Man Tanghong

Chapter 539

"Now, if you do this, do you think our brothers still have something to do?"

Li Yuanji stared and questioned.

Li Shimin sighed with regret on his face: "Is it still useful to say these things now? You win, everything is yours, you can say whatever you want. I lost, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Li Yuanji stood up and said with a sneer: "No, you don't want to, to be precise, you don't think so at all, you still want to lure your backhands outside Chang'an City, you still want to wait for your backhands to attack, and then force Father let you go."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin's expression completely changed.

"Yuanji, it seems that I really underestimated you before!"

"What backhand? Shimin actually arranged for a backhand, so why don't you hurry up and send someone to tell father."

Li Jiancheng became anxious when he heard that Li Shimin still had a backup.

Li Yuanji ignored Li Jiancheng, but continued to stare at Li Shimin and said, "You asked Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to come up with a belt edict, didn't you just want to spread the news here, and then let you arrange it outside Chang'an City?" Do you force your father to let you go?"

Too often, and on many things, justice is not served.

Just like this coup in the palace, if every participant is judged from the perspective of justice, then every participant is a sinner.

This included Li Yuanji and his subordinates.

Although Li Yuanji played the role of fighting the fire and calming the chaos in this matter.

But he didn't have Li Yuan's approval, nor did he get the seals and documents related to the introduction of troops into the Taiji Palace, nor did he have the authority to mobilize the guards at the gates of the palaces.

But he has done all these things. If judged according to the law, then he has committed several serious crimes.

In addition, after Li Yuan arrived, he insisted on sticking out of Anli's gate, did not give Li Yuan any face, and even confronted Li Yuan, which was another crime big enough to beheaded.

But even if he has committed so many serious crimes, he will not be harmed afterwards, and maybe he will be rewarded by Li Yuan.

Righteousness pales and becomes meaningless before him.

In the same way, if Li Shimin arranges for all the backhands outside Chang'an to launch together, and his people don't stop it, then justice will become pale and meaningless in front of Li Shimin.

Because once Li Shimin arranges to mobilize the backhands outside Chang'an City together, it will form a general trend that will sweep across several paths.

At that time, not to mention that Li Shimin committed a coup to usurp the throne in the palace, he would directly kill Li Yuan, and Li Yuan would have to compromise when it was time for him to compromise.

Because no matter how angry Li Yuan was, it was impossible to execute Li Shimin against the general trend formed by several rebels.

Because Li Yuan couldn't afford the consequences of several rebels sweeping Datang, and Datang also couldn't afford the consequences of several of Datang's most capable soldiers and horses betraying and turning their swords against Datang together.

So when several rebels threatened Li Yuan together, Li Yuan had to sit down and negotiate terms with them.

"You know more than I thought..."

Li Shimin stared at Li Yuanji with a very dangerous look.

Li Yuanji snorted coldly: "No matter what you say, you are an invincible and invincible commander, so how can you fight an uncertain battle.

How can you easily launch a coup in the palace before you are ready to back up. "

Li Shimin said: "Since you know it all, then you should know how powerful the backhand I left behind is."

Li Yuanji was about to speak.

Li Shimin said again: "You should support me, you should see that only I can lead Datang to become more prosperous, and only I can make Datang stronger.

My elder brother's martial arts is not bad, but his martial arts is more than a star and a half behind me.

He is suitable to be a king who keeps success, but not a king who expands the territory. "

Li Yuanji took a deep breath and did not speak.

He couldn't deny this. Compared to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin was indeed more suitable to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin can indeed lead Datang to become more prosperous and powerful, and even make Datang dominate the world, coercing the world, and achieve a grand event and hegemony that can only be created by an emperor through the ages.

This is proven by history, and he cannot kid himself.

"So, you should help me and create my Great Tang's hegemony together with me. I believe that with your support, we will be able to create a great cause far surpassing that of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu."

Li Shimin continued talking.

Li Yuanji still didn't speak.

Li Jiancheng quit, "What does it mean that I am suitable to be a ruler who keeps success, but not a ruler who expands territories. I have also opened up territories for the Great Tang Dynasty, and I have also made military exploits for the Great Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng, and said calmly, "Would you mind mentioning the territory you opened up?"

It's not that Li Shimin looks down on Li Jiancheng, but that Li Jiancheng's achievements in opening up territories really cannot be compared with him.

He laid down half of the country for Datang and solved all important enemies.

At most, Li Jiancheng was just suppressing the rebellion, recruiting to surrender, or cleaning up small groups of enemies when he was busy dealing with powerful enemies.

Li Jiancheng knew that he was far behind Li Shimin in terms of military exploits, but he still said bluntly: "What am I ashamed to mention? As the prince, I can't lead the army all year round. I also need to help my father handle the state affairs." .

If I lead the army all year round, I will definitely not lose to you in military exploits. "

Li Shimin smiled sarcastically, and ignored Li Jiancheng.

Judging from Li Jiancheng's performance in this coup in the palace, what can he do to help Datang win half of the country.

He and Li Yuanji basically pushed half of the Tai Chi Palace horizontally, and Li Jiancheng did not see any impressive moves, except for his mouth being hard all the time, he was always being beaten, he was always being beaten, and he never fought back .

Li Yuanji thinks that Li Jiancheng's words are somewhat reasonable. If he doesn't help Li Yuan handle state affairs and leads troops all year round, he still has a chance to be equal to Li Shimin in military exploits, even if he is not as capable as Li Shimin , even if he does nothing, he still has a chance.

Because Datang not only had the Pingbei War, but also the Pingnan War.

If Li Jiancheng can succeed Li Xiaogong and become the coach of Zhengnan, and if he doesn't meddle indiscriminately and leave everything to Li Jing and other good players to lead, he still has a chance to win half of the country.

After all, that's how Li Xiaogong's military exploits came about.

It's just that the Tang Dynasty has already calmed down all over the world, and it's too late to say these things now.

"Yuanji, how are you?"

After Li Shimin ruthlessly ignored Li Jiancheng, he stared at Li Yuanji and continued.

Li Yuanji still didn't speak.

Li Shimin said seriously again: "Let's put down the Turks together, conquer the southern barbarians, conquer Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, and Tubo together, and extend our territory of the Tang Dynasty to every corner of the world, and create a prosperous age together!"

This is Li Shimin's ambition, and now he has said it without reservation.

but.

Li Yuanji was not at all tempted, because he had achieved half of the achievements Li Shimin mentioned in history, and a small half of them had been achieved by his son.

So for him, there is no attraction at all.

As for extending the territory of the Tang Dynasty to every corner of the world, it is attractive, but the world he thinks is very different from the world Li Shimin thinks.

He and Li Shimin are capable of conquering the world he thinks, but they don't have so much time and can't consolidate the results.

The world that Li Shimin believes can be conquered by Li Shimin alone, without his intervention.

So even if the idea appealed to him, he wasn't particularly tempted.

"Second brother has great ambitions. It's a pity, second brother, you sent people to kill Miaoyan and the others without hesitation. How can I trust you?"

Li Yuanji mocked.

Li Shimin said: "Aren't younger brothers and sisters all right?"

Li Yuanji laughed angrily, "It doesn't mean that you haven't done anything sorry to me."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "I can make it up to you."

Li Yuanji said with a chuckle: "What compensation, the position? Are you willing to give it?"

Li Shimin's face sank all of a sudden.

Li Yuanji added, "If you are willing to give it to me, you still don't want it."

As he said that, he looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, "It's only you who take that position seriously. In my opinion, that is a bondage, that is a cage."

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "But there is supreme authority in that bondage, and the power of life and death for everyone in the world is in that cage."

Li Yuanji said lightly: "There is no freedom..."

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Compared to supreme authority, freedom is nothing."

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "You think so, but I don't. This is the difference between me and you."

Li Shimin fell into silence and didn't say another word.

Li Yuanji added, "If power is stripped from that cage, do you think that cage is still important?"

Li Shimin froze for a moment, frowned, and looked at Li Yuanji thoughtfully.

Li Yuanji didn't speak any more, but slowly stood up and walked towards Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were taken aback for a moment, and then moved to Li Shimin in panic.

"what are you going to do?"

"Do what a husband should do, do what a father should do!"

As Li Yuanji said, he threw Changsun Wuji to a corner of the city gate building, then pushed Fang Xuanling away, and then, amidst the muffled groans of Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, punched Hit Li Shimin's abdomen.

Li Shimin grunted, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Li Yuanji punched three more times, causing black blood to flow from the corner of Li Shimin's mouth.

Li Yuanji showed his fist again, waved it in front of Li Shimin's eyes and said, "This punch is from Chengqian, do you want it?"

Li Shimin's father, for the sake of the throne, ignored Li Chengqian's life and death at a critical moment. Li Yuanji felt that he, as an uncle, had to help Li Chengqian seek justice.

After Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji with a complicated expression, he said in a low voice, "Yes!"

Li Yuanji smashed it without hesitation.

Li Shimin's waist bent down like a shrimp, and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Good fight! Kill this traitor!"

Li Jiancheng applauded excitedly.
