The news that the graves of Li Yuan's father, grandfather and relatives who had not yet come out of Wufu were dug up reached Taiyuan, and Li Jiancheng and the other four brothers gritted their teeth, especially Li Yuanba's reaction was the most intense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Father, then Sui Ting digs my family's ancestral grave, why don't I order all the soldiers and horses now, kill Chang'an now, and also dig the ancestral grave of the Yang family, so that their ancestors will also be violently corpsed in the wild, and let wild dogs and birds peck at me, I will not only pee on their bones, but I also want to pull on their graves, so that they will also be stinking in the underworld for 10,000 years." Li Shimin said to Li Yuan:
"Father, it's the other way around! Such a court, such an unfair treatment, we can't wait any longer, please ask my father to give an order! ”
Li Jiancheng also persuaded his father: "Father, now that we have all the soldiers and horses, it is better to use the traitorous ministers around the prison country to order all the soldiers and horses to kill in Chang'an, and I will immediately send someone to send a letter to Xiuning and Chai Jie, and ask them to escort their mother to Taiyuan." Father, please make up your mind. Li Yuan didn't respond a word, and left directly with a depressed expression, Li Yuanba asked Li Shimin curiously:
"Second brother, what do you mean by father!" Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"Third brother, I don't know my father's thoughts." Li Jiancheng stayed by Li Yuan's side for a longer time than the other three brothers, he has already figured out Li Yuan's temper, he is a pretending to be deep, used to letting others speculate on his thoughts, this is a good saying, what is not good is indecision, this is the case when Taiyuan raised troops, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's dispute between the crown prince, if Li Yuan can be straightforward, directly force Li Shimin to give up his ambitions or abolish Li Jiancheng, and make Li Shimin the prince, he will not suffer the pain of losing his son and grandson in his old age, And after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was imprisoned in the Taiji Palace alone, and when he was in Zhenguan for three years, Li Shimin did even more excessively, forcing his father to move out of the Taiji Palace and into the palace when he was the king of Qin. also exiled Pei Lian, the object of Li Yuan's confiding in his later years, and I have to say that the tragedy of his later years was caused by his own personality. No, I have to act early. When he returned to his bedroom that night, Li Jiancheng called Ma Sanbao:
"Brother Sambo! I asked you to inquire about the situation in the Guanzhong area, how are you doing now? ”
"Qi Yu Gongzi, the small one used the money given to me by Gongzi and the connections of Lord Chai to recruit people, and has found out that there are now three relatively large bandit forces in Guanzhong, namely Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shouzhi, Qiu Shili and others, each of them has thousands of armed people, but because Guanzhong is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the government encircles and suppresses them very strictly, so it is a group of rabble, it is difficult to become a climate, and it is really possible to threaten Guanzhong is Hu Shang He Panren in the northwest Yan'an area, he is a Hu merchant from the Western Regions, He often corresponded with the border guards, and sometimes did some looting of merchants in the Western Regions under their protection, and there were a group of bandits under him, who had great influence in Yan'an. ”
"Hmmm! You're doing a great job! But I came to you today for a more important matter, now the relationship between us and the imperial court is like a pile of dry wood that is burning, and it will only burn more and more in the future, you will work hard to run to Chang'an, and find a way to take my mother, sister, and brother-in-law back to Taiyuan. ”
"Childe, please rest assured, the villain will definitely complete the task." Ma Sanbao immediately disappeared into the night after receiving the order. Two days later, late at night, a man in black appeared in Li Yuan's official residence in Chang'an. And in front of him stood Mrs. Dou and Chai Jie, husband and wife:
"What? Sanbao, you said that they were going to rebel, and they were afraid that the Sui court would take us hostage at that time, and hoped that the three of us would leave Chang'an as soon as possible and return to Taiyuan to reunite with them. ”
"Yes! Old lady! Please pack your things and come with me! Chai Jie and Li Xiuning were also on the side to persuade them.
"Mother! Come with us! I'm going to pack my things. ”
"Yes! Mother-in-law, let's go! It's dangerous here. Mrs. Dou thought about Ma Sanbao and asked:
"What do you mean?" Li Jiancheng didn't tell Ma Sanbao how to answer this question, and stood there in a daze for a while, not knowing how to deal with it, Mrs. Dou seemed to know something.
"Go pack your things first, and look for me in my bedroom when the time comes." Chai Jie and Li Xiuning hurriedly went to pack up their soft clothes, in order to make it easier to walk on the road, they changed into ordinary people's clothes, and only brought a little loose silver, and after they packed up, they came to Ma Sanbao:
"Uncle, Miss, why hasn't the old lady come yet!"
"Oh! My mother is older, it may take longer, so I'll call her. Li Xiuning came to Mrs. Dou's bedroom door, knocked lightly, the door was not locked, Li Xiuning slowly pushed the door open, Li Xiuning screamed in horror:
"Mother, mother, mother." Her shout alarmed Chai Jie and Ma Sanbao, they ran to take a look, and they were also startled, only to see Mrs. Dou hanging on the beam of her house, her eyes serene, Chai Jie and the others put her down, probed the tip of her nose with their hands, and shook their heads at Li Xiuning:
"Mother." Chai Jie hurriedly covered Li Xiuning's mouth.
"Xiuning, now is not the time for us to be sad, understand?" Ma Sanbao saw a piece of paper on the table and showed it to Xiuning and his wife, which read:
'Shu Defu Jun Mingjian, the concubine married her husband, the husband has a deep love for the concubine, loves her very much, and the concubine also gave birth to four sons and a daughter for the husband, and it is also the right friendship of the husband, and the right is the ancestors of the Li family. Now the Li family is in trouble, the concubine is the wife of the Li family, the prosperity of the Li family should be the most important, do not involve the love of the children, the concubine will be in the underworld to bless the safety of the husband, and the children are fine. The concubine Dou is unique. After reading the letter written by Mrs. Dou herself, Li Xiuning's tears fell like beads with broken threads, Chai Jie looked distressed, took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning stopped Chai Jie's hand:
"Xianggong! I decided, I want to develop my power in Guanzhong with Ma Sanbao, and help my father and brother take Guanzhong as soon as possible, so as to be honest with the royal industry. ”
"Lady, I'll stay too."
"Nope! Husband, my eldest brother needs you even more, I hope you will help my eldest brother more. Looking at Li Xiuning's sincere gaze, Chai Jie nodded.
