Chapter 27 Butt determines the head (One update)

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji sat alone, and there was not even a single servant beside him. Li Yuanji told him everything he saw and heard in Chen Ying's mansion.

When Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuanji's retelling, he pondered for a long time: "So, Erlang said goodbye to Chen Ying and Sanniang?"

Li Yuanji smiled coldly and said, "Brother, do you believe Erlang will go to the third sister's mansion for no reason? I'm afraid that he would say something inconveniently in front of me. I don't think of the so-called farewell words. He is willing to leave Chang'an? As long as he dares to leave, the people in the Qin Palace will go their separate ways in three months. I guess there is no one around him except Changsun Wuji, the fat man!"

There is actually a certain reason for Li Yuanji's words. Li Shimin is not the crown prince, he is just the King of Qin. It is precisely because he has the opportunity to fight for the throne that a group of people who are on the bench will burn Li Shimin's stove. If Li Shimin fails, their fate will not be much worse. Once Li Shimin succeeds, they will get a hundred times or ten thousand times of return.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "My father told me about Erlang leaving Liangzhou. I didn't agree. I just wanted Erlang to leave Luoyang."

"Brother, you... are crazy!" Li Yuanji regretted it as he said, but he changed his words: "Brother, Sanhu has lost his words."

Li Jiancheng said disapprovingly: "Don't you understand the reason why I did this?"

Li Yuanji said with some dissatisfaction: "Of course I don't understand. What's wrong with asking him to go to the place where birds don't poop? As long as he goes to Liangzhou, it will not be that easy to go back to Chang'an."

"Different, different!" Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "In Chang'an, we can discover what small actions we have under our noses in time, prevent them, or take timely response measures. But if he goes to Liangzhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, we don't know what actions we have in secret."

Li Yuanji said disapprovingly: "Brother, you are thinking too much. What else can he do in the broken place in Liangzhou?"

"Liangzhou is the Grand Governor's Office, the third rank. If he goes to Liang, he will definitely be sent by the Minister of the Longyou Daoxingtai, and will be arrested with civil and military personnel. Think about the 19 prefectures and 74 counties under Liangzhou. In three or five years, he will become the king of the northwest of our Tang Dynasty. If the court doesn't do it well, it depends on his expression. Don't forget that the Qin Liang land has a strong civilian custom, and it is a place where strong military forces come from."

"Qinliang's land is too barren, what will he use to support his army?" Li Yuanji didn't want Li Shimin to be in Chang'an City at all, hoping that Li Shimin would be sent to the farther away, as better. It would be best if he could be sent to Lingnan and become the king of Lingnan.

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't forget Chen Ying, in the poor place of Lingzhou, he was like him, and he had just pulled out more than 30,000 elite troops. Erlang's jurisdiction was ten times larger than Lingzhou. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui under Erlang's command were all talented in thousands. If he managed Liangzhou, he might be able to succeed. Qin and Liang connected to the Western Regions, connect the southern and northern deserts, and were a place that must be fought for by military strategists. However, the strength of the Western Regions is too weak. If Erlang operated in Liangzhou for several years and continued to use troops to the Western Regions, the Western Regions countries would be unstoppable. At that time, Erlang had the merit of expanding territory for thousands of miles, let alone this palace, even his father would not be able to stop Erlang from returning strongly..."

Li Yuanji couldn't help but hold his breath, and fine beads of sweat emerged from his forehead. Li Jiancheng had already said that Li Shimin's heart is like a tiger and his body is like a pine and cypress. He seems to be very kind and generous, but it is not a ruthless crime. For his own selfish interests, perhaps his ability is insufficient, but if he has such ambition, he will never stop halfway. In other words, Li Shimin will definitely kill people for his own goals.

Li Shimin trapped in Chang'an was not worth worrying about, because whether his Shangshu Ling or General Tiance were actually empty titles. Without Li Yuan's imperial edict, Li Shimin would be an empty shell.

But if he really wanted to go to Liangzhou to operate for several years, he would definitely be able to build tens of thousands of elite strong troops in Liangzhou, and to destroy the country and capture the king for dozens of reasons or intimidation, the real big trouble would be.

Seeing that Li Yuanji was so powerful, Qiqiai Ai said, "Then... the big brother means..."

Li Jiancheng said: "Give Erlang two roads, either leave Luoyang and serve as the Luoyang Yin, or stay in Chang'an and serve as the Shangshu Ling."

In fact, neither of these two roads are good. First, when he left Luoyang, he seemed to be a powerful official. The key is that Chen Ying's official position as the Henan Road Advisor, the official position of Chen Ying was not removed. If Li Shimin went to Luoyang to serve as the Luoyang Yin, then Li Shimin would become Chen Ying's subordinate official. I think Chen Ying would not make things difficult for Li Shimin, but he would not be comfortable, because Chen Ying's military power could not be moved.

It is probably even more tragic to stay in Chang'an and serve as the Minister of Shangshu Ling, because the Secretary Zuo Pushe was Pei Ji. Pei Ji has always regarded himself as the leader of the Secretary of Shangshu Province. Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji competed for power. As a result, Liu Wenjing, one of the founding fathers, died miserably. Li Shimin would probably be much younger if he wanted to fight Pei Ji.

When Li Yuanji heard this, he said with a smile: "Brother, this is really wonderful..."

Before Li Yuanji finished speaking, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the hall. Since Li Jiancheng ordered that no one should approach within thirty steps of the hall, the foot sound did not mean to stop. I think something must have happened, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked in the sound at the same time.

I saw Yuchi Gong wearing armor and walking in a clang. Twenty steps away from Li Jiancheng, Yuchi Gong bowed and said, "I will meet the prince!"

Li Yuanji looked at Yuchi Gong, and his eyes lit up and said with a smile: "I heard that General Yuchi is good at using horse spears?"

Yuchi Gong replied lightly: "Report to His Highness, the last general only understands it!"

"Don't be humble, find some time to discuss!" Li Yuanji clapped his hands and said, "I have a good clan named Xue Wuhen, which is the Western Ji BMW in all parts of the world. As long as you win this king, Xue Wuhen will be yours."

Li Jiancheng shouted at Li Yuanji with a stern face: "Don't mess around with the three Hus!"

Li Jiancheng said to Yuchi Gong again: "General Yuchi, what happened?"

Yuchi Gong said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, just received the news that General Luo Shixin, the Zuowuhou, was killed in Duanmen Lane, and his life was in danger!"

"What?" Li Jiancheng's face suddenly changed.

Youdao is that the butt determines the head, and the head determines the thoughts. The position is different, and the way of thinking is different. When he heard Luo Shixin assassin, Li Jiancheng subconsciously pointed the finger at King Qin Li Shimin.

Because, this matter is very simple. Li Yuan threw Li Shimin's request to release Liangzhou to Li Jiancheng for handling. Obviously, Li Yuan did not agree with Li Shimin's release from Liangzhou. The situation was different from what Li Jiancheng thought.

Li Yuan originally supported Li Shimin to check and balance Li Jiancheng. Now Li Shimin has quit and asked to let go and be a lazy prince. Naturally, Li Yuan would not agree.

However, Li Jiancheng's handling opinions were also handed over. I'm afraid Li Shimin had a channel to learn about these two paths. If he was considering them from Li Shimin's perspective, he would not choose either path because he was not satisfied with either.

To break such a resolution, the only way is to create a big case in the court and attract everyone's attention. Then Luo Shixin became the primary goal.

Luo Shixin was a general under Chen Ying, under the Eastern Palace Gate. However, at this moment, Luo Shixin was promoted to General Zuowuhou and became a third-rank senior. This was a deputy in the military region of a relatively large area in later generations. Assassination of such a general would definitely cause severe shock in the court. Li Shimin could hide behind the scenes, give instructions on the country, and inspire words.

...

Chen Ying stayed outside Luo Shixin's house for a whole night, and even Li Xiuning tried to persuade him, Chen Ying was not moved. Chen Ying was very guilty. He knew that Luo Shixin was beheaded by Liu Heita in the fourth year of Wude in history. However, in this time and space, Liu Heita had been beheaded by Luo Shixin's formation, but Chen Ying never expected that Luo Shixin would be assassinated.

Chen Ying really couldn't understand why Luo Shixin was assassinated. Luo Shixin was different from Chen Ying. Chen Ying still had some enemies, but Luo Shixin was a pure person and he had no enemies at all. He would not cause trouble. But at this moment, Luo Shixin was assassinated.

Chen Ying's brain was running quickly, analyzing the people who assassinated Luo Shixin. Duanyang Gate was already the inner city gate. At this location, ordinary people or wealthy families were not allowed to hold crossbows. If you can get the crossbows to the position of Duanyang Gate, you must have a certain force.

However, there are too many wealthy families in Chang'an. To put it bluntly, if a brick hits three people, two of them are probably from wealthy families.

Chen Huairen personally operated Luo Shixin, took out the arrowhead, bandaged the wound, cleared heat and detoxified, and after all this, it was almost dawn.

Chen Ying watched Chen Huairen come out of the room and quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is Luo Shixin's injury?"

Chen Huairen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "Fortunately, General Luo's armor is strong, and the arrowhead only pierces a layer, and it does not reach the inner cavity. If it weren't for the arrowhead's hook kiss, the poison had been relieved, and General Luo would not be seriously injured."

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment, Guo Luo did not bring back useful news.

After an hour of appointment, Luo Shixin woke up. Luo Shixin shouted: "I'm starving to death!"

Chen Ying hurriedly asked someone to prepare meals for Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin swallowed it voraciously, and the wind blew the clouds. After a while, he drank a large pot of porridge. Luo Shixin wiped his mouth and said, "Brother Chen is worried. You must be checking who is dealing with me at this time, right?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I'm already checking, but I don't have any clues yet. Brother Luo, don't worry, no matter who it is, I will not let him go!"

"Don't check it!" Luo Shixin looked at Chen Ying and said.

Chen Ying said in surprise: "Why?"

"I know who the person who is taking action!" Luo Shixin said: "And he is not ready to kill me. With his archery technique, if he wants to kill me, I can't avoid it at all. He knows that I have worn two layers of armor. If I aim at my throat, eyes, and face, I'm afraid I'll be a corpse at this time! He will take action against me, and he must have a last resort. Brother Chen, promise me not to investigate and not to speak out!"

"I have nothing to say about this matter!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Yesterday I had used the power of the tiger Yicong to investigate the assassin and also informed the Eastern Palace. After all, this is Chang'an City, and it is under the feet of the emperor!"

Luo Shixin sighed and said, "Do me a favor and send him out of Chang'an City before someone else catches him."

Chen Ying asked in surprise: "Who?"

Luo Shixin said: "Wang Bodang!"
