Chapter 39: New Year's Greetings from the Palace (4)

Because I have something to do temporarily, I have only returned home now. I hope you all forgive me!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"I have two strategies for my uncle to refer to."

Yin Qingfeng sat down with his head on his arm for a night, and now he looked quite energetic.

But Li Shimin's condition seemed to have not improved much, and he was still pale and haggard. However, when he heard that Yin Qingfeng had come up with two solutions, he was excited and looked rosy on his face, "Tell me quickly."

"One strategy is to solve the problem by force, and the other strategy is to fight against the literature."

Li Shimin's lips moved twice, trying to say something, but when he saw Yin Qingfeng's calm gaze, he nodded twice and waited for Yin Qingfeng to continue speaking.

"The solution by force does not mean that the uncle raises up and attacks the opponent directly, but that he takes step by step to make the opponent feel that if he doesn't take action, their lives will be lost. In other words, once the two sides fight in the end, the uncle will have no choice but to fight back."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, "Then tell me quickly, how can I force them to harm me first?"

Yin Qingfeng shook his head, "I don't know anything about the power of my uncle and what kind of help the other party can help him. I think the uncle's adviser will help the uncle make plans."

Li Shimin thought about it and the same reason, "Then tell me that Wen Dou did this?"

"Just just now, it was to show the enemy that it was strong, while it was to show the enemy that it was weak."

"Show the enemy to be weak..." Li Shimin thought about the meaning of these four words in his mind.

"For example, disband the Tengce Mansion."

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly opened, "Dissolve the Tiance Mansion?"

It is not surprising that Yin Qingfeng's reaction to Li Shimin is not a little bit strange.

What is Tiance Mansion? In Yin Qingfeng's view, it is the root of disaster, but in Li Shimin's view, it is the basis. In fact, the root of disaster and the basis are essentially the same, but the perspective of looking at the problem is different.

The ancient reward system was to be promoted once a victory. Li Shimin used to set up a position in Shanxi, seize Guanzhong, destroy Xue Ju, and pacify Li Gui, and now he destroyed Wang Shichong, expanding the power of Li Tang outside Guanzhong. How could Li Yuan reward him? So, there was the Tiance Mansion.

As General Tiance, Li Shimin can recruit talents by himself, namely the so-called "Xu's own official subordinates" and "Kaifu Jianya". This means that Tiance is a small court.

As for the "big" court where Li Jiancheng lived, the people in the Tiance Mansion were all loyal to Li Shimin. However, not everyone Li Jiancheng faced every day was loyal to him.

Li Yuan allowed Li Shimin to establish the Tiance Mansion to facilitate the war of unification, or because the rewards were undesirable, or wanted to balance between his two sons, only Li Yuan himself could explain this clearly.

However, for Li Jiancheng, after having the Tiance Mansion, he could only give up his brotherhood and desperately suppress Li Shimin's power to ensure his status. Even if Li Shimin had not yet had the idea of ​​replacing it, then his civil and military officials did not want to be a minister who followed the dragon?

If you cannot become a minister who follows the dragon, it means that when the Tiance Mansion is disbanded, their wealth and glory will turn into clouds and smoke. Who is willing to do so?

Whether Li Shimin was bewitched or he himself had ambitions. From the day the decree of the founding of the Tiance Mansion, the two Li Jiancheng brothers had no way out. Whoever was cruel would survive, and there was no second way to go.

So, it would be strange if Li Shimin was not excited when he heard Yin Qingfeng say that he wanted him to disband the Tiance Mansion.

"When my nephew first made a living by selling soap, he heard a little story from a Hu merchant's mouth."

Li Shimin was stunned and swallowed the questions he wanted to ask again, listening to Yin Qingfeng's nonsense.

"The Hu Shang is from Persia, and this story takes place in his hometown. My nephew didn't feel much emotion after hearing it, but my nephew accidentally thought of this story last night and thought that my uncle might be able to use it."

"There is a family in his hometown that is not very powerful. The eldest son of this family is very talented, but no one appreciates it. The clan leader of the family is also very troubled by his son's future.

On this day, the patriarch heard that the largest merchant in Persia would go to his hometown soon. After thinking hard for a night, the patriarch took his son, dressed up, and went to the local governor.

The patriarch told the governor that the great merchant came from the imperial capital to recruit his son because he heard that his son was very talented. If the governor was willing to marry his daughter to his son, his son would guarantee to praise the governor in front of the merchant."

Speaking of this, Yin Qingfeng explained, "The governor is equivalent to the governor. Persian merchants have great status and influence. The more wealth the merchants have greater power. This is different from our Li Tang."

Li Shimin nodded.

"The Governor dared not believe the patriarch completely. He said to the patriarch, if your son is really recruited by that big merchant, my daughter will marry your son.

After the great merchant arrived, the patriarch took his son to visit again.

The patriarch told the merchant that my son is very talented. The governor wanted to marry his most beautiful daughter to my son and also gave him a lot of dowry. I heard that you came here to expand your business, so why not let my son be responsible for managing the business here.

The great merchant was also skeptical about the patriarch's words. He said, if your son really married the governor's daughter, I will appoint him as the supervisor here.

The patriarch came to the Governor again and said that in order to celebrate the Governor's daughter's marriage to his son, the merchant will announce his appointment at the wedding."

Speaking of this, Yin Qingfeng looked at the thoughtful Li Shimin, "The witty father not only found a good future for his son, but also revitalized his family. Therefore, many things do not have to be resolved by force.

The prince is the prince, so there will definitely be some generals who lead troops abroad loyal to him. Uncle can make people imitate the prince's handwriting and write letters to those generals, agreeing to send troops to attack his uncle at a certain time.

If you fail to imitate the handwriting, you can also send someone to impersonate the message, or bribe the prince's confidant to pass on the message.

And where is the uncle at this time? The uncle is accompanying the saint to cool off or go out to hunt in the palace.

Because the uncle disbanded the Tiance Mansion, the uncle, who was not a slight official, wanted to be filial to the saints. He heard that someone was going to assassinate the saints, and of course he had to lead troops to quell the rebellion."

In history, the Yang Wengan incident will occur half a year later. Li Yuan had the idea of ​​deposing Li Jiancheng at that time, but after Yang Wengan was killed by his subordinates, Li Yuan exiled only Wang Gui of the Crown Prince's Mansion, Wei Ting and Du Yan of the Qin Prince's Mansion, and the matter was left to nothing.

Yin Qingfeng could not know the specific details of the Yang Wengan incident, but this matter can be taken advantage of.

First, Yang Wengan was originally Li Jiancheng's guard and served as the governor of Qingzhou. His garrison was only six or seven hundred miles away from Chang'an.

Second, whether Zhu Huan, Qiaogongshan, and Du Fengju took the initiative to report it or Li Shimin bought it, it all means that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"If only one general raises a rebellion and is not enough to make the saint angry, then there are two or three. The key is whether this matter can be confirmed after the rebellion is suppressed."

Li Shimin closed his eyes and carefully considered whether these two suggestions were feasible. If possible, which one should I choose.

After a long time, Li Shimin opened his eyes and said, "What if the two strategies are carried out at the same time?"

Yin Qingfeng also thought about this question, "No matter how the uncle proceeds, ordinary people will not know. However, the officials in Chang'an City saw it.

If force is used, even if the uncle is ultimately... some people are dissatisfied. They will think that these are the uncle's conspiracy and the prince just had to do it to save his life. Therefore, the nephew's tendency is to use the second method."

Li Shimin first said "yes", "You have been tired all night, so your aunts will go to see you another day."

When Yin Qingfeng saw Li Shimin expelling the guest, he couldn't help but feel relieved, "I'm going to say goodbye to my uncle, I hope my uncle will recover soon."
