Man Tanghong

Chapter 413 The Situation of Weize Pass
Lee Hyo-gong was obviously moved by his 'selfless' trust, and he reciprocated and told the story.

He has to be worthy of Li Xiaogong's trust.

Immediately, he looked at Li Xiaogong meaningfully and said: "If you are willing to tell me such a terrible thing, then you will treat me as your own brother, and I will not disappoint your trust.

I don't ask you where those people are now and how many there are.

I don't even ask you how those four big ships came about.

Since you are telling this matter at this time, you want to use them in the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang.

I will notify Ling Jing and let him keep his mouth shut.

I will also bring them all into the Water Transport Yamen in my house to help you clean up the first and last. "

Li Xiaogong stood there in a daze, subconsciously said: "Are you not afraid, nor are you worried that I have ulterior motives?"

Li Yuanji said with emotion: "Cousin, you are living too cautiously, right? Seeing that you were in the Tibetan private department and the Tibetan Navy in Jingzhou, I think you were courageous, insightful and resourceful when you were in Jingzhou. people with a little bit.

Why did you return to Chang'an City, but became so cautious, and even lost your mind? "

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth, but didn't speak, his face was a bit bitter.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji roughly guessed his thoughts, and said again: "I also know that my father once suspected you because of the incident of two days in the sky, but after you returned to Chang'an City and handed over the power happily, , my father no longer suspects you.

You don't have to be careful anymore. "

Li Xiaogong squirmed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Did you forget that your second brother plotted against me and Uncle Wang?"

It's good that Li Xiaogong doesn't mention this, but Li Yuanji wants to laugh when he mentions this.

He said earnestly and earnestly: "Cousin, if you show the state you were in Jingzhou, with courage, insight, strategy and strategy, who can count on you?

I think you are scared out of your wits by my father, and you are a little bit wary.

So in the face of my father, my eldest brother, my second brother, and even me, I can't always maintain my sanity.

If you can regain your courage and look at the current situation in Chang'an City, you must see it more clearly than I do, and you will never be counted again, let alone face my father, my eldest brother, and my second brother. As well as me, there is no way to stay sane. "

Li Xiaogong hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "I admit to what you said, but I have no way to regain my courage in front of your father.

Not only me, but other brothers as well. "

Li Yuanji took a deep look at Li Xiaogong and didn't say anything more.

The root cause of this situation is the rules of heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers, and the rules of the way of concubines and concubines.

This is the foundation of most people's lives in Datang, and it cannot be changed at all.

If you have to change, you have to subvert the entire Datang.

Not only that, but also subvert the entire feudal society.

Li Yuanji didn't think he could accomplish such a great feat by himself.

I also don't think it's worth doing for Lee Hyo-gong.

I don't even think that when I am at the top of the feudal society, it is necessary to do such things that harm myself and benefit others.

Therefore, he has no way to comfort Li Xiaogong, let alone help Li Xiaogong regain his courage, he can only let Li Xiaogong live with ease, until one day Li Yuan loses power, and one day he gains power, then help Li Xiaogong regain courage.

Seeing that Li Yuanji did not speak, Li Xiaogong said with some relief and some regret: "This is my life, so you don't have to worry about me, it's useless for you to worry about me.

You just need to watch for me, don't let your father, your eldest brother, your second brother swallow me in one gulp when their fangs are exposed. "

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong and sighed, "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Li Xiaogong said mockingly: "It's much more exaggerated than this."

Li Yuanji didn't want to discuss this issue with Li Xiaogong anymore, so he immediately issued an order to expel the guest.

"It's getting late, and it's time for you to go back. You have a lot to do, but you don't have time to talk about family affairs with me."

Li Xiaogong nodded, hesitated for a while, and reminded: "You must not tell others what I told you, or I will die."

Li Yuanji gave Li Xiaogong a blank look, and said angrily: "I should be afraid of this kind of thing, what are you afraid of? If I don't keep my mouth open and tell this matter, you can just push it on my head , just say I made you do it.

I believe that my father, my eldest brother, and my second brother will not have time to care about you. "

Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right."

If this kind of thing is only done by Li Xiaogong, if it is publicized, it is nothing more than raising private soldiers and plotting against the law.

There is an impact, but it is limited to Li Xiaogong himself, and since he did not cause too much harm, it will not have much impact.

How it will be resolved depends on whether Li Xiaogong's meritorious service to Li Tang is enough for Li Yuan to let him go.

But if Li Yuanji benefited from what Li Xiaogong did and publicized it, the meaning would be different.

That means that Li Yuanji intends to seize the heir apparent and gather strength in secret.

The impact will be great and will affect Datang up and down.

After Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin learned about this matter, they would definitely focus all their attention on Li Yuanji without hesitation, and there would be no place for Li Xiaogong.

So, Li Yuanji is right.

When Li Xiaogong handed over people, Li Xiaogong had nothing to be afraid of.

It was Li Yuanji himself who should be afraid.

However, Li Xiaogong is not immune to the slightest influence.

Once this kind of thing is contaminated, there is almost no possibility of escape.

So after Li Yuanji promised to bring all the navy and fleet under Li Xiaogong into the water transport office of the mansion, the two of them belonged to the same rope.

Once the rope is caught, no one can run away.

So it will be kept secret from each other.

Li Xiaogong understood the key point, and he had no worries about the future, so he didn't have the mood to stay any longer. He immediately waved his hand, said a scene, and prepared to leave with a big swagger.

It's just that when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, paused, and turned around again.

Without waiting for Li Yuanji to ask, he said to himself: "By the way, someone died in the palace recently, and his status is not low. I heard it was Shangyi from Jieyu Palace."

Li Yuanji's heart skipped a beat, he nodded, and didn't say much.

Presumably it was Li Shimin's people who did it again.

This should be part of Li Shimin's carefully prepared plan for Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji probably guessed the specific effect.

It is nothing more than a piece of firewood added when boiling frogs in warm water.

If Li Shimin plans to plan Li Jiancheng's affairs, if it is revealed all at once, although it will cause an uproar, it will also arouse people's suspicion.

After all, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are fighting in dire straits.

If Li Jiancheng encountered any troubles, the first thing people could think of was definitely not how to help Li Jiancheng solve the troubles, but to wonder whether the troubles Li Jiancheng encountered were related to Li Shimin or whether they were calculated by Li Shimin.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin cannot reveal the matter of plotting Li Jiancheng all at once, but has to attract everyone's attention bit by bit by boiling frogs in warm water, and then find a way to make Li Jiancheng's people, or some The parties revealed the matter at once.

In this way, even if people suspect Li Shimin, they will not stare at Li Shimin closely.

In the absence of absolute evidence, it is not easy to pull Li Shimin into the water and clean up Li Jiancheng.

More importantly, Li Shimin's plan for Li Jiancheng was related to the harem. As a son, Li Shimin couldn't personally reveal what happened in his father's harem.

In that case, it would be publicizing a family scandal.

When Li Yuan cleaned up Li Jiancheng, he would not let him go.

So he not only had to wash away the suspicion by boiling the frog in warm water, but also lured Li Yuan to take the initiative to discover this matter by boiling the frog in warm water.

In this way, when the matter is exposed, he will be innocent. He doesn't have to worry about Li Yuan getting angry, and he can stand on the moral high ground with others to criticize Li Jiancheng.

It's just that this matter is related to Li Shimin's plan, and it is also related to Li Yuanji's own plan. It is not easy for Li Yuanji to tell Li Xiaogong the truth. Get in touch with those relatives.

Li Yuanji had already told Li Xiaogong what should be said, so when Li Xiaogong brought up this matter again, Li Yuanji had nothing to say.

Li Xiaogong saw that Li Yuanji just nodded, but didn't speak, and didn't care about it, he turned his head and continued to walk out.

……

Two days later.

The person Li Yuanji sent to Xiuwenguan to deliver the water transport documents finally delivered.

Li Xiaogong and Ling Jing immediately brought people over to read the documents, the records that should be recorded, the transcriptions that should be transcribed, and the statistical data that should be calculated in detail.

After working for two full days, I probably went through all the paperwork.

Li Xiaogong sent people back to the mansion to get the results of the investigation he sent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal along the way, and compared it with the situation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the pre-Sui period recorded in the document.

Then, together with Ling Jing, he formulated a strategy to dredge and develop the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Ren Gui had been working on the copybook for a long time, and she wanted to change her mind a bit, so she also joined in.

But Li Yuanji, who is the leader, has no time to join in.

Because Su Dingfang has already arrived at Weize Pass and sent back the news.

The situation at Weizeguan is a bit grim.

Ma Sanbao had no intention of leading troops into Chang'an to rescue Li Xiuning, nor did he have the intention of occupying Weize Pass to force Li Yuan to release Li Xiuning. He just wanted to occupy Weize Pass and protect the last piece of pure land for Li Xiuning. He hoped that Li Xiuning would lift the ban on Zongzheng Temple Afterwards, go back to Weizeguan, and continue to live the leisurely life of the past without any disputes and just focus on fighting.

But Li Zhongwen obviously didn't think so. He felt that there was a vast world inside and outside Weizeguan, and there was a lot to do.

So he invited Ma Sanbao and He Fanren to discuss major issues with him.

After being rejected, Ma Sanbao and He Panren were locked up.

In the end, he was released again under the persecution of a group of generals who were loyal to Li Xiuning and had a good relationship with Ma Sanbao and He Panren.

Now the two sides are leading soldiers and horses to confront each other, and there are Turkic figures moving outside the pass.

The situation is very bad.

In Su Dingfang's words, "If one fails, it will be another battle at Weizeguan." '

Li Yuanji's scalp tingles when he thought of the turmoil within the Tang Dynasty in order to seize the heir, and the possibility that the Turkic people would send troops south again, and there might still be hundreds of thousands of people who control strings.

It's not that he is afraid of the tens of thousands of Turkic people who control strings, but that the current internal situation of Datang is not suitable for a war with Turkic at all.
