Among the big men, although Li Xiang is no longer fighting openly, wisps of gunpowder smoke are beginning to burn secretly. The other princes are either gaining momentum or are already at war with each other.
Got a piece.
On the grassland, Nurhachi hung up silently, while Temujin, Tuoba Tao, and Yelu Abaoji were fighting in chaos. The harder Temujin hit Yelu Abaoji, the fiercer Tuoba Tao's offensive. After all, Tuoba Tao
When Ba Tao helps Yelu Abaoji, he is helping his future self.
From this, we can also see the importance of a good teammate. If Tuoba Tao had not been strong enough, the current Yelu Abaoji would not have been able 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 am afraid that a storm is coming!
In the Prince of Qin's Mansion, all the generals of Tiance Mansion gathered here and began to make suggestions for Li Shimin. This group of generals of Tiance Mansion were 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 still 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 named his country 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 their old neighbor Qin Zheng and Li Xiang, who knew the abilities of Li Yuan and his son, they had some ideas.
The other princes just laughed at him for not overestimating his abilities.
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. They will only get an advantage for those next to Li Tang.
Qin Zheng. All the princes are smart people. They will not be angry for a while, let alone make wedding clothes for others in vain. They will just treat the barbarians as amusing themselves.
After Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, he inevitably wanted to make a large number of ministers to win people's hearts. Among them, the eldest son Jiancheng was made the prince, but it is not known whether it was to disgust his old rival Qin Zheng, and the second son Shimin was made the prince.
He was named the King of Qin by him. And Qin Zheng, not only the successor to Qin, is also called the King of Qin now.
As for the remaining two sons, Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba, they were named King of Qi and King of Zhao respectively. In addition, Li Mi and Li Yuanhao, representatives of the other two forces in Goguryeo, were named King of Wei and King respectively.
King of Xia.
With Eulji Wende's suggestion, Hou Junji also sang: "Your Highness, you have worked hard for several years, and now the time is ripe, we can take action. If Your Highness just tolerates it, the 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 Li Shimin before.
Go through some things.
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 of this is just the instinctive balancing method of Li Yuan as the emperor. There is no way. In these years, Li Shimin has made too many contributions, and his prestige in the military has become more and more important. No one can do it.
The emperor hopes that his ministers will be more successful than the emperor, and he hopes that his ministers will have more prestige 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. His daughter, who was a woman, and his foolish son, who was extremely powerful, were even closer to Li Shimin. Especially his own, who was extremely powerful.
As a silly son, one sentence from Li Shimin is more effective than a hundred or even a thousand words from his father.
In addition, generals in the army such as Eulji Wende, Li Guangbi, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Pugu Huaien, Ashina Duer, and Hou Junji all obeyed Li Shimin's advice. Even recently, he followed his genius.
Hun Yao, Black Teeth Chang Zhi, Zhi Los Si Li and others who came out of the mansion also showed great talents.
Therefore, Li Yuan had to find ways to suppress Li Shimin for no other reason than for his position as emperor to be strong enough. From then on, Li Yuan sat back and watched Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji install their cronies in the court, and began to use various means to
The purpose of reducing Li Shimin's military power was 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 stumble Li Shimin. Li Shimin was the sharpest knife in Li Yuan's hand. If they didn't break the knife, they would 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 together. In fact, if the threat of foreign enemies had not been there, Li Yuan would have already
They attacked them. Li Shimin must take at least half of the credit for getting them to this point.
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 learned about the situation of Li Yuan and his son through the intelligence of Heibingtai, temporarily gave up his plan to attack Li Tang and Goguryeo again. If there were external intervention, it would 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 battles between the various forces within Li Tang. After all, no matter how hard a copper 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 had a very difficult time during this period. Especially last night, Li Jingmen came to report that his eldest brother framed him for having an affair with a concubine in Li Yuan's harem, which made Li Shimin's life even more difficult.
There was an endless sense of crisis.
Li Jing Sect is 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 Li Jing Sect, this organization has also continued to expand.
developed.
Naturally, Li Yuan would not hand over such an organization 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 concealed weapons. With any movement, anything they get their hands on can be destroyed.
It can be turned into a murder weapon.
Since Li Shimin had many contacts with Lijing Sect when he was fighting Qin Zheng, Li Shimin put a lot of thought into it and infiltrated a handful of sand into Lijing Sect. But this time, the effect of this sand was also
It finally showed up.
Although all the princes of the Han Dynasty looked down upon Li Yuan, the emperor, this still could not change the fact that Li Yuan had proclaimed himself emperor. For emperors of all dynasties, the harem was the emperor's inverse relationship. If a prince really has something to do with the harem
Contamination is simply against human ethics, and in serious cases it may even overturn 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 between make people feel like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, a bloody coup will occur.
Once Li Yuan really suspected that Li Shimin was having 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.
