Liaozhai: Starting from Inheriting Taoism

Chapter 275
"You mean that brother and Yuanji are going to send troops to ambush me?"

When approaching Chang'an City, Li Shimin received a secret report. Li Yuanji did not keep secrets, and finally leaked the news.

Hearing the reports from his subordinates, Li Shimin still couldn't believe it. If his eldest brother and Yuan Ji wanted to ambush him when he entered the palace, is it true that the royal family has no family?

Looking up to the sky with a long sigh, Li Shimin knew that he had no way out at this time.

"Wuji, be prepared. If he is unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. If you attack first, you will be strong, and then you will suffer. Tell Yaojin and them to sit and prepare. It depends on this time, Xuanling, I am Yuan." Zai has prepared a gift, you will go into the city before us in a while, and deliver the gift, and find out Yuan Zai's attitude by the way, everyone else can talk about it, but Yuan Zai is the only one I am worried about."

In fact, this is the reason why Li Shimin has been so hesitant. He knows Yuanzheng's strength best. If Yuanzheng can't let Yuanzheng stand by, even if he brings a hundred thousand troops into the city, it will be useless.

"Here!"

The two of them knew the importance of the matter after hearing the words, and hurried down to prepare.

After receiving the gift, Fang Xuanling went straight into the city and came to the gate of Yuan Mansion, and it was Sun Hong who opened the door.

"Sun Butler, King Qin of my family is about to enter the city. This time, I specially prepared a gift for Yuan Zai. I also ask Sun Butler to inform you."

Sun Hong looked at Fang Xuanling in front of him, and thought to himself that his master really knew things like a god.

"Master Fang, my master expected that the King of Qin would send someone here, so he specially asked me to wait at the mansion. The master asked me to tell you to go back and tell the King of Qin to postpone entering the city. The master has already gone to the palace to deal with all the reasons. Let the King of Qin Just wait for the news outside the city, as for the gift, leave it to me."

What, Yuan Zai knew he would come, he has already entered the palace, could it be!

Fang Xuanling was startled when he heard the words, "I'm sorry for the housekeeper Sun, Xuanling will go back and tell King Qin."

After handing over the gift to Sun Hong, Fang Xuanling hurriedly turned and headed out of the city.

In the account of King Qin's army.

"You mean that Yuan Zai has already entered the palace, and you want me to postpone entering the city and wait for news?"

Li Shimin was also surprised when he heard Fang Xuanling's report. Could it be that Yuanzai had already guessed that their brothers would kill each other, so he thought of other ways, and went to the palace to talk to his father. Thinking of this, Li Shimin was worried again. Yuanzheng's ability He knew it, but it was about the throne, so he didn't know how it would end?

While everyone was waiting anxiously, Yuan Zheng was playing chess with Li Yuan in the palace.

"It's rare for Yuanzai to go to the city. I'm afraid it's not just to play chess with me. If there is anything, Yuanzai can say that my Li family can take down this huge country, and more than half of the credit should be attributed to Yuanzai. Although Yuanzai and I They are not brothers but they are better than brothers, Yuan Zai can say it clearly, I will listen."

Looking at Yuan Zai in front of him, Li Yuan sighed in his heart. Yuan Zai served beside Emperor Sui Yang at the beginning. At that time, the Sui Dynasty was already full of holes, but after Yuan Zai joined the Sui Dynasty, the hard-won Sui Dynasty had a Signs of resurrection.

To quell public grievances, resist foreign thieves, appoint talented people, and balance the nobles of the family. At that time, he would have thought that the Sui Dynasty would be stable again.

Yuan Zai set up a Sui strategy for 30 years at the beginning, and then he went out on business. As long as Yang Guang can follow the Sui strategy step by step, the Sui Dynasty will be stronger. The job was done in three years.

The result was a hot pot burning oil, and the Sui Dynasty was boiling. When Yuan Zai appeared again, Yang Guang had already been driven to Jiangdu. Looking at this scene of people's desperation, Yuan Zai finally gave up on Yang Guang and lived in seclusion in the mountains. .

It wasn't until he found out about Yuan Zai that he visited the thatched cottage before inviting Yuan Zai down. From then on, he obeyed Yuan Zai's words, and he went all the way out of Jinyang to rule the world. Until today, in the great Tang Dynasty, he was actually following Yuan Zai's advice. The plan was carried out step by step without mistakes or omissions.

He knew from the beginning to the end that Yuan Zai didn't have the so-called imperial power and wealth in his heart. What he valued was the quality of life of the people. He had no doubt that if one day his Li family could not lead the people to live a good life, Yuan Zai would not hesitate. Therefore, Li Yuan never worried that Yuanzai would usurp power. In Yuanzai's eyes, he could not see the desire for power.

The supremacy that others see as elusive is just a tool in the hands of Yuan Zai, and only he really knows Yuan Zai's methods, and his wisdom and military strategy are enough to surpass the ancient sages.

"I don't know how the emperor thinks of the princes?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's pupils shrank. This was actually the topic he was least willing to talk about, and it was also the question he most wanted to ask Yuan Zai.

Hesitate for a moment.

"Well, Jiancheng is resourceful and has a military strategy, but he is a bit indecisive in his actions, but it's just a little bit wrong. He is more than enough to guard the country, and he is also very decent to be a prince; Yuanji is good at decision but not resourceful. He is ambitious but lacking in ability. Shang Ke, being an emperor is a bit worse, if the throne is given to him, I'm afraid it will be another Yang Guang; Yuanba, what a pity."

After speaking, Li Yuan took a look at Yuanzheng where the old god was present. At this time, he realized that after so many years, he was already very old, but Yuanzheng was still as young as when he first met. A wise man is too partial.

He knew that this was not the answer Yuanzheng wanted to hear. Yuanzheng was optimistic about his second son Shimin from the beginning to the end.

"Shimin, whether it is resourcefulness or martial arts, he is superior to Jiancheng. In these years, he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements. It is not too much to say that the other half of the country was brought down by him. In fact, the position of prince should be It's his fault, but Jiancheng is the eldest son, I believe that as long as I speak up, Jiancheng will not embarrass Shimin and Yuanji."

This is what Li Yuan is really worried about. He is afraid that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will not be able to tolerate Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji after Li Shimin takes office, which will cause the brothers to fight each other. This is something he absolutely does not want to see. Li Jiancheng is not the case, he has confidence Can persuade Li Jiancheng to let go of his two younger brothers.

Yuanzheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, do you know that from the moment your Majesty put King Qin in power, the next Emperor of the Tang Dynasty already has a candidate. If King Qin is ruthlessly killed, the prince can sit back and relax, but the Tang Dynasty will fall into turmoil again, and the other is to establish King Qin as the prince, and even directly pass the throne to him."

what!
Killed King Qin.

This is something Li Yuan has never thought about. Although he prefers Dazi Jiancheng to Li Shimin, his palms and backs are full of meat. How could he be willing to see a piece of meat rotten, and let Tang fall into turmoil again? , I am afraid that Won Jae will not agree.

But he is not willing to establish Li Shimin as the crown prince and pass on the throne directly.

"Has it reached this point?"

Li Yuan never thought that the Tang Dynasty, which had just been established, could not wait for the heir.

Yuan Zheng nodded slowly, "If the emperor can't make up his mind today, the situation of fratricide will be staged tomorrow. At that time, the emperor may not want to see such a scene, and it will also affect the continuation of the country after the Tang Dynasty, so I also ask the emperor to make a decision early."

It was said that Li Yuan had already thought of something extraordinary and was about to call someone, but seeing Yuan Zheng's expression that he was in control of everything, he forcibly resisted the urge to investigate, Yuan Zheng had already entered Gong, the conclusion of the matter has already been decided a long time ago.

"Yuanzai, you really have a problem for me. In fact, I am not that hard to give up the throne. I just want the people of the world to be well. I am afraid that Yuanzai has already made a decision. Please enlighten me. .”

Seeing Li Yuan finally figured it out, Yuanzheng also nodded.

"There is a country named Aolai on the coast of the East China Sea. This country's national fortune is approaching. I intend to let the emperor relocate the country's honor. At that time, the prince will still be the prince. After a hundred years, the emperor will be able to inherit the throne. The prince is lenient, and the third highness will live. Worry-free, the Great Tang will be handed over to the King of Qin, I believe that with the great talent of the King of Qin, the Emperor should be able to rest assured."

You can still come like this!
It was the first time Li Yuan heard that the emperor could be relocated, who is Yuan Zai, who has the ability to influence the change of a country, but thinking of Yuan Zheng's power, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept.

"It's just that the East China Sea is thousands of miles away, how can we get there?"

At this point, Li Yuan has actually agreed. Although he is reluctant to give up the throne and Tang Dynasty, it is a rare opportunity to have the best of both worlds. How can Li Yuan let it go? What's more, in the country of Donghaiaolai, isn't he still the emperor? , is not far behind.

"As long as the emperor is willing, I will arrange the rest naturally."

Seeing that Yuanzheng was ready, Li Yuan felt angry and helpless. Yuanzheng did not enter the palace to discuss matters with him. He was clearly here to send him away. It's a pity that he didn't have the slightest heart to resist from the beginning to the end. He was even a little grateful to Yuan Zheng, fortunately, this kind of people were his own, if they were enemies, they would be killed by Yuan Zheng, so they had to remember Yuan Zheng's goodness.

Thinking of Yang Guang, Li Yuan sighed for a while again, time and fate, the Sui Dynasty was indeed exhausted, and with the help of Yuanzheng, it was completely wiped out, Yang Guang is really an idiot.

"Yuan Jae just make arrangements, I don't know when we will leave, I will prepare now."

Li Yuan has already resigned to his fate, since they are all from his own family anyway, he still has a country for nothing, so why not do it.

"Now."

just now!

Li Yuan, who had just stood up, almost fell to the ground in shock when he heard the words, and leaving now is really not a waste of time.

"Is this a little anxious? There are so many people and so many things, and it takes time to clean up."

"Just right."

The door of the upper study room opened slowly, and a man and a woman walked in.

"Uncle, Master asked us to come here to listen to your orders."

Looking at Yuan Zheng's face that resembled Ye Feng, Meng Yuan and Meng Li were also distracted for a while. If they hadn't just met their master just now, they would have thought that their master was teasing them.

"Yuanzai, this is?"

When Li Yuan saw two people suddenly appearing in the upper study room, he was almost startled and shouted "assassin". Looking at the two again, Li Yuan found that the two of them were really not like ordinary people.

Nodding to the two, Yuanzheng looked at Li Yuan and said, "This is the person who came to pick up the emperor to take up his post. The emperor will order the prince and others to come here. After a quarter of an hour, you should set off." , As for the supplies, the emperor should just make a list, and they will bring them together for the emperor."

After looking at Yuan Zheng and then at Meng Yuan and Meng Li, Li Yuan suddenly had a bold guess, "Yuan Zai, could it be that he is a fairy?"

Smiling and shaking his head, "In the world, there are no immortals, the emperor will make an order."

Seeing Yuanzheng acting like this, Li Yuan strengthened his inner guess. Apart from being horrified, he also had no thought of procrastinating at all.

With a decree, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, those harem concubines, and most of the royal party princelings in the court were brought to the study room in a daze.

"Father, what is this?"

Seeing such a pair of people gathered in the study room, Li Jiancheng was a little confused.

Glancing at everyone, "Yuanzai found a new place for us, and we left after a while."

New place to go!leave!

Everyone suddenly had a bad feeling, but after a while of dizziness, everyone in the study room disappeared.

Yuanzheng closed the book and handed it to Meng Yuan, "You take them to Aolai Country, just open the book again, and I will leave the rest to you."

Looking at Yuanzheng's methods, Meng Yuan and Meng Li also clicked their tongues secretly. Such methods are probably similar to their own master's, no wonder they can be their own uncles.

Looking at each other, the two nodded together.

"Disciple obeys."

The two left on the cloud again, and Yuan Zheng came to the hall with a scroll of imperial decree left by Li Yuan.

"Go to Xuanwen, Wubaiguan and King Qin to enter the palace."

The old eunuch knew Yuanzheng well, and when he saw him talking, he didn't dare to say much, so he went straight down to do so. After receiving the order, all the officials in the city hurried into the palace. Outside Chang'an City, Qin Wang Li Shimin also got the news not long after.

"King Qin, Yuan Zai asked me to invite you into the palace."

Won Jae!

Glancing at the people in the hall, Li Shimin hesitated, he was afraid that this was Li Jiancheng's trick.

"Yuan Zai said, King Qin can rest assured, no one in the Great Tang Dynasty dares to fake his reputation to deceive others."

After speaking, the old eunuch left the big tent directly.

Li Shimin tasted the old eunuch's words carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

"My lord, why don't you bring eight hundred guards and us into the palace together, be prepared, even if there is a fraud, you can come out."

Li Shimin also nodded when he heard the words. The 8000 guards under his command can defeat [-] people, and it is not enough to seize the city. It is still possible to protect him.

"Okay, let's do it like this, do it as soon as possible, and we'll set off."

Walking all the way to the meeting hall, there was really no accident. After entering the main hall, Li Shimin realized that all the civil and military officials had arrived, but there was no Li Yuan on the dragon chair, only Yuan Zheng was standing on the stage.

"King Qin!"

At this time, most of the civil and military officials in the hall were from Qin Li Shimin, and they greeted Li Shimin warmly when they saw him.

"Yuanzai, this is?"

Li Shimin looked at Yuan Zheng a little puzzled.

Yuanzheng ignored him, but unfolded the imperial decree, "Listen to the decree, everyone."

Seeing that Yuanzheng was holding an imperial decree in his hand, all the officials hurriedly knelt down.

"My minister listens to the order."

Li Shimin and others also knelt down to listen to the order.

"Following the heavens, Emperor Zhao said: Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has both civil and military skills, and has the qualifications of the emperor. He will be the emperor from today, and he will be enthroned on a certain day. This is my honor."

what!
what!
what!
All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. Although this was the result they dreamed of, it was too simple. They couldn't believe it.
