Man Tanghong

Chapter 17 Li Ji Runs Fast
The eldest grandson Guanyin's maidservant has been married to Li Shimin for many years and knows Li Shimin very well. Li Shimin obviously has something to say, "What exactly is Erlang trying to say?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then looked at the eldest grandson Guanyin's servant girl, "Tell me, is Yuan Ji recruiting Ling Jing for self-protection or for that position?"

Li Shimin didn't care at all whether Li Yuanji's recruiting Ling Jing would offend Li Yuan or be punished by Li Yuan, all he cared about was the position.

The eldest grandson Guanyin's maid asked thoughtfully, "What is Ling Jing's virtue?"

Li Shimin recalled it for a while, and said frankly: "Ling Jing is Dou Jiande's counselor, and he is also Dou Jiande's son Jijiu. During the battle of Hulao Pass, he made a conspiracy for Dou Jiande.

Dou Jiande listened to the villain's slander and did not adopt this trick.

If not, it will take some more time for me to defeat Dou Jiande.

After surrendering me, Li Tang, Ling Jing silently raised horses in Xia Mujian, but he always thought about Dou Jiande's orphan in his heart. "

The eldest grandson Guanyin's servant nodded and said: "He is a talent with both ability and virtue."

Although Ling Jing, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, has nostalgia for the old master, it is not a good thing for Datang.

But after Dou Jiande fell into trouble, Ling Jingneng was still thinking about Dou Jiande's orphan.

It can be seen that Ling Jing is a loyal person.

As long as you are faithful, you deserve to be praised.

Li Shimin said bluntly: "I also had the idea of ​​​​soliciting Ling Jing, but after Liu Heitai turned against him, my father hated Dou Jiande's old department deeply.

In order to avoid being rejected by my father, I had no choice but to give up. "

Changsun Guanyin's maidservant pondered and said: "Yuan Ji first cleared the Hall of Martial Virtue, and then recruited Ling Jing at the risk of being rejected by his father.

To say that he misses that position, because of Ling Jing, he was rejected by his father, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Speaking of his self-protection, Datang has countless talents worthy of his recruitment, and he has no need to recruit Ling Jing. "

Although Li Tang's throne should nominally be inherited by Prince Li Jiancheng, the final decision-making power rests with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's attitude is the key to who can be the emperor.

If Li Yuanji really cared about that position, and offended Li Yuan in order to attract Ling Jing, it would obviously be a small loss.

The eldest grandson Guanyin's servant girl looked at Li Shimin and said, "Whether Yuan Ji is for self-protection or for that position, I can't tell. But Erlang should already have the answer in his heart?"

Li Shimin nodded, then shook his head again.

Under the suspicious eyes of the eldest grandson Guanyin's servant girl, Li Shimin sighed, "Pei Ji has done a lot of harm..."

Changsun Guanyin's maid asked in confusion, "Where did Erlang start talking about this?"

Li Shimin sighed: "Father was angry when he beat me up in Liangyi Hall before. Pei Ji saw this, and deliberately told his father that Yuan Ji was brave and resourceful, implying that Yuan Ji could take on great responsibilities.

Father should be motivated.

Yuan Ji should have seen his father's intentions, but he couldn't get out of his father's palm, so he could only recruit talented people in order to protect himself. "

The eldest grandson Avalokitesvara knew Li Shimin very well, she couldn't help but said: "As long as Yuan Ji closes the house, he will never ask about world affairs. You and the crown prince should be able to accommodate Yuan Ji to be a prince of peace, right?"

Li Shimin smiled wryly and said: "The problem lies in what Pei Ji said. He praised Yuan Ji for being brave and resourceful. Even if Yuan Ji stays behind closed doors, if my father can't hold me down, he will force him out of the house.

Even if he ignores his father, with Pei Ji's words, even if I know that he was tricked by Pei Ji, I will still be on guard against him, and the prince will be on guard against him. "

Speaking of this, Li Shimin said in a low tone: "Once the crown prince and I fight to a critical juncture, in order to prevent Yuan Ji from reaping the benefits, we will join hands to get rid of him first."

Li Shimin didn't hide his intention to be on guard against Li Yuanji, and his words were ruthless.

Li Shimin has been on horseback for many years, and he knows the way to fight the enemy. He can't take chances, let alone be soft-hearted.

Better kill the wrong one than let it go.

If you soften your heart for a moment, it is very likely that you will be sent to the guillotine.

The eldest grandson Guanyin's maidservant said with an ugly face: "Pei Ji is really harmful..."

A simple sentence pushed Li Yuanji into the depths of the vortex and made an enemy for Li Shimin.

Changsun Guanyin's servant girl looked at Li Shimin and said, "So it doesn't matter whether Yuan Ji cares about that position or not. It doesn't matter what deep meaning he has in recruiting Ling Jing. He is destined to be your enemy."

Li Shimin was silent for a while, and said: "Not necessarily. The war in Hebei is very unfavorable, Li Shiji has already been defeated, and Uncle Wang of Huai'an is also in danger.

I have a hunch that the day of my expedition is not far away.

As long as my father is willing to fulfill his promise, he will make me the prince.

I will try to find out whether Yuan Ji is thinking about that position, or whether he is trying to protect himself.

If I miss that position, I will take action to clean him up and drive him to seal the country.

If it's for self-preservation, I'll make him feel at ease. "

In Li Shimin's heart, Li Jiancheng will always be his biggest opponent, followed by Li Yuan, and then Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji just recruited Ling Jing, and he didn't take it seriously.

Ling Jing's old master, he can rub against the ground, and Ling Jing's new master, he can also rub against the ground.

The difference is that it takes some effort to clean up the former, but it takes little effort to clean up the latter.

The eldest grandson Avalokitesvara was a little confused, Li Shimin talked for a long time, seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to say nothing.

The eldest grandson Guanyin's servant knew Li Shimin well, she knew that Li Shimin would not talk nonsense to her, so she asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

You can't wait quietly for the defeat in the Hebei war, and then lead the army to go out, right?

That's not Li Shimin's style.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "With Yuanji in front, if I recruit Dou Jiande's old subordinates again, even if my father is displeased, he will not say anything. I have been coveting Dou Jiande's wife-in-law Cao Dan for a long time."

Cao Dan is the elder brother of Dou Jiande's wife and a general under Dou Jiande's command.

After Dou Jiande's defeat, Cao Dan, Pei Ju and others led the crowd back to the Tang Dynasty and presented the Eight Seals of Chuanguo.

Cao Dan contributed to the Eight Seals of the Kingdom, and when Li Yuan killed Dou Jiande, he let him go.

But he and Dou Jiande are relatives, and after Dou Jiande died, his life was not easy.

After Liu Heitai rebelled, he lived like a year.

The official title was demoted again and again by Li Yuan, and now only the status of a county magistrate remains.

Hiding in the mansion all day, terrified all day long.

Li Shimin has seen Cao Dan's ability, and has long been interested in Cao Dan, but because of Li Yuan's attitude, he can only covet him, but cannot recruit him.

Now that Li Yuanji is the leader, Li Shimin doesn't mind taking advantage of this shareholder style to take Cao Dan under his command.

The eldest grandson Guanyin's servant girl couldn't laugh or cry when she heard Li Shimin's words, "You, you, the elder brother, you actually take advantage of the younger brother."

Li Shimin smiled nonchalantly: "In the past, he went out with me and took advantage of me a lot. I took advantage of him once, and that's what I should do."

The eldest grandson Avalokitesvara's servant girl had no temper with Li Shimin, so she simply ignored him.

……

Wude Hall.

Li Yuanji didn't know that one of his two dear brothers was going to weigh him, and the other was going to fish in troubled waters behind him.

After Li Yuanji sent off Ling Jing who had been playing with Dou Hou for half an hour, it was already dark.

The drums from the Drum Tower have sounded over the tee.

There is also a curfew in Chang'an City.

Li Yuanji washed up and prepared to sleep.

Liu Jun hurried into the main hall of Wude Hall.

"Your Highness, everyone is summoned."

Liu Jun didn't care about saluting and yelled.

Li Yuanji saw that Liu Jun was in a hurry, so he knew that he was recruiting Ling Jing. Li Yuan already knew about it, and was planning to punish him.

Li Yuanji went straight to the precious bed, closed his eyes and said, "I'm already asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Jun was so shocked by Li Yuanji's reaction that he couldn't speak.

Can you wait for everyone to be summoned? !

Liu Jun hurriedly urged, "Your Highness, everyone is already angry. If you are late, everyone will kill you!"

Li Yuanji subconsciously wanted to kill as soon as he said it, but before he could say it, he realized it immediately.

He made a mistake, if Li Yuan wanted to kill someone, he would most likely kill someone in his family.

The people in his house have just changed, and he doesn't want to change again.

Li Yuanji got up helplessly, dressed neatly, sat on Baolu and followed Liu Jun to Ganlu Hall.

The Ganlu Hall is in the imperial garden behind the Liangyi Hall.

You can pass through the Ganlu Gate behind the Liangyi Hall, or through the back door of the Wude Hall.

The back door of Wude Hall leads directly to the Imperial Garden.

Liu Jun took Li Yuanji to the back door of Wude Palace.

The second time Li Yuanji saw Li Yuan was at night.

Still can't see the magnificence of Ganlu Hall clearly, only a rough outline.

Li Yuanji got off the Baojiu, went up the steps of the Ganlu Hall, and when he walked all the way to the gate of the Ganlu Hall, he saw Li Yuan standing fiercely in front of the throne with a sword in his hand.

Li Yuanji turned around and left without saying a word.

Li Yuan held the sword in his hand, rushed towards the door with bare feet, and shouted angrily, "Nizi! How dare you run away!"

A group of eunuchs and maidservants were worried that Li Yuan would catch a cold, so they hurriedly chased Li Yuan out.

Li Yuanji ran even faster when he heard Li Yuan's angry shout.

Li Yuan rushed out of the Ganlu Hall, Li Yuanji had already sat on Bao Huan, urging the palace servants who were carrying him to get out of the way quickly.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Li Yuan immediately ordered, "Get that traitor for me!"

It was the first time Li Yuanji heard Li Yuan calling himself "Zhen", and he was majestic.

The Qianniu Beishen and the palace guards in front of Ganlu Hall were captured by Li Yuan's majesty, and rushed towards Li Yuanji ferociously.

Before Li Yuanji's Bao Huan walked ten steps away, the two Qianniu Beishen, who looked familiar to Li Yuanji, had already rushed in front of him.

In Li Yuanji's astonished eyes, the two thousand bulls saluted Li Ji and dragged him towards Li Yuanji.

"Your Highness, offended!"

Li Yuanji flashed, one Qianniu Beishen was thrown out, and the other grabbed him tightly.

Li Yuanji was still struggling, and more Qianniu Beishen had already rushed in front of him, pinning down his limbs.

Li Yuanji looked hopeless and was brought to Li Yuan.

When Qianniu Beishen put him down, he still didn't forget to threaten, "You all wait for me!"

Li Yuan's beard and hair were all stretched out, and he was so angry that he yelled at Li Yuanji, "Nizi! Do you still have me in your eyes?!"
