A few days later, Guan Chong made peace with Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie.

Along the way, Guan Chong promoted his theories and attracted people in a very high-profile manner, and gathered more than 10,000 people, but compared with Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie, his power was much smaller.

It's like the Golden Vulture technique.

Once the pressure was gone, the three began to calculate with each other.

However, relatively speaking, it is still much more noble.

In order to prevent being annexed by the other two, he took the initiative to support Liu Yuanjin as the Son of Heaven.

Among the forces of the three, Liu Yuanjin can only rank second, and the pie that suddenly fell from the sky made him overjoyed.

In order to be the titular boss, he naturally wants to form an alliance with Guan Chong, who supports him.

Zhu Xie is also useless.

If there is a little bit of brain. At this point, either start anew, or quickly get rid of the two and annex their men.

But Zhu Xie actually compromised.

So Liu Yuanjin happily proclaimed himself emperor, and appointed Guan Chong and Zhu Xie as prime ministers.

Their rebel army, which has also grown to more than 100,000 horses, has become a climate in Wu County.

The fact that Liu Yuanjin was proclaimed emperor was definitely a blow to his prestige for Yang Liang, the puppet emperor who was already lacking in quality.

Yang Liang was furious after hearing the inquiry, and sent Zhao Liu'er, the general of Huya, to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the thieves, but was defeated by Guan Chong's general Lu Kai's camp.

The news of the defeat was reported to the meeting, and Yang Liang was shocked after inquiring, and hurriedly summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to the court to discuss national affairs.

At this moment, Yang Liang was completely panicked, and after the civil and military officials arrived, he said impatiently: "Before, you said that Zhao Liu'er only needs to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion. The result is that the whole army is wiped out, you say, what the hell should I do?! ”

Most of these officials are sons and daughters of families.

Moreover, since the beginning of Nan Chen, Jiangnan has become extravagant, and the academic atmosphere is not very good, so many of these families are children who only know how to have fun.

Compared with the children of the military family in Jiangbei, it is more than a star and a half worse.

At this moment, after Yang Liang asked, no one dared to speak.

"You're all deaf! Or dumb? It's talking! Yang Liang saw that they lowered their heads one by one, and they jumped even more violently.

"Your Majesty." Li Jiancheng suddenly came out of the class and said: "Li Yuanba, the fourth brother of the minister, was given the pill by the favor of the immortals, and after taking it, he not only grew from an eight-year-old child to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in a short period of time, but also became infinitely powerful, with no less than 10,000 catties of strength in one arm. If he is allowed to go out with the army, he will definitely be able to break the prisoner of thieves. ”

"If your brother is so good, why didn't he recommend it to me sooner?"

"This ......," Li Jiancheng looked embarrassed.

"If you have something to say, I will forgive you for your innocence."

"Yes." After Li Jiancheng thanked him, he said: "Yuanba has the best relationship with my second brother Shimin, and I only listen to him, so even if I recommend him, there is no way to let him go to the battlefield obediently." ”

"Oh?"

Yang Liang looked to the other side and asked, "Shimin, since you have such a good brother, why don't you recommend it to me?" ”

Li Shimin originally wanted to use Li Yuanba as a killer weapon, and when he raised troops in the future, he would let him accompany the army.

After all, the sooner it is exposed, the more vigilant these southern families will be.

For the sake of the family's interests, they will only assist the puppets controlled by the family, and will not assist the wise lord.

As soon as Li Yuanba's strength was exposed, it would be difficult to win them over.

It's just that what Li Shimin didn't expect was that the eldest brother would be so unscrupulous, and seeing that his relationship with Yang Liang was getting closer and closer, he exposed this matter and took the opportunity to separate the relationship between himself and Yang Liang.

Li Shimin understood.

Because of the concealment of Li Yuanba's force, Yang Liang will definitely not trust himself as much as before.

However, Yang Liang and the civil and military officials all looked at him, and he had to come up with a suitable reason to be born.

Li Shimin could only make it up: "Your Majesty, Weichen's fourth brother is a little stupid, moody, and doesn't know the etiquette in the palace, Weichen is afraid that he will collide with the holy car, so he didn't dare to recommend it." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence, so you can bring your fourth brother and let me and all the ministers see it."

"Yes!" Li Shimin retreated.

But I kept sighing in my heart.

From now on, it will be difficult for me to keep a low profile, and I will be treated as a rafter who will come out, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to achieve great things.

When he got home, Li Yuanba happily greeted him.

"Second brother, aren't you going to the court? Why did you come back so soon. ”

"Yuanba is good, can the second brother take you to the court to eat good things?"

"Good!"

"Then you have to be obedient, you know?"

"Oh!"

Li Shimin patted him on the back dotingly, and then went to the back hall to see his mother and told him what happened in the court.

"Since it is the emperor's decree, you should hurry up and lead Yuanba to go."

"Yes."

Li Shimin said goodbye to his mother and went out of the house with Li Yuanba.

In the corner of the garden, Li Yuanji looked at the two of them and smiled.

Their mother, Dou, happened to see it and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Dou understood that although his eldest son was at odds with his second son, it was not to the point of tension.

The reason why today's incident happened is indispensable to Li Yuanji's instigation.

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

The first three sons have to have the ability to do things, they have to be scheming, and they have to be scheming in an ordinary family, and they have to have fun stealing to have a son like this.

But in their own house, the husband left early, and no one could suppress them, so if this calculation continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before this family is dissolved......

Li Shimin took Li Yuanba into the palace, and after seeing Yang Liang, Li Yuanba not only did not kneel down, but looked up at him very curiously, and asked, "Are you the emperor?" ”

Li Shimin secretly said that it was not good.

Yang Liang looked at this Li Yuanba, thin and dry, and he also had a thunderous mouth, which was very different from the appearance of his two elder brothers.

First of all, in terms of appearance, Yang Liang was very displeased in his heart.

Of course, now that the civil and military officials are watching, he can't show the side of judging people by their appearance, so he pretended to be very patient and said: "Yes, I am the son of today." ”

"Son of Heaven? What is the Son of Heaven? Li Yuanba asked curiously.

"Fourth brother, don't talk too much, hurry up and salute!" Li Shimin said in a low voice.

"Oh." Li Yuanba responded, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed according to what the second brother taught: "Meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"Excuse me."

"Oh." Li Yuanba stood up suddenly, and didn't even say thank you.

Li Shimin complained bitterly in his heart, and repeatedly confessed to Yang Liang.

"It doesn't matter." Yang Liang pretended to forgive him very much, and asked at the same time: "Li Yuanba, I heard that you are born with divine powers, so let's give me a show today." ”

Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin.

"Fourth brother, you let the emperor see your strength."

"What do you think?" Li Yuanba scratched his head.

Yang Liang on the platform suddenly said: "There is a rockery outside the hall, it is said that there are twenty or thirty thousand catties, you can move it into the main hall for me." ”

There are many strange stones in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rockery that Yang Liang said has a large number of holes on the surface in the garden on the east side of the main hall. After he finished speaking, he asked a guard to lead Li Yuanba over.

The guard saw that Li Yuanba was short and as thin as a monkey, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: That Li family brother can really brag, just such a thing, can move tens of thousands of catties of strange stones.
