Chapter five hundred and ninety third: Disaster moves eastward
Li Yuan also had troubles in his heart. He could only stare at Yuan Lian Bao coldly. He suppressed his anger, but had no way to vent it. Yuan Lian Bao would not suddenly bring up old things for no reason. Li Yuan believed that behind Yuan Lian Bao. There must be a shadow of Yuan Baohe in it. And Li Yuan also knew that the reason why the Yuan family did this despite breaking up with Li Yuan was for the same purpose as Dugu Chen. It was to put pressure on Li Yuan. He didn't dare to do it again. Making a decision that harms the Yuan family. The meaning of the Yuan family is very simple. Our Yuan family has sacrificed a Yuan Hu before. Now this Yuan Junbao cannot be sacrificed under any circumstances.
Li Yuan could see it. Naturally, Dugu Chen who was next to him could also see it. Immediately, Dugu Chen took a step forward and snorted with a sneer: "What a joke. Yuan Hu was killed by a merchant. This is Chang'an It’s something that everyone in the city knows. Now you’re running to the gate of Prince Tang’s Mansion to make a fuss. What does this mean? The Yuan family has a huge business. Isn’t it that they can’t even deal with a single merchant?”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Dugu Chen's words. In one sentence, he revealed that the Yuan family wanted to make a fuss about Yuan Hu's incident. He had already obtained Li Yuan's consent and would uphold justice for the Dugu family. Naturally, he did not want to be treated like this by the Yuan family. The method was destroyed. After hearing this, Yuan Lianbao raised his head, with tears still in his eyes. He stared at Dugu Chen and hummed: "Dugu Chen, what do you mean by that? What's the matter with that merchant?" You have the guts to kill my son and still get away with it. Everyone knows in whose hands my son died. Today our Yuan family only asks His Highness the King of Tang to give our Yuan family justice."
Yuan Lianbao's words pointed the finger directly at Li Yuanji and Li Yuan. Now even Li Yuan couldn't deal with it. After all, the Yuan family is not really that easy to deal with. Especially when Li Yuan raised his head and saw clearly When the funeral procession was going on, my scalp couldn't help but feel numb. I saw that there were many important ministers and generals in the army among the funeral procession. These people were not all Yuan family members, but they were all Guanlong. Nobles. Obviously, if the Yuan family really fights Li Jiaming with swords and guns, they can also pull up a considerable force. This is something Li Yuan dare not take lightly.
Li Yuan felt terrible in his heart. Before, Li Yuan dared to trample the Yuan family down again and again. Mainly because Li Yuan was sure that the Yuan family would not dare to cause too much trouble. But look at today's situation. What if Li Yuan's final result If the two families could not be satisfied, then the Yuan family would probably risk everything to the death. And looking at Dugu Chen, his face turned serious again at this moment. He stood there upright with the dozen or so Dugu family members behind him. It seemed like it was like it was at the beginning. He was silently putting pressure on Li Yuan.
Just when Li Yuan was distressed, Liu Zhenghui beside Li Yuan secretly pulled Li Yuan's arm and winked at Li Yuan. Li Yuan and Liu Zhenghui were considered old partners. When he saw Liu Zhenghui's expression, Li Yuan immediately immediately Understand. Even when he said to Dugu Chen and Yuan Lianbao: "You two, two, what you two are thinking in your heart, I already know a little bit about it. Please trust me. This time I will definitely I will give you a satisfactory answer. Please just go back for the time being."
Dugu Chen and Yuan Lianbao raised their heads at the same time. Looking at Li Yuan's expression, they murmured secretly in their hearts. Obviously, it would be impossible to force Li Yuan to express his position now. Neither of them dared to do so. They forced Li Yuan too fiercely. They looked at each other, but they glared at each other fiercely. Then they cupped their fists and saluted Li Yuan and said, "That's it. Xiaomin, please leave." After that, the two of them took their respective people with them. .just retreated.
After such a large group of people retreated, the confidence that Li Yuan showed on his face immediately disappeared. It was replaced by a gloomy face. Immediately, Li Yuan flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and turned around. After entering the Tang Palace, Liu Zhenghui and Pei Ji looked at each other, with wry smiles on their faces, and followed closely behind Li Yuan.
After the three of them came to the study together, the anger that Li Yuan had been suppressing finally came out. Li Yuan's face suddenly turned ferocious. He flew up and kicked the desk in front of him hard. At the same time, Li Yuan's face turned ferocious. He casually grabbed a piece of exquisite pottery next to him. He couldn't help but smash it on the ground. It was immediately smashed into pieces. Then, Li Yuan smashed it again and again. Suddenly, the entire study was smashed. A mess.
Liu Zhenghui, who came in behind Li Yuan, had just stepped into the study. A fine porcelain bottle was smashed in front of him. Looking at the mess in the study, Liu Zhenghui gave Pei Ji a helpless smile behind him and turned his head. He cupped his fists and said to Li Yuan: "Prince Tang, please calm down. There is no need to be so angry that you are so angry."
"Bastard. Bastard. Bastard." The ferocious look on Li Yuan's face showed that the anger in his heart had not been fully vented at this moment. He cursed three times in a row. Then he stopped while breathing heavily. He passed. After a long time, Li Yuan gradually calmed down. However, his face was still full of anger. He turned his head and hummed to Liu Zhenghui and Pei Ji: "How about it? What can you do to deal with this?"
Liu Zhenghui, who had made gestures to Li Yuan before, took a step forward, raised his hands to Li Yuan and said: "Prince Tang, the matter has reached this point. No matter it is the Dugu family or the Yuan family, they will not let it go. For this reason. The only way is to find a vent point as soon as possible. The King of Tang ordered that the anger of both families be vented at this vent point. As long as the anger is vented, the situation will be much better. When the time comes, we will come back to discuss with them. It must be simple Much more."
Hearing what Liu Zhenghui said, Li Yuan finally found a direction. But after much thought, he still didn't know what to do. And Liu Zhenghui just thought of such a direction. Pei Ji's eyes lit up and he said: "Prince Tang, my subordinates do have an idea."
Li Yuan also valued Pei Ji very much. After hearing what Pei Ji said, Li Yuan quickly turned his head and looked at Pei Ji. He asked, "Master Pei, what do you think? Feel free to speak out."
Pei Ji paused for a moment, and then said: "Whether it is the Dugu family or the Yuan family, what they want now is just an explanation. And the cause of this matter, after all, is actually because of the incident a few months ago. A merchant named Qian Que killed Yuan Hu, a member of the Yuan family. It would be better for the King of Tang to push this man out and let the Dugu family and the Yuan family find the trouble for Qian Que."
Hearing Pei Ji suddenly say this, Liu Zhenghui looked at Pei Ji in surprise. He did not expect that Pei Ji would actually say this. Although Liu Zhenghui did not interfere in the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he was concerned about what happened in Chang'an City. Even if he doesn't know everything, he still knows a little bit about it. Although Qian Que is just a businessman, it is now the main source of Li Jiancheng's financial resources. It can be said that he is a very important helper for Li Jiancheng. And Pei Ji has always stood by Li Jiancheng. Bian. Logically speaking, he and Qian Que should be on the same front. How could he advise Li Yuan to deal with Qian Que?
In fact, Liu Zhenghui didn't know. Although Pei Ji was also an important member who supported Li Jiancheng, he was very dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng's recent actions of frantically buying up officials and generals from the DPRK and China. In Pei Ji's view, Li Jiancheng's behavior was somewhat eager for quick success. Those who can be won over by money will have much effect at the critical moment. So Pei Ji is planning to use this opportunity to get rid of the money shortage that provided financial resources for Li Jiancheng, thereby cutting off the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Jiancheng. The source of the eagerness for quick success.
Li Yuan and Liu Zhenghui naturally didn't know what Pei Ji was thinking. However, in Li Yuan's opinion, this method was very feasible. That Qian Que was just a businessman. Although Qian Que had helped Li Yuan before It's a lot of work, but for Li Yuan, as long as he can complete his great cause, nothing is indispensable.
But just when Li Yuan was about to agree, he hesitated again and said, "It's just that I have expressed my intention to keep Qian Que before, but now I'm pushing him out as a scapegoat. This, it's a bit uncomfortable, isn't it? .”
When Li Yuan said this, he was not really worried about Qian Que, but because he was concerned about the damage to his reputation. Pei Ji seemed to have guessed that Li Yuan would have such worries. He immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Tang. We don't need to push Qian Que out openly. We only need to send people to tell the Yuan family and implicitly indicate that the King of Tang will no longer protect Qian Que. Then Yuan Baohe will definitely send people to deal with Qian Que. Wait until Yuan Baohe After Qian Que was killed, Tang Wang stood up and scolded the Yuan family, which also earned face for the Dugu family. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"
Hearing Pei Ji say such a method, Li Yuan's eyes immediately lit up. In Li Yuan's opinion, this method is indeed good. It not only preserves his reputation, but also successfully moves the disaster eastward, successfully solving the Yuan family's problem. The matter with the Dugu family can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. In this way, Li Yuan can also concentrate on preparing for the throne. This is the most critical thing in Li Yuan's heart.
Thinking of this matter, Li Yuan immediately said to Liu Zhenghui: "Master Liu, I will leave this matter to you. But you must remember that if the Yuan family wants to seek revenge on Qian Que, they must first lead Guan Long All the families have expressed their support for me to ascend to the throne. Hum hum. As long as I can pass this level, I am just a Yuan family. I have plenty of opportunities to deal with him slowly."
When Li Yuan said this, his eyes were filled with cold light. Since he became the lord of Chang'an, no one has dared to threaten him like this. The Dugu family can just give it up. After all, they have always supported him. But Yuan The family actually dared to do this. Li Yuan had already made up his mind. After he ascended the throne, the first person he would deal with was the Yuan family.
