Chapter 241: Clever Trick Xu Maogong
Hearing that the emperor was rescued in a dream, the ministers' tightened hearts suddenly relaxed, and they only heard that people in the court kept letting out a sigh of relief to express their nervousness.
I only heard Li Shimin continue to talk about the dream: "At this time, I was very happy, and I hurriedly asked Brother Xiaowang what his surname was, where he lived, and whether he would like to return to the camp with me, so that he could be crowned the king and pay homage." But the little hero did not leave his name, and rode on the horse quickly, only to see a green dragon in the sea, the green dragon opened the dragon's mouth, and the little general in white clothes jumped in with a man and a horse, and read a poem when he left, and the widow still remembers it deeply. Li Shimin said this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I only heard Xu Maogong ask: "I don't know what poems the little general in white left behind?" ”
Li Shimin replied without thinking: "My home is a little red in the distance, and there is no trace of it. The price of a three-year-old child is 1,000 taels, and the protector crosses the sea to conquer the east. After the little general finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace, I felt strange, so I laughed, and woke up to realize that this was a dream, I don't know whether this dream is evil or auspicious, and I hope Aiqing will break it down. ”
I saw Xu Maogong bow his head and pinch his fingers violently, and said with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, this dream is a good omen among the evil. Let's say that the red light last night is murderous, and there will be a bloody battle, but we, the old and young generals, I am afraid that we will not be able to suppress the fierce spirit, but fortunately, the emperor has an auspicious dream at this time, and the white-robed young general must be the person sent by God to relieve the siege of my Tang Dynasty. ”
Hearing Xu Maogong's explanation, Cheng Yanjin was a little unconvinced, and said: "Brother Xu is strict, and he wants us to fight in the north for three years." Have you ever suffered a defeat, but this time it's just an ordinary riot, why can't we veterans suppress it? ”
Xu Maogong knew that Cheng Biting Jin was reckless on weekdays. The people who spoke were also bragging and not making drafts, so they didn't pay attention to it, but how could the heroes of Wagang give up, thinking that none of them were experienced in a hundred battles, how could they withstand such a belittlement by Xu Junshi, and they all stood up and explained the reason.
Xu Maogong had no choice but to explain: "Oops." The ministers don't need to be in a hurry, and listen to Mao Gong's explanation, this time there is chaos in the east. Since it is not better than sweeping the north, thinking that the east is the sea, and the overseas countries are mostly capable people who are nitpicking and painting tigers and sprinkling beans into soldiers, and we are old and young generals. Dare to ask which one will do this spell. Fortunately, the emperor made an auspicious dream, but God helped me to the Tang Dynasty, if this dream Xianchen is found, he will definitely be able to calm the rebellion of the East China Sea. ”
Xu Maogong's words made Li Shimin's eyes light up, but he asked puzzledly: "Aiqing, this god only appeared in a dream, and he was not told who his surname was and where he lived. The world is so big, how can you find him? ”
The emperor's words made Xu Maogong smile. He said confidently: "Your Majesty, this person has told us what his surname is and where he lives. ”
When the courtiers heard Xu Maogong say this, they all discussed it below, only to hear the emperor say: "How can Aiqing see it?" ”
I only heard Xu Maogong say: "Your Majesty, the four lines of poetry left by the white-robed young general when he left are self-reported to his family. ”
"Even, Aiqing might as well talk about it carefully."
"The first sentence he said, 'The house is a little red', then the sun sets and there is only a little red left, so this person must be a person from Shanxi, in the dream he went down the dragon's mouth, it is Longmen, I heard that there is a Longmen County in Jiangzhou, Shanxi, and he will find it when he goes there."
"Aiqing has a wonderful explanation, the scope of the search is narrowed down to the county seat, and I ask Aiqing to continue to say the remaining three lines of poetry."
"The second sentence is 'fluttering around without a trace', that is naturally the snow in the sky, and it disappears without a trace when it falls to the ground, so push the snow into the hundred family names, then naturally this person must be surnamed Xue."
"The third sentence is 'a three-year-old child is worth a thousand taels', thinking about how the three-year-old child is worth so much money, it must be expensive, that is, this person's surname is Xue Mingrengui."
Hearing this, the emperor shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful, Aiqing's explanation is exactly what I want." ”
Xu Maogong continued to calmly speculate on the last poetic sentence: "The fourth sentence is 'The Lord crosses the sea to conquer the east', this sentence has already stated the rebellion in the East China Sea, and the expedition to the east must cross the sea, which should be said in the dream of the virtuous minister to protect His Majesty Xià across the sea to pacify the Eastern Liao." ”
Before he could finish listening to Xu Maogong's explanation, he only heard Li Shimin stand up and said excitedly: "Aiqing's explanation is very auspicious, doesn't that widow's dream indicate that Xue Rengui is the right person to pacify Eastern Liao." ”
"That's right, the emperor is wise." Xu Maogong replied.
Only the ministers in the audience kowtowed, and they shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, God bless my Datang, God bless my Datang." ”
"That's right, God bless me Datang, even God has helped me Li Shimin, what rebellion can not be quelled, pass the order, and order Zhang Shigui to be the head of the 36th Road and the 72nd Road Pioneer, that is, he went to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province to recruit troops and buy horses, and recruited 100,000 recruits this time. Li Shimin was so happy at this time that he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he successively sealed a few generals for the expedition to the east, which can be regarded as the beginning of the preparation of the plan for the expedition to the east.
As the saying goes, the plan can't catch up with the changes, how can this Shigui be a gentleman's heart, I saw a person standing among the courtiers at this time, wearing a black gauze hat, wearing a big red robe, a gold belt around the waist, a black ugly face, a short neck and shrunken cheeks, two ears to attract the wind, there are a few dog whiskers on the side of the mouth, holding the board on the chest, a villain looks like a villain said: "Qi play Your Majesty, this Xue Rengui three words are imposed by the military advisor, can not be convinced, I heard the emperor described the appearance of Ying Mengxianchen, the minister remembered a person, and the emperor described exactly the same." ”
Xu Maogong stood aside and listened quietly, and did not step forward to refute, only heard the emperor say: "Who does Zhang Aiqing think of?" Come on. I want to see if it's my dream of being a virtuous minister. ”
"Back to the emperor, the minister's son-in-law, He Zongxian, likes to wear white on weekdays, is accustomed to using Fang Tian's halberd, has infinite strength, and is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts. Zhang Shigui said boastfully, and the old ministers sighed for a while.
"In that case, dare to ask where Aiqing's son-in-law is?" Li Shimin asked.
Zhang Shigui said: "My son-in-law is recuperating at home. ”
"Spread my will, and quickly announce He Zongxian." Li Shimin ordered.
After a while, He Zongxian came to the front of the palace, kowtowed, and said: "The little minister He Zongxian sees the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." ”
Li Shimin looked carefully, and found that He Zongxian in front of him was indeed very similar to Ying Meng's virtuous minister in his dream, he was also dressed in a white robe, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and even his every move revealed the appearance of the virtuous minister in his dream.
