Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2489 The Second Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 2485: The Second Xuanwu Gate Incident

Jiang Shang soon met Li Shimin as he wished, and as soon as Li Shimin saw Jiang Shang, he grabbed Jiang Shang's hands, and his attitude was so enthusiastic.

"Mr. Jiang, you are finally here. Mr. Shimin has been looking forward to it for a long time."

Seeing this, Jiang Shang couldn't help being shaken in his heart. After all, if Li Shimin really had the will to die, he should lie down completely, at least it shouldn't be this attitude.

But this is also good, he took the risk to intervene in the battle between Qin and Tang, and even offended Da Qin, not to save Li Tang, but to save the entire Taoist school by saving Li Shimin's life.

If Li Shimin really had the will to die, then Jiang Shang would not be able to save him, only if the other party had a chance to be saved.

After overturning Li Shimin's assumption of death, Jiang Shang began to observe Li Shimin seriously.

Li Shimin's current state is very bad, his face is pale, his breath is weak, his eyes are covered with dark circles, and his eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, and his whole body is full of old spirit.

Is this still the Li Shimin he knew?
Jiang Shang was shocked by this in his heart, but he also knew that the other party must have suffered a major blow, otherwise he would never have become such a ghost when he was in good health.

Even if this kind of situation is not a desire to die, it is obviously not far from wanting to die.

Jiang Shang sighed slightly in his heart, but still asked: "Please also tell Mr. Tang truthfully what happened in Chang'an."

"This one……"

Li Shimin showed embarrassment, he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say anything useful.

Seeing this, Jiang Shang pretended to be angry and said, "Don't even want to tell me what happened, so how can I help you?"

"Ugh……"

Li Shimin sighed deeply, and immediately defeated Haojing. After fleeing back for a while, Chang'an fell into riots again, and the news that the whole city's family was massacred, he told Jiang Shang from his own perspective.

In Li Shimin's narration, the disastrous defeat in Haojing was caused by his carelessness, and the tragedy in Chang'an had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Shang's expression became worse the more he heard it. When he heard that the Yang family was exterminated because of this, he stood up excitedly and yelled at Li Shimin.

The Hongnong Yang family, four generations and three fathers, did not support their disciple Yang Guang, but supported Li Shimin, who has a foreign surname, but in the end they ended up being exterminated by the Tang army.

Jiang Shang finally understood why Li Shimin didn't dare to tell the truth. If Yang Jian of Baling knew the news, how could he not resist?

Faced with Jiang Shang's scolding, Li Shimin could only shift the responsibility to Daqin, and supported all kinds of doubts about the destruction of the Yang family.

Regarding this, Jiang Shang didn't know what to say. When did Li Shimin become so naive?

Even if people from Daqin might have been responsible for the massacre of the Yang family, but you can’t produce any evidence, secondly, it was indeed Li Tang’s people who did it, and thirdly, the way it was dealt with afterwards was too chilling. .

It's already done like this, do you, Li Shimin, still feel that you have no responsibility, and do you still want to keep Yang Jian?

Impossible.

Jiang Shang suppressed the anger in his heart. If it was according to his temper when he was young, he would definitely ignore Li Shimin and cut him with his sword without saying a word, but now that he is old, he has too many worries in his heart.

For the sake of Taoism and Yuqing, he could only endure it.

Seeing that Jiang Shang's face was cloudy and uncertain, he remained silent for a long time, as if he was really thinking about something, after waiting for a long time, Li Shimin asked, "Sir, is there a clever plan to help me get out of this predicament?"

Jiang Shang opened his eyes, looked at Li Shimin, and finally let out a long and helpless sigh.

He really wanted to say that he has nothing to do. What you are facing now is the desperate situation of ten deaths and no life, so you should quickly abandon the city and run away, so that you can still save your life. I'm fine.

But Jiang Shang did not say these words after all, because he knew that Li Shimin would never give up Chang'an.

"Mr. Tang, please tell me more about the details of the Chang'an tragedy. There are many problems and something is wrong." Jiang Shang said.

Li Shimin was startled, and immediately said: "What else do you want to know, sir?"

"for example……"

The two chatted for two full hours.

Li Shimin not only told Jiang Shang what he knew, but also handed over all the relevant files and information that were recorded to Jiang Shang.

After Jiang Shang understood it, he found that there were many unreasonable things in it, and he also came to a conclusion in his heart, that is, Chang'an may have been infiltrated into a sieve.

In the Chang'an tragedy, there were too many unreasonable things and coincidences.

For example: Why did Zhang Shigui and Yang Xiu disappear as soon as Li Maozhen left?
Why did Li Kui's wife have a miscarriage by coincidence and die as soon as Li Kui's father-in-law was wiped out?And Li Kui became seriously ill because of this?

why...

There are really too many coincidences, if one or two are fine, but if so many coincidences come together, it is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence, but the only possibility is deliberate.

But Li Shimin is such a smart person, even if the authorities are obsessed, he will not be so dull.

Then there is only one possibility, there must be important ministers around him who are deceiving him.

As for who this person is, Jiang Shang estimated that it was among Li Kui, Li Si, and Li Chunfeng, because after Li Shimin led the army to leave Chang'an, the three of them were ministers in charge of staying in Chang'an.

Li Kui is still in a coma and can be ruled out directly.

Then Li Chunfeng, who issued the massacre order, and Li Si, who targeted Li Kui, would only be one of them, or both of them.

Jiang Shang is worthy of being a wise man with an IQ of 103. Li Shimin, with an IQ of 100, couldn't find the problem after many days of hard thinking. He not only saw the essence of it at a glance, but also narrowed down the scope of candidates to two people.

As for whether it is Li Si or Li Chunfeng, Jiang Shang is still not sure for the time being. After all, he doesn't know the two of them well, and the information he knows is still somewhat one-sided.

The conclusion that Chang'an has been infiltrated into a sieve?It is not difficult to guess from Li Shimin's actions after his return. After all, even the Yang family Li Shimin failed to uphold justice, and other Tang generals will inevitably die because of this.

If it is said that the rebellion of the previous aristocratic family was caused by Li Si's deliberate disturbance, and it was difficult to distinguish loyalty from traitors, then now under Li Shimin's series of disappointing actions, Li Tang's generals are now truly difficult to distinguish loyalty from traitors.

Even Jiang Shang only knew that there might be a problem with one of Li Si and Li Chunfeng. As for the other generals, he couldn't tell the difference for the time being.

From an optimistic point of view, maybe only a few generals rebelled, but from a pessimistic point of view, Jiang Shang felt that he had to abandon the city and flee as soon as possible.

He found that it was too difficult to save Li Shimin's life. If he was not careful, he might be included in it too.

After Jiang Shang shared his analysis with Li Shimin, Li Shimin's first reaction was that it was impossible.

"Someone between Li Si and Li Chunfeng is a traitor? Impossible, absolutely impossible. They are all members of the Li family and my blood relatives. How could they betray me?"

"Qin Hai is still Ying Hao's cousin, and Da Qin is the most powerful in the world. Didn't he also betray Ying Hao?"

"..."

Li Shimin was speechless immediately.

He and Li Si and Li Chunfeng are only distant relatives, and the blood relationship is very weak, and they are about to be out of five clothes.

And Ying Hao and Qin Hai are close relatives, and the blood relationship is still within five years, but Qin Hai has not betrayed Ying Hao, or is still in the situation of the princes and overlords in the Great Qin Dynasty.

Now that Li Tang is about to perish, and the trees are falling and the monkeys are scattered, why is it impossible for Li Si and Li Chunfeng to betray?

Li Shimin sat down on the chair with a slumped face, his eyes were closed in pain, and when he opened it again, he lost any emotion, and said coldly: "Li Chunfeng is a great master, and he came into contact with the country alone, if he is a traitor , I’m already dead, so he shouldn’t be.”

Jiang Shang shook his head and said, "But what if his plan is bigger?"

"Bigger?"

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words, and then he took a deep breath.

What could be more important than his life in Guanzhong?
Of course, it is to kill all the Chang'an family and clear up a piece of pure land for the rule of Daqin.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Shimin understood why Ying Hao didn't take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Guanzhong during the First World War, because what he wanted was never just Guanzhong, but a Guanzhong without a family to rule.

You must know that the Kansai family's control over land mergers and other social resources is even more extreme than that of the Hebei family, and it is only second to the Liaodong family.

Daqin has officially established the country, and Ying Hao, facing the problems of the aristocratic family, naturally can no longer kill as before, because he is now the emperor, and he can no longer use the banner of the big man to stand in front of him.

Therefore, in the first Guanzhong War, if Daqin occupied Guanzhong, then the aristocratic family would be the biggest problem Daqin would face.

Fortunately, Li Shimin thought that Ying Hao decided to sign the armistice agreement for the sake of Xiuning and his two nephews. It turned out that there was such a deeper intention behind it.

Now not only did Li Tang solve the big trouble of the Kansai family, but also poured all the dirty water and infamy on Li Shimin, causing him to be cast aside and stigmatized by the world for thousands of years.

Thinking of this moment, Li Shimin's face was full of bitterness, and he said to himself with a miserable face: "Ying Hao, you are really cruel, do you want to take revenge on me for blackmailing you with a child? You did it, you Did it again."

Looking at Li Shimin, who had a disheartened face and kept talking to himself, Jiang Shang hesitated and said, "Mr. Tang, there must be more than one traitor in Chang'an City, and a large number of people have probably been recruited by Daqin.

Now, before the other party makes trouble, it is better to give up the desperate land of Chang'an, flee back to Hanzhong, and find another way out. "

"Escape? You let me escape?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin broke his guard inexplicably, stood up like an angry lion and said angrily: "Ying Hao just wants to see my family betrayed and ruined, if I run away now, wouldn't it be that he has succeeded?

I was planning to leave at first, but now not only will I not leave, but I will stay in Chang'an to kill all these traitors, and let him know the fate of betraying me. "

"This……"

Jiang Shang looked at Li Shimin in disbelief. He had already said what he said. He thought that Li Shimin would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but he did not expect that the other party made up his mind to stay in Chang'an and fight Daqin to the end. .

This is too much stimulation!

Is it?

Jiang Shang suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

His original intention of coming to Chang'an was to save Li Shimin's life, but he didn't expect that because of his intervention, Li Shimin, who was about to leave, would not leave again.

Is this destiny?

Or is he also a part of Li Shimin's death?
Regardless of the former or the latter, the outcome is already doomed. No matter what he does next, Li Shimin will probably die.

As soon as he thought of this, a bitterness flashed in the depths of Jiang Shang's eyes.

He just wants to save Taoism, why is it so difficult, as if the whole world is stopping him!
"Come on."

"Subordinates are here."

"Call Li Yuanba over immediately."

"promise."

"When Yuanba arrives, I will call Li Chunfeng and Li Si to see me."

"promise."

"After the two of them arrived, they immediately ordered the battalion commanders not to step out of the barracks without my order."

"promise."

When Jiang Shang was thinking deeply, Li Shimin issued three orders in a row, and each one contained deep meaning.

Li Yuanba was called because he realized that his current situation was not safe.

Summoning Li Chunfeng and Li Si was naturally to strike first.

If Li Chunfeng is a traitor, even with Li Yuanba who is capable of crowning the world, he is not afraid of Li Chunfeng, a great master.

As for not allowing the soldiers of each battalion to leave the camp, it was to distinguish who turned to Daqin, and those who were restless or stepped out of the barracks must be traitors.

At this moment, Li Shimin seemed to have returned to the past and turned back into the wise and mighty King Tang, but it was too late after all.
