Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The war situation in Hedong took a turn for the worse, and King Qin asked himself to go to war. This quickly calmed the hearts of the people in Chang'an, and everyone began to sing "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation", obviously full of confidence in Li Shimin.

But the atmosphere in the court was a bit strange. After the battle at Tiantai Mountain, most of the officials from the Tiance Mansion entered the court one after another. For this battle, Li Shimin mobilized almost all the heroes under his command. The only ones with high positions were Yu Wenshiji and Xue Yuanchao. Still sitting in the imperial city, this brought the court to a period of balance for a short time.

Li Yuan smiled and said to Princess Pingyang in the Linhu Palace: "Erlang is interested."

After sending Li Shan away, Princess Pingyang went to the palace to pay an audience and emphasized to Li Yuan the importance of the Beiya Imperial Army...obviously she meant something.

A few years ago, the existence of the Beiya Forbidden Army was largely to restrict the Tiance Mansion. Even Li Yuan was worried and acquiesced in the establishment of the Changlin Army in the East Palace. Li Shimin's prestige in the army was really something that Li Yuan was carrying at the time.

But now the situation is different. There is no gap between Li Yuan and Li Shimin anymore. They can be called a loving father and a filial son... Well, they are closer than their previous relationship with Li Jiancheng. There is a reason for this...

Li Yuan was cuckolded by Master Liang, Xue Jieyu was pregnant when she was sent back, Li Shimin was also cuckolded by Feng Lun, and Dao Miaolian was also pregnant in the fifth year of Wude, but she had a miscarriage.

Pity each other!

Therefore, the more important task of the Beiya Imperial Army later was to protect the imperial city, and to protect Li Yuan and Li Shimin... After the incident at Renzhi Palace, Li Shimin moved to Jinchengfang, and the Beiya Imperial Army became the most important force restricting the East Palace. .

Before Li Shimin led his troops to the expedition, he transferred the left and right Qianniu Guard generals Li Keshi and Zhang Cong, but left Wang Junkuo behind, obviously to protect the East Palace and the palace city.

Li Yuan was somewhat pleased with this.

After a pause, Li Yuan said again: "Huairen is also interested."

Princess Pingyang did not say a word, and lowered her head to hide the look on her face. Of course she knew why her father said that... Li Shimin transferred Qu Hong to the Beiya Imperial Army. On the one hand, he was showing his feelings to Li Yuan. After all, Li Shan was on the surface. He is a direct descendant of Li Yuan, and on the other hand, he also shows that he is tolerant.

Li Shimin probably discussed with Li Shan that night before choosing Qu Hong, a candidate who was born in Li Shan and who also served in the Beiya Imperial Army.

According to common sense, it is impossible for the later emperor not to be wary of a general like Li Shan who had achieved outstanding military exploits during the reign of the previous emperor.

Princess Pingyang thought to herself that her father was still worried about whether her second brother would accept Huairen. This was really... she didn't know what her father would think when the truth came out.

Anger and indignation should be necessary, but Huairen has repeatedly made meritorious service to the country, and there are reasons why he has to hide it. After all, Pei Shiju and Li Dewu are attached to the East Palace... My father should be able to understand after being furious.

Well, Chai Shao told his wife these thoughts, but Chai Shao didn't think so himself. He was completely fooling Princess Pingyang.

How can it be so easily forgiven to deceive the monarch? The most important thing is that King Qin and King Wei Si have always concealed the secret connection between the two, which can easily make His Majesty think of other aspects.

The King of Qin already had unparalleled military exploits, and his prestige in the army was not as high as those of the two. However, King Si of Wei rose to prominence in a few years and repeatedly defeated the Turks. He also had many old troops in the army. In addition to famous generals like Su Dingfang, there were also people in charge of the Ling Dynasty. Zhang Zhongjian of the state army.

It can be said that in today's world, when it comes to famous generals, King Qin ranks first, followed by Li Shan and Li Jing. If there hadn't been the Battle of Tiantai Mountain and the Renzhi Palace Incident, King Qin would have been cornered by the East Palace. What would he have done?
By that time, will Li Huairen, who has won the trust of His Majesty and even took turns with Su Dingfang in charge of the imperial palace and controlled the Beiya imperial army, do nothing?
Even if there are two great efforts to save the driver, this kind of thing will definitely become a thorn deep in Li Yuan's heart.

Chai Shao secretly speculated that he could imagine this matter, and so could Li Yuan after knowing the truth. Li Shimin and Li Shan could not have imagined it either.

Li Shimin and Li Shan would not let this relationship be revealed to the world unless there was an emergency. At most, they would explain that they surrendered after seeing the prince's unkindness after the battle at Tiantai Mountain.

"However, Erlang and Huairen are also too worried."

Princess Pingyang was disrupted by Li Yuan's words, "Father?"

Li Yuan suppressed the smile on his face and said, "The elder man is unfilial and makes his father sad. Now Sanhu has been deposed as a commoner. I intend to change the throne."

The use of "father" first, and "me" later shows Li Yuan's sadness, and also shows the determination of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Father is the one who makes the decision." Princess Pingyang paused and couldn't help but whisper: "With regard to going to Sui Renshou Palace, the East Palace delayed sending troops and has a vicious mind. Not only is it unfit to be a monarch, but it is also unfit to be a son of man!"

Li Yuan sighed, "Unless you are in a critical situation, you cannot see your sincerity."

In history, during the Renzhi Palace incident, Li Jiancheng only went to plead guilty to clear himself. However, in this life, Renshou Palace was attacked by Liang Jun. Li Jiancheng chose to sit back and watch, hoping that I and his brother would ascend to heaven together.

At a critical moment, the different choices of the eldest son and the second son made Li Yuan make a choice that was completely different from history. This was a turning point.

"Sichang controlled the Beiya forbidden army and defended the imperial city, but the Changlin army..." Princess Pingyang was a little worried.

"There are still more than a thousand." Li Yuan snorted, "Let's keep it for now. If we are forced to dismantle it, I'm afraid the East Palace will not be able to bear it."

Seeing that his daughter was a little confused, Li Yuan had to explain: "Now Erlang is leading the army and has military power. As long as the East Palace is not irritated, Dalang will not dare to act rashly. Once Erlang returns to Beijing, major events will be decided."

Princess Pingyang is still a little confused, but she feels vaguely unreliable. When the second brother returns to Beijing, the East Palace will never have a chance.

It has to be said that Li Yuan's decision was not wrong. He judged that the prince did not dare to take action. The reason was very simple. If Li Shimin joined the army, even if Changlin's army broke through the Taiji Palace and killed the king and became emperor, it would be useless... As soon as Li Shimin returned to the army Attack, does Li Jiancheng have the power to fight back?
I'm afraid that the gates of Chang'an City will be opened and the Qin King's army will be allowed to enter the city.

To be fair, Li Yuan didn't think that the eldest son would rebel, not because he didn't have the temperament, nor because he didn't have the courage, but because of the huge disparity in strength... Not to mention Chai Shao who was in charge of the imperial city, and who was about to lead three thousand elites back to the capital. Yu Chigong.

But if he forcibly disbands the Changlin Army before the King of Qin returns to the capital, it may lead to a desperate move in the East Palace. The bad thing is that both the jade and the stone will be destroyed... Therefore, Li Yuan chose to endure, and it was already ten years ago. It's already the month, and the Turks should return north to the grassland this month. All I have to do is wait for Erlang to return to Beijing.

Princess Pingyang could not imagine this truth, but Chai Shao could. When his wife informed him about everything that happened in the Linhu Palace today, Chai Shao smiled bitterly. It is understandable for your Majesty to think so, but he ignored Pei Shiju... Also, your Majesty does not know about this. !
