"Hahahaha." After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Li Jiancheng finally couldn't hold it anymore. He looked up to the sky and laughed. His face was full of pride. This time he defeated Li Shimin by a big margin. And what Li Yuan said in the end was The meaning is very clear. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes next time, Li Shimin will definitely lose this time.
"Brother." Seeing Li Jiancheng's laughing appearance, Li Yuanji next to him curled his lips and hummed: "Why do you have to use so many hands and feet? Just kill Li Shimin. You If you don't want to take action, I'll do it. I've recruited a lot of people in the world recently. If I want to kill Li Shimin, there will definitely be no problem."
When Li Yuanji said this, his eyes kept flashing fiercely, as if the person he wanted to kill was not his second brother, but the enemy who killed his father.
The reason why Li Yuanji is like this is naturally due to Li Jiancheng. Among the Li brothers, Li Shimin had a very good relationship with the dead Li Xuanba, but his relationship with the other three brothers was very average. And Li Shimin had a very good relationship with the dead Li Xuanba. Yuan Ji was reckless by nature and liked martial arts and bad writing. Originally, Li Yuanji admired his second brother who was outstanding in martial arts and good at fighting. But Li Shimin, because of the relationship between Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, treated his fourth brother tepidly. It was not popular, but it turned Li Yuanji's admiration into resentment. With Li Jiancheng provoking him, Li Yuanji's resentment towards Li Shimin became deeper and deeper. Until now, he was already eager to kill Li Shimin to vent his feelings. hate.
After seeing Li Yuanji, he kept saying that he wanted to kill Li Shimin. Li Jiancheng was quite satisfied in his heart. But he was still a little hesitant about killing Li Shimin. Li Jiancheng was still a little hesitant about killing Li Shimin. In any case, Li Shimin was his biological brother. Although the two had broken up before. He was shameless, but he was a compatriot after all. He wanted Li Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng hesitated again, Li Yuanji couldn't wait any longer. In this regard, Li Jiancheng was far inferior to his little brother. Li Yuanji had a clear distinction between love and hate and acted decisively. Since he had decided to marry Li Shimin If you catch the right one, you will not miss any opportunity to defeat your opponent. From this point of view, Li Yuanji seems to be more suitable to be a leader than Li Jiancheng. Li Yuanji could not wait to shout: "Brother. If you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. Don't you understand this truth? If Li Shimin wants to fight with you, eldest brother, then he will definitely fight to the end. Even if we win against him today, there is no guarantee that he will not make a comeback in the future. By then, we may not have such good luck."
"This..." Although what Li Yuanji said made sense, Li Jiancheng was still a little hesitant. Even though he was walking around in the study, he still couldn't make a decision. He muttered: "After all, he is your brother. .Furthermore, if we kill him, what will happen if my father finds out."
"Brother, you treat him as a brother, but he has never regarded you as an eldest brother. If he has any eldest brother in his heart, how can he come to compete with you, eldest brother?" Hearing that Li Jiancheng was still so hesitant, Li Yuanji also became anxious. .Immediately shouted: "As for the father, huh, if you are really worried, eldest brother, just leave all this matter to the younger brother. If the father is to blame, then the younger brother will shoulder the responsibility. Why? Well, big brother, I'm just waiting for you to nod now."
Li Jiancheng's brows were furrowed. The joy of his previous victory in the Tang Palace was gone. He hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Let's do this. Let's give him another chance. I'll invite him tonight." The banquet at the Prince's Mansion is nominally to discuss the matter of letting Gongsun Wu Da and Liu Hongji go north with you. If he is willing to give up, then we will still be good brothers from now on. But if he still wants to fight, then everything will be according to your idea. Let’s do it.”
Seeing Li Jiancheng still had the same attitude. Li Yuanji was helpless. He could only grit his teeth and stare at the door. But he kept muttering in his heart: "Li Shimin, I will prove that I am better than you. It's best." The way to prove it is to let you die in my hands. I can do it. I will definitely be able to do it."
With Li Jiancheng's current strength, whatever he wanted to do was naturally very easy. In less than half an hour, Li Jiancheng's invitation had been sent to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the reply from the Prince of Qin's Mansion was straightforward. He immediately agreed to Li Jiancheng's request. Although Li Shimin was ordered by Li Yuan to think about his mistakes, Li Jiancheng came forward to invite him. Li Yuan would not really pursue this order. After nightfall, Li Shimin took a few of his men to So we came directly to the Prince's Mansion.
At the gate of the Prince's Mansion, he saw that Li Shimin came with only two or three personal soldiers. Not to mention a large group of people. He didn't even bring any of his generals. Li Jiancheng couldn't help but secretly admire Li Shimin's boldness. Behind Li Jiancheng, Wan He also looked at Li Shimin secretly. He was also filled with admiration for Li Shimin's daring to attend the meeting alone.
Since this time it was a banquet in name only, it was natural that not only the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were participating. Li Jiancheng also invited several of his subordinates to make the scene more exciting, and Wan He was naturally among them. One member. Originally, Li Jiancheng thought that Li Shimin would bring Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Liu Hongji and others. Unexpectedly, he only brought a few personal soldiers. As a result, Li Jiancheng was here with great fanfare. On the contrary, he seemed a bit petty.
But the matter has come to this. It is impossible for Li Jiancheng to drive back all his men. He can only step forward with a smile and say to Li Shimin: "Second brother, you are a distinguished guest. Come, come, come in, please come in. Ah. .What about General Gongsun, General Liu and the others?"
The names of this banquet were all hung on Gongsun Wuda and Liu Hongji. It stands to reason that Li Shimin really wanted to bring these two people. And Li Jiancheng mentioned these two people at this time. It was nothing more than wanting to It shows that he is very generous. It also implies that Li Shimin's actions are not generous enough. Although Li Jiancheng is a bit indecisive, his method is not much worse than Li Shimin's. Just one sentence can eliminate the impact of Li Shimin coming alone.
A bright light flashed across Li Shimin's eyes. He glanced at Li Jiancheng. Then he said: "Brother, you're welcome. General Gongsun and General Liu had been searching the counties near Chang'an for the fake news. Although my father has said it today No further searches are allowed. But the two of them haven't come back soon, so I came to the banquet first."
Li Shimin responded with a smile, but revealed the matter in an understatement. Looking at the smile on his face, it seemed that he was not affected by what happened during the day. Seeing Li Shimin's attitude. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji both murmured in their hearts. Then Li Jiancheng smiled and made an invitation gesture and said, "Oh, it's the same when second brother is here. Second brother, please come inside."
Facing Li Jiancheng's invitation, Li Shimin did not hesitate at all. He followed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji into the Prince's Mansion with a smile. Soon, everyone sat down in order in the hall of the Prince's Mansion. Li Jiancheng served as the host. Naturally, they sit at the top. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji sit separately as Li Jiancheng's right and left hands. As for Wan He and others, they all sit at the bottom as guests.
Wan He sat honestly among the crowd. Now Wan He's status has improved a lot compared to before. Although he is nothing under Li Yuan, but for Li Jiancheng, he is second only to Wei Ting and Feng Li. .But Wan He knew very well in his heart that he was not really short of money after all. Besides, Chang'an was full of crises. If the treasure hadn't been found, he would have disappeared long ago. So Wan He, who could have sat in the front row, was I chose a seat in the back row and hid quietly among the crowd. I secretly observed the confrontation between the Li brothers in front of me.
Following Li Jiancheng's greeting, the banquets were served one after another. And with the investment of Wanhe Gold, Li Jiancheng's treatment in the Prince's Mansion became better and better day by day. After this banquet, there was not one thousand eight hundred taels. That money can't be taken off. Seeing the fine wine and delicacies placed on the table in front of him, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with light. He said with a smile: "Brother, I have a lot of money recently. I don’t often have banquets like this in Prince Qin’s Mansion. It looks like I’m going to have a feast tonight.”
Of course, Li Shimin's words cannot be simply understood literally. They are clearly alluding to Li Jiancheng's arrogance and lewdness. This is a big or small hat. Li Jiancheng can still keep smiling for the time being. And Li Yuanji is sitting opposite Li Shimin. But he was not so easy to talk to. He looked at Li Shimin with a gloomy face and hummed: "Second brother, what do you mean by this? The eldest brother kindly invites you to a banquet. Your words are full of guns and sticks. It's too much. It’s too much.”
Regarding Li Yuanji's words, Li Shimin just smiled faintly and said with an indifferent expression: "Fourth brother, where did you start talking about this? When did I speak with a gun and a stick? It's you, fourth brother, what should I say. He can be considered your second brother. When you spoke to me like this, you didn’t know. You thought we were enemies, not brothers."
"You." Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuanji immediately became angry. He was about to start a crime on the spot. But Li Jiancheng, who was sitting above him, had a cheek twitch, but he still endured it and shouted to Li Yuanji: "Okay. Four. Brother, stop making trouble."
Li Yuanji obeyed Li Jiancheng's words. After Li Jiancheng said this, even if Li Yuanji had any objections, he could only suppress his anger. At the same time, he winked at Li Jiancheng. The meaning of this was probably .Li Shimin was so disrespectful. He clearly did not want peace talks and wanted to persuade Li Jiancheng to take action.
