Chapter 24: Anger and Helplessness
Jinyang City, the northern capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, Jinyang stayed in Li Yuan's study, Li Yuan was playing with a set of tea sets with a milky yellow color, "Obediently, this set of tea sets is really ingenious....... it is really worthy of the price of three hundred taels of gold....... if he wins the world in the future, my Li Shude wins the world......" Just when Li Yuan was talking to himself, the servant came to report, "Master, the ninth master is back......."
"Oh? Deming (Lee Hyo-gi's character) is back? Let him come to me! When Li Yuan heard this, he immediately put down the tea set in his hand and said, and after a while, Li Xiaoji walked into the study, and as soon as he saw Li Yuan, he saw the tea set, "Big brother, I didn't expect you to have such a Yaxing, do you know where this tea set comes from and who made it?" ”
As soon as Li Yuan saw that it was Li Xiaoji, he opened his mouth and said, "It's Deming, when did you come back?" After speaking, Li Yuan asked people to make tea and entertain his cousin, "Hehehe, how Deming, do you know the origin of this set of tea sets?" ”
"Hehehe, big brother, if the younger brother is not mistaken, you have spent a lot of money for this tea set......." Li Xiaoji said with a smile.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "No, this set of tea sets cost the old man a full three hundred taels of gold....... but as far as the old man knows, even that faint monarch does not have such a clever treasure......" Li Yuan's old man Li's words were full of self-satisfaction.
However, to Li Yuan's surprise, Li Xiaoji actually opened his mouth and laughed, "Big brother, you believe all these Deming, but if it is said that there is no one in ten thousand, then Deming does not dare to agree......."
"Oh? How so? "Li Yuan Yile, his ninth brother, has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years and has rich experience, so his words will definitely not be wrong.
"Hehehe, big brother, your tea set is custard in color and extremely thin in texture...... It's a treasure that is hard to find in porcelain......." Li Xiaoji said with a smile, and when he saw that Li Yuan was quite complacent, he continued, "As far as I know, your porcelain is produced in the Fu kiln of Linzi......"
"Fu Yao? There are only a few famous kilns in the world, when will there be a blessing kiln? Li Yuan is also a person who loves porcelain, he can count the famous porcelain kilns, and this is the first time he has heard of this lucky kiln.
"Hey, this Fu kiln was originally in Fuyang, and then I followed Han Wa'er to Linzi...... Li Xiaoji said unhurriedly, "It can be said that the Fu kiln was created by Han Wa'er....... as far as I know, this new porcelain is also the first ..... fired by Han Wa'er."
The Han Wa'er in Li Xiaoji's mouth is Li Yuan's eldest grandson Li Chengzong, so when Li Xiaoji said Han Wa'er, Li Yuan's face changed suddenly, he really didn't expect that the porcelain he regarded as a treasure was actually from Li Chengzong's hand, but the more exciting words that made him more exciting were still behind, "Big brother, Han Wa'er has many industries under his name, and he is a good hand in business and politics, even the military strategy, Han Wa'er can be compared with a famous general like Han Baohu....... it's not that the brother said you, you took his eldest grandson's position, this ......"
Li Xiaoji is Li Yuan's cousin, Li Yuan's absolute confidant, and the patriarch of the Li family, so this sentence, he said, Li Yuan was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he looked at Li Xiaoji, "Deming, you are from the east, do you have some clues?" ”
It seems that Li Yuan is planning to avoid this question, Li Xiaoji is also a smart person, so he told Li Yuan how he met Li Chengzong, and how he talked to Li Chengzong and the situation in the east, etc., and finally took out a letter and handed it to Li Yuan, "Big brother, this is Hanwa'er, ask me to bring you the letter, he said that you will know what he thinks when you read it......."
After Li Yuan took the letter in Li Xiaoji's hand, Li Xiaoji got up and said goodbye, Li Yuan was the only one left in the study, Li Yuan Li opened the envelope, and saw a piece of paper that he had never seen before, which was full of fly-headed letters, and the handwriting was very neat, which made people feel very comfortable, "Good words, good words, really good words, I can't imagine that Han Wa'er actually wrote such a good hand, who taught it?" Is it the little lady of the Pei family? It's impossible to hiss....... this rebel grandson, it's to anger the old man......"
Hey, why did Li Chengzong's letter make Old Man Li angry? What did he write? In fact, the tone of Li Chengzong's letter is also sincere, to the effect that I do not deny that I am a descendant of the old Li family, but if you want me to condescend to Li Chengdao's children and Zheng Guanyin, I'm sorry, I can't do it, my mother can't die in vain, as for the Zheng family behind them, Li Chengzong said that I am not afraid of the Zheng family, not to mention that I didn't go to my mother's maiden family, the Pei family, then the Pei family is not much worse than the Zheng family, if you annoy the master, I don't have to find any Pei family, hum, be careful of their old nest Xingyang hum, Anyway, it basically means that grandpa is going to rebel, and I can support you if I want to be the emperor, and I can even give you strategic support, but you want to take away what belongs to me with empty teeth and white teeth, I'm sorry.........
No wonder Old Man Li was furious when he saw it, but after this anger, Li Yuan was silent again, "The little monkey's wings are stiff, alas, he is angry about the fact that he lost his eldest grandson, it seems that the old man underestimated my eldest grandson, and he is a prince at a young age........ Alas, I didn't expect you to grow up to the point where you could threaten a thousand-year-old family like the Zheng family......."
Li Yuan was pacing around, what could this do? He immediately found his old friend and thinker Pei Lin and his maternal uncle Dou Wei to talk about the matter, "Xuan Zhen, look at it, this is a letter from Han Wa'er, the little monkey doesn't listen to the greeting, what should I do?" ”
"Brother Shude, the younger brother was born in the Pei family, and that child also has the blood of our Wenxi Pei family, you shouldn't ask me about this, you are a family matter......... "How smart Pei Lin is, just kidding me, but that kid is the kid's cousin, I said that you hurriedly abolished his eldest grandson, what will you think Li Shude?"
"The old man said a long time ago, that kid is not stupid, he was killed, what did you Li Shude say at that time? You need the support of the Zheng family, but look at it now, that kid has a heavy army, dominates one side, just like a prince, the Zheng family, hum, forget it, your Li Shude's family affairs, the old man can't take care of it, and he doesn't want to take care of it..... "Dou Wei is the leader of the Guanlong aristocracy, and he doesn't want to see the Zheng family.
"Do I have to abolish the position of the eldest grandson of the Inheritance? Forget it, forget it, hey................ Han Wa'er, you are making it difficult for your grandfather....... "Li Yuan is also in trouble, and wants to punish that stinky boy, don't say that you are not the master of the world if you don't raise troops, even if you have a reputation, what can you do with Han Wazi?"
"Brother Shude, at least the kid made it clear in this letter, he supports you in raising troops and saving all the people from fire and water, it's time!" Pei Lin said after carefully reading Li Chengzong's letter.
"Well, the old man also agrees with Xuan Zhen's opinion, Shude, if you get into trouble, the old man will help you attack Guanzhong........." Dou Wei is also encouraging Li Yuan to make trouble, if you don't do anything, you can't do it, seeing that the Great Sui Dynasty will not work, if you don't do anything, their chance to close the Long nobles will be gone......
Li Yuan still couldn't resist the temptation of sitting on the lord of the world, and then said that his eldest grandson said that he supported himself in trouble, hum As long as the little monkey supports him, he is behind Li Mi, Master Li, Master Li, I can't imagine that the old man has a sharp blade behind you, it's time to start an incident, my good cousin, I'm sorry, who let your aunt and uncle die, you have always been suspicious of me?
Although the history books of later generations say that the anti-Sui was Li Shimin and Li Er's idea, it is actually inaccurate, the real mastermind is precisely Li Yuan, who is known as Granny Li, Li Yuan is actually a far-sighted and ambitious person.
Just as Jiang Mo, the mayor of Jinyang at that time, once said, "The Sui government is about to die, and there will be saints who will accept it. Li Yuan had long been dissatisfied with the rule and policies of his good cousin His Majesty Yang Er, and had long had the idea of replacing him, as early as four or five years before he (Li Yuan) stayed in Taiyuan, that is, when the peasant uprising began to break out, and His Majesty Yang Er was attacking Goguryeo, he began to have the idea of replacing Sui. It's just that he doesn't have the area and military strength under his own control, so he has to be deferential and humble to His Majesty Yang Er.
But when he just became a Taiyuan stayer and had a piece of his own territory, he "took Taiyuan Lishu, the old people of Tao Tang, and was appeased by the envoy, not exceeding this seal, and he liked this trip in privacy, thinking that God had granted it." This shows Li Yuan's excitement after leaving the center of the Great Sui Empire and gaining his own sphere of influence.
Now that he has a territory, this world chaos is the time for his own welfare, he first sent Liu Wenjing, who was the first to propose to him "peace with the Turks", to envoy to the Turks, and successfully reached a kind of alliance with the Turkic Shibi Khan, which is not equal, stabilized the north, and then exterminated the two powerful rebel forces of Wuduan and Chai Baochang, and incorporated their soldiers, his strength has been the largest in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, is this ambition and fangs to be revealed?
