First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 415 Brothers and Sisters
...

Hearing Yu Wenying's words, Li Yuanji scratched his head anxiously, unable to come up with a good idea for a while, and was very anxious.

Seeing this, Yu Wenying had no choice but to tentatively say, "Why don't we ask His Royal Highness what he thinks?"

"The prince has already rushed to the Palace of Renzhi, and he can't catch up," Li Yuanji waved his hands violently.

"If you go to him again for this matter, the king will have to scold him."

Hearing Li Yuanji's words, Yu Wenying had no choice but to give up, and waited hopefully for Li Yuanji to make up his mind. He had always only known flying eagles and horses, and he was naturally flustered when encountering such a big event.

"If you are like this, you will go to Gyeongju now according to the will."

Li Yuanji frowned, thought hard, and finally said: "When you see Yang Wenqian, tell the truth. He is the prince's confidant, so he naturally knows what to do."

"Ah?" Yu Wenying was shocked immediately, "The sage asked me to find out his truth, how can I tell the truth, isn't this, isn't it against the sage's will."

Li Yuanji stared, "Yang Wengan is his own, and he still wants to hide it from him. As long as you tell him, he will know how to act."

"This, that, then how will he act?" Yu Wenying asked timidly and tentatively.

Li Yuanji's face was gloomy, "It's nothing more than playing by ear. If the prince goes to Renzhi Palace, what happens. He was born in the prince's Suwei, so he knows what to do."

Although Yu Wenying was ignorant, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she still said, "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for instructions."

"Bastard", Li Yuanji was furious immediately, "What the prince means is what the king means, so you do it."

Yu Wenying was forced by Li Yuanji's despotic power, so she had no choice but to agree, not daring to delay, and hurried out of the city to Qingzhou.

Little did they know that Li Yuanji's stupid move would plunge the already stable Longxi into war again.

In Binzhou Station, Gao Chong led the army to come here, quickly took over the batch of ordnance, and then made some adjustments. Before the weather cleared, he carefully escorted them back to Chang'an City until they entered Dali Temple.

Gao Chong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Jiancheng had already gone to the Renzhi Palace to face the saint and did not take the risk.

After writing down the memorandum and truthfully reporting the fact of the seizure of physical evidence to Li Yuan, Gao Chong did not take any action. He lived and ate at Dali Temple, and only cared about the physical evidence, and other matters had nothing to do with him.

He just needs to deal with it impartially. If it involves too much, it will inevitably cause Li Yuan's dissatisfaction. After all, it is his two sons who are fighting now.

Although Gao Chong lives in Chang'an, his heart is in Renzhi Palace in Fangzhou, and his confidant Kaohsiung is also in Renzhi Palace at this time.

That's right, when Gao Chong went to Binzhou to collect the ordnance, he ordered Kaohsiung to go to Renzhi Palace. There are some things that can only be done by his confidantes.

In a side hall of Renzhi Palace, Li Shimin read the secret letter in his hand, put it in the lampshade and burned it to ashes, looked at Kaohsiung and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Kaohsiung stared blankly at the burnt secret letter, scratched his head and smiled, "My lord asked me to remind the king, remember to burn it after reading it."

Li Shimin paused when he heard the words, then shook his head and laughed, "This guy is still so out of tune."

Such an important secret letter, he naturally knows that it will be burnt after reading it, and if you don't burn it after reading it, you will be sorry for the grade of waxed secret letter.

After Kaohsiung left, Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and then shouted: "Come here, bring Du Fengju."

After the words fell, Li Shimin thought for a while, got up and said: "Forget it, I will go in person."

With Li Shimin's departure, Qin Wangfu is destined to add more talents.

This night is doomed to be sleepless.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuan was sleeping with his clothes on. Li Yuan, who hadn't slept soundly all night, heard light footsteps outside, and sat up awkwardly, "Who is it?"

The servant Wang De hurriedly replied: "Everyone, the crown prince has come down, and now I kneel outside the palace gate to see you."

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and he didn't know what he was thankful for.

Since Li Jiancheng came from Chang'an overnight and knelt at the palace gate early in the morning, it at least shows that Li Jiancheng did not jump the wall in a hurry.

Then Li Yuan flew into a rage and roared loudly, "Let that traitor get out of here."

After a while, only the sound of staggering footsteps could be heard.

"Aye, Aye, I'm wrong," Li Jiancheng's crying voice came.

Li Yuan turned around and glared, only to see that Li Jiancheng was dressed in coarse linen, his shoes were worn out, and his feet were dripping with blood.

From Chang'an to Renzhi Palace for more than 200 miles, Li Jiancheng was on the road overnight. He fell down many times on the road and was very embarrassed.

"Aye, I was confused for a while, I really realized my mistake." Li Jiancheng lay on the ground and wept loudly, his voice was very sad.

"Nizi, Nizi", Li Yuan was startled for a moment and knew that this was Li Jiancheng's trick, pointing at Li Jiancheng and yelling, "Look at what you have done, hiding soldiers, what do you want to do, conspiracy?"

"Don't dare, never dare..." Li Jiancheng cried, his voice was choked, and he was on the verge of fainting.

At this time, Li Shimin rushed over, seeing this, he helped Li Jiancheng up, "Brother, why...don't be like this...".

Li Jiancheng hugged Li Shimin, crying with snot and tears.

"Erlang, elder brother envies you. You have soldiers and generals. Eldest brother has nothing. Thinking of Yang Wengan's close relationship with me, I was confused for a while. Eldest brother has no other meaning...".

Seeing that Li Jiancheng seemed to be emotionally broken, but actually told all the truth without concealment, Li Shimin, who lowered his head, flashed a trace of solemnity in his eyes. He was keenly aware that Li Jiancheng's move was extremely clever.

Seeing Li Jiancheng hugging Li Shimin and crying for injustice, Li Yuan continued to be angry and shouted: "You have six ranks in the East Palace, what do you want? Erlang is all soldiers and horses, what are you envious of?"

Seeing that Li Jiancheng wanted to talk more, Li Yuan, who was so angry, kicked up. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin hurriedly hugged Li Jiancheng, kicked Li Jiancheng abruptly and suffered this kick.

Li Yuan's physical fitness is very good, he is not a weak scholar, he is over [-] years old at this time, and he can still draw a strong bow, this kick with anger was so powerful that Li Shimin's chest was stuffy, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding slightly.

Li Shimin forced himself to recover, wiped the corners of his mouth, and there were traces of blood on his white sleeves.

"Aye, calm down, calm down, take care of your health, there must be a misunderstanding."

The elder brother hugged his younger brother and wept bitterly, and the younger brother protected his elder brother from a hard kick. It was a scene of harmony between brothers and friends.

Seeing Li Shimin being kicked and injured, Li Yuan's anger subsided a little, but seeing Li Jiancheng who was crying still felt a pang in his heart, so he had to turn around, "Get out, get out, imprison this rebellious son, don't live in the palace, get out of the tent." , Take off the brocade clothes, and have two meals of wheat and rice."

Several people were shocked when they heard the words.

Li Jiancheng was completely stunned.

"Aye, no, the elder brother is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can..."

"Everyone, calm down, this is out of style."

Li Shimin and Wang De hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground to beg for mercy, this kind of treatment was considered cold for a concubine in the palace.

For the Prince Donggong, what is the difference between the Crown Prince and the Wasted Prince?
