Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 136 Unexpected visitor
Chapter 174 Unexpected visitor
Li Shimin is usually smiling, but his face is extremely black-bellied. There are countless people who have been tricked by him. In theory, even his father Li Yuan has been tricked by him, and he has tricked him not lightly.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin must have cultivated countless confidantes.

All conspiracies are nothing but tricks in the face of absolute strength.

A major cleansing began in the palace. Since the reign of Zhenguan, there have been three such cleansings, and every time the cleansing, blood flowed into rivers.

The change of Xuanwumen in the first year of Zhenguan, the eradication of the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, and the eradication of the prince's lineage in the first two years.

These three times were the largest cleansing plans during the Zhenguan period. In comparison, the scope of this cleansing seems to be broader.

Everyone in the palace, except the emperor, had to be investigated. Thousands of Xuanjia soldiers guarded the gates of the palace. Once an assassin with a secret door was discovered, they would be killed immediately!

However, this secret door organization is still too mysterious, and all the assassins are connected through a single line, so the subordinates cannot know who the superior is.

If one of the assassins had an accident, the whole clue would be cut off, and nothing could be found even if one tried to find out.

Cheng Yaojin found many assassins according to the clues before, but after further investigation, he found that he could not find anything.

So now, Li Shimin directly ordered, since there is no way to follow the vine, then cut the grass and root out.

Let's not judge, just do it directly!
"Don't worry, Datang's country cannot be shaken by these jumping clowns, but you should be careful in the future, after these two assassinations, this organization should be targeting you!"

As Cheng Yaojin said, he couldn't help but began to gloat, "Did you do something bad and you were caught by someone?"

"impossible…"

Li Chengqian frowned, "I've been keeping a low profile during this time in Chang'an, didn't I offend anyone?"

"Hey, these assassins are all ordinary rangers. They cannot stop the elites of the Tang Dynasty. But you have to be careful when you go out in the future. It is best to bring a few guards with you."

Li Chengqian sighed, his face was a little ugly, "Can't we check again, it's not good to keep an assassin organization like a secret door?"

"There are too many assassin organizations in the world. If we want to deal with them all, the government will have to be busy!" Cheng Yaojin curled his lips.

"... "

A group of passive and sabotage bastards, you should check it carefully.

"Okay, I'm here today to remind you..."

Cheng Yaojin stood up, turned his head and glanced at Sun Simiao and Hua Tuo who were chatting, and said with a smile: "Doctor Sun, Your Majesty has been ill recently, so I would like to invite you into the palace to have a look."

Sun Simiao said, "I see."

Then he looked at Hua Tuo, "Brother Hua, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, don't worry, I will find you in the future!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for you!"

After the two stared at each other affectionately for a while, Cheng Yaojin carried Sun Simiao with goosebumps all over his body, like a vulgar villain who beats a mandarin duck, and took Sun Simiao away with a ferocious face.

Hua Tuo watched him go away with a look of reluctance, with tears in his eyes. If the occasion was right at this time, the melody of "You are the wind and I am the sand" should be ringing in everyone's ears.

...

Three days later, Li Chengqian's injury was no longer serious, and he was planning to return to Qianzhou, but Li Shimin suddenly ordered Li Chengqian to stay in Chang'an first, and leave with the master of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning of July.

After hearing this order, Li Chengqian was stunned.

Li Shimin meant that he wanted to go to Qianzhou with him, right?
In addition to Li Chengqian's affairs, Li Shimin also has a new treatment for Li Tai and Li Zhi.

Li Tai stayed in Chang'an City, while Li Zhi was in charge of guarding Luoyang. The arrangement of the two princes was clear, and at the same time, the dispute between the princes seemed to be looming.

Although Luoyang is called together with Chang'an, the accompanying capital is always the accompanying capital. No matter how prosperous it is, it cannot be compared with Chang'an.

Now Li Tai is in charge of Chang'an, and Li Zhi is in charge of Luoyang. If there is no accident, Li Tai will be announced as the new prince when Li Shimin returns from the Eastern Expedition.

Reasonable, unexpected.

Everyone knows that Li Tai has a high chance of becoming the crown prince, but it will take a period of fighting to choose the crown prince. Who would have thought that Li Shimin would make a decision so quickly.

...

While recuperating in King Qian's Mansion, an unexpected person came to visit him suddenly.

One day, Li Chengqian was fighting Su Han and Wu Yan for the landlord, when there was a knock on the door outside.

This time it is no longer "dong dong dong", but "pang pong pong".

Why did the voice change...Because Li Chengqian replaced the wooden door with an iron door a long time ago, just to prevent that guy named Cheng Yaojin from destroying property.

But this time, the person who came to the door was not Cheng Yaojin, but another thin old man with particularly bright eyes.

"You are..." Li Chengqian looked at him suspiciously.

The old man bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is indeed a busy person, have you forgotten that when you were young, this old man hugged you!"

Li Chengqian: "..."

Heard that again...huh?Why do you say again?
"Ahem... May I ask you are..."

"My name is Zhang Liang."

Zhang Liang?

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this old man was Zhang Liang, one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Zhang Liang was born in a poor and humble family, and he worked as a farmer when he was young. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi led the Wagang Army to fight in Xingyang and Kaifeng. It is really difficult for Cao Mang to get ahead, so he can only be a moderate leader.

Until one day, someone in the Wagang Army felt that there was no way out for being a rebel, so he wanted to rebel.

According to their thinking, the Wagang Army is an anti-army. If they rebel in the anti-army, wouldn't they be with the imperial court?

This idea, to use a more cultured phrase, is "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Since you can't win, join the opponent unknowingly.

Unfortunately, before the traitors had time to do something, Zhang Liang told Li Mi about them.

Li Mi thought that Zhang Liang was a loyal person, so he appointed him as Hussar General, under the command of Li Yang Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji was Li Ji before he changed his name.

Not long after, the Wagang army failed, and Zhang Liang and Li Ji defected to the Tang army.

Li Yuan appointed him as the governor of Zhengzhou. At that time, Zhengzhou was captured by Wang Shichong, and Zhang Liang was unable to take up the post, so he fled to Gongcheng Mountain.

Soon, he was changed to inspector Dingzhou Biejia.

In the fourth year of Wude, Liu Heitai rebelled, and Li Ji was ordered to crusade, and Zhang Liang was ordered to guard Xiangzhou.

As a result, Zhang Liang saw that the enemy army was strong, so he abandoned the city and fled. So until now, Li Ji has always looked down upon Zhang Liang.

However, Fang Xuanling felt that Zhang Liang was a talent, and then recommended him to enter Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion as a chariot general.

Afterwards, Zhang Liang was just like cheating on him, and soon caught up with Li Shimin and was regarded as a confidant.

In the ninth year of Wude, the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng intensified.

Zhang Liang was ordered to go to Luoyang and secretly contact the heroes of Shandong in case the situation changed.

When King Li Yuanji of Qi learned of this, he ran to Li Yuan to report Zhang Liang's evil intentions.

Li Yuan ordered Yousi to torture Zhang Liang. Fortunately, Zhang Liang kept his secret and was finally released and sent back to Luoyang.

Soon, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and ascended to the throne of God. Zhang Liang was named General Youwei, Governor of Huaizhou, and Duke of Changping County because of his meritorious service.
