In order to get out, Ziyi had already thought that she must say that Li Yuan would be the emperor, so that Li Mi might not dare to marry her. Zixuan said that he couldn't say that Li Shimin would be the emperor, but he didn't say that he couldn't say that Li Yuan would be the emperor.

Ziyi's words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and everyone was in an uproar. Even Wei Zheng couldn't sit still, and stepped forward to ask, "How can you be sure that Li Yuan can be the emperor?" ”

Ziyi said lightly: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have a sister who can tell hexagrams, and she is very accurate." She calculated that Li Yuan would be the emperor, so we took refuge in Li Yuan early, in order to settle down in this troubled world! ”

With a "snap", Li Mi slapped the table, "It's nonsense, who allowed you to bewitch the public here?" Take her down for me. ”

Li Mi dispersed the crowd, returned to the inner room with his cronies, and said to everyone, "What the woman said will be true?" You all say that I should be on the map, but that Li Yuan is also surnamed Li, don't you want to be on him? ”

Wang Bodang has successfully become Li Mi's henchman by offering the beautiful Yang Ziyi to Li Mi, and this is the time to further pat himself on the back, so he took a step forward and said: "Don't worry, Duke Wei, this picture must be on Duke Wei." Now although the heroes are rising, but I am the only one, and even the dog emperor Yang Guang is only afraid of us, and I heard that a man named Wang Shichong was sent to guard Luoyang. And with the eloquence of Duke Wei, Zhang Xutuo is a defeated general, not to mention that Wang Shichong, Luoyang is just around the corner. Besides, Duke Wei is the leader of the alliance in the world, and sooner or later this world will be yours Duke Wei. ”

"Hmm......" Li Mi muttered, but did not speak.

Wang Bodang saw that he was still not very relieved, so he said: "Otherwise, Duke Wei can write a letter to Li Yuan to see his attitude, how about it?" ”

"Okay, just do as you say." Li Midao.

On July 8, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan's army arrived in Xihe County. Unlike the last attack on Xihe, Li Yuan entered Xihe as a victor, and the first thing he started was to seal the officials on a large scale. All the old people over the age of 70 in Xihe County were given the title of Wupin Sanguan, and as long as the young man was not mentally handicapped or disabled, and casually said what talents he had, Li Yuan would directly seal the official.

Pei Lin was palpitating when he saw it, and said to Li Yuan: "Tang Gong, is there too much official seal?" When the big thing happens, how should these officials be placed? ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Pei Lian, at the beginning of our business, food and military salaries were limited, how can we convince people's hearts?" It is now the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and the world is still the Great Sui, and I am the official of the Great Sui. When the big event is completed and the dynasty is changed, can the official of this Great Sui still count? ”

Pei Lin smiled heartily and said in his heart: You old fox, it turns out that you are generous to others. From then on, on the way to capture Daxing, Pei Liandu resolutely supported Li Yuan to buy people's hearts with indiscriminate sealing.

Zixuan drew a lot of portraits of Ziyi before setting off from Jinyang. Along the way, let Li Jin help post it everywhere, even if it is an ancient version of the missing person revelation. When he arrived at Xihe, the first thing Zixuan did was to take a stack of portraits and prepare to go out.

Shimin picked up one and looked at it, "It's quite similar." He picked up the pen and added a line to it: 100,000 gold bounty.

Zixuan looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Second Son." ”

Zixuan knew that Shimin had also been sending people around to find Ziyi, but there was still no news. With the ability of the people, I can't find it, and I don't know how useful it will be to post these portraits, but as long as there is one in ten thousand hopes, Zixuan will do his best.

Li Jin accompanied Zixuan to post a portrait in Xihe for a day, and the two broke up in front of the barracks and returned to their respective accounts. Zixuan held his tired body and walked towards Li Shimin's big tent. Suddenly, there was a pain in the stomach, and a stream of heat gushed out of the lower body. Oops! Big Aunt is here! What should I do if my pants are flushed red when they are on the top? When I went back at this time, Li Shimin was in the big tent, and it was really a shame and a shame. No, he can't see it.

Zixuan lingered beside the big tent, not daring to go in. At this time, her stomach hurt so badly that she had to squat down with her teeth bared.

"What's wrong with you?"

The voice behind him startled Zixuan, and he sat on the ground, and what caught his eye was Li Jiancheng's gentle smile. And Jiancheng happened to see the blood on her pants and immediately understood what the situation was.

Jiancheng reached out and pulled her up, "Don't want Shimin to know? ”

"Naturally, I don't want anyone to know about this kind of thing." Zixuan blushed from the base of his face to the base of his neck.

"But I already know." Jiancheng smiled, ripped off his cloak from behind him, and draped it over her, "Follow me, I'll help you." ”

Jiancheng pulled her to his big tent and whispered a few words to follow Li Zhong. After a while, the tall and thin Li Zhong took a new set of clothes to build it.

Jiancheng handed the clothes to Zixuan, "I'll go out first, no one will come in this big tent, you can change it quickly." ”

Zixuan said shyly, "Thank you, eldest prince." ”

Zixuan quickly changed his clothes and walked out of the big tent, and Jiancheng was waiting for her outside, "This is for you, sleep in your arms at night, and your stomach pain will be relieved." ”

Zixuan took the soup woman he handed over, turned around and left shyly, but there was a warmth in his heart, this Li Jiancheng was really considerate and careful. It's funny to think about it, is he a gynecologist?

Zixuan hugged Tang Pozi and quietly slipped into Shimin's big tent, and saw that Shimin had already fallen asleep, so he slept with confidence.

"Yang Zixuan, get up quickly!"

Zixuan sat up, and Shimin was standing on the edge of the couch. Oops! Overslept again.

"I'm sorry, second son. I'm going to get you some washwater. Zixuan got up in a daze, picked up the basin and was about to go out, but was pulled back by Shimin.

"No, I've already freshened up. Early this morning, we are going to set off from Xihe, and when you freshen up for me, the daylilies are cold. ”

Zixuan looked back and saw that Shimin was dressed neatly and his hair was combed. It's really the sun that comes out in the west, and the second son actually let her go today, so she doesn't have to work. It just so happened that my stomach hurt so much that I didn't like to move.

Zixuan freshened up by herself, but saw that Shimin brought her breakfast, clear porridge and side dishes, which were suitable for eating at this time. It can't be a dream, right? This is not like the style of the second son.

"Hurry up and eat, don't miss the departure time. I don't know if you're my maid or if I'm your maid. And the people put breakfast before her, and went out of the tent.

Zixuan stuck out his tongue at his back, thinking: What is the fierceness, I thought that you would be as kind as Jiancheng, but I was just afraid that I would miss the journey.

How did she know that she had a soup woman in her arms and sneakily went to the toilet several times one night, and Li Shimin's shrewdness would not know what was going on with her?

On July 14, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan's army entered Jiahu Fort. More than 50 miles south of this fort, is the Huoyi where Sui Huyalang guarded Song Laosheng's heavy troops. Song Laosheng had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Qu Tutong, the general of Zuowu, was stationed in Hedong County to echo Song Laosheng. They are the two generals sent by Yang Yu, the grandson of the emperor who is guarding Daxing, and the task is to intercept Li Yuan, and then divide and surround and eliminate them.

Li Yuan, who had always been cautious, did not rush to launch an attack, and it happened to catch up with the heavy rain from the sky, which was not conducive to the march, so he ordered the army to rest at Jiahu Fort and ordered people to go back to Taiyuan to escort a month's worth of grain and grass.

It was at this time that Li Yuan received a letter from Li Mi, in which Li Mi said: "Although my brother and I are not from the same branch, we are from the same clan as Li. I know that my strength is not enough, but I am just favored by the heroes of the four seas and promoted to be the leader of the alliance. My brother has already raised an army against Sui, and I hope to help me from the side and achieve great things together. I hope that my brother will come to Luoyang as soon as possible to learn from me, let's work together, hold Ziying (author's note: refers to Yang Yu) in Xianyang, and kill Shang Xin (author's note: refers to Yang Guang) in Muye, wouldn't it be happy? ”

Although the letter was modest, the attitude was very tough, and Li Mi clearly regarded himself as the leader of the alliance and asked Li Yuan to accept his leadership. A difficult problem is in front of Li Yuan, how to reply to Li Mi? So Li Yuan summoned Jiancheng, Shimin, Chai Shao, and Pei Lin to the meeting.

Chai Shao was indignant, "This Li Mi is too deceitful, why should you let Lord Yuezhang obey him, and what kind of teacher do you want us to go to Luoyang?" Isn't that sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger? ”

Pei Lin sighed, "But now Wagangzhai is like the sky, if we offend Li Mi and he attacks Taiyuan from Henan, then we will catch fire in the backyard." ”

Li Yuan said: "This is exactly the difficulty, Shimin, what do you think?" ”

Shimin smiled: "Let's go to Luoyang to meet the teacher?" Let Li Mi continue to dream of his alliance leader. I heard that Emperor Yang Guang sent Wang Shichong to guard Luoyang, but Wang Shichong was not easy to deal with. I think Li Mi won't be able to take Luoyang for a while, and he won't have time to attack Taiyuan. The Sui army in Luoyang and Wagangzhai contained each other, which precisely ensured the safety of Taiyuan. Guanzhong, waiting for us to drive straight in, and wait for Daxing to be taken, it is estimated that Luoyang and Wagangzhai should also lose both. ”

Li Yuan said: "My son is reasonable, but my father doesn't want to do too much. That Li Mi is not a person with a city government, but I am afraid that he will be rash, if he gives up Luoyang and attacks Taiyuan in a fit of anger, it will be troublesome. ”

Jiancheng said: "Father, my son has a plan. ”

Li Yuan said: "Speak." ”

"Li Mi is very arrogant, and his father might as well pretend to meet him, and he might as well be humble in his words and respect him as the leader of the alliance. In terms of action, according to what the second brother said, he didn't care what Luoyang would do, and directly killed Ben Daxing. In this way, Li Mi does not lose face, and we get the inside. "It's built and told the story.

After Li Yuan heard this, he laughed, "This plan is very good, according to what my son said." ”

Jiancheng really got the true biography of Li Yuan, and this trick is to fool Li Mi. There is no difference from Li Yuan's wanton sealing of officials to the people, they are just empty checks.

So Li Yuan replied to Li Mi with a letter: "When there is chaos today, we need a co-master. Who else could this person have besides Duke Wei? The old man is over half a hundred years old, and his ambition is not here, but he is very willing to support Wei Gong, climb dragon scales, attach phoenix wings, and hope that Wei Gong will respond to the plan as soon as possible and stabilize the people! You are the leader of the alliance, I hope you can include my lineage in the family tree of the royal family and still seal me in the hometown of Tao Tang, and I will be satisfied.
