Luoyang City, heavy snow is flying, like Qionghua everywhere, silver light flashing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang State Mansion.

Li Yuan's mansion accounts for a quarter of the entire Lifang, and in terms of scale, it is not small, although it cannot be compared with Yang Su, Yang Yun and others, but it can definitely be included in the top ten.

Although Li Yuan was not valued by Yang Guang and had just been promoted to Weiwei Shaoqing, he inherited the position of Duke of Tang Guo, and Yang Guang was an expression, doing things in a mediocre manner, and with the help of Li Valve's fame, he continued to expand his contacts, and many of the old masters in Guanzhong appreciated Li Yuan very much, and some ministers also had a lot of friendship with him among the officials in office.

Under the double backing of Dou Valve and Li Valve, coupled with the relationship with the emperor's cousin, he still has a certain right to speak in the court.

Tonight, Li Valve came to have a guest, it was his close friend Fang Yanqian, who was currently the superintendent of the imperial court.

"Brother Fang, why did you come late at night on a snowy night?" Li Yuan felt strange.

"Foolish brother came here to ask Tang Guogong!" Fang Yanqian gave up.

"What happened?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

Fang Yanqian said anxiously: "My old friend, Xue Daoheng was arrested and put in prison, and he needs to find someone to intercede." ”

Li Yuan asked a little confused: "Brother Xue, why was he arrested?" ”

Fang Yanqian explained: "Brother Xue went to the place to be a assassin for a period of time, because of retirement and returned to Beijing, today's temporary court meeting, he presented a poem "Ode to Emperor Gaozuwen", which is written with a poem praising the first emperor, of course, His Majesty is unhappy, and today His Majesty encountered the assassination, he was greatly annoyed, so after retreating from the court, he listened to the guards in front of the palace say that His Majesty directly tore off the ode, and said that Xue Daoheng praised the first dynasty, the purpose is to satirize the present. However, when Xue Daoheng left the palace, he learned that Gao Xi and others were demoted to concubines, and made a few complaints, which were heard by many people such as Yuwenshu and Pei Yun. ”

After hearing this, Li Yuan was taken aback and said: "This matter, it's not easy to do, Your Majesty has broken face today, it is just because he is angry, he was stabbed, what a big deal, Brother Xue bumped into it at this juncture, it is really too lucky." ”

Fang Yanqian said: "That's why Brother Fool came to find Tang Guogong, your wife has a bad relationship with Empress Xiao, and Wang Guifei is Tang Guogong's niece, as long as you open up the relationship with the harem and persuade your majesty more, you should not die and leave a life, which is a great luck." ”

Li Yuan hesitated, not because he didn't want to help, but now Yang Guang didn't listen to the advice, whoever entered the palace to intercede was very dangerous, and it was not good, it was self-defeating, and he dragged himself into the water.

He is a wise and well-versed person who knows the golden mean, the old city is calm, never easy to venture and take risks, his brows are furrowed, and he is silent.

"Brother Fang's mood, Li can empathize, in fact, I am also worried about Brother Xue, but Your Majesty is angry now, who can say it? It is estimated that what he wants most is to catch the assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes, and his suspicion is even heavier, even if you and I find a few more ministers to enter the palace to intercede, it will not work for the time being, and maybe he will be punished! ”

Li Yuan said it tactfully, and pulled Fang Yanqian in, asking him to put himself in his shoes and think about the scene of entering the palace to intercede and be punished together, so as not to let himself enter the palace alone and collide with Emperor Yang of Sui.

Fang Yanqian thought about his family, if he was punished, how would it end?

had to calm down, he was over sixty years old, and he could be said to be an old friend with Xue Daoheng for decades, and after learning the news of being imprisoned, he rushed to the Tang Guogong Mansion on impulse, and he didn't think too much about it at all.

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Brother Fang also knows that although I am the duke of the country, my official position is not prominent, in front of the saint, I can't hand over many words, I don't know where to start, I am elected to a few people who are highly respected or deeply favored by His Majesty, and after His Majesty extinguishes the fire, I can go together." ”

"By the way, how about Luo Cheng, he is now one of the six nobles of the imperial court, he has just established a great achievement, and he is deeply respected by His Majesty, I heard that outside the Yumen Pass, Gao Xi and He Ruobi are about to be beheaded, but Luo Cheng pleaded in front of the saint, bypassing the three of them and not dying, but they were just reduced to commoners and never used again."

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Zhaoyun He has not only accepted the advice, but also been adopted by His Majesty, and forgave Gao Xi and others, which can be said to be a great favor and gave Luo Cheng enough affection, but this face is too big, and it has aroused the jealousy of many people, and now I am afraid that Yuwenshu, Dugujia, Pei Yun, etc., are all staring at him, and there are many people who plan to make a fuss about him, and there are many people who want to use it, Your Majesty also has an opinion on him afterwards, and feels that he has a great influence on the government, so at this time, push him out, I'm afraid it's a big disadvantage for him! ”

Fang Yanqian sighed: "How is that good, except for Luo Cheng and Tang Guogong, I really can't imagine that there are other people in the court who are qualified and sincere to plead in front of Your Majesty." ”

Li Yuan persuaded him to endure and said: "Don't be impulsive, let me think about it again and think of a thoughtful way." To save people this time, you have to pay attention to strategy, but you can't blindly hit and recklessly enter the palace, how much you go like that, how much you plant. ”

"Okay, this matter, I will get rid of Tang Guogong, Fang Mou can't be an official, and he will save Brother Xue's life."

"I see." Li Yuan nodded, not sure in his heart.

After Fang Yanqian left, Li Yuan was worried, this matter is basically unresolved at present, he doesn't dare to really enter the palace to intercede, it is almost like sending him to death.

There are old people in the Li Mansion, there are young people under them, their ambitions have not been paid, and their talents have not been displayed, Li Yuan doesn't want to ruin his career like this.

He returned to the courtyard of the inner house, at this time, in the main house where he lived, the lights were bright, and several children were standing in front of the Duchess of Tang Guo, Dou, ready to go to bed to greet him.

When the children saw their father enter the house, they all greeted him together.

"Father!" Nineteen-year-old Li Jiancheng, eleven-year-old Li Shimin, ten-year-old Li Xiuning, and six-year-old Li Yuanji stood in a row, their heads arranged in a staircase.

"Mr. Fang is gone, isn't Xuan Ling coming?" Dou asked.

"Well, let's go, it's a bit of a hurry." Li Yuan paused and said to the four children: "Let's all go back and go to bed early, don't catch a cold." ”

After the four children left the main mansion, Li Yuan told Fang Yanqian about his visit tonight, and after Dou heard it, he also frowned and said: "Difficult, this matter, I can't rush it, especially now, the assassin has not yet been found, His Majesty is very suspicious, and now it is estimated that he is suspicious of the family gate valve one by one, whoever comes up at this time may attract his special attention and suspicion, although the two have nothing to do with it." ”

"You say, should you bring Luo Cheng closer?"

"Don't do it, then he may make a big mistake, doesn't the husband plan to have a deep friendship with him, and use his momentum to reuse His Majesty? It is not in the husband's interest to push him out too early. ”

Li Yuan nodded lightly, Dou's words were similar to what he thought, so when there were troubles, it was mostly discussed by husband and wife.

"Which family is this assassin from?" Li Yuan couldn't guess either.

"It is estimated that tonight, many people in Chang'an City are thinking about this problem and have insomnia." Dou sneered.

"Yes, I'm afraid that Da Sui will not be peaceful." Li Yuan sighed lightly, he had an intuition, which was particularly strong, and he actually felt that something was going to happen in the prosperous Sui Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
