Chapter 413 National Hatred and Family Hatred
After Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops, Li You's grandfather Yin Shishi stayed in Chang'an, no matter how hard and soft Li Yuan was, he refused to give in and resolutely resisted Li Tang outside.
Later, the Yin Shishi captured Li Yuan's fifth son, Li Zhiyun, who was later the son of Wan Guifei. Li Yuan was naturally in a hurry and wanted to exchange prisoners of war or redeem them with a large amount of money, but instead of agreeing, the Yin Shishi brutally killed the teenage Li Zhiyun, which completely angered Li Yuan.
After conquering Chang'an, Li Yuan did not hesitate to kill the Yin Shi Shi, although to a certain extent, the Yin Shi Shi can be regarded as a loyal minister. In view of the prominent status of the Yin family, later, Li Shimin still married the daughter of the Yin family as a concubine. After succeeding to the throne, Li Shimin also promoted the son of the Yin Shishi to eliminate this hatred.
After Li You was born, for the son of the concubine, in addition to Li Ke, he was the most favored by Li Shimin. But none of this can change the rebellious heart in Li You's bones, the national hatred between the Yin clan and Li Tang.
Yin Shishi swore to be loyal to the Great Sui, and his son was naturally deeply affected by it, not to mention that Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao were taken back to Chang'an, and their uneasy hearts were stirred again.
The sword in the hands of the members of the Yin clan is naturally the king of Qi, constantly instilling in him the thoughts, how cruel their father is, killing his brother and forcing his father to death has been done, what good end can a son have to do?
Concubine Yin De has a weak temperament, although she is aware of it, but after advising her brother and son many times to no avail, she can only burn incense and worship the Buddha and pray for the Buddha to bless her peace.
However. Li You was blinded by the throne, and in the end embarked on a road of rebellion, and was captured before he could attack Chang'an. At the beginning, those brothers who lived and died were gouged out of their eyes and their legs were broken, and the end was very tragic.
So Li You said that he was actually a victim of the inextricable feud between the Li family and the Yin family, and Li Shimin reluctantly killed his son, in fact, he wanted to get rid of a force that could never be loyal to him.
broke the bones and connected the tendons, recalling Li You, who had grown up in his arms. Li Shimin was still heartbroken, although Li You was demoted to a concubine, he was still buried with a national ceremony. It's just that he was not buried in Zhaoling, and he was the son who was removed by Li Shimin.
Li You's death undoubtedly had the greatest impact on the princes, and many people took advantage of various opportunities to express their determination to their father, and all kinds of parties and dinners were canceled. It's all getting beyond. Honestly.
But the East Palace fell into a restlessness, and everyone gathered together again, Du He said disdainfully: "Li You is really beyond his strength, relying on a group of rabble to repel His Majesty's ace division, it's sad and ridiculous!" ”
"Hey, it's a pity for Concubine Yin De, she is modest, because the grudge between the Li family and the Yin family is too deep. Always be careful to live, it used to be nice to me. I didn't expect to get a good death. Li Chengqian said with some regret.
Others didn't have much emotion about the death of a woman in the palace, and Hou Junji said to the point: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the East Palace is a few steps away from the Taiji Palace, which is far more advantageous than Qizhou." ”
The rest of the people also echoed and responded, Li Chengqian was silent, and Hou Junji added: "If Li You succeeds, he will inevitably kill His Majesty's princes, and it will be even more difficult for the prince to escape." And when the crown prince ascends the throne, he can crown His Majesty as the emperor and build a luxurious palace for his retirement, just like the original Emperor Gaozu, why not? ”
"But, to tell you the truth, I was stunned when I saw my father." Li Chengqian scratched his head and said, he didn't have the fearless courage of his father.
"If the prince doesn't want to face His Majesty, I can wait for you to come forward. After the Xuanwumen Mutiny in the past, it was Wei Chigong who went to persuade Emperor Gaozu. Hou Junji said.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Du He suddenly got up and bowed to Li Chengqian excitedly.
The rest of the people are very knowledgeable, and they also knelt down the mountain and shouted long live, this high glory is not something that everyone can bear, Li Chengqian thought about it, and then thought that if he ascended the throne as the emperor, he could give him a justifiable official and could also bury him next to his mausoleum.
This night, the wind is high and the moon is dark, but the East Palace is surging with dark tides, and the crisis is lurking.
Yuan Ziyan didn't notice all this, and as before, after serving Li Shimin to drink medicine and fall asleep, accompanied by Wu Mei, he slowly rushed to Menglanxuan along the quiet path.
"Aunt Yan, I don't know what kind of elixir you have taken, you look like you are twenty-nine years old, and you are not old." Wu Mei said enviously.
"Hehe, speaking of which, I have to thank my father for using precious medicinal materials to prepare pills for me." Yuan Ziyan said.
"No wonder, Yuan Tianshi is a master in the world, he must have used an immortal formula. Auntie, I'm not afraid of your jokes, every time you take a bath, I'll use it again. You smell it, I have some of your fragrance on me. ”
Haha, Yuan Ziyan couldn't help laughing, girls love beauty, and joked: "This habit is good, maybe you can get some medicine." ”
"That would be great!" Wu Meixin thought it was true and slapped her face happily.
The two were talking happily, when suddenly a black shadow flashed, Wu Mei was not on guard, she was so shocked that she let out a low cry, and subconsciously hid behind Yuan Ziyan.
"Aunt Yan, are there any assassins?"
"This person is very good at martial arts, but he seems to have come to attract us. Paula, you go back first, I'll go over and have a look. Yuan Ziyan said calmly.
"Aunt Yan, it's better to inform the guards, it's really dangerous."
"It's okay, I have my own way of getting away."
After Yuan Ziyan finished speaking, his figure flickered, and he disappeared in place. Wu Mei opened her mouth wide in surprise, she had known her for so many years, and she didn't know that her aunt actually had this ability, and her admiration for Yuan Ziyan in her heart was a few more times.
The man in black had excellent light skills, but he couldn't compare to Yuan Ziyan's coming and going, and in an instant, Yuan Ziyan blocked the man's way, and snorted: "Since you're here, let's have a good chat." ”
The man in black also stopped, covering his face to see that he couldn't see it really, vaguely feeling that this person was tall and mighty, unmoving, and quite majestic. The bright eyes of the man in black were particularly eye-catching in the darkness, Yuan Ziyan frowned slightly, suddenly opened his eyes wide, pointed at the other party, and asked in surprise: "Are you?" ”
Sou! An object was quickly thrown towards Yuan Ziyan, and Yuan Ziyan grabbed it sideways, but when he looked at the person again, he was gone.
With the help of moonlight, Yuan Ziyan spread out his palm, but found that it was a small but delicate bag. Silk embroidery can be called the top grade, even in the palace it is difficult to have such perfect craftsmanship, sighing at the same time, Yuan Ziyan opened the bag, there are two things in it.
One of them was a silver ticket, Yuan Ziyan looked at it for a long time, and was surprised to find that it was 10,000 taels of gold! Whether it's ancient or modern, this is an astronomical amount, enough to eat, drink and have fun for several lifetimes.
The other is a small note, with only two words written on it, and it is not difficult to see that Zhang Liang.
What made Yuan Ziyan the most shocking was the handwriting on the note, which was vigorous and powerful, and it was Li Mi's handwriting!
Big brother, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay? Yuan Ziyan looked blankly at the dark surroundings, letting the tears flow down. After the crossing, many people relied on and admired her, but only Li Mi has been secretly helping and supporting her in obscurity.
Every time Yuan Ziyan was in danger, there was Li Mi's desperate help, presumably this time Li Mi ventured into the palace, there must have been a big event.
As for the silver ticket, there is nothing unusual, Li Mi withdrew from the military struggle and changed to business, Yuan Ziyan knew in his heart that more than seventy percent of the business in the world was more or less related to Li Mi, which could be called a rich country.
So what does Li Mi mean by reminding Yuan Ziyan of Zhang Liang? When Yuan Ziyan was confused, Wu Mei was worried about her safety, so she chased her all the way, and when she saw that Yuan Ziyan was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aunt Yan, have you ever seen the other party's face?" ”
"There were a few guards passing by just now, maybe I was mistaken." Yuan Ziyan remained silent and continued to rush back, asking on the way: "Paulie, is there any recent twist and turn about Zhang Liang?" ”
"That's not true, but I'm also very curious, Yun Guogong used to like to write some notes to please Your Majesty, or collect some rare things to give to Your Majesty, but it has stopped a lot recently." Wu Mei said unintentionally.
Yuan Ziyan nodded, and put a bigger question mark in his heart, that is, people who are usually very active suddenly became quieter, which is not a normal thing in itself.
Yuan Ziyan secretly sent someone to investigate Zhang Liang's recent actions, especially to see who he had the most contact with, and at the same time invited Zhang Liang to Beijing, saying that he had obtained a batch of treasures and invited him to appreciate them.
Zhang Liang is a big man, he lives a very luxurious life, and he has negotiated with Hou Junji to come to Beijing to conspire with him, so he rushed to the capital immediately after receiving the letter.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Ziyan was waiting for him at the gate of the palace, Zhang Liang felt very cordial, he jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and stepped forward to salute: "Sister Ziyan, how can you be so good?" ”
"Hehe, you still know how to call me a sister!" Yuan Ziyan complained.
"I will never forget it for the rest of my life." Zhang Liang didn't forget to be poor, and asked again: "Good sister, what kind of treasure did you get?" I believe that what my sister has in her hands is a rare thing in the world, and she has long been itchy and wants to feast her eyes. ”
"This baby, it's not in the palace, and ah, I'll only let you see it alone. As for whether it is good or bad, you make your own judgment and don't tell others. Yuan Ziyan blinked, pretending to be mysterious.
Zhang Liang scratched his ears and cheeks with joy, and urged: "Good sister, then let's go and have a look." ”
"Okay, is it my carriage or yours?" In order to let Zhang Liang relax his guard, Yuan Ziyan said.
"Either way. My carriage is more comfortable, so I might as well sit in this one. Zhang Liang helped Yuan Ziyan into the carriage, and under Yuan Ziyan's command, the vehicle rushed to the suburbs. (To be continued......)
