Facts often exceed many people's expectations. The first round of the battle for the prime ministership is just the beginning in many people's eyes. Most people think that the Guanlong family will not give up this position easily, and they will definitely compete fiercely with the prince for this position.
Although Li Zhiyun felt that Guan Long had no chance to compete for the position of prime minister, the struggle between the prince and the King of Qin would not end easily.
But only on the third day after the end of the dynasty, Li Yuan announced that Chen Shuda was appointed as Nayan and entered the political hall as counselor of state affairs.
Not only were many people incredulous about this, but even Li Zhiyun felt that the news came too quickly, leaving him unprepared at all.
In his opinion, Li Yuan must be biased towards Chen Shuda, but he would not make such a hasty unilateral decision, and there must be some games.
"Something must have happened in the meantime!"
Li Zhiyun said firmly to Du Ruhui.
He believed that his guess was correct, and the confrontation between the great dynasties also confirmed his guess.
"The saint must have known about King Qi."
Du Ruhui handed the Di newspaper to Li Zhiyun and said: "The Di newspaper said that Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Turks, threatened Jinyang, sent King Qi to Bingzhou to take charge, and set off three days later. This is enough to explain everything. Although there were rumors in the court before that the saint would send Qi
The king sat in Taiyuan, but the sage never issued an order, but this time the order was given decisively and urgently."
"But why didn't my father inform me?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled.
Du Ruhui explained: "Your Majesty, after all, this matter is related to the dignity of the royal family. The fewer people know about it, the better. I guess that only a few people know about it."
Yes, this is a scandal!
He takes it for granted!
"Chen Zhengde, send someone to investigate Chen Zhengde's situation!" Li Zhiyun immediately ordered Li Zhen to investigate Chen Zhengde.
Later, he received the news that Chen Zhengde had been appointed governor of Yangyang and had left the capital with his family.
After getting the news, it was already dark.
Li Zhiyun and Du Ruhui were silent in the room for a long time.
"Your Majesty, my subordinate's plan was not good this time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Du Ruhui admitted his mistake.
Li Zhiyun shook his head and said: "It's not your fault. It's because I am too confident. I think that my father will definitely inform me about the matter. I think that King Qin will not take action so quickly. This matter is because I have not considered everything comprehensively."
After saying that, he felt cold all over.
His second brother, without blinking an eye, pushed for Chen Shuda to take over, and at the same time sent Li Yuanji to guard Taiyuan.
And he himself never showed up from beginning to end.
Good idea!
Will one day in the future he will be manipulated by the King of Qin like this?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun felt a deep sense of crisis.
"Keming, do you think I can continue to stay in Chang'an? Can I continue to be a fool?"
Du Ruhui was slightly silent and said: "The struggle between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin is far more intense than we imagined. Although it has not been made public, this confrontation also means that the two sides have completely torn away their pretense. Now that the King of Qi has left the capital, the king will definitely be beaten by them in the next step.
The two of them got together."
"Do I, the king, continue to be loyal to the king and father?"
"Yes!" Du Ruhui said firmly: "As long as the king is impartial, the prince and King Qin will not offend the king at this time."
Li Zhiyun rubbed his cheek and sighed: "The King of Qi only showed a flaw, and he was demoted from the capital. If I continue to stay, I will become the second King of Qi sooner or later."
There is a saying that goes well, if the boss fights with the second child, the third child will die.
Although he is impartial, he cannot stay out of the situation.
"Your Majesty, do you want to leave the capital temporarily?" Gu
"Yes, staying now is not good for future development. The prince has suffered a big loss this time and will definitely not give up easily. In this case, I might as well give the venue to them and take a step back!"
He thought very clearly that there was no place for him in the court now. No, it should be that no one could help him.
With his status, he can certainly enter and leave the palace easily to discuss matters, but the problem is that no one will help him, and his opinions will not be taken seriously at all. Even if a big event happens, he will become the focus of the tug-of-war between the prince and the King of Qin.
When the time comes, people will definitely be offended.
If that's the case, then get out first!
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Without the support of the family behind him, it was really difficult.
Seeing the depressed look on Li Zhiyun's face, Du Ruhui consoled him: "Your Majesty, things have not reached the worst yet. Although King Qin won this time, he will not have the energy to pay attention to the King in the future. Not mentioning the prince, King Qi alone will not
Give it up and let it go."
"You're right." Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and smiled, "It's just the beginning, just take your time."
His worries are unfounded. Although Li Yuanji, this troublemaker, cannot pose a threat to Li Shimin, it is disgusting enough.
Three days later, Li Yuanji took Yu Wenxin, Xia Houduan, Dou Dan and others to prepare to go to Taiyuan to guard.
This time, Li Yuan did not come to see his son off, and not even a single servant came to send a message. Only the prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Chu went out of the city to see him off.
"Wulang, brother, I am a bereaved dog this time and have to go to Taiyuan. Remember, in the future in Chang'an, when you encounter problems, you should always consult with your elder brother. Remember, be careful of some villains." Li Yuanji patted Li Zhiyun on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
explain.
The King of Qin on the side looked calm, as if he had not heard anything, and said: "Fourth brother, when you go to Taiyuan, be careful of Liu Wuzhou. If he goes south, he will definitely get the support of the Turks. It is not suitable to fight with him in the field. You should stick to Taiyuan City and choose the opportunity to break it. The Turks soldiers
Most of the horses are good at horse fighting. They know very little about siege warfare. Taiyuan is a fortified city. As long as you hold on, the Turks will definitely reveal their flaws. You must remember this."
"snort!"
Li Yuanji's response was a cold snort.
In Li Zhiyun's opinion, it was a cold snort filled with anger.
"Fourth brother, I'm waiting for you to come back in Chang'an." Li Zhiyun clasped his fists.
Li Yuanji said: "Okay, brother, I will remember it. But Wulang, brother still said the same thing, you have to remember, be careful of some villains."
"Ahem." Li Jiancheng couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed twice and interrupted Li Yuanji. He said with a smile: "Yuanji, what King Qin said, you must keep it in mind."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll remember it!" Li Yuanji said through gritted teeth.
In such a weird atmosphere, Li Zhiyun is not a fool. He knows that those things must have happened secretly.
He didn't know the process, but judging from the results, everything was within his expectations.
Li Zhiyun was speechless as he watched Li Yuanji lead the army away.
"Zhiyun, go back." Li Jiancheng patted him and motioned for him to go with him.
Without waiting for Li Zhiyun to agree, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Let's just go together. I also want to ask Zhiyun what he thinks of Liu Wuzhou."
Li Jiancheng twitched his face and laughed.
The three brothers walked side by side. No one who looked at them could say that the relationship between brothers was so good.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Qiao looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and followed up with relaxed steps.
"His Royal Highness Prince Qi is guarding Taiyuan, so it must be okay." Changsun Wuji said.
Fang Qiao nodded lightly and said, "That should be the case."
Li Zhiyun was sandwiched between his eldest and second brothers, but he was silently thinking about where he should go next.
We can't stay in Chang'an for the time being, so we have to find a way to avoid it temporarily.
