Pawnshop No. 8: Lord of Darkness

"King Li Yuanji of Qi took your place and was ordered to lead his troops to the north to attack the Turks? Lin

Yan was stunned. He rarely cared about history. He only knew about certain major events, but not the details.

Logically speaking, major events such as supporting Wucheng and fighting against the Turks were related to the Tang Dynasty's country and the stability of the country, so there was no room for carelessness.

Naturally, a prestigious prince or general should take on this responsibility.

When Li Yuan started his army, although Li Yuanji was brave and had made many military exploits, he was still far behind the prince Qin. There is no need to say more about Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan conquered Xihe, captured Huoyi, rejected Tongguan, and conquered Chang'an, making great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Above the imperial court, the voices of supporters were no weaker than Li Shimin's.

And Li Shimin, not only in the war to destroy the Sui Dynasty, It played an indispensable role, and even after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it fought in all directions. At that time, when the Tang Dynasty was first established, its territory was limited to Guanzhong and Hedong, and the country had not yet been completely unified.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, often went on expeditions and gradually eliminated the separatist forces in various places.

Whether it was the defeat of Xue Ju in the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the defeat of Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou in the Northern Expedition, or the annihilation of Wang Shichong of Henan and Dou Jiande of Hebei in the Battle of Hulao, it also severely damaged the remaining troops of Dou Jiande and Xu Yuanlang of Shandong.

All of these, Let Li Shimin's reputation skyrocket.

Later, Li Shimin was named General Tiance, led Situ, Shaanxi Province Daxingtai Shangshuling, and became a prince. At the same time, he was granted permission by Li Yuan to appoint his own officials.

Faintly, the momentum has been overshadowed. The prince Li Jiancheng was extremely powerful.

With such remarkable political achievements, he was actually snatched away from the throne by a mere Li Yuanji.

This incident was really surprising.

Faced with Lin Yan's questions, Li Shimin himself was very helpless.

He He sighed and said:"I have tried hard on this matter, but the result is not as satisfactory."

"Over in the East Palace, before I entered the palace, I had strongly recommended to my father that King Qi should take command. I don’t know what he said specifically, but this time, my father had made up his mind and would not listen to my words at all.

Hearing this, Lin Yan seemed to understand a little bit and said,"Maybe Li Yuan is wary of you and doesn't trust Li Jiancheng so much anymore.""

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Lin Yan calling him by his first name. This sentence hit the nail on the head and was exactly what he thought.

"Boss Lin's eyes were piercing, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, his face a little solemn.

Above the imperial court, Prince Li Jiancheng occupies half of the sky, and in the army, Li Shimin's reputation is unparalleled. No one can match Li Shimin's reputation. The founder of a dynasty always has no shortage of such outstanding princes.

Because of the results of the war. , hard-won.

Those who can survive in peace are all elites, not those princes who were born in peaceful times and had rich clothes and fine food.

Whether it is Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, they are both dragons and phoenixes among people.

But Li Yuan's side is not the same. So much better.

Theoretically speaking, both the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace have the ability to force the palace.

If it weren't for the checks and balances between them, Li Yuan's throne would have been unstable.

As an emperor, how could he look at this Something happened?

Therefore, Li Yuanji's role was like a lever, balancing this open and secret struggle.

Because Li Yuan knew that the prince and the King of Qin could no longer let it develop like this.

But there was a problem.

"Li Yuan is not a fool. Doesn't he know that Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng are on the same boat? Lin Yan asked.

If Li Yuan knew about this relationship, would he still hand over military power to Li Yuanji with confidence?

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said,"It seems like he really doesn't know." Lin Yan:"

Well……"

It's right to think about it. Li Yuanji is a good card in Li Jiancheng's hand. How could it be exposed so easily? Naturally, he should do everything possible to hide it from Tai Chi Palace.

Now it has indeed achieved perfect results, and the Beizheng Commandery Seal has easily fallen into Li Yuanji's hands.

Lin Yan asked:"Mr. Li, even if Li Yuanji wins the commander's seal, with your prestige in the army, you shouldn't be able to threaten Prince Qin's palace, right?"

Li Shimin sighed:"Boss Lin doesn't know something, so Li Yuanji On the grounds of the Northern Expedition, Yu Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Qin Qiong and others were allowed to accompany the army, and his father had already agreed."

"In other words, once the army moves forward, my situation in Chang'an will be... worrisome!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes moved.

Li Jiancheng was going to take action.

On the pretext of conquering the Turks, he took away most of the generals around Li Shimin and almost emptied the entire Qin Palace.

Once the Northern Expedition army left Chang'an, Qin Hasn't the palace become a lamb to be slaughtered, to be manipulated by the East Palace?

With the cruelty between the princes, Li Jiancheng will never care about brotherhood, and will never hesitate to take action.

This is where Li Shimin is now situation.

Lin Yan completely understood

"In this case, Mr. Li came to No. 8 Pawn Shop today to……"

Mentioning this matter, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said slowly:"Strike first, kill the prince, and take control of the imperial city!"
