Man Tanghong

Chapter 490 Fang Xuanling's Brilliant Move
Under the watchful eyes of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others, Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said slowly: "Your Highness should know that there have been more thugs in the East Palace a few days ago, and the number has increased day by day in recent days.

His Royal Highness must know where these fierce soldiers came from, so I won't say much.

What I want to say is that the crown prince is laying heavy troops in the East Palace, and beheading His Highness's right and left arm. I am afraid that what he intends is not just to make His Highness subdue. "

Cheng Yaojin couldn't hold back and yelled: "It goes without saying, he just wants His Highness's life."

Xue Shou added with a solemn expression: "Not only His Highness, but also us."

Du Ruhui and others nodded solemnly.

Changsun Wuji kept a straight face, watched coldly, and didn't react at all.

After Cheng Yaojin and the others finished expressing their opinions, Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "That's right, he just wants His Highness and our lives, so we just need to make arrangements and wait for him to come to the door."

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened in an instant, and he shouted, "You want us to sit and wait for death?!"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and smiled, "It's more appropriate to describe it as "waiting for a rabbit."

Cheng Yaojin yelled in dissatisfaction: "It's up to others how to beat, we only have to be beaten, so what's the point of sitting on the sidelines."

Du Ruhui thought deeply, "At present, all the generals are still in Chang'an City, and we have the advantage. We should take the initiative to attack."

Changsun Wuji agreed: "Yes, we should take the initiative to attack. In this case, we have the final say on how to fight."

Fang Xuanling stared at Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui and said: "Of course I know that it is more beneficial for us to take the initiative, but after we win the East Palace, how should we face the crown prince and the saint?"

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui hesitated for a moment, frowned and fell silent.

Cheng Yaojin, who had been yelling, also decisively shut his mouth.

Through Fang Xuanling's question, they all realized the crux of the problem, and also realized Li Shimin's concerns.

After winning the East Palace, there is no need to think too much about how to deal with Li Jiancheng.

When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were incompatible, when Li Jiancheng killed Li Shimin, what would happen to Li Jiancheng if he fell into their hands was already doomed.

So after winning the East Palace, if you face Li Jiancheng, it's not the crux of the problem at all.

The crux of the problem is how to face Li Yuan after taking down the East Palace.

If you say that you don't do anything, it will be bad for Li Shimin's reputation. Li Shimin will be said to be a traitor who killed his brother and father.

In the situation where the common people respect filial piety, patricide is an unforgivable crime.

The common people will criticize Li Shimin crazily with this, and some ambitious people will also use this as an excuse to cause chaos everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.

So the sequelae of doing so are huge, Li Shimin may not be able to digest it, and they may not be able to help Li Shimin digest it.

Moreover, Li Shimin may not agree.

You say let Li Shimin run to pretend to be pitiful to Li Yuan, tell his sufferings, and tell him that he did it as a last resort. Li Yuan may not believe it, and if he believes it, he may not make Li Shimin the prince.

Maybe Li Shimin would be demoted to a commoner in a fit of anger, and then the crown prince would be passed on to Li Yuanji.

In that case, even if they smashed the East Palace to pieces and chopped Li Jiancheng into minced meat, they would just make wedding dresses for others.

So it is not advisable to take the initiative.

But if they are allowed to sit on the sidelines, they feel that they are too passive, and if not done well, they will become sit and wait to die.

So they didn't know how to choose for a while.

They also finally understood why Li Shimin was hesitant to make a decision.

"If you don't want His Highness, and we don't want us to bear the eternal infamy, we can only sit back and wait."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji and others understood the crux of the problem, Fang Xuanling began to explain his thoughts, "Although it is too passive to wait for a rabbit, there are also benefits for waiting for a rabbit.

That is to keep His Highness's pure name and our pure name. "

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, wanting to say that 'clear name' is worthless in officialdom, but he didn't say it when it came to his lips.

Fang Xuanling saw what was going on in Changsun Wuji's mind, and continued: "Although Qingming is illusory, invisible and intangible, the common people recognize it.

This is very important for His Royal Highness to rule Datang in the future. "

Cheng Yaojin frowned and said: "But if we just sit on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit, we will be controlled by others and be very passive."

Fang Xuanling looked at Cheng Yaojin, and said amusedly: "Who told you that you will be controlled by others, and who told you that you will be passive if you wait for a rabbit?"

Cheng Yaojin stared at Fang Xuanling with astonishment.

Didn't you just say that?
Fang Xuanling seemed to see Cheng Yaojin's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It depends on how we treat the rabbit. We don't have to wait for the prey to come to our door. We can also guide the prey to take the initiative to drill into our lasso.

In this way, we seem to be passive, but in fact we have the initiative. "

Changsun Wuji immediately understood Fang Xuanling's meaning, and quickly said: "You mean that we are pushing hands in the dark, so that the prince can do things according to our thoughts.

That way, everything is in our hands.

When the prince attacks us, we can quickly find his weakness and give him a fatal blow.

In the eyes of the saint, we are protecting ourselves from the beginning to the end, so even if we do something that the saint cannot accept, can we still talk to the saint? "

Fang Xuanling nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, not only that, when facing the common people, we can also declare that we are protecting ourselves, rather than trying to make things difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Du Ruhui said thoughtfully: "In this way, no matter who we face, we will have something to say."

Xue Shou nodded and said, "That's true."

Changsun Wuji murmured: "The method is a good one, but the crown prince is cutting off His Highness's wings now, and when the crown prince cuts me off, what will His Highness do to give the crown prince a fatal blow?"

Fang Xuanling said: "So, you have to be careful."

Changsun Wuji didn't quite understand, and neither did the others.

Fang Xuanling continued: "We must ensure that some of us will stay by His Highness's side forever."

Changsun Wuji frowned, thinking about the meaning of Fang Xuanling's words.

The same goes for Xue Shou, Du Ruhui and others.

Cheng Yaojin didn't like to guess or analyze, so he asked decisively, "What do you mean by that?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "That is to say, no matter His Highness transfers any of us out of Chang'an, we must ensure that some of them stay with His Highness all the time."

Cheng Yaojin became even more confused, and shouted: "He has transferred us away from Chang'an, how can we stay with His Highness? Can't His Highness leave with us?"

Fang Xuanling picked up the teacup on the low table in front of him, took a sip, and said cheerfully: "The people present here are either Dukes or Dukes of the county, no matter how bad they are, they are also princes of the state.

No matter how powerful the prince is, he can't transfer us all away in one go.

So if he wants to cut us off, he must proceed step by step.

For us, this is an opportunity. "

Cheng Yaojin still didn't understand what Fang Xuanling meant, and scratched his head irritably. Li Shimin, who had been sitting at the top and listening quietly, had already understood the meaning of Fang Xuanling's words, and immediately said slowly: " I probably understood what Xuanling meant. Xuanling meant that it would take a lot of time for my elder brother to transfer all of you away.

And these times are enough for me to transfer some of you back. "

Cheng Yaojin shouted irritably: "This is transferred away and transferred back again. Is it transferred away or transferred back?"

Changsun Wuji and others understood the meaning of Fang Xuanling's words as early as when Fang Xuanling finished speaking, so they were immediately amused when they heard Cheng Yaojin's words.

They all looked at Cheng Yaojin and laughed like they were looking at the second idiot.

Cheng Yaojin blew his beard and stared and shouted: "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!"

Li Shimin felt that Fang Xuanling's idea and plan were quite good and highly feasible, and his mood immediately improved. Facing Cheng Yaojin, he was not angry, but just said with a smile, "You, it's time to read more!"

Cheng Yaojin scratched his neck and shouted: "I have read it, and I won't let it go!"

Li Shimin pointed at Cheng Yaojin dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

The others were amused by Cheng Yaojin's words and laughed again.

Cheng Yaojin stomped his feet and threatened them not to laugh, but they laughed louder and more recklessly.

"Your Highness, I really let you talk about it. His Highness Prince Qin has encountered far more troubles than you."

After Li Shimin adopted Fang Xuanling's remonstrance after careful consideration, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and others did not resist, and rushed to various places to take office with appointment documents and cursing.

After Ling Jing got the news, he rushed to Jiudao Palace as soon as possible, and after complimenting Li Yuanji, he said with emotion: "Up to now, [-] officials have been transferred from Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall. Leaving Chang'an.

The minister heard that the next step for His Royal Highness is to target Yongzhou Mufu and Daxingtai on Shandong Road. "

Li Yuanji looked at the case table, asked Ling Jing to pour him a cup of tea, and said disapprovingly: "There are no capable people in the Yongzhou Mufu, only Gao Shilian is supporting him, and Gao Shilian is a relative of my Li family. Might move him.

So no matter how hard my elder brother tried, it was in vain.

Of course, planting and framing may have an effect.

If Gao Shilian was just used to frame him, then he would have nothing to do with Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou, Yu Zhining and others. "

Ling Jing nodded and said: "I understand that you will gain wisdom if you suffer from it. If His Royal Highness uses the method of framing Gao Shilian, then Fang Xuanling and others will definitely be vigilant and take precautions. If His Highness uses the same method to deal with Fang Xuanling and others, it will not work.

And Fang Xuanling and others played a greater role under His Highness King Qin's command than Gao Shilian, so even if His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to use the method of framing, it would only be used on Fang Xuanling and others.

So Gao Shilian will be fine this time. "

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "As for the Daxingtai on Shandong Road, my elder brother can just think about it."
