Chapter 435 Are you kidding me?
"I just want to take another look at the thousands of miles of land I have laid down." Li Yuan's expression was indescribably lonely.
When mentioning Datang, people first think of Li Shimin, Wu Zetian and Li Longji.
Some people even thought that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin.
As a founding emperor, Li Yuan's existence can be said to be very low.
There are two reasons for this situation.
The first reason is because Li Shimin is too dazzling, covering up Li Yuan's light.
Another reason is that not long after the Tang Dynasty completely unified the world, Li Yuan was resigned by Li Shimin, and he did not make much contribution to the governance of the world.
Coupled with Li Shimin's deliberate downplaying, Li Yuan has no sense of existence.
Li Yuan has infinite affection for the Tang Dynasty that he built by himself.
He felt that his health was getting worse and worse, and he wanted to see the country he had built with his own hands.
If before, he still had resentment towards Li Shimin in his heart, he would never go to Li Shimin at all.
Because the relationship with Li Shimin had eased a lot some time ago, he was moved when Li Yuanchang proposed to let him participate in winter hunting.
Of course he knew about Li Yuanchang's calculations.
But if he didn't go this time, he was afraid that he would have no chance in the future.
Li Shimin is definitely worried that he will go out alone, and Li Shimin will also participate in Winter Hunting.
Only under Li Shimin's nose, Li Shimin will agree.
Li Yuanchang couldn't understand Li Yuan's emotion, and said angrily: "Father, I can't give up, you can report me to Brother Huang."
Li Yuan was silent. If Li Yuanchang was reported, Li Yuanchang would definitely die.
He had already lost several sons, and he never wanted a white-haired man to give a black-haired one.
At this moment, he is just a father.
"Whatever you want." Li Yuan said with a sigh.
He knew that Li Yuanchang was no match for Li Shimin, but he couldn't do it or control him if he was asked to expose Li Yuanchang.
With a gloomy face, Li Yuanchang turned and left.
……
"Your Majesty, when the King of Han left Da'an Palace, his face was very ugly." Li Mu said.
"So the King of Han's goal has not been achieved." Li Shimin had a sneer on his face.
Li Mu lowered his head and didn't speak. It's not easy for him to comment on such things.
"Notify Baiqi, pay close attention to those who come into contact with the Supreme Emperor during winter hunting," Li Shimin ordered.
Li Mu hesitated and said: "Since Your Majesty knows that someone has evil intentions, why did you agree to the Supreme Emperor to participate in the winter hunting?"
Li Shimin cast a glance at Li Mu.
Li Mu trembled all over, knowing that he was talking too much.
Li Shimin withdrew his gaze, and said flatly: "I just want those people to jump out and see how many people have evil intentions."
"Yes, the old slave will go right away." Li Mu responded, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
……
Hanwang Mansion
Although Li Yuanchang has left, Chang'an still has a Han Palace.
Hu Changcheng was Li Yuanchang's confidant, when he saw Li Yuanchang came back, his face was gloomy, and he asked, "My lord, is there something wrong?"
"My father told me to give up, and he will not support me in the future." Li Yuanchang said.
Knowing the seriousness of the problem, Hu Changcheng said, "My lord, what should we do now?"
The princes in the Tang Dynasty had great power. Although the prince itself was only a title, Li Shimin would give those brothers and sons the title of governor.
Take Li Tai as an example, the governor of more than 20 states in the distance.
If Li Tai quits, he will control the military and political power in more than 20 states.
Li Yuanchang has a governor of Liangzhou on his head, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under him. After all these years of his management, these tens of thousands of people have been completely controlled by him.
There are 10,000+ soldiers and horses standing outside the city of Chang'an alone, plus the palace guards, there are more than 20 soldiers and horses.
If there was no support in Chang'an City, his tens of thousands of people would probably be wiped out as soon as they left the fief, and it would be difficult to rebel.
"Don't worry, although the father said that he would not help the king, he has already persuaded the emperor, and the emperor has agreed to let the father participate in the winter hunting." Li Yuanchang said.
"The Supreme Emperor is unwilling to help His Highness. If the Supreme Emperor sees those old ministers and says something, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" Hu Changcheng said worriedly.
Over the years, those old ministers have begun to stay away from Li Yuanchang. If they know that Li Yuan does not support Li Yuanchang, let alone win them over, someone will report them directly.
Li Yuanchang pondered for a while and said: "They just doubt whether there is any support from the royal father behind this king. They only need the royal father to show up, which will naturally dispel their doubts. You tell them that there are many people in the winter hunting. Doubt, father can't see them alone."
"That's fine. After all, once the rebellion is leaked, they will die. Although those people may have doubts, for the sake of caution, they probably won't verify it." Hu Changcheng nodded.
"This king also thinks the same way. As long as there are those who can stabilize those people, it doesn't matter whether you have the support of the emperor." Li Yuanchang said.
At the beginning, he listened to Li Yuan and secretly accumulated strength, initially for the sake of filial piety.
Later he stopped thinking that way, and he was worried every day, was it for the purpose of overthrowing Li Shimin and making Li Yuan the emperor?
Although Li Yuan promised, after overthrowing Li Shimin, he will be crown prince.
But Li Yuan made such a promise to Li Shimin back then, so what happened in the end?
Besides, when you are a prince, how can you be an emperor yourself?
"My lord, according to my subordinates' investigations in the past few days, Princess Changle's future son-in-law, Marquis of Jingyang County, is very valued by His Majesty, and he is also very talented. If we can win him over, it will be a great help." Hu Changcheng Said.
"This king has heard about this person in the fief, but I'm afraid it's not easy to win over this person?" Li Yuanchang said.
"Although it is difficult, we have to try. This person is very important." Hu Changcheng said.
Li Yuanchang was a little surprised, and asked: "Although this person is talented, he doesn't have any real power. This king doesn't understand. How can he be so important?"
"Your Highness, in everything you do, you should pay attention to righteousness and righteousness. It is not righteous to treat your brother against your brother, not to mention that Your Highness is not the son of the Supreme Emperor." Hu Changcheng said.
Li Yuanchang's face was gloomy: "Li Shimin killed his brother and imprisoned his father, is that justifiable?"
"Your Highness, if you want to make things happen, it is not enough to rely on the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor. As Your Highness, it is difficult to win over the ministers in the court." Hu Changcheng said euphemistically.
Although some of Li Yuan's old ministers remained in the court, those people were suppressed by Li Shimin and did not have much power in their hands.
As Li Yuanchang, even if the ministers in the court had other intentions, it was impossible for him to support him.
Li Shimin has so many sons, who is not good to support?
Li Yuanchang naturally understood what Hu Changcheng meant. If he hadn't carried Li Yuan's banner, he wouldn't even be able to win over Li Yuan's old ministers.
"What does this have to do with Lin Xuan?" Li Yuanchang frowned.
Hu Changcheng said: "According to my investigation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts the Marquis of Jingyang County very much. If you can win him over, you can use this to connect with the Crown Prince."
"You're not kidding, are you? Even if the name is right, Li Shimin has so many sons, who can we find? The prince is the future heir, and will rebel with us?" Li Yuanchang said.
He asked himself, if he was the prince, he would not rebel.
As long as Li Shimin dies, he can succeed, so why rebel?
Although the rebellion can become the emperor faster, but if it fails, life will be gone.
