Li Shimin himself is meanwhile sending his confidants to Luoyang to build up personal control of the army here.
After an incident in which Li Shimin suffers a severe case of food poisoning after feasting at Li Jiancheng's palace—an event that both Emperor Gaozu and Li Shimin apparently interpret as an assassination attempt—Emperor Gaozu considers sending Li Shimin to guard Luoyang to prevent further conflict, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, after consulting one another, believe that this would only give Li Shimin an opportunity to build up his personal power here, and therefore oppose it.
Emperor Gaozu therefore does not carry out the plan.
