Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, with a vague sense of fate lingering around him. He thought that the person he saw everywhere in the clouds had now become a powerful enemy. The funny thing was that he didn't think much about it that day, he just thought he had seen him. A pretty good talent.
And the evaluation of that man is even more ridiculous. He has no ambitions, but is very determined to fight against the Turks. He can serve as a barrier to northern Shanxi. Now that I think about it, where is this?
I heard that the prince met Li Ding'an many years ago and asked him to cook for him. Do you think it's funny or not? I wonder how embarrassed the prince would be if he thought about the ridiculous things back then.
Well, thinking of this made Li Shimin feel a lot more balanced. Everyone is generally ignorant.
Of course, these are all personal feelings, no big deal. Li Shimin had met Xiao Mian twice. At that time, how could he have imagined that this man would inherit the mantle of Nanliang and become a prince?
You must know that according to the eyes of the Li family in Kansai, who among the princes today could fall into their eyes at the beginning?
And when Li Yuan became emperor, he looked down at the world, appeased one and tried to persuade others to surrender, but he still looked at others with the eyes of a powerful family?
If Li Po hadn't suffered a huge loss, everyone in Li Tang and even Li Shimin would not have looked at Jin in such a different light.
What's more interesting is that Li Po actually has a stronger sense of destiny, but now, he has already relieved his burden, leaving the magnificent Tang Dynasty behind, and only wants to destroy the Li family in Kansai. Pull off the chariot and give him a good beating.
In fact, Li Shimin did not explain too much to Du Ruhui and the others. There is no doubt that the three of them are the most outstanding resourceful men of this era. They have followed the King of Qin for a long time. They only need to start a conversation to understand what the King of Qin wants. What, what are we going to do again?
Then the matter will be very simple, it is no different from before, just assist the Ming Lord and try our best to move forward.
The King of Qin wanted to leave the capital to lead troops, but he was worried that the emperor's intentions were unpredictable, or that the prince's party would interfere with it, so he decided to have his own way.
Going out of the capital without the emperor's order is tantamount to rebellion. This step of going out does not need to be stated clearly. It can only mean one thing, regardless of whether the King of Qin expected it or not, or even the success or failure of the future war, a civil strife. It is unavoidable.
Whether it is for King Qin Li Shimin himself or for King Qin's subordinates, this will be a real life-and-death situation, with an unpredictable and extremely dangerous future.
Father and son turned against each other, brothers became enemies, and there were powerful enemies outside. A dark road with little hope seemed to lie before them.
However, Li Shimin had already made up his mind and did not give his subordinates a chance to persuade him. The so-called risking death and living later was actually such a situation.
From day to night, and then from night to dawn, there was a faint sound coming from the study. The sound was high and low, and the debate was fierce, but these words would later determine the life and death of millions of people.
There are a lot of things that need to be done. This cannot be achieved by simply discussing how to quietly send King Qin out of the capital, but involves all aspects.
When the three of them walked out of the study one after another, Du Ruhui's face was pale and without a trace of blood, and he looked like he was about to die from overexertion of his brain, which made the other two guys who were also exhausted mentally and physically frightened.
The two of them held Du Ruhui's arm in unison, but Du Ruhui broke away. He looked at the two of them sinisterly and said: "The matter is urgent. You two should act as quickly as possible. Don't miss His Highness's important event. You must remember that you and I are deeply indebted."
, but we can’t let His Highness down.”
Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan, one held their hands and the other hammered their chests, with stern expressions.
Du Ruhui returned the gift solemnly, "You two have important responsibilities, so you must take them very seriously. If there are any major issues that are difficult to resolve, please report them as soon as possible..."
The two of them said nothing to each other, and then left.
After walking far away, Fang Xuanling looked back at the figure that looked like a willow tree in the wind. She couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. Duke Ming was probably not going to die soon... Such thoughts lingered, making him feel chilly.
concentrated……
Li Shimin in the study no longer cares about the health of his subordinates, and even their safety is no longer in his consideration.
At this time, his thoughts were somewhat similar to Li Po's. I am already in a place where life and death are unpredictable. How can you, as my subordinates, enjoy your glory?
At this time, he had stayed up all day and night, and he was also mentally sleepy, but he was still young and energetic, unlike that sick man Du Ruhui, who would make himself miserable at the critical moment.
But having said that, these years of fighting in the north and south have also left many traces on him. For example, when he led his army across the river to attack Longmen last time, he almost fell ill and couldn't do anything after that.
He took good care of himself, but in the end he was left with a chronic disease. As long as he exerted himself a little, his head would feel dizzy and his body would feel a lot of discomfort.
Now he was pacing in the study, rubbing his forehead, trying to cheer himself up.
In fact, there were many things he didn't say to Du Ruhui and others.
In his opinion, the current situation is much more critical than what he said before. This is not because of how strong the foreign enemies are, but because the country is really about to be unable to hold on.
The shortage of food and grass in various ministries has become more and more serious, and it cannot be solved at all, because each ministry has an army of nearly 500,000 men, who are stationed in various places. The generals in the army do not care about the number of soldiers, but only think that the more soldiers the better.
Many people in the court were working hard to raise food and grass. As complaints spread, there were more and more voices criticizing Li Xiaogong. As the minister, he saw clearly that if this situation could not be changed and there was no need for foreign enemies to attack, it might be possible.
Something big is going to happen.
Perhaps a general in the army was robbing the army of food, or perhaps a rebel army appeared from nowhere to attack the city, and then the whole body was affected by it, and everything collapsed.
Li Xiaogong really deserves to die. Not only did he lose Kuizhou, but he also led many arrogant and powerful generals, but he failed to calm down the war in Shu and was still calmly appeasing the mountain barbarians.
This is not only incompetent, but also extremely short-sighted, because he can neither inspire the morale of the people and the military with victory after victory, nor is it beneficial to the overall situation.
Therefore, the strategic move to the west proposed by him last year was out of helplessness. In view of the series of jokes made by Prince Tongguan, as well as the news about Wang Shichong's defeat, Xiao Xian, Li Ding'an, Dou Jiande, Li Gui, etc.,
All these things had an impact on him.
In fact, even if there is no movement in the Jin Dynasty and Li Po agrees to sue for peace, Li Shimin will still have to find a way to break the situation. He considers himself not an old and decrepit father, nor is he just thinking about stabilizing the position of the prince and surrounded by idiots.
The eldest brother Li Jiancheng, every decision he makes is for the sake of the Li family.
Just like now, since he was sure that Li Ding'an would attack, he needed to take decisive measures to deal with this situation.
Unlike Du Ruhui and others, he only saw danger, but saw hope, just like when Li Dingan captured Jinyang, he advocated in front of his father to let Li Dingan go south, set up layers of defenses, and defeat the Northern Shanxi cavalry strategy.
Generally speaking, at this moment, he has made up his mind to lead his troops to severely damage Li Ding'an in the coming war, even if he uses Chang'an as bait.
The most important thing is that the land of Jin is flourishing under the management of Li Ding'an, and it seems to be a bit stronger than that of Shuzhong. Taking advantage of the situation can lead to great achievements.
On the other hand, the King of Qin who came back with the power of a great victory was no longer the King of Qin who returned to the capital with only a few hundred relatives after defeating Xue Rengao.
If he cannot be rewarded with the title of prince, not to mention that the King of Qin does not agree, even the hundreds of soldiers under his command will not give up. Thinking of this, no matter what the dizziness or physical discomfort, they all retreat and are burned by the burning ambition.
Driven into a corner.
This is also the source of Li Shimin's sense of destiny. When Li Ding'an entered Jinyang, he immediately sent his army south to compete with Li Tang for supremacy, which led to the current situation. Today, he still has to fight with him, and victory can turn the crisis into safety.
With such a process, it's no wonder that Li Shimin would feel emotional. What he and Li Ding'an were competing for was not victory or defeat, territory, or population, but luck.
Li Shimin even felt that he had never been so excited. There was a powerful enemy in front of him, and the world would be decided in one battle. It was such a beautiful scene, and it was the most suitable for a self-proclaimed hero like him.
If he wins, he will definitely set a monument for Li Ding'an. Otherwise, there are so many people in the world, how can they set off the achievements of Li Shimin, the King of Qin?
Of course, this is all the imagination of His Highness the King of Qin. I don’t say whether this battle can determine the ownership of the world. I just say that Li Shimin is only the King of Qin and has not ascended the throne. He is not even the prince. How can he compete with the enemy for power?
transport?
Perhaps, in the end, the battle between him and Li Po could only be reduced to a fight between the princes.
Well, it can be said that this is all Li Shimin cheering himself up. Obviously, Li Shimin, who made such a decision, has rich inner activities. After all, he is also a human being, not some god.
Therefore, King Qin Li Shimin's old illness relapsed and he was bedridden. After being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, he needed to rest for a long time.
Emperor Li Yuan sincerely wanted his son to get well, so he gave him many nourishing foods. His concern was beyond words. However, King Qin did not appreciate his kindness, and his condition quickly became serious. Within a few days, he closed the door to thank guests and concentrated on recuperating in his mansion.
Shangshu Zuopu shot Pei Ji, and Qi King Li Yuanji and others came to visit him one after another. Afterwards, they were overjoyed and elated. They visited the palace more often, and they were obviously ready to let go and display their talents.
But I was not happy for two days. Someone reported that Qi King Li Yuanji had an affair with the palace people and messed up the palace affairs. I won’t mention whether Li Yuanji had such courage. It’s just that he left with the favored concubines in the harem.
It's very close, and Li Yuan's family has very good teeth...
As soon as this incident came out, even Pei Ji, who was having a heated fight with Li Yuanji, started to murmur, secretly thinking that this person was not capable of planning, let alone someone else, and rumors started...
Not to mention this, the prince was also hit hard with a stick.
