When Li Jiancheng made his decision, he no longer hesitated. He immediately discussed it with Wei Zheng and others, and finally decided to lead Gengcheng Wang Hao to Qingzhou secretly to send a message to Yang Wenqian.
When Li Yuanji got the news, he spit out a mouthful of sweet wine several feet away.
"What did you say?"
Ling Jing knelt down on the mat in the thatched hut and repeated: "There is news from the Crown Prince's palace. The Crown Prince has sent the Prime Minister Wang Hao to Qingzhou secretly."
Li Yuanji put down the green wine cup and didn't know what to say.
Li Yuanji knew what Li Jiancheng sent people to Qingzhou for without having to guess.
Li Jiancheng sent someone to contact Yang Wenqian, the governor of Gyeongju.
The purpose was to ask Yang Wenqian to help him recruit a group of good men and secretly send them to Chang'an.
Historically, this is what Li Jiancheng did.
So Li Yuanji was not surprised at all when he did this now.
Li Yuanji just didn't expect that Li Jiancheng would send Wang Hao to do this.
Is there no one in the East Palace?
You sent a traitor to do this?
Do you think Li Shimin couldn't discover your plan?
Or do you think you didn’t die quickly enough?
"I already……"
Li Yuanji subconsciously spoke. He was halfway through his words, but he couldn't go on because it involved some secrets and it was not convenient for Ling Jing to know.
Li Yuanji looked in the direction of Chang'an City and let out a long breath.
I have brought Li Yi to your lips, but if you don't 'eat' it, you go and 'eat' Yang Wenqian, and even send a traitor there.
You are also a talent.
"What has happened, Your Highness?"
Ling Jing looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously.
Li Yuanji slowly came back to his senses, looked at Ling Jing, and sighed: "I have already lived here in seclusion, and everything in Chang'an City has nothing to do with me, and it has no influence on me."
Ling Jing became even more suspicious.
It’s not like your reaction just now was unaffected?
Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to Ling Jing's suspicious eyes, and said: "Tell the people in my eldest brother's palace to tell him not to spread the news casually in the future, otherwise it will be easily exposed."
Ling Jing looked hesitant.
He felt that Li Jiancheng secretly sent Wang Hao to leave Beijing this time because he must have a big conspiracy.
If the people lurking in Li Jiancheng's palace had not conveyed the news in time, they would not have known about it.
So you should keep in touch frequently.
In this way, they can know all the happenings in Li Jiancheng's palace at any time.
Li Yuanji saw Ling Jing's thoughts and said calmly: "Do as I say..."
Ling Jing gritted his teeth and said, "If this happens, we won't be able to keep track of the movements of the East Palace at any time."
Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and asked, "Why do we know so much about the movements of the East Palace?"
Li Yuanji did not intend to carry out an assassination, nor did he have any intentions of plotting against Li Jiancheng.
Knowing so much about the goings-on in Li Jiancheng's palace will only expose his own people faster and will not bring any other benefits.
Ling Jing was stunned.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said: "It is not easy to put people in the East Palace. We finally put one in, so we have to be careful.
Otherwise, as time goes by, he will be exposed, and so will we.
Do you hope that after he is exposed, he will turn us in?"
When Li Yuanji was investigating the traitors in his house, he forced the people Li Jiancheng placed in his house to death.
YY novel
This caused Li Jiancheng to lose his life severely.
If Li Jiancheng finds out his people, he will not come back with severe revenge.
When the time comes, he will have to face Li Jiancheng directly.
He didn't want to face Li Jiancheng, let alone have a fight with Li Jiancheng, and get an advantage from Li Shimin in vain.
Ling Jing was stunned again and said hurriedly: "Your Highness means that if we have been in contact with him for a long time, he may guess our identity?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "The person we chose is not stupid. If we have frequent contact with him, he will see through his identity sooner or later. So there is no need to expose yourself for some irrelevant information.
We should maintain enough mystery in front of him, so that he can always be in awe of us.
Once we need to use him, he will spare no effort to help us."
At this point, his tone became a little more intense, and he emphasized: "So, we can only ask him for news, but we cannot let him deliver news to us.
do you understand?"
Ling Jing nodded solemnly.
I understand, but I don’t agree.
Ling Jing said seriously: "With your highness's status, there are many people who are willing to be used by your highness. Your highness can not only place people in the East Palace, but also bribe the people in the East Palace.
Your Highness does not need to care about his life or death.
It would be great if he discovered our identity and found a way to get rid of him."
In Ling Jing's view, since people have been deployed in Li Jiancheng's palace, it would be better to deploy more people and collect more information. It would be best to collect all the big and small things in Li Jiancheng's palace in detail.
In this way, it would be easier for Li Yuanji to target Li Jiancheng or do something else to Li Jiancheng.
As for whether the person inserted will be discovered and exposed, as long as they are removed before they are exposed.
In a confrontation on this level of power, the death of a few people is nothing.
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Ling Jing and said angrily: "I placed people in the East Palace to deal with unexpected needs, not for the position, do you understand?"
Li Yuanji always felt that Ling Jing was a little confused about the situation and was thinking about usurping the throne.
It seems that everything can be linked to usurping the throne.
If he wanted to usurp the throne, he would not seek out Li Xiuning, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong and others as allies.
He could directly turn to Li Jiancheng, find ways to help Li Jiancheng make up for his shortcomings, and then crazily suppress Li Shimin.
In this process, he can cooperate with Li Jiancheng to divide the power in Li Shimin's hands, swallow it into his stomach, and turn it into his own power.
One goes down and the other goes up.
The moment Li Shimin fell, that was when he aspired to become the leader of the Tang Dynasty.
When the time comes, no one can stop him.
"Your Highness is really not interested in that position?"
Ling Jing stared at Li Yuanji closely and asked.
How many people have died for that position, and how many people have gone crazy thinking about that position.
Li Yuanji is far more qualified than those people to compete for that position.
Li Yuanji is actually not moved, doesn't he believe it?
"Not interested in……"
Li Yuanji curled his lips and said with waning interest.
Before Ling Jing could speak again, he waved his hand and said, "Go back and do your thing. Don't run here if you have nothing to do. You're too tired."
Jiulongtan Mountain is dozens of miles away from Chang'an City.
Ling Jing kept running to Jiulongtan Mountain, and he didn't feel tired?
Ling Jing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Li Yuanji sent Ling Jing away and soaked in the hot springs on Jiulongtan Mountain, sighing quietly in his heart.
Li Jiancheng didn't know if it was just a rebuke or if there was something really wrong.
Even if you send someone out to recruit troops, you can also send out a traitor.
Li Yuanji originally thought that with the flapping of his butterfly wings, everything that happened during the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin would change.
Now it seems that nothing has changed.
What is supposed to happen will still happen.
Li Jiancheng sent people to find Yang Wenqian, who would do his best to help Li Jiancheng recruit troops.
Li Shimin will know all their movements.
In the end, they will carefully prepare an exquisite meal.
Wang Gui and Wei Ting under Li Jiancheng will become dinner.
Li Jiancheng will also face a major crisis in his life.
"In what way is Li Yi inferior to Yang Wen?"
Li Yuanji really wanted to ask Li Jiancheng why he left Li Yi's help so much and went to look for Yang Wenqian's useless thing?
…
Li Shimin also wanted to ask Li Jiancheng why he left so many powerful people behind and went to find Yang Wenqian instead.
Are those powerful figures not worthy of trust, or is there something special about Yang Wenqian?
Li Shimin sat behind a table in the Xiuwen Pavilion with a serious look on his face.
Not long ago, he just received news from his emissary.
Li Jiancheng sent people to Qingzhou and asked Yang Wenqian, the governor of Qingzhou, to secretly recruit troops.
Li Shimin immediately guessed what Li Jiancheng was going to do.
Li Jiancheng was obviously affected by the rumors inside and outside Chang'an in recent days, and he had murderous intentions towards him.
"Your Highness..."
Duan Zhigan, the younger brother of Duan Zhixuan, commander of the Xuanjia Army, hurried into the quiet room of the Xiuwen Hall and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
Under Li Shimin, Duan Zhigan was a person with little sense of existence.
But like his brother, he was deeply trusted by Li Shimin.
The hundred cavalry team selected by Li Shimin is now under his command.
When Li Shimin saw Duan Zhigan, he temporarily put aside his doubts and asked in a deep voice: "How was the investigation?"
Duan Zhigan bowed and said: "After finding a person named Hu Daniu, the clues were lost."
Li Shimin frowned slightly, "What did you find?"
Duan Zhigan hurriedly said: "According to Hu Daniu's account, before the tortoise shell appeared on the Wei River, he had seen several people wandering around the Wei River, as if they were burying something.
Following Hu Daniu's instructions, I drew portraits of those people.
But I have asked all over Chang'an City, but no one knows those people."
Li Shimin frowned even more tightly, "So, the tortoise shells on the banks of the Wei River are man-made?"
Duan Zhigan nodded without hesitation.
Li Shimin said coldly: "Continue to investigate, and I must find out the person behind it. I would like to see who is making a fuss about me."
Duan Zhigan said solemnly: "Here!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, Duan Zhigan bowed and exited the quiet room.
After Duan Zhigan left, Li Shimin frowned.
Ever since the tortoise shell appeared on the banks of the Wei River and rumors spread in Chang'an that he wanted to be emperor, he had been paying attention to this matter and felt a strong sense of malice.
He had used similar methods before, so he knew it was man-made without guessing.
He doesn't know what the other person's purpose is for doing this, and he doesn't know who the other person is.
He didn't naively think that the other party was doing this to help him.
So in recent days, he has done nothing and has been investigating.
Even though the officials were discussing the matter a lot, and even though Li Yuan summoned him to the Ganlu Hall for questioning, he didn't care.
