Chapter 3 Gambling (Part 1)
If you don't try, you'll never get a chance. {.。。 Head. Back then, Pei Lin relied on the same words to persuade Li Yuan to raise troops in time, and took advantage of the fact that the attention of the Great Sui court was focused on Henan, and captured the capital of Chang'an in one fell swoop. This laid the foundation of Datang's current business.
Today, when I hear this sentence again, everyone will laugh. Fight for the world? It's a big gamble in itself. No one can guarantee that they will have the last laugh. Fortunately, the Li family has enough gambling money now, even if they occasionally lose one or two games, as long as they are not distracted, they can win back sooner or later.
"In this way, there will be Lao Xuanzhen!" Li Yuan was not optimistic about Pei Lian's leadership ability, but he was organized and confident when he heard him. I couldn't help but change my mind. He understood Pei Lian's eagerness to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty, not only understood, but also regarded this as a manifestation of the vitality of the new dynasty. If the civil and military generals are like the previous dynasty, they will take advantage of the benefits, and if they are in trouble, they will hide. The prosperity of Datang may not last a few days.
"Don't dare, it's our honor to be able to serve the Lord!" Pei Lin responded with a smile, bowed down and bowed to Li Yuan to make a courtesy.
"Tomorrow morning, I will announce this in front of my ministers. All the generals in the Beijing division that Xuan Zhen thinks can be called, if you bring it up, I will approve it one by one! Li Yuan smiled and held Pei Lian's arm up, then turned around and walked back to the case, spreading out an article about the local disaster relief this spring.
The ministers knew that this was an expression that the discussion had come to an end, and they all got up to take their leave. Li Yuan nodded in agreement, and watched everyone go out one by one. Walking at the end was Chen Yanshou, whose thin official robe was illuminated by the lights, and even the backbone behind him was exposed.
Li Yuan's heart twitched when he saw it, put down his hand, and shouted in a low voice, "Gong Chen, you wait a minute." A few days ago, Luo Yi sent a few thousand-year-old ginsengs from Youzhou, and I will ask the waiter to bring them to you! ”
"Your Majesty, ahem, old minister, thank you!" Chen Yanshou coughed and turned around, his old face full of emotion. "But the thousand-year-old ginseng is not easy to come by, and His Majesty still uses it where it should be used. Old minister, old minister......" He smiled and shook his head, his eyes unconsciously revealing a touch of desolation.
"What are these words? Do I have to show you my heart? Li Yuan stood up, walked quickly to Chen Yanshou, and reached out to grab his arm. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Say a few thousand-year-old ginsengs, even if you want dragon liver and phoenix marrow, as long as I can find it, I will send someone to find it for you! ”
"Old minister, old minister, cough cough, old minister didn't mean that!" Chen Yanshou kept coughing, but his voice sounded weak. "The old minister is now over the age of old, cough, cough, even if there is no illness or disaster, cough, cough, cough, it is time to go to Lord Yama's side to answer the truth. The thousand-year-old ginseng is said to have the effect of prolonging life, and when the champion is in the competition, it is not known which general will be injured. It is definitely more appropriate to use them than to spoil them for the old ministers! ”
Li Yuan shook his head and stretched out his hand to pat Chen Yanshou on the back, "If you need it in the future, you will talk about it later." You'd better take care of yourself first. Hugh is old, I am not much younger than you. At that time, Lian Po was still able to get on the horse and hold a spear when he was seventy, but you were only as old as him, how could you leave me so quickly? ”
This kind of brotherly affection between monarchs and ministers makes people feel very comfortable, Chen Yanshou closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said quietly: "The minister is a civil official, and his body bones are not comparable to General Lian Po." It's not self-defeating, it's a feeling in my heart. The minister estimates, the minister estimates that this year's Chongyang, Your Majesty will climb high and look far away, and there will be one less person with dogwood around him! ”
"Don't think!" Li Yuan's hand instantly increased his strength, and Chen Yanshou's body was crooked, "Don't you want to slack off, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." I won't give you mourning behind you, and I won't even give you a decent stone monument! ”
"Your Majesty, don't tell jokes!" Chen Yanshou knew that Li Yuan couldn't do it, so he shook his head with a smile, "The old minister doesn't want to mourn after his death, the old minister can meet His Majesty in this life, just like Hua Lu has to meet Zhou Mu, content, content!" ”
"You guy, you're here to send my sycophants too!" Li Yuan grabbed Chen Yanshou's arm and forced him to his throne. "Sit down, don't move. The seat was so hard that I never felt comfortable on it. If you're gone, I'll be even more lonely! ”
Saying this, he also felt desolate in his heart, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"But how many people in the world are looking at this position with their eyes open!" Chen Yanshou tossed twice on the throne with his buttocks, revealing a rare hint of naughtiness in his smile. "Let you come down now, I'm afraid you won't be reluctant!"
"Of course I can't bear it!" Li Yuan pushed Chen Yanshou away a bit, and he squeezed into the throne. "But the human heart is not satisfied. I can not be alone, or I hope not to be alone. Take good care of your illness, and I will allow you not to come every day. If there is something important that is difficult to decide, I will personally send someone to pick you up at the house! ”
"Your Majesty" Chen Yanshou called in a low voice, turning his head to look back.
"Why, can't you bear the authority in your hands? Still don't worry about me!" Li Yuan laughed, his eyes met Chen Yanshou's eyes, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"It's a bit of both!" Chen Yanshou also smiled, coughing while frankly admitting. "The taste of power is like alcohol, once you taste it, it is difficult to let go!"
"Then you still curse yourself for dying early every day?" Li Yuan pushed Chen Yanshou and blamed in a low voice.
"There is such a day in the world. The minister is not an immortal, of course he can't escape! Chen Yanshou put away his smile and replied with a straight face. However, Your Majesty, the minister has something to say, I hope to make it clear to you as soon as possible! ”
"Say, are you afraid that if you say something wrong, I will blame you!" Li Yuan shrugged with a smile, "After so many years, you don't know what kind of temperament I am." ”
"It is precisely because I know Your Majesty's temperament that the minister worries about Your Majesty!" Chen Yanshou covered his mouth, trying not to let the spit from his cough spew on Li Yuan's body, "Minister, cough, minister, minister stopped King Qin from leading the troops today, it, cough, cough, in fact, there is another reason!" ”
"I know!" Li Yuan took his cup of tea and gently handed it to Chen Yanshou, "You speak slowly, don't worry." The night is long. And I, like you, have long passed the age of snooze! ”
"Lord Pei is actually standing up for His Royal Highness King Qin!" Chen Yanshou took a sip of water and said as coherently as possible.
"I know!" Li Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded. "The prince's temperament is too easy-going, and he is kind but not authoritative. So you'd rather offend the crown prince than the king of Qin! ”
"The eldest grandson Shunde has also been running for the comeback of King Qin!" Chen Yanshou looked at Li Yuan with blazing eyes.
"I know that, too. Not only him, but also Liu Wenjing, Duan Zhixuan, and Qu Tutong. Shimin, this kid, is very good at being a man! Li Yuan smiled, the expression on his face was very interesting.
"There are also Li Jing, Yin Kaishan, and Tang Jianmao about ......," Chen Yanshou continued, and the names of the important ministers who were good friends with Li Shimin were revealed one by one.
"I know that, too!" Li Yuan let out a long sigh. "But Jian's temperament is too weak, and if there is no pressure behind him, I'm afraid he will be even more reluctant to improve. My Tang Dynasty can't stop at me. ”
"Today, King Qin's comeback was denied, and everyone followed up with Qu Tutong, if it wasn't for Master Pei taking the lead in getting the position of coach, I'm afraid that next, they would also recommend Duan Zhixuan. Your Majesty, are you really not aware of it at all? The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, but he killed his brother and took the country! ”
"I believe that the construction is not so weak. I handed over Li Yi and Li Zhongjian to him. Li Yuan finally couldn't hold it anymore, stood up, and walked back and forth irritably. I have also been suppressing the people, and you have always seen all kinds of means. But in today's situation, all the ministers are pushing the people of the world to come out, what is your name? What can I do, Shimin, Shimin, after all, he is also my son! ”
"Your Majesty, that's what the old minister is worried about!" Chen Yanshou also stood up, his hands propped up on the imperial case, and his body kept trembling. "The main stem is too weak, and the side branches are too strong. This is the way to get rid of trouble. The old minister also watched Jiancheng and the people grow up, does the old minister hope that they will kill each other in the future? Your Majesty can't bear it today, and in the future, I'm afraid that I will be sad for half a lifetime, and I can't regret it! ”
After saying so many words in a row, his breathing immediately became uneasy. The body was half afraid to lie on the imperial table, first coughing frantically, and then suddenly opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood sprayed in front of the table.
"Hurry up, pass on the doctor, pass the doctor!" Li Yuanden panicked, hugged Chen Yanshou, and shouted outside for help. The guards and eunuchs on duty hurriedly rushed in, busy for a while. finally helped Chen Yanshou smooth out the breath he was holding.
Li Yuan ordered people to remove all the twists and turns of the imperial case, and put Chen Yanshou's body on it to lie down. Waiting for the Taiyi's effort, he took Chen Yanshou's hand and promised in a low voice, "Gong Chen, Gong Chen, don't worry." I know, I know you're dedicated to me. There will be a way, and I will find a way. Jiancheng and the people of the world have always called you Uncle Chen, and they have always regarded you as their own parents. Your hard work, I know it in my heart! ”
A few words were incoherent, but Chen Yanshou smiled again, "Old minister, old minister" He opened his mouth, revealing his red teeth, "Old minister has caused trouble to Your Majesty." ”
"No trouble!" Li Yuan shook his head lightly, "You have planned for me for half your life, and I should repay you!" ”
"Your Majesty treats the old minister like a mountain!" Chen Yanshou smiled weakly, his eyes full of nostalgia for the world. "Therefore, the old minister should repay him with a national soldier. Therefore, Lao Chen would rather be a wicked person before he dies. ”
"You're not going to die. I won't let you die. Li Yuan grabbed Chen Yanshou's hand, lest as soon as he let go, the other party would close his eyes. The Doctor, the Doctor. Why hasn't the damn doctor come yet? I can't save Chen Gong, I have demolished your hospital! ”
"Your Majesty, don't bother!" Chen Yanshou smiled softly, very satisfied with Li Yuan's anxiety. "The old minister heard that if the branches of the tree are too strong, they threaten the trunk. A craftsman who has a means will cut off some of the branches of the tree in order to weaken its vitality, Your Majesty, Your Majesty if..."
Speaking of this, he tilted his head to the side and said a long speech.
