87_87741 The secret letter was quickly sent to Chang'an, and coincidentally, it happened to meet the crown prince Li Jiancheng on the way.

Li Jiancheng casually said that he could inform his father of the battle ahead, which was actually a good intention, but the messenger was more realistic, and he covered the secret letter tightly, and the king of Qin said that the prince couldn't show it to him!

Li Jiancheng was furious, and Li Yuanji was even more dissatisfied: "Big brother, this second brother is getting more and more disagreeable, he has robbed him of any credit, and even if your prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be set aside!" ”

"I'm annoyed, stop talking!"

"Big brother, I'm telling the truth, you really should think about yourself!"

……

Li Jiancheng was in turmoil, but he had no henchmen under him, and at this time, it was a chaotic war, so these things could not be considered for the time being. But there are some people who are thinking about their future, and that is Dugu Huaien.

In fact, Dugu Huaien's brain is really insufficient, and he thinks that if someone knows his secret, he should act as soon as possible, otherwise he will fall into an extremely passive state.

If you can think about it the other way around, Dugu Huaien bites to death is Tang Jian's nonsense, and he is framed in blood, and he may be able to save a glimmer of life. Born in a wealthy family, Dugu Huaien grew up with Li Yuan and others, and he was not satisfied with just living, but wanted a better life, and it was best to be the emperor like Li Yuan.

So, Dugu Huaien secretly plotted with several henchmen such as his subordinates, and everyone agreed that the middle people in the court were not terrible, and with the relationship between Dugu Huaien and Li Yuan, it was no problem to get close to him, but I was afraid that Li Shimin would suddenly come back and find out that it would not be good.

Therefore, Dugu Huaien secretly sent a letter to Liu Wuzhou, hoping that they would rob Yongfeng Cang and cut off Li Shimin's grain channel. Let him take care of himself. The idea was good, but it was too late to act, Li Yuan had already learned about Dugu Huaien's entire conspiracy plan from his son, and easily subdued him, and the rest of the people were scattered, running and dying. It's just half a day's work. Dugu Huaien was imprisoned.

The crime of rebellion, of course, must be executed, but the nine clans can no longer be punished. In that case, Li Yuan himself would have to be killed, wouldn't it become a farce for me to kill me?

The word "all mouths", nevertheless. Li Yuan still planned to go to see this cousin in prison, hoping that he would show remorse. I can also consider sparing his life.

Dugu Huaien, who was around forty years old, had gray hair all night in prison, and when he heard movement, he knew that it was Li Yuan who came to see him. He didn't even lift his head.

The guards scolded him for saluting when he saw the emperor, but Dugu Huaien sneered: "I was not punished for peeing on his neck at the beginning, why are the brothers also unfamiliar today?" ”

Li Yuan motioned for everyone to retreat. sat in Dugu Huaien, who was shackled and shackled, and he still had his childhood appearance in his mind. Why did you change your heart in a blink of an eye?

"Wynne, are you guilty?" Li Yuan was the first to ask.

"The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, I am just unlucky, what is the sin?" Dugu Huaien squinted at Li Yuan, his eyes full of disdain and anger.

"I think that at the beginning, Li Tang made the initial decision that I worshiped you as the Chang'an Order, and entrusted the capital and my family's life, and even Li Tang's safety to you, which shows that I trust you. Later, he promoted you to the secretary of the Ministry of Works, a very popular minister, rich and boundless, why do you not know how to be satisfied, and still kill me? Li Yuan said angrily.

"Kill you to save your life. Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been ruthless, if I don't kill you, sooner or later, I will die at your hands! Dugu Huaien said with a glare.

"I wanted to reuse you several times, but you were unfavorable in battle, this time I abandoned Li Xiaoji and escaped privately, I also turned a blind eye and tried to save your life, why do you still say that I want to kill you? Wynne ......"

"Shut up!" Dugu Huaien stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Yuan and said sarcastically: "The reason why you gave me food is nothing more than to let me be a lackey of the Tang Dynasty and take care of your home and care for you." What are the benefits of the Chang'an Order? You don't feel at ease when you hand it over to others, only I can work for you! What do you say about the Ministry of Works, why don't you let your son Li Shimin do it, I will lead the army to recruit Liu Wuzhou? Li Yuan, you only have the Li family clan in your eyes, but you neglect the Dugu clan! Aren't you a descendant of the Dugu clan? ”

"I naturally respect my mother and a few aunts."

"Hehe, hahaha, the dignified Dugu clan is bad in the hands of these women. Good feng shui is all taken up by women, but let the lonely man send people under the fence! ”

"Dugu Huai'en, don't you forget my mother's love for you, where is your conscience when you say this?" Li Yuan also stood up in displeasure and glared at the other party's eyes.

"Your mother? My poor aunt? The women of my Dugu family just gave birth to children for Li Tang of the Sui Dynasty, and they have no regrets in their lives. Do you know the origin of my name, it was my aunt who obtained it for me, so that I am grateful? Hahaha, what an ignorant woman, she didn't become a queen until she died, she worked hard for her man and son, and my nephew is nothing more than what she uses to train and support you in the future. My aunt would tell me to listen to you every day, and I was disgusted at the sight of her face, but I had to endure it in order to live in a more prosperous family......"

Smack, smack! The two slaps were mercilessly slapped on Dugu Huaien's face, if the mother heard her nephew's words, she would definitely break her liver and intestines.

Li Yuan, go die! Dugu Huai'en opened his blood-red eyes, stretched out his hands and grabbed Li Yuan's neck, Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, the dagger in his hand quietly attacked, without any sound, Dugu Huaien looked down and saw that he was stabbed in the chest.

Dugu Huaien took a few steps back, blood spurted from his mouth, and he vaguely accused: "You, you are so ruthless!" ”

"You forced me! Dugu Huaien, I wanted to spare your life, but you are greedy, blaspheme your aunt, and assassinate the emperor, you deserve death! This knife is not enough to kill, but it will spare your life for half an hour, so repent! Li Yuan threw his sleeves out, and Dugu Huaien shouted in despair from behind: "Your Majesty, Huaien knows his mistakes, I don't want to die, it's just a matter of being angry, don't take it seriously!" ”

"Half an hour later, hanging!" Li Yuan commanded the jailer fiercely.

didn't wait for half an hour at all, for the jailer, one less thing was a thing, and soon after Li Yuan left, he took Bai Aya over.

When he was dying, he knew that life was precious, and Dugu Huaien crawled out helplessly, but his neck was quickly covered with white silk, and he was suddenly pulled up and fell to death in prison.

While Li Yuan lamented the betrayal of his relatives, he also sincerely thanked his son Li Shimin, if it weren't for his timely correspondence, he might have been framed by Dugu Huaien and died.

It wasn't until Dugu Huaien was executed that Li Yuan announced the matter, and the ministers were in an uproar, not knowing that there were such dark waves under the calm waves.

Li Jiancheng immediately said that Dugu Huaien died well, and it was too cheap to hang him, so Ling Chi should be executed. Li Yuan was silent about his son's statement, but he is also your cousin, and he has had a good time getting along day and night, but he doesn't miss the old feelings at all.

"It's been a close time, it's time to fight Liu Wuzhou, right?" The idle and bored Cheng bit the gold and grinded and chirped, "If you don't send troops, my old Cheng's axe will be rusty." ”

"Hehe, when the spring flowers bloom next year, you can kill the enemy happily, and you will soon be sharpened." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

What the? Cheng Yanjin asked unhappily: "It seems that there is no battle to fight during this time?" It's just eating and drinking, it's boring! ”

"I believe that Liu Wuzhou is more anxious than you now. Come, Brother Cheng, sit down first. Yuan Ziyan pulled him to sit down, poured a cup of tea with his own hands, and continued to persuade: "Let me ask you, who is Liu Wuzhou relying on now when he occupies Taiyuan?" ”

"Of course it's Song Jingang."

"If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Yuan Ziyan generously took out a silver ingot from his arms, which was exactly what Cheng lost last time.

"Oh, the military advisor will say it if he has something to say, I'm not a child, do I still need to be coaxed?" Cheng Biting Jin looked disdainful, but he still put the silver in his pocket in the blink of an eye, hehe, no one has a grudge against the silver!

"Song Jingang marched all the way, and the battle was quick and decisive, how could there be food reserves, all the way by looting. We are also collecting grain, and the people trust us even more, either sell it to us or hide it, think about it, Song Jingang has been holding on for so long, how can there be any surplus grain? Yuan Ziyan asked.

"That's the reason, but after the harsh winter comes spring ploughing, it's hard to say that they can't find a way to supply."

"Hehe, how can I let them survive until that time?" Li Shimin also walked in, patted Cheng Yanjin's shoulder and said, "Don't wait for the snow to melt, you must drive Liu Wuzhou out of Taiyuan!" ”

Cheng Yanjin finally smiled, seeing that the two of them were really like a little couple singing and harmonizing, but the jokes still didn't come out. The two quarreled for three days and made a big quarrel for five days, and it's really hard to say where they will go in the future.

During this period, Li Shimin sent troops to constantly harass Liu Wuzhou's vital places, Liu Wuzhou was frightened, and immediately sent troops to intercept him, but before he arrived, the Tang army had already withdrawn. However, after Liu Wuzhou withdrew again, the Tang army came again.

In more than one place, sometimes Liu Wu received three harassing messages at the same time in a day, and the troops at hand were insufficient, so he simply reinforced one or two of them, but the Tang army seemed to have figured out his thoughts, and the important forces were concentrated in the cities he neglected to defend.

Seeing that the guards were weak, the Tang army came up with a fierce attack, and after Liu Wuzhou learned of the plan, he hurriedly reinforced, not wanting the Tang army to have no intention of defending the city, and swept away all the materials that could be taken away in the city and disappeared.

Liu Wuzhou was so angry that he was thunderous, but he was helpless. Because the grain and grass have been in an emergency, in order to save until the next year, it will be reduced to one meal a day from now on.

The soldiers were not well fed, the horses were not fed well, there were many complaints, and the morale of the army was still sluggish. Liu Wuzhou inevitably mobilized one by one, and then insisted on persevering, and when Li Shimin was driven away and everyone had enough, it would definitely be bitter first and then sweet!
