In March 618 AD, Hu Benlang general Yuanli and others, conspired with Pei Qiantong of the Zhige, taking advantage of the resentment of the guards who missed their hometown, pushed Yu Wenshu's son Yu Wenhua and as the leader, launched a mutiny, Yang Guangwen mutinied, changed his clothes in a hurry, and fled into the West Pavilion. Captured by the rebels Pei Qiantong, Yuan Li, Ma Wenju, etc., Yang Guang wanted to commit suicide by drinking poisonous wine, but the rebels did not allow it, so he ordered Hu Xingda to hang him at the age of 50.

After that, the original Wagang rebels near Jiangdu heard that Yu Wenhua and killed Yang Guang, captured Jiangdu with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and beheaded Yu Wenhua and, Yu Wenhua and hundreds of thousands of people were besieged in Jiangdu, and all those who participated in the killing of Yang Guang were executed.

Wu Xing too shou Shen Faxing soldiers were originally to crusade against Yu Wenhua and, but the army did not arrive, Yu Wenhua and had been killed by the Li family, Shen Faxing has been 60,000 elite soldiers, and then conquered Yuhang, Biling, Danyang, according to more than ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River, claiming to be the governor of Jiangnan Province, undertaking the system of hundreds of officials.

In April, Xiao Milling was the emperor, placed hundreds of officials, and the old system of the quasi-Liang room, and said that his father Cong was the emperor of Xiaojing, Zu Yan was the king of Hejian Zhonglie, his father Xuan was the king of Wenxian, and seven heroes such as Dong Jingzhen were all kings. Conquer Nanjun (Emperor Yang changed Jingzhou to Nanjun) and moved the capital to Jiangling. Lingnan Sui generals Zhang Zhenzhou, Qinzhou Assassin Shi Ning Changzhen, Jiaozhi Taishouqiu and other Emperor Wen Yang were killed, and they all belonged to Xiao Miao. So from Jiujiang in the east, to the Three Gorges in the west, to the Hanshui in the north, and to Jiaozhi in the south, all of them are owned by Xiao Milling, with more than 400,000 soldiers.

In May, Yang Yu took the throne of Li Yuan, Li Yuan ascended the throne as emperor in Chang'an, changed the name of the country to Tang, and built Yuan Wude. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty began here.

Li Yuan was the queen of the Dou family, the eldest son Li Jiancheng was the crown prince, the second son Li Shimin was the king of Qin, the third son Li Yuanji was the king of Qi, and Yan Yuan was still the king of Changqing.

Yan Yuan's title is the most controversial, Yan Yuan is the king of Yang Guang, and has since made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

However, it has been a rule since ancient times that the daughter of the Son of Heaven is a princess, and Yan Yuan is the first person to be the king, the Sui Dynasty has died, and the Tang Dynasty was first established, should Yan Yuan be crowned king again?

What is rare is that Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and even Li Yuan all unanimously agree that Yan Yuan is the king, and Yan Yuan's merits are in front of him, and the sons are incomparable. As a father, the reward given to his daughter is not as good as others, and Li Yuan will never agree.

Moreover, Yan Yuan not only did something in the military, but also had many suggestions in the government, before Li Yuan was called the emperor, Yan Yuan proposed to abolish the county and establish the state, and use Taishou as an assassin, and handed over a set of plans for the official positions in the court, Li Yuan saw the benefits of this official system at a glance, and praised Yan Yuan with the Dou family, and it was with him that he ascended the throne, and Yan Yuan's reward was far above the two elder brothers.

However, due to the mutiny of Yu Culture and Yu Jiangdu, Yan Yuan went to Jiangdu in person, so Yan Yuan did not participate in Li Yuan's enthronement ceremony.

People have not arrived, but the ceremony must arrive, the day Li Yuan ascended the throne, when it was auspicious, the front line came to report, Yan Yuansheng captured Du Fuwei, Du Fuwei has led the army to surrender to Tang, and it will return to Chang'an in the near future.

Li Yuan was overjoyed, even if Yan Yuan did not come back, such good news was the icing on the cake for him to be called the emperor today, you must know that Du Fuwei was the governor of the host province according to most of the Jianghuai land, and he had subdued Du Fuwei, which was to get a large area of the country he occupied.

In July, Guo Zi and the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan was overjoyed, as for Yan Yuan, he buried Yang Guang in Jiangdu, and then found Yang Guang's queen, Xiao.

"I didn't expect to see me here. Yan Yuan stood in front of Xiao Shi, Yang Guang was killed, Yu Wenhua and occupied Yang Guang's six palaces, of course, including Empress Xiao, Yu Wenhua and was killed by Yan Yuan, and Xiao fell into the hands of Dou Jiande.

The Xiao family was robbed by Yan Yuan from Dou Jiande's hands, although she is nearly fifty years old, she still has charm, no wonder so many men like her. Xiao Shi was also surprised when he saw Yan Yuan, "It's you." ”

Yan Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's me." You're afraid you think it's another man who snatched you out. ”

Xiao Shi smiled coldly, "What do you think?"

"I want to ask you, why did you poison my mother many years ago, and let people do things on my clothes to take my life?" Yan Yuan sat opposite Xiao Shi and asked Xiao Shi at eye level.

"You're so smart, why can't you guess?" Xiao said with a bit of sneer, Yan Yuan snorted coldly, "It's just to give you a chance to speak, since you don't want to say it, then I won't listen." After sending Xiao off on the road. ”

didn't give Xiao a chance to take it at all, Yan Yuan stood up, and the two maids beside her immediately caught Xiao and raised their hands to give Xiao Shi medicine, Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "You dare to kill me?"

"It's all like this, do you still doubt that I dare?" Yan Yuan pointed to the maid holding the medicine in her hand, feeling strange that Xiao Shi still questioned whether she dared or not.

Is she too abnormal, or is Xiao's brain path different?

"I am the queen of the Great Sui, if you kill me, your father's country will be unstable. Xiao finally understood that Yan Yuanzhen was not just talking, she wanted to kill her, and she really wanted to take her life.

"You are in the hands of Dou Jiande, you are dead, there are no bones, who knows that it has anything to do with me?" all said that Xiao was smart, but Yan Yuan didn't know how she was smart when he came into contact with her.

Xiao Shi hurriedly said: "You, how dare you, how dare you." I have a relationship with your father, and if you kill me, he will not let you go. ”

Yan Yuan looked at Xiao Shi, "You are Yang Guang's queen, you and my father have not met after Yang Guang's death, what friendship do you have with my father?"

"Since in the past, when I was in Chang'an, you look at the jade pendant around my neck, it was your father's jade pendant. Xiao then threw out another bomb, and the maid immediately obediently took out the jade pendant around Xiao's neck, and Yan Yuan saw that there was indeed a Yuan character on it.

Qi and blood rolled, Yan Yuan gritted his teeth tightly, not letting his emotions be exposed, "So you want to kill my mother." ”

Xiao Shi bit his lip and didn't answer, Yan Yuan said again: "Fill the medicine!"

"You ......" Xiao didn't expect Yan Yuan to kill her, struggling to refuse to drink the medicine given by the maid, but she was just an ordinary woman, Yan Yuan's maid was the master who could kill people, no matter how much Xiao struggled, the poison was still poured into Xiao's mouth.

"You, you kill me, your father won't let you go, no. Xiao Shi even threatened Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan smiled, looking at the black blood overflowing from the corner of Xiao Shi's mouth, "You have tried to take my mother and my life several times, why do you think that my father will take a ruthless woman like you seriously, and he won't let me go because of you?"

Xiao Shi's eyes widened, and Yan Yuan said: "They all say that you are smart, but in my opinion, you are pitifully stupid." ”

"No, save me, save me, Tang Guo three generations, Wu Dai Li Xing, save me, I'll tell you who the surname Wu is, save me." Xiao grabbed Yan Yuan's clothes to survive, Yan Yuan waved her hand away, "Who and what does it matter, you care, I don't care." ”

The poison attacked, and Xiao's whole body trembled, "No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." I know a lot of things, a lot of things, as long as you save me, I will tell you everything I know. ”

"If you know so many things, why did Yang Guang die, and Da Sui ended up today? You know, you just know, you can't change anything, so what's the difference between you know and you don't know. ”

Yan Yuan watched Xiao die in a fit of rage, that beautiful face changed from not giving up at the beginning to despair later, Xiao Shi died without blinking eyes......

"Find a place to bury people. Yan Yuan was sure that Xiao was dead, and ordered the maid to bury people, and the maid dragged Xiao out in response, Yan Yuan took the jade pendant that belonged to Li Yuan, and his heart fell to the bottom, and he felt even more disgusted.

"Lord Wang, Luo Yi of Youzhou led the army to Shun, trapped by Dou Jiande, and the emperor ordered the prince and the king of Qin to go to relieve the difficulty of Youzhou. The maid came to tell the latest order issued by the court, and Yan Yuan said: "Get ready, let's rush to Youzhou." ”

Yan Yuan rushed to the place where the Tang army was camped, and Li Shimin had already arrived, but when he saw Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, Xu Maogong and others, Xu Maogong could see at a glance that Yan Yuan was in a bad mood, "Lord!"

Nodding, Yan Yuan and Li Shimin saluted, Li Shimin said: "Dou Jiande besieged Youzhou, my father asked us to work together to relieve the siege of Youzhou, but also hope to take the opportunity to defeat Dou Jiande's department, what does Yuan'er think?"

"Take Yanmen Pass first, after taking Yanmen Pass, Dou Jiande has no city to defend from the west, take Yanmen Pass as a breakthrough, drive straight in, and will be able to take Dou Jiande's head. Yan Yuan broke her plan, and Li Shimin said: "I also have this intention." ”

"But Yanmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qin Qiong reminded him. Yan Yuan said: "I led 300 people to attack at night, and the second brother led the troops to stay outside, and as soon as the city gate opened, he led the troops in." ”

"Three, three hundred!!" For Yan Yuan's big breath, Cheng Biting Jin almost bit his tongue.

"Yanmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses have besieged Youzhou in front, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are used in Le Shou, the soldiers and horses in Yanmen Pass are less than 10,000, if 300 people can't break his 10,000 horses, what is the use of soldiers. Yan Yuan said it lightly, and Cheng Biting Jin shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything.

"Please go with the prince. Xu Maogong and Qin Qiong said in unison, and Cheng Yanjin reacted and said, "I'll go too." ”

"The two generals are ready, General Cheng will not go, your speed will not keep up, only the help will be the opposite. Yan Yuanming shook off Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin puffed his chest and said, "I don't believe it!"

Yan Yuan glanced at him coldly, "If you don't believe it, then you can follow and take a look." ”

Cheng Yanjin was happy when he heard that he could take him. Yan Yuan and Li Shimin discussed some other details, and at night, Yan Yuan led a group of black-clothed men and women to stand together, which seemed to be integrated with the night, and at first glance, he almost ignored that it was a group of people!

Yan Yuan made a gesture, three hundred people moved in unison, moving silently, Li Shimin and the other generals looked at this scene, looking at each other, and said that seeing is believing, hearing is false, even Li Shimin also knows that his sister soldiers are training well, but this is not bad After seeing the actual situation, Li Shimin also has to admit it, it is not only good.

Three hundred men approached the high city wall silently, climbed up the wall one after another, and killed the defenders of the city one by one.

After the completion of the torch down to pass the news, the city gate opened, the army swarmed, the sound of killing, and so the people in the city reacted, Yanmen Pass has been captured by the Tang army, and quickly adjusted the soldiers and horses, quickly moved to the pass.

The Tang army was invincible, Dou Jiancheng's soldiers and horses were all in Youzhou, and the other counties were not heavily guarded, Yan Yuan and Li Shimin joined forces, one went forward to attack, and the other collected the soldiers and horses of the various families after the aftermath, and agreed with the people, "The first grain, you must be obedient when you are full of food and drink." The second soldier will be handed over immediately, and those who don't will be able to be arrested! Third, the imperial examination will be opened widely. The world is turbulent, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and there is a shortage of pragmatic officials, and young people who have the ability and ability can come to the exam, and they can become officials after the exam. ”

If it is three, wherever Yan Yuan leads the army, she does this, and her subordinate officials don't need her to speak, but when she captures a city, she will post all the notices, what should she do, she is very conscious.

Li Shimin's subordinate officials are also capable, but they were quite surprised to see that Yan Yuan's subordinate officials arranged things in an orderly manner, and praised Yan Yuan when he played Li Shimin.

"Yuan'er is not only good at marching and arranging, but also knows how to do it. You learn more from her people. "Li Shimin is broad-minded, and there is no reason why he can't learn where Yan Yuan is better than him.

Dou Jiande was defeated again and again, that is, he asked Wang Shichong for help, you must know that if he is defeated by Li Tang, there is no doubt that the next Li Tang will clean up is not Wang Shichong.

How could Wang Shichong not understand this truth, in alliance with Dou Jiande, seeing that most of Li Tang's soldiers and horses were at Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong actually sent troops to attack Luoyang, wanting to order Li Tang to withdraw his troops, but was defeated by the Tang army stationed in Luoyang.

"King Qin, King Changqing, and Luo Chenggongzi, the only son of the governor of Youzhou, came to meet the two princes. "Dou Jiande's army has been forced to Leshou by Yan Yuan and Li Shimin, and the predicament of Youzhou has been solved, Yan Yuan and Li Shimin went to Youzhou together, and they also wanted to see Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou.

"Please!" Li Shimin rode on horseback to speak, and after a while, a handsome young man rode over, heroic, fair-skinned, handsome, but unsmiling.

Yan Yuan glanced at the young man's face and was surprised, just because that face was very similar to Qiye, but I don't know if it was her illusion, she seemed to feel the breath that belonged to the ancient life?

Shaking her head, Yan Yuan put this thought aside, how could it be Gu Sheng, she may have missed Gu Sheng too much, and she actually felt the breath of Gu Sheng from this completely different person, she was really confused.

Yan Yuan smiled slightly, and looked away from the oncoming young man, but when the young man who was originally unsmiling saw Yan Yuan, he suddenly rode his horse quickly and called Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan was surprised to see that familiar face, and when he heard his call, his tongue was even more knotted.

But those eyebrows, those eyes with a generous but sad look, even after a long time, Yan Yuan will still remember that there was once such a person who looked at her like this all her life, and it never changed until she died.

"Yan Yuan, I finally found you. Luo Cheng looked at Yan Yuan and suddenly burst into tears, and a group of people were stunned, they really didn't know what kind of friendship Luo Cheng had between Yan Yuan, and he made Luo Cheng so out of shape.
