Chapter 224: Li Shimin's Followers "Thanks to His Royal Highness's Hong Fu, my subordinates have been fine for the past two years, except for always thinking about His Highness, life is also smooth."
Xue Rengui was grateful.
Of course, he lied, in fact, he did not have a good life during this time, Li Zhi in order to deal with him, it can be said that the means are exhausted, in addition to the regular normal means such as cutting off water and food and sending a large army to take care of it, Li Zhi even used off-the-board tricks, such as bribing his guards to assassinate and so on.
Fortunately, there was a large amount of grain in the barracks, and the forces planted by Li Zhen in the city sent food and water through various means, which can be regarded as solving the crisis of the army, plus Li Zhi was also afraid that Xue Rengui would really be in a hurry, and he was even more worried about falling into the mouth (after all, the left guard was also the army of the imperial court), and he didn't dare to go too far, and after a period of time, he gave up after finding that the effect was not good.
But the assassination against him has never been stopped, bribing the guards to assassinate him, poisoning the food, etc., but fortunately, Xue Rengui's martial arts skills are good and he is cautious enough, so he didn't get hit, but because of Li Zhi's constant attacks, Xue Rengui actually hasn't had a good rest for a long time.
"It's okay, and this palace will be relieved."
Li Zhen has his own intelligence network, of course he knows what kind of life Xue Rengui is having these days, but he did not expose Xue Rengui, but decided in his heart that after the matter calms down, the emperor must compensate Xue Rengui.
As for now, it is still important to get down to business: "What about my father and mother?"
Are they safe?
” Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Your Majesty and the Empress are all fine, but a few concubines were frightened. ” "Fright?
What scare?
Li Zhen immediately grasped the point, since Li Shimin and Concubine Yan are fine, where is there any fright?
Could it be ......
Li Zhen had a bad guess in her heart......
Thinking of this, Li Zhen's face became gloomy......
"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, things haven't come to that point yet."
Xue Rengui also saw Li Zhen's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Although several ladies were indeed frightened, they were only frightened, and nothing else happened. ” Li Zhen frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?"
How did you learn to sell off?
” "That's the case......
Xue Rengui immediately said what happened......
"Before the subordinates came to Da'an Palace, a group of rout soldiers rushed into Da'an Palace and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob, Wei Guifei and several of them bore the brunt of the robbery, but fortunately, the subordinates arrived in time, killed the rout, and captured the leader alive, but Wei Guifei and several people were almost insulted by the rout, and their clothes were ......"
Speaking of this, Xue Rengui's face is also very unsightly, in terms of generation, these Li Shimin's concubines can be regarded as Li Zhen's mother, but now they are almost insulted by a group of routs, whether it is for Li Shimin or Li Zhen, It's a great shame.
"What a daring!"
Sure enough, when Li Zhen heard this, she was immediately furious: "This palace will definitely break all of them into pieces and feed them to the dogs, so that I can vent the hatred in my heart." ” "Your Highness, don't worry, the corpses of that group of thieves are still there, and the subordinates were originally prepared to do so."
A trace of evil also flashed in Xue Rengui's eyes, but he quickly disappeared and continued: "But a group of routs can be dealt with at any time, Your Highness should hurry up and meet Your Majesty, he has already known the news of your return and is waiting for you to come over." ” "That's right, don't forget about this matter, you must remind me later, it's important to go to see my father first."
"Your subordinates understand, Your Highness, please~" As he spoke, he let go of his body, and after Li Zhen passed, he followed closely, and slightly dropped Li Zhen's shoulder, without the majesty of the commanding general on the battlefield.
It can also be seen from here that Xue Rengui still has that attitude towards Li Zhen, it stands to reason that he is still the general of the Sixteenth Guard, and he is already the top senior official in the army, except for the fictitious general and the Tiance general who has only been obtained by Li Shimin and Li Zhi, and should never appear again in the future, he has reached the peak of the army, and he can hardly be saved.
In the future, even if it is promoted, at most, he will be appointed as the chief of the marching road during the war, leading tens of thousands of elites, conquest of foreign races, and immediately after the end of the war, he will return the military power, and then get some gold and silver rewards from the king, it is basically impossible to be promoted again, unless he gives up his military identity and enters the officialdom, just like Di Qing in the Song Dynasty, he can get one step closer to entering the prime minister.
But even so, Xue Rengui is still respectful to Li Zhen, he is not a person who does not know how to be grateful, he knows too well how his current achievements came from.
He has not forgotten his previous identity even now, it can be said that if there is no Li Zhen, he is an ordinary peasant, at most he is a little martial arts.
Although the main family who works by himself looks up to him and marries his daughter to him, if it is not for Li Zhen, this should be his peak.
This life may be to marry the daughter of the landlord's family, and then after the old man dies, inherit his family property and continue to be a rich landowner, this life may pass like this (he will not be a prophet, he does not know that he will have such great achievements in the future).
It was Li Zhen who gave himself a chance, a chance to dominate the world and leave a name for eternity, and he still can't forget that day......
He was about to go out to farm, but he saw a few people riding tall horses and dressed in beautiful clothes walking into his village and looking for him......
Then the next scene was like a dream, he still couldn't believe that it was true, the highest prince of the Tang Dynasty actually took a fancy to him, and sent someone to recruit him - where did he learn about his existence?
Is it really a heavenly book?
When he heard this, Xue Rengui was almost stunned, he subconsciously thought that this group of people were liars, but after thinking about it carefully, his family was surrounded by walls, there was nothing, where was there anything worth being deceived?
Coupled with his own ability, who can keep himself in the world?
I simply followed them with the idea of going to see it by surprise.
What's more, even if they are liars, the clothes of this group of people are genuine, and the high-headed horses under the crotch are also authentic Turkic war horses, after all, the ancestors of the Xue family are broad, and he still has this eyesight, these two things are valuable and good things in the market.
If they are really liars, it will be a big deal to rob them when the time comes, forgive them A group of liars would not dare to report to the official, and with these horses and clothes, it is enough for him to eat for several years - if Li Zhen knew that in the face of his own solicitation, Xue Rengui was pretending to be black at the beginning, I don't know what kind of expression he would have.
As a result, Xue Rengui was shocked that these people were really not liars, they were really people sent by King Yue to find him, he was taken to the palace and met the person who was enough to change his fate - although Li Zhen was only three or four years old at that time, Xue Rengui still offered his loyalty to Li Zhen.
At least, compared to farming at home, being a prince is much more promising.
What's more, this young prince is about to replace the Tang Emperor and participate in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and he can also make contributions in this war......
What happened next, everyone already knows, Xue Rengui followed Li Zhen to sweep the Turks, captured Jieli alive, provoked Hui and Xue Yantuo, pacified the Turkic steppe, and became a new star in the army......

Except for the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo because he was in Lingnan at the time and did not participate, he participated in all the foreign wars of the Tang Dynasty in the past 20 years, and was promoted to the highest point of the military of the Sixteen Wei General because of his merits, and he was almost unpromoted.
However, even so, he was still the same when he faced Li Zhen, because he knew very well that he could have all this today because of Li Zhen's insight, he didn't know where Li Zhen heard his name, but if it weren't for Li Zhen's discovery and promotion, he wouldn't have gotten all of this today.
"Your Highness, when you arrive, Your Majesty will live here."
Xue Rengui took Li Zhen to a side hall.
"Here?
How could my father live in a side hall?
Well, I think I get the ......"
Seeing this side hall, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, with Li Shimin's identity, shouldn't he live in the main hall?
Then suddenly, this Da'an Palace is where Li Shimin imprisoned Li Yuan after all, and Li Zhi is now following his example and imprisoning him here, which is undoubtedly a great irony for Li Shimin, and it can almost be said that he is blatantly slapping Li Shimin in the face.
As a generation of saints, where can Li Shimin stand this kind of insult?
It's a pity that the current form is that Li Zhi is strong and he is weak, Li Shimin has almost lost all means of resistance, and he has to give in because of Li Zhi's obscenity.
It's just that surrender is submission, Li Shimin also has his own pride after all, even if he is locked up in Da'an Palace, he will not live where Li Yuan once lived, but chose a relatively remote palace to live in, which can be regarded as a silent struggle against Li Zhi.
"The slave maid has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness, you can be regarded as coming, Your Majesty has thanked you for the flowers waiting......"
Wang Tingchu had already been waiting outside, and when he saw Li Zhen coming, he immediately paid a big salute - God is pitiful, how much pressure has he been under these days?
Now that Li Zhen is here, this means that Li Zhi has failed, which is undoubtedly good news for him, otherwise looking at Li Zhi's nonsense, he is really worried that he will not be able to endure it and rise up to resist.
That's right, although Li Shimin was put under house arrest by Li Zhi, this does not mean that he has no room for resistance - to be honest, an emperor like Li Shimin, especially if he still became an emperor by virtue of a coup d'état, it is impossible to say that he has not taken precautions against these things.
Not to mention that he himself had already noticed in advance that Li Zhi was the Heavenly King, and he must have prevented Li Zhi from doing so.
It's a pity that he didn't expect Li Zhi to be so frustrated, exchanging the future land of the Tang Dynasty for the support of Confucianism and Buddhism.
But although Li Zhi got most of the power in Li Shimin's hands, because no one knew about this backhand, it was naturally impossible to talk about being seized by Li Zhi.
And this back hand is in the hands of Wang Tingchu.
Originally, according to Wang Tingchu's meaning, he directly took out his back hand and fought with Li Zhi, but after thinking about it, Li Shimin still refused, the reason is very simple, not to mention that Li Zhi is now in a good situation, his back hand can still successfully restrain Li Zhi, even if Li Zhi is really killed?
Now the biggest crisis in Datang is not Li Zhi, but the interest group formed by Confucianism and Buddhism, which is the biggest crisis in Datang today.
Now that they have exposed their true colors, once Li Shimin returns to power, then none of these people and forces who have rebelled against him will survive, even if it is at the cost of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin will not hesitate.
This is not only known to Li Shimin, but also to the tripartite alliance, so they will never allow Li Shimin to take the position.
And Li Shimin's secret backhand may be able to expel Li Zhi, but if he wants to fight against the freak of the tripartite alliance, he still can't catch it.
It is conceivable that once Li Shimin defeats Li Zhen and returns to power, then the tripartite alliance that has shown its fangs will definitely not allow Li Shimin to live, otherwise once Li Shimin stabilizes the government, it will be their death after that.
Therefore, once he regains the throne, but Li Shimin, who has not had time to sort out the court, will face a situation that is even worse than Li Zhi's forced palace, and he who has not integrated his own forces will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the tripartite alliance, and he will really be 'violently killed' at that time.
Therefore, in order to protect himself, Li Shimin temporarily stopped the idea of resisting, but turned into a good baby, honestly followed Li Zhi's instructions, and never took a step out of Da'an Palace, and doing so was tantamount to pushing Li Zhi to the front of the stage, with his protection, Li Shimin is absolutely safe, even if the family wants to kill Li Shi, Li Zhi will not agree.
Li Shimin has pretended to be a grandson in Da'an Palace for so long, in order to wait for Li Zhen to return, once Li Zhen returns to Chang'an with the army, his back hand will be launched immediately, and Li Zhen should cooperate with the outside, Li Zhen's army into the city is as easy as a finger, just like the knife last night - that's right, the assassin who assassinated Li Zhi was sent by Li Shimin himself, and the poison used by the assassin was also provided by Li Shimin, otherwise a small guard, where would he have the ability to get such a weird poison?
After all, a poison that can expand with the breath is not an ordinary thing to think about, how can a little guard get his hands on it?
