Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fighting in a melee. If a place is deliberately destroyed, that place will not survive.
No matter how big the family is, no matter how high-end the wealthy family is, in the torrent of history and under the trampling of the iron hoof, they will be wiped out.
This is irreversible and irresistible.
"I understand, I know what to do..."
Ling Jing bowed respectfully and exited the Jiudao Palace.
On the third day after Ling Jing left, Li Jiancheng took action.
There was no other way. If he didn't take action, Li Yuan would give the other half of the Tang Dynasty to Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin refused to make Li Chengqian the King of Yong, Li Yuan changed the title of Li Tai to the King of Shu, added ten thousand households, and granted him a palace. It was quite cruel and heroic.
Although Li Tai is Li Shimin's son, he has been adopted into Li Xuanba's name.
Li Xuanba has died and has left no legacy, so no one can refuse Li Yuan's reward for Li Tai.
So Li Tai became the third king of ten thousand households in the Tang Dynasty after his father and uncle.
But Li Tai is still a child now, and everything he owns is controlled by Li Shimin.
In other words, the ten thousand households that Li Yuan granted to Li Tai were equivalent to those granted to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin had already filled the northern border of the Tang Dynasty with his own people, and now he used his son to open a huge gap in the southern border of the Tang Dynasty.

What can be expected is that as long as Li Shimin is given some time, Li Shimin will definitely fill the southern border of the Tang Dynasty with his own people.
Once Li Shimin completes this arrangement.
Even if Li Jiancheng became emperor, he was only an emperor in name only.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng could no longer tolerate it, nor could he hide it any longer.
"Your Highness, the men and horses hidden by His Highness in Fuping have moved and are now moving quietly to Chang'an City."
Ma Sanbao had been keeping an eye on the movements of Li Jiancheng's men and horses lurking in Fuping.
Now that the men and horses were moving, Ma Sanbao hurried to Jiudao Palace to report it.
Li Yuanji lay on his side on the soft cushion of Qi Yuan and said with a smile: "It seems that my eldest brother finally couldn't bear it anymore."
Ma Sanbao sat in front of Li Yuanji and said seriously: "If I were you, I would never laugh."
Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Sanbao, "What do you mean?"
Ma Sanbao said in a deep voice: "These people seem to be prepared for you, because not long after he arrived in Chang'an City, he was transferred to the Zhuangzi left by the Dou family not far from Jiulongtan Mountain."
Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "It seems that he is really coming for me. It seems that my eldest brother is planning to kill me and my second brother with a spoonful."
Ma Sanbao nodded and said, "You have to make some preparations early."
Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing.
Since Li Jiancheng has taken action, Li Shimin will not be idle either.
What kind of preparations should be made depends on what Li Shimin will do before he can make a decision.
If Li Shimin had the same idea as Li Jiancheng and planned to mix him and Li Jiancheng together, then he wouldn't have to be polite to these two cheap brothers.
If Li Shimin only targeted Li Jiancheng, then he could be more polite to Li Shimin.
"You go back first. I will send someone to notify you when I need you."
After Li Yuanji drank tea with Ma Sanbao for a while, he asked Ma Sanbao to leave.
Not long after Ma Sanbao left, Ling Jing and Xue Wanshu arrived together.
After Ling Jing asked Li Yuanji to retreat, he said in a heavy voice: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to take action. His Highness King Qin has received the news and is also ready to take action."
Li Yuanji nodded and did not tell him the news that Ma Sanbao had found. Instead, he asked: "How are we going to do it?"
Ling Jing shook his head slightly and said, "The specific minister has not been found out."
Li Yuanji nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He could see that it was not that Ling Jing found out nothing, but because Xue Wanshu was there, it was inconvenient to say some things.
"What about you? What news do you want to tell me?"
Li Yuanji looked at Xue Wanshu and asked.
Xue Wanshu said in a deep voice: "This morning, my two younger brothers both received the imperial order, asking them to go to Haichi to accompany you in two days. Logically speaking, this kind of thing is not their turn to the guards. I
I felt something was abnormal, so I came here to tell His Highness."
really.
For things like chauffeuring, there are left and right guards, but there are not enough people in the left and right guards, and there are also left and right guards. No matter how hard it is, the left and right guards can't take their turn.
Especially when it's the guard's turn to guard the various gates in the palace.
So this thing is indeed a bit abnormal.
Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "What do you think?"
Xue Wanshu pondered and said: "I feel that someone should want to use the portal supervised by Wan Jun and Wan Che to do something."
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "It's also possible that this is a suspicion formation. Let Wan Jun and Wan Che wait for my instructions."
Xue Wanshu cupped his hands and said: "Here!"
Li Yuanji said again: "You go find the steward of the treasury and help me get some ice."
Xue Wanshu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Li Yuanji was trying to get rid of him. He immediately stood up and agreed, and quickly left Qi Garden.
After Xue Wanshu left, Ling Jing said quickly: "The people lurking in the East Palace told me that His Highness the Crown Prince should take action in three days. At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince will find an excuse to deceive you and His Highness King Qin into the palace, and then will
You guys take it together.
We haven’t found out exactly where the ambush will be set up and how many people there will be.”
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "That's enough. After all, he is not my eldest brother's confidant. It is not easy to know this information. My eldest brother doesn't want him to know the details, and he can't find out.
Where is my second brother?"
Ling Jing said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin should have received more information than we have. His Highness the King of Qin is prepared to strike first and take action in two days.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I have not found out how exactly it will be carried out and who it will be targeted at."
Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Didn't you ask Chang He?"
Ling Jing said with a solemn expression: "After asking, Chang He only got an order to stick to the Xuanwu Gate and wait for the order of heaven. He didn't know anything about the others."
Li Yuanji's brows furrowed even more tightly, "It seems that my second brother has blocked the information very strictly, and is unwilling to tell the truth even to an insider like Chang He.
In this way, we will have to use more manpower."
Ling Jing stared at Li Yuanji steadily and said, "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said: "Since my second brother decided to strike first and take action two days later, then we must also take action two days later.
After you return, you immediately send someone to Hebei Province to deliver a message and ask Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Ma Zhou, Li Jing and others to prepare for war. If anything happens to Chang'an City and there is any change in the troops and horses of Duji Road and Shaanxi Province, give me a signal.
When the troops advance westward, they must contain the troops and horses in Duji Road.
When necessary, troops and horses with unusual movements in Duji Road and other places can be introduced into Zhaozhou.
I then sent someone to Henan Province to deliver a message and asked Ren Gui to take his men to prepare for war. Once there was any movement in Chang'an City and the soldiers and horses of Duji Road faced Su Dingfang and the others, he immediately sent his troops to the west to cut off Duji Road.
The connection between soldiers and horses and the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi Province.
Then send someone to Weize Pass to deliver a message to my third sister, asking her to hand over the defense of Weize Pass to the joint control of He Fanren and Xiang Shanzhi, and return to Chang'an City as soon as possible.
I will write a letter and give it to you, and you can have someone take it with you."
Ling Jing cupped his fists with a solemn expression and said, "Here!"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Send an order to Yu Wenbao, asking him to guard Hangu Pass when there is any abnormal movement in Chang'an City. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order.
An order was sent to Kan Leng, asking him to lead his troops to cut off the food and fodder for the soldiers and horses of the East Shaanxi Province when Hangu Pass was under heavy siege. If necessary, destroy the food and fodder camps of the soldiers and horses of the East Shaanxi Province at all costs.
The order was sent to Xie Shufang and Quan Xu, and they rushed to the Tongjunfu camp to wait for orders one day later.
Send an order to brothers Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche to secretly gather the tribes from each government in one place and stand ready."
Ling Jing cupped his fists again and said, "Here!"
Li Yuanji's eyes fell on Ling Jing, "As for you and other officials in the mansion, when there was any abnormal movement in Chang'an City, they all gathered here and led all the guards in the mansion to seal off Jiulongtan Mountain and strictly prohibited anyone from entering.
In and out.
If someone breaks in without permission and someone comes to kill him, he will be killed without mercy!"
Ling Jing looked solemn and said: "It's okay for me to plan things, but not to lead the troops to fight. Your Highness has entrusted the female scrolls in the palace to me, but I'm afraid I'm entrusting you to someone else."
At this time, Ling Jing didn't dare to ask for help. He would do as much as he had the ability to do. He really didn't dare to agree to anything that was beyond his ability.
If because of his incompetence, the women and children in Prince Qi's palace died tragically, then even if he died ten thousand times, he would still be unable to atone for his sin.
"You don't have to worry about this. Just keep an eye on everyone in the Jiudao Palace and follow my orders. Others will do the leading the troops to fight."
Li Yuanji gave Ling Jing a reassurance.
Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good..."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Go down and pass the order."
Ling Jing stood up, bowed his hands in agreement, and hurriedly left Qi Garden.
Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing's leaving figure and sighed quietly, "Is it finally going to start?"
After planning for so long, the critical moment has finally come. No one knows whether it will succeed or fail.
From now on, whether to be a comfortable idle prince or a wandering desperado, it all depends on this.
"Your Highness, the ice cubes you want!"
Not long after Ling Jing left, Xue Wanshu appeared in the prayer garden with ice cubes. Seeing that Ling Jing had left, he was a little reluctant to stay.
So after putting down the ice cubes, I didn't sit down, but stood.
Li Yuanji added a few pieces of ice to the ice mirror in front of him, stared at Xue Wanshu and said: "Xue Wanshu, can I trust your brothers?"
Xue Wanshu was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt on one knee and said solemnly: "Since the five brothers have surrendered to His Highness, they must serve His Highness to the death."
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's it, then go back and make preparations. Tomorrow, the tribes from each family will secretly gather at your house, and you have to hide them by then.
When I need to use your brothers and them, my life and the lives of us will be put in your brothers' hands."
Xue Wanshu was shocked. Although he didn't understand what Li Yuanji meant, he could tell that Li Yuanji was not joking with him. He immediately nodded heavily and said, "I know, and the five brothers will defend me to the death."
