Chapter 0412 The situation at Weizeguan

Li Xiaogong was obviously moved by his "selfless" trust and told him about it in return.

He must be worthy of Li Xiaogong's trust.

Immediately, he looked at Li Xiaogong meaningfully and said: "If you are willing to tell me such a fatal thing, you treat me as your brother, and I will not betray your trust.

I won't ask you where those people are now or how many there are.

I don’t even ask you where those four big ships came from.

Since you are bringing this matter up at this time, you want to use them to transport water from Luoyang to Yuhang.

I will inform Ling Jing and ask him to keep silent.

I will also bring them all into the Caoyun Yamen of my house and help you clear the head and tail."

Li Xiaogong stood there blankly and said subconsciously: "Are you not afraid or worried that I have ulterior motives?"

Li Yuanji sighed with emotion: "Cousin, you are also living too cautiously, aren't you? Seeing that you were hiding both the private sector and the navy in Jingzhou, I think you were also courageous, knowledgeable and resourceful when you were in Jingzhou.

A man of strategy.

How come you have become so cautious now that you have returned to Chang'an City, and you have lost your intelligence?"

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth, but didn't speak, and his face looked a little bitter.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji roughly guessed what he was thinking, and said: "I also know that my father was once suspicious of you because of what happened in the sky, but after you returned to Chang'an City and happily handed over power,

, my father no longer suspects you.

You don’t have to live a cautious life anymore.”

Li Xiaogong moved his lips and said angrily: "Have you forgotten that your second brother plotted against me and Uncle Wang before?"

It's okay if Li Xiaogong doesn't mention this, but Li Yuanji wants to laugh when he mentions it.

He said earnestly: "Cousin, if you were in the same state as when you were in Jingzhou, with courage, knowledge, and strategy, who could think of you?

I think you are just scared out of your wits by my father, and you are a little bit defensive.

So when facing my father, my eldest brother, my second brother, and even me, I can't always stay rational.

If you can find your courage and look at the current situation in Chang'an City, you will see it more clearly than I do. You will never be plotted against me again, let alone face my father, my eldest brother, my second brother,

And I couldn't stay sane."

Li Xiaogong hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "I admit everything you said, but there is no way I can regain my courage in front of your father.

Not just me, but other brothers as well."

Li Yuanji took a deep look at Li Xiaogong and said nothing more.

The fundamental reason for this situation is the principles of heaven and earth, kings, parents and teachers, which are the rules of the way of concubines.

This is the basis of life for most people in the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot be changed at all.

If it must be changed, the entire Tang Dynasty will be overturned.

Not only that, but also to subvert the entire feudal society.

Li Yuanji didn't think he could accomplish such a great feat alone.

I don’t think it’s worth doing this for Lee Hyo Gong.

I don't even think that when I am at the top of feudal society, it is necessary to do such things that are harmful to myself and others.

Therefore, he had no way to comfort Li Xiaogong, let alone help Li Xiaogong find his courage. He could only let Li Xiaogong live happily until one day Li Yuan lost power, and one day he took power, and then he could help Li Xiaogong find his courage.

Seeing that Li Yuanji was silent, Li Xiaogong said with some relief and some regret: "This is my life, so you don't have to worry about me, and it's useless for you to worry about me.

You just need to keep an eye on me and don't let your father, your eldest brother, and your second brother swallow me in one bite when they show their fangs."

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong and sighed: "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Li Xiaogong said sarcastically: "It's much more exaggerated than this."

Li Yuanji was unwilling to discuss this issue with Li Xiaogong anymore, and immediately issued an eviction order.

"It's getting late, it's time for you to go back. You have a lot of things to do, but you don't have time to chat with me here."

Li Xiaogong nodded, and after hesitating for a while, he reminded: "Don't tell others what I told you, or I will be dead."

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Xiaogong and said angrily: "I should be afraid of this kind of thing. What are you afraid of? If I don't keep my mouth shut for a moment and tell this matter, you can just push it on me.

, just say I asked you to do this.

I believe my father, my eldest brother, and my second brother will not have time to care about you by then."

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."

If this kind of thing was only done by Li Xiaogong, publicizing it would just be to support private soldiers and plot evil.

There is some impact, but it is limited to Li Xiaogong himself. In addition, since it has not caused much harm, it will not have much impact.

How it will be resolved depends on whether Li Xiaogong's contribution to Li Tang is enough for Li Yuan to let him go.

But if Li Yuanji benefited from what Li Xiaogong did and publicized it, the meaning would be different.

That means Li Yuanji is determined to seize the legitimate son and is secretly gathering strength.

The impact will be great and will affect the entire Tang Dynasty.

After Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin learn about this matter, they will definitely focus all their attention on Li Yuanji without hesitation, and there will be no place for Li Xiaogong.

So, Li Yuanji is right.

When Li Xiaogong handed over the person, Li Xiaogong had nothing to fear.

It is Li Yuanji himself who should be afraid.

However, Li Xiaogong was not unaffected at all.

Once you get involved in something like this, it's almost impossible to escape.

Therefore, after Li Yuanji agreed to incorporate all the naval forces and fleets under Li Xiaogong into the water transport yamen of his residence, the two of them became grasshoppers on the same rope.

Once the rope is on, no one can run away.

So they will keep each other's secrets secret.

Li Xiaogong understood the key, and without any worries, he had no intention of staying any longer. He immediately waved his hand, said a few words, and was ready to leave.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when I walked to the door, I seemed to remember something, I stopped for a moment, and then turned around.

Without waiting for Li Yuanji to ask questions, he said to himself: "By the way, someone died in the palace recently. His status was not low. I heard that it was Shang Yi from Jieyu's palace."

Li Yuanji's heart skipped a beat and he nodded without saying anything more.

I think it was Li Shimin's people who did it again.

This should be part of Li Shimin's carefully prepared plan for Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji probably guessed the specific effect.

It is nothing more than a piece of firewood added when boiling a frog in warm water.

If Li Shimin's plot against Li Jiancheng were revealed at once, it would cause an uproar, but it would also arouse people's suspicion.

After all, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were in a fierce battle.

If Li Jiancheng encounters any trouble, the first thing people can think of is definitely not how to help Li Jiancheng solve the trouble. Instead, they wonder whether the trouble Li Jiancheng encounters is related to Li Shimin and whether it was planned by Li Shimin.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin could not reveal the plot of Li Jiancheng all at once. Instead, he had to attract everyone's attention bit by bit by boiling frogs in warm water, and then find a way to get Li Jiancheng's people, or some

The person involved revealed the matter all at once.

In this way, even if people suspect Li Shimin, they will not keep a close eye on Li Shimin.

In the absence of absolute evidence, it is not easy to drag Li Shimin into the water and clear Li Jiancheng's name.

More importantly, Li Shimin's plan for Li Jiancheng was related to the harem. As a son, Li Shimin could not personally expose the affairs of his father's harem.

In that case, it would be a family scandal.

When Li Yuan dealt with Li Jiancheng, he would not let him go.

So he not only had to boil the frog in warm water to eliminate the suspicion, but also used the method of boiling the frog in warm water to attract Li Yuan to take the initiative to discover this matter.

In this way, when the matter is revealed, he will be innocent. He does not have to worry about Li Yuan's anger, and he can join others in criticizing Li Jiancheng from the moral high ground.

It's just that this matter is related to Li Shimin's plan and Li Yuanji's own plan. Li Yuanji can't tell Li Xiaogong the truth. He can only remind Li Xiaogong to pay attention and don't contact people in the harem.

Get in touch with those relatives.

Li Yuanji had already told Li Xiaogong what needed to be said, so when Li Xiaogong brought it up again, Li Yuanji had nothing to say.

Seeing that Li Yuanji just nodded, Li Xiaogong didn't say anything, nor did he care about it. He turned back and continued walking out.



Two days later.

The people Li Yuanji sent to the Xiuwen Museum to deliver the water transportation documents finally completed the delivery.

Li Xiaogong and Ling Jing immediately brought people over to read the documents, record what needed to be recorded, copy what needed to be transcribed, and compile detailed statistics that needed to be compiled.

After two days of busy work, I probably went through all the paperwork.

Li Xiaogong sent people back to his hometown to get the results of the investigation along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and compared it with the situation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the pre-Sui Dynasty recorded in the documents.

Then together with Ling Jing, they formulated the strategy of dredging and developing the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Ren Gui had been working on the document for a long time and wanted to change his mind, so he joined in.

As the leader, Li Yuanji had no time to join in.

Because Su Dingfang has arrived at Weize Pass and sent back the news.

The situation at Weizeguan is a bit pessimistic.

Ma Sanbao had no intention of leading troops into Chang'an to rescue Li Xiuning, nor did he intend to occupy Weize Pass to force Li Yuan to release Li Xiuning. He only wanted to occupy Weize Pass and protect the last piece of pure land for Li Xiuning, hoping that Li Xiuning would lift the ban on Zongzheng Temple.

From now on, I will go back to Weize Pass and continue to live the same leisurely life as before without any disputes and just focus on fighting.

But Li Zhongwen obviously didn't think so. He felt that there was a vast world inside and outside Weize Pass, and there was a lot to do.

So he invited Ma Sanbao and He Fanren to discuss important matters with him.

After being rejected, Ma Sanbao and He Panren were imprisoned.

Finally, under the pressure of a group of generals who were loyal to Li Xiuning and had a good relationship with Ma Sanbao and He Panren, he was released again.

Now the two sides are leading troops and horses to confront each other, and there are Turks moving around outside the pass.

The situation is very bad.

In Su Dingfang's words, "If one of them fails, it will be another battle at Weizeguan."

Thinking about the current turmoil within the Tang Dynasty in order to seize the direct heir, and thinking that the Turks are likely to send their troops southward again, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, Li Yuanji felt a little numb.

It's not that he is afraid of the tens of thousands of Turks who control strings, but the current internal situation of the Tang Dynasty is not suitable for starting a war with the Turks.
