Yuming only then understood why Fang Xuanling would take refuge in Li Tang early in the late Sui Dynasty, it turned out that he had participated in the construction of Jinyang Palace, and it must have been at this time that he formed a friendship with Li Shimin.

It's just that with his arrival, history has changed a little. Let me meet Fang Xuanling on the way to the original.

"Lord Fang, look up for a long time! Long admiration! Yu Ming bowed his hand.

Fang Xuanling also hurriedly returned the salute: "Adults, don't call your subordinates like that, if you don't dislike it, just call me by my name Xuanling." ”

Yu Ming smiled slightly, and then said sincerely: "Mr. Fang is resourceful, Yu Ming has admired him for a long time, and this time I went to Yuan, but I want Mr. Fang to advise on accompanying matters!" ”

Fang Xuanling is a keen observer, with his vision, it can naturally be seen that Yuming really attaches importance to him, rather than lying to him, and his eyes are also very sincere, which makes him a little touched.

He hurriedly said: "In the lower cousin, Fang Xuanzao is participating in the construction of Jinyang Palace. I'm afraid you'll have to ask your brother about the construction at that time......"

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Fang Xuanling Fang said respectfully: "Those who can serve as ministers and supervise the construction of the palace are all trusted celebrities by the saints, and in the future, the lower officials will have to give more guidance!" ”

After Yu Ming heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile. Regarding this matter, he didn't think Yang Guang trusted him much. He thinks it's more about a balance of power. Li Yuan is Yang Guang's cousin, and he gives people the impression of being timid and cautious. Yang Guang has always believed that Li Yuan is not capable enough, but he is honest and reliable, and he has a family relationship, so he has always trusted him. It is impossible for Yang Guang to trust himself more than Li Yuan. At present, he asked himself to supervise Li Yuan, probably because he wanted to put some pressure on Li Yuan and let him let go of his hands and feet to ensure that the project was completed on time. Otherwise, there would not be a sentence in the holy decree, so that he and Li Yuan could act cheaply.

"I'm afraid that the original old surname will suffer again in order to repair this Jinyang Palace!" Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart. However, he didn't have time to think about how to love the people now, he had to think about how to deal with Li Yuan first.

"That's it! I won't bother with this seat, General Yu should be ready! Tomorrow we will go our separate ways! Yue Zeng said with a regretful expression, that made people who didn't know him think that he and Yuming had a deep relationship.

Yu Ming also bowed to Yue Zeng Province with a bitter face, and then said goodbye to Luo Cheng.

He was also a little dazed at this time, because he didn't know anything about how to build the palace, and he didn't know how many people and how many materials he needed. Although the person who was mainly responsible for the construction was Li Yuan, with Li Yuan's ability, he was able to advance so slowly. It can be seen that either Yang Guang gave the construction period is tight, or Li Yuan encountered some problems in the construction. But either way, it's not a good thing for him.

"Forget it, only one step at a time is one step. Let's wait until we get to the original point! Yu Ming thought secretly in his heart.

……

Yuan, is the largest city in Hedong region, and is also the only place from Guanzhong to Hebei, Liaodong, Central Plains to Turkic steppe. Therefore, there are many merchants in this area, the economy is very prosperous, and the Jin merchants are also well-known in the world. Otherwise, Li Yuan would not have hollowed out his mind to stay behind.

When Yu Ming and his party walked to the city gate, they saw that Li Yuan and his party had already greeted them.

In the past, Yuming had also seen Li Yuan when he was on an expedition to Liaodong, when he was wearing a suit of armor, but now he has changed into a purple official robe, wearing a black lacquered sarong hat, a leather belt tied around his waist, a purple gold fish bag hanging on the leather belt, and a pair of black leather boots on his feet, completely dressed as an official.

When Li Yuan saw Yu Ming coming at this time, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and bowed, and then said with a smile: "A few days ago, Xia Guan was notified by the imperial court, saying that General Yu was about to come to supervise the construction of Jinyang Palace. After hearing this, the lower officials breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that General Yu was young and promising, and he would definitely be able to guide the lower officials to solve the problems in the construction! ”

When Yu Ming heard this, he secretly shouted that it was not good, looking at Li Yuan's appearance, it was obvious that the construction was not going well. And he doesn't know anything about building a palace, so how can he tell him anything?

Immediately after, Li Yuan introduced Yu Ming to several people standing behind him.

The first person was about ten years old, wearing a green cloth shirt, looking at the costume, this person was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his lips were thin and his eyes were thin, and his face was gloomy and white, and he looked a little scared.

The second person was older, about forty years old, he was wearing a red brocade robe, with a round face and fat cheeks, and he looked a little pot-bellied. It looks like a famous official.

According to Li Yuan, these two people are named Pei Lin and Liu Jing respectively, and they are currently his staff, and they are more proficient in construction and are working hard to build them.

The other four are all teenagers, and two of them Yu Ming knew each other before. That is the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, who met at the poetry meeting in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

A few years have passed, and the eyes of the two brothers are sharper than before, and Yu Ming can feel that the martial arts of the two of them are also quite good, but I am afraid that they are not much worse than themselves.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are obviously very wary of Yuming, and they have no appreciation at all. However, Yu Ming also understands that he has climbed fast this year, and the height is unbearable, and there are not a few people who are jealous of him, and there are a lot of younger brothers in Yu Valve who speak ill of him everywhere, not to mention other families.

Second, his current status is that of the Minister of the Qincha, and he is nominally here to supervise the construction of Jinyang Palace by their father Li Yuan. In this way, it is strange that others do not resist themselves.

After exchanging a few words with the Li brothers, he set his eyes on the two teenagers he had never seen.

Standing beside Li Shimin was a burly young man, he wore a round-necked soap coat, was about seventeen or eighteen years old, had a short beard under his chin, the roots were as thick as steel needles, and he was born with thick eyebrows and a wide mouth, quite heroic. He looked at Yu Ming with a very warm expression, which made Yu Ming feel a faint murderous aura and war intent.

"Master Yu, this is my brother Li Xuanba, he is infinitely powerful and good at wielding a sledgehammer." Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly introduced.

"Li Xuanba?" Yu Ming's heart couldn't help but beat a few times, and he was very impressed by the first hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes. But I didn't expect this person to stand in front of him, and he didn't seem to be friendly.

At this time, Li Xuanba said in a buzzing voice: "General Yu, I Li Xuanba have heard of your wisdom and courage for a long time, and I will ask you for a few tricks when I have time!" ”

"Presumptuous, General Yu has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to accompany you, this little super? Get out of the way! Before Yu Ming could answer, Li Yuan took the lead in glaring at Li Xuanba fiercely, and scolded in his mouth.

Li Xuanba is not afraid of the earth, but he is afraid of his father and brother, and when he saw Li Yuan so loud, he also reluctantly pouted and retreated.

At this moment, the last young man took a step forward and made a big bow to Yu Ming: "General Yu is polite!" ”

Although he was polite, his expression and demeanor were full of disdain, and he was obviously a person who thought highly of himself.

At this time, Li Yuanfang introduced: "General Yu, this is the fourth Li Yuanji of the lower official, the lower official is usually negligent in discipline, but it makes the general laugh!" ”

"Where, where! Brother Jiancheng and Brother Shimin both met me five years ago, and they are quite close to each other. The Xuanba brothers are straightforward and cute, and the Yuanji brothers are open-minded. It's too late to like it, how can you see laughter? Yu Ming also talked about duplicity officialdom.

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes at the four brothers of the Li family, only to see that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked calm and unmoved. And Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji are obviously much less hostile to him. It can be seen that these two people are indeed not scheming, and they will be moved by his words.

"General Yu came from Liaodong for a long journey, presumably the journey is hard, please go into the city with the subordinate to rest! Li set up a reception banquet for the general! Li Yuan smiled, and then made a gesture of please.

Yu Ming nodded, and then followed Li Yuan into the city......

This night, Yu Ming was drunk under the toast of the former officials and the merchant gentry, and he couldn't remember how he returned to his residence.

After sending him away, Li Yuanfang restrained his smile and whispered to the four children and the two staff: "Follow me to the study!" ”

Everyone understood and followed Li Yuan to the study, and the maid brought them chairs and teacups.

After sitting down in turn, Li Yuanfang cleared his throat and said, "What do you think of Yu Minglai?" Do you think he's really just here to oversee the work? ”

Li Yuanji immediately snorted coldly: "How can this Yuming be virtuous? Actually came to supervise his father? If you want me to say, let's ignore him at all, just do what we have to do! ”

Li Jiancheng was a little worried: "Could it be that the saint heard something?" So send Yuming to check it out? ”

After everyone heard this, their faces changed suddenly, because Li Yuan's father had been recruiting troops in the name of suppressing bandits for some time, and the scale had long exceeded the upper limit of county soldiers, and even some soldiers had to pretend to be bandits and hide in the mountains.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Probably not, we are recruiting troops very carefully, and the extra soldiers are well hidden, Your Majesty should not be able to find out." ”

"Ergong is right!" Pei Lin also said: "The saint transferred Yuming back this time, ostensibly to promote him, but in fact, he is ascending and descending secretly, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it." The subordinates believe that the Holy Lord does not trust the Yu family. It was only out of consideration for the balance of power between the DPRK and China that the Yu valve was not eradicated. And this time, let Yu Ming come to the original supervision, it may really be just to simply supervise the construction of Jinyang Palace! ”

"Hmmm! Shimin and Pei Lin made a lot of sense. That being the case, the old man accompanied him around. You're still doing what you planned! Li Yuan said at this time.

The four brothers of the Li family naturally agreed repeatedly, and then said goodbye and left.
