六月初二,太极宫,两仪殿.

Emperor Wude Li Yuan frowned and was restless with the secret speech of Grand Historian Fu Yi.

“太白经天,秦王当主天下.”

This short sentence made Li Yuan even more restless. Fu Yi was the Grand Historian, an official position in charge of the astronomical calendar in the court. He was absolutely authoritative for astronomy and astrology, and no one was more professional than him. He studied it for a long time and gave such an explanation, which made Li Yuan feel at ease.

Fu Yi was once Yi Cao, a subordinate of Yang Liang, the King of Han of the Sui Dynasty. Before Yang Liang wanted to raise an army to rebel, he asked Fu Yi what the sign was that Ying Huo entered the well? Fu Yi replied that it was a disaster and advised him not to raise an army, but Yang Liang refused to listen and acted alone, and eventually he was defeated and died.

Later, Fu Yi was demoted to Fufeng as an official, and Li Yuan was the prefect of Fufeng and treated Fu Yi with courtesy. Li Yuan entered Guanzhong and summoned Fu Yi to Beijing to preside over the Taishi Bureau.

Li Yuan attached great importance to Fu Yi and not only regarded him as an astronomical official. On the contrary, he adopted many of Fu Yi's reform suggestions on the government system, such as Fu Yi's suggestion of streamlining officials, reducing punishments, and anti-Buddha and cleaning temples. Li Yuan accepted it.

Fu Yi submitted the "Please Abolish the Dharma" and "Please Abolish the Interpretation of the Teachings", and Li Yuan issued the "Decree of the Elimination of Buddhism and Taoism" to strictly control the spread of Buddhism.

Li Yuan believed in what Fu Yi said.

此时此刻,他有两个选择.

The first is to follow the will of heaven, deposed the prince Jiancheng, and change the Qin King Shimin as the prince, so that Li Shimin can dominate the world naturally.

But although Li Yuan had this idea several times, after seven years of Wude, Li Yuan had finally made a choice. He did not want to depose the eldest son and establish the young son, nor did he want to follow Yang Jian's old path again.

His last choice was to change his destiny against the will of heaven, get rid of the people, and forcibly ensure the completion of the building.

Before Taibai Jingtian, Li Yuan had been planning to remove the wings of the Qin King, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other members of the Qin King's Civil and Military Department were all transferred to the office. He even talked to Qin Qiong in person, hoping that he would not support Shimin anymore. His ultimate plan was to change him to Shuzhong after Li Shimin's wings were eliminated.

But now that Fu Yi's memorial was released, Li Yuan suspected that he had not done enough.

Since Taibai reappeared yesterday, the situation in Chang'an, the capital has become strange and inexplicable. It is bustling and prosperous during the day, but it is extremely strict at night.

The soldiers and cavalry were patrolling and guarding each other, and were on high alert.

Li Yuan could feel the undercurrent under the calm water surface surging.

Emperor Wude has been constantly making edicts in the past two days and is undergoing personnel adjustments in a intensive manner. The confidant prime minister Pei Ji almost controlled the Shangshu Province with the position of Shangshu Zuo Pushe. The Shangshu Right Pushe Xiao Yu and the Procurator-General Yang Rengong were both listed by Li Yuan as the one who was about to be adjusted because of his support for Li Shimin.

Because of his neutral attitude, Duke Feng Deyi of the State of Mi, he had been formally issued an edict by Li Yuan to be appointed as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and Pei Shiju was also appointed as the Chief of the Procuratorate.

“召封德彝!”

Li Yuan read Fu Yi's memorial carefully again, and the words that King Qin was in power in the world deeply hurt him.

Li Yuan, who is just fifty-nine years old this year, finds these words extremely dazzling.

封德彝匆匆赶到两仪殿中.

Li Yuan directly handed Fu Yi's secret memorial to Feng Deyi to see.

"What do you think?" Li Yuan asked.

Feng Deyi's original name is Fenglun, and his age is similar to that of the emperor. He was the grandson of Fenglong, the Taibao of Northern Qi, and the son of Feng Zixiu, the governor of Tongzhou of the Sui Dynasty. He was born in the famous Feng family of the Bohai Feng family. He was extremely intelligent. He was first aide to the Duke of Yue Yang Su. Because of his excellent work, he was valued by Yang Su. He married his niece and became a relative of his in-laws. Later, because of his contribution to the Jianren Shou Palace, he was promoted to the Neishishu Sheren. In the Yang Guang Dynasty, he colluded with Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Neishishu.

After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he was deeply trusted by Emperor Wude and became a relative of Emperor Emperor. He was elected as an official of the Tiance Prefecture by Li Yuan, but in fact Feng Deyi has always been the emperor's member.

As Sima of the Tiance Prefecture, Feng Deyi offered many loyalty strategies to King Li Shimin of Qin, expressed his loyalty and made suggestions, which were deeply trusted by Li Shimin. He turned around and reported to the emperor in full secretly the situation with Li Shimin.

Li Yuan thought Feng Deyi was a loyal minister, but he did not expect that Feng Deyi secretly contacted the prince again and secretly attached to the prince.

He bets from three parties made Li Yuan and his son think he was his own.

At this time, facing the emperor's inquiry, Feng Deyi did not express his position immediately.

"Shuchen is brave, do you still have the idea of ​​being easy to save your money at home?"

There were two kings and ministers in Liangyi Hall, and neither eunuchs were allowed to be by their side. Feng Deyi did not call His Majesty, but used a recent name called the emperor by someone from the palace to privately call him the emperor, to show that he was also a close minister of the emperor.

Li Yuan looked solemn.

Sighs one after another.

"Shimin was very loyal since he was a child. Over the years, he made great achievements in the battles of the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements. This is exactly what I worry about. I read all the history. Any civil servants who govern the country must have a long life, and any military general who advances the country will have a collapse."

"The people of the people are good at military affairs, and they are rewarded for their military merits. They will be a good general. However, if they are unified today, if they are used to govern the country, they may be in danger of military and military affairs. On the contrary, he was slightly inferior to the people in military affairs, but he has no major mistakes and omissions in the supervision of the government for many years, and he is kind and friendly by nature. What our Tang Dynasty needs more in the future is a civil servant court that can allow the people to recuperate. In the future, the country will be governed by scholars and officials, rather than letting military officials take power and interfere in politics. There is no need for military general courts who will fight for years."

The Western Wei and Northern Zhou were all military generals and courts. The military generals were generals and prime ministers, and their descendants were hereditary, creating a family of generals and martial experts, which also led to the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty being short-lived dynasties.

Li Yuan hopes that the Tang Dynasty can break this situation even longer.

What made Li Yuan even more uneasy was that Li Shimin now showed not only military ability to fight, but also his covetousness of imperial power. Li Yuan seemed to see Yang Guang of the previous dynasty in Li Shimin. When he was King of Jin, he also showed kindness and kindness, respect for wise men, and the reputation of the wise king was passed down from all over the world, and the government and the country supported him. However, after Yang Jian finally abolished the crown prince, it was rumored that Yang Jian was finally killed by Yang Guang instead of ill. It was even said that Yang Jian wanted to re-establish Yang Yong as the crown prince in his later years, but was killed by Yang Guang.

Once the wise king became emperor and empress, within a few years, the powerful Sui Empire collapsed and completely destroyed.

What Li Yuan was extremely worried about was that Li Shimin was another Yang Guang.

"I don't want Shimin to be promoted to the crown prince, and I don't feel at ease to hand over the world to him."

After Feng Deyi understood the emperor's wishes, he immediately submitted three imperial edicts.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue the first imperial edict to abolish the General of Tiance. The second imperial edict is to abolish the King of Qin as a commoner, to remove him from his posts such as the Grand Marshal, the Shangshu Ling, and the Central Secretariat. If he lives for life, he will not be allowed to leave the capital. The third imperial edict is to be the Prince Jiancheng to lead the Shangshu Ling and the General Political Affairs Hall."

After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded slightly. If he wanted to go against the will of heaven and change his fate and force the prince to protect him, he would have to control the King of Qin.

"I would like to issue three more imperial edicts. The first one is to the emperor of the North Gate Yuan to follow the imperial guards. Chang He, Jing Junhong and other generals, immediately set up a close gate of Chang'an and the whole city is martial law."

"The second imperial edict ordered the soldiers and horses of the North Ya Guard Palace to block the palace city. The last imperial edict ordered the general Qian Jiulong and Fan Xing to immediately lead his troops to surround Hongyi Palace and control the King of Qin."

Li Yuan's face was wrinkled. He didn't have the majestic and handsome appearance. He had three breasts when he was born, and his face was wrinkled when he was young. He was jokingly called his mother-in-law face by Yang Guang.

He knew very well that as long as he issued these six imperial edicts as Feng Deyi said, Li Shimin would never be able to turn over and be completely stepped onto the bottom of the mud.

However, Li Yuan was still considering the relationship between father and son and the influence of the government and the opposition. After all, if Li Shimin's current status and fame are not yet available, it will probably cause criticism if he is deposed like this without sufficient reason.

The most important thing is that there are many old subordinates from all over Chang'an who are in charge of military power.

Li Yuan also needs time to mobilize them one by one before resettling them, otherwise it will be prone to in a hurry and cause chaos.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan did not fully agree with Feng Deyi's suggestion in the end, but only ordered the Beiya Imperial Army to block the palace city and ordered the troops of Beimen Tun Camp to guard Xuanwu Gate.

"Let Pei Ji send Fu Yi's memorial to Hongyi Palace to show Shimin."

Let Prime Minister Pei Ji use these memorials to show Li Shimin, with obvious intentions, that is, to tell Emperor Li Shimin's attitude, to make Li Shimin honestly accept his fate and not take any more actions.

In the Shangshu Province, the Zuo Pushe Pei Ji smiled when he received the secret message from Feng Deyi of the Secretariat. Pei Ji was the prime minister, and the words of Li Shimin were actually led by Zuo Pushe. As the emperor's Yuan Cong's hero, he has always been the emperor's first confidant. If the emperor supports the crown prince, he will support the crown prince.

He is different from Feng Deyi. He has never had any ambiguous relationship with the King of Qin and has always had a clear attitude. So if the King of Qin ruled the world, then Pei Ji would never have any good ending. Feng Deyi might still have a place in Li Shimin's court, but he couldn't do it.

Hongyi Palace.

Located in the northwest garden of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, the King of Qin originally lived in Chengqian Hall of Taiji Palace. In the fifth year of Wude, the emperor made contributions to the Qin Dynasty's victory in conquering the world, and specially sued special rites to build the Hongyi Palace and let the King of Qin live.

In fact, Chengqian Palace is located in the Great Interior, while Hongyi Palace is located in the remote inner garden, which is not large in scale and is even outside the palace city.

From Hongyi Palace to Taiji Palace, you have to go out of Fanglin Gate first and then go around Xuanwu Gate, or go south to pass through the imperial city and enter the palace.

When the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty Zuo Pushe Pei Ji smiled and handed over the secret memorial to the Shang Dynasty Ling Li Shimin, the Qin King, who was usually wise and elegant and heroic, instantly looked ashamed and even trembled all over.

He held the memorial in a daze, and even forgot to say the word "放品".

Pei Ji looked at him with satisfaction, and turned around and left with a smile.

a long time.

Changsun Wuji said, "King, Pei Ji has left."

"oh."

Li Shimin responded, and his face was filled with fear and fear. His face changed to the decisive and confident look that was before the war.

Changsun Wuji said worriedly, "I didn't expect that Fu Yi would destroy all our previous plans with a memorial. What should I do now?"

Li Shimin was not at all panic. The fear just now was just for Pei Ji to show.

"If this matter is handled improperly, it is estimated that Tianziyuan will surround Hongyi Palace from the Imperial Guard tomorrow. All our previous arrangements and deployments will be abolished, and we will not wait for the fourth day of the lunar month."

The emperor's intention of asking Pei Ji to send Fu Yi's memorial was very obvious. This was a signal that the emperor wanted to take action. The emperor just wanted the Qin Palace to surrender without fighting.

Li Shimin said, "Qin Sanlang had already expected what happened today. Assistant Ji, his uncle sent someone to send a message saying that Qin Qiong asked Qin Lang to send a message, saying that he wanted to meet me secretly. I will go to see Shubao and his son first, and you will meet Xuanling and Ruhui on my behalf."

"It's already this time, why are you still seeing Uncle Qin?" Changsun Wuji was a little anxious.

"The more you are, the more you can't panic. There is still some time left. I'll go back and maybe I can get unexpected results." Li Shimin smiled and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder. In fact, he was a little nervous now, but the more this time, the less he could show it. Otherwise, the Qin Palace would be in chaos and be defeated without fighting.
