At the entrance of the magnificent palace, there were only a few soldiers patrolling. Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo and Zhao Hongzhi stood at the entrance of the palace, and the street seemed particularly deserted. Occasionally, a few passing officials appeared, all of them were as if they were hiding from the plague god, far away, looking very afraid of being involved.

Luo Shixin felt in his heart when he saw this. Wang Gui, Wei Zheng and Wei Ting were all core figures in the Prince's Mansion. They may not have a high status in the court, but they are usually the best people who respond to the call and everyone flattered.

Now?

This is the vicissitudes of life and the world is in a cold state.

Pingyang stepped forward to say hello, and Luo Shixin also said hello.

Wei Ting sighed: "I stayed in this palace gate for nearly half an hour. The princess and the general were the only ones who came up to say hello to us."

Pingyang frowned and said angrily: "I don't believe it. The third sister came to see her off. Some people dare to say anything... If he is worried, just remove me. Can the future prince be lawless?" Only Pingyang dares to say such things today. She has the best relationship with Li Shimin. It is because of the best relationship that he can't stand him using such means to deal with their common compatriots.

Since I realized that Qiao Gongshan, Erzhu Huan and Du Feng were arranged by Li Shimin. She had a very deep prejudice against Li Shimin. This woman's resentment was apart, even Pingyang could not avoid the common people. She didn't even want to call her name, and she replaced her with "he".

I can only smile bitterly at Ping Yang's words.

Even if Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, Zhao Hongzhi and others hated Li Shimin to the core, they would not dare to say this.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Pingyang could only ask about his elder brother's whereabouts.

Wang Gui said: "Your Highness said he would say goodbye to His Majesty, let us wait for him outside the palace first. It has been a long time, so we should be here soon!"

Pingyang nodded silently and did not bother Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan.

After Li Jiancheng's trip, he would be afraid that he would never be able to return to Chang'an in the short term, so let the father and son talk about the past.

Pingyang thought so, but he didn't know that Li Jiancheng had bid farewell to Li Yuan, but he met someone on the way here, an unimaginable person.

Li Shimin!

Li Shimin rode his beloved horse, Teller, and looked quietly ahead. He had always been unable to see Mount Tai collapsed and was unable to show his complex expression at this moment.

He had thought that he could not come, but he still came. He came with complicated emotions to send the elder brother in front of him and said, "I'll give you it."

Li Jiancheng seemed to have never expected Li Shimin to come. He was stunned for a moment and smiled freely and immediately stepped forward and said, "I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you to come..."

The two rode side by side. There was no word between them, surrounded by an atmosphere called silence.

for a long time!

Li Shimin broke the deadlock first: "In addition to sending me one off to my elder brother, I have something to ask for."

"Tell me!" Li Jiancheng responded.

"The Tang Dynasty needs talents when it is in trouble. Wei Zheng is upright and stingy. He is good at government affairs. He is the talent of Wang Zuo; Wang Gui distinguishes the cleverness and turbidity, and has the ability to reward good for the world; Zhao Hongzhi is very literary and quick-witted, and can preach one side. These three people, especially the former two, are rare talents in the world, and they are buried in Shu. It is really too insignificant." Li Shimin looked ahead, waiting for Li Jiancheng's answer.

"I snatched my position as the prince, and now I openly ask for talents from me and want to cut off my left and right arms. Second brother, your plan is really exquisite... Do you think I will agree with your request?" Li Jiancheng said with a little ridiculousness.

"You can do it!" Li Shimin turned a blind eye to Li Jiancheng's ridicule and nodded solemnly: "Because you are Li Jiancheng, my Li Shimin's eldest brother."

Li Jiancheng continued to walk slowly without saying a word, suddenly raised his whip and rode his horse away, leaving only a break from afar: "Treat them well... I can't say the word congratulations. But since you win, you will keep winning, and let my Tang Dynasty become a dynasty that surpasses all previous dynasties. In this way... at least it can prove that I lost more valuable."

Li Jiancheng's words disappeared with his figure.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng's distant figure and sighed a long time.

The two were silent all the way, and they said less than ten words to each other, but they almost used all his energy.

He knew he was sorry to Li Jiancheng, but he knew that Li Jiancheng didn't need his apology.

Between them, they are just success and defeated. That's all.

Li Jiancheng does not need mercy, and he has no intention of regret.

************

Outside the palace at this time!

Pingyang, Luo Shixin, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others finally arrived at Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng rode out of the palace by himself.

"Three sister! Sister-in-law! I can't eat your wedding banquet, so call me in advance." Li Jiancheng came near and took off a piece of jade from his waist and said, "I have nothing to give, this jade pendant is used as a gift to you in advance."

"Brother..." Pingyang called out sadly. She was sentimental recently and her eyes were slightly red.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Luo Shixin took the jade pendant from Li Jiancheng with great caution and kept it.

Li Jiancheng chuckled and said, "It's not a separation from life and death, don't be sad."

At this time, Wang Gui stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's not too early, so you can go on the road. The princess and the others have been waiting in the manor outside the city for a long time. The road to entering Shu is difficult. It's extremely troublesome if you miss the time."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Shujie, Xuancheng, Hongzhi, you three stay, with Wei Ting and Shi Mo accompany me to the south."

"Your Highness?" Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Zhao Hongzhi were shocked one after another and bowed deeply.

Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "We are willing to follow Your Highness south."

Li Jiancheng asked, "Stay here, the Tang Dynasty needs you. Could it be that if you don't become the prince, you won't obey my wishes?"

Wei Zheng sighed, "I dare not, we will stay."

Wang Gui and Zhao Hongzhi still want to say it.

Li Jiancheng said: "It's Xuancheng's clearest truth, and this matter is settled. Don't worry, neither the father nor the King of Qin will treat you badly." He said with a hearty smile and said: "I'm in a hurry to rush, so you'll leave..." He greeted Wei Ting, and Xu Shimo whipped away.

Wei Zheng bowed to the figure flat and flat.

"Wei Zheng, I didn't expect you to be such a person... Humph!" Wang Gui shook his sleeves and left in anger.

Zhao Hongzhi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he turned around and left.

Wei Zheng didn't say anything, smiled bitterly, shook his head and wanted to leave.

"Why don't sir explain to them?" Luo Shixin suddenly called Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng smiled distractedly and said, "Wei has a clear conscience, why should we explain? They can figure it out, so naturally there is no need to explain. If they can't figure it out, what's the use of explanation? General, Wei said goodbye."

Pingyang said blankly: "Why don't I understand?"

Luo Shixin sighed: "I think I can feel a little bit. Since ancient times, power struggles have never ended. No one is willing to admit defeat, and no one believes that his opponent is willing to give in. His Highness the King of Qin will be enthroned as the crown prince soon. His Highness the King of Shu will be defeated when he went to Western Shu and left. But if His Highness the King of Shu still retained the member of the shogunate when he was the crown prince, His Highness the King of Qin may not have done him. Even if he doesn't do him, some people will use this as an excuse to make trouble for the so-called guess. Similarly, if the Prince's shogunate does not disband, even if His Highness the King of Shu is unwilling to fight for anything, will those members of the shogunate give up? Now His Highness the King of Shu keeps Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Zhao Hongzhi in Chang'an to tell the King of Qin that his right-hand mansion is not around so that he can eliminate fearless suspicion. Similarly, tell the people around him what he plans."

"Brother, it's so great!" Ping Yang was moved and felt worthless for him.

Luo Shixin did not continue to say anything, but said: "The King of Shu is indeed an amazing person..."

Li Jiancheng was naturally not a Virgin White Lotus, but made the decision that a wise politician should make.

When you can fight, try your best to fight and use any means. Since you know that you cannot fight, let go of everything and face failure calmly. This is the mind that a true politician must have.

Even though he knows that he has failed, he still has to be obsessed with it, and even seeks so-called victory at the expense of his group. That is a fool. Li Jiancheng is not a fool, he is a clever person. He knows that the fate of continuing to fight is that Western Shu is rich, but the congenital disadvantage is there, and there is only one ending. That is failure, and his family and children will be devastated.

He has already lost, he is a loser, he can only taste the consequences of failure by himself. It is not a rational and rational way to deal with the trapped beast, and the ending is to implicate all those related to him.

So he left, leaving very freely, and leaving made Luo Shi feel respectful.

It's amazing to be able to let go of everything.

In fact, Luo Shixin's guess was also incorrect. After all, he didn't know that Li Shimin specially came to Li Jiancheng and asked him for Wang Gui, Wei Zheng and Zhao Hongzhi.

Just one month after Li Jiancheng left Chang'an, Li Yuan, under the calculation of the Grand Historian, formally appointed Li Shimin as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and officially entered the Eastern Palace.

The history of the Tang Dynasty has developed in a new direction under the intervention of Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin himself didn't know whether it was good or bad, but at least from the current ending, it was still extremely satisfactory.

Luo Shixin was still the largest general of his Imperial Party, and only a few people knew about his relationship with Li Shimin.

Li Yuan was originally a boss who liked to be a hand-off manager. Now that things happened one after another, he was even less in the mood to deal with state affairs. He threw military affairs to Li Shimin, Pei Ji and other prime ministers to deal with them.

Li Shimin also seemed to have changed his willfulness, and reciprocate Pei Ji's favor and let go of the conflict between Liu Wenjing and him back then.

The two parties were united in governing the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin also reflected his broad-minded side and had no rejection of the talents left by Li Jiancheng and the general appointment.

Everything is thriving.

Luo Shixin also ushered in the biggest joy in his life in this peaceful period. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
