Man Tanghong

Chapter 152 Li Yuan's Transformation

After Li Yuan broke his promise again and again, Li Shimin could see clearly that Li Yuan had no intention of passing on the crown prince to him at all.

No matter how much Li Yuan promised him, no matter how great he made contributions, in the end, Li Yuan would still break the promise.

So he can no longer put his hope on Li Yuan, he has to find another way, through other means, to take the crown prince from Li Yuan in a logical way.

Without using weapons, the only way he could think of was to fight Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, let Li Jiancheng make mistakes, and force Li Yuan to abolish Li Jiancheng.

As long as Li Yuan abolishes Li Jiancheng, he will be the crown prince.

If he faced Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng alone, he would be under a lot of pressure.

So after learning that Li Yuanji didn't intend to fight with him, he wondered if he could win Li Yuanji over and ask Li Yuanji to help him deal with Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.

With Li Yuanji's help, his pressure would be much less.

"The reason why His Highness expresses kindness to His Highness King Qi is to win His Highness King Qi?"

Changsun Wuji immediately understood Li Shimin's intention to grant Li Yuanji two governorships.

Li Shimin said indifferently: "It's not a win-win, but a temptation."

After all, two governor positions are not enough for his younger brother to stand firmly with him at the risk of losing his head.

We can only test the waters with two governors first to see if Li Yuanji has the possibility of being wooed.

Although Li Shimin's face was calm, his heart was full of emotions.

In the past, he didn't care much about Li Yuanji, but now, Li Yuanji has become the only help he can win over.

Although Li Xiuning, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daozong can also win over.

But Li Xiuning is a daughter's family after all, and Li Yuan will not give her too much power.

So Li Xiuning couldn't be of much help at all.

He also didn't want Li Xiuning to get involved in this kind of thing.

Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daozong can be wooed, but after being wooed, it is useless.

They were close to him, they were close to Li Jiancheng, and they were also close to Li Yuanji.

But there is always only one object of their allegiance, and that is the head of the Li family.

Unless he becomes the head of the Li family, it is impossible for Li Shentong and others to stand firmly behind him.

But after he became the head of the Li family, even if Li Shentong and others stood firmly behind him, it would be meaningless.

Because the head of the Li family is the emperor of Li Tang.

"I used to be able to speculate about His Royal Highness Qi's thoughts, but now I can't figure it out. I heard that His Highness Qi Wang had spoken a lot to His Highness before, and I don't know what His Highness thinks of His Highness Qi now?"

Changsun Wuji murmured.

Ever since Li Yuanji's temperament changed, he acted like an antelope hanging horns, which was unpredictable.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly.

He was not sure now whether what Li Yuanji had said to him before was from his heart, so he couldn't understand Li Yuanji either.

"Since Your Highness can't figure out His Highness King Qi, then we can only test it out first."

Changsun Wuji immediately bowed and resigned, and was going to send people to Weize Pass to test Li Yuanji's attitude.

……

When Changsun Wuji sent people to Weize Pass, Xiao Yu's letter also arrived in Chang'an City.

Li Yuan has been annoyed by Li Shimin's subordinates in recent days, and Li Shimin complained of illness in Luoyang and refused to return to the imperial court as a teacher. This made him realize that he might be too impatient.

But he didn't really want to bow his head to his son, nor did he want to admit his mistakes to his son, nor did he want to compromise his majesty as a father.

Therefore, we can only pin our hopes on Li Yuanji, and hope that after Li Yuanji takes the position of General Zhen Yao, he will lead his troops to Luoyang City and help him urge Li Shimin's class to return to the court.

But after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for the news that Li Yuanji had taken the position of general Zhenyao, but instead he waited for the news that Li Yuanji resisted the order.

Li Yuan was half dead with anger.

Immediately, an order will be issued to cut Li Yuanji's title, household closure, and official positions.

At the critical moment, Li Gang stepped forward and said a word, which made Li Yuan jump in anger.

Li Gang was also not used to Li Yuan, so he asked directly, "Can the saint not tolerate His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Qi Wang?"If you can't tolerate it, just give it to death, why be so aggressive'.

Li Gang's words were very irritating, and Li Yuan jumped to his feet immediately.

Li Yuan thought he was a benevolent father, but how did Li Gang become an evil father?
Can he bear it?
He argued with Li Gang on the spot.

Li Gang said another word, he was so stunned that he had nothing to say.

'If His Royal Highness King Qi also complained of illness at Weize Pass and refused to return the court, would the saint still be considered a benevolent father? '

Li Yuan had only three sons in total, and the two sons lived outside and were unwilling to return to his side, so it wasn't that there was something wrong with the sons, it was that there was something wrong with Li Yuan.

Only a father who is an unkind father, the sons are not willing to return to him.

There are also other voices in the court. Some people think that there is nothing wrong with King Qi and King Qin staying outside. Wouldn't it be beautiful to let King Qi and King Qin go to seal the country and take root?

He was then beaten to death by the crowd.

Because he can't speak his mind.

The two kings of Qin and Qi hold thousands of soldiers and horses, and let them go to the feudal clan. You might as well just tell them, you should rebel, you should separate the regime, and you should enter Chang'an City in the name of the Qing emperor.

Only people with mental problems would say such things when the two kings of Qin and Qi were holding powerful soldiers.

What he can see, others can't?

Why don't others say it, but keep talking about the way of father and son?

It is because others know what the consequences will be if they say such things.

Under Li Gang's 'awakening', Li Yuan withdrew his intention to cut Li Yuanji's title, and changed it to confer first and then cut it.

When the reward was awarded again, there was no mention of General Zhenyao, but Li Yuanji was added as a householder, and Li Yuanji's eldest son was given the title of County King.

Then, on the grounds of Li Yuanji's resistance to the decree, he cut off the county prince of Li Yuanji's eldest son, and ordered Li Yuanji to lead his army to Luoyang City immediately, and return to the court with Li Shimin.

It is reasonable to be rewarded for meritorious service and punished too much.

After dealing with the matter of Li Yuanji's rebellion, Li Yuan also let go of Li Shimin, and secretly revealed to Li Shimin that he had no intention of repenting, but felt that Li Yuanji had made great achievements in this Eastern Expedition and had to be rewarded, so it was unprecedented. Li Yuanji was named General Zhenyao.

After learning that Li Shimin seemed dissatisfied with this, he immediately took it back.

Li Yuan had the cheek to say that Li Yuanji's refusal to accept General Zhenyao's decree was that he took back his fame.

Li Shimin, who knew the whole story, held his nose and admitted it.

When he first learned that Li Yuan had named Li Yuanji General Zhenyao, he was really angry and also a little impulsive.

But as time slowly passed, the anger and impulse in his heart dissipated bit by bit.

He knew very well that if he did something, it would be harmful to the current Datang.

He wants to inherit a unified Tang Dynasty, not a disintegrated Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he cannot fight for the position of prince through too drastic means.

It can only be drawn slowly.

He didn't mean to regret what Li Yuan had revealed, so he pretended not to hear it.

Because after this incident, he has seen Li Yuan clearly, and he has completely given up on Li Yuan.

Not long after Li Yuan bowed his head, Li Shimin's illness healed without any medicine, and he also prepared to return to the court as a teacher.

Li Yuanji, the general manager of the summoned army, led the army to Luoyang City, and the documents for returning to the court were also sent to Weizeguan.

……

However, when the document arrived at Weize Pass, Li Yuanji was still in the mountains.

Even though everything was calm, Li Yuanji still stayed in the mountains without any news.

Li Xiuning was a little anxious and sent people out to look around.

Su Dingfang and the others were also in a hurry, and they also took people out to search around, but after searching, they couldn't find Li Yuanji.

In the end, Sun Simiao took the initiative to invite Ying, and found Li Yuanji, who had become a money fanatic deep in the mountains and forests.

Sun Simiao looked at Li Yuanji, who was dressed in rags, carrying a big leather bag, and carrying two gold nuggets like ginger in his arms, and didn't know what to say.

The state of Yu Wenbao and the others was similar to that of Li Yuanji.

Everything else in the waist, on the back of the body, and in the arms is also yellow and white.

"You stay in the mountains and don't go out, just because of these dumb things?"

Sun Simiao stared at Li Yuanji, questioning with disbelief.

Li Yuanji saw that Sun Simiao seemed to dislike him, and said with a dry smile, "It's fine if you don't see it. If you see it, you don't take it back, and I feel bad."

Sun Simiao gave Li Yuanji a blank look, and said angrily, "You can pick a few baskets of herbs from the mountains, which are more useful than the stuff you brought."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "You are a god, and I am a layman, so they cannot be compared."

Sun Simiao didn't even have a temper with Li Yuanji, "It's calm outside the mountain, and the document calling your teacher back to the court has arrived. Wei Zeguan went crazy looking for you.

You quickly follow me out of the mountain. "

"Is it calm already?"

Li Yuanji didn't know, but Sun Simiao didn't know what happened.

Sun Simiao felt that Li Yuanji underestimated him a little, so he said in a neutral tone: "The document calling your class teacher back to the court was issued by the king of Qin. Do you think this is calm?"

Li Yuanji didn't expect that Sun Simiao knew what happened. It seems that Sun Simiao's nearly seventy years of age is not in vain.

Although he doesn't live in the temple, he is very clear about everything in the temple.

"It's really calm, brothers, take your things, let's go back."

Li Yuanji greeted Yu Wenbao and the others.

Yu Wenbao and the others yelled in response.

It's like a monkey king with a bunch of big monkeys.

This time they entered the mountain, they came here for hunting, and they didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

Many hermits hiding in the mountains and forests were discovered, as well as some bandits hiding in the mountains and forests, and some hermits hiding in the mountains and forests were also discovered.
