I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 36: King Qin went to the mountains to hunt?Li Yuan's tolerance, let him go!
Chang'an, East Palace.

Snapped!
Snapped!
The two arrows left the string and hit the two arrow targets respectively.

One of them was right in the heart, but the other was just marginal.

"Fourth brother, in terms of archery, I am far inferior to you!"

Li Jiancheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and while gathering his bow and arrow, he said with a smile,
"Don't play anymore, don't play anymore, I can't compare to you!"

"I'm afraid only the second younger brother can compete with you."

Li Yuanji, King of Qi beside him, curled his lips when he heard the words.

"Li Shimin? His archery is just like that!"

He snorted coldly,

"It's mostly boasting. I don't believe it when they say they are the best among the three armies."

"Compared to the truth, I must win!"

Li Jiancheng laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay! As a brother, I appreciate your self-confidence!"

"Go, take a break."

When the two walked under the eaves, a maid brought iced face towels and chilled watermelons.

"Speaking of which, for some reason, the second brother suddenly went to the Qinling Mountains."

Li Jiancheng wiped his face and said casually,
"He dragged his family along with him, and the eight hundred government soldiers took them away. I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."

Li Yuanji also sat down and took a bite of iced watermelon.

He chewed twice, sneered and said:
"The eight hundred government soldiers were not equipped with weapons and armor, and they left in a hurry."

"It's probably because I was frustrated, I went to the Qinling Mountains to hunt and relax. After all, this time the emperor called him by name and asked him to go to the vassal. He is definitely not happy!"

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly.

"If he can give up on this, it's fine to be an idle prince traveling around the mountains and rivers."

he whispered,

"If this is the case, it will save us brothers from fighting."

Li Jiancheng didn't want to fight in his heart, he just wanted to take over the throne safely and be a successful king.

This is his positioning of himself.

"Stop fighting? I said brother, are you really going to let him go?"

Li Yuanji sneered,

"But don't forget how he set you up this time."

"If you ask me, we must never give up any chance to suppress Li Shimin! We should beat him like a dog in the water!"

"Otherwise, whenever he has a chance to breathe, he will definitely bite you back!"

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly.

"Don't speak so harshly..." he scolded.

"Loyalty is hard to hear."

Li Yuanji shrugged,

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Look at it, he won't stop for a long time, and he will definitely have poisonous schemes in his heart."

"Even if you are successfully enthroned and become the emperor at that time, believe it or not, as soon as the father dies, he will rebel against you?"

"Second brother, I know him too well, he is such a person."

With a few words, Li Shimin was reduced to a vicious and greedy wolf.

"Okay! Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the future."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and turned to say,

"I actually really want to know what the father meant when he was in court that day."

"If you want to talk about punishment, he only punished a small soldier from Tiance Mansion, and didn't go into it at all."

"If you want to say that there is no punishment, the sentence 'The King of Qin should be a vassal', I am afraid that it will make the second brother sleepless all night."

"You must know that the second brother holds important positions in the imperial court such as Shang Shu Ling and Zhong Shu Ling. If he becomes a vassal, he will become a polished prince, and he is nothing..."

"His old man's thoughts... are really unpredictable."

He stroked his chin lightly, with a troubled expression on his face.

……

Taiji Palace, Haichi.

The weather is hot, so Li Yuan likes to go boating on the lake to cool off the heat.

On the deck, the two stood beside Li Yuan, bent slightly, and bowed their heads in silence.

"This man, he just can't help drying himself."

Li Yuan stroked his fair skin and said distressedly,

"Look, after a while in the sun, it turns red."

"Two more days in the sun, I'm afraid it's going to be dark."

Pei Ji beside him hastily stepped forward to cover Li Yuan from the sun, saying:
"Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, let's rest in the cabin."

Li Yuan smiled slightly.

"Pei Qing is the most considerate."

He boasted, and said towards the cabin,
"Stop the boat and fetch three pairs of fishing rods. I want to compete with the two lovers in fishing!"

With an order, the attendants in the cabin immediately brought up three pairs of exquisite fishing rods, as well as fishing baits with a slightly fishy smell.

"Pei Qing, Xiao Qing, sit down."

Li Yuan took the lead in occupying the best fishing position, and said with a smile.

Pei Ji and Xiao Yu responded, and both sat down with poles.

The three of them fish together on the sea pool.

"I've been a little tired recently, and I've thanked you for the things in the court."

Li Yuan yawned and lazily said,
"What happened recently?"

As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was actually very slack, but he didn't think so.

He believes that he has mastered the essence of Taoism's "governance by doing nothing", and his methods are comparable to those of Emperor Wen of Han.

There is nothing to do in governing the country, as long as the right people are used, they will naturally manage everything.

You see, we have been doing nothing like this, and the territory of Datang is not increasing?Isn't the court running very well?

"Return to Your Majesty, everything in the center is as usual, except for some disasters in the local area, there is nothing important."

Xiao Yu reported,

"It's all drought, banditry and other things, and they have been ordered to appease."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

"Is there anything wrong with the inner court? King Qin... um."

He paused for a moment and asked,

"What is King Qin doing recently?"

"Return to Your Majesty, King Qin left Chang'an a few days ago and entered Qinling."

Pei Ji hurriedly said,
"The soldiers from Tiance Mansion also took away all of them, and entered Qinling Mountains. I don't know what activities they are doing."

Li Yuan frowned, and shook the fishing rod in his hand slightly, scaring away the fish wandering around the bait.

"All the government soldiers took away?"

He frowned,

"What are you doing?"

A trace of unhappiness rose in Li Yuan's heart.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin should have simply gone hunting."

Xiao Yu hastened to make amends,

"His soldiers were not equipped with any armor or weapons, and they just accompanied King Qin on a safari in the mountains."

"After all, the Qinling Mountains are vast, and there are fierce tigers and poisonous snakes entrenched, so it is necessary to bring more talents for safety."

After hearing this explanation, Li Yuan's brows relaxed.

"If you don't go to the royal paddock, you have to go hunting in the Qinling Mountains. It's really..."

He chuckled,

"I don't know who this adventurous personality is like."

Seeing this, Pei Ji said with some hesitation:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin went hunting in the mountains with such fanfare, I'm afraid it's a bit out of bounds..."

Li Yuan waved his hand before he finished speaking.

"That's all, I know he's in a bad mood, he's just hunting, let him go!"

He said casually,

"Young people, they just love to make trouble."

"Unlike me, I'm already tired of hunting. It's not as interesting as fishing with bow and arrow."

"For the superior, you should fish more and cultivate this calming skill, so that you can stay calm..."

As he spoke, he flicked his fishing rod, and a small fish was already hooked.

Li Yuan smiled brightly.
