With Pei Ju and Li Gang providing advice, Li Jiancheng is very likely to do this, and he really has to be on guard.
"I understand, I know what to do."
"..."
Li Yuanji was silent for a moment, and said with a mocking smile: "My eldest brother is fine if he doesn't take action. Once he does, he has caused so many things. It seems that my second brother has more headaches than us."
Ling Jing nodded in agreement.
After all, no matter how Li Jiancheng takes action against Qi Wangfu, it will only be to fight against rabbits. His real opponent will always be Qin Wangfu.
Therefore, the troubles that the Prince of Qin's Palace will face may be several times, or even ten times, than those of the Prince of Qi's Palace.
The fact is just as Li Yuanji said, the Qin Palace faces more troubles than the Qi Palace.
After Cheng Yaojin received the decree to be appointed governor of Kangzhou, he immediately rushed to Tiance Mansion with the imperial edict.
After arriving at the place where Li Shimin was handling official business in Tiance Mansion, he saw several people standing at the door holding imperial edicts.
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stepped forward, found someone close to him and asked, "Lao Niu, have you also received the order?"
Niu Jinda's honest face was full of solemnity. He nodded heavily to Cheng Yaojin and said, "I was transferred to Yangzhou as a guard general."
Others also came forward and talked nonsense.
"I was transferred to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion..."
"I was transferred to Jiaozhou..."
"I was transferred to Dizhou..."
"..."
"Isn't Dizhou the place where His Royal Highness the King of Qi belongs? The saint can push and insert people under his hands, aren't you afraid that he will get angry?"
"Who knows. Maybe the sage persuaded His Highness King Qi, or maybe the sage deliberately pretended not to know so that Brother Chu could face the wrath of His Highness King Qi."
"..."
After Cheng Yaojin quietly listened to everyone's words, his expression became more solemn than ever before.
He discovered a very serious problem, that is, no matter where they were transferred, they all had a common characteristic, that is, they were thousands of miles away from the place controlled by Li Shimin.
In other words, if Li Shimin had something to do and needed them, it would be impossible for them to come back in time.
Li Yuan did this. To be precise, Li Jiancheng did this for what purpose. He already knew it clearly in his heart.
"Mr. Su Guo, Your Highness, please come in."
Among the group of people, Cheng Yaojin had the highest official rank, so after waiting at the door for a while, Li Shimin sent someone to invite him into the house.
As soon as Cheng Yaojin arrived at the house, he saw Li Shimin sitting behind the short table with a sullen expression. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou and others were sitting on both sides, and their faces were not good-looking.
"Your Highness, I have been transferred to Kangzhou!"
After Cheng Yaojin bowed his hands to Li Shimin, he spoke solemnly about the content of the imperial edict he had received.
When Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others heard this, their expressions did not change at all. They obviously already knew the news.
Kangzhou is in western Guangdong and is currently under the temporary administration of Feng Ang of Jiaozhou. In this era, it was a place where hundreds of barbarians gathered, that is, a barbaric land.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to describe it as a bird that does not poop, for the Han people, it is almost the same.
Because Kangzhou in this era was full of pests and barbarians, they didn't care about any kings at all, and only believed in their respective gods.
If the Han people go there, life will be very difficult. They may not be able to reach anywhere and die on the way.
Currently, many people in the Tang Dynasty who committed serious crimes but did not commit serious crimes were sent to Kangzhou.
So Cheng Yaojin said he was transferred from outside, but in fact it was no different from being assigned.
"Your Highness, after being reminded by Pei Ju and others, the Crown Prince has begun to cut off your right and left arms. Do you still want to sit back and wait for death?"
Not long after Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Changsun Wuji suddenly spoke, his tone urgent and solemn.
Li Shimin's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan" for an instant and he said nothing.
When Changsun Wuji saw that Li Shimin was silent, he stared and shouted: "Can't you wake up now? After what happened before, haven't you seen that it is impossible for a saint to pass on the title of prince to you!"
Li Shimin frowned even more tightly.
Fang Xuanling opened her mouth, but didn't speak.
He had always hoped that Li Shimin would obtain the title of prince in a legitimate way and succeed as emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
But this hope has been shattered by Li Yuan's "backstabbing" again and again.
So now that Changsun Wuji was trying to persuade Li Shimin to change his approach, he couldn't say much.
"Your Highness, after His Highness the Crown Prince did such things, the saint could let him go and let him continue to supervise the country. It can be seen that no matter how big a mistake he made, the saint would forgive him.
No matter how hard we planned, we wouldn't be able to move to him.
So if you want to replace him, you can only find another way."
Xue Shou followed up after Changsun Wuji finished speaking.
Du Ruhui also nodded and said: "The prince has already cut off his ministers under Pei Ju's advice. If you continue to sit back and wait for death, when he finishes cutting off his ministers, it will be time to attack you."
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "The prince wants to kill me, and I will die. I just hope that your highness can protect yourself as soon as possible, and don't let my blood be shed in vain."
What Cheng Yaojin said was so sincere that Changsun Wuji and others were moved by it.
Changsun Wuji followed without hesitation, clasping his fists and saying, "No matter what the prince does to me, I don't care. I just hope that your highness can protect himself as soon as possible."
"The same is true for me!"
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
Li Shimin finally spoke amidst the "agreements" of his confidants. His voice was a little heavy and he said: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Faced with Li Shimin's questioning, Changsun Wuji slowly stood up and said solemnly: "Of course I know, I just don't want your highness to die in vain, and I don't want all my colleagues to die in vain.
If Your Highness feels that what I said is wrong, you can expel me, and I will never complain."
"Snapped!"
Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up, staring at Changsun Wuji and shouted: "You are trying to persuade me to hurt my brothers and sisters!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Changsun Wuji said without fear: "His Highness regards them as siblings. Have they ever regarded His Highness as siblings? Has Your Highness forgotten that during the Shangyuan Festival, in
Quchi, what did the prince do to you?"
Li Shimin gritted his molars and fell into silence.
Changsun Wuji followed closely and said: "The prince almost poisoned you. If Shubao and Jingde hadn't rescued you in time, you would have died.
The prince has already taken your life, do you still think he regards you as a brother?"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth even tighter.
"When it comes to brothers and sisters, I am your brother and sister. Not only will I not harm you, I will also help you defend yourself against the enemy and even die for you."
"Yes, I will die without regrets!"
"..."
Xue Shou and Du Ruhui spoke one after another.
Li Shimin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Because he can't make a choice.
He knew very well that as long as he opened his mouth or nodded, the people here could quickly come up with a plan that could help him achieve his wish.
But in that case, he would kill his brother and take that position in a bloody way.
In that case, the clear name he was pursuing so hard would be gone.
In that case, even if he worked hard to make the emperor the emperor for eternity, he would still leave a lot of infamy.
In that case, how should he face his father?
In fact, deep down in his heart, he is not afraid of killing his own brother.
It was his brother who apologized to him first, so there was no need for him to be polite to his brother again.
Anyway, the friendship between him and his brother has long since disappeared.
He is also not afraid of taking the blame.
Because at this point, he couldn't find any way to get into that position without being stigmatized. He had no choice, so he didn't have to choose anymore.
The only thing he was afraid of was how he would face his father afterwards.
Except for teasing him about establishing the crown prince, his father had never treated him harshly in other matters. On the contrary, he was very kind to him, even better than Li Jiancheng in some aspects.
So if he killed his brother, he wouldn't know how to face his father.
If his father wants to kill him or demote him to a commoner, what should he do?
If you don’t do one thing, you won’t stop doing the other thing?
Then how can he behave as a human being?
"Your Highness, can't you make a decision yet?"
Changsun Wuji asked with almost filial piety, "Today he transferred Zhijie, tomorrow he will transfer Jingde, and the day after tomorrow it will be Shubao and the others. In just a few days, all the ministers will be transferred.
When the time comes, you, ministers, etc. will all be left to their own devices.
By then, even if you want to regret it, it will be too late."
"Yes, he can't tolerate me, and he can't tolerate you. How can he tolerate the royal family of the princess and the ministers? I'm afraid that after you and the ministers are slaughtered, the family of the princess, the ministers, and even their children will
We will also follow in the footsteps of you and my ministers."
Xue Shou said with a rather ugly expression, as if what he said had already happened.
After hesitating again and again, Fang Xuanling finally spoke.
"If His Highness has any concerns, I can help His Highness take action before they can take action."
Fang Xuanling knew Li Shimin very well and roughly understood why Li Shimin was hesitant, so he got to the point when he opened his mouth.
Although he hoped that Li Shimin would sit in that position in a legitimate way, if that was not possible, he would not mind providing some strategies for Li Shimin's other ways.
After all, if Li Shimin goes up, he will be the minister of the dragon, and it will be a matter of time for him to become the third prince.
If Li Jiancheng goes up, then he will be Li Shimin's remnant. Not to mention being one of the three nobles, whether he can be an official or whether he can live is a question.
"Pre-emptive strike?"
Fang Xuanling's words successfully attracted Li Shimin's attention. Li Shimin's eyes fell on Fang Xuanling almost as soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking.
Changsun Wuji and others also looked at Fang Xuanling with different expressions.
Some people were attracted by Fang Xuanling's words, while others felt that Fang Xuanling was too meddlesome.
They were about to persuade Li Shimin, but when Fang Xuanling came out to cause trouble, things were going to change again.
Fang Xuanling seemed not to notice the different looks of others, and nodded in response to Li Shimin's questions: "I probably guessed what His Highness's concerns were, so I suggested that His Highness take a preemptive strike.
In this way, when the saint blames His Highness, Your Highness can also give the saint an explanation in the name of self-protection."
A bright light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and his expression gradually became calmer. After sitting down slowly, he asked Fang Xuanling thoughtfully, "What's the last resort?"
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and others all stopped talking and sat down, staring at Fang Xuanling quietly, wanting to see what Fang Xuanling had to say.
