Chapter 796
"Your Majesty, that's how it happened." Samurai Xun told Li Yuan in detail what had happened in the past few days.
After Li Yuan finished listening, his face was pensive, and after a while he said: "I see, you go back first, and come back to play chess with me tomorrow."
"Yes, I will take your leave." The samurai bowed and withdrew.
"Go and call Erlang over, and tell me that I want to see him."
Li Yuan knew that the people around him were sent by Li Shimin to monitor him, so as long as he said that, someone would report it.
……
Manna Hall
It turned out that one-third of the eunuchs and maids serving Li Shimin were taken away, and many new faces were changed.
These people naturally knew what would happen to those who were taken away. When they were on duty these two days, they didn't dare to breathe, for fear that they would be taken away too.
"You said father wants to see me?" Li Shimin asked a little strangely.
Although the relationship between him and Li Yuan has eased a lot, Li Yuan still has a grudge in his heart, so it is impossible for him to be as kind and filial as before.
He usually went to see Li Yuan in his spare time, but Li Yuan never took the initiative to look for him.
"Return to Your Majesty, Duke Ying told the Supreme Emperor about the recent events, and after the Supreme Emperor heard it, he said he wanted to see His Majesty." Li Mu said.
The warrior Xun and Li Yuan didn't dare to avoid the eunuchs and court ladies who were serving them.
He knew that Li Yuan was Li Shimin's taboo. If he really did this, the Wu family would not be far away from the day of extermination.
"I know, let's drive!"
……
"My sons and ministers see father and emperor." Li Shimin bowed and saluted.
"Let all your people go down." Li Yuan said slightly mockingly.
Li Shimin waved his hand without the slightest embarrassment, and soon there were only father and son left in the hall.
"I know that Qing Que's assassination was not caused by the remnants of Jian Jian, right?" Although Li Yuan was asking, his tone was extremely firm.
"How did the father see it?" Li Shimin asked back.
"Back then, Jian Jiancheng felt that he had the chance to win, and he would not have left behind. If he hadn't let down his vigilance, the Xuanwu sect would not have succeeded." Li Yuan said lightly.
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have been fighting for the crown prince for several years, why did they choose to fight in the ninth year of Wude?
One: At the beginning, Li Shimin's confidants held a lot of military power, and Li Shimin felt that he had a great possibility to seize the crown prince through normal means.
Second: At that time, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were in the same situation, and Li Jiancheng would naturally guard against Li Shimin.
Although Li Jiancheng doesn't have much military power, Li Shimin is no match for Li Jiancheng in terms of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City.
There were more than 1 people in Donggong Liu, all of which were in charge of Li Jiancheng at that time.
And Li Shimin only had a few hundred soldiers in Chang'an City.
This is why when Li Shimin finally launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, there were only a few hundred people.
Although Li Shimin's power was suppressed, if Li Shimin really wanted to mobilize troops, he would definitely be able to mobilize them. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not be so stupid as to launch a coup with only a few hundred people.
However, most of the troops that Li Shimin could mobilize were outside Chang'an City, and the guards at the gates of Chang'an were all Li Yuan's confidantes. If Li Shimin's troops wanted to enter the city, they had to attack the city directly.
When Li Jiancheng fought with Li Shimin, he would naturally be on guard against Li Shimin's assassination, so he traveled with a large number of soldiers and horses, and it was simply unrealistic to assassinate him.
The change of Xuanwu Gate was planned by Li Shimin a long time ago, and Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, is Li Shimin's man.
For this reason, Li Shimin also provided a lot of money to let Chang He buy those forbidden troops.
When Li Shimin's confidants were taken away, Li Jiancheng felt that Li Shimin could no longer threaten him, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance.
And this has been the opportunity Li Shimin has been waiting for.
One of Li Yuan's concubines belonged to Li Jiancheng, but Li Jiancheng didn't know that the concubine had been bought by Li Shimin long ago.
Li Shimin went to the palace to speak to Li Yuan, saying that Li Jiancheng was promiscuous in the harem and had an affair with the concubine of the harem.
The concubine bought by Li Shimin sent a letter to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng was eager to enter the palace to explain, so he chose to go to the nearest Xuanwu Gate.
And Li Shimin had led people to ambush at Xuanwu Gate long ago, and with Chang He's internal response, Li Jiancheng and others were quickly dealt with.
The Xuanwu Gate leads directly to the Taiji Palace, and solves Li Jiancheng and others. Li Shimin quickly mastered Li Yuan. This is the reason why Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate can succeed.
If Li Jiancheng hadn't put down his guard against Li Shimin, he only needed to bring more people, and Li Shimin would not be able to kill Li Jiancheng in a short time.
As long as it delays for a while, the soldiers and horses in the East Palace and the forbidden army in the palace will be able to react, and Li Shimin will die by then.
After Li Shimin stabilized the situation, he purged Li Jiancheng's heirs.
Although many officials who took refuge in Li Jiancheng were left behind.
But Li Jiancheng is dead, and all his sons are dead. Those people have no object of allegiance, so naturally they will not be making trouble.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng's remnant party that Li Shimin mentioned does not exist at all.
"Isn't the father and son here just to talk about this?" Li Shimin didn't want to say more about this issue.
"I would like to know whether Qing Que's assassination was done by Gao Ming?" Li Yuan asked.
Although he cursed Li Shimin, saying that Li Shimin's son would be like him in the future, brothers would kill each other, but Li Tai and Li Chengqian were both his grandsons after all, and he didn't want his curse to come true.
"This matter has nothing to do with Gao Ming, it was done by the family." Li Shimin did not hide it from Li Yuan.
"The aristocratic family is really a cancer of the country. When the Sui Dynasty fell, there was the shadow of the aristocratic family." Li Yuan's face was a little gloomy.
Although he was angry with Li Shimin for imprisoning him, Datang was the Tang Dynasty of the Li family, so he naturally hoped that Datang would be passed down from generation to generation.
"Father, don't worry, it won't be long before the aristocratic family will not be able to make waves." Li Shimin sneered.
"You want to deal with the family?" Li Yuan frowned slightly.
Although he is afraid of the family, he understands that Datang cannot do without the family.
Which of the emperors of all dynasties did not know the dangers of the family?
But the dynasties changed, but the aristocratic family still passed on.
The power of the aristocratic family is too great, and it can affect the whole body, so it is not so easy to deal with.
"Father, I know that the aristocratic family is not that simple, but I have already made arrangements, and I just need to wait a few years." Li Shimin said.
"You can figure it out yourself, anyway, the country is already yours, even if the country is subjugated, it has nothing to do with me." Seeing that Li Shimin was unwilling to say anything, Li Yuan didn't ask again.
"By the way, you know that Gao Ming has nothing to do with Qingque's assassination, did you explain to him when you grounded Gao Ming?" Li Yuan asked.
"Explanation?" Li Shimin was taken aback, and said, "Explain what?"
"You grounded Gao Ming all of a sudden, but you didn't communicate with Gao Ming. Have you ever thought about what he would think?" Li Yuan asked.
The scene of Li Chengqian screaming hysterically appeared in Li Shimin's mind, and he felt a little guilty.
But soon the guilt in Li Shimin's heart disappeared, and he said indifferently: "He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the future emperor, if he can't even afford this, how can he be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
Li Yuan shook his head, Li Shimin was a little headstrong.
