Chapter 0057 The thief's heart is not dead, and the guard is strictly guarded

Li Shimin is preparing hard for a battle with Liu Heita.

The warrior thought that Li Tang's power was too stable, so he made such a move at this time?

Li Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. He actually sent Liu Jun to test his attitude. Wasn't he afraid that he would reveal something to Li Shimin and force Li Shimin to give up the conquest of Liu Heitai and run back to Chang'an City to do one?

"Your Highness?"

Seeing that Li Ji had been silent for a long time, Liu Jun couldn't help but speak.

Li Ji glanced at Liu Jun and said with a speechless expression: "I would like to know which master gave this memorial to my father?"

Li Ji must find out which warrior it is so that he can stay away from him in the future to avoid being tricked to death by him.

Liu Jun smiled dryly and said nothing.

Li Ji rolled his eyes at Liu Jun and said angrily: "Go back and tell my father, either kill this man and give his head to me, or make him King of Qin."

Liu Jun's eyes widened in astonishment.

Li Ji ignored Liu Jun, got up and left the pavilion of the garden.

Li Yuan is obviously addicted to playing with fire.

He promised Li Shimin the crown prince position twice, but then regretted it, and Li Shimin didn't do anything to him.

Did he mistakenly think that Li Shimin could be manipulated by him at will, and be pinched and rounded by him?

He didn't even think about it. The reason why Li Shimin was picked on by him again and again was because Li Shimin still believed in him.

When his trust in Li Shimin was gone, it was time for Li Shimin to fall out with him.

Li Ji knew what Li Shimin had done in history, so he knew that Li Shimin's trust in Li Yuan had a bottom line.

Li Yuan still didn't know what Li Shimin had done in history, so he felt that his majesty could intimidate Li Shimin.

Li Ji walked out of the pavilion, walked through the garden, and returned to the front hall of Luoyang Palace. Xie Shufang came forward to greet him with joy.

Seeing Li Ji's gloomy face, Xie Shufang's smile froze. He hurriedly approached Li Ji and said, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Li Ji put on a smile and said, "What can happen? Nothing can happen."

Xie Shufang looked at Li Ji doubtfully.

Li Ji smiled and said: "It is also a happy event that you have been granted the title of Marquis of Pingyao County. I will send someone to tell the cooks soon and ask them to prepare some wine and food, and we will celebrate together in the evening."

When Xie Shufang heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said with some trepidation: "The reason why I was awarded the title of Marquis of Pingyao County is also due to His Highness. How can I be so embarrassed..."

Li Ji didn't wait for Xie Shufang to finish his words, raised his hand and interrupted Xie Shufang's words, saying: "Your credit is your credit, don't say such things again in the future.

You are a member of my family, and you have been granted the title of County Marquis. If I didn’t help you celebrate, others would think I was a miser."

Xie Shufang smiled and scratched his head.

Li Ji immediately ordered the guards to send a message to the cooks, and asked Xie Shufang to invite some people who were close to him to have a banquet in the side hall of Luoyang Palace in the evening to celebrate his being awarded the title of Marquis of Pingyao County.

Xie Shufang happily left Luoyang Palace to invite his guests.

Li Ji frowned and entered the side hall.

After sitting down with the queen in the side hall, Li Ji took a pen and paper and wrote a letter home to Li Yuan.

Li Shimin had just led his troops and horses to leave Chang'an City, but behind his back Li Yuan had the idea of ​​playing with fire, which was not only excessive, but also outrageous.

Li Ji must write a good letter to Li Yuan, vaguely reminding him of the stakes, so that he can give up the idea of ​​playing with fire as soon as possible.

Li Ji didn't care how Li Yuan cheated Li Shimin, but he cared whether Datang could successfully complete the great cause of unifying the Central Plains.

This is a matter of great justice and his vital interests.

After Li Ji finished writing the letter, he ordered his attendants to send it to Chang'an City day and night.

Not long after Li Ji returned to the side hall of Luoyang Palace, Liu Jun also appeared in the side hall of Luoyang Palace.

"Your Highness?"

Liu Jun stood at the door of the side hall and shouted.

Li Ji dropped his pen and ink and entered behind the screen of the side hall without looking back.

Liu Jun wanted to have a word with Li Jiduo, but Li Ji ignored him, so he could only leave angrily.

Liu Jun left the side hall of Luoyang Palace and rushed to the front hall to pay a visit to Li Shimin. He handed over the first batch of Yuan clothes he escorted, exchanged a few words with Li Shimin, and hurried out of Luoyang City.

When he met with Li Shimin, he did not dare to say a word about the vassal affairs.

Li Yuan just had some immature ideas and asked him to test Li Ji's attitude, and specifically told him not to let Li Shimin hear about it.

He didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Li Shimin.



evening.

The cooks have prepared the food and wine.

The guests invited by Xie Shufang also arrived at the side hall of Luoyang Palace.

Xie Shufang didn't have many guests, only four of them, one was a soldier in the army and three were captains in the army.

Li Ji smiled and asked Xie Shufang and four of Xie Shufang's guests to sit at the rear of the side hall. He ordered people to serve wine and food, and together they celebrated Xie Shufang's title of Marquis of Pingyao County.

Li Ji put down the airs of King Qi and got into a quarrel with Xie Shufang and others. He drank until midnight, then drunkenly returned to the dormitory to rest with the help of the guards.

In the next two days, while Li Ji was waiting for Li Yuan's reply, he made preparations to establish the Zuo Yitong Army among the Zuo Santong Army.

Li Ji had a high prestige among the refugees in Luoyang City, so he had just revealed some news about the preparations for the formation of the Zuoyi United Army. Immediately, countless warriors with weapons rushed to the camp where the guards of the Prince of Qi were stationed to express their surrender.

The refugees don't care about Li Ji's reputation, nor what kind of person he is.

They only knew that when their family was about to starve to death, it was Li Ji who took action and saved their lives.

Therefore, they were willing to entrust their wealth and lives to Li Ji. Even if Li Ji wanted to lead them to do evil, they were willing to comply.

When Li Shimin learned that Li Ji was preparing to unify the Zuoyi Army, not only was he not afraid, but he sent many people to the place where the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion were stationed to help, and helped the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion select warriors and recruit talents.

"Your Highness, His Highness the King of Qin has sent eight thousand people to the guards' station to help them recruit talents."

Xie Shufang, the newly promoted Pingyao County Marquis, reported to Li Ji dumbfounded.

Li Ji put down the book he was reading and asked in astonishment: "How much?"

Li Ji felt that he might be hearing hallucinations.

Xie Shufang smiled bitterly and said: "Eight thousand..."

Li Ji gritted his teeth.

The stubborn Li Shimin no longer behaves as a human being.

There is no lower limit to my shamelessness.

They say they are sending people to help him, but in fact they are sending people to work for him.

It’s just a matter of recruiting soldiers and horses, but it will take 8,000 people?

Eighty people is more than enough.

The subordinate officials of Prince Qi's Mansion can gather eighty people, let alone the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion.

If you have to use people, there are soldiers and horses from Shaanzhou who can drive them.

Is it necessary for Li Shimin to mobilize so many troops and send people to help?

"Send someone to the place where the guards are stationed in the palace and tell the soldiers under King Qin's tent that those who are willing to stay and work under my tent, those with official status, will be promoted to the third level. Those without official status, I will give them official status.

He was also given ten acres of land."

Li Ji gritted his teeth and ordered.

Since Li Shimin dared to send people to attack Qiufeng, don't blame him for leaving them all behind.

Xie Shufang's expression changed slightly and he said: "If this happens, I'm afraid there will be a conflict with His Highness King Qin."

Li Ji glared at Xie Shufang and said angrily: "When he sent people to come to eat and drink, did he ever consider that he would conflict with me?"

Xie Shufang was stunned, smiled bitterly, said nothing, turned around and left the side hall of Luoyang Palace, and went to the place where the guards were stationed to deliver the message.

Not long after Xie Shufang conveyed Li Ji's words to the place where the guards were stationed, Li Shimin got the news and quickly sent people to recall eight thousand troops.

But even so, several people still stayed at the place where the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion were stationed.

Li Ji is generous enough, so some stupid young people don't mind taking the risk of offending Li Shimin and working for Li Ji.

Li Shimin suffered a heavy loss, but he did not make things difficult for those stupid young people. Instead, he generously handed over the recruitment documents of several people to Li Ji's hands.

They were just small people who were blinded by their official positions and land and could not see who could give them a bright future. Li Shimin was not worthy of going to war for them.

From then on, Li Shimin never caused any trouble.

Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Yu Wenshi and escorted the last batch of Yuan Yi arrived in Luoyang City.

Li Shimin ordered all his soldiers to put on yuan robes and embark on the journey.

Before leaving, Li Ji did not go to see him off, but led a group of guards from Prince Qi's Mansion and soldiers from Shaanxi Province to guard outside his granary.

Li Shimin frequently sent people to invite Li Ji, saying that he had important matters to explain, but Li Ji didn't even leave.

Li Shimin led the army and waited in a hidden place outside Luoyang City for most of the day. After Luo Shixin, Shuang Shiluo and other people he sent out to steal food returned empty-handed, Li Shimin could only sigh and led

With the army on their way again.

Li Ji sent fast horses to run between Li Shimin's army and the granary of Luoyang City for two days, and only left the granary after confirming that Li Shimin led the army to completely leave Luoyang City.

Li Shimin left, but Qu Tutong and Yuwen Shiji stayed.

Qu Tutong stayed behind to guard Luoyang and Li Ji.

Yu Wenshiji had no choice but to stay.

However, when Li Ji returned to Luoyang Palace, he did not see Yuwen Shiji.

"Where is Duke Ying?"

In the front hall of Luoyang Palace, Li Ji didn't see Yu Wenshiji next to Qu Tutong, so he couldn't help asking.

Qu Tutong looked strange and hesitated to speak.

Li Ji looked at Qu Tutong suspiciously.

Qu Tutong hesitated again and again, and whispered: "Duke Ying has gone to Fuqing Temple."

"He went to Fuqing Temple..."

Li Ji subconsciously wanted to ask Yu Wenshiji what he was doing at Fuqing Temple, but before he could ask, he found the relevant memory from his predecessor's memory.

His expression also became weird.

Yu Wenshiji went to Fuqing Temple to see his ex-wife.

Yuwen Shiji's ex-wife was Princess Nanyang of the former Sui Dynasty.

After Yu Wenhuaji launched the Jiangdu Revolution, killed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and killed almost all the male members of the former Sui Dynasty royal family, their couple had come to an end.

After Dou Jiande killed Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Shiji abandoned Princess Nanyang and ran to Chang'an to join Li Tang.

After Princess Nanyang was left behind, not only was she not embarrassed by Dou Jiande, but she was treated politely by Dou Jiande.

After Li Shimin conquered Dou Jiande, Yuwen Shiji and Baba ran to Princess Nanyang to remarry. Princess Nanyang angrily rejected Yuwen Shiji's request and escaped into Buddhism.
