Chapter Seventy-Five: True Summer (3)
"Therefore, it is the grandson's fault to hide such a big thing from the grandmother, and the grandson is willing to be punished." Because of Shi Qingyi's words. Li Shimin finally came to the old lady for a showdown, since it had been decided, then Li Shimin acted immediately, came to the old lady's residence again, and in order to express his apology, he knelt in front of the old lady's bed as soon as he entered the door.
The old lady glanced at him indifferently, then turned her head away and stopped looking at him, Li Shimin knew that the old lady was losing her temper, so she could only continue to kneel and make amends. Shi Qingyi then walked in, seeing this situation, how could he not know that the old lady had lost her temper, so he ignored Li Shimin, but walked quickly to the old lady's bed, face to face with the old lady's face, facing Shi Qingyi, the old lady's face instantly changed enthusiastically: "Qingyi is here, hey, sit down quickly, let's talk." The meaning of the words is clearly aimed at Li Shimin, how can Li Shimin not hear it, but he made a big mistake, and now he can only obediently accept his fate and let the old lady hang aside.
Shi Qingyi also smiled when he heard this: "Just based on my grandmother's orders, Jing'er doesn't dare to disobey." With Li Shimin present, Shi Qingyi still used his fake name. So the two of them really talked on the side, leaving Li Shimin completely aside, but the content of their conversation was three sentences, under the deliberate guidance of Shi Qingyi, the topic of the old lady was always guided by her to the shape of today, and the old lady's analysis of the situation was often three or two sentences to the point, so that Li Shimin, who was actually listening to the self-punishment on the side, listened with relish.
As the saying goes, it is better to have three treasures than an old one, let alone an old monster like Mrs. Dugu. So at this time, the chaotic situation in the world, in the idle conversation between the old lady and Shi Qingyi, was presented in front of Li Shimin like a cocoon.
"The best place in the world is Guanzhong ......" Regarding the topography, the old lady's opinion may not be very clever, even Shi Qingyi just arrived in Chang'an a few years ago, and a gangster Zhang Gongjin said a similar topic, but with Shi Qingyi's ability, it is only to analyze the terrain, and can not infer who has the qualifications to compete in this world, and since she was a child, the Dugu old lady who was born in a Dugu family, the powerful lady of Longyou, has read countless people, plus her rich knowledge and vicious vision, so what she sees, It is much more far-reaching than Shi Qingyi.
"Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor, but at this time its garrison force is very insufficient, so it gives the world's heroes an excellent opportunity, Sui lost its deer, and the world chases it, can seize Guanzhong first, in order to seize the opportunity, and truly have the qualification to compete in the world." However, the old lady immediately changed her words: "It's not enough to just fight Guanzhong, you have to be able to hold Guanzhong steadily, such as today's turmoil, Guanzhong thieves are rising, and there are many capable people, even if there is a strength that can get Guanzhong smoothly, it is impossible to defeat all the enemies without going through a series of difficult wars that take a long time." ”
Li Shimin secretly remembered what his grandmother said, but he didn't expect that just two years later, he had completely grown into an excellent military general, and he completely verified the prediction of his late grandmother, and fought to the death with Xue Ju's father and son, who were aggressive at that time, in the northwest and southwest of Guanzhong. In countless battles and battles, he escaped death several times, and achieved a historical puzzle that has made countless historical inventors in later generations think about it.
"Then, there is Hedong Taiyuan." Because Li Yuan was guarding this place, the old lady's tone softened a lot, and she finally asked Li Shimin's question: "Shimin, tell me, what are the advantages of this place?" ”
Hearing his grandmother's question, Li Shimin was slightly taken aback, but because he had already had an opinion on this in his chest, he was not panicked, and he sorted out the wording in his heart a little, and then opened his mouth and replied: "Taiyuan is the land of the four stops, the terrain is steep, and the strong army is stationed, if Guanzhong is the foundation, then there is no doubt that Taiyuan is the springboard that swept down from Guanzhong, and it is the place of beauty in the north. The left is based on Hebei, the right is Guanzhong, the tiger looks down on the Central Plains, condescending, and the Quartet, although the foundation is not good enough, and it is easy to be harassed by the northern Turks, but only when you get here, can you have the qualification to unify the north......"
"So you stirred up some people to persuade your father to rebel?" The old lady suddenly spoke coldly, Li Shimin immediately fell silent, it was a tacit acquiescence, the old lady sneered, and said: "Hmph, you have a good idea, once Jinyang raises troops, because of the geographical advantage, you can take Guanzhong directly without hindrance, and Guanzhong is both down, and there is Taiyuan as the fulcrum, so that it is really good to attack and retreat and defend, but unfortunately, do you know, if your father really has such ambitions as you, then how can he become the defender of Taiyuan, hum, Shimin, You're underestimating your cousin. ”
What kind of person is Yang Guang, is a person who can play the role of a loyal minister and filial son for decades, and even the shrewd Yang Jian and the Empress Wenwen have concealed the past, although he is vicious, but he is indeed a generation of emperors who are eloquent and strategic, both civil and military, even if he is already mediocre to the extreme at this time, but for Taiyuan, an important northern town, how can he not be very cautious in the choice of the guards of the important place of transportation, the reason why he chose Li Yuan is that he takes a fancy to Li Yuan's indecisive and too worried psychological character.
Also as a descendant of the Longyou military martial arts lord who was born after the split of the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, Li Yuan may not be very loyal to his royal family of the Great Sui, however, Li Yuan attaches too much importance to family affection, so he will never do anything that will put the entire family in danger, therefore, for Yang Guang, Li Yuan is the best choice to defend this place, because he is not the kind of person who can gamble on everything for his own ambitions, in the troubled times, Li Yuan may support the army to protect himself in order to protect the whole family, But the opponent of the Yang family, Li Yuan, doesn't have the guts yet. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, Yang Guang would never have thought that Li Yuan would also have a son who is very similar to the young Yang Guang, the same all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and also has great ambitions and ambitions, this young man named Li Shimin, who once bravely rushed to kill him in the Battle of Yanmen to relieve the siege, would become his gravedigger of the Great Sui River.
The old lady's words were full of anger, but Li Shimin heard other meanings from them, so he began his own temptation: "Since grandmother also knows it, then naturally she also knows, my cousin has no kindness to our family, if there is chaos today, our Li family came out to calm the troubled times, and what does it have to do with him, grandmother, the opportunity must not be lost, now that Guanzhong is weak, it is the best time for us to take it, if we hesitate, miss the opportunity and be taken by others, we will regret it." ”
The old lady's eyes burst into light for a moment, staring at Li Shimin's eyes, although Li Shimin looked respectful, but his eyes touched, and there was no trace of retreat, holding each other for a while, the old lady suddenly had no interest, spit out a breath of turbidity, and lay on the bed happily, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, your affairs, the old woman can't take care of it, if you really want to do it, then do it, but if you really want to do this big thing, your eldest brother will definitely not be able to get around, go and persuade him, More on that later. ”
The old lady then gave the eviction order, Li Shimin had to get up and leave, and Shi Qingyi stayed and stayed by the old lady's side. "Young ambition, he was taught by Mrs. Dou, and it is inevitable to act excessively." Seeing the old lady lying on the bed without saying a word, Shi Qingyi knew that the old lady was depressed, so she had to try to explain her by speaking, the old lady glanced at Shi Qingyi: "Qingyi, you are a smart child, don't be sloppy with me, what Shimin thinks about this child, don't you really see it at all?" Shi Qingyi smiled bitterly when he heard this, of course he saw it, but what was the use of seeing it, the problem was not that the old lady and himself could see it, but that Li Shimin himself was ignorant.
Maybe it's really bloodline, the men of the Li family are very infatuated, Li Yuan needless to say, he has been in love with Bixiuxin for many years, but because of the gap in identity and the reason for worshipping his eldest brother Yueshan, "love is hard to open in my heart" and many years after Bixiuxin's death, he still hates the evil king Shi Zhixuan very much, and after becoming the emperor later, he actually "besieged" the evil king accompanied by many masters, which was really fatal. Even in the face of his knotted wife, Mrs. Dou, Li Yuan couldn't do more.
Li Shimin is the same, and Yang Jier's childhood sweetheart, for this reason, he dared to rebel against his loving mother and strict grandmother for the first time in his marriage, although he was brutally suppressed in the end, but there were a lot of moths among them, which made Shi Qingyi very unhappy. By the way, it seems that there is also a concubine named Li Shimin named Yin**.
The reason why Shi Qingyi was impressed, but because this woman's father, a guy called Yin Shishi, was very loyal to the Sui family, after Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops, not only resolutely resisted in Guanzhong, but also sent someone to Hedong to dig the ancestral grave of the Li family, this is good, the endless mortal enemy, so when Li Yuan entered Chang'an, this Yin Shishi was wiped out, but his daughter left her life and entered Li Shimin's house, and as soon as Li Shimin ascended the throne, hehe, she became the imperial concubine......
With such an earth-shattering crying ghost and god who loves the enemy's daughter, Li Shimin really deserves to be a seed of infatuation. I don't know what's going on, when Shi Qingyi thinks of this "Yin Concubine", he always has a feeling of déjà vu, this feeling is definitely not the feeling that comes from facing history books, but it should be a feeling that only people who have met him will appear. Have you ever met that woman? Shi Qingyi shook his head gently, but he didn't have a trace of impression. "Maybe I had a relationship when I was in Chang'an, hehe, so many years have passed, and it's normal to forget about jì." casually found a reason for himself, and Shi Qingyi immediately threw this thought behind him.
There is also Li Zhi, the heir who Li Shimin chose after thousands of selections and finally chose blindly, will hook up with his little mother Wu Zetian in Li Shimin's serious illness in his later years, and put a green hat on Li Shimin, Li Shimin died suddenly, maybe because he bumped into the two of them while Li Shimin was seriously ill, and then died in a rage.
When Shi Qingyi thought of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the youngest son born to "himself" and Li Shimin in history, he felt sick for a while, well, don't think about it, skip it. In addition, there is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who made a fuss between father and son for the sake of the beautiful Yang Yuhuan, and finally came out with ruthless means of killing three sons in one day. In these incidents, if it is all because of the beauty that the Li Tang royal family competes for, it is better to say that this family is all seeds of infatuation, and they only love beauties and do not love the country. Partially. The Tang Empire established by this family is another of the most glorious pages of Chinese civilization after the Han Dynasty, and it is really puzzling when you think about it.
Shi Qingyi looked in deep thought, and the old lady herself could see it clearly, so when Shi Qingyi recovered from thinking, the old lady looked at her and asked her what she was thinking just now, "I'm thinking, the man of the Li family is infatuated!" Shi Qingyi laughed, his bright eyes were full of smiles: "In this regard, Shimin and Li Shibo are really very similar, Shimin has always been in love with Princess Yang Jier, and Shibo is the same, obviously Niang has been dead for so many years, but she still can't forget it." ”
The old lady's voice was low: "It's true, generation after generation, but they are all like this. When he raised his eyes, he saw a trace of cunning in Shi Qingyi's eyes: "Then can the old lady satisfy Tsing Yi's curiosity, who is the general of Zhuguo (Li Hu) and the husband of his wife (Li Hu)?" "Hehehehehe!" After a long silence, the old lady suddenly laughed, and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes: "You girl, you actually started to play tricks on me, an old woman." After a long time, the old lady stopped laughing, but the expression on her face quickly became lonely: "Indeed, he has a favorite object, but unfortunately he can never marry her as his wife, and our marriage back then was just a combination of interests, he didn't love me, and I didn't love him!" ”
The old lady looked at Shi Qingyi with meaningful eyes, "But I won't tell you the name of that person, even if it's a little secret in my heart!" Hehe, I'm going to take them all into the coffin! ”……
