Man Tanghong

Chapter 225
When Li Yuanji arrived at Jiulongtan Mountain, it was already dark.

Yang Miaoyan, who arrived at Jiulongtan Mountain first, has already arranged the houses where the people in the house live, and the guards have also built watchtowers and guarded around.

Before it was completely dark, Li Yuanji observed the environment of Jiulongtan Mountain a little bit.

The scenery of Jiulongtan Mountain is very beautiful, the trees are lush and lush, and the wild flowers are all kinds of eyes, gathered together, making it more pleasing to the eye.

Another waterfall rushed down from the top of the mountain, turning and turning on the mountainside, leaving behind nine clear water pools.

When the waterfall falls into the pool, it will make a roar. People around feel that there is a dragon hidden in every clear water pool. The lake is Jiulongtan.

The manor where Li Yuanji recuperated was built a little far away from the largest pool in Jiulongtan.

Now the foundation has just been laid, and the wood has not yet started, let alone the building.

So I can only temporarily live in a temporary wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

Beside the wooden houses, there is a row of mud houses rammed with loess, with thatched roofs.

That's where the guards and other people in the house lived.

After enjoying the scenery of Jiulongtan Mountain, Li Yuanji entered the residence.

Although the residence has just been built, it is made of dry wood and there is not much moisture, so it feels quite dry.

In order to celebrate the housewarming, Yang Miaoyan took the wives in the house to the kitchen.

Li Yuanji sat on the couch in the main room and stretched long.

When I was in the palace, because I was sick, I couldn't walk around freely, so I was a little bit suffocated.

Now that he is in a place that Li Yuan can't see, he can finally relax and do whatever he wants.

So he felt better physically and mentally.

"Your Highness..."

Li Yuanji stretched several times on the couch without any image, and Ling Jing entered the main room with small steps.

"sit……"

Li Yuanji pointed to the couch not far from him.

Ling Jing knelt on the couch and asked, "I don't know why His Highness summoned the ministers here?"

Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing, and said meaningfully: "I want you to do something for me."

Ling Jing asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

What is worthy of Li Yuanji calling him from Chang'an City to this barren place to explain?
Ling Jing was puzzled.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I want you to help me buy Chang He."

Ling Jing was taken aback for a moment, then hesitantly said: "What is that often?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "A general guarding Liangzhou."

Ling Jing thought about it: "What did His Highness bribe him for?"

A general who is out guarding and has no reputation deserves to be treated like this by Li Yuanji?
Li Yuanji smiled lightly: "Because I want him to be the general on duty at Xuanwumen."

Ling Jing's face changed slightly, and there was a huge wave in his heart.

Li Yuanji wanted to install his own people among the guards in the palace, what was he going to do?
Is this to control the palace, or do you want to do something else?

Ling Jing dared to think, but dared not speak.

Ling Jing changed his face and said: "His Highness just wants that Chang He to be the general on duty of Xuanwu Gate, or want more people to be the generals on duty of more palace gates."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Xuanwu, Anli, Wude, Ganlu, built-in..."

Ling Jing's face changed completely, and he said in surprise: "Your Highness is going to..."

The gates chosen by Li Yuanji are really crucial, they are distributed in four places in the palace, among which Xuanwu, Anli, and Jianjian are in charge of most of the soldiers and horses in the palace, Wudemen is adjacent to the East Palace, and Ganlumen is next to Li Yuan's sleeping hall. Thousands of feet to the west is Li Shimin's Chengqing Palace.

No matter how you look at Li Yuanji's arrangement, it looks like a coup d'état.

The time Ling Jing and Li Yuanji have been together is not too short, and he has some understanding of Li Yuanji. He always thought that Li Yuanji was not interested in that position, but he did not expect that Li Yuanji would give him such a big one all of a sudden. 'surprise'.

When Li Yuanji opened his mouth again, he guessed that Ling Jing would be thinking wildly, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much, I'm just doing it for emergencies, and I don't have too many other thoughts."

Ling Jing didn't believe it.

Once Li Yuanji controls the three gates of Xuanwu, Anli, and Built-in, and then controls the two gates of Wude and Ganlu, it will be too easy for Li Yuanji to do something in the palace.

It was impossible for Li Yuanji not to be greedy for that position.

Ling Jing took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down and said, "Why does Your Highness think so? Why do you want to control these portals to deal with emergencies? Has Your Highness discovered something?"

Li Yuanji said frankly: "I didn't find anything. The reason why I think so is because I don't want to put my life in the hands of others."

While analyzing Li Yuanji's words, Ling Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Highness means that the fight between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin is very likely to develop into a mutiny in the end?
So Your Highness should make some preparations in advance to deal with the changes that will happen later? "

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "My elder brother and my second elder brother are in the same situation, and there is no way to get along. My father can't stop suppressing any one of them, so when they fight endlessly, they will definitely meet each other. "

Ling Jing stared at Li Yuanji and said, "Even so, there is no need for His Highness to send his own people to Xuanwu and the inner two gates. Xuanwu and the inner two gates are stationed by the saint's Yuan Cong. They will only be loyal to the saint and will not Be loyal to someone other than a saint.

Therefore, even if His Highness puts people in, it is difficult to control them, and it is even more difficult to turn them into His Highness's people. "

In Ling Jing's view, Li Yuan treated Yuan Congjun well, and Yuan Congjun had no possibility of betraying Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji's insertion can only affect some people who are interested in pursuing prosperity and wealth, but not others.

In this case, if Li Yuanji wanted to do something, it would be easy for him to leak the news.

So Ling Jing felt that Li Yuanji's move was inappropriate.

Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing and said with a smile: "So I don't need them all to become my people, I just need them to be unable to do anything after some changes in the palace."

Ling Jing frowned slightly and said, "In this case, it's easier."

Ling Jing looked at Li Yuanji, and said again: "But if the news gets out, or if Chang He betrays His Highness, then His Highness will be in trouble."

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Then let you try Chang He."

Ling Jing opened his mouth and tried to persuade him again, but seeing that Li Yuanji didn't change his attitude at all, he could only reluctantly nod his head and said, "Here..."

Li Yuanji smiled in satisfaction, and was about to order someone to prepare a place to live for Ling Jing, when Ling Jing said suddenly: "If your Highness really wants to do something..."

When Ling Jing said this, he paused for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please tell me the truth, so that I can help your Highness plan."

Li Yuanji was slightly taken aback.

Ling Jing has made up his mind to tie him in the same boat.

The kind that lives together and dies together.

Li Yuanji pondered and said, "Why did you say that all of a sudden?"

Ling Jing glanced at Li Yuanji and sighed, "Does Chen have any other choices now?"

He already knew a lot of Li Yuanji's secrets, so he couldn't get away from Li Yuanji anymore.

If he dared to leave Li Yuanji, no matter where he went, Li Yuanji would tear him apart, and the fate of Dou Wei, whom he had been thinking about, would not be good either.

He doesn't care about his life or death, but he does care about Dou Yu's life or death.

Not only he cared, Gao Yaxian also cared, and Cao Dan, who was in the Qin Palace, also cared.

Because both he and Gao Yaxian have received great kindness from Dou Jiande, they cannot ignore Dou Jiande's only orphan.

Also because Cao Dan is Dou Yu's uncle, Cao Dan has no way to stay out of Dou Yu's affairs.

"There really aren't many options."

Through Ling Jing's words, Li Yuanji understood the meaning of Ling Jing's words, and added with emotion, "You and I don't have much choice."

Ling Jing looked at Li Yuanji, and said seriously: "So, can your Highness tell me why you are so anxious to install your own people at various gates in the palace?"

Li Yuanji said frankly: "Because my sister went to war..."

Ling Jing said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, don't you want His Highness Princess Pingyang to know about this?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Not bad."

Ling Jing hesitated and said: "Your Highness just wants to guard against His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Qin, or do you want to intervene in the battle between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin?"

Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing, and said frankly: "If there is a suitable opportunity, I will intervene."

Ling Jing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is it inappropriate for Your Highness to intervene in the battle between His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin?

This matter is of no benefit to His Highness, and His Highness may be targeted by His Highness the Crown Prince and King Qin.

After all, the saint is now in his prime, so if His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin were to compete for the victory, it would only be temporary.

If a sage has the heart, he can repeat it at any time. "

Li Yuan is now free from illness and disaster, and is living a very happy life. It seems that he still has many years to live.

Now that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have decided the outcome, as long as they don't die, they may be turned upside down by Li Yuan at any time.

So Ling Jing didn't think this was a good time to interfere with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's rivalry.

Moreover, Li Yuanji couldn't get any benefit from this matter, and he didn't see any means for Li Yuanji to protect himself after Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were eyeing Li Yuanji together, so he didn't suggest that Li Yuanji take action now.

Li Yuanji knew that Li Yuan could live for a long time, and also knew that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had to share life and death before they could compete for the final winner.

But Li Yuanji has his own considerations and plans.

So when it's time to intervene, you have to intervene, and you can't sit still.

"I just said to intervene when it's time to intervene, not immediately. Are you worried that it's too early?"

Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and asked.

Ling Jing froze for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "That's right, I'm too worried."
