Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 45 Tiger Might
After talking for a long time, his wife's tenderness and encouragement helped Li Shimin regain his strength. Although Princess Qin respects her elders and has a good relationship with her sister-in-law, she knows that her husband is her only support.

Many years ago, after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he demoted Li Yuan far away, and the latter had no choice but to leave Li Shimin and his wife to sit in Taiyuan, and Princess Qin presided over the government of the Tang Dynasty, which was praised by everyone inside and outside.

"What is your husband thinking about?" Qin Wangfei said softly, "But don't worry about the Hebei generals?"

"The day before yesterday, I received a secret letter from Uncle Wang of Huai'an, and Sanhu held a banquet in honor of Han Liang, Yu Zhining, Yu Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, Li Shiji, Zhang Shigui, and Cheng Mingzhen." Li Shimin said quietly: "Among them, Cheng Mingzhen and Li Shiji have not received any letter so far."

"This is a conspiracy." Qin Wangfei thought about it carefully, and persuaded: "Although Li Shiji followed her husband to attack Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heita, but after all, as Mi Gong's former department, he also made a good deal with Wei Xuan."

In fact, although Li Shiji was under Li Shimin's command in several wars, he never entered the Qin Palace, and he voted for Tang because he was recommended by Prince Xima Wei Zheng, so he was naturally in an embarrassing situation.

Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Qin Wangfei persuaded again: "Your Highness knows all about Cheng Mingzhen, how can you blame him?"

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Just now, instead of thinking about the people in Hebei, I was actually thinking about King Lanling."

Qin Wangfei's face changed slightly, and she said with a smile: "Speaking of which, King Lanling is still uncle's brother."

"Back then, I heard the story of King Lanling from Duke Gao, so I had the music of King Qin breaking the formation." Li Shimin's eyes flickered, "Such a character, such a character..."

The King of Lanling is Gao Changgong, the famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. His ancestor is the famous Gao Huan, and his father is the unlucky Gao Cheng who died before usurping the throne.

Gao Changgong may be the most outstanding general in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but his most famous mask is nothing more than his mask.

During the Battle of Mangshan, the Zhou army encircled Luoyang. Gao Changgong led [-] horsemen to help him. When he arrived at the city, no one knew him. Gao Changgong took off his mask.

It was in that battle that Gao Changgong's reputation was greatly shaken, and the soldiers sang "The Song of the King of Lanling Entering the Battle".

Li Shimin and Gao Changgong have too many similarities, both belong to the clan, and they are also young leaders.

One has "The Song of Lanling King Entering the Battle", and the other has "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle".

Even both of them are officials in Shangshuling.

Gao Chang Gonggong Gao Zhenzhu, suffered from jealousy, took bribes to defile himself, and refused to delay medical treatment when he was sick, but even so, he was given poisoned wine and died in the end.

Li Shimin couldn't accept such an ending, or in other words, if the ending was one death, kneeling and being beheaded, he would rather stand and fight with the blades.

Qin Wangfei said in a low voice: "Tomorrow my concubine will visit my father-in-law, Dalang is still young..."

If King Qin's family were kicked out of the palace, it would almost cut off the possibility of ascending the throne...at least it would be impossible to succeed the throne normally.

Li Shimin didn't say a word, he still had expectations in his heart that he didn't even believe in... After all, there was a successful case before him.

Yang Guang also made meritorious deeds, and after a few years of forbearance, he replaced the prince Yang Yong.

"Forget it, Hebei is up to Sanhu." Li Shimin snorted, "Tomorrow, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Zhijie and others will be called back to Beijing. Cheng Mingzhen...Cheng Mingzhen, let him go."

In Li Shimin's conquest of Hebei, in addition to destroying Liu Heita, he made great efforts to win over the heroes of Hebei, the leader of which was Cheng Mingzhen, who was once a general under Dou Jiande's command.

But Li Shimin could not accuse Cheng Mingzhen of possible estrangement, because both his parents died at the hands of Liu Heita, and Liu Heita fled north to the grasslands, Li Shimin did not allow Cheng Mingzhen to pursue revenge.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing."

Li Shimin laughed and said: "At this time, I don't call my husband, but Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Brother...brother is really narrow-minded." Princess Qin sighed: "My uncle asked about Li Shan's father's ancestral name, but he kept silent, obviously he had something to hide, but elder brother used this to force him."

Li Shimin was silent for a while, "The Guanyin servant girl is too demanding."

Li Shan's rumors and rumors are nothing more than trying to use the tiger's skin as a banner to force back possible threats with Li Shimin... This is the idea of ​​Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin.

And Changsun Wuji put the rumors on Li Shan's head to arouse Li Shimin's anger, which is exactly the same as Li Shan's method.

At least in Princess Qin's eyes, it's the same, they all want to use Li Shimin as a gunman.

"Li Shan's life experience was bumpy and he was in a dangerous situation, so there is nothing wrong with using these methods." Qin Wangfei said in a low voice: "But my brother is only out for personal enmity, and he almost wants to trap His Highness in injustice."

"That young man is quite resourceful, he has a close relationship with the Li family in Longxi, and he has a good relationship with Wang Renbiao, the son of my aunt, and was recommended by Xuanling and Keming."

"If it's at the hands of my elder brother, will Yingjie still be willing to be recruited by His Highness in the future?"

It is not too much to describe Changsun Wuji with the word "Jia Zi must be repaid". This is also the reason why Changsun Wuji was always high in the Zhenguan Dynasty in history but could not participate in the government.

"Born in a rough life, are you in a dangerous situation?" Li Shimin asked with a smile, "What does Guanyin Maid know?"

"This matter is about to be reported to His Highness." Qin Wangfei was only in her early twenties, and said with a charming smile: "I heard this matter from my third cousin yesterday."

"Guest teacher?"

"Well, it should be reported by her husband Li Keshi in private." Princess Qin said in a low voice: "Li Shan is the son of Li Dewu."

"Li Dewu?" Li Shimin looked blankly, "Is it Longxi Li or Zhaojun Li?"

"Last November, Pei Shiju's daughter..."

"Oh, reunion after a broken mirror." Li Shimin suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder!"

"Li Dewu abandoned his wife and son, and Li Shan took care of his mother and temporarily lived in Dongshan Temple."

"So I kept my mouth shut that day." Li Shimin nodded and said, "But such rumors have been released these two days?"

"That was done by Li Kai, the fourth son of Li Keshi. I'm afraid Li Keshi will also contribute to the flames. After all, Xuanling and Keming were recommended by His Royal Highness." Qin Wangfei sighed: "If you enter Qin Palace, Your Highness..."

"Pei's family is dual-faced, Pei Ji has the trust of his father and emperor, Pei Shiju and the prince Zhanshi..." Li Shimin frowned.

"That's why Li Shanjian refused this matter, so he revealed his life experience." Qin Wangfei sighed: "Master Li knows the inside story, and the third cousin just entered the palace in a hurry yesterday."

Li Shimin got up and paced back and forth a few times, thinking in his heart that the Pei family in Hedong is a prominent family, but so far no one has entered the Qin Palace.

You must know that members of the other five surnames and seven families, as well as the second-class Jingzhao Weidu, all had people from their clans to vote...but Pei's did not.

Pei Ji secretly leaned towards the East Palace in the government affairs, Pei Shiju even served in the East Palace, and Pei Longqian served as the prince's left guard.

"Such a hero is not yet in the bag, His Highness has the ambition to clarify the world..."

"Guanyin's servant girl thinks highly of this person. Could it be that she wants to recruit a son-in-law?"

"My husband's words are too frivolous." Qin Wangfei glanced sideways, "I just feel sorry for this young man who has a lot of talent and learning, and besides, isn't my husband also fancying the young man of the Xiao family?"

Li Shimin pretended to apologize, but he was thinking in his heart that Li Shan seemed insignificant, but he was a pawn of some weight.

"Forget it, Gu will use Huwei to use it with him."

Li Shan's plan has basically been fragmented, but he accidentally caught the skirt of the goddess of luck.

Qin Wang and his wife just took a fancy to Li Shan's identity, this is a young man who may be able to influence the Pei family, at least judge the political position of the Pei family.
