    Chapter 7 Wei Zheng¡¯s Decision (3) This night, Wei Zheng could be said to have stayed awake all night.  On the one hand, he hoped that Li Yanqing could assist Li Jiancheng, successfully ascend the throne, and eliminate the threat of Li Shimin; on the other hand, he was hesitant, because when he thought about it, the tough-minded Li Yanqing seemed to be more suitable to ascend the throne at this time than Li Jiancheng.  As for Li Shimin?  It¡¯s not like Wei Zheng hasn¡¯t considered it.  But since he is in a different camp, his sense of Li Shimin is naturally not very good.  " Moreover, because of Li Yanqing's appearance, the halo around Li Shimin's head was greatly weakened, and Wei Zheng was unable to surrender.  In terms of background, Li Yanqing was also a noble of Guanlong.  In terms of fame, Li Yanqing became famous at a young age. He established the Qilin Hall and became a representative among scholars.  In terms of personal connections, Li Yanqing has close relationships with many elites In terms of military exploits Li Wudi's reputation is not comparable to that of Li Shimin.  After careful calculation, it seems that apart from his status as a prince, Li Shimin cannot be compared with Li Yanqing in all aspects.  "And the current prince is not Li Shimin, so there is no way to talk about this orthodoxy" No matter what, we should invite Li Yanqing back to Chang'an first.  At least he could suppress King Qin's arrogance in Chang'an.  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Chang¡¯an is a bit hot in early summer.  The summer of the eighth year of Wude seems to have come a little early, so that it is only April and the weather is as hot as the summer season.  Good fortune comes unparalleled, misfortune never comes alone Along with the early scorching heat, Guanzhong ushered in a rare drought.  From early April to May, God did not drop even a drop of rain.  The land in many places was as dry and cracked as a baby's mouth, and there were also large areas of dead areas in the fields.  In this scorching heat, the atmosphere in Chang'an suddenly became very strange.  In April, Princess Pingyang suddenly fell seriously ill. Even the imperial physician in the palace was helpless and saw her weakening day by day.  ¡°Subsequently, a nursery rhyme spread among the people in Chang¡¯an: Peaches and plums fall, and Qinchuan is in trouble for eight hundred miles¡± At first glance, this nursery rhyme does not seem to have anything weird.  But if it is related to the current situation in Chang'an, it seems that there are many hidden meanings.  Peach and plum fall, I'm afraid I'm talking about Li Jiancheng.  The peach and plum chapter from the past still echoes in my ears.  The Eighteenth Son ruled the world, so Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan and settled in Guanzhong.  Nowadays, Prince Li Jiancheng is in charge of the government and is the prime minister of all state affairs.  In other words, Li Jiancheng has vaguely represented the future of Li Tang.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  It seems easier to explain: Who is most likely to threaten the prince's status now?  "There is no doubt: Li Shimin, King of Qin" In the past, all the heroes of the Warring States Period came together, and the Qin Dynasty had 800 miles of Qinchuan as its foundation, sweeping the six countries, unifying the world, and achieving an unparalleled legacy.  "The King of Qin, isn't he the Qin State back then?"  "Could it be said that this King of Qin will replace the prince and ascend the throne and aspire to the throne?"  A nursery rhyme made the already tense atmosphere in Chang'an suddenly become weird.  If it was said that although everyone was fighting openly and secretly, they always stayed within a limit that Li Yuan could tolerate, then now, this limit has been broken!  There seems to be no room for relaxation between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.  If this continues, or in other words, if Li Shimin continues to fight Li Jiancheng like this, the country will be in chaos sooner or later.  Li Yuan began to hesitate.  Should we make up our minds to support Li Jiancheng?  The prince is a son, and so is the King of Qin.  But if these two sons really break up and fight, it will not harm Li Tang's country, just like when the Qin Dynasty was violent and the second generation died.  "Xuanzhen, what should I do?" Seeing the situation getting more and more tense, Li Yuan looked bitter and didn't know what to do.  ¡°Had I known this, I shouldn¡¯t have supported Li Shimin and suppressed Li Jiancheng for the sake of balance.  ¡°After all, in Li Yuan¡¯s mind, Li Jiancheng is the most suitable candidate.  And judging from his understanding of Li Jiancheng, this child has a fairly tolerant temperament and will not embarrass his brothers if he ascends the throne in the future.  On the contrary, Li Shimin had a strong temperament, tough methods, and was quite unscrupulous in his actions If he ascended the throne, he would pursue Li Jiancheng fiercely and even kill Li Jiancheng.  After all, he took the throne from Li Jiancheng, how could he rest assured?   Think back then, how could Yang Guang spare Yang Yong?  To a certain extent, Li Shimin's vicious methods may not be inferior to Yang Guang's In the main hall, apart from Pei Ji, there were only a few personal servants left.  Li Yuan sighed, "I am still riding a tiger now. The prince is generous and handles things decently Before Yang Wenqian rebelled, why didn't I know that he felt wronged in his heart? But he didn't complain at all, even when I asked him not to pursue the case anymore.  Although he showed dissatisfaction at that time, he did not go against my wishes; Erlang is a brave man with great ambitions. His character would be fine in troubled times, but now he is in trouble.  Is he going to keep doing this? But he holds the military power, and King Zhao also fully supports him. "If" Li Yuan didn't say any more.  But Pei Ji naturally knew the implication.  Li Yuan shot himself in the foot. His early connivance with Li Shimin had already unleashed the tiger hidden in Li Shimin's heart!  It¡¯s not that easy to take back a tiger that has left the gate.  ¡°If Li Yuan forcibly suppresses Li Shimin at this time, it might trigger Li Shimin¡¯s backlash.  After all, the soldiers and horses stationed in Guanzhong were far closer to Li Shimin than Li Jiancheng, who had not been involved in military affairs for too long.  What's more, beside Li Shimin, there is also the brave and invincible King Zhao Li Xuanba.  Even though Li Xuanba no longer serves as the Commander-in-Chief of Lingwu, his prestige in the military is probably no less than that of Li Shimin.  In terms of military exploits, Li Xuanba was not outstanding.  But since Li Yuan raised his troops in Taiyuan, every time the battle situation becomes stalemate, Li Xuanba must step forward to open up the situation.  This is the best tactical executor, coupled with an extremely superb strategist, it is not a simple number calculation as one plus one equals two.  So, Li Shimin already has enough energy in his hands.  And this energy is so powerful that Li Yuan will also feel a little scrupulous "Your Majesty, have you ever read the recent memorials in Lingnan?" Pei Ji asked with a smile.  Li Yuan was startled: "Lingnan? You mean raising the truth?" In the recent period, Li Yuan indeed did not pay much attention to the affairs in the court, nor did he pay attention to the memorials submitted from various places.  Pei Ji shook his head, "It's not a memorial from the King of Henan, but a statement from Hongda and Duke Shunde." "I really didn't pay attention to this." "Your Majesty, the King of Henan is already in Lingnan, and it is showing the trend of becoming bigger. According to Pei  Gongtiao Chen said: The Feng family in Lingnan has long been a vassal of the King of Henan. Now, not only the governor of Annan, but also the eight prefectures of Hezhou are at the mercy of the King of Henan. The King of Henan continues to expand.  , has made Zhenla and other countries full of complaints. If this continues, Lingnan, and even the Annan countries, will become the treasure of the King of Henan "While your Majesty is here, the King of Henan may not do anything. " But if your Majesty The Crown Prince.  Can we suppress the King of Henan, or let the King of Henan obey his orders? If we cannot make the King of Henan surrender, it will inevitably lead to greater chaos; if we let it go, the whole south will only know the King of Henan, but not His Majesty." "Li Yuan's age is indeed true.  It's a big deal What happened under Chang'an's nose has given him a huge headache.  Pei Ji now talks about the King of Henan again. The implication is that the King of Henan is more harmful How can he calm down?  "Could we use troops against the King of Henan?" Pei Ji waved his hands quickly, "Absolutely not! If we use troops against Lingnan at this time, who can compete with the King of Henan? With his reputation, all Jiangdong will respond with just a raise of arms.  Moreover, the soldiers and horses of Shandong are also following the lead of the King of Henan, and the soldiers and horses of Liaodong will also respond" "Since you know this, what are you talking about?" Pei Ji hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Henan must not do otherwise.  Suppress, but not forcefully. I have a plan to relieve your Majesty's worries Transferring the King of Henan from Lingnan to Chang'an will not only greatly reduce the threat, but also prevent the prince from being persecuted by the King of Qin.  The prestige of the King of Qin cannot be compared to that of the King of Qin. And the King of Henan had a life-saving favor for the King of Zhao when he was young. As long as he is in Chang'an, the King of Zhao will definitely remain aloof and will not necessarily follow the King of Qin When the time comes, your Majesty can transfer the King of Qin.  After leaving Chang'an, he found a prosperous place and asked him to become a vassal. With the prince's position gradually becoming more and more stable, the King of Henan's intention naturally faded away.Under supervision, it is difficult to have any chance As soon as the King of Qin leaves Chang'an, let the King of Henan be a free prince.  Even if he is allowed to become a one-word king, it will be fine.  The King of Henan no longer has power, and those under his command will naturally disperse In this way, isn't it possible to kill three birds with one stone?  Not only can the prince be stabilized, but also the brotherhood can be preserved, there will be no more fratricide, and one disaster can be eliminated" "This idea sounds good. It's just that in order to suppress Li Yanqing, he was sent to Lingnan.  Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing became famous and prosperous in Lingnan. At this time, would he agree to transfer Li Yanqing back? Li Yuan couldn't help but frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since we want Yang Zhen to come back, then let's do it."  Simply give him a one-word king, why wait until Erlang leaves the capital? ?? Lao An, pass on my edict: Confer the title of King Zheng to King Li Yanqing of Henan. He will set off today to return to Beijing to report on his duties.  "Prince Zheng? This is a throne that is not inferior to Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji. Its fiefdom is also the place where Li Yanqing made his fortune, Xingyang Using such a throne is both a reward and a reminder. But  In his heart, Li Yuan was not sure whether Li Yanqing would accept the throne. Li Yuan was full of thoughts and was silent, but he didn't notice that after he decided to issue the edict, an imperceptible smile suddenly appeared on Pei Ji's face.
