"What! Xieli escaped!" Li Yin returned to the palace. The soldiers patrolling the streets made him feel sure that something had happened. At this moment, Li Ke arrived at the Liang Palace under the protection of dozens of guards. It took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Li Ke's expression was very serious, a seriousness that Li Yin had never seen on his face before, "Father called all the ministers and the prince's Tai Chi Hall to discuss matters, and you have to go after roll call, let's go, go with me! "
Li Yan nodded, this is not the time to be casual, he rode Honghaier and Li Ke side by side to Tai Chi Palace.
At this time, the Taiji Hall was already in chaos, and the ministers were whispering, and the only thing they were talking about was Xieli. This shadow that once enveloped the Tang Dynasty broke free, and no one could predict what he would bring.
Li Yin and Li Ke entered the Tai Chi Hall, and a purple-robed minister greeted them, "Third Highness, have you thought about how you will respond later?"
"Lord Cen, don't worry, I've already made up my mind!" Li Ke said, the minister breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he notice Li Yin said: "Your Highness Sixth!"
Li Yin recognized this person. His name was Cen Wenwen, a student of Feng Deyi, a former veteran of the Sui Dynasty. After Feng Deyi died of illness, he obeyed Feng Deyi's will and kept supporting Li Ke secretly. At the same time, his talent was also recognized. Li Shimin's affirmation, as the prime minister in the court, deeply trusted Li Shimin.
"Master Cen!" Li Yin replied, when Li Shimin walked in, all the ministers immediately returned to their positions, and Li Yin also stood with the other princes.
Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy. Those who fought in front of the general's mansion were caught and committed suicide with poison, but the identities of these people were still recognized by Li Jiancheng's old general Xue Wanren, and they were Li Jiancheng's secret guards. , then the escape of Xieli is no longer just a matter of Turks!
"The matter of Xieli's escape must have been known to the ministers, and it has been found out just now that those who fought in front of the general's mansion were the secret guards of Prince Yin back then. Now let's talk about what to do?" Li Shimin sat down, Hong Sheng said.
Involving Prince Yin, there was a burst of discussion in the court. Although it has been seven years since the Xuanwumen Incident, that incident is still a painful topic for the Tang Dynasty and a topic that all officials avoid.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing at the moment is to immediately send a large army to control Jieli's troops. If they get news, they may change!" Li Jing said.
Changsun Wuji took a careful look at Li Shimin's face. He understood that Li Shimin's mentality was not good at this time. The secret guard incident must have reminded him of the **** storm that day. He said: "Your Majesty, General Li is right, please immediately Order the governors of the four prefectures of Ku, Hua, Chang, and Shun to call the soldiers to guard against the old Jieli tribe in these four prefectures!"
Li Shimin tried hard not to let himself recall the scene of that day, he said: "Li Jing, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, you three immediately go to Youzhou to sit in town!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Three generals in Mingguang armor respectfully led out.
After the three generals left, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, there is only one person who can mobilize Prince Yin's secret guards, and that is the former Princess Yin Chang He. Chang He Ding escaped to Turkic before the current collusion. , and according to the current situation, Chang He has not been lurking in Chang'an City for a day or two, and now it is time to completely eliminate the Prince Yin's party in Chang'an City!"
"You are in charge of this matter!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are the main planners of the Xuanwu Gate Change, and they also know Li Jiancheng's forces best, so it would be best if he was in charge.
After the two major events were settled, Li Shimin rubbed the center of his brows and asked, "Now that Jieli has escaped, there is no guarantee that he will not make a comeback in the future. The Tang Dynasty has just been peaceful for three years. Is it going to go through the flames of war again?"
"Father, I don't think you need to worry too much. Although Jieli escaped, regrouping the troops is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two, a month or two months, or even a year or two. Moreover, those who betrayed Jieli Li's grassland tribe killed Jieli before it was too late, let alone obey him. Even if he fled back to the grassland, he would be just a toothless tiger, unable to hurt anyone. Besides, our country is peaceful and peaceful, and our national strength is growing day by day. Even if he can make a comeback , we can defeat him!" Wei Wang Li Tai seized the opportunity and said.
Li Ke cast a glance at Li Tai, and said, "Although what Shi Lang said is reasonable, but Jieli has been operating in the grassland for decades, how can it be so simple, some tribes will not be guaranteed to vote for him, and if it wasn't for the Turkic internal conflicts back then, and Together with the Xueyantuo tribe, we did not defeat Xieli so easily. After the fall of the Turks, other tribes such as Xueyantuo and Tiele have been suppressed by our Tang Dynasty. They have long been dissatisfied. Gather a powerful army, so I thought that I should closely monitor the movements of the grassland tribes, and once I found Xieli's whereabouts, I immediately sent troops to wipe them out, so as not to give him any chance to grow!".
The words of Li Tai and Li Ke's sons have their own reasons. Li Shimin admired it secretly, and then looked at Li Chengqian: "Prince, what do you think!"
Li Shimin frowned in displeasure, Li Tai and Li Ke had gloating smiles in their eyes, while Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both sighed slightly. They did not expect the crown prince to come out like this at such a critical moment. flaws.
Li Shimin turned his head, ignored Li Chengqian, looked at Li Yin, and said, "Min'er, what do you think!"
Lowing his head, Li Min, who was about to finish his soy sauce and go home, never thought that Li Shimin would ask himself. He thought for a while and said, "Father, Jieli has died of illness!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yin's face. Many people showed kind or malicious smiles, and Li You laughed even more.
Li Ke looked anxious. This court hall is not Ganlu Palace, where you can say anything to Li Shimin at will. Here they are princes, and even courtiers. He said anxiously: "Liulang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Li Shimin frowned even tighter, Li Chengqian was just in a daze, this Li Yin was even more out of tune, and couldn't help but regret letting him come.
Li Yin ignored the astonished gazes of the crowd, and said, "Father, my son thinks that now Jieli is dead if he is alive, and he is dead if he is dead. Now we should announce to the world that Jieli Khan died of illness in Chang'an. First, it can stabilize the hearts of the people, and second, it can temporarily stabilize the Jieli descendant."
"Liulang, don't talk nonsense in front of the emperor, those prairie chiefs don't know Xieli, and they won't be all wrong when they see Xieli!" Li You sneered.
Li Yin didn't pay attention to Li You, and said in a calm manner: "This strategy of my minister is to confuse people's hearts. If everyone knows that Xieli has escaped now, those tribes who are wholeheartedly toward Xieli will definitely take the initiative to defect to Xieli. , and the news of Xieli’s death spread, these tribes will give up. The fifth brother said that people who have seen Xieli can recognize him. How many people have seen Xieli in the grassland today? Most of the people believe that Xieli is dead, so people's hearts cannot be united so quickly, and when they understand that Xieli is not dead, our Tang Dynasty has already recuperated for several years, and the country is strong, so why fear him Xieli!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Sixth Highness's strategy is a good way to confuse the grassland tribes! And those tribes who are already dissatisfied with Xieli's death will make a big fuss by taking advantage of the news of Xieli's death to eliminate Xieli's influence among their tribes." !" Cui Shao understood and praised, and the others also looked pensive.
Li Shimin smiled, and said: "What Min'er said is reasonable, it will indeed make it difficult for Jieli to move forward, but you can't relax on the grasslands, once there are traces of Jieli, immediately send troops to chase after him."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After discussing the way to deal with it, Li Shimin felt relieved and waved away.
After the next court, Li Ke walked up to Li Yin and said, "Liu Lang really has a deep secret, and he can come up with such an idea.
"This is called information warfare. Man-made rumors are created to confuse people and divide people's hearts!" Li Yin said as he walked.
"Information warfare?" is another new term, and Li Ke is no stranger to it. He said, "Can Liu Lang teach me what information warfare is?"
"Can!"
Li Ke was overjoyed, and said: "Then I will go to the Liang Palace some other day, and we will have a good discussion!"
Li Yin was quite surprised by Jieli's escape. Historically, Jieli died in depression in the eighth year of Zhenguan, and the time difference was one year. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the theory of parallel time and space left by his grandfather. The existence of time and space is separated from the original time and space and exists parallel to the original time and space. In this time and space, there is also a time and space that was born under the same conditions as our time and space. There may also exist planets that are the same as or have the same In the planets of history, there may also be people who are exactly the same as human beings.
At the same time, in these different time and space, the development of things will have different results. The history in our time and space may be constantly changing in another space. Thinking of this, Li Yin frowned. Could it be that Xieli escaped? Is it the beginning of the development and change of things?
This question is too esoteric, Li Yin thought about it for a while and then gave up. The excitement of life lies in the unknown ahead. If everything goes according to plan, it will not be too boring. After thinking about this, Li Yin is in a bad mood A little easier.
