When Li Yuanji arrived at Jiulongtan Mountain, it was already dark.
Yang Miaoyan, who arrived at Jiulongtan Mountain first, had already arranged the houses for the people living in the house, and the guards had also set up watchtowers and stood guard everywhere.
Li Yuanji took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark yet and took a brief look at the environment of Jiulongtan Mountain.
The scenery of Jiulongtan Mountain is very beautiful, with lush trees and wild flowers of various colors, all gathered together, making it even more pleasing to the eye.
Another waterfall rushed down from the top of the mountain, twisting and turning on the mountainside, leaving nine green water pools.
When the waterfall falls into the pool, it will make a roar. The people around it feel that there is a dragon lurking in every clear water pool. The roar of the waterfall falling into the pool is the roar of the dragon, so it is called the Nine Clear Waters.
The pool is Jiulongtan.
The manor where Li Yuanji recuperated was built a little further away from the edge of the largest water pool in Jiulongtan.
The foundation has only been laid, but the lumber has not been put in yet, let alone living in it.
So I can only temporarily live in a temporary wooden house at the foot of the mountain.
Next to the wooden houses, there is a row of earth houses made of rammed loess with thatched roofs.
That's where the guards and other people in the house live.
After enjoying the scenery of Jiulongtan Mountain, Li Yuanji entered his residence.
Although the residence has just been built, it is made of dry wood and does not have much moisture, so it feels quite dry.
In order to celebrate moving into a new house, Yang Miaoyan took the ladies of the house to the kitchen.
Li Yuanji sat on the couch in the main room and stretched out.
When I was in the palace, I couldn't move around freely because I was sick, so I felt a little depressed.
Now that he was in a place where Li Yuan couldn't see him, he could finally relax and do whatever he wanted.
So he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
"Your Highness..."
Li Yuanji stretched out several times on the couch, while Ling Jing entered the main room with small steps.
"sit……"
Li Yuanji pointed to the couch not far away.
Ling Jing knelt down on the couch and asked, "I wonder why His Highness summoned his ministers here?"
Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and said meaningfully: "I want you to do something for me."
Ling Jing asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
What matter was worthy of Li Yuanji calling him from Chang'an City to this barren mountain to explain?
Ling Jing was puzzled.
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I want you to help me bribe Chang He."
Ling Jing was stunned and said hesitantly: "That Chang He?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "A guard general from Liangzhou."
Ling Jing thought about it and said, "What did His Highness bribe him for?"
Is he just a general who is guarding outside and has little reputation? Is he worthy of being treated like this by Li Yuanji?
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "Because I want him to serve as the general on duty at Xuanwu Gate."
Ling Jing's face changed slightly, and his heart felt huge.
Li Yuanji wanted to place his own people among the guards in the palace. What was he going to do?
Is this to control the palace, or is it something else?
Ling Jing dared to think, but didn't dare to say.
Ling Jing's expression changed and he said: "Your Highness just wants Chang He to serve as the general on duty at Xuanwu Gate, or more people should serve as generals on duty at more palace gates."
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Xuanwu, Anli, Wude, Manna, built-in..."
Ling Jing's expression changed completely and he said in shock: "Your Highness is going to..."
The portals chosen by Li Yuanji were really crucial. They were distributed throughout the palace. Among them, Xuanwu and Anli were in charge of most of the troops in the palace. Wude Gate was adjacent to the East Palace, and Ganlu Gate was adjacent to Li Yuan's dormitory.
Thousands of feet to the west is Li Shimin's Chengqing Hall.
Li Yuanji's arrangement looks like he is going to launch a coup.
Ling Jing had been getting along with Li Yuanji for a long time, and he had some understanding of Li Yuanji. He always thought that Li Yuanji was not interested in that position, but he didn't expect that Li Yuanji would suddenly give him such a big one.
'surprise'.
When Li Yuanji spoke again, he guessed that Ling Jing would have random thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. I'm just here to deal with emergencies. I don't have many other ideas."
Ling Jing didn't believe it.
Once Li Yuanji controls Xuanwu, Anli, and the three internal gates, and then controls the Wude and Ganlu gates, it will be too easy for Li Yuanji to do something in the palace.
It's impossible for Li Yuanji not to be greedy for that position.
Ling Jing took a deep breath and tried to calm down and said: "Why does Your Highness think so? Why do you want to control these portals to meet unexpected needs? Did Your Highness discover something?"
Li Yuanji 'confessed': "I found nothing. The reason why I think so is because I don't want to put my life in the hands of others."
While analyzing Li Yuanji's words, Ling Jing said in a deep voice: "What your Highness means is that the fight between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin will most likely develop into a mutiny in the end?
So His Highness needs to make some preparations in advance to cope with the changes that will happen later?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "My eldest brother and my second brother are incompatible with each other and can no longer get along. My father can't bear to suppress any of them, so when they fight endlessly, they will inevitably fight each other.
"
Ling Jing stared at Li Yuanji and said: "Even so, there is no need for His Highness to send his own people to Xuanwu, the two built-in gates. The people stationed in Xuanwu, built-in two gates are the saint's Yuan Cong, they will only be loyal to the saint, not
Be loyal to people other than saints.
Therefore, even if His Highness puts people in, it will be difficult to control them, and it will be even harder to turn them into His Highness's people."
In Ling Jing's view, Li Yuan treated Yuan Congjun well, and there was no possibility of Yuan Congjun betraying Li Yuan.
By inserting people, Li Yuanji can only influence some people who are determined to pursue glory and wealth, but cannot influence other people.
Under such circumstances, if Li Yuanji wants to do something, the news will easily leak out.
Therefore, Ling Jing felt that Li Yuanji's move was inappropriate.
Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing and smiled and said: "So I don't need them all to become mine. I just need them to be unable to do anything after some changes occur in the palace."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ling Jing frowned slightly and said, "In this case, it would be easier."
Ling Jing looked at Li Yuanji and said, "But if the news leaks out, or if Chang He betrays His Highness, His Highness will be in trouble."
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Then it's up to you to try Chang He."
Ling Jing opened his mouth, intending to persuade again, but seeing that Li Yuanji had no intention of changing his attitude, he could only reluctantly nodded and said: "Here..."
Li Yuanji smiled with satisfaction and immediately ordered people to prepare a place for Ling Jing to live, when Ling Jing suddenly said: "If Your Highness really wants to do something..."
When Ling Jing said this, he paused for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, please tell me the truth, so that I can help His Highness plan."
Li Yuanji was slightly stunned.
Ling Jing was determined to be tied to the same boat with him.
The kind that lives together and dies together.
Li Yuanji pondered: "Why do you say that all of a sudden?"
Ling Jing glanced at Li Yuanji and sighed, "Do you have any other choices now?"
He already knows a lot of Li Yuanji's secrets, so he can no longer break away from Li Yuanji.
If he dares to leave Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji will cut him into pieces no matter where he goes, and the fate of Dou Han, whom he has been thinking about, will not be good either.
He didn't care about his life or death, but he did care about Dou Huan's life or death.
Not only did he care, Gao Yaxian also cared, and Cao Dan, who was in the palace of Prince Qin, also cared.
Because both he and Gao Yaxian had received great kindness from Dou Jiande, they could not ignore Dou Jiande's only orphan.
Also because Cao Dan was Dou Han's uncle, Cao Dan could not stay out of Dou Han's affairs.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"There really aren't many choices."
Li Yuanji understood the meaning of Ling Jing's words through Ling Jing's words, and added with emotion, "You and I don't have many choices."
Ling Jing looked at Li Yuanji and said seriously: "So, can your Highness tell me why you are so anxious to place your own people at various gates in the palace?"
Li Yuanji said frankly: "Because my sister went to war..."
Ling Jing said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, don't you want Your Highness Princess Pingyang to know about this?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Not bad."
Ling Jing hesitated and said: "Your Highness just wants to guard against His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin, or do you want to intervene in the fight between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin?"
Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing and said frankly: "If I encounter a suitable opportunity, I will intervene."
Ling Jing frowned and said in a deep voice, "Isn't it inappropriate for Your Highness to intervene in the dispute between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin now?
This matter will not be of any benefit to Your Highness. Your Highness may also be targeted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Qin.
After all, the Saint is now in his prime. If His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin were to compete early for a winner, it would only be temporary.
If a saint is determined, he can repeat it at any time."
Li Yuan is now free from illness and disaster, living very happily, and looks like he still has many years to live.
Now Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have decided the winner. As long as they don't die, they may be turned upside down by Li Yuan at any time.
So Ling Jing didn't think this was a good time to interfere in the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
Moreover, Li Yuanji could not gain any benefit from this matter. He did not see that Li Yuanji had any means to protect himself after Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin targeted Li Yuanji, so he did not recommend that Li Yuanji take action now.
Li Yuanji knew that Li Yuan could live for a long time, and he also knew that the final winner could only be found between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin if they had to live or die.
But Li Yuanji had his own considerations and plans.
So you have to intervene when it's time to intervene, and you can't just sit back and wait for death.
"I just said that I should intervene when it's time to intervene. It's not that I have to intervene right away. Are you worried that it's too early?"
Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and asked.
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "That's right, I'm just too worried."
