Man Tanghong

Chapter 297 Plan ahead
Time flies to the end of the month, the temperature plummets, and it is extremely cold.

The cold frost in the morning will quickly cover the earth before dawn, and will quietly dissipate when the sun rises.

The cold wind blew a mournful chant, which lasted for a whole day, like a ghost's roar, or a devil's howl. After listening to it for a long time, it was creepy.

Especially in the dead of night, it is even more creepy.

For the timid, there is no way to fall asleep alone.

Those who are brave will suffer.

With a white breath in his mouth and a smile on his face, Li Yuanji respectfully sent the three "uncle gate" who occupied his bed, slept and urinated all night, out the door.

In Yang Miaoyan's dumbfounding expression, she stretched long and yawned.

"You just get used to them."

Yang Miaoyan complained angrily.

Li Yuanji glanced at Yang Miaoyan, lazily found a comfortable place to sit down, and said in a neutral tone: "I am their father, I am not spoiled by them, who is spoiled by them?"

Yang Miaoyan didn't know whether to cry, or to laugh, "Then you can't let them occupy your bed every night, right?"

Li Yuanji said weakly: "They ran over pitifully in the middle of the night, saying that they were afraid, so I can't just ignore them, right?"

Yang Miaoyan said with a wry smile: "They have their own bed partner and their own aunt, even if they are afraid, they can't rely on your bed."

Li Yuanji sighed: "Who knows where their bed partner and Auntie went to at night..."

Yang Miaoyan gave Li Yuanji a blank look, "I think you are just used to them."

Li Yuanji lay down on his side without interest, and didn't speak again.

Seeing this, Yang Miaoyan didn't speak again, but grabbed the little panda by the back of the neck that was trying to get under the bed, slipped it out, handed it to the maidservant, and said: "Be careful in the future, don't worry about it." Then let this little bastard get into the bed."

The maid carefully hugged the little panda, and said yes with all her mouth.

Yang Miaoyan took the other maidservants out of the main room of the jingshe, holding the quilt and mat that were soaked in urine.

Li Yuanji stayed in the house alone, thinking wildly.

It has been six days since the blockade of Jiulongtan Mountain was relaxed, and there is no news from the palace, as if it has become a dead place.

Now Li Yuanji is eager to know how far the assassination case has gone, how Li Jiancheng raised private soldiers and plotted against him, and how Li Yuan plans to deal with it.

"Why don't you call Ling Jing over to ask?"

Li Yuanji was thinking about it.

If Li Yuanji's guess is correct, Ling Jing should have an unknown channel to get news.

Otherwise, after Li Yuan was assassinated, why did Ling Jing get some information when no one else knew about it?
Li Yuanji also guessed that this unknown channel for obtaining information was probably constructed by Dou Jiande's old department.

Only the old department, which has been deeply favored by Dou Jiande, will risk a huge relationship to serve Ling Jing, the person who raised Dou Jiande's young daughter.

Li Yuanji didn't care about this, and he didn't intend to dig deep to catch them all.

No matter what Dou Jiande said, he was also a powerful man who had once dominated one side. Even if a person died, the traces could not be eliminated so easily.

What's more, these people are serving him indirectly now.

Li Yuanji only cared about whether these people could provide him with more information and help.

"Your Highness, please see King Hejian."

When Li Yuanji was hesitating whether to summon Ling Jing, the guard at the door suddenly reported.

Li Yuanji looked puzzled.

When did Lee Hyo-gong become so estranged?

Li Xiaogong used to go to his Jiulongtan Mountain, but he would not ask to see him, he would just rush in carelessly, just like entering his own home.

"please come in."

Li Yuanji ordered with doubts.

The guard agreed, and not long after, Li Xiaogong appeared in the room with a fully armored Li Xiaogong.

When Li Xiaogong showed up, he didn't exchange greetings. After drinking a pot of hot tea on the low table, he said in a deep tone: "Yuanji, I'm sorry..."

Li Yuanji was taken aback.

"What do you mean by cousin?"

Li Xiaogong looked at Li Yuanji and said, "I have no one to protect you."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong thoughtfully.

Li Xiaogong said again: "The sage just gave Yu Wenbao the post of General of the Left Supervisor Gate."

Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows, "Is my father only targeting me, or..."

Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice: "Zhang Gongjin was also arrested."

Zhang Gongjin took the position of another general of the Zuojianmen, recommended by Li Shimin.

Li Yuan dismissed Yu Wenbao first, and then Zhang Gongjin, his attitude was already obvious.

That means he can't trust his son, and he starts to be wary of his son.

Li Yuanji looked stunned, and thought: "Father, you can't trust our brothers. Yu Wenbao has been dismissed and is still being cleaned up. This has nothing to do with the cousin, and the cousin does not need to blame himself."

Li Xiaogong frowned and said: "The matter of Kexian Chunmen obviously has nothing to do with you, why can't the saint trust you?"

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Xiaogong said again: "Could it be because I walked too close to you?"

Li Yuanji was stunned.

Lee Hyo-gong obviously thought a little too much.

If Li Yuan felt jealous or defensive because Li Xiaogong was too close to him, then he would not be dismissed from Yu Wenbao's position, but Li Xiaogong's dismissal.

After all, according to Li Yuan's character, if his son and his courtier conspired to make a mistake, Li Yuan would definitely deal with the courtier first, and then consider disposing of his son second.

It's like after Li Jiancheng was accused of raising private soldiers, Li Yuan also assigned Wei Ting first, and then waited for the news from Gyeongju before deciding how to deal with Li Jiancheng.

Therefore, Yu Wenbao's dismissal must have nothing to do with Li Xiaogong.

Li Yuanji thought about it for a while, and roughly thought of why Li Yuan would dismiss Yu Wenbao and Zhang Gongjin at the same time, showing such a clear posture of guarding against his son.

It should be about Xianchunmen, but Li Shimin was finally found out.

Li Yuan was first betrayed by his elder son, then by his second son, and then he didn't trust all his sons.

"It has nothing to do with you and me getting too close."

Li Yuanji said frankly: "If my guess is correct, the matter of Xianchunmen will probably be found on my second brother in the end."

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, his thoughts changed sharply, and he quickly understood the joints.

"So, you have suffered an unreasonable disaster?"

Li Yuanji sighed and said, "From the very beginning of this incident, I have been suffering from unwarranted disasters."

Li Xiaogong hurriedly said: "Then how are you going to deal with it?"

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "It's better to be still than to move, just stay quietly."

Li Yuan's nerves are now at a sensitive time, and everyone looks like a thief, so it's best not to do anything.

Once you do something, it's easy to be magnified countless times by Li Yuan to see it.

There will be no problem at that time, Li Yuan may see the problem.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "However, although I can't move, my cousin can. Yu Wenbao's new errand needs my cousin's help."

Li Xiaogong saw that Li Yuanji had a countermeasure, and his expression eased a lot. After hearing Li Yuanji's words, he sighed, "The sage has arranged a new job for Yu Wenbao, and I can't get involved even if I want to."

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Xiaogong sighed: "The sage didn't say anything, he just asked Yu Wenbao to stay at the residence."

Li Yuanji frowned even tighter.

It's easy for Li Yuan to mess up all his plans if he does this.

But he is not good at committing crimes against the wind when Li Yuan is nervous.

"Then trouble my cousin to take better care of Yuwenbao. When my father arranges a new job for Yuwenbao, please let me know in time."

Li Xiaogong nodded his head, but stopped talking.

Li Yuanji questioned, "Cousin, what else do you want to say?"

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said: "Can you change your plan? We can't wait for your elder brother and your second brother to use weapons before jumping out to stop them.

In that case, we will always be passive.

We should take the initiative and take the initiative in our own hands. "

Li Yuanji pondered: "Why would my cousin say that?"

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said: "You have also seen the situation in Chang'an City now. The person sitting in that position has absolute control over Chang'an City.

Once your eldest brother and your second brother make a move, we may not be able to stop it in time.

Once the winner among them takes that position, he takes control of Chang'an City.

Even if we want to do something, it is impossible.

Can only become a lamb to be slaughtered. "

Li Yuan got angry this time, blocked the Tai Chi Palace, and strictly controlled Chang'an City, which sounded a wake-up call for Li Xiaogong.

Once Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin quickly competed for the winner and quickly took control of Chang'an City, even if they wanted to do something, it would be too late.

Li Yuanji smiled wryly and said, "Isn't it the time to talk about this now?"

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were firmly pressed to the ground by Li Yuan.

Li Shimin should have the power to resist, but Li Jiancheng has no power to resist at all.

It is impossible for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to compete for a victory.

Li Xiaogong stared and said: "I call it a rainy day."

Li Yuanji couldn't help but said: "I don't think you are planning for a rainy day, but you have noticed that the struggle between my elder brother and my second brother is becoming more and more fierce, so you want to prepare early."

Li Xiaogong didn't speak.

It can be regarded as acquiescing to Li Yuanji's statement.

Li Jiancheng has already started to raise private soldiers, which obviously has the intention of using weapons.

Li Shimin is not a person who can be slaughtered, how could he not greet him with swords?
Now they are pressed to the ground by Li Yuan.

But as long as Li Yuan let them go, their struggle will become more intense.

If any one of them suddenly launched a coup, it is possible to end the life of the other party and seize the big position.

"My cousin's worries are not unreasonable. But it's too early for my cousin to say this now."

Li Yuanji sighed.

Li Shimin is still trying every means to attack the crown prince.

There is no plan to confront Li Jiancheng at all.

As long as Li Shimin doesn't move his sword.

No matter how Li Jiancheng used swords and guns, he was only playing swords and guns.
