Li Shimin took his chopsticks, took out some vegetables from the pot, and started eating.
"Well, it tastes good. It also has a smell similar to dogwood, but it tastes better than dogwood."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he started to eat a lot.
Lin Xuan and others looked at each other, neither sitting nor standing.
Li Shimin took out the chopsticks and found that there was no more food. He said dissatisfiedly: "Why is there no more food?"
"Your Majesty, you have to put the vegetables in this hot pot while eating, otherwise it will be overcooked over time." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he stepped forward and put some vegetables into the pot.
Li Shimin took a sip of wine and said, "Why are you standing? Sit down."
"yes."
Cheng Chumo and others responded and sat down.
"By the way, what did you just say that you asked me to agree to?" Li Shimin asked.
Cheng Chumo, you guys look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what to say.
"Lin Xuan, please tell me." Seeing that Cheng Chumo and the others were silent, Li Shimin directly named them.
Lin Xuan was speechless, could you not have heard me just now?
"Back to Your Majesty, they think it's too cold outside the Emperor's tent." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's really hard, so you guys don't have to go there tomorrow."
Cheng Chumo and others were overjoyed. Just as they were about to express their gratitude, Li Shimin said, "The military camp is also quite hard. I will arrange a more relaxed official position for you when you return to Chang'an."
"Your Majesty, it's not hard at all. We are willing to go."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is our honor to stand guard for the Supreme Emperor."
Cheng Chumo and others said quickly.
Li Shimin said that he would arrange easy official positions for them, which meant that he would arrange idle positions for them.
It's definitely relaxing. I sleep at home every day and have a salary. How can it not be relaxing?
If this is true, their legs will definitely be broken when they return.
Although Li Dejiang was not in the army, he was afraid that Li Shimin would give him his title.
"Really?" Li Shimin asked.
"real."
Cheng Chumo and others nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, forget it. I thought you had enjoyed it for so long that you were no longer able to endure hardships like your fathers." Li Shimin said.
After Li Shimin was full, he wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, I haven't eaten so full for a long time. Send this hot pot to me tomorrow."
"yes."
Several people sent Li Shimin away before returning to the camp.
Liu Da followed Cao Hu and Zhang Dayong in.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty did not allow us to report this. I really have no choice but to ask for your forgiveness, Master Marquis." Liu Da said with a guilty look on his face.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, don't think too much, just go down first."
This matter is indeed not their fault. Who dares to stop Li Shimin when he comes?
"Zichu, you're being unkind and sold us directly." Cheng Chumo complained.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty has already heard it outside. Do you think it will be fine if you don't say anything?"
"How could your Majesty be eavesdropping outside?" Cheng Chumo didn't believe it.
"You are talking so loudly, why are you eavesdropping?" Lin Xuan said angrily.
…
"Your Majesty has already informed everyone." Hu Changcheng said.
Li Yuanchang asked: "What did they say?"
"They were very dissatisfied with the Emperor's situation and expressed their intention to help the Emperor recover," Hu Changcheng said.
Li Yuanchang sneered: "What you say is better than what you sing."
He finally understood that those people who said they were dissatisfied with Li Yuan's situation were actually dissatisfied with Li Shimin's suppression.
They wanted to see Li Yuan because they had no confidence in him.
Now that I heard that Li Yuan was under surveillance, in order to protect myself, I still dared to see Li Yuan.
They didn't even think about it, even if Li Shimin didn't arrange for anyone to monitor him, no one would be monitoring him secretly?
If there wasn't anyone available, Li Yuanchang wouldn't have wanted those people at all.
"It's been a few days since I entered the East Palace. Is there any progress?" Li Yuanchang asked.
Hu Changcheng shook his head and said: "Not yet. The prince often asks him to stand on the stilts, but he doesn't do anything else."
Li Yuanchang murmured, "This prince's nephew is strange. He doesn't like women and he doesn't like men."
"I think it's not that he doesn't like it, it's just that now that the crown prince's position is stable, he knows how to exercise restraint," Hu Changcheng analyzed.
"You mean to find a way to destabilize his status? It's just that this cannot be done in a short time. This king will return to his fief in the next year." Li Yuanchang said.
Hu Changcheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we are not suitable to do this. It is best for the King of Wei to do it."
"He? It's not that I look down on him. As Li Shimin's favorite son, he actually allowed Li Chengqian to secure the position of crown prince. He is simply a waste." Li Yuanchang said disdainfully.
Hu Changcheng said: "The King of Wei is still capable. He had previously forced the Crown Prince into chaos and competed with the King of Wei at every turn. His Majesty had a very bad impression of him. Until Lin Xuan appeared, the Crown Prince began to change his strategy and not compete with the King of Wei.
Wang Xiangzheng did some practical things, which made His Majesty's impression of him change."
"He may have had an advantage before, but now he has lost it. I think it is better to help Li Ke secretly." Li Yuanchang said.
Hu Changcheng said: "The King of Shu has resigned and will return to his fiefdom after the year. Only the King of Wei is suitable. I got news that Lin Xuan will go to Lingnan after the year. It will be a good opportunity then."
"There are still more than three months until his wedding to Li Lizhi. Why would he go to Lingnan at this time?" Li Yuanchang said with some disbelief.
It takes almost a month to go from Chang'an to Lingnan. If there is any delay, it will take even longer.
Lin Xuan's wedding is approaching, how can he go to Lingnan?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. I heard that he has made an agreement with Geng Guogong Feng Ang and will set off after the year." Hu Changcheng said.
"So, it is indeed an opportunity." Li Yuanchang nodded and said.
Hu Changcheng said, "I have studied the prince. The prince is indeed capable, but he has a big shortcoming, which is his lack of security. If no one reminds him, once the King of Wei puts pressure on him, he will fail.
Frequently."
Li Yuanchang sneered and said: "He naturally has no sense of security. The prince in front of him is Li Jiancheng, and the one above him is the former Sui prince Yang Yong. Both of them were princes, but they died miserably in the end. It's strange that he can have a sense of security."
Already."
"When Lin Xuan leaves Chang'an, once the prince feels threatened and no one reminds him, and does something to disappoint His Majesty, then the prince's opportunity will come." Hu Changcheng said with a smile.
"Indeed." Li Yuanchang nodded and suddenly said: "Do you think we should find someone to kill Lin Xuan on the road?"
He had attracted Lin Xuan before because Lin Xuan's words had weight in front of Li Chengqian.
Since Lin Xuan has a great influence on Li Chengqian, getting rid of him is the best choice.
Otherwise, with Lin Xuan here, it would be very difficult for him to master Li Chengqian.
Hu Changcheng was slightly startled, thought for a while and said: "Although the chance of success is high, if it is leaked, it will also be a big trouble. The prince's goal is the throne, it is better not to cause any complications."
"Lin Xuan offended Qiwang of the fifth surname. As far as I know, Qiwang of the fifth surname assassinated him twice. I sent people to assassinate him. Others will only suspect that the family did it, and will not suspect me.
." Li Yuanchang said.
Hu Changcheng said: "What the prince said, I have also heard, it seems that Lin Xuan and the aristocratic family reached some agreement, and the aristocratic family stopped moving. Another reason why I don't agree to assassinate Lin Xuan is because the aristocratic family assassinated him twice.
Failure to succeed means that this person is a bit mysterious and we don’t know the depth, so it will be difficult to successfully assassinate him."
Li Yuanchang nodded and said: "You are right. In this case, let's keep him for now."
