    Chapter 3 Haimen Town (1) Yang Wenqian didn¡¯t really want to rebel!  Even if he comes to Baijiabao, he hopes more for remonstrance rather than rebellion.  The reason is simple, he does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands.  Even if he is the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses in Gyeongju, he only has seven or eight thousand troops in his hands.  With such a small force and facing an opponent like Li Shimin, what chance does Yang Wenqian have of winning?  Therefore, there was only a brief confrontation between the two sides in Baijiabao, and Yang Wenqian was defeated and fled, and was eventually killed by Qin Qiong, Li Shimin's general.  Yang Wenqian lost!  Li Shimin was naturally very happy After this battle, his reputation was improved again. More importantly, Li Yuan made up his mind to depose the prince Li Jiancheng and establish himself.  With one abolishment and one establishment, Li Shimin's status will naturally rise.  Although Li Yuan had talked with him, he was not prepared to put Li Jiancheng to death, but planned to let Li Jiancheng go to Sichuan to join the vassal state.  This somewhat disappointed Li Shimin, but the burden on his heart was also reduced a lot.  When Li Jiancheng went to Shuzhong, he at least did not have to bear the reputation of a fratricidal brother.  Moreover, after he ascends the throne, there will be many opportunities to deal with Li Jiancheng.  At the end of July in the seventh year of Wude, Li Shimin returned in triumph and returned to Renzhi Palace on Yuhua Mountain with Yang Wenqian's head.  But what he didn't expect was that on the first day after he arrived at Renzhi Palace, Li Yuan led his troops to detour to Jingzhou and return to Chang'an.  At the entrance of Renzhi Palace, three bloody heads hang.  Among them, in addition to the two informants Qiao Gongshan and Er Wenhuan, there is also a face that Li Shimin is very familiar with: Du Fengju.  This Du Fengju is the illegitimate son of Cao Shenjun Du Yan, a soldier in Tiance Mansion.  Later, under the care of Du Yan, he took up the post of Pengyuan County Lieutenant Seeing Du Fengju's head, Li Shimin shivered, and a chill ran down his spine.  Li Shimin knows the causes and consequences of Yang Wenqian's rebellion best.  I thought that the overall situation was under control, but I didn¡¯t expect that he led the troops to go on an expedition on the first day of July, and in a short period of time, it turned out like this.  Why did Qiao Gongshan and Er Wenhuan suddenly report? ?? Yu Wenying was ordered to go to Qingyang, why was there no news?  The dirty things here cannot be explained to outsiders If you really want to explain it clearly, it is actually not difficult.  All in all, Qiao Gongshan is his Li Shimin person, and Er Wenhuan is also his Li Shimin person.  As for Du Fengju, with Du Yan's relationship, he would naturally not join anyone else.  And Yu Wenying had to pass through Pengyuan County from Yuhua Mountain to Qingyang.  Li Yuan didn¡¯t even wait for Li Shimin¡¯s triumphant return before he hurriedly returned to Chang¡¯an. What kind of meaning is hidden in this?  Li Shimin is a smart man!  Li Yuan clearly told him: I already know your trick "Your Majesty, the chariot can only travel sixty miles in a day. If we send light cavalry to attack, maybe we can catch up with the chariot."  Dugu Xiu, the cavalry general of Tiance Mansion, said in a low and sinister voice.  Li Shimin shivered with excitement, and subconsciously shouted: "Dugu, shut up!" He glanced around and saw that he was surrounded by his cronies, and he breathed a sigh of relief Dugu Xiu's meaning was clear.  : Taking advantage of Li Yuan not returning to Chang'an yet, Qingqi attacked, and after catching up with the chariotkilled Li Yuan on the way.  The general manager of Jingzhou is Li Yi, and Li Yi is a member of Li Jiancheng.  In this way, Li Shimin can naturally put the accusation on Li Jiancheng, and then call on the diligent kings in the world in the name of suppressing the rebellion.  Li Shimin was not unmoved in his heart.  But this heartbeat was only a brief flash "My father was demonstrating to me, and he was also testing my reaction. I feel certain that my father did not leave Jingzhou If we send troops to pursue, Li Yi and his son's  The soldiers and horses will be waiting on the way." Li Shimin replied in a low voice, but his expression softened.  "My father killed these three people, and all the clues that were not conducive to me were cut off. He made it clear that he did not want to pursue the case any further." "But" "I am still a little too impatient. It seems that I am afraid I have to continue.  Just bear with it." Li Shimin murmured to himself, and seemed to be explaining to Dugu Xiu.  He closed his eyes, and after a moment he suddenly said: "Pass the order, the army will be temporarily stationed in Tongchuan County, I will return to Chang'an" "Your Majesty, if you go back now, I'm afraid the prince will not give up." Li Shimin couldn't help butA little hesitant.  Li Yuan¡¯s strategy was actually to ask him to go back and plead guilty.  As for how to plead guilty and how to punish him, that's another story. What Li Yuan needs now is for Li Shimin to show off.  One thing is certain, Li Yuan does not want to embarrass Li Shimin.  Firstly, he did not want to be Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, and secondly, he did not want Li Jiancheng to take this opportunity to dominate the family.  But just because Li Yuan will not pursue Li Shimin, it does not mean that Li Jiancheng will give up pursuing him.  This time, Li Shimin almost killed Li Jiancheng. This hatred was equivalent to tearing down all the disguises!  If the two brothers were hostile in the past, they were friendly and harmonious on the surface, then Yang Wenqian's incident has left no room for buffering between the two No matter how good-tempered Li Jiancheng is, he probably won't tolerate it for nothing.  This breath of bad breath.  It¡¯s a mistake, it¡¯s really a mistake!  Li Shimin had never expected that Li Jiancheng's counterattack would be so violent.  He can be sure that the person who killed Qiao Gongshan, Er Wenhuan, and even Du Fengju was definitely not Li Yuan.  There are still capable people around the prince I originally thought that after driving away Li Gang and killing Wei Ting, the power around the prince would be greatly reduced, but unexpectedly Li Shimin ordered to be stationed in Tongchuan County. After changing into casual clothes, he ordered Qin Qiong  He and Cheng Yaojin accompanied him and prepared to return to Chang'an.  However, before leaving, he secretly ordered Wang Tong to make preparations in Chang'an.  And sent his confidants to Lingzhou secretly.  Afterwards, Li Shimin took advantage of the darkness to leave Tongchuan County and embarked on his way back to Chang'an.  In August of the seventh year of Wude, the governor of Lingzhou, King Zhao Li Xuanba, claimed to be ill and returned to Chang'an.  In view of the fierce wind in Lingzhou, Li Yuan issued an edict, ordering Li Xuanba to step down from the post of governor of Lingzhou and recuperate in Chang'an.  Li Jing took over the post of governor of Lingzhou.  It was just that the winter offensive against the Turks, which had been originally decided, was immediately slowed down and put on hold indefinitely.  After Li Xuanba returned to Chang'an, he was named the General of the Left and Right Prison Gate, the General of the Zhenguo, the Central Protector, and the commander-in-chief of the Beiya Imperial Army.  The Yangwen-Qian rebellion disappeared, as if it had never happened, and no one mentioned it again.  In this turmoil, no one seems to have suffered any loss.  Li Jiancheng's position as crown prince is still stable, and Li Shimin, as before, serves as Shangshu Ling, taking charge of the affairs of the six ministries.  However, various rumors about the position of the prince began to appear in the market Many people said that His Majesty did not keep his word and treated the King of Qin badly.  Li Yuan did not explain this, Li Jiancheng seemed not to have heard of it, and Li Shimin remained silent like the Jin man.  Just when the rumors were intensifying, a shocking news suddenly came from Lingnan: the king of Henan killed Luo Dou, the king of Li, and the Zhenla Dragon Cavalry suddenly launched an offensive against Tianzhu For a time, the government and the public were shocked.  All eyes turned to Lingnan.  After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuan ordered the minister's right servant to shoot Sun Shunde, the eldest son of the minister. Pei Shiju, a member of Zhongshu Province, was appointed as the imperial envoy and set off for Lingnan.  When the mighty team left Chang'an, no one noticed that there was an extra person in the imperial team without anyone noticing.  This person's destination is also to Lingnan, but his mission is very different from others.  ¡°Perhaps, including him, he did not expect that when he went to Lingnan, he would suddenly deviate the wheel of history from its original trajectory.  This person¡¯s surname is Wei Mingzheng and his given name is Xuancheng!
