After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin sank into the water with a stern look on his face without saying a word.
Li Jiancheng stared at Li Shimin with angry eyes for a long time, and then sank into the water.
Li Yuanji lay down on the pool wall again as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere in Wenchi became a little strange, and none of the three brothers spoke.
After a long time, Li Jiancheng's fingers became wrinkled, and he stood up with a cold snort. After his eyes lingered on Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, he left the soup pool shirtless.
"Wear some clothes at least..."
Li Yuanji curled his lips and cooed.
They are all adults, but they are still respectable people, running around without clothes, what does it look like?
"Yuanji..."
After Li Jiancheng left, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish his words before he said decisively: "Is it time for second brother to claim he is sick?"
Li Yuanji knew what Li Shimin wanted to say, and also knew why Li Jiancheng stayed until his fingers were soaked and the wrinkles appeared before leaving.
Li Shimin wanted to win over him, and Li Jiancheng also wanted to win over him.
Especially after tonight's "falling apart", they wanted to win over him even more.
Because after tonight, they will enter the most brutal struggle.
Li Shimin now has a good relationship with him, and he has thought of ways to win him over, so he wants to take this opportunity to "be honest with each other" and say some heart-to-heart words to him to win him over.
Li Jiancheng doesn't have a good relationship with him now. If he wants to win over him, he has to ease the relationship between them, so even if he thinks of a way to win over him, he can't do it.
Li Jiancheng saw what Li Shimin was thinking and was unwilling to let Li Shimin succeed, so he soaked in the water and refused to leave.
But Li Jiancheng failed to survive Li Shimin in the end.
Li Yuanji was not prepared to side with any of them, so even if Li Shimin survived to the end, he would not let Li Shimin say anything to win over him.
"Calling yourself sick?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, stared at Li Yuanji thoughtfully and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Li Yuanji curled his lips and said somewhat boredly: "I don't believe that second brother doesn't know what I mean."
The King of Lujiang had all his hands on Gao Shilian, and it was impossible for Li Shimin not to send people to investigate.
After all, the King of Lujiang was not so courageous on weekdays, nor did he have many independent opinions. Suddenly he became bold and uncharacteristically bold, and he was still thinking about Gao Shilian. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy in this.
Li Shimin will definitely send someone to investigate, and they will definitely find Fu Gongyou.
Therefore, Li Yuanji concluded that Li Shimin should have known what Fugong You was doing on Southeast Road and knew that Fugong You would rebel.
Li Shimin had forced Li Yuan into a corner tonight, but he did not ask Li Yuan to fulfill his promise, but asked Li Yuan to give him an accurate word. This was obviously anticlimactic.
Rice Ball Exploration
Li Yuanji deduced based on the incident of Fu Gongyou, and found that it was possible that Li Shimin was paving the way for himself.
Li Shimin asked Li Yuan for a word of truth, which was to block Li Yuan's retreat so that Li Yuan would not be able to go back on his promise again in the future.
Fu Gong turned right, so he only had to devise a plan to overturn Li Xiaogong.
Then the only commanders Li Yuan could send out were his three sons, plus Li Shentong and Li Daozong.
Li Shimin should have a way to 'overturn' Li Shentong, Li Daozong, and Li Yuanji himself.
Then only he and Li Jiancheng are left.
If Li Yuan sends Li Jiancheng to lead the attack, then he can aggressively attack the "territory" currently occupied by Li Jiancheng after Li Jiancheng leaves.
If Li Yuan sends him to attack, then he will have to give him the crown prince position.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
After Li Shimin heard Li Yuanji's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Li Yuanji lazily slumped on the wall of the pool, "If the second brother knows what I'm talking about, then I can complain about the disease together with the second brother; if the second brother doesn't know what I'm talking about, then I can just
I can let my father see me in full swing."
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
Li Yuanji added: "Although I don't have much ability, I have a few capable people under me."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly opened, "Have you also gotten the news?"
Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin and reminded: "Second brother, don't forget who is the commander of the right third army in my house."
Li Shimin let out two long breaths through his nose, and said in a deep tone: "It seems that you are not only smart, but also very wise."
Li Yuanji pretended to be stunned and said with a smile: "So what if I have wisdom, so what if I don't have wisdom. As brothers, are we in need of wise people?"
Li Shimin nodded solemnly.
That's right, as brothers, there is indeed no shortage of wise people around them.
As long as they are willing to accept advice and words of advice, even if they look like middle-class people, the people around them will turn them into smart people.
"It seems that Ling Jing is really a great talent."
Li Shimin did not hesitate to blame Li Yuanji's sudden great wisdom on Ling Jing's head.
Because Li Yuanji became smarter after Ling Jing entered the house.
"Second brother, don't think about poaching me. I have already written to my father to recommend Ling Jing as the chief minister of my house."
Li Yuanji stared at Li Shimin with a smile and 'threatened' him.
Li Shimin stared at Li Yuanji and said confidently: "You are too disrespectful to me."
Ling Jing is just a great talent, and there are a group of great talents in Prince Qin's palace.
Li Shimin would not go so far as to turn against Li Yuanji because of Ling Jing.
"That's good……"
Li Yuanji said with a smile, and then asked: "So when did the second brother claim to be sick?"
Li Shimin no longer hid it, "After tonight..."
Li Yuanji has made his words very clear, and he really needs Li Yuanji to follow him to report his illness, so there is nothing to hide.
Hiding any longer would appear hypocritical and offend Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji would take the initiative to challenge Li Yuan, and part of his plan would be in vain.
"Then I'll call myself sick after tonight."
Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile.
Li Shimin stared at Li Yuanji and said, "What do you want?"
Li Shimin has gradually become accustomed to the way of communicating with Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji should be a golden toad. If he does something for you, he must get some benefit from you.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Li Yuanji to help you do something easily.
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Second brother is really happy."
Li Shimin pretended not to have heard what Li Yuanji said.
Li Yuanji said frankly: "I want to borrow Bachelor Xu from my second brother's literary library."
Li Shimin flinched slightly, but didn't react much. He asked, "What are you borrowing Xu Jingzong for?"
Li Yuanji said generously: "After I am crowned, when masters of Xinglin from all over the world gather in Chang'an City, I intend to use this opportunity to regard Mr. Sun as the leader of Xinglin.
But Mr. Sun is not good at communicating with others, so it may be difficult for him to win the leadership position from the masters of Xinglin Forest from all over the world.
So I want to lend Xu Xu a helping hand to Mr. Sun."
Li Shimin frowned and fell into silence, carefully considering the intention of Li Yuanji's move and whether it would do any harm to him.
After thinking for a long time, he didn't think about the intention of Li Yuanji's move, but he also didn't think about the harm, so he said incomprehensively: "Xu Jingzong is a pure scholar. He can write lyrics and poems, but I'm afraid he can't promote people to high positions.
.
Why would you want him?"
In Li Shimin's eyes, Xu Jingzong is now a person who is pretty good at writing poems and songs. He has nothing special about him, and he is not very important.
So Li Shimin didn't understand why Li Yuanji asked Xu Jingzong to help Sun Simiao.
In his opinion, those female officials and eunuchs in Prince Qi's palace who were good at political tricks and intrigues were better than Xu Jingzong.
So Li Yuanji asked Xu Jingzong to help Sun Simiao. Is he trying to promote Sun Simiao to the top or pull Sun Simiao down from the altar?
When Li Yuanji heard Li Shimin's words, he knew that Li Shimin did not understand Xu Jingzong and did not understand Xu Jingzong's ability.
Xu Jingzong is a little expert in conspiracy.
A famous treacherous person in history.
Li Shimin acted fairly and aboveboard, so Xu Jingzong couldn't use his evil tricks and had little room for development.
But in Wu Mei's hands, Xu Jingzong "sparkled".
With Xu Jingzong's help, Sun Simiao will surely succeed in taking the position of leader of Xinglin.
Because those who study medical skills all day long are really no match for such a sinister person.
This kind of evil person can trick you into giving up your head.
Maybe your head was chopped off by him, but you are still grateful to him in your heart.
"Second brother, just give it to me. I will return it to you after I use it. If second brother is worried, you can send someone to keep an eye on it."
Li Yuanji had no intention of explaining to Li Shimin.
Because the explanation is unclear.
In order to avoid Li Shimin misunderstanding, he could ask Li Shimin to send someone to keep an eye on the whole process.
Li Shimin waved his hand without hesitation, "That's not necessary..."
Li Shimin was not so shameless as to send someone to keep an eye on him after lending him out.
In that case, it would appear how stingy and vulgar he is.
He was just Xu Jingzong, who could only write poems and songs, but he didn't care.
Quan should have asked Li Yuanji to help him test Xu Jingzong's loyalty.
If you are satisfied with the trial results, you can reuse them.
If you are not satisfied, just stuff it into the corner.
"So, second brother agreed?"
Li Yuanji asked with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "I can promise, but I just don't know if you can promise me."
The smile on Li Yuanji's face faded, he stood up without hesitation, shook his head and said: "I don't want to get involved in the fight between you and eldest brother, so don't embarrass me."
Li Shimin frowned.
Li Yuanji walked out and said, "You can rest assured that I won't help you, and naturally I won't help my elder brother."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked up at Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji had already walked out shirtless.
Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are shameless, so can he.
