. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

You?!

Li Shimin was just about to be annoyed, but seeing that Li Jiancheng was also arrogant, he forcibly held back this breath, put on a smiling face, and said: "Where is the fourth brother, the mansion affairs are all taken care of by the eldest brother, and the fourth brother is also in charge of this family, if I don't take the initiative to find my father to do something, I will be compared to the brothers in the future." ”

"Second brother, what kind of errand did you find with your father this time?" Li Yuanji asked lazily.

"Oh, suppress the rebellion." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he proudly put his hands behind his back, he was young and vigorous, and there was a bit of pride in his expression.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are also smart people, knowing that the imperial court did not issue an order for Taiyuan to raise troops to suppress the rebellion, and this arrangement of their father is undoubtedly a strategy of both advance and retreat, taking the opportunity to recruit rebels and surrender and expand their strength.

Li Yuanji showed a sour expression on his face, this is a great achievement, which is equivalent to giving Li Shimin more opportunities to get acquainted with heroes from all walks of life, so he snorted and did not speak.

Li Jiancheng was also full of displeasure, and secretly complained that his father favored one over the other, how could this kind of credit be established by the eldest son, and he would be able to serve the public when he ascended to the throne of the prince in the future.

"If nothing else, then I'll go first." Li Shimin arched his hand triumphantly, intending to leave, but Li Jiancheng behind him stopped him, "Second brother, why are you in such a hurry, I still have something to say." ”

Li Shimin stopped and asked politely, "I don't know what the eldest brother commands?" ”

"I'm here to discuss matters with my father, but not for me, but for you." Li Jiancheng's words were shocking, and Li Shimin was stunned. Even Li Yuanji was stunned, it didn't seem to be the case before.

But Li Yuanji reacted immediately and said in a loud voice: "Yes." It's for the second brother. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"Hehe, second brother, you see that the fourth brother has already got married, and the fourth brother and sister are pregnant. You have been fighting all day long, and you have already set up a marriage, but you have always been married to the eldest grandson. As for me, big brother, I don't want to go. I hereby ask my father for advice and arrange your marriage as soon as possible. Li Jiancheng said and patted Li Shimin's shoulder affectionately.

Get married?

Can't help but say, for everyone. Both men and women have expectations for a happy family, and the ancients are even more so, Li Shimin heard this, and felt that the eldest brother seemed to care about him.

"Thank you, big brother. But now in the midst of chaos. It's really not a rush to do it. Or wait ......"

Li Jiancheng waved his hand to interrupt Li Shimin's words, and said with a smile: "Men can wait, but how can young women wait." I heard that the eldest grandson is dignified and virtuous, and his intelligence is outstanding, if the second brother doesn't start in time, I'm afraid that this flower will be left behind. ”

After saying that, Li Jiancheng laughed, and Li Shimin also laughed, in the eyes of outsiders. The three brothers looked like they were in harmony.

"In this way, there is Brother Lao." Li Shimin showed gratitude on his face, in addition to his yearning for marriage. Reproducing children as early as possible is also a capital to gain a firm foothold in the family. The eldest brother and the fourth brother already have their own heirs, but Li Shimin is the only commander with a bare pole, perhaps this is also the reason why he is not valued.

Bidding farewell to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin felt that he had gained a lot today, and rushed back with a happy face, Li Chunfeng, who had been waiting for him outside, greeted him and asked with a smile: "Second son, why are you so happy?" ”

"Hehe, my father promised to give me 100,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the rebellion, and when I met my eldest brother just now, he mentioned my marriage again." Li Shimin said without concealment.

Today's Li Chunfeng is no longer the childish young man he was at the beginning, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Second son, this marriage should have been proposed by Tang Gong, why did he get involved with the eldest prince again." ”

"I met my eldest brother by chance, so that's it."

"So, is the military power given by Tang Gong to the second prince in front or behind?" Li Chunfeng asked again.

"Chunfeng, what do you think is wrong with it?" Li Shimin immediately became vigilant.

Li Chunfeng nodded, and said: "The eldest prince has always been at odds with you, why is he enthusiastic again when the second prince gains military power today." According to my suspicion, he must have had other thoughts in mind, and he had to be on guard. ”

Li Shimin's face turned pale, his brows were furrowed, and after a little thought, he suddenly realized, and rubbed his hands anxiously: "Hey, it's all my fault for showing off too much, it must be the eldest brother who is jealous, so he excused me to start a family first, and then he took his place!" ”

"It should be so, otherwise how can you think about the second son?" Li Chunfeng added.

"No, I'll go to my father right now and push this family business!" Li Shimin was so angry that he turned around and was about to go back, but was stopped by Li Chunfeng.

"Second son, don't be in a hurry to listen to me." Li Chunfeng said: "The arms are always not as thick as the thighs, the eldest son is the eldest son, and he is deeply loved by the Tang Gong, if he wants to say two words to you, it is the eldest brother who scolds him." And if you contradict him for a few words, it will be disrespectful, it is better to push the boat with the water, and the plan will be calculated. ”

"Hey, it will take more than half a month to prepare for the marriage in the shortest time, and I am afraid that these 100,000 soldiers and horses will all be completed!" Li Shimin was remorseful.

"What's in the half moon, the Sui vitality is exhausted, like a dead leaf in late autumn, crumbling. There are many heroes in the world, and it is difficult to stop in a few years, let alone this half a month. Gongzi pretended to agree, with a slight grievance, and Tang Gong thought that Gongzi respected his brother and knew how to advance and retreat. Although the eldest prince is also the dragon and phoenix among the people, but Wen Taowu is under the son, and there are no cronies in the army, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Li Shimin nodded, Li Chunfeng said everything about this turmoil, there will be at least a few years of turmoil, and half a month is nothing, there are many opportunities.

Thinking that he had quietly grown into a resourceful strategist beside him, Li Shimin's haze just now was swept away, and he said with a smile: "Chunfeng, you will definitely be a great weapon in the future!" ”

"Hehe, don't dare to be a big tool! The son has starry eyes and sword eyebrows, the dragon walks and walks with tigers, has the power of the Son of Heaven, and Chunfeng is nothing more than relying on the mountain. Li Chunfeng said with a smile.

Haha, Li Shimin laughed again, but still pretended to remind: "Don't mention these words in the future." Chunfeng, don't worry, if I have power in the future, I will treat you like my own brother. ”

"Chunfeng has something to ask for right now, and I hope the second son will agree!" Li Chunfeng knelt down with a solemn face as he spoke.

"Why do you make such a great gift?" Li Shimin hurriedly helped him up and said with concern: "You and I are like brothers, if there are any difficulties, just say it." ”

"Senior sister Yuan Ziyan is still by the side of the Dog Emperor at this time, I only hope that Gongzi can send someone to secretly protect and respond, and when there is chaos, he can escape the palace with his whole body." Li Chunfeng said sincerely.

Yuan Ziyan?

At the mention of this person, a pair of bright eyes immediately appeared in his eyes, as if he was still blinking at himself, Li Shimin's whole body was numb, and he almost lost his temper. If it weren't for Yuan Ziyan's help, how could he escape from the Sui Dynasty palace safely, Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said: "Chunfeng, Ziyan is kind to me, I will definitely do my best to save her, and your senior sister is not a mortal, and she has a good skill, she will definitely turn evil into good fortune." ”

"I'm relieved to have the words of the second son." Li Chunfeng smiled and touched the back of his head, he hadn't seen his senior sister for a long time, and he was really panicking.

At this time, Yuan Ziyan was busy taking care of the correction and correction, and suddenly sneezed several times, sniffing and thinking, who is talking to me behind my back?

At this time, she was also very worried, the Sui Dynasty was about to end, and when Yang Guang was gone, Yuan Ziyan could easily escape from here. But the problem is that she is not the only one, there are several friends in the palace, such as Chu Ling'er, Yuzhu, etc., they are not important figures in history, life and death will not be recorded too much, seeing them die under the chaos of the army, or be defiled by the rebels, it is very unpleasant in my heart.

No, when the time comes, we must find a way to save them all, and we must not die in vain.

"Purple Smoke, what time is it?" Yuan Ziyan was thinking about his thoughts, and Yang Guang, who was in a coma, opened his eyes in a daze and asked.

"Big brother, it's time for Shen, get up and move your muscles, right?" Yuan Ziyan hurriedly put down the Zhu Pi in his hand and helped Yang Guang sit up.

Yang Guang's complexion was extremely poor, but he couldn't hide his illness by relying on pills, although the ministers were suspicious, they had never heard of Yang Guang's condition, and they only inquired secretly.

"What's important in the army?" Yang Guang squinted at Song Zhi and asked.

"Xiao Huaijing, the imperial historian of the supervising army, wrote a letter to impeach Pei Renji, the ambassador of Henan Province, saying that he was enveloped by the army, had ill intentions, and was afraid of Li Mi. Yuan Ziyan said truthfully.

"Bold Pei Renji, in vain I trust him so much!" Yang Guang was furious when he heard this, and smashed the dragon couch with his hand.

"Big brother, I think there may be other reasons for this." Yuan Ziyan analyzed: "After General Zhang Xutuo was killed by Li Mi, Pei Renji took over his troops, and every time he attacked Li Mi, he would kill many of his soldiers and horses. ”

Yang Guang was silent, and asked again in a half-loud voice: "Why is the Wagang Army now under the command of Li Mi?" ”

There are different theories, one says that Zhai Rang admires Li Mi very much, so he gave him all the military power and made him the leader of the Wagang Army. In addition, some people say that there was internal strife within Wagangzhai, which was caused by Zhai Rang's coercion by Li Mi. In any case, it is now Li Mi who has the sole power and is known as the Duke of Wei. ”

"Hey, I'm right, there's chaos inside Wagangzhai. But no matter who leads the Wagang Army, it is not good for the Great Sui River. Yang Guang shook his head slightly, and the topic returned to Pei Renji: "For Xiao Huaijing's recital, ignore it for the time being, depending on the situation." ”

"Big brother, this is tantamount to acquiescence, maybe one day Pei Renji will really be forced away." Yuan Ziyan reminded.

"In the past, Yang Liang rebelled, Pei Renji's persuasion was fruitless, and I took a fancy to his loyalty and promoted him to the protector. In just a few years, after Pei Renji killed and captured the invading Qiang, after following me to conquer Goryeo, he was promoted all the way to the rank of Guanglu doctor by Wu Benlang, which attracted the criticism of many ministers. Pei Renji is grateful to me because of this, how can he really rebel? Yang Guang said confidently. (To be continued......)
