Chapter 231 Borrowing a knife to kill
If it were an ordinary person, he might not know the connection here at all.
But as the intelligence leader of His Majesty Li Er, Li Junxian naturally knew why Li Shimin was like this.
Duke Duke Duke Duan Zhixuan is actually a typical inspirational figure who makes a comeback.
When I was a teenager, I didn’t do my job properly and only knew how to cause trouble.
According to historical records, Duan Zhixuan has a majestic figure and a majestic weapon, but he is a scoundrel and has repeatedly violated laws and regulations.
From this, it can be seen that Duan Zhixuan was a bad boy when he was a child.
In 611 (the seventh year of Daye), Emperor Yang of Sui went to Goguryeo. Duan Zhixuan was fourteen years old and applied for the recruitment.
Later, Duan Zhixuan lived in Taiyuan with his father and was appreciated by Li Shimin.
Later, Duan Zhixuan made many achievements and was promoted to the second right guardian of the Qin Palace for his merits.
In 626 (the ninth year of Wude), Prince Li Jiancheng wanted to murder Li Shimin and bribe Duan Zhixuan with a large sum of money, in an attempt to lure him into surrender.
Duan Zhixuan refused to accept it and informed Li Shimin of the matter. Later, he and Yuchi Jingde and others launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Soon after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Duan Zhixuan was appointed as the General of Zuo Xiaowei, and was granted the title of Duke Fan.
After that, Duan Zhixuan has always been in a high position and was just renamed Duke Bao last year. Since then, he has also been regarded as the most powerful minister.
If we only look at his life and deeds, Duan Zhixuan can be said to be a loyal general. Unfortunately, as his official position grows higher, Duan Zhixuan is a little favored and arrogant.
Sometimes even Li Shimin's orders were disobedient and seemed restless.
Not only did he make friends with aristocratic families, he even brought the soldiers back to his mansion as private soldiers.
Of course, all kinds of actions are not favored by His Majesty Li Er.
I was just about to find an opportunity to beat Duke Bao.
This time Yang Fan and Duan Guan had a conflict, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely make a big deal.
Although he didn't want a bloody incident in the New Year, since it had happened, His Majesty Li Er certainly hopes to use Yang Fan's hand to warn him.
Furthermore, if His Majesty Li Er arrested and punished Yang Fan now, outsiders would not think that it was because Yang Fan violated Li Shimin's taboo.
It would only be believed that Li Shimin still defended Duke Baoguo Duke Duke Duke, which is inconsistent with Li Shimin's inner thoughts.
On the contrary, if you follow the opportunity to watch Yang Fan make a big fuss, Duan Zhixuan would definitely think that it was His Majesty Li Er who used Yang Fan's hand to hit him, which was exactly what Li Er wanted.
Of course, Li Shimin would not easily forgive Yang Fan's mistakes.
Who let Yang Fan's hammer stir up the thorn in His Majesty Li Er's heart!
Li Junxian could foresee that after Yang Fan caused Duan Guan's trouble, His Majesty Li Er would definitely hold his anger in his heart.
When you have the chance, you will settle the new and old accounts together.
Li Junxian sighed slightly, and was already silent for Yang Fan.
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan was smart all his life, but he was also a gunman one day.
What's even more nonsense is that there is no benefit at all!
However, Li Junxian admires Yang Fan's fate even more.
All along, Yang Fan is either trying to die or on the way to die.
But I admire you for being able to escape danger every time!
I really want to see what way Yang Fan can escape this time.
In fact, Li Junxian looked down on Yang Fan a little.
Although before saying that Duan Guan's arm was to be cut off, Yang Fan had already guessed that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with Duke Bao Guo Duan Zhixuan.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan did not hesitate to take action after Duan Zan arrived with the guards.
According to historical records, Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan had an interesting story.
In the original history, in 636, when Empress Changsun was buried, Duan Zhixuan, Yu Wenshi and his troops were led to guard Suzhangmen.
Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin sent envoys to their two garrisons at night.
Yu Wenshi opened the door and let the envoys go in, while Duan Zhixuan closed the door and refused to let the envoys come in, and praised: "The military gate cannot be opened at night."
The messenger said, "I have the emperor's order."
Duan Zhixuan said: "It is difficult to tell the authenticity at night."
The messenger had no choice but to wait till dawn.
After hearing this, Emperor Taizong of Tang praised: "This is the real general, and Zhou Yafu is nothing more than that."
Although this story praises Duan Zhixuan's righteousness with a positive image.
In fact, you can feel the anger and dissatisfaction in Li Shimin.
As the emperor, Li Shimin was such a conceited emperor, but his subordinates did not implement the orders he gave.
If Li Shimin is not angry, he is really a saint!
Is Li Shimin a saint?
The answer is no.
Then why did the envoy be stopped and refused to let go, and Li Shimin praised Duan Zhixuan instead?
Actually it's easy to understand.
On the one hand, Li Shimin showed his magnanimity and the measure of his wise ruler.
On the other hand, it should be painted by historical books to praise Li Shimin.
Secretly, Li Shimin may have been thinking about how to kill this disobedient subordinate!
Who is Li Shimin?
That was a decisive and cruel emperor.
Duan Zhixuan did not listen to his orders to open the door, but Li Shimin wanted to reward him instead, and it was impossible to think about it with his butt.
From these we can see that Li Shimin and Duan Zhixian should have had conflicts for a long time, or Duan Zhixuan was arrogant and did not obey orders.
Although because of her own reasons, Changsun Wugui did not die last year, nor did the above story happen.
But it can be imagined that the relationship between His Majesty Li Er and Duan Zhixuan should not be too harmonious, which is why Yang Fan dared to commit crimes against the wind.
In Yang Fan's view, a Duke who was suspected by the emperor would not be able to make Yang Fan a turtle even if he had a high position and a powerful position.
At the halfway up the mountain of Mount Li, Yang Fan and the others were still confronting Duan Zan.
Yang Fan's words also made Duan Zan dare not act rashly.
If the imperial guards are forcibly allowed to take action, once this is reached by His Majesty Li Er, it will be a big trouble!
But if Duan Zan retreats, he will definitely be unwilling to accept it. What is the face of the Duke Bao Mansion in the future?
For a moment, I was in a dilemma, and even had difficulty in getting on the brink of death.
At some point, Duan Guan had already woken up slowly.
Hearing the discussion of the people who were eating melons competing for their family property, he saw that his elder brother had not ordered the imperial guard to capture Yang Fan, Duan Guan shouted:
"Brother, why didn't you order the guards to capture the murderer and send someone to treatment? Could it be that you really told them that you wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of someone so that you can monopolize your property in the future?"
Hearing this, Duan Zan was very depressed and secretly scolded his younger brother for being a pig's head.
Is the second brother really a fool? I believe such a random rumor?
However, seeing him breaking his arm, it was not easy to scold him, so he had to glar at him with regret.
But he didn't dare to delay his movements anymore, so he quickly asked the two imperial guards to carry their second son to find a doctor to treat him.
If the time is really delayed, Duan Guan may be detained for the infamy of deliberately letting his brother die for the sake of fighting for family property.
By then, even if Duan Zan has eight mouths, it will not be able to explain clearly.
After Duan Guan was carried down, Duan Zan turned to Yang Fan and said in a deep voice: "I just teased a few young ladies, but the young ladies did not lose much, but the Zhongyi Hou chopped one of his arms. Don't you think it's too much?"
"I don't think so!" Yang Fan smiled.
Duan Zan was so angry that his face turned blue and he said furiously: "It's so damning! My father will definitely come to ask you for an explanation!"
For the sake of face, he could only force himself to say this, but he did not dare to take practical actions.
Duan Zan can see it!
This Yang is indeed well-known and is just a complete big stick!
Obviously, this guy is not afraid of the big deal. If he ordered the guards to capture him, it would be an inexhaustible situation.
Chapter completed!
