Li Yuanji said to Ling Jing: "You should go there too."
Ling Jing said in surprise: "Is the minister going too?"
Li Yuanji nodded.
Ling Jing asked in confusion: "Why?"
Li Yuanji pondered and said: "I always feel that this matter is not as simple as you said. Xie Shufang may not be able to see why if he goes there, so you should go with him."
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "What your Highness means is that His Highness's people are not trying to retaliate against Marquis Yuwen, but have other motives."
Li Yuanji nodded again.
Ling Jing wondered: "What's the plot?"
Li Yuanji did not hide it from Ling Jing, and said frankly: "If what I expected is correct, the reason why my eldest brother asked his subordinates to make things difficult for Yu Wenbao was to squeeze Yu Wenbao away, or to turn Yu Wenbao into a
Deaf and blind people, and then do some shameful things in secret.
Otherwise, why would he let his men make things difficult for a brother's retainer?"
Ling Jing is also a smart man. Hearing this, he immediately understood the hidden meaning of Li Yuanji's words. His face changed slightly and he whispered: "What your Highness means... His Highness the Crown Prince wants to use Hangu Pass to march troops?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "We are inseparable from each other."
After all, with Li Jiancheng's status, if he wanted to use Hangu Pass to make money or seek power for his subordinates, there was no need to make things difficult for Yu Wenbao, let alone make Yu Wenbao deaf or blind.
Therefore, what Li Jiancheng wanted to use Hangu Pass to plan must be something shameful.
Only in this way will he let his people make things difficult for Yu Wenbao, making Yu Wenbao deaf and blind, or simply leave in anger.
Judging from the situation Li Jiancheng was facing now, the only thing Li Yuanji could think of was... Li Jiancheng wanted to use Hangu Pass to march his troops.
As for the troops passing through Hangu Pass, if they pass through Tongguan, which is jointly controlled by Li Yuan and Li Shimin, I think Li Jiancheng already has countermeasures.
Otherwise, if the troops pass through Hangu Pass but cannot pass through Tongguan, then their work will be in vain.
Ling Jing said in shock: "His Royal Highness is going to..."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "He has already killed once, and he won't care about the second time."
Ling Jing hesitated to speak, obviously feeling very uneasy.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and sighed: "This kind of thing can only happen zero or countless times. Since it has been started, it will never stop until the goal is achieved."
Ling Jing couldn't help but said: "But he just killed His Highness the King of Qin. Although the rumors have been calmed down by the Saint, the waves are still there. If he kills His Highness the King of Qin again, won't he be afraid that the Saint will be angry and dethrone him as the crown prince?"
Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing like a fool.
Ling Jing hurriedly added: "I know that once he kills His Highness the King of Qin, no one will compete with him anymore. But whether he can continue to be the prince and inherit the throne depends on whether he kills His Highness the King of Qin.
What can be decided is decided by the saints.
As far as I know, the saint has always hoped that your brothers can live in harmony, and also hopes that your brothers will have a good death.
Once he carried out the act of encroaching on the wall, he was violating the will of the saint.
The saint may not allow him to continue to be the prince, nor may he allow him to inherit the throne.
After all, even if His Highness King Qin dies, he is not the only one who can become a saint."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ling Jing to think so, and immediately mocked: "Maybe he just thinks that once my second brother dies, my father will have to choose him. Maybe in his heart, I am the younger brother."
has never been his opponent and cannot be his opponent."
Ling Jing couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Highness, you are being slighted."
Li Yuanji laughed and said: "Let's just be humble. Sometimes it's a good thing to be underestimated. At least you won't be targeted as an opponent, and you won't be killed overtly or covertly."
Ling Jing laughed, "That's really true."
Li Yuanji talked about business with Ling Jing again, "When you go to Hangu Pass, remember to listen and watch more. As long as the deputy general of Hangu Pass stops stumbling upon Yu Wenbao and makes things difficult for Yu Wenbao, no matter what he wants,
Whatever you do, you can pretend you can’t see it.”
Ling Jing pondered: "Your Highness means...as long as the lieutenant knows what he wants, we won't care what they do?"
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
Ling Jing couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, are you going to let His Highness the Prince's troops in?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I don't know if it's his troops or not. As for whether they are let in or not, it actually doesn't matter to us. Because my eldest brother wants to target my second brother, not me.
If we stop him, he will still use other methods to get those soldiers and horses to Chang'an City.
So if we stop it, it will be in vain.
There is also the possibility of being targeted by my elder brother because of this.
Maybe my eldest brother will use me to practice on before targeting my second brother.
So there is no need to stop it, just pretend not to see it."
Ling Jing nodded and said, "Then do you want someone to keep an eye on it?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "We must keep an eye on it. After all, the troops my eldest brother has summoned this time are probably not mediocre. If we don't know their movements, we will be very passive."
If he appeared quietly in Jiulongtan Mountain and gave us a hard blow, we would also be injured.
So we must send someone to keep an eye on it, but we can’t use people from your house or mine.”
Ling Jing said thoughtfully: "Use the secret hidden around His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Li Yuanji smiled knowingly and said with emotion: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. Now is the time to use it."
Ling Jing also laughed, cupped his hands and said: "I understand what to do, I will do it now."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, waving his hand and asking Ling Jing to go down and do the work.
This kind of thing cannot be put off. If you put it off, you may not be able to catch anything.
Therefore, people must be put in place as soon as possible. As soon as Li Jiancheng's people show up, they will immediately target them and bite them to death.
They must not be given any chance to escape from sight.
Once you let them escape sight, God knows when and where they will appear suddenly and catch you off guard.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuanji doesn’t care about his own safety. After all, as long as he puts on heavy armor, almost no one can do anything to him, let alone Li Jiancheng, who is from Li Yi
The brave soldiers he borrowed were gone, and even if Li Yi came in person, he would still be defeated.
What Li Yuanji cares about is the safety of other people in the house.
After all, if hundreds or thousands of soldiers suddenly rush out, the destructive power they can cause is huge.
The Jingshe at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain, Chang'an Xinglu, and Tanshan Literary Hall cannot withstand the destruction at all.
Maybe it only takes a quarter of an hour, maybe it only takes two-quarters of an hour, but it will definitely not take more than three-quarters of an hour to kill all the ordinary people at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain.
Although Li Yuanji is not a gentleman, he is still decent.
If you sleep with Yang Miaoyan, if you sleep with Wang Ruan, if you sleep with a beautiful woman from Silla, you can't ignore them, let alone just sit back and watch them being in danger.
…
Ling Jing descended from Jiulongtan Mountain at noon and showed up at Xie Shufang's house in the evening to convey Li Yuanji's order to Xie Shufang.
When the moon showed its head slightly, he and Xie Shufang rode a fast horse and rushed to Hangu Pass under the starry night.
At noon the next day, Ling Jing sent back the news.
The situation inside Hangu Pass was exactly the same as what Li Yuanji had guessed, and it was even three points more exaggerated than what Li Yuanji had guessed.
The deputy general of Hangu Pass, who came from Li Jiancheng's sect, did want to secretly move troops to pass Hangu Pass, and it was indeed Yu Wenbao who made things difficult because of this incident.
He promised Yu Wenbao a lot of profit, and perhaps a high salary to Yu Wenbao, in an attempt to make Yu Wenbao pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if he couldn't see anything.
But they were all rejected by Yu Wenbao.
In his desperation, he made things difficult for Yu Wenbao and opposed Yu Wenbao everywhere.
However, with his title and official position, he could not make things difficult for Yu Wenbao, so he borrowed a handwriting from Li Jiancheng.
It was precisely because of Li Jiancheng's handwriting that Yu Wenbao was completely stymied and unable to deliver any news.
It's not that Yu Wenbao was frightened by Li Jiancheng's handwriting. When Yu Wenbao saw Li Jiancheng's handwriting, he didn't care at all.
The deputy general relied on Li Jiancheng's handwriting to persuade several captains in Hangu Pass to evacuate Yu Wenbao's military power and strictly control Hangu Pass, thus stumbling upon Yu Wenbao.
Just like this, Yuwen Baodu made a small fuss on the third day and a big fuss on the fifth day. Whenever something happened, he went to find trouble for the deputy general and several captains.
According to the news passed back by Ling Jing, Yu Wenbao broke an arm of the deputy general, blinded an eye of a captain, and the legs of several other captains.
Yu Wenbao himself didn't get any relief either. He was beaten to a point where he was half disabled and couldn't get up or down from the bed.
"Those who dare to put me under house arrest also dare to be ruthless. It's very good."
Li Yuanji sat sideways on a bamboo mat in the side hall of Jiudao Palace. While reading the long letter sent back by Ling Jing, he narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
After weighing the pros and cons of going to Hanguguan to kill people, Li Yuanji sighed with emotion: "Let you live a few more days..."
After saying this, I read the letter again.
Ling Jing's letter was very long, and only part of it was about Yu Wenbao.
There is also a part about how he and Xie Shufang solved Yu Wenbao's matter after they arrived at Hangu Pass, and what they saw.
Roughly speaking, he and Uncle Xie Fang rushed to Hangu Pass all night long and knocked at the pass. The lieutenants and lieutenants in the pass kept the two of them outside the pass for most of the night on the grounds that they were not allowed to open or close the pass after dark.
After daybreak, they continued to close the gate tightly on the grounds that a thief had appeared in the pass and stole the seal of the general guarding the pass, that is, Yu Wenbao.
He and Xie Shufang tried to shout to each other in vain, so they went back to the capital to ask "His Royal Highness the King of Qi and His Highness the King of Huai'an to come to Hangu Pass and see what kind of thief came out of Hangu Pass", so they forced the deputy general and the
The captains opened the door.
After all, what the lieutenants and lieutenants did was so shameful that they neglected the general who was guarding the gate, and beat up the general who was guarding the gate. No matter which one was revealed, it would be enough for them to die three times.
So when Ling Jing and Xie Shufang said they were going back to Beijing to invite Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, they had to open the door.
