Chapter 311: Brother's Responsibilities

Outside Chang'an City, there were scattered snow falling constantly. A middle-aged man with a strong appearance was walking in front of him. Next to him was a heroic young man riding with him. Behind them, there were a long guard, and several riders were driving the way in front of him. Just from this podium, you can know that they were definitely not ordinary people.

"Fourth brother, how did the army mobilize?" At this moment, the middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly spoke, and tightened his fur. The middle-aged man with a firm face was Li Shimin, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the heroic young man next to him was naturally Li Yuanji, the King of Qi who was in full swing in Chang'an City.

"Brother, don't worry, all the generals in the Tiance Mansion have been drawn out by me. Although many people are unwilling to cause trouble, it is not a big problem. In a few days, when the materials are mobilized, I can lead my army north. As long as I leave Chang'an, I will see how I deal with them!"

When Li Yuanji spoke at the end, his face also showed a bit of vicious expression. Almost all the generals of the Tiance Mansion were loyal to Li Shimin. They have caused him a lot of trouble these days, but now it is not the time to deal with them. However, after leaving Chang'an City, all the lives and deaths of these people are in his control.

"Fourth brother, most of the generals of the Tiance Prefecture are pillars of the army. They have made flammable and powerful military achievements for the Tang Dynasty in the past. So if you can fight for it, you should try your best to fight for it. Money, women, and official positions are not a problem. As long as they are willing to surrender, it is enough. Of course, if the other party is really stubborn, then don't be polite!" Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment and finally spoke. At the end of the conversation, there was a bit of murderous aura in his tone. If he couldn't use it for himself, no matter how powerful he was, it would only cause greater trouble for himself, so it would be better to deal with it earlier!

"Brother, don't worry, I have secretly sent people to contact the people under my second brother. Some of them have become a little loose. As long as they add some chips, they probably should be able to understand the current affairs. However, some people are very stubborn, such as Yuchi Gong. This guy is just a stone in the pit, and he threw out the things he sent out. And every time I see him in the military camp, this guy is extremely arrogant and doesn't even say a word!" When Li Yuanji mentioned Yuchi Gong, he also looked so angry that he was itchy, that is, he could not beat the other party, otherwise he would have killed him with one sword.

"Yuchi Gong is just a reckless man. Fourth brother, don't bother him too much, and don't compete with him again, so as not to hurt yourself!" Li Jiancheng said with some concern when he heard this.

Li Yuanji is good at everything. Although he is a little arrogant, he is usually very clever. He has one weakness, that is, he cares a lot about his courage and desperately wants to defeat other military generals. Especially since he lost to Yuchi Gong last time, he has been determined to win a game and often asks Yuchi Gong to compete, but he always returns with great defeat every time.

After hearing his elder brother's persuasion, Li Yuanji finally calmed down. He was much more mature and steady now. After all, people will grow up, but soon he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Yuchi Gong is actually pretty good. At least he was determined to follow his second brother. In comparison, Cheng Yaojin is a rogue bastard. No matter how much things he gave, he would accept them with a smile, but he turned his back on his face in a blink of an eye. I have never seen a shameless person before!"

"Cheng Yaojin?" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but repeat Cheng Yaojin's name softly when he heard this, with a complicated look on his face. After a moment, he spoke, "Cheng Yaojin is indeed much more difficult than Yuchi Gong, and he is the true confidant of his second brother. Among the generals, he is even better than Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. If this person can be fought over, he will hardly have to worry about the possibility of turning over again. However, according to my estimate, the possibility is very small, so if it really doesn't work, the fourth brother will find an excuse to deal with him!"

"Brother, don't worry, I understand!" Li Yuanji couldn't help but show an excited expression when he heard his elder brother's words. He had long been unhappy with Cheng Yaojin, especially the beauties and money he gave them, but Cheng Yaojin only accepted gifts and did not express his opinion, which made her hate him long ago to kill him.

However, after being excited, Li Yuanji suddenly looked up at Li Jiancheng again and said solemnly: "Brother, no matter how much Cheng Yaojin and others make trouble, the key lies in the second brother. If you ask me, you shouldn't be too soft-hearted. As long as you get rid of your second brother, Cheng Yaojin and others will lose their backbone. I'm afraid they don't have to do anything, and they will be honest immediately!"

This is not the first time that Li Yuanji has persuaded Li Jiancheng like this. Especially after seizing military power, he has been persuading Li Jiancheng not to be ruthless and eradicating the roots is the way to completely solve the problem. However, Li Jiancheng was very disgusted with this matter. In the past, no matter how he suppressed Li Shimin, it was fine. Even the two brothers met, they looked like enemies. But if he was really asked to kill Li Shimin, his younger brother, he would not be able to do anything.

"Fourth brother, don't say it anymore. I will never agree with this matter, and don't do anything secretly!" Li Jiancheng shook his head firmly at this time. He used to scold Li Yuanji loudly whenever he mentioned this matter, but now he has too many times, so he is too lazy to lose his temper again.

"Brother~, you... you are simply a woman's kindness, and you might have a big trouble in the future!" Li Yuanji said quickly with a look of regret. He really couldn't understand why the old brother, who had always been decisive, had been unresolved in this matter, and even accused him of his respect for him very rarely.

Hearing these accusations from my younger brother, Li Jiancheng smiled helplessly. After a while, he slowly said: "Fourth brother, you don't understand some things, not to mention anything else. When my mother passed away, you and the second brother were not old, and I was already an adult. Until now, I still remember that when my mother was dying, she still held my hand and kept asking me, the eldest brother, to take care of you and the second brother, and to let your third sister marry a good husband."

When talking about his mother, Li Jiancheng's eyes were also red at this time. He took a long breath and said again: "But I didn't do what my mother told me before she died. I won't talk about your third sister's marriage. If it weren't for Li Xiu's appearance, I'm afraid your third sister would have lived in pain in this life. The second brother has been very independent since he was a child. We got along well before, but later because of the throne, he almost became an enemy!"

"Brother! You can't blame you for your third sister. If you want to blame, you can only blame the current affairs. As for the second brother, he is very ambitious and even wants to take over the position of prince that belongs to you, so the eldest brother is just forced to protect himself!" Li Yuanji became very excited when he heard Li Jiancheng's words. In his heart, Li Jiancheng has always been his best brother, which is why he has always been determined to support Li Jiancheng.

"With that being said, if my elder brother can do more things, it may be possible to change a lot of things. So every year on my mother's day, I feel very guilty and feel that I have let my mother down." When I said this, Li Jiancheng took a long breath again, his eyes were red. After a moment, he said again, "I am no longer a good brother, but no matter what, I cannot do something that brothers are tragic, otherwise I will never have the face to see my mother in the future!"

It was the first time that Li Yuanji heard Li Jiancheng say these words. He was silent for a long time. Among the brothers and sisters of his mother, he was the youngest, and he had been taking care of him since he was a child, so he had never been able to understand the responsibilities of Li Jiancheng, the elder brother, but now he finally understood a little.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's best if your second brother really gives up his military power. If he is still unwilling to give up, then we can only make more preparations. It's interesting to say that. During this period, he actually went to Li Xiu's place every day, and we can just go and see him in person!" After a while, Li Jiancheng suddenly smiled reluctantly.

The reason why he and Li Yuanji left the city was actually only one purpose, that is, in the name of visiting Li Xiu, they saw Li Shimin after giving up military power, and saw if he really gave up the battle for the throne? Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng coincided with Li Xiu, and they didn't believe that Li Shimin would give up so easily.

Li Xiu didn't know that Li Jiancheng's brothers were coming to his home. Today, Li Shimin still brought Li Chengqian to class. Even the snow in the sky could not stop them from coming. However, Li Xiu did not let the children attend the class boringly in the living room, but gave each of them a magnifying glass to let them observe the snowflakes falling in the sky. This was a very interesting subject.

Li Shimin was also very interested in watching the snowflakes on his body with a magnifying glass. Finally, he said in surprise: "It turns out that the snow falling from the sky looks like this. No wonder you always call them snowflakes, and they do look like small white flowers!"

"Haha, in fact, what we can see in our eyes is very limited. If we can create a microscope to enlarge some things tens of millions of times, Your Highness will see a completely different world. Just as the Buddha said, a flower, a world, a grass, and a Bodhi, even a drop of water actually contains countless lives!"

"If this is true, then this world is really wonderful!" Li Shimin said with emotion at this time. After learning with Li Xiu during this period, he almost opened the door to a new world for him. This was the first time he discovered that he had a very limited understanding of the world he was in, and he could even be called shallow.

"Okay, stop talking. The hot pot is ready. I'll wait for you guys to come back and eat!" At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly heard, and when Li Xiu turned his head, he saw Princess Pingyang standing in front of the hall with a smile like a flower. (To be continued.)
