Chapter 339 The arrogant Li Jiancheng

"But Wang Bo is still aware of the current affairs this time!" Li Yuanji looked at Li Bing who was lowering his head to eat with rice, and his brows frowned slightly. This was the first time he had seen the third brother who had always been gentle and elegant in life, eating the remaining lunch at noon regardless of his image.

"Can he not know the current affairs? Do you think Wang Bo can control half of Shandong now, so what simple person would be?" Li Bing ate a little and put it on his stomach. He felt that the hunger in his stomach was no longer so strong. Then he called a palace maid over and took away a few leftover dishes on the table. Then the second palace maid came over, holding a small tea tray in his hand, with a cup of tea on it. After Li Bing took it, he rinsed his mouth and vomited in.

After the third palace maid brought over, he took a wet wipe from the fourth palace maid, carefully wiped his mouth and hands, and waved his hand to let them go down. At this time, a palace maid came over with a teapot and poured tea for Li Bing again. Li Bing then said to Li Yuanji: "I'm afraid that Lord Zhishilang knew very well that the border of our Tang Dynasty has now extended to his surroundings. When we pacify Xue Ju and send troops again

One of him and Wang Shi is our next target, but even if we attack Wang Shichong first, he can't escape. We will definitely capture him and complete our full encirclement of Dou Jiande, Hebei. So now he is no longer the only one to settle down. Whether he owns Shandong or surrenders to Dou Jiande, he will be our target, and unless he becomes their subordinates and fulfills our tactics against Dou Jiande, he will be safe. Wang Bo first raised an army against Sui during the Daye period, occupied Changbai Mountain and fought against the counties in Shandong. In a year, the team grew to tens of thousands. Wang Bo is a man who has been active in Shandong for many years. He defeated the general Zhang Xutuo at the foot of Mount Tai. Then he led his people across the Yellow River and went north to join forces with Sun Xuanya, Hao Xiaode and other troops, gathering more than 100,000 people. Such people must have a clear understanding of the current situation!"

"I guess this time Wang Bo sent an envoy to surrender. He will definitely be encouraged by his father. The reason why Wang Bo surrendered is all due to your contribution. Third brother, maybe when the father is happy, you will be restored.

Li Bing smiled unanimously after hearing Li Yuanji's words. Although Li Yuanji was smart, he was still a little more childish in politics. Li Yuanji could not see through Li Yuan's true thoughts in his heart. The reason why Li Yuan dealt with Li Bing like this this time was that Li Jiancheng's support was only part of the reason. The main reason was that Li Yuan deeply felt that Li Bing's power was too huge now. At the beginning, he gave Li Bing so many official positions just to show his favor for this son and reward him with credit. But gradually, Li Yuan could gradually feel that Li Bing's contribution to the Tang Dynasty was too great. The earth was enough to overwhelm his father, the military power held in Li Bing also made Li Yuan feel a little afraid.

Although he believed that Li Bing would not do the kind of thing that led troops to force the palace, no matter how he comforted and persuaded him, he always had a little grudge against Li Bing. Previously, Li Yuan had already summoned Li Bing and the others to live in the palace while attacking the royal family, and secretly strengthened the surveillance and control of his sons. On the other hand, it was also to weaken the connection between his sons and officials. However, in Li Yuan's eyes, it seemed that this effect was not very great. At this moment, news of Li Bing sending troops without authorization occurred, and officials of Li Jiancheng and other groups of officials impeached Li Bing here, Li Yuan was happy to take this opportunity to weaken Li Bing again. Now, Li Bing has no real power except a prince.

Although Li Yuanji is also in his relationship with him now, Li Bing did not tell Li Yuanji about these things. Some things still have to be figured out by himself. Besides, about these intrigues between father and son, it is better not to reveal Li Yuanji for a while. At this time, a eunuch came to report, saying that Xiao Yu and others were asking for a meeting. Li Bing pondered for a moment and asked the eunuch to summon several people. Seeing this, Li Yuanji knew that Xiao Yu and others came here to find Li Bing to have something to talk about, so he said goodbye to Li Bing and returned to his Wude Hall.

After sending Li Yuanji out of the door, Li Bing also returned to the room and went to the main seat to prepare. At this time, the palace maids had already come in to clean up the tea sets they had just used. After a while, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui entered the room one after another under the eunuchs. As soon as they entered the door, they first gave Li Bing a gift, and then sat in the seat under Li Bing in turn.

When the palace maids came in and brought them tea one by one and then left the door, Changsun Wuji and others began to report to Li Bing one by one. Although it had been a day or two for Li Bing to come back from Zhouqiao, Li Bing basically had other things to do in the past few days, so Changsun Wuji and others had no time to see Li Bing.

After Changsun Wuji and others finished talking about it, Li Bing pinched his chin and pondered for a while. After a while, he raised his head and said to them: "Although Wang Bo sent an envoy to surrender, this is my credit, but I have always been particularly eye-catching in the eyes of my father. Since the real power has been cut off this time, even if such a thing happens, the father will not re-activate me again. At this time, I can only keep my low profile as much as possible, so that he can gradually relax his vigilance against me. So I cannot touch the government too clearly at the moment, and all matters will be in the future.

You have to do it. If you want to give up those things that are not very important, just give up what you should give up. Just control the most core things. Remember, all the things in the army must be guarded by me. This is the foundation of my king. As long as I still have these things in my hands, my father will not do anything to me. You will call Xu Shiji, Luo Song and Xie Yingdeng to me later. I will personally remind them some things. In the future, I will give them the three of them the military affairs for the time being. When the Daozong comes back, let the Daozong come to take charge of these things. At present, I will still be my idle prince with peace of mind.

Changsun Wuji's face twitched when he heard Li Bing's words. Others didn't know that he had basically grown up with Li Bing since childhood. He naturally knew what kind of intestines his brother-in-law had in his heart. Judging from Li Bing's lazy personality since childhood, he probably still wished he could be rubbed by Li Yuan. Although it is indeed as Li Bing said now, as Li Bing said, "the wood is outstanding in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", it is not so serious yet. According to Changsun Wuji's guess, Li Bing is completely making excuses for himself to be lazy.

At this time, Li Bing stood up and said to the four people below with a smile: "I'll ask you all for those things in the future, but don't worry, it will take several years for the three brothers to fight!" Li Bing saw that there was nothing wrong, so he stood up and urged those people to leave quickly. Changsun Wuji and the other four looked at me and I looked at you. Seeing that Li Bing had issued a blatant order to expel guests, they were still a little relieved, because they could react from these trivial matters that although Li Bing is already a prince, his attitude towards them has not changed, so they all respectfully bowed to Li Bing and then bowed out.

Li Bing looked at the time and saw that it was still a while before darkness, he remembered that he had not yet paid tribute to Li Yuan and Dou. Then he hurried out and went out to the Ganlu Palace on the side. After paying tribute to Li Yuan, the father and son were polite for a while before they came out and headed for Yanjia Palace.

As soon as he left the Ganlu Palace, he met Li Jiancheng who was coming towards him. When Li Jiancheng saw Li Bing, a hint of surprise flashed slightly on his face, but a warm smile appeared on his face. He greeted Li Bing, "Oh, isn't this third brother? Why, I have time to come today? No, third brother, aren't you no longer in charge of political affairs? Why are you still here!" Although Li Jiancheng was smiling on his face when he was speaking, Li Bing could still see that a smug look flashed on Li Jiancheng's face.

"My brother, please see Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Bing hugged Li Jiancheng with a fist, with a constant smile on his face: "Who said that he can't come here if he doesn't care about the matter? I'm here to pay my respects to his father. However, brother, you are a little bit majestic now!"

"No, no matter what, I am the prince. I must have the appearance of a prince. Oh, but you don't understand these things if you tell me!" Li Jiancheng couldn't hear that Li Bing was secretly mocking him for showing off his power now, but Li Jiancheng didn't take Li Bing's sarcasm in his heart. He felt that Li Bing had been stripped of his real power and must be very unwilling to accept it. He could understand it even if he was a little resentful, so he acted as if he was disapproving. At the same time, he was saying that kind of thing, reminding Li Bing that he was the prince. No matter how outstanding Li Bing is, he could not change this fact.

"Yes, who told you to be the eldest brother? Who told this to be the rule set by the ancestors? No matter what kind of person, as long as he takes up a big shot, he will be different. Alas, I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm going to pay my respects to my mother. Let's take a step first!" Li Bing said to himself, then hugged Li Jiancheng again, and then left those words without looking back. He felt anger in his heart. He looked at Li Bing's back as he was away and said with gritted teeth: "Hmph, what's the excitement? I'll let you continue to taste my means and see when you can excitement..." (To be continued.
