Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 124: Li Yuan holds the King of Qi hostage to order the Crown Prince and the King of Qin
After listening to Li Shimin's assurance, what else could Changsun Wuji do? Now going has become inevitable, and he can only accept it with a pinch of his nose. Now he only hopes that Li Yuanji can have some rationality, otherwise he will really suffer on this trip.

As for Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji had no hope at all. This time, he would only bring a few hundred guards at most. What could such a small number of people help him defend against?
"Your Majesty, I know, and I will certainly do everything well."

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and felt a little reluctant. After all, he was his elder brother-in-law, a good friend, and a capable subordinate. But now his relationship with Li Yuanji had to be eased, and he had no choice.

If Changsun Wuji did not deal with this matter, there would always be a rift between him and Li Yuanji. Now that problems had finally arisen between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he did not want to put Li Yuanji, whose power had expanded, on Li Jiancheng's side again.

Afterwards, Li Shimin entered the palace and asked Li Yuan to issue an edict to let Zhangsun Wuji go to Lingnan as an angel. But when he entered the palace, Li Shimin saw a very familiar figure.

"Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Crown Prince."

The man in the hall was none other than Li Jiancheng. When Li Jiancheng saw Li Shimin coming, his eyes flashed.

"The King of Qin is here, but is it about Lingnan?"

Even if Li Jiancheng had no news, he could guess the purpose of Li Shimin's visit. After all, Li Shimin must know the news of Lingnan. Now that Lingnan has undergone such great changes, if Li Shimin does not want to find out what is going on, then there must be something fishy.

Although Lingnan is now Li Yuanji's fiefdom, Li Yuan can transfer Li Yuanji back to Chang'an at any time. Once Li Yuanji returns to Chang'an, the now powerful Li Yuanji will become an existence that no one can ignore.

In addition, he and Li Yuanji had a good relationship, so Li Jiancheng would not believe it if Li Shimin was not anxious.

Li Yuan's gaze also shifted to Li Shimin, waiting for his answer.

Li Shimin's heart sank. Since Li Jiancheng asked this, he knew that Li Jiancheng must have come for this matter. Once Li Jiancheng wanted to compete with him for this angel, he would have no advantage, because Li Jiancheng was naturally on good terms with Li Yuanji.

"Father, I am here for the matter of the Prince of Qi. Now there are many changes in Lingnan. As his elder brother, I don't know how Yuanji is doing now. I feel guilty, so I came to ask you, Father, if you can let Changsun Wuji be the angel and bring some supplies to Yuanji.

First, I want to help Yuanji, and second, I want to see how Yuanji is doing there, so that I can feel at ease. "

Li Shimin spoke half-truthfully, his face full of worry. If you didn't know, you would have thought that Li Shimin and Li Yuanji had a very good relationship before.

Li Jiancheng's face darkened when he heard this. He had never told Li Yuan that he would bring supplies to Li Yuanji. Now that Li Shimin said so, he was instantly outshined.

Li Yuan's originally gloomy face relaxed after hearing this.

"Erlang is thoughtful and cares about Sanlang. There were indeed some unhappiness between you two in the past, but now it seems that a lot has been repaired. This is very good, and this is what a brother should be like.

Dalang, you are not bad either. Sanlang has been good friends with you since childhood. You are the eldest brother, so you should take good care of your younger brothers.

As for this matter, you go down first, and an imperial edict will be passed down later."

Li Yuan praised each of them and sent them out directly. What he said was half true and half false. At this time, Li Yuan suddenly realized that Li Yuanji was gaining power in Lingnan, and he could better balance the two of them.

Although there is a gap between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin now, it is not that big. Once Li Yuanji comes back, no matter which side they lean towards, that side will directly gain a considerable advantage. Li Yuan really found another use for Li Yuanji. So, he used Li Yuanji to force Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to obey him. If anyone disobeyed, he would directly transfer Li Yuanji back to see what the two would do.

Li Yuan was very happy. He used to think that Li Yuanji was useless and didn't pay much attention to him compared to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. But now it seems that he has to pay more attention to Li Yuanji. If he uses him well, the situation will be under his control.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had no choice but to retreat. Both of them felt heavy in their hearts. Now they both knew very well the attitude expressed by Li Yuan, that is, the people they chose would be sent out, but they were unsure who would be the main one and who would be the auxiliary one.

When they came outside, they looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Second brother, don't bother worrying about Yuanji's affairs. The relationship between Yuanji and me is incomparable to yours. Just give up. Struggling is useless."

Li Shimin was not angry after hearing this, and smiled and said: "Brother, I have to thank you. I don't know what you did to Yuanji that made Yuanji go directly to Lingnan, especially the ambush Yuanji encountered in Lingnan. Brother is really good at tricks and has a cruel heart. He even wants to pull me down in this way.

Big brother, no matter what, we are brothers after all, and it is too much to do this."

Li Shimin's counterattack immediately made Li Jiancheng angry, and he spoke immediately.

"Second brother, stop crying thief. Everyone knows what your relationship with Yuanji was. You want to not only deal with Yuanji, but also bring the matter to me. You are worthy of being the King of Qin, and even more worthy of being the General of Tiance appointed by my father.

This plan kills two birds with one stone, it's really a good idea. Someone is so cruel as to do such a thing. I believe Yuanji can also see clearly who is harming him.

King Qin, you will not succeed, stop it, you have no chance of winning. "

After hearing this, Li Shimin put away his smile and looked at Li Jiancheng seriously.

"Brother, the outcome has not yet been decided. It is not certain who will win or lose. I only believe that man can conquer nature!
Yuanji, you can't pull me over. I said that because I have let go of everything in the past, Yuanji is my good brother. "

The two of them exchanged a lot of verbal attacks, each trying to undermine the other's confidence and make the other lose face. In the end, the verbal attacks seemed useless and the two separated again.

This kind of scene has happened to the two of them many times. Whenever they are close to each other, they won't stop talking, as if they are determined to determine the winner with their mouths.

Not long after the two returned, Li Yuan's edict was conveyed. When they learned the result, they were stunned.

For no other reason, Li Yuan did not choose either Changsun Wuji or Wei Ting, but instead chose Cen Wenben who had just returned to report on his work. Both of them were surprised.

Cen Wenben was not from any faction and did not stand on any side. The two of them knew about Cen Wenben because of Cen Weiben's justice for his father. Later, he was valued by Li Yuan and went to Jingzhou. They didn't expect that Li Yuan would send this person now.

Changsun Wuji became the deputy envoy, but Wei Ting got nothing. He was just a member without any other identity.
