yes, why? It can't be said that because he is Tang Taizong, she admires him so much.

Zixuan was silent for a while, then raised his head, "Because the name of the second son means 'helping the world and the people', the second son will definitely be able to save the people of the world from fire and water, and the second son will definitely be able to achieve great things!" ”

Shimin was very shocked when she heard her say this, she seemed to know what their father and son were doing now, and she seemed to know the grandest ambition in his heart. That was the biggest secret in his heart, and he never mentioned it to anyone, his father didn't know, his eldest brother and fourth brother didn't know, and even Wuji didn't know. Could it be that this Yang Zixuan really knows how to tell hexagrams? He may have really guessed wrong, this Yang Zixuan may not be a Turkic spy, but she is by no means an ordinary person.

Although he thought about it a lot in his heart, Shimin's face was still silent, "Miss Zixuan is so good at divination, I don't know what kind of life she is?" ”

He still didn't believe himself, Zixuan smiled bitterly: "Zixuan's life is in the hands of the second son, and the second son can let go of Tuli and leave Zixuan." If Zixuan miscalculated, the second son could ask for Zixuan's life at any time. ”

"Good. I agreed to let Tuli go, but you will stay by my side for the rest of the day and tell the fortune for me. If you can't do it, I'll take your life!" Shimin thought that no matter who sent her spy or she was just a master of the world, in short, it was best to control her in his own hands first. If she is really a master of the world, she must be used for herself, and if she cannot be used for her own use, she must not be left to be used by others in this world.

"It's a deal." Zixuan was quite confident in his knowledge of history.

Shimin released Tuli after reporting to Li Yuan, but he just said that in order to confirm the charges of Wang Wei and Gao Junya, he did not mention Zixuan, and he thought that he should observe Zixuan first, so as to alarm his father.

On the second day, that is, on May 17, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, thousands of ** soldiers roared in, in order to let the people of Jinyang know about it, the Li father and son pretended not to know at first and did not resist, making people look like they were attacked by **. The ** column of cavalry rushed in from the north gate, saw that no one resisted, feared an ambush, and rushed out from the east gate, passing through the city, as if entering no one's land. Suddenly, the people of the whole city believed that it was Wang Wei and Gao Junya who attracted the Turks, and Li Yuan took advantage of the situation to kill the two of them very understandingly, winning more people's hearts.

By the afternoon, however, there were more and more Turkic soldiers, and spies reported about tens of thousands. The Li family and his son were a little nervous, because they didn't expect that so many people from the Turks had come. Li Yuan first used an empty city plan - while ordering people to open all the gates of the inner city, he also ordered people to secretly deploy defenses in the inner city. Seeing that the Turks had arrived at the city and did not dare to enter the city, Li Yuan thought that the Turks had been tricked.

In fact, this is Tuli's plan, Tuli has been in Jinyang for a few days, and he knows that Li Yuan is just bluffing. Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to disperse the army and make it look like military discipline was not strict. Li Yuan saw that there was an opportunity, so he ordered Wang Kangda to sneak with more than 1,000 people to the north gate of the outer city to set up an ambush, preparing to attack the opponent's stragglers. But he was defeated by Tuli, and only more than 100 people fled for their lives.

That night, Li Yuan was very depressed and discussed tomorrow's battle plan with the people. Shimin thought that Na Tuli must have figured out his own reality in Jinyang for a few days, and Jian Yiyu used his suspicious plan to relieve the siege of Yanmen again, and explained the plan in detail with Li Yuan. Li Yuan thought it was a good idea. So Shimin led his troops overnight, and all the men and horses sneaked out of the city, and then entered the city from the other direction with great fanfare the next morning.

Tuli saw a large number of troops entering the city, thinking that reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty had arrived. For a few days, Tuli counted the number of reinforcements in batches, and could only blame himself for his bad luck and withdrew his troops in a huff.

As early as August and September of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was besieged by the soldiers of the Khan of Tuli's father, Shibi Khan, and Li Shimin offered a plan to General Yun Dingxing to relieve the siege of Yanmen, that is, to let the army put up more flags during the day, and beat the war drums at night, creating the illusion of a steady stream of troops, and finally scared away the Turks, which is similar to the plan of the suspicious soldiers now. Shibi, Tuli father and son were all defeated by the same strategy. Alas, alas!

When Zixuan first met Shimin, he mentioned his exploits in relieving the siege of Yanmen, just because this was the most commendable thing in the early days of Tang Taizong. It's just that she forgot that after Yang Guang relieved the siege of Yanmen, he repented of all the official titles and rewards he had promised to the soldiers, so how could he reward Li Shimin alone? Therefore, Li Shimin's Yanmen merit should be that he became the emperor, at least after his father became the emperor, no one will mention it. At that time, few people in the world knew about this matter, and if there was, it would be either the Li family themselves or the emperor's people. Therefore, at first, Shimin suspected that Zixuan was sent by Emperor Yang Guang.

Jinyang temporarily broke the siege, but Li Yuan suddenly understood one thing: if he waved his army, if the Turks took advantage of the situation to attack, he would definitely suffer from the enemy on his back, not to mention Jinyang, and the entire Taiyuan County might not be able to be saved. At this time, Liu Wenjing, who had been released from prison, came up with an idea for him - to form an alliance with the Turks.

Prior to this, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, Liang Shidu of Shuofang, and Guo Zihe of Pucheng had all been annexed to the Turks, and Li Yuan really didn't want to go through this troubled water, but he was helpless.

So Li Yuan wrote a letter to his father Shibi Khan, which probably said that the Sui State was in turmoil today, and the people were poor and poor, and if they did not provide relief, they would eventually be blamed by God. If I can send troops south with me, I hope not to infringe on the people, and the money and jade silk are all owned by the Khan; If you can't go south because of the long distance, you can only be with your relatives, and you can also enjoy rich possessions, etc., Yunyun. and ordered Liu Wenjing to take this letter and go in person, just waiting for a reply.

Since letting Tuli go, Zixuan was afraid of arousing further suspicion from Li Shimin, so he stayed in his room all day long, not daring to have any curiosity to witness history. It's just that every day I have to go to Li Shimin to inquire about my sister's whereabouts, Shimin is as anxious as she is in this matter, and sends several groups of people to look for it, but there is still no news.

More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and history has entered June of the thirteenth year of the great cause.

On this day, Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng and fourth son Li Yuanji, who set off from Hedong, met Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao, who came from Daxing, on the road and arrived in Jinyang together. Li Yuan was overjoyed and ordered the people to hold a banquet for his two sons and a son-in-law.

It was night, when the moon was in the sky, the main hall of the Li Mansion was decorated extraordinarily magnificently, and on the table in front of him, dishes were laid out one after another. Li Yuan and Mrs. Wan sat on the throne, followed by Jiancheng and his wife Zheng Guanyin, Shimin and his wife eldest grandson Wujian, and then his son-in-law Chai Shao and Yuan Ji, who had not yet married.

As soon as he sat down, Yuanji couldn't wait to say to Shimin: "Second brother, I just heard that you have a beautiful beauty, why don't you call me and let my brother open his eyes?" ”

Shimin smiled helplessly, "I want you to open your eyes, but she was lost a few days ago, and I have been looking for my brother, but I haven't found it yet." ”

Hearing what they said, Li Yuan remembered Zixuan, thinking that she was also a guest of the Li Mansion, and the Li family held such a big banquet, but let her eat alone, which seemed too unkind, so he ordered Wujian to invite her.

After a while, Wujian came in with a thin girl, only to see her small round face as tender as a ripe peach, her eyebrows are bent like a spring mountain, a pair of big eyes are as clear and translucent as a spring, looking forward to Shenfei, the essence of Wencai, which makes people forget to see the vulgar, the handsome little nose shows a quiet and gentle demeanor, the lips are as pink as cherry blossoms, and the pear vortex smiles, delicate and lovely. She was wearing a lake-colored water-patterned Luo skirt, which lined her petite figure very exquisitely, her black satin-like hair was curled into a hanging bun, and a jasper butterfly was swayed obliquely.

Yuan Ji said: "Second brother, although this woman is also a beauty, but a woman with such a posture is a big handful, and her sister is not beautiful." ”

"Motoyoshi! Hugh is rude! Li Yuan shouted.

Jiancheng was afraid that the girl would be thin-faced, so he was busy playing the round, "The fourth brother is so bad, looking at this Zixuan girl's handsome appearance and refined temperament, it is really rare." ”

"Yo, it's rare that we can see it when we build it, or I'll ask my second brother and sister with a thick face to make us a little one. It's just that the second brother and sister have always been virtuous, I wonder if I will keep this girl for the people? ”

Zixuan already knew their identities from their words, and the one who spoke just now must be the future crown princess Zheng Guanyin.

The sister-in-law laughed, Miss Zixuan is a guest, not a maid. How did I do the Lord? Innocent quietly replied with a soft nail.

Zixuan saw everyone one by one, and sat down next to Wuji. During the banquet, they mainly talked about what they had seen and heard along the way, and Zixuan didn't listen, just while eating, he observed these influential figures in history.

Let's take a look at the nearest Chai Shao, who is really a hero, with a majestic momentum between his eyebrows.

Looking at Li Yuanji again, he is indeed as ugly as recorded in the history books, no wonder his mother was reluctant to breastfeed him when he was born. It's not that his eyebrows and eyes are bad, it's just that the left and right sides are asymmetrical. The face is partial, and the left nose has collapsed again, making it look a little hideous. I think it was during childbirth, the midwife's skills were not good, and this kid made the birth canal crowded? Zi Xuan felt funny in his heart, remembering a modern joke: he was also a little angel given to his parents by God, but when he descended to earth, his face hit the ground first.

Looking at Li Jiancheng and his wife sitting opposite, Jiancheng had a pair of phoenix eyes that looked like Li Yuan, but his eyes were as soft as moonlight, and he never spoke, and a warm and elegant smile appeared on his lips first. He is not as heroic as the people, but he has a little more bookish spirit, his posture is like a jade tree, handsome and elegant like Zhilan, elegant and dusty, rich and handsome, and truly elegant. His daughter-in-law is glamorous and beautiful, but the pair of single phoenix triangular eyes and the smirk on his mouth actually reminded Zixuan of Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions". It's just that Wang Xifeng's bearing is not enough to honor the world, she is destined to lose to the eldest grandson Wuji.
