Chapter 0281: Impulsive, suitable for being exploited?
Man Tang Hong Chapter 0281: Impulsive, suitable for being exploited?
Li Shimin didn't say a word from beginning to end, quietly listening to Li Yuan's instructions.
Li Yuan had scolded enough and was tired, so he snorted dissatisfiedly, "Yuanji is a little muddled and a little arrogant, but in his heart, the friendship between you is far more important than identity, status and power.
As brothers, you should tolerate him and protect him.
It is his fault that he has failed you in public today, but you are not allowed to argue with him, let alone make trouble for him, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you.
I dote on you and spoil you, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate you bullying your brothers."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin each expressed their opinions, saying that they would never trouble Li Yuanji and would love Li Yuanji, so Li Yuan let them go.
Li Yuanji took advantage of the topic and made a fuss in the palace, which not only gave Li Xiuning a sigh of relief, but also partly achieved the purpose of lowering the vigilance of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
Although Li Yuan jumped in anger, he still kept his sense at the critical moment, went with the flow, and educated his two sons.
Li Yuanji relied on the advantage of foresight and tracking first, and knew that a storm was about to arise in the palace.
Although Li Yuan did not have the ability to predict things in advance, nor could he keep an eye on them first, but with the political sense he had honed over a long period of time, he still sensed something was amiss.
He didn't know what his two sons were planning, so he could only take the opportunity to talk about it, hoping that the two sons would restrain themselves.
…
After Li Jiancheng returned to the palace, his face looked gloomy.
Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, and Ren Gui, who had just returned to Beijing, were waiting in Chongwen Hall.
Li Jiancheng entered the Chongwen Hall, and without waiting for Wang Gui and others to ask, he said directly: "My father just beat me."
Although Li Yuanji slapped him in the face in public, making him unable to get off stage, although it made him resentful, it was worse than Li Yuan's beating of him.
Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting's expressions all changed.
Ren Gui, who didn't know the inside story, looked suspicious, but didn't speak.
Wang Gui's face was gloomy and uncertain as he said, "Did the saint notice something?"
Wei Zheng and Wei Ting's expressions suddenly turned uglier.
Ren Gui's face was still suspicious.
He really wanted to know what Li Jiancheng, Wang Gui and others had done without telling him, so much so that Li Yuan's one beating made them all change their colors.
Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "I don't know..."
Wei Ting hesitated and said: "Wang Hao and Yang Wenqian did it very covertly, and their excuses were very sufficient. If a saint doesn't know the inside story, he won't suspect anything at all."
Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully and said: "The saint should just beat him normally. After all, Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang was wronged and it was the fault of the saint. King Qi stood up for Princess Pingyang and seemed to be kind and righteous, but the saint was injured again.
He, there is no way to beat him anymore."
Wang Gui stroked his beard and added: "And then you took it out on His Highness?"
Wei Zheng nodded in agreement and said, "If your prediction is correct, the saint should also have beaten the King of Qin, right?"
Li Jiancheng felt that what Wei Zheng said made some sense, and nodded thoughtfully.
Wei Zheng showed an expression that was indeed true.
Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "I always feel that this matter is not as simple as Wei Xima said."
Wei Zheng was stunned.
Wang Gui tugged at his beard and said, "Could it be because His Highness used to fight endlessly with the King of Qin, but has stopped fighting with the King of Qin these days, and the saint noticed something strange?"
Li Jiancheng was silent for a while and nodded seriously.
He quite agrees with Wang Gui's statement.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
He had been fighting openly and secretly with Li Shimin before, and if he suddenly stopped fighting, it would definitely look abnormal.
Li Yuan had doubts and was also cleaning up.
"In this case, in addition to our secret plans, we must continue to fight against the King of Qin openly. Otherwise, it will be easy for us to find out the clues."
Wei Zheng said with a deep expression.
Li Yuan could detect the abnormality in the East Palace, then Li Shimin must also be able to detect the abnormality in the East Palace.
Everything they secretly planned was aimed at Li Shimin. If Li Shimin noticed something, then they would most likely lose all their efforts.
So we have to guard against it.
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said, "Then let's fight."
Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, and Wei Ting all nodded, and then began to plan how to openly fight Li Shimin and confuse Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng suddenly seemed to remember something and said: "If my father hit me because he noticed something was wrong with me, then why did my father hit Shimin?"
Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, and Wei Ting were all stunned.
Wei Ting shouted: "The King of Qin is also acting abnormally?!"
Wei Zheng and Wang Gui's expressions changed again.
King Qin also has a plan?!
You can tell with your butt that it must be aimed at Donggong.
"Your Highness should send someone to keep an eye on Chengqing Palace as soon as possible to find out what King Qin is doing."
Wang Gui said quickly.
Li Jiancheng nodded solemnly.
The reason why Wang Gui mentioned Chengqing Hall, not Tiance Mansion or Xiuwen Hall, was because the ears and eyes of the East Palace, despite their hard work, only penetrated into Chengqing Hall, not Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall.
Li Shimin built Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall like iron barrels, and the people in the East Palace could not find any cracks in them.
Ren Gui looked at Li Jiancheng, then at Wang Gui, Wei Zheng and Wei Ting, still looking confused.
So what are you talking about?
What did you do behind my back?
Li Jiancheng saw Ren Gui's doubts and asked Wei Ting to outline their plan.
After Ren Gui finished listening, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
In his view, Li Jiancheng's plan was a good one, but its implementation was rigid, rigid, and full of loopholes.
He hesitated for a long time before holding back a sentence, "Your Highness, why should you sacrifice the near and seek the far away? If Your Highness needs someone, just send someone to tell me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the pacification ambassador of Henan Province and the general manager of Xuzhou, he commanded many troops and could mobilize even more troops during war. He also had generals such as Cui Shu and Zhang Gongjin under his command.
Although Zhang Gongjin became Li Shimin's man under the recommendation of Li Shiji and Yuchi Gong and could no longer be used in private, Cui Shu could.
If Li Jiancheng wants to hire someone, he only needs to greet him in private. He can not only help Li Jiancheng prepare elite soldiers, but also help Li Jiancheng prepare powerful generals, without leaving any loose ends.
There was absolutely no need for Li Jiancheng to go to great lengths to send Wang Hao to Qingzhou to conspire with Yang Wenqian to recruit people.
Although Yang Wenqian is the top military leader in Gyeongju, Qingzhou is not Yang Wenqian's only one.
There are people from Li Yuan in Gyeongju, people from An Xinggui, and maybe secretly people from Li Shimin.
There are so many people and so many eyes, so it is not suitable for carrying out small actions secretly.
Li Jiancheng faced Ren Gui's question and sighed: "You were preparing for war at that time, and you were surrounded by Xiuning's troops. I was afraid that the news would leak out."
Ren Gui opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at all.
When Li Xiuning sent troops out of Chang'an and dispatched troops and horses to pass through Henan Road, he was recruiting troops in Henan Road and even Xuzhou to do some private things, and there was indeed a risk of being discovered.
But risks also come with opportunities.
With just a little bit of manipulation, he could generously select top-notch experts from the soldiers of various places in the name of supplementing the troops of Henan Province and Xuzhou.
Not only can he complete the tasks assigned by Li Jiancheng, but he can also give the new recruits an identity, allowing them to hide in the dark and come out in the open.
They can even be brought to the battlefield on the Southeast Road to hone their skills, quickly spawning a team of elite soldiers who work well together and can display a certain level of strength.
But Li Jiancheng obviously only values risks and not opportunities.
If Li Jiancheng's plan in Gyeongju was impeccable, he would definitely admire him and would never be speechless.
But Li Jiancheng's plan in Gyeongju seemed to have no risk, but in fact it was full of risks.
Li Jiancheng had already made a decision and implemented a plan. He could no longer correct the chaos or help Li Jiancheng correct his mistakes. He could only be speechless.
Li Jiancheng looked at Ren Gui who had something to say but couldn't say it, and said: "I know your loyalty. But this matter is very important and cannot let any news leak, so I can't take any risks."
Ren Gui sighed in his heart and bowed, "I understand..."
After saying this, he immediately stepped aside and never said another word.
Li Jiancheng was very satisfied with Ren Gui's reaction. After nodding his head approvingly, he began to make plans with Wei Zheng and others, planning how to openly fight Li Shimin.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Li Yuanji was mentioned only by Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng said with an ugly face: "What do you think of what Yuan Ji did today?"
Wang Gui, Wei Zheng and Wei Ting looked at me and I looked at you, but they were not in a hurry to speak.
Li Jiancheng was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Yuanji's loss of face today.
But Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting felt that although Li Jiancheng lost face today, the benefits he gained were huge.
Li Yuanji's making such a fuss fully demonstrated his domineering, arrogant, emotional and reckless behavior.
This kind of person cannot control his emotions, does things regardless of the consequences, and behaves arrogantly. He cannot hold a high position.
Neither Li Yuan nor the civil and military officials would allow such a person to take on important responsibilities, let alone allow such a person to have the opportunity to sit on the throne of prince or emperor.
Therefore, when Li Yuanji made a fuss today, it can almost be said that his little hope of competing for that position was wiped out.
For Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, this has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Li Jiancheng can clearly eliminate a potential enemy, and can confidently and boldly develop it into a support without worrying about attracting wolves into the house.
The most important thing is that Li Yuanji is easily emotional, impulsive, domineering and reckless, and is very suitable for being exploited.
Wang Gui said frankly: "Although His Royal Highness the King of Qi has let some things go today, in my opinion, this matter is only good for His Highness and has no harm.
Although His Highness has lost face, he has eliminated a potential opponent."
Wei Ting nodded and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi is impulsive and does things without regard for the consequences. If you can take advantage of him, you may get unexpected gains."
Wei Zheng said thoughtfully: "I remember that in the winter last year, His Highness King Qi was struck by lightning and became a lot smarter..."
Wei Ting couldn't help but said: "Is there a conflict between being smart and being impulsive and doing things regardless of the consequences? When you and I lose our temper, we will also do things that look a little stupid."
