If it were an ordinary person, they might not know the connection here at all.
But as His Majesty Li Er's intelligence chief, Li Junxian naturally knew why Li Shimin behaved like this.
Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Baoguo, is actually a typical inspirational figure who turned over as a diaosi.
When I was young, I didn't do any serious work, I only knew how to cause trouble.
According to historical records, Duan Zhixuan was tall and tall, but he was a rogue and violated the law many times.
It can also be seen from this that Duan Zhixuan can be said to be a bad boy when he was a child.
In 611 (the seventh year of Daye), Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went on an expedition to Goguryeo. Duan Zhixuan was fourteen years old at the time and enlisted in the expedition.
Later, Duan Zhixuan lived in Taiyuan with his father and was appreciated by Li Shimin.
Later, Duan Zhixuan made many meritorious deeds and was promoted to the second right guard of the Qin Palace due to his merits.
In 626 (the ninth year of Wude), Prince Li Jiancheng wanted to murder Li Shimin and bribed Duan Zhixuan with a large sum of money in an attempt to induce him to submit.
Duan Zhixuan refused to accept it and informed Li Shimin of the matter. Later, he, Yuchi Jingde and others launched the Xuanwumen Incident to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Soon after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Duan Zhixuan was appointed General Zuo Xiaowei and granted the title of Duke of Fan.
Duan Zhixuan has been in a high position since then. He was just changed to the title of Duke of Baoguo last year, and he has been regarded as a very popular minister since then.
If we only look at his life story, Duan Zhixuan can be said to be a loyal general. Unfortunately, as his official position increases, Duan Zhixuan becomes a bit arrogant.
Sometimes Li Shimin even obeyed and disobeyed Li Shimin's orders, appearing restless.
Not only did he make friends with aristocratic families, he even brought soldiers back to the mansion to serve as private soldiers.
All these actions were certainly not pleasing to His Majesty Li Er.
I was just trying to find a good opportunity to give Duke Bao a beating.
The conflict between Yang Fan and Duan Guan this time will definitely lead to a big fuss.
Although he didn't want bloodshed to happen during the New Year, since it had already happened, His Majesty Li Er certainly wanted to use Yang Fan's hand to give a warning.
Furthermore, if His Majesty Li Er arrests and punishes Yang Fan now, outsiders will not think that it is because Yang Fan violated Li Shimin's taboo.
One would only think that Li Shimin still defended Duke Duan Zhixuan, which was inconsistent with Li Shimin's inner thoughts.
On the other hand, if he just goes with the flow and watches Yang Fan make a big fuss, Duan Zhixuan will definitely think that His Majesty Li Er is using Yang Fan's hand to beat him, which is exactly what Li Er wants.
Of course, Li Shimin would not easily forgive Yang Fan's mistakes.
Who allowed Yang Fan's stick to provoke the thorn in His Majesty Li Er's heart?
Li Junxian could predict that after Yang Fan caused trouble for Duan Guan, His Majesty Li Er would still keep his anger in his heart.
When there is a chance in the future, we will calculate the old and new accounts together.
Li Junxian sighed slightly, already mourning for Yang Fan in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan was so smart that one day he would be treated as a gunman.
What’s even more ridiculous is that there is no benefit at all!
But Li Junxian admires Yang Fan's toughness even more.
All this time, Yang Fan was either seeking death or on the way to death.
But every time I can save the day, I really admire you!
I really want to see what method Yang Fan can use to escape this time.
In fact, Li Junxian has a high opinion of Yang Fan.
Although before he said he wanted to cut off Duan Guan's arm, Yang Fan had already guessed that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Bao.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan did not hesitate to take action after Duan Zan arrived with the imperial guards.
According to historical records, there was an interesting story between Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan.
In the original history, in 636, when Empress Changsun was buried, Duan Zhixuan and Yu Wenshi respectively led troops and horses to guard Suzhangmen.
Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to their residence at night.
Yu Wenshiji opened the door to let the envoys in, but Duan Zhixuan closed the door and refused to let the envoys in, saying, "The military gate cannot be opened at night."
The messenger said: "I have the emperor's handwritten edict."
Duan Zhixuan said: "It's hard to tell the truth from the false at night."
The messenger had no choice but to wait until dawn.
After hearing this, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty praised: "This is a real general, Zhou Yafu is nothing more than that.
Although this story praises Duan Zhixuan's uprightness in a positive image.
In fact, we can feel the anger and dissatisfaction in Li Shimin's heart.
As an emperor, Li Shimin was such a conceited emperor, but his subordinates did not carry out the orders he gave.
If Li Shimin is not angry, he is really a saint!
Is Li Shimin a saint?
the answer is negative.
Then why did Li Shimin praise Duan Zhixuan when the envoy was blocked and not allowed to pass?
It's actually easy to understand.
On the one hand, Li Shimin wanted to show his generosity and show his magnanimity.
On the other hand, it should be whitewashed by history books in order to praise Li Shimin.
Secretly, Li Shimin may have been thinking about how to kill this disobedient subordinate!
Who is Li Shimin!
He was a decisive and ruthless emperor.
Duan Zhixuan didn't listen to his order and opened the door, but Li Shimin wanted to reward him, which was impossible even with his butt.
From these we can see that Li Shimin and Duan Zhixian should have had conflicts very early on, or perhaps Duan Zhixuan was arrogant and did not listen to orders.
Although due to his own reasons, Changsun Wugou did not die last year, nor did the above story happen.
But it is conceivable that the relationship between His Majesty Li Er and Duan Zhixuan should not be too harmonious. This is also the reason why Yang Fan dared to commit the crime.
In Yang Fan's view, a duke who is jealous of the emperor, even if he is in a high and powerful position, cannot make Yang Fan become a coward.
Halfway up Mount Li, Yang Fan and the others were still confronting Duan Zan.
Yang Fan's words also made Duan Zan dare not act rashly.
If the Forbidden Army is forced to take action, once this word reaches His Majesty Li Er, there will be big trouble!
But if he just retreats, Duan Zan will definitely be unwilling to do so. What will happen to the Duke Bao's face in the future?
For a while, I was in a dilemma, even riding a tiger with difficulty.
At some point, Duan Guan had already woken up.
Hearing the discussion among the people who were eating melons fighting for their property, and seeing that his eldest brother had not ordered the Imperial Army to arrest Yang Fan, the murderer, Duan Guan shouted:
"Brother, why didn't you quickly order the guards to arrest the murderer and send him to be treated? Is it possible that you really told them that you want to take the opportunity to get rid of him so that you can monopolize the family property in the future?"
Hearing this, Duan Zan was very depressed and secretly cursed his brother for being a pig.
Is the second child really a fool to believe such nonsense?
However, when he saw that his arm was broken, he couldn't scold him, so he could only glare at him with hatred.
But he didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly asked two imperial soldiers to carry his penis to the doctor for treatment.
If the delay really leads to Duan Guan's death, he may really be accused of deliberately causing his brother's death to fight for family property.
By then, even if Duan Zan had eight mouths, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
After Duan Zan was carried off, Duan Zan turned to Yang Fan and said in a deep voice: "A certain second brother just teased a few ladies. The ladies didn't have much to lose, but Marquis Zhongyi chopped off one of his arms. You
Don’t you think it’s too much?”
"I don't think so!" Yang Fan chuckled.
Duan Zan turned blue with anger and said angrily: "This is too much bullying! My father will definitely come and demand an explanation from you!"
For the sake of face, he could only insist on saying this, but he did not dare to take actual actions.
Duan Zan finally figured it out!
This Yang really lives up to his reputation, he is a big stick through and through!
Obviously, this guy is not afraid of serious trouble at all. If he orders the guards to capture him, it will definitely be a situation that cannot be ended.
What made him even more uneasy was that the matter had been going on for so long, but Bai Qi never showed up, which gave Duan Zan a bad feeling.
