I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 104 The second step in the fight for the throne, a list scares Li Shimin!

That night.

At a banquet, Xu Fenglei had a drink with everyone as usual, and then left the banquet.

In the courtyard, an old man sat alone.

"Listen."

Holding the teacup, Sun Simiao casually said,

"Du Ruhui's injury is almost healed."

"The royal palace is not the place I like to stay, it's almost time to go."

Xu Fenglei nodded calmly.

"Okay, I'll send you off tomorrow."

He was not surprised by Sun Simiao's farewell.

With the old man's temperament, it is already a great deal of face to be able to stay in the right and wrong place for such a long time.

"you……"

Sun Simiao looked at Xu Fenglei, squeezed his teacup, frowned and said,
"Really determined to stay and assist King Qin with all your strength?"

"I've also heard what happened in the past few days. Although the old man doesn't understand politics, he also knows that Chang'an is a place of right and wrong."

"And this Tiance Mansion is the center vortex of right and wrong!"

"Even the King of Qin will be imprisoned if he is a little careless. You kid is so precious...Aren't you afraid?"

"Let's talk about it... Even if this kind of thing is really done, King Qin will become the emperor in the future, and if you don't keep it together, you won't be able to tolerate you..."

He persuaded Xu Fenglei once before, but he was persuaded.

But after what happened today, he wanted to persuade him again.

"Wealth and wealth are in danger..."

"Only by choosing King Qin can I realize my ambitions and ideals."

Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"Don't worry, since I have chosen him, I am confident in my heart, Master Sun doesn't have to worry about me."

"As for the matter, I will give King Qin an undeniable condition."

"Everything is in my hub."

Sun Simiao opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

"Well, since you are so determined, I won't talk too much. Come on, let's replace wine with tea."

He raised his teacup and said,
"Go one."

Ding.

The two clink glasses.

Bitter tea enters the throat, but there is sweetness.

"The old man wants to take his apprentice on a cloud tour for a while, let him listen and see more, and will not return to Chang'an for the time being."

Sun Simiao got up and said,
"Your medical skills are still so-so, and you can handle common minor ailments."

"If there is something urgent, go to Chang'an Yixintang to find my third apprentice, he knows my exact whereabouts."

Xu Fenglei also stood up with a respectful expression.

"What happened this time is indeed causing trouble for Sun Zhenren."

He arched his hands,

"If you have any difficulties in the future, just say something, don't be polite to me, at least let me return the favor."

Sun Simiao laughed.

"You boy... will the old man be polite to you?"

He patted Xu Fenglei's shoulder and said,

"Remember what the old man told you earlier, if your life is in danger, flee to the Qinling Mountains, and the old man will keep you safe."

"Okay, go back and rest."

After that, he held the teacup and walked to his room.

In the wing room, ice cubes had already been prepared for him, and this was the last time Sun Simiao enjoyed such luxurious treatment.

"I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it..."

Old Sun put his head behind his back, humming, and closed the door.

"This old man..."

Seeing this, Xu Fenglei couldn't help smiling.

Saying no, isn't the body still very honest?
He is used to it now, how can he sleep in this hot weather without ice cubes!
After drinking the tea in the teacup, Xu Fenglei was about to go back to his room to rest when he heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

"Ok?"

Who came to look for him in the middle of the night?
"Mr. Xu hasn't rested yet?"

Li Shimin stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard, shouting.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Qin."

Xu Fenglei saluted slightly and said with a smile,
"Why is Your Highness here, why don't you talk in the room?"

Li Shimin sighed softly, nodded, and followed into the house together.

scoff.

The candle was lit, reflecting the faces of the two.

"...Mr. Xu, we will send troops to Binzhou in the future. Do you think my trip went well?"

Li Shimin tapped his fingers on the table, hesitated a little, but still asked the question.

In front of people, he is indifferent.

But the pressure he was under was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Your Highness is the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, invincible in all battles."

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"What's the point of a mere Turkic invasion?"

"Why, for such a trivial matter, does His Highness ask me to divination?"

Li Shimin couldn't help smiling wryly upon hearing this.

"If the forces are equal, I'm not afraid, but this time... the gap is too great!"

He said helplessly,

"Xieli claims to have [-] troops, although the actual number is not so much, but he joined forces with Tuli, and it is very easy to send out [-] troops."

"As for me, the only men I can use are the nine thousand infantry dispatched by Chang'an, and the few thousand remnant soldiers from Binzhou. At full count, there are only more than ten thousand soldiers."

"If Binzhou is broken, Chang'an is in danger! How can it be said to be a trivial matter?"

"On the one hand, I have the confidence to retreat, but on the other hand, I am also beating drums in my heart, so I come to ask Mr. to clarify my doubts."

With Li Shimin's military talent, there is no need to ask Xu Fenglei for countermeasures.

He only asked good and bad luck, and to put it bluntly, it was just to strengthen his confidence and confidence.

After all, the person in front of him is straight-talking!
If he said he was a great success, then Li Er's confidence would be fully boosted in one fell swoop!

"Your Highness's trip, not to mention a triumphant return, but at least it can accomplish the set goal. I think it will be no problem to make Jieli Khan stop his troops and retreat."

Xu Fenglei said calmly,

"Therefore, His Highness should not put all his thoughts on the battlefield, but should also think about how to go next."

"If you only think about being a general, you will suffer disaster in the future. The more meritorious service you do, the greater the disaster, and the more miserable your death will be."

Li Shimin's mind was shaken, and even the drunkenness dissipated invisible.

He suddenly remembered that since the last time he entered the palace to beg for feudal vassals, he hadn't made another move!
Right now, all he can think about is how to beat Jieli Khan, and he completely forgot about the fight for the heir apparent!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help having a cold war.

"Thank you sir for reminding me! I almost lost sight of the other, and ruined the big event..."

Li Shimin hurriedly cupped his hands,
"Let's ask sir, which step should I take next?"

Seeing him awake, Xu Fenglei immediately smiled and took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

"I have already prepared the next move for Your Highness."

He handed the paper to Li Shimin and said,
"On this list, the forces are divided into three factions, upper, middle and lower."

"The members of the Shangpai can be used by His Highness, or His Highness's old department, or those who are willing to support His Highness. Such as Liu Hongji, Xiao Yu, Yu Wenshi and others, these people can already be secretly won."

"Central people will not be used by His Highness, but they may remain neutral. As long as they can continue to remain neutral, they are actually supporting His Highness in a disguised form, because His Highness wants to win in chaos and win by change. They wait and see what happens It is best not to intervene! Representatives of this faction include Li Jing, Li Shiji and other smart people who hold military power."

"The people in the lower sect are the enemies of His Highness, that is, the princelings, or those who hate His Highness. These people basically work closely around the Prince and King Qi. There are not many people, and they are as talented as the Prince. There are also very few people who wash the horses of Wei Zheng. Most of them are villains, such as King Qi, Zhang Jieyu, Concubine Yin De, etc..."

Li Shimin looked at the detailed list in front of him, seeing the orderly and densely packed names, while his heart was shocked, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of fear!
Mr. Xu...how did you draw up this list? !
He clearly only came to Chang'an for a few days, how could he know the power of the court so well? !Almost all important ministers and generals have been classified in detail...

terrible!
