Chapter 20 My good brother!

Listening to the two people's words, Li Shimin also felt uncomfortable. This decision was not so easy to make, but when he thought of the figure that appeared in his mind, Li Shimin made a decision.

Afterwards, Li Shimin thought about this and felt a little angry towards Li Yuanji. This man spent so much effort just to drive him away? Was it really just for Li Jiancheng?

"I already know about this matter, so let's leave it at that. Tell me, is this really a conspiracy between the Crown Prince and the King of Qi?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji spoke directly.

"King of Qin, don't think about it. The Crown Prince and King of Qi must have colluded to come up with such a vicious plan. King of Qi is also a waste. He asked to go to Lingnan and gave up everything in Chang'an. He is an idiot!"

Changsun Wuji was very angry, even angrier than Li Shimin. After the Changsun family fell into decline, his ambition was to revitalize the family. Now he and Li Shimin are inseparable, and if Li Shimin is not doing well, he will not be doing well either.

At this time, Du Ruhui slowly said: "I think the King of Qi did not discuss this matter with the Crown Prince. Combined with what the King of Qin described, the Crown Prince obviously did not expect the King of Qi to change his mind and ask to go to Lingnan.

Especially the most important point is that we all know that the King of Qi’s acting skills are not so superb. Is it possible for him to be so natural?

What's more, Lingnan is such a cold and bitter place. The King of Qi brought his family, as well as the families of his soldiers and craftsmen. It was obvious that he had completely abandoned everything in Chang'an and settled down in Lingnan. He never thought about returning to Chang'an once the crown prince came to the throne.

Whether it was his self-defilement, the change in his attitude towards the King of Qin, or his request to go to Lingnan, away from the disputes in Chang'an, I felt that the King of Qi had suddenly come to his senses.

Because even if the crown prince takes the throne, can he really rest assured about the King of Qi? Isn't he afraid that what happened now will happen again? "

After Du Ruhui finished speaking, Changsun Wuji rarely refuted. Li Shimin also agreed in his heart. Now he realized that his younger brother had really changed.

Thinking about Li Yuanji's words of persuasion to him and Li Jiancheng, as well as his hesitant look, Li Shimin suddenly felt that he should let go of the past.

Li Shimin suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he really sat in that position in the future, as long as his good brother did not do anything wrong, it would be fine to hand over Lingnan to him. He would let Li Yuanji guard Lingnan for the Tang Dynasty.

As for returning to Chang'an? It's better not to go back, so as to avoid upsetting each other.

While Li Shimin was discussing here, Li Jiancheng in the Eastern Palace was also gathering people to discuss.

“Crown Prince, now that the King of Qi is going to Lingnan, this is an opportunity for us. The Saint has personally agreed to it and will issue an edict in two days for the King of Qi to go to Lingnan to guard the southwest for the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Turks are rampant, the King of Qi recommends the King of Qin so much, and the King of Qi can go to the bitter cold land of Lingnan to guard it for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. So, can the King of Qin also go to the north to become a barrier for the Tang Dynasty?

As long as the King of Qin leaves Chang'an and the King of Qi goes to Lingnan, the Crown Prince will be the only one in Chang'an. The sage will have no choice. As long as the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, the King of Qin will not pose any threat.

Moreover, Li Yi is now in Jingzhou. When the King of Qin goes to the north, he can only be at the mercy of the prince. No one will block the prince's way forward.

Prince, now that the King of Qi has created such a situation for you, you must not miss it. You should write to the sage and explain this matter. The King of Qin and the King of Qi have become a barrier for the Lingnan and the north for the Tang Dynasty. This will definitely be a great story and will set an excellent example for future generations. I believe that the sage will definitely understand the prince's painstaking efforts and the original intention of the King of Qi. "

After listening to Wang Gui's long speech, Li Jiancheng was immediately moved and became extremely excited.

He really had not thought that, through the matter of Li Yuanji, he could do this and completely expel Li Shimin's line from the court. As long as he stayed away from the center of the court, he, Li Shimin, would have no chance at all.

Li Jiancheng was very happy. Not only Li Jiancheng, but others also agreed with Wang Gui's idea. They thought that such a beautiful thing would be a good story passed down through the ages, and they must make it happen.

Li Jiancheng originally had Wei Ting under his command, who, together with Wang Gui, was mainly responsible for giving him advice. However, because of what Yang Wen had done, Wei Ting was directly exiled, causing him to lose a great talent.

These two people, one was from the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the other was from the Wei family of Jingzhao, while the Crown Princess was from the Zheng family of Xingyang. It can be said that those who followed Li Jiancheng were the most outstanding people from all the major families.

This was also created by Li Yuan. Li Shimin could not match Li Jiancheng's political influence. The aristocratic families all stood on Li Jiancheng's side. And in terms of influence in the military, Li Jiancheng was also not as good as Li Shimin.

As for Wei Zheng? His current status cannot be compared with these two people, although Li Jiancheng would also bring Wei Zheng to discuss things together.

Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and then spoke directly.

"Okay, let's do this! I will go and talk to the Saint myself, but this matter needs to be slow. The King of Qi must leave Chang'an. Then the Saint will be more determined!"

Li Jiancheng was really happy. He had always wanted to kill the King of Qin with a stick, and now his good brother had given him such a good opportunity by accident.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng suddenly felt a little guilty. How could he have thought that way about such a good brother?
If Li Shimin was completely expelled from the court, Li Yuanji would be the first meritorious official.

Li Jiancheng made up his mind that if this thing could be accomplished, when he came to power in the future, he would definitely treat his good brother well, for example, by sending him some good things to Lingnan?

As for returning to Chang'an, what Chang'an should we return to? Let's serve as a shield for the Tang Dynasty.

Then Li Jiancheng spoke again.

"Tell them to send more supplies to the King of Qi. After all, he is my brother and has helped me a lot. Now he is going to Lingnan. As his eldest brother, I cannot be petty."

Li Jiancheng was in a good mood, and so were the others. Everyone agreed to this arrangement. In their opinion, if it weren't for the sacrifice of the King of Qi, where would they find such a good opportunity?
In Taiji Palace, Li Yuan called Pei Ji and talked about Li Yuanji, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Li Yuan and Pei Ji chatted for a long time. Pei Ji said a lot, but he didn't say much. No one knew what the two talked about. Everything was the same as before.

Until Pei Ji walked out of Taiji Palace, he still didn't quite understand what Li Yuan meant. He wanted to pass on a message to Li Jiancheng, but thinking of Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji held back and did not reveal a single detail of what had happened this time.

However, in Chang'an, there seemed to be an undercurrent beginning to flow, but no one noticed.
