In fact, Li Shimin is not just watching the excitement... although it is quite beautiful.
It was difficult for Li Shimin to judge the situation in Mayi, and he was also very worried about Li Shan's life and death, but he was also surprised by Princess Pingyang's anger today.
Maybe he was muttering about Huairen's influence on Princess Pingyang... Li Shimin was thinking in his heart that since the farce of Luo Yi's personal guards attacking the imperial city that day, Princess Pingyang has taken full control of the Beiya Imperial Army.
Now in Chang'an City, there are no nominal troops stationed in Tiance Mansion. They are just the bodyguards and entourage of Li Shimin and his generals. The total number does not exceed a thousand people. The Changlin Army on the East Palace side once received support from Luo Yi, but was
After Li Yuan reprimanded him, the number of people was around 3,000.
The Beiya Forbidden Army is divided into four armies, with each army having about 2,000 people. They are on duty in turns. They are overwhelming against both Tiance Mansion and the East Palace.
"Erlang?" Li Yuan really couldn't stand it anymore.
In the past, the two sons were fighting, but now it's better. The daughter also joined the battle, and her words were sharper than Erlang... The prince was speechless.
Of course, facing General Li Shimin, the emperor, Li Yuan, the emperor, and Li Jiancheng, the prince of the East Palace, basically stand on the same position.
But Princess Pingyang was different. She had a high prestige in the army, was favored by Li Yuan, and was not involved in any affairs... After all, Wu Zetian was just born, so Li Jiancheng really couldn't do anything if they started to fight.
Seeing the sharp gaze of Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin laughed twice and said, "Huairen has indeed made great contributions to the country. He didn't talk about Shandong's plan to capture and kill Liu Heitao. He didn't talk about the weak enemy that put Yuan Junzhang in a desperate situation. He only talked about the horse market.
The DPRK relies heavily on its strength, so it would be unjustifiable if we were trapped in Mayi..."
"Father, why don't you ask the King of Huaiyang to send scouts to investigate?"
"Besides, there are people from Cui She."
It was fine not to talk about Cui Xin, but when Cui Xin was mentioned, Princess Pingyang became angry and raised her voice: "If he were not from Cui She, why would Huairen go to Mayi in person? Doesn't his father know that the Turks hate him to the core?"
"You should know that the Turks deeply hate Huairen. It is a matter of state, and personal hatred should be discarded!"
Li Yuan was also speechless, "This...Pei Hongda suggested that he should send his close ministers to appease..."
Li Shimin had already put the things together. The old fox Pei Shiju probably did it on purpose. As long as Cui Xin went to Mayi, Li Shan would go to Mayi even if it was not for public reasons but for private reasons. It seemed that he was advising Cui Xin, but in fact
Point directly at Li Shan.
What's more, Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu accused Liu Shirang of treason...it happened after Cui Xin left Beijing and went north. Is it a coincidence?
Various thoughts were swirling in his mind. Li Shimin glanced sideways. Princess Pingyang's lips were slightly opened, but she hesitated for a moment but did not say anything... Well, the third sister must be an insider, and she also saw Pei Shiju's sinister intentions.
.
The situation had reached this point, and Princess Pingyang certainly saw it. Although she didn't know the details, she was certain that Pei Shiju must have taken action.
"Father, my daughter is not feeling well today, please..."
"Then go back and rest." Li Yuan hurriedly urged his daughter to get off work. He also knew that his daughter wanted to go back and wait for news. Every letter from Li Shan was first delivered to Princess Pingyang's mansion and then transferred to the palace.
.
Looking at the back of his daughter leaving sadly, Li Yuan sighed. Since the Turks have arrived in Mayi, the recruitment will inevitably fail. Cui Xin may also be detained by the Turks. There will be a chance in the future, but Li Shan... I heard Li Daoxuan mention it,
Yu Gushe was tortured so much by Li Shan that she hated him to the core.
Li Yuan was also heartbroken that Li Shan might be trapped in Mayi... Although this minister was young, he was very popular with him. He really regarded him as his nephew. It was a pity, a pity.
Tsk tsk, Li Shan still thinks... I'm really not good at flattery!
But for an emperor, it was regrettable that a future pillar of talent suddenly suffered a misfortune, but it was not a big deal. Li Yuan turned to ask about the affairs of Yanmen Pass. Mayi was not in charge, and the Turks would definitely use Mayi to attack Hedong next year.
"With the presence of Uncle Wang of Xiangyi, we can protect Hedong." Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered, "It's been more than half a month since the three Hus were back in Beijing. It's time for Brother Wang of Huaiyang to return to Beijing too, right?"
Li Shimin was wary. King Li Shenfu of Xiangyi had never been involved in the matter of seizing his direct descendants and had never been biased. However, his brother Li Shentong, King of Huai'an, was attached to the Qin Palace. Could it be that the prince intended to win over Li Shenfu?
Li Shimin immediately remembered that Li Gaoqian had previously sued Liu Shirang, and Li Shenfu was named. Could there be other secrets in the process?
Li Yuan's eyes swept across the faces of his two sons, and he nodded: "It's already late November, and it will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days. It's time for Daoxuan to return to Beijing... As for Yanmen Pass..."
Daizhou is the gateway to Hedong, and Yanmen Pass is the gateway to Daizhou. It has always been heavily guarded by generals. Li Daen, Liu Shirang, and Li Gaoqian were all famous before. Now Li Daoxuan guards Yanmen Pass. If he returns to Beijing, who will take on the important task?
Previously, Li Dayen was a county prince and the governor of the state. Liu Shirang was entrusted with the imperial command to conquer Mayi. Li Gaoqian was a county prince and led the Twelve Guards generals... Except for Li Daoxuan in Hedong Road, those who could compare with him were Li Daoxuan.
Only Li Shenfu is left.
However, Li Shenfu originally led the marching commander of Hedong Road and merged with the prefectural commander, so it is unlikely that he would personally garrison Yanmen Pass.
"In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the Turks will not invade, and the situation in Mayi has not yet been determined. Let the Huaiyang King's brother guard Yanmen first." Li Shimin advised: "Huairen planned to use trade routes to move a large number of people from Shuozhou and Yunzhou.
, making Yuan Junzhang like a fish without water..."
After a pause, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan and said, "Father, the Turks will invade in large numbers, at least in late May or early June next year. It may be possible to seize Mayi."
Li Yuan pondered for a long time before nodding and saying: "Let's wait until things become clear. After all, Pingyang..."
Li Jiancheng had nothing to say. After all, there was no news from Li Shan. At this time, Li Daoxuan, who was most likely to support and defend Li Shan, was recalled to the capital... Princess Pingyang was probably going to go crazy.
Li Shimin thought about the same thing, but it was useless. If there is no news about Li Daoxuan now, then there has been no news for ten days... If the Turks invaded, blocked the recruitment, imprisoned Cui Xin, and beheaded Li Shan, the matter would have been settled long ago.
It’s settled.
Li Shimin felt something strange in his heart, and also had a glimmer of hope in his heart... There must be changes in this matter.
If there are variables, then Li Daoxuan cannot be allowed to leave Yanmen Pass at this time. If Yanmen Pass falls into the hands of Li Shenfu, things may get out of control.
Hedong is where the royal family of Li Tang Dynasty started, and the status of Bingzhou Governor may be the pinnacle of the state capital level. Li Shimin never wanted to see Li Shenfu, who was also the Marching Commander of Hedong Road, join the East Palace.
He thought in his heart that if Li Huairen could stir up trouble in such a situation, he would not begrudge the reward from the county king.
At this moment, outside the palace, on Chengtianmen Street, Princess Pingyang, who was holding a horse, looked indifferently at the two prime ministers who were talking in front of her.
One is Shangshu Zuopushe Pei Ji.
The other one is Pei Shiju, the provincial servant under the sect.
