Chapter 546 Li Shimin's Fault (Second Change)
Chang'an City.

Inside Li Yuan's study.

Li Yuan, dressed in a dragon robe, sat in the study and read a letter from Youjing. After reading it, he rubbed the letter paper in his palm and sneered.

"The people who slaughter dogs in the market also want to be emperor, and you deserve it too," Li Yuan stood up and said disdainfully, "Wang Shichong's lessons from the past are still there. The day when everyone betrays their relatives is not far away from you."

In the study, the right servant of Shangshu shot Pei Ji, and Feng Deyi, the minister of internal history, was beside him, knowing that Li Yuan was not angry about Li Chongjiu's proclaiming emperor.People who were dormant under Li Yuan in the past are now on an equal footing with Li Yuan.It's not normal that Li Yuan didn't speak bad words.

Li Yuan asked, "Pei Qing, is there any news from Hebei these days?"

Pei Ji said: "According to the news from secret agents, Zhao Jun has just repelled the Turkic invasion for more than a month after two battles, and his vitality has not yet recovered. What's more, the land of Hebei has just fallen, and Li Chongjiu's foundation is not stable. Now he seems to be recuperating. Rui, there is no sign of going south for the time being."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "The monitoring of Hebei must not be ignored. Li Zhongwen, the governor of Bingzhou; Li Chen, the governor of Jiangzhou, Xiangwu Wang; Report me immediately!"

Feng Deyi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhongwen is Li Mitang's uncle. Li Mi dared to rebel. It is hard to say whether Li Zhongwen has anything to do with it. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to entrust him to guard one side now. There are also Zhao Jun's children in the court. It's about monitoring."

Li Yuan said: "It makes sense, but Li Zhongwen is Sanniang's subordinate, let him control it, you can rest assured."

Li Yuan said again immediately: "At present, our army's first priority is to capture Luoyang. I have issued an edict to order Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, to be the general manager of the Jingxiang Road march, and Li Jing to be the commander of the march. Large-scale warships will be deployed along the Yangtze River to attack downstream. Xiao Mian's situation made him dare not send troops northward from Xiangyang to reinforce Luoyang."

After hearing this, Pei Ji said immediately: "Your Majesty is wise. In the north there are Li Zhongwen, King Xiangwu, King Huai'an, and the princess to monitor Li Chongjiu, while in the south there is King Hejian, Li Jing monitors Xiao Xian, and Du Fuwei is used by me. Under attack, Wang Shichong is like a turtle in a urn."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan and Pei Ji clapped their hands and laughed.

Li Yuan did have this confidence. With Li Tang's current power, he was capable of going to war with Zheng, Zhao, and Liang at the same time. As long as Luoyang was broken, Wang Shichong would be captured without a fight, and the power of the world would be broken.Li Tang can take advantage of the trend and sweep the world.

While the two were talking, suddenly the eunuch outside said: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Zhongshu, Yu Wenshi, please see me!"

After hearing this, Li Yuan said, "Quickly declare!"

Not long after, Yuwen Shiji entered the room, but when he saw Li Yuan, he bowed down and cried, "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime!"

Li Yuan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Yuwen Aiqing, didn't you go to Luoyang as an envoy? Why are you guilty? Could it be that something happened to Luoyang? Did King Qin suffer a defeat?"

Yuwen Shiji said with tears: "Your Majesty, King Qin did not lose the battle, but Her Highness the Princess, Her Highness the Princess..."

Li Yuan shook his body when he heard this, and sat on the couch. Pei Ji and others stepped forward together and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Get out of the way, I can still hold on!" Li Yuan waved his hand, letting the left and right push away, "Although you say it, don't hesitate, tell me the truth!"

"No," Yu Wenhuaji also squeezed out a few tears, took out a book from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is His Highness King Qin's apology memorial, please read it."

Yu Wenhuaji put it on Li Yuan's case at the moment, Li Yuan raised his right hand to hold the memorial, his sleeves trembled slightly as he read it.

After reading it, when Li Yuan closed the memorial, he said in a trembling voice, "I am already 56 years old this year, and a white-haired man gives away a black-haired man. The sky treats me so poorly!"

All the ministers knelt down together and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the dead cannot be brought back to life, so please mourn."

Li Yuanyi was lying on the couch with red and swollen eyes. After closing his eyes and contemplating for a while, he suddenly looked at Yuwen Shiji.

Li Yuan's eyes were like knives, he pointed at Yuwen Shiji with a memorial in his hand, and said sharply: "When Pingyang was in Heyang, why did King Qin suddenly summon her to Luoyang?"

Yuwen Shiji said: "I heard that it is the delivery of military affairs."

"In my opinion, it's borrowing a knife to kill someone!"

As soon as Li Yuan's words came out, the room was filled with coldness, and all the ministers on the left and right bowed their heads.Yuwen Shiji said: "Your Majesty, there is no evidence to kill someone with a knife."

Even Pei Ji, who had always favored Li Jiancheng, also said: "Your Majesty, this battle is coming soon, so don't doubt the general easily. Perhaps Wang Shichong deliberately got the news and ambushed Princess Pingyang to embarrass the King of Qin. It is also possible."

Li Yuan looked at the ministers, slammed the table and said: "Do you all think I am an old fool? There are rumors that the King of Qin intends to capture Luoyang and stand on his own. I ordered Princess Pingyang to dispatch troops. It is no coincidence that he pushes back and forth, and let my beloved daughter die at this time, King Qin's heart of self-respect in supporting the army is already obvious, and he even ignored the relationship between brother and sister."

"I am determined to give up his military power and recall him to Chang'an, otherwise it will be a legacy of raising tigers!"

Li Yuan was like this, even Pei Ji stopped persuading him now, in order to save Li Shimin from offending him, he had already tried to persuade him, and he would not be able to blame him in the future.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Li Yuan saw that it was Yuwen Shiji, and said slightly displeased: "What do you have to say?"

Yuwen Shiji said: "Your Majesty is currently in a rage, can you think of the disadvantages of changing the commander?"

"Say!"

Yuwen Shiji said: "There is no evidence yet whether His Royal Highness King Qin killed someone with a knife. If King Qin has nothing to do with this matter, and the death of His Royal Highness Princess has made King Qin very self-blame, then His Majesty hastily concluded that King Qin was related to this matter. Wouldn't it be even more unfair to King Qin?" , so that King Qin felt resentful, and hurt the relationship between father and son."

"Everyone doesn't want to see something happen to the princess, but people can't be resurrected after death, so reprimanding the King of Qin will not help the matter. Not only can His Majesty not blame the King of Qin at this moment, but he must issue an edict to appease the King of Qin to show the emperor's tolerance. The King of Qin felt guilty, I am also grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven. There is no other way but to repay Luoyang with death. This is not as good as using the past. And if your majesty changes commanders in front of the battle and suspects the King of Qin, he will only be defeated by the King of Qin and the [-] soldiers of the Eastern Expedition. Under such a drastic change, if the King of Qin takes the risk, Datang will not only lose Luoyang."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Shiji paused and said: "Your Majesty wants the King of Qin to return to his heart, or is he renounced? Do you think that my pain in the Tang Dynasty, becoming Li Chongjiu, and Wang Shichong's speed are all in your Majesty's mind. I implore Your Majesty to be careful."

Hearing Yuwen Shiji's words, Li Yuan was startled suddenly, stepped forward to help Yuwen Shiji up and said: "It's Yuwen Renren who understands what happened, I almost made a big mistake."

Li Yuan immediately said: "Yuwen Aiqing, you should go back to Luoyang immediately and tell the king of Qin that no one is willing to do Pingyang. Let him use his troops with peace of mind to capture the Luoyang squadron and return to Chang'an as soon as possible."

Hearing what Li Yuan said, Pei Ji, Yuwen Shiji and Moment breathed a sigh of relief.
