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

Chapter 166: Zhangsun Wuji’s hatred, Li Jiancheng took the lead

Li Yuanji did not consider himself a good person. He was afraid of trouble in Chang'an. After all, his life was not in his own hands there. Now that he was here, he was not afraid of so many things.

When Cen Wenben arrived, Li Yuanji first told Cen Wenben what had just happened, and then he spoke slowly.

"Are you confused as to why I am targeting him so much and even want to kill him? He once wanted to kill me and teamed up with Feng Xuan to kill me. At that time, I was weak and had no direct evidence, so I did not kill him.

Now this person has come to Lingnan. He really doesn't know his place. After taking action against Shufang, you should just send them both back. Use your status as the envoy to let them go back.

He is lucky this time, I will have to take his life later."

Cen Wenben's heart sank. He had already anticipated the ambush that Changsun Wuji would face, but he did not expect it to come true.

After a while, Cen Wenben slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Saint has already dealt with this matter coldly. Previously, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin were both hit by the Saint, and they gradually recovered their power later. Moreover, Feng Xuan seemed to have disappeared after being taken away by the Saint. No one knows his whereabouts.

I think he must have been killed secretly by the saint. The saint's attitude is self-evident. Even if the king writes again about this matter, it will be suppressed by the saint. In the face of the saint's attitude, even if the prince wants to take any action, he cannot do so. It will only offend the saint. I think the prince will not pursue this issue relentlessly.

Unless the king joins forces with the prince to force the sage to let the King of Qin hand over Zhangsun Wuji, it would be impossible to shake the King of Qin's power just for Zhangsun Wuji.

I suggest that this matter can be revealed to Wei Ting, and he can be given some more information. Now that the Crown Prince and the King of Qin are fighting fiercely, let the Crown Prince go first and try to see if he can make any progress through this matter. The King cannot show up.

If the saint's attitude changes, I suggest that Your Majesty get involved then and completely suppress the power of the King of Qin through this incident. After all, it is impossible for Zhang Sun Wuji to do such a thing alone. Even if there is no evidence, other people in the King of Qin's mansion can be taken away by then.

The sage will be dissatisfied no matter what, but now the king is the victim and the prince is the vanguard. The sage will hate the prince even more. The prince and the king of Qin have lost their power, which will be an opportunity for the king. "

Li Yuanji listened quietly. After listening, Li Yuanji couldn't help but sigh that Cen Wenben's arrangement was undoubtedly the most suitable for him. However, this suitability had a prerequisite, that is, he had to return to Chang'an to compete for that position.

As long as what Cen Wenben said, Li Yuan would do so under pressure, which would inevitably lead to a further breakdown in the relationship between him and Li Shimin. The King of Qin would gradually lose power. Li Jiancheng would offend Li Yuan, and Li Yuan would not be in a good mood either. And he was the victim, so Li Yuan might even support him at that time.

But Li Yuanji was unwilling to do so. Going back to Chang'an? He really had no such plan. In his eyes, this place was much better than Chang'an. As long as he became more powerful, he would not be afraid of who was in charge in Chang'an.

Moreover, Li Shimin was not a man who would surrender without a fight. If he was really pushed into a corner, Li Yuanji knew very well that Li Shimin might do anything.

Li Yuanji stopped thinking about it and spoke.

"Jingren, what you said is very good, but I am not going to do it. Don't worry about the rest. After Shufang takes action, you just need to send Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin back. Don't do anything else."

Cen Wenben sighed in his heart. In his opinion, Li Yuanji cared too much about the friendship between brothers and could not bring himself to do it.

"Your Majesty is so kind, I will go down and prepare now."

Li Yuanji didn't know that Cen Wenben actually thought this way. If he knew, he would definitely sneer at him. Caring about brotherhood? The relationship between the three brothers had long been shattered. Now they are all thinking about killing each other. How can there be any love?

Even if there was, it was just for show to others, for Li Yuan to see. Didn't he do that for money, food and various supplies?

On the other side, Xie Shufang had already picked up Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin. The three of them were silent. There was really nothing to say, only hatred.

As Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin walked out of the dock, the various changes here and the new things they saw continued to impact their minds. Then Cheng Yaojin could not help but ask, and Xie Shufang did not hide anything and told them everything.

After understanding for a while, Xie Shufang took the two to the place where sugar was made, but he used the excuse that he had something to deal with. Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin stood here, waiting for a long time but Xie Shufang did not come back, and they were both hesitant.

"Should we go in and take a look? You should know the importance of this sugar. If the king had sugar, the Qin Palace wouldn't be so tight on money, and the army of the palace could even be expanded. Now we just wait like this. What if Uncle Xie doesn't take us in to see it?"

Cheng Yaojin asked Changsun Wuji. He knew very well that Xie Shufang had not returned for such a long time, so he must have gone to discuss with Li Yuanji. Bai Tang and the others had also seen it. He really had some ideas about such a good thing.

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji shook his head.

"It's better not to go in. What should we do if the King of Qi causes trouble for this? Such an important place must be heavily guarded. Let's just wait here."

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin glanced at Changsun Wuji and said nothing more. He knew that Changsun Wuji was afraid of death and was afraid of giving Li Yuanji an excuse.

Xie Shufang drank tea and waited for more than two hours. Seeing that the two still did not go in, he had to get up and go. After a casual conversation, he took the two to continue walking around. Then he took them to the place where colored glass was made, and Xie Shufang took them directly in.

"This is where colored glaze is made. You can see these colored glazes, right? They are all made here. However, the output is small and the production is very difficult."

While Xie Shufang was explaining, a man came up to Xie Shufang. Xie Shufang gave the two of them some instructions and left. This time, Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji did not stop, but looked at the colored glass until they saw a large colored glass of very good quality. They walked closer and reached out to touch it. As soon as they touched it, they saw the colored glass fall to the ground. Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened immediately.

At this time they all realized that it was a trap!

However, before they could think too much, a team of soldiers came up to them and captured them directly. Cheng Yaojin did not dare to resist because there were three people holding crossbows pointing at them. Obviously, if he dared to resist, he would die.

After a while, Xie Shufang came over, looked at the broken glass, and glared at the two of them.

"What are you doing? Do you know that the king has been preparing this piece of colored glaze for a long time and wants to present it to the saint? It took him three months to make it by chance, and now it is just this piece! And now you have broken it.

When I left, I warned you, why didn't you listen? "

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything. At this time he had already understood. It was Xie Shufang, no, it was Li Yuanji who was clearly trying to get him punished, even if it meant paying such a large piece of top-quality glass.

Cheng Yaojin stared at Xie Shufang with his eyes wide open and gritted his teeth.

"This piece of glass was not destroyed by us, it fell down by itself!" Xie Shufang smiled coldly after hearing this.

"What a joke! This piece of glass has been lying here without any problems. Now that you are here, you say it fell down? Who would believe that?

You destroyed the glass that the king had carefully prepared and presented to the saint, and you should have been beheaded. However, the two of you have come here in response to the saint's edict and are deputy envoys, so you can be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living.

Come, drag these two away, beat them with thirty military sticks, and then tell the angel to send them back to Chang'an immediately and hand them over to the saint for personal punishment! "

After Xie Shufang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin looked at him in disbelief, but in the end, neither of them said a word.

With thirty military sticks, Cheng Yaojin could still resist, but Changsun Wuji?

At this moment, Changsun Wuji's heart was full of murderous intent. He dared to guarantee that as long as he returned to Chang'an alive this time, he would avenge this revenge in the future!
Xie Shufang went to Li Yuanji, and Cen Wenben also appeared after Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji were beaten. Now Changsun Wuji was dying, and Cheng Yaojin was sweating profusely and looked listless. It can be seen that Cheng Yaojin was not feeling well either.

Cen Wenben asked the doctor to examine the two men and gave Cheng Yaojin the normal treatment. As for Changsun Wuji, as long as no one died, he would not care about him anymore. Then Cen Wenben asked the two men to go back. Neither of them answered. Cen Wenben arranged a team of people to escort the two men.

Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin ended their journey to Lingnan in this way. Along the way, they were either suffering or on the way to suffering.

Li Yuanji didn't say anything after knowing this. As for the further deterioration of the relationship, he was no longer afraid. Who cares? As long as he felt comfortable, it was fine. If Changsun Wuji had not killed him and was aiming for his life, he would not have done this.

After Wei Ting learned about this, he felt extremely heavy. At this moment, he was certain that Li Yuanji's being killed was closely related to the Qin Palace, and had the greatest relationship with Zhangsun Wuji.

Then he sighed again, why didn't Li Yuanji be more ruthless and beat the two men to death directly? Now he could only hope that the two men died on the road.

In the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, Li Yuan received the gifts and memorials sent by Li Yuanji, as well as the letter sent by Cen Wenben.

When Li Yuan finished reading them one by one, he pondered for a long time, and finally laughed suddenly.

"I didn't expect that you have become so capable after leaving Chang'an. I really misjudged you before. It's good that you have the strength now. I want to see if the Crown Prince and the King of Qin dare to continue. I am just old, not dead.

I really didn't expect this, Erlang, oh Erlang, how could you be so cruel? Even though you two don't get along, he is still your brother."

Li Yuan talked to himself, and at this moment he did not seem to be angry.

After a while, Li Yuan issued an edict, ordering Kong Yingda to go to Lingnan and serve under the Prince of Qi's Palace.

Then Li Yuan spoke again.

"Send an imperial decree, and have the Crown Prince and the King of Qin come immediately!"

In the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng summoned Wang Gui, Li Gang, Wei Zheng and others to discuss important matters. The reason was not for anything else, but because of the letter sent by Wei Ting from Lingnan. After reading it, Li Jiancheng was drooling over Lingnan. No, to be precise, he was drooling over Li Yuanji.

He really didn't expect that all these good things were created by Li Yuanji. If Li Yuanji had such ability, he would definitely worship Li Yuanji and use these to increase his reputation and make his position more stable.

Another thing that made him grit his teeth was that Wei Ting speculated that the ambush that Li Yuanji encountered was related to Li Shimin, especially Changsun Wuji, who was highly suspected.

Li Jiancheng was really angry. He was punished by Li Yuan for no reason. After all this time, he found out that it was really Li Shimin who did it. Li Jiancheng was not only angry, but also very alarmed.

Since Li Shimin dared to attack Li Yuanji, would he dare to attack him as well?

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng trembled.

After Wang Gui and others below saw this, Wang Gui immediately looked at Li Jiancheng.

"Crown Prince, I think we can put aside the matter of the King of Qi in Lingnan for now. The most important thing is Zhengping's guess. I agree with this guess. The Saint has already made it clear that he does not want to pursue this matter. I think the Saint can guess it, but he has not confirmed who it is.

We thought it was someone else before, but now it seems that it must be the Prince of Qin's Mansion. Since the Prince of Qin could kill the Prince of Qi, he would definitely kill the Prince as well.

However, there is no evidence in this matter and we cannot report it to the emperor. What we can do now is to eliminate the hidden danger of the King of Qin.

Now the Huns are invading Lingzhou and Shuozhou. Jie Li is fighting with Lin Yu, the governor of Daizhou, in Xincheng. Now Jie Li is powerful and Lin Yu may not be able to defeat him, so the King of Qin can lead his troops to fight. Even if the King of Qin cannot go out, the generals of the Qin Palace must be sent out.

Cangzhou, Xingzhou, Jinzhou, Youzhou and other places are all occupied by the troops of our East Palace generals. No matter if it is the King of Qin or the generals of the King of Qin’s Palace, as long as they go there, they will not cause any trouble! "

Now Jie Li is indeed invading Lingzhou and Shuozhou, but everyone seems to think that Jie Li's focus is on Shuozhou. The Tang Dynasty has also invested the most military forces in this area. In history, in addition to Daizhou, Jie Li can be seen in Luzhou, Bingzhou and other places.

Li Jing also sent troops out of Luzhou Road at that time, which resulted in more and more Tang troops on this side, while Lingzhou was empty, which gave Jie Li a great opportunity. After Li Shimin won the victory in Chang'an, he sent Yuchi Gong to lead a small number of Tang troops to fight in Jingzhou to buy time for the mobilization of the main army. As a result, only a small number of Turks were intercepted. Jie Li ignored him at all, which led to Jie Li accidentally killing his way to Weishui.

Jie Li was really cunning. He sent troops in two directions every time. In addition, Jie Li always appeared in Daizhou and fought many battles. This made the Tang Dynasty think that the main force of the Turks was always here. In the end, Jie Li suddenly attacked Chang'an and the army had no time to return to defend.

What's more coincidental is that Li Jiancheng had quite a few generals in the north, and many of Li Shimin's troops could not be mobilized. Many of them rebelled later. Fortunately, Li Shimin had some ability and appeased most of them, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would have faced a new round of internal strife.

It can also be seen from here that even though Li Jiancheng spent more time as regent, his influence in the army was also considerable, just like Li Shimin in the court. He was just weaker than Li Jiancheng, which did not mean he was not weaker.

Now Wang Gui’s words once again confirmed that everyone has focused their attention on Daizhou and ignored Lingzhou.

This hidden danger was not directly exposed until Li Shimin came to power.
