Without him, the maid would probably not be able to escape the miserable life. Chen Shanyi might have died long ago, and the guards might have changed several times.
Yin Ah Shu might still be a guest in Wude Palace. "Your Highness, Yin Jianmen would like to see you." The guard bowed behind Li Yuanji and reported.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What's he doing here?" Just as he thought of Yin Ah Shu, Yin Ah Shu arrived. Could this guy belong to Cao Cao?
But he has never heard that this guy has a hobby of liking other people's wives? "I don't know."
The guard hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you want me to go down and ask?"
Li Yuanji thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, please come in and I'll see what trouble he wants to make."
Speaking of which, Yin Ah Shu offended him first, and then offended Li Jiancheng. It is a miracle that he can survive to this day.
He did not take action because Yin Ah Shu was a small person and was too lazy to go to all the trouble to plot against Yin Ah Shu.
Why didn't Li Jiancheng take action against Yin Ashu? It couldn't be because he was afraid of Yin Ashu's daughter, Concubine Yin De, right?
Then Prince Li Jiancheng is too worthless. "Maybe he is not afraid of Concubine Yin De."
Li Yuanji quickly put the thought that Li Jiancheng might be afraid of Concubine Yin De out of his mind. He was not afraid of Concubine Yin De, so how could Li Jiancheng be afraid of Concubine Yin De.
Do you really think that because you are favored by Li Yuan, you can ride on the head of Li Yuan's biological son? What a joke!
If Concubine Yin De really dares to have such an idea, and if she really dares to put this idea into action, the Dou family can kill her, and the Yin family at the same time, without the help of the three brothers.
The Dou family has several families. The reason why they appear to be very low-key on weekdays is because the head of the Dou family has been in Yizhou all year round. If the Dou family really gets into any trouble, the Dou family head cannot come forward to solve it immediately.
Secondly, because the house where Empress Taimu came from now only has a few young people in charge, and it is impossible to speak in front of Li Yuan.
Therefore, the Dou family should try their best to keep a low profile when the backbone of the family is not around. To avoid being a big tree, attracting jealousy and causing unnecessary trouble.
But if anyone dares to touch the foundation of the Dou family's wealth, the Dou family will definitely make the other person realize what the real Dou family is.
The foundation of the Dou family's wealth lies in these three brothers. As long as they can maintain their status as direct descendants.
So a hundred years after Li Yuan, no matter who of the three brothers ascends the throne, the Dou family will continue to enjoy glory and wealth.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng cannot be afraid of Concubine Yin De, because she is not worthy, and because she cannot pose any threat to Li Jiancheng.
"Could it be that...the rumors in history are true?" Li Yuanji's eyes flickered slightly.
If the rumors in history are true, then it would be a lot of fun. "Your Highness, Yin A Shu."
While Li Yuanji was analyzing the historical rumors in detail, Yin Ashu had already arrived at the main hall of Wude Hall.
Long time no see. Although Yin A Shu still has the appearance of a roe-headed mouse, he has become a lot richer. From a skinny mouse, he has become a fat mouse.
The green official uniform looked a little too small on him, so there were loops of flesh, which looked very funny.
"Sit down and talk." Li Yuanji ordered calmly.
Yin Ashu thanked him and sat down to one side of the main hall in a polite manner.
After hinting overtly and secretly that Li Yuanji retreated, he said impatiently: "Your Highness, I have important news to tell you."
"Yes!" Li Yuanji just agreed without saying anything more.
Yin Ah Shu hurriedly said: "That rebellious guy Li Shou may have betrayed you. I saw him coming out of the East Palace when I was on a business trip a month ago."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment. This news was a piece of history for him.
But it’s not bad that Yin Ashu decided to tell him after getting the news. But why does everyone think that Li Shou is his?
He really didn't have much to do with Li Yi, and he only had some financial dealings with Li Shou.
The little thing Li Yi gave him was not enough for him to take Li Yi under his command and help Li Yi change his destiny.
"Do you know why Li Shou went to the East Palace?" After Li Yuanji came to his senses, he stared at Yin Ashu and asked.
The flattering smile on Yin Ashu's face disappeared a lot, and he hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji said again: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you, and I will also give you a lot of rewards."
Yin Ah Shu struggled for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince asked him to train Chang Lin Bing again."
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows slightly. I'm afraid it's not to retrain Chang Lin Bing, but to replace Chang Lin Bing.
After all, if Changlin soldiers could be trained, Li Jiancheng would not have to take huge risks and go to Gyeongju to raise private soldiers.
Although the number of Chang Lin's soldiers was small, only three thousand, it was not enough in front of him and Li Shimin.
But if Li Jiancheng can really train Changlin soldiers, he can expand the number of Changlin soldiers at any time.
Changlin Bing is the collective name for all the soldiers under Li Jiancheng's command, and does not refer specifically to a specific troop under Li Jiancheng's command.
According to Li Yuan's plan for the arrival of troops, the number of soldiers Li Jiancheng could command far exceeded the three thousand.
Li Jiancheng only needed to recruit the left and right inner and left prison guards who were in charge of the personal soldiers, and the number of personal soldiers would reach nearly 20,000.
If Li Jiancheng trains Changlin soldiers and recruits them to full capacity, they will definitely be a great help to Li Jiancheng.
It's a pity that Changlin soldiers can't be trained, let alone fully recruited. "You said that my eldest brother asked Li Shou to help him train soldiers?"
Li Yuanji lamented in his heart that Li Jiancheng had played a good hand of cards to pieces, but he asked in astonishment on his face. Yin Ashu nodded quickly.
Li Yuanji pretended to be puzzled and said: "I heard that Ren Gui has not returned to Beijing? Why doesn't my elder brother ask Ren Gui to help him train troops? In my opinion, Ren Gui's talent in military training should be better than Li Shou's, right?" ?"
Yin Ashu had no idea why Li Jiancheng asked Li Shou to help him train troops. He could only scratch his head and said truthfully: "I don't know either."
Li Yuanji pretended to be sorry and said: "Then do you know what the purpose of my eldest brother asking Li Shou to help him train troops?"
Yin Ashu sat there with an embarrassed look on his face and said nothing.
Why Li Jiancheng asked Li Shou to help him train troops was not a problem in Yin Ashu's view.
Li Jiancheng's purpose is like the lice on a bald man's head. It couldn't be more obvious. It doesn't need to be said, and it can't be said.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I won't embarrass you. Do you have any other news you want to tell me?"
Li Yuanji stared at Yin Ashu and asked.
Yin Ah Shu said without hesitation: "Except for tonight's Nuo opera ceremony, the saint will be the chief priest and the prince will be the accompanying sacrifice, there is no other news."
Speaking of this, he quickly added: "If I find out any other information, I will tell His Highness immediately."
In Yin Ah Shu's opinion, there is nothing special about Li Yuan serving as the chief priest in the Nuo opera festival and having Li Jiancheng serve as the accompanying sacrifice.
But in Li Yuanji's view, this is the most valuable and important news among the many messages that Yin Ashu brought him.
This news confirmed his suspicion.
After Li Shentong secretly sent someone to tell him that something was going on tonight, he guessed that Li Yuan might ask Li Jiancheng to serve as a companion in the Nuo opera ceremony tonight.
Now it seems that he was right.
There is no big problem if Li Jiancheng serves as the accompanying sacrifice in the ceremony where Li Yuan is the main one. But when combined with the previous sacrifices where Li Yuan was the main one, it becomes a big problem.
Li Jiancheng had not served as an accompanying sacrifice in other sacrifices held by Li Yuan in the past. This was because Li Yuan had always taken Li Shimin's feelings into consideration.
Now, taking advantage of Li Shimin's absence, Li Jiancheng was suddenly asked to serve as a companion sacrifice, which was still a big sacrifice to the gods and ghosts from all directions.
Li Shimin knows, can he bear it?
You must know that when Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to serve as an accompanying sacrifice in such a big sacrifice, it was equivalent to introducing Li Jiancheng to the gods and ghosts in all directions. It was equivalent to telling the gods and ghosts in all directions that Li Jiancheng was his successor and that Li Jiancheng would succeed him. The location is the norm.
How does Li Shimin, who has worked hard for the word orthodoxy for many years and lived through life and death for many years, accept this?
Good guy, I'm still working my ass off with others outside to get your recognition, but you just backhanded me and pinned something on my eldest brother's head that I couldn't get even after years of hard work and sacrifice?
So tell me, should I fight tooth and nail with my big brother? "As long as you have the heart."
Li Yuanji mentally confirmed his guess and praised Yin Ah Shu.
In Yin Asu's expectant eyes, Li Yuanji ordered someone to bring some gold cakes and gave them to Yin Ashu as a reward.
At the same time, some precious tributes were also taken and rewarded to Yin Ashu.
Although Yin Arat is not very good, the news he brings is full of useful information, so he must be rewarded.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the generous reward."
Yin Ashu happily accepted all the rewards, and after thanking him several times, he couldn't wait to leave Wude Hall.
After Yin Ashu had left for a long time, Li Yuanji suddenly took off the Tang Dao from his waist and threw it on the weapons rack aside.
Now that you know what will happen tonight, and you know that what happens tonight will not affect you, there is no point in carrying a weapon.
After all, the weapon carries a killing intent and he is so fierce. It would be bad if he scares away the ghosts and gods from all directions.
"Your Highness, it's time to wear auspicious clothes."
Li Yuanji stayed in the main hall until evening, when several maids entered the hall carrying a gaudy dress propped up on a shelf.
It is said to be auspicious clothing, but it is actually a sacrificial clothing, and it is also a costume specially prepared for the Nuo opera festival.
Li Yuanji stretched out his arms, let the maids put the so-called auspicious clothes on his body, and then left the main hall.
Outside the main hall, Yang Miaoyan and those who were qualified to participate in the sacrifice had been waiting for a long time. "Let's go!"
Without too much greeting, Li Yuanji waved his hand and rushed to the square in front of Tai Chi Hall with Yang Miaoyan and others.
