The founding emperors seemed to have very strong fertility. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, gave birth to twenty-six sons and sixteen daughters, and there were still more than enough to play ten tables of mahjong.

Twelve sons and nineteen daughters. The key person, Lao Li, only showed his strength in the "second half". He ascended the throne at the age of fifty-three. During his nine-year reign, he gave birth to about thirty children, with an average of three babies a year.

, who is in his fifties and sixties, and is more vigorous than a donkey in the production team. If the top of his head is indeed not green, the commission will be impressed.

For now, Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu are Li Yuan's two most beloved concubines. At this moment, the two concubines are serving Li Yuan. Concubine Yin De is about in her early twenties. She has fair skin, beautiful appearance and a plump figure. She is kneeling at the moment.

On the side, he pinched Li Yuan's thigh. The collar of the palace dress was very bold, half exposed and half covered, and dazzlingly white. He was sitting elegantly on his knees, with his round buttocks squeezing his heels, as if they were ripe.

Zhang Jieyu is younger than Concubine Yin Defi, but her figure is even better than that of Concubine Yin Defi. The neckline of her palace dress is drooping, exposing a large area of ​​snowy skin on her chest. While squeezing Li Yuan's shoulders, she whispered softly,

When he laughed, his branches would tremble wildly, which made brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji a little confused.

"The prince and King Qi came to me together, but there is something urgent?" Li Yuan finally opened his eyes in comfort and asked leisurely.

Li Yuanji immediately said impatiently: "Father, I have heard that the Turks did not send troops south at all. Li Shimin lied about the military situation and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please quickly order him to be demoted and brought back to the capital. This man has

Military power requires self-respect, and if we don’t take it as soon as possible, we’re afraid there will be a rebellion.”

Li Jiancheng coughed lightly and scolded: "Yuanji, don't be alarmist. How could Shimin do such a thing?"

Li Yuanji sneered and said: "Your Highness, since Li Shimin dared to lie about the military situation and deceive the emperor, it is not surprising that he would raise an army to rebel."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu paused for a moment, and looked at each other meaningfully. Li Yuan patted Zhang Jieyu's hand that was holding his shoulder, and the latter immediately cleverly took the pillow

, helped Li Yuan sit up straight, while Concubine Yin De put on Li Yuan's boots.

Li Yuan returned to sitting upright from lying on his side. He first glanced at Li Yuanji calmly, then turned his eyes back to Prince Li Jiancheng and said, "Is this what you are here for?"

Li Jiancheng looked a little unnatural, and Li Yuanji widened his eyes and said, "Father, Li Shimin lied about military information and deceived you. Aren't you angry at all?"

Li Yuan said calmly: "Shimin did not deceive me, but the information was wrong at the beginning. This morning, I received Shimin's memorial. He has already explained to me in the memorial, Yuan Ji, don't think

It makes your second brother so miserable."

Li Yuanji couldn't help but was speechless, while Li Jiancheng clenched his fist secretly. His second brother was really getting better and better. This trick was really well played. First, he used the Turks to invade south to put pressure on the emperor, and asked the emperor to come forward to clarify the rumors. After achieving his goal,

He immediately sent another memorandum saying that the information was wrong, and also made a fool of himself and Yuanji. I am afraid that my father would be dissatisfied with both myself and Yuanji at this moment.

"Hmph, Li Shimin is playing a good trick. He is just playing tricks on me by saying that the intelligence is wrong." Li Yuanji snorted coldly: "He just supports his troops and respects himself, and uses the Turks to put pressure on you, father.

Don’t be fooled by him!”

"Yuanji, don't talk nonsense!" Li Jiancheng said with a secret wink.

"Your Highness, my brother is not talking nonsense. Li Shimin has great achievements and has no regard for you and his father. The arrogant generals in Tiance Mansion only know that there is King Qin, but they do not know that there is an emperor and a prince. Father

If you continue to let him go, you will no longer be able to suppress him in the future." Li Yuanji said loudly, while secretly retaining the look on his father Li Yuan's face.

Li Yuan's face turned gloomy. As a veteran who had been in the officialdom for decades, how could he not understand the tricks played by his second son Li Shimin?

It's just for self-protection, so it's ok.

However, Li Shimin's actions still aroused Li Yuan's vigilance to some extent. At this moment, Li Yuan was considering whether to take the opportunity to take back Li Shimin's military power.

In the past two years, in order to avoid the tragedy of brotherhood between Li Shimin and the prince fighting for the throne, Li Yuan tried to take back Li Shimin's military power, but due to the situation, he finally used Li Shimin again. After the latter regained military power, he immediately unleashed the military power.

Extraordinary, unstoppable, continuous conquests, and continuous expansion of territory for the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Yuan both happy and troubled. In order to commend Li Shimin's contribution, he made Li Shimin an unprecedented general, ranking above all princes.

, second only to the emperor and the prince.

In this way, the two peaks of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were officially established. Li Yuan, who had single-handedly caused this situation, now felt increasingly troubled. On the one hand, he was wary of Li Shimin's achievements and prestige, but on the other hand, he had to rely on Li Shimin to conquer the country. It was a dilemma.

!

"Two beloved concubines, please step aside first!" Li Yuan waved his hand and ordered.

Concubine Yin Defi and Zhang Jieyu were also aware of the situation. They stood up and bowed before retreating gracefully. Li Yuanji glanced at Concubine Yin De's gracefully swaying buttocks and couldn't help secretly swallowing his saliva, his heart was burning.

Li Jiancheng touched him secretly, and Li Yuanji came back to his senses and said quickly: "Father, I also heard that Li Shimin intends to attack Jinyang."

Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who did you listen to?"

Gao Qi is now at the peak of his national power. He has just pacified Xiao Xian and unified the south and north of the Yangtze River. He has a strong army and strong horses, which is far beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing, who is stationed in Jinyang, is an extremely difficult character. How can Shimin provoke him at this time?

Isn’t it bringing trouble to Datang?

As soon as Li Jiancheng saw Li Yuan's reaction, he knew that he had grasped the key point this time, and said quickly: "My son has just learned that Shimin mobilized troops from Hedong. He was afraid that it would cause a big disaster, so he hurriedly came to report to the emperor.

"

Li Yuan asked hurriedly: "Did the fight start?"

"That's not true. Later, all the soldiers and horses in Hedong returned to their bases. The people probably didn't wait for the opportunity, so they gave up in the end." Li Jiancheng said.

Li Yuan let out a long breath, and couldn't help but sweat on his palms, and said in a deep voice: "It's unreasonable, you didn't discuss such a big matter with me in advance. This son has been leading troops and fighting for a long time, and he is no longer the original son.

You actually don't take me into consideration."

Li Yuanji was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately slandered the arrangement with added fuel and jealousy. Li Yuan was already soft-spoken, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji usually fawned over Li Yuan's concubines, so the concubines usually talked about Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji beside Li Yuan's pillow.

He said good things about Li Shimin and bad things about Li Shimin, so Li Yuan became angrier the more he listened, and finally made up his mind and said calmly: "Shimin has been leading troops outside for a long time, and it's time to return to the capital to rest for a while, and pass on my orders.

The King of Qin was summoned back to the capital, and King Li Shentong of Huai'an was appointed as the general manager of Dingxiang to take over local affairs."

Li Jiancheng was secretly happy, but Li Yuanji was not satisfied. In his opinion, not taking Li Shimin directly into custody and taking him back to Chang'an was an advantage to him.

However, Li Jiancheng knew that this matter should not be rushed. His second brother had great achievements and unparalleled prestige in the army. If he really wanted to take advantage of him, big trouble would happen. He could only take advantage of it slowly and slowly reduce his military power.

That's fine. Now if he is transferred back to Chang'an and no longer leads troops to fight, everything will be easier to handle.
