Li Shimin cupped his hands and said, "Father, I think this must be Liu Ziqiu's invitation to buy people's hearts!"

Li Yuan lifted his spirits, waved his hands and said, "Continue talking!"

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled up slightly, with a bit of complacency: "The great man has been in peace for a long time, and there are praises all over the world. I'm afraid Liu Ziqiu is already in a trance. I don't know how much he has. From Liu Ziqiu's point of view, there are no enemies in this world anymore." However, some people who opposed him at the beginning may have long been wiped out, and Wang Shichong is naturally among them. Otherwise, why did he choose Wang Shichong's daughter as the princess at this time, and choose a husband for her with great fanfare? From a child’s point of view, Liu Ziqiu must think that Wang Shichong will not pose any threat to him, whether he lives or dies, so he named Wang Shichong’s daughter to show his magnanimity.”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "What my son said is true. If Liu Ziqiu knew that Wang Shichong was not only alive, but also secretly accumulating strength, he would be surprised. However, this also shows that Liu Ziqiu has begun to slack off, and maybe we can find out from it. Chance."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Father, as long as there is no chaos in the world, no matter how lax Liu Ziqiu is, we may not have a chance."

Li Yuan snapped a few cases viciously: "Then find a way to make him mess up!"

Li Shimin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Could it be that father has a good plan?"

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Wang Shichong should have seen this edict."

Li Shimin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Liu Ziqiu gave his daughter such courtesy, Wang Shichong was too happy, so why would he add trouble?"

Li Yuan sneered and said, "Wang Shichong's daughter fell into Liu Ziqiu's hands for almost six years. In six years, the child was born. You send someone to tell Wang Shichong, saying that there is news from the palace that Liu Ziqiu is tired of playing with him." Daughter, it doesn't count if you want to kick his daughter away now, but also make his daughter make a fool of herself in front of everyone!"

……

To the north of Longxi is Huining County. In Huining County, there is a big river called Zulichuan. There is also a manor on the west bank of Zulichuan. Wang Shichong, who has been missing for many years, hides here.

That year, after Wang Shichong was defeated, he went to Li Yuan and confessed the secret between Xiao Dapeng and Xiao Bin.Therefore, Li Yuan spared Wang Shichong's life and put him under house arrest temporarily.Later, seeing that Luoyang City could not hold it anymore, Li Yuan quietly released Wang Shichong and gave him a large sum of money.Because Li Yuan knew very well that there was an indissoluble hatred between Wang Shichong and Liu Ziqiu, he would definitely fight against Liu Ziqiu to the end, which also planted a hidden danger for Liu Ziqiu.

For Li Yuan, releasing Wang Shichong was also a risky move.Because they were once hostile to each other, and Wang Shichong has become a lonely family now, and it is very likely that he will take the risk and inform Liu Ziqiu to protect himself.But Li Yuan did it anyway, because he firmly believed that an enemy's enemy is a friend.There are no permanent enemies or friends in this world, only permanent interests.The common interest between him and Wang Shichong is to overthrow Liu Ziqiu's Han Dynasty, so he decided to take a gamble.

Facts proved that Li Yuan was right. Wang Shichong did not inform Liu Ziqiu, but fled to Longxi, which was still under the control of the Li family at that time.In order to win the support of the greatest strength, Liu Ziqiu asked the Li family to manage Longxi County, which seemed to be the core of Liu Ziqiu's sphere of influence. In fact, Liu Ziqiu did not station many troops there, but it was safer. Wang Shichong also lurked in Longxi.

Later, Li Yuan's family also moved to Longxi and met Wang Shichong.And Wang Shichong also adopted Li Yuan's suggestion. After the situation stabilized, he moved to the more desolate Huining County, echoing Li Yuanyao's thoughts.In fact, there are spies all around Li Yuan's house. If Wang Shichong doesn't leave, he will be discovered sooner or later.

After arriving in Huining, Wang Shichong bought a house and land with the money Li Yuan gave him, and gradually he became a rich man.And Wang Shichong also has a favorable condition, he is a barbarian from Persia.In recent years, Liu Ziqiu encouraged trade, and more and more Hu people came to the Central Plains to do business. Some Hu people even settled down in the Central Plains, gradually forming a group of Hu people.Wang Shichong has lived in the Central Plains for many years. He is familiar with the customs and habits of the Han people in the Central Plains.

Most of the Hu people in the Central Plains are engaged in business, and the accumulation of wealth is very rapid.With money, you can recruit soldiers and horses. Wang Shichong recruited a group of desperadoes in the name of guarding the house, looking forward to a comeback one day.Therefore, he also pays close attention to the movements of the court all the time.The edict about his daughter had just reached Huining when he got the news.

Holding that edict, Wang Shichong couldn't calm down for a long time.Back then in Jiangdu, he doted on this daughter the most.It's just that at that time, in order to escape for his life, he didn't take care of taking his daughter away, and later lost her daughter's news.Women in war are the most tragic. Wang Shichong asked many ways, but he could not get any news about his daughter. Presumably, his daughter has fallen into the hands of thieves, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.Now, the news of his daughter suddenly appeared in front of him, and she was going to be named princess, how could this not excite him?

Wang Shichong wandered around the room for a long time, already in tears, and finally couldn't help but said: "Wang San, gather people and follow me to Luoyang!"

Wang San was originally a horse thief in the northwest area, and he was also a barbarian. Later, he defected to Wang Shichong and changed his name to Wang San. He won Wang Shichong's trust and knew some of Wang Shichong's plots.Hearing that Wang Shichong was going to Luoyang, Wang San hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, this is too dangerous, please think again!"

Wang Shichong was eager to miss her, shook his head, and said, "No, I have to arrive in Luoyang before the New Year, you should make preparations!"

Just as Wang San was about to persuade him, another confidant slipped in from the door and whispered, "My lord, someone from Longxi is here!"

In order to avoid leaking his traces, Wang Shichong did not have much contact with Li Yuan in normal times.Unless Li Yuan sent someone, he seldom took the initiative to find him.However, Li Yuan also knew that he was actually under close surveillance by Liu Ziqiu, and he would not send anyone to see Wang Shichong unless there were special circumstances.Today, when Li Yuan sent someone over suddenly, Wang Shichong knew that something important must have happened, so he nodded and said, "Please meet him in the secret room!"

This manor is Wang Shichong's own territory, so he naturally spared no effort to manage it.From the outside, the manor is surrounded by green trees, very ordinary.In fact, there are countless traps hidden in the woods, deep trenches have also been dug in the courtyard walls, and there are many complicated secret passages.Even if there are thousands of troops and horses to attack, Wang Shichong believes that he can last for many days.

There are many secret rooms in the manor, and there is a special secret room for receiving visitors from Longxi.When Wang Shichong entered the secret room, the people from Longxi were already sitting inside.The man was wearing a wide hat and a black robe, with his head lowered, so outsiders couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Wang Shichong frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, what is the purpose of coming here?"

The man raised his head and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, Mr. Wang!"

Wang Shichong saw the man's face clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Second Young Master! What happened to the second young master, dare to trouble the Second Young Master!"

It was Li Shimin who came. He waved his hand and said, "Master Wang must have seen the edict issued by Liu Ziqiu?"

Wang Shichong suddenly sneered and said: "Second Young Master, don't try to persuade me, I have made up my mind, and I will definitely go to Luoyang for this encounter!"

Li Shimin smiled lightly and said: "My lord Wang misunderstood, you don't dare to talk too much whether you are going to Luoyang or not. The boy came here this time just to tell Mr. Wang a piece of news, lest Mr. Wang fall into the trick of Liu Ziqiu and mistake him Be good!"

Wang Shichong had already calmed down, staring at Li Shimin's eyes like torches, snorted, and said, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, how can the enmity between me and Liu Ziqiu be resolved so easily? I'm going to Luoyang this time, just take a look in secret. Daughter, I will never act rashly, lest something big happen."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Since Mr. Wang has such a heart, the boy has nothing to say. However, there is something that the boy can't help but tell the lord..."

Then, Li Shimin spoke out the set of words that Li Yuan taught him.After hearing these words, Wang Shichong fell to the ground at once, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Ziqiu dares to bully my mother, I am incompatible with him!"

Wang San, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Where does Second Young Master come from with such secret news?"

The folk customs in the Northwest are tough, Wang San, as a barbarian, was able to pull up a team here for many years, and he could not do it by force alone. His mind was also meticulous.Moreover, Wang Shichong relied on him as his confidant, including many things in the past. He naturally knew the past between Wang Shichong and Li Yuan, and he was always on guard against Li Yuan. It was absolutely impossible to believe what Li Yuan said, let alone believe that Li Yuan would send him. The most beloved second son came to Huining at great risk just to tell Wang Shichong the news.

You know, there are many spies around Li Yuan's manor in Longxi almost every moment.No matter where Li Yuan and his son went, spies would follow them from afar.That's why Li Shimin disguised himself carefully.However, he travels openly, and there is no danger other than being followed.As for sneaking in disguise, once discovered by the imperial spies, he will definitely be interrogated back and forth, and even put him in prison for strict interrogation, but Li Shimin still came.

The danger does not lie only in the secret agents of the court. The grievances between Wang Shichong and Li Yuan will also bring danger to Li Shimin.No one can guarantee whether Wang Shichong will suddenly attack and kill or detain Li Shimin.Therefore, in the past, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong only sent some capable subordinates to pass news to Wang Shichong, and Li Shimin had never been sent in person.

Li Shimin seemed to know Wang San's question, and said with a smile, "Because my father buried a chess piece in Liu Ziqiu's palace!"
