Li Daozong shrugged indifferently and continued to drink, talking to himself while drinking.

"The emperor entered Chang'an, and in order to get the support of Li Jing, he would not easily kill Li Jing. Xu Maogong is from Shandong. Although he followed Li Shimin to fight against Wang Shichong, Xu Maogong was always cautious in his side. Whatever he said was that, he was definitely not a righteous person. He would not disturb the power struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin."

At this time, after drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Daozong's face turned red and his tongue became bigger.

"During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Xu Maogong was the general manager of the marching at that time. Hehe, how powerful is the general manager of the marching?... He was the temporary supervision of the expedition troops on behalf of the emperor... His position was not necessary to work for Li Shimin. To put it bluntly, in fact, those who have been encouraging Li Shimin to make up their minds were the people of the Qin Palace. Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Zhang Gongjin, Changsun Wuji and others. Of course, those who urged Li Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin were nothing but those of Wei Zheng's prince's mansion. As for others, like our brothers, they just stood there without saying a word, and they didn't care about his brothers' minds."

"Chengfan, you're drunk!"

Li Xiaogong frowned and looked around cautiously.

"Look at your timidity... The more you make a contribution, the less courageous you are."

Li Daozong didn't know why today, but he couldn't stop his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth. I don't know if he had been holding it in his arms for a long time or if he was thinking that way in his heart.

"Li Jing and Xu Maogong are amazing. With their abilities, they don't have to wade into this muddy water at all. Moreover, they are not the direct descendants of the Qin Prince's Mansion. No matter who comes to power, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will not be highly valued, and of course they will not be abandoned. This is different from us. After all, we are royal families. If something happens, the emperor will have to use it. However, for this reason, Li Jing and Xu Maogong are indeed not necessary to get involved in the struggle between the Li brothers. Anyway, everyone has meat to eat, so why take this risk."

"Li Shimin launched a mutiny and could not ask their opinions. In other words, even if Li Shimin solicited opinions, it was not asking them to support themselves in the mutiny. However, Li Jiancheng was aggressive at the time and Li Shimin was under great pressure, so he asked his two old friends for help, hoping that they would speak to the emperor and let the emperor change his view of him, Li Shimin."

"Or the other hand, let the two mediate the relationship between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers, don't make it out of control. In fact, Li Jing and Xu Maogong can talk to the emperor and Li Jiancheng. But the two did not get involved in this matter, so Xu Maogong said that this is your family matter."

"As the saying goes, "Don't be separated from each other, the two of them mean: We are both outsiders and are not familiar with you brothers. The water inside is so deep, and keeping silent is the best way to deal with it."

"But in fact, Li Shimin did not want to win their support, as long as they did not object, they would be the greatest support. Their rejection actually gave Li Shimin a satisfactory answer. Let's play, we just watch the show. That's why Li Shimin dared to give it a try."

After Li Daozong took a few glasses of wine, his eyes became more and more confused, and he even began to dance.

Li Xiaogong knew that he was not like this usually, and now he said such things must have profound meanings.

Sure enough, after Li Daozongha smelled a sip of alcohol, he finally spoke.

"After saying so much, what I want to say is that today is different from the past. Li Shimin eventually failed in the Xuanwu Gate mutiny and died. Li Jiancheng also became the dead soul under his sword. Now the new crown prince Li Chengdao is in power. We can no longer deal with it in the original way."

"Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, Li Xiaogong, you have also seen Li Chengdao's methods, the artillery that destroys the world and kills people invisible rifles. What a terrible force."

When he heard the cannons and rifles, Li Xiaogong's eyes became obviously sharp.

"Hehe, but Li Chengdao's hands are only 3,000 people. This is the weakest moment before his power has expanded. If he wants to ascend to that position, he must cultivate his own power in the army. With the means and strength he has shown now, no one in the entire Tang army will be able to refuse Li Chengdao's appeal in a few years."

"Whoever can surrender first will be given priority to those artillery and rifles. Whoever has the support of Li Chengdao will become the elite among the entire Tang Dynasty's elite."

"Now, whether it is Li Jing, Xu Maogong, or you, Li Xiaogong, are still immersed in the shock of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. You all regard the emperor as Li Jiancheng during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Li Chengdao as Li Shimin during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, so you don't dare to stand in a team? You still want to continue to be neutral and wait and see. After the power of the emperor and Li Chengdao has a clear change, or when the emperor expresses his or her to let Li Chengdao go, then make a choice?"

"Li Xiaogong, do you think that the emperor is in power now, so you can't lean against the prince, for fear of being even more suspicious of the emperor! Do you think that the Eastern Palace will dominate the Eastern Palace? Do you think that although Li Chengdao is temporarily in power, as long as the emperor is still in that position, he cannot do whatever he wants!"

Li Daozong looked at Li Xiaogong with red eyes. The latter frowned and grabbed his palm tightly on the handle of the chair. Even because he tried too hard, he pinched a deep handprint on Huanghualimu's hand.

"It goes without saying that you must be thinking so. Not only you, but the entire Tang army thinks so. They all think that whoever dares to lean towards the East Palace at this time will be taken down by the emperor with thunder."

Li Daozong's body slowly tilted forward.

"Only I gambled, and I gambled right."

"you!"

Li Xiaogong looked shocked and stood up. He never expected that his friend would really dare to lean towards the East Palace at such a time.

You should know that he is a military general. Li Yuan had just experienced the Xuanwu Gate Incident. If he had such a military general who had real power leaned towards the East Palace, then the power of the East Palace would be too great. If another round of mutiny was launched, how would Li Yuan handle himself? (They didn't know that Li Yuan was fake)

Although the Eastern Palace won the Xuanwu Gate Incident and Li Chengdao also showed weapons that shocked the world, there were few people in the Eastern Palace. As long as the army surrounded the Eastern Palace and surrounded it with hard bows and crossbows, Li Chengdao's artillery was inconvenient to move, and the muskets could not be used in the street battle in the narrow city, so he would definitely throw a rat and avoid weapons.

Based on this consideration, the military officers of the Tang Dynasty felt that although the Eastern Palace was about to rise, it would take at least a few years, or even more than ten years, during which time Li Yuan would try his best to suppress it. Especially these military officers must not approach the Eastern Palace at this time. They can only wait until the power of the Eastern Palace expands to the point where Li Yuan can't suppress it, and they can only tentatively lean towards the Eastern Palace, just like the military's strategy of treating the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

And at that time, even if Li Yuan knew that the military was turning to Li Chengdao, he would not be able to stop him.
