
As for Li Yuanji, the evaluation in the "Old Book of Tang" is: "Yuan Ji is crazy, and there are signs of overturning the nest." And the evaluation in "New Book of Tang" is: "Guess the bird is a good soldier, and he has lived in the border for a long time. It’s more arrogant and extravagant.”
Whether it is "New Book of Tang" or "Old Book of Tang", the evaluation of Li Yuanji in these two books is, according to later generations, the second generation of lawless people.
In fact, Li Yuanji himself cannot be entirely blamed for Li Yuanji's character. Li Yuan and Queen Dou are also responsible. However, Queen Dou died early, and the biggest responsibility is Li Yuan. The cause of everything is actually Li Yuanji's appearance.
According to historical records, the eldest brother Jiancheng was a handsome and handsome man, the second eldest son also looked like a tall man (see the court portrait of Comrade Li Shimin for details), and although the third eldest son Xuanba died young, he was not too bad at first thought. Only this old man had a handsome appearance. Si Yuanji is surprisingly ugly.
It is said that a son does not despise his mother for being ugly, and a mother will not despise her son for being ugly. However, it is said that when Li Yuanji was born, he was so ugly that he frightened Empress Dou and asked her to throw him away. Later, there was a maid in the Li family named Li Yuanji. Chen Shanshan secretly brought Li Yuanji back and raised him secretly. After Li Yuan came back, Chen Shanyi told Li Yuan about the incident, saving Li Yuanji from death.
However, the maid and wet nurse named Chen Shanyi did not get good results. According to historical records, when Li Yuanji grew up a little, he became cruel, warlike, and dissolute. Chen Shanshan kindly tried to dissuade Li Yuanji, who was still a child at the time, but Li Yuanji directly ordered him to be killed!
It can be seen how severe the psychological distortion caused by Li Yuanji's lack of parental love. Therefore, a large part of Li Yuanji's character is caused by the lack of parental love.
So dear readers, if you have children, you must get closer to them! Of course this is far from the truth.
He said how dare Wei Zheng agree, so he hurriedly avoided it, and at the same time saluted, "His Royal Highness, you have broken the villain. Now that Your Highness has understood all the power, I will leave!" After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he left the meeting hall.
Wei Zheng left, Li Jiancheng returned to the palace, and sat on the bed. His face, which was still normal, suddenly turned pale. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he coughed violently. Hearing Li Jiancheng's cough, Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin held a A bowl of Chinese medicine came in.
"Dalang, why are you doing this?" Zheng Guanyin asked softly with a look of regret on his face, looking at Li Jiancheng who was coughing violently while covering his chest.
"There is no way! I don't have much time left!" Li Jiancheng endured a cough and his chest heaved. He took the Chinese medicine from Zheng Guanyin's hand and drank it in one gulp. As the Chinese medicine was taken down and the tea was taken, Li Jiancheng's face became rosy. , no one can connect Li Jiancheng's state just now with Li Jiancheng at this time.
"This is undoubtedly a way to quench thirst by drinking poison!" Zheng Guanyin took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the remaining Chinese medicine juice from the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth, his heartache palpable.
"That must be done! Otherwise, the Li family will not be stable!" Li Shimin's eyes shot out two sharp cold lights, as if he wanted to see through the palace door, and his tone was indescribably firm.
"Hey!" Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but sigh, and without saying anything else, she just rested her head on Li Jiancheng's shoulder.
At this time, Lu Chen, who was far away in Xiachengguan Village, Niangziguan, was also summoned by Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning.
Under the leadership of Fang Qi, he passed through the guards on both sides and entered the meeting hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Li Xiuning sitting on the main seat in the center. Li Xiuning was dressed in a white robe with embroidered phoenix and arrow sleeves and a jade belt across her waist. She was sitting on the main seat with a heroic appearance.
Standing on both sides of Li Xiuning were two female officers wearing red arrow-sleeved robes. One of them, Lu Chen, had already seen him. She was the female general who stopped Fang Qi from killing him.
Following him were generals wearing armor standing on the left and right. As Lu Chen stepped into the meeting hall, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Lu Chen, who was wearing strange clothes and wearing a short hair.
