Chapter Ninety-Six: Luo Yan Sees His Eldest Grandson Late at Night
After the visitors left, Luo Yan also turned around and returned to the Qin Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Luo Yan must meet with Li Shimin to make this matter clear, not to show his heart, but to remind Li Shimin that in the next period of time, the younger generation of staff should watch more closely. Otherwise, if you are bribed and leak the news when you are doing something big, it will be fatal.
Li Shimin was also very surprised that Luo Yan came to him so late, Luo Yan's laziness, Li Shimin definitely understood it. Other staff members are looking for all kinds of opportunities to chat with him, but Luo Yan, unless he is looking for him himself, or when the staff is meeting, he has never taken the initiative to find himself.
"Come in, it's so late, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.
"Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's people looked for me. A gift list, a lot of money, a lot of books. Both of these happen to be my favorites. Luo Yan said expressionlessly: "Then, I refused." ”
Li Shimin was just about to hold Luo Yan's hand to express his emotion, but he was choked to death by Luo Yan's next words.
"I didn't come to be faithful, but when I refused, someone came to threaten my life. I hope Your Highness can lend me a few people these days to protect me and my teacher. At the same time, the staff of the other younger generation are also assigned to the guards, and if there is a shortage of manpower, they can also be gathered and properly placed. ”
Luo Yan is not worried about his own safety, but Lu Deming's family is not easy to say. Li Jiancheng's moral bottom line Luo Yan is more convinced, but as soon as Li Yuanji is mixed in here, Luo Yan is a little uncertain.
"There's no problem with this, you go back first, and I'll send a team of guards to the Lu Mansion tonight to protect Dr. Lu's safety." Li Shimin was still very happy when he saw that Luo Yan did not agree to Li Jiancheng's wooing in the end.
The loyalty of Wei Chigong's generals was obtained from Li Shimin being born and dying with them, so Li Shimin really regarded those people as his arms. And Luo Yan has basically not received any benefits from Li Shimin since he came to the Qin Palace. On the contrary, it was a lot of things from Luo Yan that benefited Li Shimin.
This time, seeing that Luo Yan did not complain, but refused Li Jiancheng's heavy gift, which made Li Shimin feel a little guilty.
Without any more, Luo Yan directly bid farewell to Li Shimin and returned to Lu Mansion.
After finding Lu Deming and telling Lu Deming what happened today, Luo Yan asked Lu Deming: "Teacher, tonight, I will keep vigil with the guards from the palace, although it is just a threat, but it cannot be taken lightly." ”
Lu Deming originally wanted to let Luo Yan live in the backyard together, but now that he heard Luo Yan say this, he muttered for a long time before agreeing. It's just that when Lu Deming walked out of the door, he looked at Luo Yan deeply and said, "You must live well." ”
Lu Deming's implication is that if he really encounters an assassin, he really can't do it, even if he turns his back on Li Shimin, he must save his life. Luo Yan naturally understood Lu Deming's words, but he had no choice but to nod silently.
That night, the guards of the Qin Palace's mansion came, and of course, they also brought an extra armor and blade.
This is what Luo Yan asked Li Shimin. Armor and blades are controlled items, and Luo Yan can't buy them casually, so he can only ask Li Shimin for them.
Putting on the armor and picking up the horizontal sword, Luo Yan was no different from ordinary guards at this time, and began to stand guard together in the surprised eyes of this pair of guards.
Obviously, Luo Yan was overly worried. Presumably, a pawn like Luo Yan is not worthy of Li Jiancheng to use an assassin to deal with him, and he kept watch all night, and he didn't even see the hair of an assassin.
During the day of the next day, Li Shimin took advantage of the urgency of the situation, gathered all the young staff under his command and sent guards to guard them. One of the reasons is that Luo Yan was threatened yesterday.
In fact, guarding security, another meaning is to focus on care. Regardless of whether he has contact with Li Jiancheng or not, he can only obediently accept Li Shimin's arrangement at this time.
Li Jiancheng saw that the way to buy was to win over Li Shimin's subordinates, so there was no way, so he had to come hard.
The first to suffer were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. These two have always been regarded by Li Jiancheng as Li Shimin's most powerful brains, as long as these two people leave Li Shimin's side, Li Shimin will become a tiger with his brain cut off, no matter how arrogant he is, he has to be subdued by them.
Now the concubines of the harem that Li Jiancheng bought are of great use.
Li Yuan is good at everything, but he can't stand the wind on the pillow. was blown by a few concubines, and immediately drove Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui out of Chang'an City.
It's definitely blowing up a hornet's nest now.
Originally, Li Shimin was still tightly around him because of the people under him, even if he was momentarily frustrated, he didn't have the idea of fighting to the death with Li Jiancheng. Now that he is driving away from Fang Du, plus the few generals who were taken away before, if he continues like this, his left and right arms will all be cut off, and even if he wants to resist at that time, he will not have that team.
In addition, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui kept persuading Li Shimin before leaving, and finally made that decision.
originally thought that after Fang Du and the two were expelled, this matter would ease down for a while, so Li Shimin just made a decision to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but when to do it, in fact, Li Shimin was still a little hesitant.
This kind of thing, after doing it, will be infamous through the ages, and Li Shimin has been weighing the pros and cons these days. Is it worth it?
Who knows, there is really not much time left for Li Shimin.
On the first day of June, the star appears in the south of the sky in broad daylight. This is astrologically said to change the rhythm of the sky, and it just so happens that at this moment the Turks are amassing troops outside the pass. The DPRK and China were clamoring for the Turks to invade again, and Li Yuan was also anxious.
There are celestial phenomena to instruct, this Turkic invasion will definitely not be simple, so the crown prince Li Jiancheng suggested that Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, lead Li Yi, the general of the right military guard, Zhang Jin, the general of Tianji, and others to rescue Wucheng. Li Yuanji took the opportunity to ask Wei Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, and Qin Qiong, the third commander of the right army of the Qin Wangfu, to go with him to review and select the elite soldiers under the Qin Wang's account to strengthen the strength of his army.
The few people Li Yuanji wanted were definitely the core of Li Shimin's generals. If you just want to go with these generals, that's it. It is also necessary to pick out Li Shimin's elite soldiers.
There are thousands of Xuanjia cavalry, and they are all friendships with Li Shimin, and they are absolutely heartfelt to Li Shimin. Although it is stationed outside Chang'an City, there is a Xuanjia Army, and Li Shimin in Chang'an is safe. If Li Yuanji went to the Xuanjia Army to select soldiers, it would be clear that he would remove Li Shimin's dependence.
How could Li Shimin not think of this section. But now he still hasn't made a good decision.
Although the throne is particularly attractive, Li Shimin does not want to bear the infamy of killing his brother. That's where the whole thing is paradoxical. As the most important figure, Li Shimin is missing Fang Du and the two, so he is a little indecisive at this time.
There was no way, Luo Yan did the most active thing after joining Li Shimin's camp, and went to find the eldest grandson Wuji. At this time, Li Shimin's side was only able to listen to the eldest grandson Wuji, and what others said was in vain. didn't care about the lack of friendship with the eldest grandson Wuji, Luo Yan found the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion that night.
When Luo Yan went, the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were discussing the current countermeasures. For Li Shimin's indecisiveness at this moment, the uncle and nephew are also at a loss.
Hearing Luo Yan's request to see, the eldest grandson Wuji was surprised. As the most respected staff of the younger generation under Li Shimin, Luo Yan basically never took the initiative to associate with these people under Li Shimin. Moreover, whenever there is a big event, Luo Yan will come up with some seemingly funny ideas.
But the eldest grandson Wuji didn't take Luo Yan lightly at all. is not only because his brother-in-law has always maintained a high degree of attention to Luo Yan, but in retrospect, Luo Yan's idea every time seems funny, but in hindsight, it is very clever.
So when he heard that his subordinates were passing, he directly asked him to bring people in.
Gao Shilian on the side smiled and said, "What, are you interested in this young offspring?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji asked with some seriousness: "Uncle, you are a person who has participated in Luo Yan's apprenticeship ceremony, I don't know what you think of this person?" ”
After thinking for a while, Gao Shilian said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "I can't see through it. ”
Such an evaluation made the eldest grandson Wuji surprised for a while, you must know that your uncle is not an ordinary person, he has experienced the ups and downs of the world, and his vision of seeing people is also super accurate. Now he actually said that he couldn't see through a little descendant. Can you not surprise the eldest grandson Wuji?
didn't wait for the eldest grandson Wuji to say anything, as if he wanted him to be familiar with some things before Luo Yan arrived, Gao Shilian continued: "Don't look at his articles in front of people, but in just a few years, has he participated in less important things?" On the battlefield in Shandong, his Tiao Chen saved many people's lives, a song in front of Mingde Gate made the 12th Army remember his name, and he was willing to be a guard of honor at the funeral of Princess Zhao of Pingyang. Although he has never been on the battlefield, his reputation in the army is higher than yours. Speaking of the literary world, his teacher is the leader of the Jiangnan literary world, and he is also friendly with Kong Yingda, even Yu Shinan is full of praise for him, as soon as "The Book of Rights" comes out, even you and I can read a few words casually now, the younger generation, no one can compete with it. On the official career, don't you see that he has studied hard in the mountains for three years, but after three years of hope, can he only be a pen official in the palace when he comes out? ”
Gao Shilian's words, the eldest grandson Wuji's back was wet. I don't know if I don't summarize this, I was shocked when I summarized it, and inadvertently, this Luo Yan, who is considered to be a staff member of the younger generation, was actually covered by those of them who had followed Li Shimin for a long time in the Qin Palace, otherwise, the status of others today would not be lower than their own.
