Man Tanghong

After all, for the political achievements delivered to the door, whether it be Li Gang and others, or the officials of the counties near Chang'an City, they will definitely stick up their buttocks, put all their energy into it, and rush to do everything well.

Faced with Li Yuanji's threat, Li Shimin's face flushed red, and he roared angrily, "Li Yuanji, can you be more shameless?!"

Li Jiancheng didn't react too much, because he was busy wiping the blood from his mouth.

Li Yuanji nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, you have been demoted to a commoner, and you no longer have any official titles and powers. In order to prevent you from affecting the future of my nephews, I can make the decision on your behalf and send them all away. Adoption out."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji pretended to think about it: "I remember that Kuan'er died shortly after being adopted by the fifth brother, and now the fifth brother has no heirs under his name. I think Chengqian is quite clever, so why not adopt Chengqian?" How about under the name of the fifth brother?"

Kuan'er in Li Yuanji's mouth refers to Li Kuan, Li Shimin's eldest son.

Although Li Kuan was born earlier than Li Chengqian, because he was a concubine, he couldn't inherit everything from Li Shimin, nor could he bear the identity of Li Xuanba's direct lineage, so he was adopted to Li Yuan's eldest son, Li Yuanji's fifth younger brother Li Zhiyun.

It's a pity that Li Kuan was weak and sick since he was a child, and he died within two years of being adopted under the name of Li Zhiyun. In the second year of Zhenguan in history, Li Shimin would adopt Li Linggui, the son of Li Shidu, Duke of Jinan, to be his heir under the name of Li Zhiyun. So Li Zhiyun has no son under his name now.

Let Li Chengqian be Li Zhiyun's heir, and Li Zhiyun will say yes a hundred times.

But Li Shimin would not agree to anything.

After all, he's not dead yet. Li Chengqian is his eldest son and the eldest grandson of the Tang royal family. What joke are you talking about to give Li Zhiyun a son from a concubine? !

Li Shimin wished he could swallow Li Yuanji alive. He didn't expect that Li Yuanji, who always showed off his quail face, would be so vicious after showing his true face.

But the situation is stronger than others, and others are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads.

So he gritted his teeth and said loudly, "You're ruthless!!"

Seeing that Li Shimin had softened, Li Yuanji smiled brightly, looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Where's big brother?"

Li Jiancheng glared at Li Yuanji angrily, but did not speak.

His son has been killed by Li Shimin, so he is not afraid of this threat at all.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji had to remind: "Brother, did you forget that there is still one in my sister-in-law's stomach, maybe it's a son."

Zheng Guanyin was conceived with her eldest grandson, and Wang Ruan was also conceived at the same time.

During that time, Li Yuanji was tortured a lot by Yang Miaoyan, so he clearly remembered this matter.

On the day Yang Miaoyan returned to the palace, Li Yuanji secretly told Yang Miaoyan to visit Zheng Guanyin.

It was because Yang Miaoyan visited Zheng Guanyin and told Li Yuanji about Zheng Guanyin's current situation in bed, that Li Yuanji knew that Zheng Guanyin was crying all day long, not thinking about food and drink, and unable to sleep all night.

This is definitely not a good thing for a pregnant woman.

So when Li Yuanji thought that he would be unhappy with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he came to Anlimen without hesitation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be bothered to come here to argue with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

As for asking Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to help him with government affairs, it was purely to give them an excuse to deliver news to his wife.

Otherwise, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin wouldn't believe that they were benefited suddenly for nothing.

Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the Anli Gate, he saw Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin playing chess in a chic and comfortable manner, and the anger in his stomach came up for no reason.

Then he vented without hesitation, making Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin unhappy.

Only then did he feel happy.

Li Jiancheng didn't know that Li Yuanji was giving benefits. After hearing Li Yuanji's words, he was obviously stunned for a while, the expression on his face changed rapidly for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and growled, "You will be safe and sound. Let her give birth to the child steadily?"

Li Yuanji laughed angrily at Li Jiancheng, "If I don't want her to give birth to the child, I will mention it to you?"

Li Jiancheng roared sullenly: "Who knows what you think!"

Li Yuanji stood up slowly, and said angrily and amusedly: "Li Jiancheng! Don't think of everyone like you! I want to care about your comeback and those nephews threatening me, and I will not keep you and me. them."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin and said: "I am different from you. I still think about ethics, morality, brotherhood, and uncle-nephew friendship in my heart, so I will not do things like you. .

But don't expect to make a comeback by taking advantage of my weakness.

I can tell you clearly, since I dare to keep you, I am not afraid of your comeback.

But if you are defeated by me again, then I will not be polite to you.

I will kill you first, then let the sisters-in-law remarry, and then send the nephews to ordinary farmers' homes, and let them live incognito for the rest of their lives. "

"On this point, we are indeed not as good as you. I don't know what big brother thinks, but I can listen to you and help you, just please don't hurt Chengqian and the others."

Li Shimin is very knowledgeable about current affairs, or in other words, he has the true biography of Goujian, the king of Yue, and knows how to endure.

So when the situation was stronger than others, he chose to bow his head and forbear without hesitation.

But this doesn't mean that he gave up his ambition and his great cause. He just began to bear it and waited for the opportunity after he found out that Li Yuanji would not kill him.

Li Jiancheng was not so aware of current affairs, he raised his head and said mockingly: "It's just a hypocrisy!"

It's not that he doesn't want to know current affairs, nor does he want to forbear.

It's just that compared to Li Shimin, his accumulated background is too thin. In the previous coup in the palace, the sword and gun in his hand had been completely destroyed, and he could no longer use the sword to make a comeback.

He didn't count on the civil servants under him at all.

It's not that he doesn't like those civil servants, but that he understands the nature of those civil servants.

Although he has been imprisoned in Anlimen, he is sure that [-]% to [-]% of the civil servants under his command have already been recruited by Li Yuanji, and the remaining [-]% to [-]% will be recruited sooner or later. .

So he chose to lie flat, and chose to smash the jar.

Li Yuanji stared fixedly at Li Jiancheng, really not knowing what to say.

How did some very famous princes become like this after being reduced to prisoners?
Is it because the historical records are false, or is Li Jiancheng's character too fragile, unable to withstand the torture, and collapsed as soon as he was tortured?

"Brother, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You don't think about yourself, you have to think about my unborn nephew, right? Do you really have the heart to see him being sent to an ordinary farmer's house to live a lifetime with cows and horses?"

Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, but actually persuaded Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng glared at Li Shimin with fiery eyes, and roared, "How dare you mention your nephew? What qualifications do you have to mention your nephew?"

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he didn't speak any more. Instead, he walked to the only case table in the city gate building, picked up some documents, and went to the short table beside him to start reviewing.

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked to the case table in three steps at a time, picked up the remaining documents, and prepared to go back to the lower table for review.

But before leaving, he stared at Li Yuanji with glaring eyes and said, "I'm not bowing to you, I just want to live a good life, watching you raise tigers, and watching how you and Li Shimin die!"

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Up to now, don't you care about my unborn nephew's life? Don't you care about my sister-in-law's life?"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "So what if I care? Will you let me go out to reunite with them?"

Li Yuanji frowned all of a sudden.

Li Jiancheng said again: "Even if I don't care about them, can you just watch them die?"

Li Yuanji was annoyed all of a sudden, and wanted to give Li Jiancheng a big slap in the face.

But I heard Li Jiancheng continue: "You can't! Because your father doesn't allow it! Unless you dare to abolish your father and sit in that position yourself! But will you?!"

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, really stunned.

Fuck!Li Jiancheng's IQ has risen! ! !

Let's not talk about whether he dares to abolish Li Yuan, even if he really dares, but he won't be able to sit firmly if he took Li Tang's position by usurping the throne.

After all, the unified emperor before Li Yuan, um, that is, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, took the throne in this way.

Then what greeted him was No. 72 smoke and dust.

If he takes the high position in the same way again, the world will still be in chaos, and maybe there will be smoke and dust from Route 72.

This is not to say that after he came to power, he would behave like Yang Guang and force all careerists in the world.

Rather, the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty had cultivated many careerists. These careerists have not yet fully recognized the Tang Dynasty, nor have they completely disappeared.

Therefore, if he took the high position in the same way, all ambitious people would jump out without hesitation, thinking that Li Tang was seeking rebellion, and thinking that Li Yuan was loyal, they would attack him together.

So if he really wanted Li Tang's position, he couldn't take it by usurpation.

In history, after Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, the reason why Li Yuan was kept and the reason why Li Yuan was regarded as the Supreme Emperor was not only to preserve his reputation and filial piety, but also to consider this aspect.

For this reason, when the Turks went south, he was unable to quell all kinds of grievances in the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't gather a huge force to deal with the Turks in the first place, so that the Turks went all the way to Weishui, forcing him to Signed the very shameful Weishui alliance.

There are many books in history about Li Shimin's wise retreat of the Turks, but only a few pens are used to record that when the Turks left, they took away a lot of wealth, sufficient food and grass, and a large number of people.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin did not organize troops to counterattack immediately after the Turks retreated. Instead, he developed silently for several years before starting to counterattack the Turks.

Because all the money in the Tang treasury and the private treasury of the royal family were compensated to the Turks, most of the food and population in the entire Guanzhong area were looted by the Turks.

If Li Shimin did not develop silently, he would not have enough money and food to support the campaign against the Turks.

Historically, in the early days of Li Shimin's administration, he streamlined his officials and streamlined his administration, let the maids out of the palace, and lived frugally with his eldest grandson. Was it for that or to save money? !

Otherwise, the natural disaster in the early days of Zhenguan could really spend all the money Li Shimin seized from Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other anti-kings?

That is the huge wealth accumulated by all the anti-kings who plundered the world and inherited the legacy of the former Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, if the great power is seized from Li Yuan by usurping the throne, it will do great harm to Datang.

More importantly, Li Yuanji didn't want that position either.

Li Yuanji didn't expect that Li Jiancheng, who was about to be regarded as a fool by him, could actually see that he would not seize the throne of the Tang Dynasty by usurping the throne.
