Chapter 18 Moved Li Shimin to tears

Bashui Villa!

Li Shimin closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, as if trying not to let tears flow in his eyes:

Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?

Since he received news about Li Yuanai and Changsun Wuji, he has asked himself more than once.

Isn't it given enough?

Li Shimin asked himself that he had done everything he could do, and that there was a prince who had high hopes at the age of twelve and began to deal with major events in the temple.

Which prince started to supervise the country at the age of fourteen, the Prime Minister's state secrets, and the power to know the major military and national affairs?

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, was sent to the East Palace, hoping that he would become an outstanding emperor in the future.

The emperor's position was originally his, so why did he rebel?

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out or understand it.

After a while, Li Shimin said hoarsely: "Why?"

Li Yuanai and Changsun Wuji were both silent in front of him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Shimin sucked his nose and unconsciously wiped his nasolabial folds, saying, "Tell me, what's going on."

Changsun Wuji whispered: "Let His Highness Shang King say that he discovered it..."

When Changsun Wuji thinks about it now, he still can't forget the sentence "Changsun Situ, I said that the prince and Hou Junji rose up to rebel tonight, do you believe it?"

The first reaction in Changsun Wuji's mind when he heard this was "faith".

No one would joke about such things, and no one would joke in front of themselves with such things.

And a crucial point...

Zhang Liang told Hou Junji that Hou Junji had provoked Zhang Liang and advised him to rebel.

Li Shimin knew about this early in the morning, but he didn't take it seriously. He was as good as ever to Hou Junji.

This is Li Shimin's absolute confidence in his own rights and an indulgence in his confidant. It is easy to kill Hou Junji, but it is difficult to cultivate a talent like Hou Junji. He hopes that Hou Junji can figure it out, understand it, understand its hard work, and understand the difficulties of being an emperor. In this way, there will be more generals with great military strategies, defeating the enemy, and invincible battles, rather than a cold corpse.

Therefore, Li Shimin only told Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling about the matter and made some preparations.

Changsun Wuji heard Li Yuanai say that it was related to Hou Junji, so he believed it halfway.

Looking at Li Shimin, Li Yuanai said with a bitter face: "It's a coincidence. My brother had the bad habit of gambling in his early years and met many friends in the casino. Just half a month ago, a man named Zhang San came to me and said that a friend of his gambling with Hou Junji's son-in-law Helan Chushi gambling and drinking. Helan Chushi lost too much and drank too high. He said that not to mention this little money, in a few days, even if there are 100,000 or 80,000, they can't even carry it. He said that his father-in-law wanted to force the palace with the prince, and he would be a dragon minister. When his friend was gathering with him, he talked too much about this matter. Zhang San was a little brained and asked him to stop talking while telling me about it. In order to protect his friend, he refused to tell him the name."

Of course, this matter was written and directed by Li Yuanai. There was no way to make up a story, which was not enough to win the trust of Changsun Wuji. He could not say that in history, Li Chengqian and Hou Junji were secretly planning rebellion, and then based on their abnormal behavior and history, he made a judgment?

Li Yuanai said the story he made up again: "This kind of thing is too incredible and horrifying. And my brother didn't believe it at all at that time. What reason does the prince have to rebel? The emperor valued him so much that the future Tang Dynasty was his. If he planned his own rebellion, he would get his brains stuck..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt sad again.

Li Yuanai continued: "There is also Duke of Hou Guo, the first in the military in our dynasty. He has made great contributions and has won the holy heart. How could he rebel? He also believed in this kind of alcoholic speech? To be ashamed, I did not take this matter to heart at that time, but only regarded them as swearing after drinking, nonsense as a serious matter, and drove Zhang San away."

He paused and said, "But today, Hou Junji came to the Ministry of Works to make a big fuss and wanted to go to the Ministry of Works to get the 300 crossbows he had made. He came under the order of the prince, but there was no seal from the Secretariat and the Ministry of Works to take the seal."

"How could I give it to him? He even wanted to attack me. Fortunately, Luo Tong and colleagues from the Ministry of Works were there, so he did not let him succeed. This incident reminded me of Zhang San's nonsense and felt a little uneasy. After leaving the Ministry of Works, he encountered the stolen East Palace again. The Crown Prince talked about Xu Qidan stole treasures from the Eastern Palace. His Royal Highness was furious. The entire imperial city searched for thieves, and all the twelve guards were alarmed..."

Li Shimin frowned, obviously not believing that Xu Qidan would do such a thing.

It was not only because Xu Qidan was the younger brother of Xu Hui, his favorite concubine, but because Xu Qidan was an outstanding young man who could write literature at the age of eight. When he heard his name, he summoned him to the palace to test lyrics and philosophies and gave him a close-fitting sword. Since then, Xu Qidan has served as the army of the Cao Wang Mansion, and has excellent performance in the literature of the Lu Wang Mansion and the Chongwenguan Bachelor. It is precisely because he was too outstanding that he specially transferred him to Li Chengqian as the prince to teach.

Xu Qidan has been singing all the way since childhood, and has never done anything evil. How could he destroy his future?

Li Yuanai then talked about his conversation with the soldiers and his encounter with Xu Qidan, who was puzzled by him at Zhuque Gate, and said one by one.

Finally, Li Yuanai said: "I have to think about this all kinds of things. I have no choice but to think about it. As a last resort, I came to Changsun Situ and talked about the details. Changsun Situ is worthy of being a pillar of the country, recognized my judgment, and used his influence to talk about the dynamic Fang Xiang and Wei Xiang, and responded."

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji and understood that Changsun Wuji had such a judgment because he told him that Hou Junji had thoughts of rebellion.

It is understandable that Changsun Wuji made this decision, but although Li Yuanai’s overall statement is reasonable, it is full of speculation and judgments throughout the article, and there is no evidence. The core judgment is actually the gambler’s words about drunkenness, which is really unbelievable.

"Sixteen, you are too brave. Everything is in case, even if everything is reasonable, guessing and judgment are not true after all. As long as there are a little mistake, I will not be able to protect you today."

Li Shimin said with a little sternness.

Changsun Wuji also glanced at him.

Li Yuanai said with a bitter face: "I am not afraid of the emperor's jokes. In fact, I have been hesitating for a long time. On the way to find Changsun Situ, I have wanted to turn back and stand by. This kind of thing is really too big and no one can afford it. I think more than once, waiting for the matter to happen, and then making a decision. But if this is the case, everything will be too late. Attempted rebellion and failure to make a comeback are two different concepts. I can't sit and watch the situation happen for the sake of those little mistakes..."
