When Li Jiancheng and Shan Meixian, who was still intact, appeared in front of the girls, the girls immediately surrounded them in surprise. Everyone had a look of concern on their faces. Shan Meixian felt warm in her heart and couldn't say anything. She could only hold Shan Wanjing in a cover-up manner to prevent the other girls from seeing the tears in her eyes. .
However, none of the girls present had very bright eyes. How could Shan Meixian's situation escape their vicious eyes? However, they didn't say anything to avoid Shan Meixian's embarrassment.
Afterwards, Li Jiancheng told the girls about his plan and asked them to make arrangements and be ready to disappear from the crowd at any time. In the next few days, Li Jiancheng closed the Prince's Mansion tightly. The news outside is that Li Jiancheng has returned with the army. If he appeared in front of others, wouldn't the plan be exposed?
Li Yuan led the army to march for five days and finally returned to Chang'an. The people of Chang'an lined the streets to welcome him. There is no need to say more about this. Subsequently, Li Yuan announced that he would reward the three armies in two days. At the same time, all officials with an official rank of sixth grade or above must attend the morning court, and important news will be announced at that time. Then, news came out from the palace. When Li Yuan was chatting with Dou Xian, he inadvertently said that the important news to be announced was about the throne.
When the news came out, it caused huge waves in Chang'an City. Moreover, this matter was known to only a few people at first, but later became known to all civil and military officials. In the end, even the people in Chang'an City were discussing it.
As the eldest son, Li Jiancheng was originally the prince. Moreover, it has been engaged in foreign wars for a long time and is still building the Tang Empire. They all have made huge contributions, so the candidate for the throne is a natural choice. Besides Li Jiancheng, who else is suitable for this throne? Of course, there are many voices of opposition. Those who oppose him believe that Li Jiancheng is cruel and unjust. If he becomes like Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang after he ascends the throne, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people of the world? As a result, those who supported Li Shimin jumped out. It was widely publicized that Li Shimin was benevolent and righteous. If he ascended the throne, he would be a blessing to the people of the world.
Therefore, there was a heated discussion between the two parties about whether Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin ascended the throne. Li Yuan in the palace did not stop the discussion among the people, and seemed to have a tacit attitude.
¡¡
Late at night. In the study room of Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Shimin was holding a book on The Art of War and watching it intently.
"Husband, Lord Changsun, Lord Fang and Lord Du are visiting and are waiting in the hall now."
The door of the study room was quietly opened, and Li Shimin was too immersed in reading. So no one was found. He didn't react until someone spoke.
"Anu, why are you here?"
Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wugou in front of him, with a soft smile on his face. Anu was his nickname.
"Since the auxiliary machine, Qiao and Keming are here, just ask them to come directly to the study to find me. Why do you have to go there yourself."
"My husband has not fallen asleep. Anu also cannot sleep peacefully."
Changsun Wugou's beautiful face always has a calm and quiet expression, which makes people feel that as long as they stand next to her, their mind is so peaceful.
"Okay, it's late at night, and the auxiliary machines must have something important to discuss when they come here. I don't know when. Anu, just go to bed first, don't tire yourself."
Li Shimin gently stroked Changsun Wugu's cheek and spoke softly.
"Anu, I will obey my husband in everything, but husband, you must also pay attention to your body."
Changsun Wugou meekly obeyed Li Shimin's words, said a word of concern in a soft voice, and left as quietly as when he came, without making the slightest sound when he closed the door.
Li Shimin was not in the mood to read, looking at the direction where his grandson Wugou was leaving, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Wei minister Changsun Wuji (Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui) pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin!"
"There is no one around now, so don't be so reserved." Li Shimin said casually with a smile, and then pointed to the chairs in the study for the three of them to sit down. "You guys find a seat and sit down. It's so late. What do you want to do?"
Li Shimin turned around and just sat down, but found that Zhang, Sun Wuji and the others did not find a seat to sit down, but were still standing in front of the desk with serious faces, as if they had something important to say.
"What are you"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, obviously a little confused.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui seemed to have premeditated it. Changsun Wuji, as the representative of the three, stepped forward and said respectfully: "I would like to inform His Highness the King of Qin that there may be some matters that the ministers and other ministers who have come to discuss this time may be involved." What makes His Highness the King of Qin angry is that I hope His Highness the King of Qin can forgive me and others."
"Assistant machine, although the people of the world are the king of Qin, they are like brothers to you, Qiao, and Keming. No matter what you say, unless you commit rebellion against the country, the people of the world will never be angry because of your words. "
"In this case, I would like to thank His Highness the King of Qin in advance!"
Changsun Wuji clasped his fists and bowed in salute. Then his face straightened and he was extremely serious. He spoke sonorously every word: "Nowadays, people say that His Highness the Crown Prince is cruel and unethical. If His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he may be like the previous Sui Dynasty." the road¡"
"Auxiliary machine, be careful what you say!"
Li Shimin's expression changed, and he immediately raised his voice and drank.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Wei Chen knows that these words are treasonous. However, these words are hidden in his heart and he will not express them out loud. Therefore, I hope His Highness the King of Qin will forgive me. Wei Chen will definitely speak out what is in his heart today." Changsun Wuji paused and said. Then his face remained firm and he said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been fierce in killing, and all the ministers in the court know it. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been seriously injured in the battle with the Germans, and it is extremely difficult to even speak. His Royal Highness the King of Qin has always been Kindness is rewarded, and there are many people who hope that His Highness the King of Qin will ascend the throne. I believe that for the sake of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, His Highness the King of Qin should comply with the people's wishes and ascend the throne!"
"Auxiliary machine, you are trying to let the people of the world usurp the throne!"
Li Shimin¡¯s face was gloomy, and he drank with suppressed anger.
"Although the eldest brother acted ruthlessly, he killed the people who deserved to be killed, not indiscriminately. Moreover, the eldest brother was injured because he was fighting with the enemy. How can the people of the world add insult to injury and usurp the throne of the eldest brother? As long as the eldest brother is alive, I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and no one can change me."
"Your Highness, King Qin, think twice!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knelt down on the ground with a plop and persisted in admonishing.
"To put it bluntly, His Highness the Crown Prince is unlikely to live a good life for a few more years with his current body. If His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and dies suddenly, His Highness the Crown Prince's son is only a few years old. If someone among the Crown Prince's concubines attempts to gain power, I'm afraid The Tang Dynasty is in danger!"
"Auxiliary engine, that's enough!"
Li Shimin drank suddenly, turned his back to the three of them, and said a little tiredly: "Shimin is a little tired. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. You should go back and rest early!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin"
"Do you need me to say it a second time?"
Li Shimin¡¯s voice was still calm, but Changsun Wuji and the other three knew that Li Shimin could no longer suppress his anger. At that moment, the three of them looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, saluted Li Shimin's back, and slowly left with his lonely back. (To be continued.)
