"Yes!" The eldest grandson Wujian kowtowed several more times before raising his teary-eyed little face, knowing that he could not find a proper excuse to coax Li Yuan at this time, so he didn't tell the truth, so he said: "Father, after I married the people, I was very affectionate. It's not that the daughter-in-law is jealous and doesn't let him marry a concubine, but the people are really busy and flawless, so so there is only one daughter-in-law so far. ”
Li Yuan nodded, seemed to understand, and asked, "Are you on guard against that Yuan Ziyan?" ”
"Father is wise." The eldest grandson Wujian said with tears: "Yuan Ziyan is talented in civil and military affairs, full of wisdom, if he can really stay by the side of the people, it would be fine, but his mood is lofty, his ambition is not in the court, and he is separated from the people of the world, which is really incomprehensible." ”
"This Yuan Ziyan's methods are really clever, don't say it's you, even I can't help her sometimes!" Li Yuan frowned and said.
"Shimin is not a person who is greedy for women, but this Yuan Ziyan is really outstanding, let alone a man, even a woman can't help but take a second look." The eldest grandson Wujian praised generously first, and then said: "If the people of the world want to change her to the main room, the daughter-in-law will never complain!" ”
"She dares!" Li Yuan was furious: "You are the daughter-in-law of the Li family's Ming Media who is marrying in, how can you let her have the final say, rest assured, with me, this matter will never come to pass." Unsullied, I know all your thoughts, but I'm too worried, the people of the world are not without opinions, and they won't be led by a woman. ”
"Father, I can tell the people about my brother, but there is one thing I don't know whether to talk about or not." The eldest grandson Wujian looked very hesitant.
"Just say it!"
"After Shimin came back this time, he originally wanted to recuperate for a while. But I heard from the palace people that Yuan Ziyan talked to the people of the world in private and said yes. said that someone had set an ambush for Xing Guogong, and the people of the world were worried, so they wanted to rescue one or two. The eldest grandson was ruthless and said this.
Li Yuan was furious, his eyes almost popped out, and the eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly said: "I am just hearsay about this matter, and there is no real evidence. The child feared that the people of the world would be under his influence in the future. Only then did I think of letting my brother follow him and remind him appropriately. Children also have selfish intentions, though they cannot be common to the people. At least you can know how he's doing. ”
There is nothing wrong with what the eldest grandson Wuji said, this is a reasonable reaction as a normal virtuous wife, Li Yuan nodded, and agreed to wait for the eldest grandson Wuji to be assigned to Li Shimin. The eldest grandson was grateful to Dade and retreated. But there is a faint sadness in my heart. sighed, Yuan Ziyan, don't blame me for being like this, I hope you follow Li Mi and never come back.
Li Yuan also fell into thinking, the eldest grandson Wujian is an honest and good boy, and he will not lie about such a big matter. As she said, if it weren't for the scruples in her heart. As for the work arrangements of family members, just tell Li Shimin directly, there is no need to come to yourself for this matter.
So. This may have two results, the first is that someone really wants to frame Li Mi. Looking at the court, if you can have this courage, that is, the crown prince is built, and only he can have the right to mobilize troops and horses. Second, Yuan Ziyan made something out of nothing and deliberately provoked the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.
However, no matter what the situation is, Yuan Ziyan should not plot with Li Shimin privately, this person is really hateful. Li Yuan immediately ordered someone to call Li Jiancheng and made some inquiries about this matter.
Li Jiancheng has long been prepared to deal with it, there are more than a dozen sets of plans alone, and if there are changes during the period, what should be done, Li Jiancheng has long been familiar with it.
Therefore, as soon as this incident was mentioned, Li Jiancheng shouted that he was wronged, saying that he was indeed wary of Li Mi, but he did not dare to do such a big thing without authorization. If you really have this kind of thought, even if you communicate with your father in advance, it is good, it does not mean that you will not be answered
And what he did was just to let the defenders along the way pay more attention, how could there be an ambush, and ask my father to know it!
His own children are always closer than other people's children, Li Yuan finally believed Li Jiancheng's statement, and complained that he could not act without permission in the future, he was not dead yet! Li Jiancheng hurriedly apologized and promised not to make an example.
At this point, not only Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan's hatred of Yuan Ziyan has increased a few times, a female streamer, nothing more than relying on some posture to get some favor from Yang Guang, you must know that the men in the world are not all as absurd and unscrupulous as Yang Guang!
To say that Li Yuan was just thinking about getting Yuan Ziyan out before, at this time, he even moved the idea of killing Yuan Ziyan and never had any troubles.
At this time, Yuan Ziyan was on the way to the emergency road, suddenly shuddered, couldn't help hugging his arms, Li Shimin immediately stopped his horse and beckoned the army to camp in place to rest.
"Ziyan, what, my face is very bad." Li Shimin said with concern.
"I don't know, but I just felt a little chilly, maybe it's the coldest season of the year, right?" Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said.
"Maybe it's because you're too worried about Li Mi." Li Shimin said with great meaning.
Yuan Ziyan glanced at him and was noncommittal. But in her heart, she has a positive attitude, she is really concerned about Li Mi, although Li Mi has never said a word of affection to herself, but he will always protect himself in a critical moment, and even use his body to be safe.
"Shimin, we've been chasing for almost two days, why haven't we seen Li Mi's figure yet, and we haven't even found any news about him along the way." Yuan Ziyan said with some unease.
"Maybe Li Mi really defected, but I don't know."
"Nonsense!" Yuan Ziyan's eyes widened angrily, and he defended: "He once told me personally that he would not betray Li Tang, so how could he go back on his word!" ”
"Okay, Purple Smoke." Li Shimin pinched his eyebrows lightly, not wanting to quarrel with her every time he had an impulse, and said: "I have learned that Xing Guogong is about to arrive in Xiongzhou at this time, and he must want to go to Liyang to appease Xu Maogong first." ”
Xu Maogong? Not mentioning this person, Yuan Ziyan almost forgot about him, nodded and said: "Xu Maogong is a talented person, and he is loyal to Li Mi. Shimin, after Xu Mao's referendum is accepted, he can't let others snatch it away. ”
"How can I have the final say, it's not up to my father to decide, and the prince will distribute it." Li Shimin frowned slightly, and there was a tone of dissatisfaction.
Without further ado, after resting and rectifying, the two continued to rush to Xiongzhou, but the closer they got to each other, the more worrying they became by hearing the news. Li Mi did pass through this place, but the process was not too smooth, but was subjected to a very strict investigation, Li Mi was furious, and personally killed several Tang soldiers.
In addition, Sheng Yanshi, the deputy general who guarded Xiongzhou, once followed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and was his sworn friend, but was not in the mansion at this time, but disappeared with nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Yuan Ziyan's heart immediately pinched: "Shimin, this Sheng Yanshi probably received a secret letter from Li Jiancheng and went to ambush Li Mi." ”
"Sure enough, it's a bold one!" Li Shimin said annoyedly.
"But the world is so big, where will this Sheng Yanshi set up an ambush?" Yuan Ziyan asked anxiously, it's a pity that there is no reconnaissance plane at this time, how can he find Li Mi's whereabouts with limited physical strength.
"This place is mostly plains, if it is fortified by Sheng Yanshi, it should be here." Li Shimin flipped through the map of the army, and the location was Xinggongxian in the south of Luhun County.
"Shimin, maybe Li Mi didn't go to Liyang first, but Xiangcheng." Yuan Ziyan suddenly thought of one person, that was Li Mi's old department, Zhang Shanxiang.
"Zhang Shanxiang is a straightforward person, but he is very sincere and has a good relationship with Li Mi. If I'm not mistaken, Li Mi should have thought about going to Bear's Ears Mountain, going to him first, and then gathering the troops there, and then contacting Xu Maogong and the others. ”
Li Shimin was stunned, Li Mi's move did have something suspicious, Zhang Shanxiang had soldiers in his hands, Li Mi went to him first, it was really difficult to explain.
"Shimin, I know what you think in your heart, even if Li Mi has an antipathy, as long as we stop it in time, won't we be able to save everything?" Yuan Ziyan hurriedly urged.
So I hurried overnight, at this time it was close to the end of the year, and the people began to get busy, and the rare ones began to stew meat on a small fire, the aroma was overflowing, and life was peaceful, and I didn't know that a fight was going on not far away.
That's right, it's the fight. Sheng Yanshi received a secret order from the prince, asking him to pay close attention to Li Mi's movements, set up an ambush at a critical moment, and wiped him out, so as to win. After the matter is completed, it is only necessary to say that Li Mi has an antipathy. Li Jiancheng also assured Sheng Yanshi that as long as he killed Li Mi, rewards such as money and beauties would be necessary, and he would also be knighted and honored!
For Sheng Yanshi, the crown prince is equivalent to the future son of heaven, the soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and Li Miben is a subordinate, and his motives are unpredictable. Therefore, when he learned that Li Mi intended to contact the old department Zhang Shanxiang first, he did not hesitate to reorganize his troops and horses, quietly set up an ambush around the shortcut, and prepared countless bows and arrows and boulders.
Li Mi didn't know about this, and thought that if Zhang Shanxiang's troops could be mobilized and ordered to return to Chang'an first, then he would be able to gain Li Yuan's trust and recognition, and the work of appeasing the other brothers would become extremely smooth.
However, disaster fell from the sky, and when Li Mi passed by a barren mountain in Xinggongxian, he felt extremely lonely, and the surroundings were silent, and he didn't know if it was because of winter, and he couldn't see a living thing.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a dense rain of arrows shot at him. Li Mi immediately organized a rebellion, but he didn't expect a person dressed as a Tang general to shout from a high place: "Li Mi, traitor!" Hurry up and offer the dog's head! ”
Li Mi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Sheng Yanshi, and his face couldn't help but sink: "I was ordered by the Holy Lord to go to appease the old department, why are you ambushing here, delusional about killing each other?" ”
Hmph, Master Sheng Yan sneered: "How could I kill my own brother!" Brothers, Li Mi has already reversed, you must return to the team as soon as possible, otherwise you will be dealt with as a traitor, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! (To be continued......)
