Li Yuan originally wanted to say something, but seeing this, he lost the mood to continue.
Li Shimin is too strong and likes to impose his own ideas on Li Chengqian.
As Li Chengqian's age increased, Li Shimin's strength led to the growing gap between father and son.
This time Li Shimin used Li Chengqian as bait. Not only did he not say it in advance, but judging from Li Shimin's appearance, he also had no intention of saying it afterward.
This will undoubtedly widen the gap between the two.
If things go on like this, he is worried that Li Chengqian will do something irrational.
Li Yuan originally wanted to tell Li Shimin this, but when he saw that Li Shimin didn't care, he knew that even if he told him, Li Shimin wouldn't listen.
When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng fought openly and secretly, Li Yuan warned Li Shimin.
If Li Shimin could listen, brothers would not kill each other.
If he said this to Li Shimin, Li Shimin might think that he was alienating the relationship between father and son.
…
After a few days of cultivation, Li Tai had completely sobered up.
Empress Changsun had been living in Furong Garden and took care of Li Tai personally. She returned to the palace after seeing that Li Tai's condition was stable.
After Li Tai woke up, he learned that he had walked around the gate of hell and hated Han Wen and the family.
He is not stupid. After pretending to be ill last time and assassinating him this time, how could he not see that the family did not care about his life or death at all.
Although angry, Li Tai did not lose his mind. Queen Changsun was here, so he did not ask Han Wen to question him.
When Queen Changsun left, Li Tai immediately asked Han Wen to be found.
"I have met His Highness. His Highness is blessed with great blessings. He is not in serious trouble. It is really gratifying to congratulate him." Han Wen said with a smile.
"You guys go down first." Li Tai said to Yan.
Yan opened her mouth, sighed, and led the maid and eunuch out.
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Li Tai looked at Han Wen with a gloomy face and said.
"What does your highness mean by this?" Han Wen looked at Li Tai with a puzzled look.
"You told me that there was no danger to my life, but my life was almost lost. And didn't you say that you put the blame on the prince?"
If he could take such a big risk and put the blame on Li Chengqian, it would be worth it.
As a result, he almost died, and Li Chengqian was only suspended for a while. How could he accept this?
"Your Highness, if you don't do it more realistically, how can you deceive His Majesty? As for the Crown Prince, His Majesty wants to protect him, but we can't do anything about it," Han Wen said.
"What do you mean?" Li Tai frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty claimed that the assassination of His Highness was carried out by the remnant of Prince Yin, but the real situation is very clear to Your Highness. This matter has nothing to do with the remnant of Prince Yin. Your Majesty actually also doubts the prince, but the prince is the crown prince and it is related to the country. Your Majesty
We can only protect the crown prince, but ignore His Highness." Han Wen said.
Li Tai's face was as gloomy as ink. He learned from Queen Changsun that the person who assassinated him was the remnant of Prince Yin. He thought that Li Shimin sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly and caught the remnant of Prince Yin. Those people could not bear the torture and accepted it.
about this.
Han Wen seemed to know what Li Tai was thinking and said with a smile: "Your Highness should know that Prince Yin has been cleaned up a long time ago. How could the remnants of Prince Yin suddenly appear? Your Majesty put this matter on Prince Yin just to protect his safety."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Tai's face was very ugly. Although his assassination had nothing to do with Li Chengqian, Li Shimin didn't know. Li Shimin clearly suspected Li Chengqian, but still chose to protect him. Where did he put him?
Han Wen showed a weird smile. He had successfully inspired Li Tai's hatred for Li Shimin. When the time came to actually raise the army, Li Tai would no longer be as hesitant as before.

grassland
Half a month has passed since the last war. The Western Turks and Xue Yantuo jointly sent 200,000 troops to drive Datang out of the grassland.
"Everyone, a total of 200,000 cavalry from the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo will arrive soon. How should we deal with it?" Li Daozong asked.
"General Manager, the enemies are numerous, and they are all cavalry. We only have one hundred thousand cavalry. If we directly fight the Western Turks, we will lose miserably even if we can win. And these one hundred thousand cavalry are nearly 70% of our cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. If
I'm afraid I won't be able to explain the loss to His Majesty." Hou Junji said.
Li Daozong nodded and signaled Hou Junji to continue.
"The last general believes that we should confront the Western Turks first. The Western Turks suffered a big loss on the crossbows and will definitely not dare to attack our camp. Our army's supply line is too long. The Western Turks also know this. As long as it drags on, the war situation will be
It will be beneficial to the Western Turks, so the Western Turks are not in a hurry. Next, we have to look at the insiders of the Marquis of Jingyang County." After Hou Junji finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xuan with a smile.
Lin Xuan naturally knew what Hou Junji had in mind.
Hou Junji used this strategy to rely on Lin Xuan's inside line to win or lose the entire war.
If it drags on and no fighter opportunities are created on the inside, Datang will have no choice but to withdraw its troops.
When the time comes, Lin Xuan will bear the consequences of failure.
Hou Junji did this because he didn't think Lin Xuan's insider could have a high status within the Turks.
"Zi Chu, what do you think?" Li Daozong looked at Lin Xuan and asked.
Hou Junji didn't know the identity of the insider, but Li Daozong did.
But it was Lin Xuan who had always been in contact with Ashina Sheer. Li Daozong didn't know the specific situation.
"General Manager, Duke Lu's plan is very good. Let's follow this plan." Lin Xuan said calmly.
Hou Junji's strategy is indeed correct. Although he is plotting against Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan does not want to delay the war just to fight with Hou Junji.
If these 200,000 cavalry can be eliminated, the Western Turks will not be able to organize many troops to resist the Tang Dynasty's attack, and Xue Yantuo's strength will be greatly reduced.
Lin Xuan could still tell which one was less important and which one was more important.
"Boy Lin, don't leave yet. I have something to tell you."
After leaving the Chinese army tent, Lin Xuan was about to return to the military camp when he was stopped by Cheng Yaojin.
"What's the point of Uncle Cheng calling me nephew?" In private, Lin Xuan didn't call General Cheng Yaojin, which seemed cleaner.
"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Can you agree to this kind of thing directly? If the general manager directly gives the order, you can agree to it in a pretentious manner. In this way, even if it fails, you will not have too much responsibility. The general manager just asks
If you give me your opinion, you can agree directly. If it doesn't happen by then, you will be in trouble." Cheng Yaojin said with some worry.
"Thank you Uncle Cheng for your concern." Lin Xuan said confidently: "Since I agreed, it is because I am fully confident."
Seeing Lin Xuan's confidence, Cheng Yaojin didn't ask any questions. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you need help, just come to me directly."
"If necessary, I will definitely find Uncle Cheng. When the time comes, just don't bother Uncle Cheng." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
