Chapter 44: Helpless Old Man Li
Everything is going very smoothly, except for Qufu Yanzhou and other southwest corners of Qilu, as well as Xuzhou, Shezhou and Donghai County and other places in northern Jiangsu have all fallen into the hands of the Han King Li Chengzong, some old officialdom fritters led by Pei Ju joined the Han Kingdom, which can be regarded as alleviating the embarrassing situation of Li Chengzong's talent shortage, as for the reason why they joined the Han Kingdom, many of them are here to leave their names in history, of course, there are also many poor scholars who come to serve, but these scholars, hey, really can't make Li Chengzong satisfied.
And Li Chengzong and his daughter-in-law Yang Rong are talking nonsense with their sister-in-law Princess Nanyang, they want to know how Princess Nanyang will face off with Su Lie, Princess Nanyang's fate has undergone a huge change here, she did not become a nun like in history, but found a new love again, that is, Li Chengzong's brother-in-law Su Lie Su Dingfang, after learning that Lao Su is still an old bachelor, Princess Nanyang knows that her conditions cannot be compared with her unmarried sisters, if she doesn't take the initiative to attack, then Lao Su will become someone else's Langjun, She is a decisive person, and she will do it when she sees it, and it didn't take long for Lao Su to become the minister of Princess Nanyang.
But at this time, an envoy came from Chang'an, and this envoy was Princess Nanyang's ex-husband Yu Wenshihe, and after he knew that Princess Nanyang was also on Qindao, he planned to meet Princess Nanyang, and Princess Nanyang decided not to meet him.
Yu Wenshi and entangled, please return to husband and wife. Princess Nanyang angrily rejected him and said to him: "Yuwen Shiji, Jun and I are now enemies, and I only hate to be able to slash Jun, just because when Brother Ling rebelled, Jun did not know in advance. ”
After Princess Nanyang finished speaking, she announced that she had severed relations with Yu Wenshi and sternly told him to leave quickly. Yu Wenshi still pleaded, and Princess Nanyang said angrily: "If you must want to die, you can come in and see me." ”
Seeing that she was so resolute, Yu Wenshi knew that he could not convince her, so he took his leave and left. After Yu Wenshi left, Princess Nanyang said angrily: "Is it difficult to be married to the brother who killed his father and enemy? Su Lang, you come out of the mystery behind the screen, this concubine body is really careless, hum, if you dare to bear me, hum, I will go to your righteous brother and my sister, you know ......."
As soon as these words came out, what else could Su Lie say, your sisters are the most powerful, the Han King managed by Yang Rong is dead, and when he comes to you, it is the same, but who made me Lao Su rare you.......
As for the intention of Chang'an, the Han Kingdom has long known it, don't they just want the heirloom jade seal and the territory of the Han Kingdom? The envoy who came this time is Li Chengzong's uncle, Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, this Li Ying Li Degui is cowardly and incompetent, but he is a good hand at telling right and wrong, here in Li Chengzong, he touched a gray nose and returned to Chang'an in a gray manner.
In the Ganlu Hall of Chang'an Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was angry, "Bastard thing, I'm angry, the jade seal of the country must be in the hands of the little beast, does he still have this grandfather in his eyes?" I am not satisfied with the title of King Taiyuan, you set up yourself as the king of Han, and I have endured it! But you got the jade seal of the heirloom country, and you didn't send it to me quickly, but you left it by yourself, what do you want to do, little beast? Could it be that you also want to fight for the world? Little beast, do you know that this dragon chair can only be done by the Mandate of Heaven, and you can also have the idea of snatching the days as a servant? Anyway, if you don't take me as your grandfather, and I don't take you as the emperor's grandson, I originally wanted to wait for the prince to persuade the Zheng family to tolerate one or two, and wait for you to return to Chang'an, with you as the eldest grandson......... Since you are so ignorant, I will let you know what the destiny of heaven is difficult to violate, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and pass on the decree, let Da Lang lead the troops to crusade against that little brute, and let Li Yi cooperate with Da Lang from Youzhou.........."
Ouch, Li Yuan, are you dizzy? Wang Shichong of Luoyang, you haven't solved it yet, isn't it a little unwise for you to crusade against your own grandson? It's really not that Li Yuan is dizzy, it's really that this jade seal is too important to Li Yuan, because those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as "white emperors", which seems to be lacking in confidence and is despised by the world.
Li Yuan didn't want to be scolded as the emperor of the tabula rasa, and Li Chengzong's repeated disobedience to his will made Old Man Li feel that the imperial power had been challenged, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven was not to be offended, even if the other party was a close relative, so in anger, Li Yuan made the decision to crusade against Li Chengzong.
However, Li Yuan let Li Jiancheng fight, which is really ......... Whose prince is not sitting in the capital, how can he lead troops to the battle? But Li Jiancheng can't do it, how can this Li Chengzong say that he is also his son, he doesn't obey discipline, who will go if Li Jiancheng doesn't go? In addition, Li Er and Li Shimin's crusade from the east and west are getting bigger and bigger, which makes Li Jiancheng feel a little uneasy, and in the long run, Li Jiancheng will have no prestige in the army.
However, the father and son of the Li family never thought that even Dou Jiande fled in embarrassment in a battle, and the vitality of the Xia State, which had just been founded, was greatly damaged, and even Li Mi, who dominated the Central Plains, was helpless, and the former Sui Xiaoguo, who was helpless, bowed down to the Han army was so easy to fight?
However, Lao Li just gave the order to attack Li Chengzong, but was stopped by Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department, "Your Majesty, not to mention that the King of Taiyuan is your own grandson, if you attack him, it will be considered fratricidal, even if you really plan, well, even if you put down the rebellion, Your Majesty, just rely on the King of Huai'an's little men and horses are obviously not enough, even if I am the Tang Dynasty Wangshi rebelling, this can be separated by Liu Heimin, Gao Xudao and other separatist forces under the control of Dou Jiande, these people can be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, you can't go near and far......"
Li Yuan: "This .......... What do you say, Aiqing? ? That little beast refused to accept my kindness, and what was even more odious was that he didn't send me to Chang'an after getting the jade seal of the country, did he want to stand on his own? ”
After Qu Tutong listened, he couldn't help complaining in his heart, if Your Majesty hadn't been too stingy, would you have been able to get to this point? There are also proper princes on one side, there are 100,000 elite Han soldiers in their hands, that is the existence of the Great Sui Xiaoguo buried alive, I am afraid that only the Xuanjia soldiers of His Royal Highness King Qin can be compared, but the question is how many Xuanjia soldiers are there, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, how can His Royal Highness the King of Han afford such a huge elite army? However, in the face of Lao Li's inquiry, Lao Qutu could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, this is still waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Qin to defeat Wang Shichong and take Luoyang, and after taking Luoyang, the King of Taiyuan will not be able to capture it by then?" ”
As soon as Lao Li heard it, what you said is also very reasonable, as long as Luoyang is taken, the general trend of the world will be in Li Tang, and he will not be afraid of little beasts when the time comes, hum, so Lao Li will go down the slope and concentrate his troops to attack Luoyang first, and he can only let Li Chengzong go first........
