Chapter 241 Killing one's own people will be addicted to killing

"It's very simple!" Du Yan said coldly: "Kill him, you'll finish it all!"

Although Du Yan did not mention who "he" was, Changsun Wuji knew very well that "he" refers to the prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng, and Changsun Wuji did not show a look of surprise. He knew very well that the Qin Palace had already fallen at a disadvantage in the dispute between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

This is not the gains and losses of a city and a place, but the failure of the entire strategic level. Li Jiancheng and Wu had great achievements in pacifying Hedong and the Hebei Rebellion. He also completed the first law of the Tang Dynasty, "Wude Law", and then promulgated the rent-in-one modifier. In the sixth year of Wude, he introduced the equal-field order. In addition, Li Jiancheng knew talents with keen eyes, such as Wei Zheng, Wang Wanggui, Wei Ting, Pei Ju, etc., all of them were made by him.

On the issue of moving the capital, Li Jiancheng also gave Li Yuan the greatest support. At the same time, Li Jiancheng persuaded Li Yuan to take Huang Lao's thoughts as the current development strategy of the country, put the people first, educate the people with gentleness, calm the war, reduce taxes, restore people's livelihood in the shortest time, promote economic development, and consolidate the foundation of rule. It can be said that Li Jiancheng, the prince, is quite popular with the people. Not only does the civil servant group consciously unite around Li Jiancheng, but among the people, the prince's reputation is also quite high.

On the contrary, Li Jiancheng was too generous. Even if he was called the "Eternal Emperor" Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, this wise ruler who was known for his kindness and respect for wise men, was quite terrible. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuan, who had lost power, begged Li Shimin to let his brothers have their descendants. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Shimin killed more than a dozen sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji one by one.

When Li Yuan learned about it, he almost fainted and cursed himself on the spot, cursing his own son's descendants would end up with the same consequences. However, Li Yuan's words finally came true. Li Shimin's twenty-five sons, only two of them died well. After Li Shimin settled down, a saying suddenly spread among the people: "There should be a Female King." As the famous general Li Junxian accidentally said his nickname "Five Lady". Li Shimin immediately thought that when he killed Li Jiancheng, he also spread a lot of rumors. He couldn't help but feel guilty and demoted the general first and then falsely killed him.

Du Yan looked at Changsun Wuji and smiled coldly: "For the prince, the King of Qin cannot reverse the passive situation by one or two big victories. The King of Qin has been suspicious of His Majesty. Even if the court gives His Highness the King of Qin a chance to quell the rebellion of the Jianghuai Army, the King of Qin can successfully quell the rebellion of the Jianghuai Army, and even more smoothly attract tens of thousands of Jianghuai Army to existing ones, but what about?"

Changsun Wuji asked with his eyes flashing: "What then!"

Du Yan picked up Changsun Wuji's teacup, without any concern that this was the cup that Changsun Wuji had just drunk, and drank it all in one go. Du Yan wiped his mouth and said, "Even if the King of Qin can conquer the Jianghuai Army, what can he do? Lead the army to force His Majesty to give him the position of crown prince?"

Changsun Wuji looked shaking and stood up and said, "What do you think you should do? I hope Ling Jing will kill him?"

"Isn't that possible?" Du Yan chuckled and said, "He didn't know at all. Not only Chang He, but even Ling Jing is ours. He would not be prepared for Ling Jing, and he was determined to be unprepared, so he was very immeasurable!"

"It's impossible!" Changsun Wuji pointed at Du Yan and said, "Do you think Ling Jing can get closer to him? If you can't get within three feet, Ling Jing has no chance of winning!"

Li Jiancheng usually travels with the left and right Qingdao, and at least one regiment of troops, more than 200 soldiers. From the East Palace to the Tai Chi Palace, this is Li Jiancheng's habitual way of traveling every day. However, this journey is under the surveillance of the Eastern Palace Yuancheng Imperial Guards. Not to mention one or two assassins, even dozens of assassins have absolutely no chance of success.

Du Yan thought for a while and said, "I remember General Chen seems to be coming back from the Western Regions!"

"Not bad!" Changsun Wuji thought about it and said, "I received the news a day ago that General Chen entered Pingliang, and was only more than 600 miles away from Chang'an. With General Chen and his party, they traveled 150 miles a day, they would arrive in Chang'an in a maximum of three days!"

Du Yan laughed and said, "Is this a good opportunity? When General Chen returns, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely go to Duke Liang's mansion to visit. At Duke Liang's mansion, we will take action, and the chance will be greater!"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "I don't know anything. Whoever you need to cooperate with you can go find Ye Zhiqiu. All the staff of Baiqisi can be under your command!"

Du Yan turned around and left, without any extra words.

When Du Yan walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Do something for me!"

"What's the matter?" Changsun Wuji asked curiously.

Du Yan said: "Help me kill Du Fengju!"

Changsun Wuji said in disbelief: "He is your son! His own son!"

"If you are forced to force yourself, your left hand will betray your right hand, let alone your son!" Du Yan smiled coldly and said, "If your son is gone, you can have another child. If you don't have one, you will have two or three!"

Changsun Wuji looked at Du Yan and said, "You are such a beast!"

"Each, each other!" Du Yan said: "If your son had a secret and fell into the hands of the East Palace, would you be lenient?"

...

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng was writing a memorial. Li Jiancheng used his words very sincerely and pleaded for Du Fuwei, wanting to ask Li Yuan to pardon Du Fuwei. Wei Ting, who was beside him, snatched the memorial from the table. Wei Ting said anxiously: "Your Highness, you must not submit memorials."

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Du Fuwei is a surrendered minister. After the destruction of the Jianghuai Army, he was alone in Chang'an. What can he do if he spares his life?"

Wei Ting said with a stern face: "Your Highness is confused! The court and Du Fuwei have formed a mortal enemy in the Jianghuai Army. In the past, Du Fuwei, a commoner, could be in Jianghuai and ordered millions of people to follow him. If he returns to Jianghuai again, how could he know that he could not gather millions of rebels again? If Du Fuwei does not die, it would be a big hidden danger for the court and will become a major concern in the future. Killing the grass will lead to the roots. How can Your Highness not know this truth?"

Li Jiancheng pondered silently.

At this moment, Wei Zheng, who walked in from outside, pointed at Wei Ting and said, "Wei Yizhi, have you read history books? What did Fan Zeng say about Xiang Yu during the Hongmen Banquet?"

Wei Ting's face turned pale and he said coldly: "I am not good at making up for it!"

"You are talking about such a pride!" Wei Zheng sat down with a swagger and looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, what Wei Yizhi said is the strategy to harm the country and the people, and it is absolutely not advisable."

Wei Ting's face suddenly changed. He pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xuancheng, you must explain it clearly to me today. Why didn't I go to work together?"

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Du Fuwei raised his arms and shouted, and thousands of people followed him. The former Sui Dynasty was against him. His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also raised his arms and shouted in Taiyuan. Tens of thousands of people followed him. However, as time has changed, now the court's reputation and the people's hearts are comparable to the former Sui Dynasty?"

Wei Ting said angrily: "That can't raise a tiger to cause trouble!"

"As you say, those who have prestige and ability must die?" Wei Zheng pointed outside the door and roared: "Longyou Dao Xingtai Shangtai Youpushe, Longyou Dao Fufu Ambassador Li Jing and Li Yaoshi, Kaizhou barbarian leader Ran Zhaoze rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and led his troops to invade Kuizhou. Zhao County Prince Li Xiaogong led the Tang army to fight and failed. Li Jing led 800 soldiers to attack his camp and defeated the barbarians. Later, he set up ambush at the critical point, killed Zhaoze in one battle, and captured more than 5,000 people. Then, his Majesty used the three armies to entrust Jing to destroy Xiao Xian, pacify Bashu, and successfully recruited and pacified the states in Lingnan. According to you, did Li Jing also have the strength to rebel and must be executed as soon as possible?"

Wei Ting was speechless for a moment and argued: "Li Yaoshi naturally cannot be compared with Li Jing, he is a surrendered minister!"

"Submitted minister!" Wei Zheng's voice suddenly rose and became harsh: "Looking at the court, who is the unsubmitted minister? Xiao Prime Minister was the former prefect of Hechi of Sui, he was the surrendered minister. Qu Tutong, Pei Ju, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, including you Wei Yizhi, have you never eaten the salary of the former Sui Dynasty and been a minister of the Yang family?"

Wei Ting was choked by Wei Zheng. When it comes to talking, Wei Zheng can be said to be that there are not many people who can compare with him in the world. Including Fang Xuanling, who is famous in history, Du Ruhui is not known for his eloquence.

When Li Jiancheng saw Wei Ting so angry that he left, he hurriedly chased him out.

But Wei Zheng was lying on the soft couch, picked up a book casually, and looked it casually.

Wei Zheng lay on the bed, reading a book with his feet raised.

Li Jiancheng returned for a while and walked in.

Wei Zheng put down his feet, but did not get up, and was still reading a book.

Li Jiancheng suddenly said with a gloomy face: "Xuancheng, I know that you are rich in five cars, and no one can match the Eastern Palace. But how could Xuancheng be arrogant and fight with his colleagues because of this? It is also a demeanor that famous officials should have because of this."

Wei Zheng retorted in a mean tone: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, this hole must not be opened. Wei Ting is innocent and naive. Is Your Highness the Crown Prince also naive and naive?"

Li Jiancheng's face turned pale with anger and couldn't say a word, "You..."

Wei Zheng sneered and sat up and said, "Crown Prince, don't believe it. As a monarch, you must have the ability to tolerate ministers, otherwise the country will be full of mediocre talents and the country will not be in power. Du Fuwei has the ability and prestige. This is not the original sin of his death, and he will not be punished without guilt!"

Wei Zheng was a smart man, a monarch of all dynasties. Once he pointed his butcher knife at the founding heroes and ministers who had high morale, it would lead to the disinterest of the monarch and his ministers. In that environment, who would dare to devote himself to his work? Li Jiancheng now listened to Wei Ting's words and sat down to Li Yuan and killed Du Fuwei. So what about Li Jing in the future?

What about Chen Ying? Including Li Shiji, they are all good generals and talented people who can stand alone. If Li Jiancheng had not been able to accommodate them, it would definitely not be a blessing for the country of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "I understand that in this world, there is no minister who has no merits and no power, but only an incompetent king."

When Wei Zheng heard Li Jiancheng's words, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness understands it. Remember that at any time, you cannot open the hole in killing your own people. Once you open this hole, killing your own people will become addicted to killing, and then everyone will be betrayal of their relatives!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "This palace will put the overall situation first!"

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng suddenly looked up and said, "Xuancheng, what do you say about Du Fuwei?"

Wei Zheng said: "Du Fuwei has decided to cooperate. He meets Kan Ling and wants to order Kan Ling to return to Jianghuai to regain the power of Fu Gongyou!"
