My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 73 Power is a game that eats people
"False? Haha!"

Hearing Lao Li's words, Wang Yuan laughed outright, and spread his whole body on the chair:
"So, Lao Li, you can only be a businessman in this life, because you don't understand the emperor's mind at all!"

"Even as a bystander, you can't see the real situation in the palace!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute, but saluted again:
"My lord, I know I'm stupid, so can you explain your words a little bit more clearly?"

"Understand? That's fine!"

Wang Yuan stood up like a carp, then picked up his chopsticks and dipped them in the wine.

Then I drew a big circle on the table, and at the same time drew three lines inside it, dividing the big circle into three parts.

"This big circle represents the imperial city."

"As for these three copies, one is the Supreme Emperor, one is the Crown Prince Jiancheng, and the other is Li Shimin, do you understand?"

"understand!"

Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, and Fang Xuanling nodded in agreement.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

This was the real situation in the imperial city before the change of Xuanwu Gate.

Qin Wang Li Shimin, because of his repeated military exploits, military achievements and prestige that no one can match, forcibly conquered half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and thus was named Tiance General, standing side by side with Prince Li Jiancheng in terms of prestige and achievements!

And this also paved the way for the subsequent turmoil!

Because one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!
"It's good to understand."

Wang Yuan smiled lightly, dipped in the wine again, added a small thread to "Li Shimin's" share, and cut off part of it. "

"Old Li, I wonder if you know Liu Wenjing?"

"Liu Wenjing!?"

Hearing this name, Li Shimin instantly became serious.

Just for a moment, his hands under the table unconsciously trembled and clenched, showing that he was not at peace!

Even Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui showed signs of dejection.

Liu Wenjing, how could they not know this name?

He has been a great hero who has been following Qin Wang Li Shimin since the rise of the army in Jinyang. He should have enjoyed a high official salary and a lifetime of glory and wealth.

But on the eve of victory, because he was dissatisfied with Pei Ji's higher official position than himself, he was convicted of a slip of the tongue after drinking, and was denounced by his concubine.

During the interrogation, he was framed by Pei Ji and executed by the Supreme Emperor. He became the first founding hero to be executed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!
In particular, before Liu Wenjing was executed, the phrase "The high birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden." This statement is true!" has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the three of them!

For Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Li Shimin, this is their best friend!

"It seems that you all know what happened to Liu Wenjing, so it will be easy."

Wang Yuan looked at their reactions, took his chopsticks again, and continued to explain.

"Ten years ago, the current Supreme Emperor was afraid of Li Er, and in order to quietly cut off the strength of the Qin Palace, he began to annex it for the first time!"

As he said that, the chopsticks directly erased the small line, and the part that belonged to Li Shimin was completely swallowed up by the Supreme Emperor.

It was just an ordinary stroke, but it carried an inexplicable chill, making their eyes slightly red.

"Three years ago, Li Er, who was driven to a dead end, took the lead in Xuanwu Gate and started the second annexation."

With a movement of the chopsticks, the two dividing lines in the three parts were wiped away, so that they merged into one, forming a huge mouth that occupied two-thirds of the entire "imperial city"!
"And not long ago, Li Er kicked Pei Ji out of Chang'an City, completing the third annexation!"

Moving the chopsticks again, cut off half of the part representing the "Taishanghuang", allowing it to merge with Jukou again.

"Actually, Lao Li, in the imperial city, people have been playing the game of cannibalism since ancient times!"

"The core and essence of the power struggle is cannibalism!"

"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps. If you want it to be completely peaceful, there is only one big circle left!"

"And now, it's only one step away!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Yuan stopped his chopsticks and sat down again.

But in front of him, after several changes, there were only two parts left in the big circle of his "imperial city".

And these two parts, one big and one small, are completely incomparable in size!
What it means is self-evident!

It is the embarrassing situation of the Supreme Emperor and the current emperor!

No matter how peaceful the situation on the surface is, their essence is still life and death!
At this time, the house was already dead silent!
Everyone at the dinner table was dumbfounded, they were all looking at Wang Yuan with the eyes of a monster, and their backs were covered in cold sweat!
There is no other reason, because Wang Gongzi's words are too terrifying. If it is spread, it will definitely be able to pierce the sky!

And with just a few paintings, the turbulence and treachery of the imperial city in the past ten years have been fully revealed!
He is obviously just a young man, but he has a better understanding of the situation in the imperial city than those of them who have struggled in it for several years!

Is this the true bystander is clear and the authorities are confused?

boom!
"Impossible! Things will never develop to that point!"

"The current Shengtianzi and the Supreme Emperor are father and son after all, and the Shengtianzi has no intention of murdering the Supreme Emperor. They will not go that far!"

"What kind of big mouth, what kind of circle, what kind of cannibalism, don't exist!"

"At the beginning, the Holy Son of Heaven personally confessed to the Supreme Emperor!"

In the dead silence, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, patted the table and stood up.

His expression was distorted, hiding the pain and sorrow.

Wang Yuan's words are really heartbreaking!

Could it be that Li Shimin is really the lone star of the devil?

It's not enough to kill his own brother, but also to wipe out his own father in order to secure the throne?
God was too cruel to him!
He really didn't want to believe all this!
"Naive! I can only say that you are really naive, Lao Li!"

"Even if Li Er really didn't have the heart to kill the Supreme Emperor? What about father and son?"

However, in the face of Lao Li's fierce performance, Wang Yuan smiled nonchalantly, pouted his lips and said:

"Old Li, in fact, you can think about it differently."

"If you were Li Yuan, in the Tai Chi Palace, seeing your son covered in blood, holding the heads of his younger brother and elder brother to apologize to you, what would you think?"

"Would that count as a plea to you?"

"Don't you think your son is a completely inhuman monster?"

"If you have the ability to resist, will you put your life and death entirely on this monster's happiness and anger, and give up all resistance?"

The more Wang Yuan spoke, the deeper his tone became, and in the end there was an inexplicable cold wind that made people shudder.

He was not surprised by Lao Li's reaction just now. After all, Lao Li's violent temper has not been a day or two.

But when he looked at the table, there was joy in his eyes.

Sure enough, hardwood tables are different!

monster?

In the eyes of the prince, is he a monster?
Facing the question of Wang Yuan's death, Li Shimin's face turned red, but at the same time, he was unable to utter a single rebuttal.

Because he couldn't answer.

In other words, he already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

of course not!

Unless he's out of his mind and completely insane, he won't entrust his life and death in the hands of a lunatic!
Even if this lunatic is actually his own son
