The position of Anrenmen guarding that Li Yuanji was concerned about belonged to the Youjianmen Mansion.
The Right Prison Mansion is under Li Yuan's nose, and any position changes there may be magnified by Li Yuan and considered carefully.
Li Yuanji currently has no one who can withstand Li Yuan's consideration, so he can only wait and see what happens.
However, when Li Shimin inserted people, he could observe carefully to see who Li Shimin inserted and whether they could withstand Li Yuan's scrutiny.
If the person placed by Li Shimin is not an outstanding figure and can withstand Li Yuan's consideration, then he can follow the plan and avoid many detours.
"Kill two birds with one stone..."
Li Yuanji lay down next to the beauty in a happy mood, and for a moment he felt that the wind blowing by his ears seemed to be sweet.
Feeling the moisture brought by the breeze, Li Yuanji's thoughts began to wander.
"Plop..."
I don't know if it was the naughty boy who threw a stone into the pond and disturbed Li Yuanji's enjoyment.
However, Li Yuanji did not go to settle the score with that naughty boy. Instead, at the sound of 'pop', an idea flashed and he thought of a possibility.
"Isn't it my second brother who prepared the position of Youtunwei for Chang He?"
Li Yuanji's eyes flashed.
Yuan Congjun, commanded by Youtunwei, was Li Yuan's personal soldier and had always been regarded as a forbidden favorite by Li Yuan. Although Li Yuan was generous to his son and did not care about his son's crazy sharing of his power, he still cared about Yuan Congjun.
Especially after Zhang Jieyu sued Li Shimin for being unfaithful and Li Chengzong died at this time, Li Yuan was quite dissatisfied with Li Shimin.
Otherwise, he would not have said in public that Li Shimin was not like him.
For an emperor to say this to others in public, he is basically declaring that there is no chance that his son will succeed him.
This shows how dissatisfied Li Yuan is with Li Shimin.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Li Shimin to place his own people among Li Yuan's pro-army troops, and the positions he could obtain were even more limited.
In this matter, Li Yuanji did not rely on his foresight to interfere too much.
So everything develops according to the process of history.
Li Shimin is now sending people to win over Chang He, and since Li Yuan doesn't like him, he is taking the risk to plan a position among Li Yuan's pro-army.
The two are carried out almost simultaneously.
This shows that the position planned by Li Shimin in Youtunwei is very likely to be prepared for Chang He.
"It's just that Chang He seems to have been on duty at the Xuanwu Gate in history. Although the two watch offices are in the same location, they are also divided into internal and external."
Li Yuanji began to verify the probability of his guess based on Chang He's experience in history.
"It is very possible that my second brother made some changes when he decided to exchange the position of the right guard for the position of the left gate. If he is not willing to give up the position of the Xuanwu gate guard, he will definitely change the position of the Xuanwu gate guard.
,replace it with a built-in door guard.”
"It is not easy for him to plan a right guard position, and it is even more difficult to freely switch the guard positions of the Xuanwu Gate and the built-in gate."
"Judging from my father's current attitude towards him, it is impossible to allow him to place people in the Youtun Guard, let alone to change positions at will."
"How my father views him is how he views the people in his family. So it is impossible for the people in his family to help him in this matter."
"So...he found foreign aid..."
"..."
Li Yuanji was completely happy. The smile on his face was brighter than ever before, and he muttered quietly, "Pei Ji... finally let me catch your little tail."
Li Yuanji could almost conclude that Pei Ji must be helping behind the scenes.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to act casually in Youtunwei when Li Yuan still hates him.
In the absence of Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning, Pei Ji was obviously more favored by Li Yuan and could influence Li Yuan more.
Even on some private topics, Pei Ji has far more say than Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning.
After all, there are some things that Li Yuan cannot say to his children, but he can say them to his confidant and favorite Pei Ji.
Pei Ji could also follow Li Yuan's thoughts and accompany Li Yuan to talk.
If necessary, he can also guide Li Yuan to make some decisions he wants.
Although Li Yuan was not a confused emperor, Pei Ji had been by Li Yuan's side for many years and had always been favored by Li Yuan. He might have figured out Li Yuan's temper.
In some important matters of life and death, Li Yuan may not be affected by Pei Ji.
But in other small matters, Li Yuan is likely to be influenced by Pei Ji.
Especially when Pei Ji often speaks according to Li Yuan's thoughts and helps Li Yuan, it will be easier to guide Li Yuan to make the decision he wants for personal gain once or twice.
After all, if a person who always tells the truth occasionally tells a lie, no one will suspect it.
A person who always tells lies may be suspected if he tells the truth once in a while.
"I don't have the time to argue with you now, and now is not the time to argue with you, so I'll remember the tail you showed this time for now."
Li Yuanji smiled and made a mental note to Pei Ji.
The situation has not yet developed to the point he wants. He cannot step onto the stage yet, let alone take the risk to use a small tail to deal with a person who has three boats.
Yes, from now on, Pei Ji is riding on three boats.
His allegiance is to Li Yuan. He openly cheers for Li Jiancheng, but secretly he hooks up with Li Shimin. What is this if he doesn't have three different things to do?
The owners of the three boats he stepped on were quite capable.
If the biggest one among them doesn't care, then even if Li Yuanji exposes his little secret, he won't be able to fail.
So Li Yuanji must act cautiously.
To deal with a scheming old fox like Pei Ji, who can ride on three boats without capsizing, we should plan carefully, slowly gather strength, and then kill him in one fell swoop at the critical moment.
Otherwise, you will be devoured by him sooner or later.
Liu Wenjing is an example.
"My second brother did not hesitate to trade the hard-won position of Youtunwei for the position of Zuojianmen Mansion. It seems that he is determined to win the position of Zuojianmen Mansion."
"Then, what my second brother is planning is probably not just as simple as infiltrating and controlling the Liangyi Sect."
"..."
After Li Yuanji temporarily put aside Pei Ji's problem, he analyzed Li Shimin again.
According to Li Yuanji's memory, during the Xuanwu Gate Revolution in history, the role played by Youtunwei within the Xuanwu Gate can be said to be one of the cornerstones of Li Shimin's success.
For such an important position, Li Shimin exchanged it for the position of the Zuo Jianmen Mansion. It can be seen that in Li Shimin's heart, the position of the Zuo Jianmen Mansion was above that of the Right Guards.
In other words, the plan Li Shimin wants to carry out in the Zuojianmen Mansion is probably more important than the plan in the Youtun Guard.
There is no record in history as to what Li Shimin did through the Zuojianmen Mansion during the Xuanwumen Incident.
I don’t know whether the means prepared by Li Shimin were not used, or whether they were used but not recorded in history.
"However, whether it is used or not, it is no secret to me."
Li Yuanji smiled knowingly.
With Li Xiaogong watching, Yu Wenbao on guard, and Li Shimin putting people in, no matter what he does, he will be investigated clearly.
Even if Li Shimin transferred Yu Wenbao to avoid him, he could not transfer Li Xiaogong.
Li Yuan gave Li Xiaogong the position of General of the Zuojianmen Gate, not because he really wanted Li Xiaogong to be a general of the Twelve Guards, but because among the capital officials in Chang'an City, except for General Tiance and Zong Zhengqing, other actual positions
I can’t let go of such a great person as Li Xiaogong.
Unless Li Shentong died and gave up Zong Zhengqing's position, or Li Shimin became impatient as Tiance General and gave it to Li Xiaogong.
Otherwise, Li Xiaogong could have stayed in the position of General of the Zuojianmen and never moved away.
Li Yuan probably also hoped that Li Xiaogong could remain in the position of General Zuojianmen and sit down.
After all, Li Yuan has no other suitable position to place his nephew, who has achieved great achievements.
"However, we can't let down our guard just yet. We have to prevent my cousin from being attracted by my second brother."
Li Yuanji roughly understood what he should do and how to do it.
After seeing Li Shimin's plan clearly and getting what he wanted with Li Shimin's help, Li Yuanji stood up happily and ordered the maids guarding the far side of the pavilion to pack up everything in the pavilion and take it back to the monastery.
go.
He happily put his hands behind his back, walked to the edge of the pond outside the pavilion, caught his nephew, asked Li Xiaotong and Li Chongyi to hold him down, and whipped two bamboo sticks hard.
"Is it because I didn't hit you hard enough before and didn't teach you a lesson? Or is it because you never see me in your eyes and don't know what my lesson is?"
After Li Yuanji finished whipping Chai Lingwu, he asked Chai Lingwu with a pitiful expression while covering his buttocks with tears in his eyes.
Chai Lingwu opened his mouth quite aggrievedly, "I..."
"Um?!"
"Nephew! Where did my nephew offend you again?!"
Chai Lingwu said quickly with a resentful tone.
Li Yuanji pointed to the pavilion not far away, "I am discussing things in the pavilion and thinking about something. Are you here to help me?"
Before Chai Lingwu could say anything, Li Yuanji added, "It's okay if it's just watering down the water. Later you feel that watering down is not enough, so you throw rocks into the water again.
Did you not see me, or did you see me and disturb me on purpose?"
Chai Lingwu didn't know what to say.
He saw it and didn't take it seriously.
He felt that Li Yuanji would not punish him for such a trivial matter.
So he acted recklessly by the pool.
Now that he was caught and dealt with, how could he dare to say that he didn't take it seriously?
If he dared to speak out, he would probably be punished even worse.
"Nephew, nephew didn't mean it."
After Chai Lingwu hesitated for a while, he readily admitted his mistake.
Li Yuanji snorted twice and said: "For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I won't argue with you this time. Since you are just wasting water and not harming anyone, I will give you tonight
If you want to have extra meals, I’ll give you two more meaty dishes.”
The eyes of Chai Lingwu and the others suddenly widened, and they were about to shout, "Long live uncle".
The pain in Chai Lingwu's butt suddenly seemed to be cured, and he quickly ran to the direction of the monastery.
