Chapter Ninety-Four: Hexagram Meets Mountain Fire

After thinking about it, Li Shimin felt that the most credible person in the palace was only Yuan Ziyan, because he could follow the emperor to the court every day, Yuan Ziyan was the first person in the palace, and no one could compare.

But since the last note incident, Li Shimin was angry that Yuan Ziyan was smart and trapped him in a more passive situation, so he has been very cold. Yuan Ziyan greeted him several times, but Li Shimin turned a blind eye and walked away.

And later, Yuan Ziyan didn't know what kind of considerations he was based on, and he simply didn't talk to Li Shimin, the two met on the road, Li Shimin cheekily took the initiative to say hello, looking forward to recovering the previously broken relationship, but Yuan Ziyan was nothing more than smiling and nodding, and then his steps were hurried, and he would not stop for Li Shimin.

As the days progressed, the harsh winter has arrived, and this year there is a lot of snow and the weather is also extremely cold. Li Shimin was alone in the palace, with no relatives or friends, and his somewhat hot mind finally sobered up.

My father hadn't handed me a note for a long time, no matter what his intentions were, but at least it was not the time. On the other hand, Yuan Ziyan's idea is even higher, and it is difficult to convince Yang Guang with the excuse of marriage, maybe in the current situation, he can only leave the palace by pretending to be sick.

Although this kind of dirty disease is a bit taboo, it seems that only this excuse will not be exposed to the outside, in addition to doing a physical surgical examination, it is also difficult to make a conclusion on the pulse, which protects Li Shimin to a certain extent, and the lie is not a goof.

Li Shimin wanted to talk to Yuan Ziyan several times about this matter, but she was usually by Yang Guang's side most of the time, and sometimes she was close at hand, and the two couldn't talk heart-to-heart.

The loneliness in the corner of Li Shimin's eyes was seen by the treacherous and cunning Xu Tingfu, his daily work is to look at people's faces, and a subtle expression can make him dissect a deeper meaning.

Although Li Shimin is quiet, he is still young after all, and he will inadvertently reveal some inner secrets. Years of life experience made this old fox think that Li Shimin and Yuan Ziyan had an adulterous affair, so he kept his eyes wide and waited to catch them.

It's a pity that Yuan Ziyan served Yang Guang during the day, and went to study in Jiazedian at night, and didn't go back to sleep until Zishi, and he didn't find a chance at all.

The reason why Yuan Ziyan did this, of course, was to protect Li Shimin, and it was best to let Yang Guang forget about this talent. If he has frequent contact with Li Shimin and reaches Yang Guang's ears, it will definitely cause trouble.

Therefore, when he has time, Yuan Ziyan uses it to study, how to behave in the world, how to govern the country, etc., book after book. If you don't understand, you can even discuss it with Yang Guang, and you can unconsciously enhance your talent.

Not only Yuan Ziyan, but there is also a woman in the palace who is also unusually quiet, and that is Queen Xiao. Yang Guang was angry and banned Queen Xiao's feet for a month, and Queen Xiao implemented it seriously, and sure enough, she didn't go out for a month, didn't cry or make trouble, and it was very calm.

However, a month later, Empress Xiao still did not go out, cleaned her clothes every day, and copied volume after volume of Buddhist scriptures. This kind of days lasted for several months, at first she also dealt with some major events in the inner palace, and then she simply gave up and handed everything over to the other concubines.

Some people say that Queen Xiao is disheartened, which is practicing herself, and some people say that Queen Xiao sees through the world and is dedicated to Buddha. Of course, more people think that Empress Xiao was reprimanded by Yang Guang last time, and she lost face, because she was angry with the emperor, waiting for him to come to the door in person and welcome her out.

After more than three months, Yang Guang's anger towards Empress Xiao had long since disappeared, and he once wanted to find a good weather and invite the queen to come out to enjoy the snow scene together.

However, the emperor is a chore, seemingly high and sitting on everything, but in fact, there are internal and external troubles, and there is no peace. The plan to go and reconcile with the queen in person has been ruined again and again, and I really can't take care of it.

The assassination of Yanmen showed that the situation of good relations between the Turks and the Great Sui was gone, and they turned their faces again. Shibi Khan successively offended the Sui realm with small armies, but fortunately, the last battle exhausted its vitality and could not form a big climate, and there were Wang Shichong, Li Yuan and others in the north, so the Turkic invasion was not enough for the time being.

What worries Yang Guang the most is that the turmoil in the country is really more terrible than that of the Turks.

"Big brother, it's time to take medicine." On this day, Yuan Ziyan brought a tonic medicine with the right temperature and put it in front of Yang Guang, the hall was a little deserted, Yang Guang took the medicine bowl and held it in his palm to keep warm, looking a little lonely.

"Big brother, are you still worried about Li Mi?" Yuan Ziyan sorted out the twists and turns for Yang Guang, and the Huaiyang side played six times in three days, all of which were about a series of whereabouts of the traitor Li Mi.

Hey, Yang Guang was silent, just sighed slightly, and then drank the decoction in one gulp, without frowning, which shows that the pain in his heart is better than the decoction.

Yuan Ziyan didn't speak, took the medicine bowl away, and then continued to tidy it up for him on the side. Yang Guang's snort suddenly invaded a faint fragrance, non-orchid and non-chrysanthemum, extremely elegant, a rare fragrance in the world, and the tiredness on his body disappeared in an instant.

Yang Guang seemed to have smelled this kind of aroma occasionally, but if there was none, when he wanted to capture it, it had disappeared, so he didn't care about it, today the weather was cold and cold, the hall was empty, and there was no one else, Yang Guang realized that this aroma was actually from Yuan Ziyan.

Yang Guang raised his head, Yuan Ziyan was meticulous in her busyness, today she wore a light red cotton dress, the cut was very decent, not bloated at all, the neckline was snow-white fur collar, and the skin was better than snow, her hair was as black as lacquer, and her lips were like Zhu.

For a while, Yang Guang was stunned, and his eyes were reluctant to take away from Yuan Ziyan. Yuan Ziyan looked at all this with her spare eyes, crying and laughing, this amorous species, never forget to appreciate beauty.

"Big brother, I heard that Li Mi's background is not small, right?" Yuan Ziyan broke the silence and diverted Yang Guang's attention.

Sure enough, when Li Mi and Yang Guang were mentioned, they were very disturbed, and they sighed again, and finally spoke: "This Li Mi's great-grandfather is Li Bi, one of the generals of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty; And his grandfather Li Yao was the Duke of Xing Guo of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father, Li Kuan, was the Shangzhu State of the Sui Dynasty and was named the Duke of Pushan County. The fourth world and the third duke, with a prominent background, looking at the entire imperial court, there are very few people who can have this honor. ”

"Since their family has been loyal to the court for generations, why did they rebel in Li Mi's generation?" Yuan Ziyan inquired curiously.

"Speaking of which, it's also my fault. Li Mi is smart and studious, good at riding and shooting, and is about the same age as Zhao'er, after I heard about it, I intended to train him and assist Zhao'er in the future. Li Mi and Zhao'er have a lot of connections, and they are like brothers at first sight, and I am deeply grateful. How could Zhao'er die early, so every time I saw Li Mi, I thought of him, and finally found an excuse to send him out of the palace. Yang Guang sighed and said: "This Li Mi is also a strong temper, and then I summoned him to the court as an official, and ordered him to take his father's title and be an attendant official, but Li Mi refused every time he said he was sick, and he hated me for sending him out of the palace at the beginning." ”

"Big brother doesn't have to blame himself so much, maybe Li Mi was bewitched by other people. You are busy with government affairs every day, and this corner of the matter may not be exhaustive, you must know that there are many repulsive forces in the palace that cannot tolerate Li Mi. Yuan Ziyan said meaningfully.

Yang Guang was noncommittal, and said: "No matter what the reason, Li Mi finally went to Liyang and chose to rely on Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, to become his adviser. Although this Yang Xuangan has some foundations, he is cowardly and good at swinging, and it is difficult to become a big tool. The two conspired to rebel, this Li Mi also has some insight, he thinks that the upper strategy should be the north according to Youzhou, if this is the case, presumably my back road will be blocked. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang still had palpitations, and said steadily: "Li Mizhong's strategy is to enter Chang'an in the west and control Tongguan. As for the next strategy, it is to attack Luoyang, which is the closest to it. This Yang Xuangan didn't dare to fight with me face to face, nor did he dare to attack Tongguan with heavy troops, but in the end he chose the next strategy, and even failed miserably. The Yang family was wiped out, and this Li Mi relied on his kung fu to escape, and he didn't want to become a scourge today. I heard that Zhai Rang of Nawa Gangzhai has some means, if he joins forces with Li Mi, I don't know what kind of bloody rain it will bring. ”

Yuan Ziyan finally understood, and asked, "Big brother, you said so much, are you still worried that Li Mi will answer the prophecy of the Li family's son of heaven?" ”

Ah, Yang Guang slapped his palm violently, and said with sincere appreciation: "Ziyan is really my confidant, and Zhuge is also a female middle school!" I regard Li Mi as my son, and I don't want him to defect to Yang Xuangan and Zhai Rang one after another, but I refuse to enter the court again, and waste the glory of this illustrious family. Ziyan, why don't you divinate for me and see what this Li Mi can do? ”

Well, Yuan Ziyan nodded in the end, because she knew that although this Li Mi was a powerful character, he couldn't play a key role yet, and she could say something casually.

Yang Guang washed his hands reverently, and then prayed to the heavens, then he breathed a sigh of relief and calmly calculated a hexagram. The hexagram soon came out, and it was a mountain fire.

Yang Guang is well-read, although he is not proficient in easy arts, but he also has some understanding of this, as soon as he saw this hexagram, his face immediately changed, and he was very ugly.

Yuan Ziyan watched carefully, frowned slightly, and felt that it was not very good, so she kept thinking.

"Ziyan, I'm afraid this hexagram is unlucky, right?" Yang Guang asked uneasily.

Yuan Ziyan still didn't speak, the mountain fire Ben, obviously, the top is the mountain, the bottom is the fire, I believe that many contemporary people can immediately associate the volcanic eruption, which is a devastating hexagram.

"The fire burns the mountains, the jade is burned, the grass and trees are all gone, this Li Mi is like a fire under the mountains and rivers, and it is bound to burn my Great Sui rivers and mountains!" Yang Guang's spirit was decadent, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.

"Big brother, don't be too pessimistic. In fact, in my opinion, this hexagram seems to be dangerous, but this mountain does not correspond to the eldest brother, but someone else. Yuan Ziyan said.

Oh? Yang Guang's eyes immediately lit up, and he urged: "Purple smoke is coming quickly!" ”
