Chapter 360: The Battle Before the War (2)
Different from Li Shimin's complacency, Li Jiancheng was a little puzzled by the arrangement with Li Yuan this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It stands to reason that Wang Xuan should come to surrender, and Li Yuan should recall himself and Li Shimin back to Chang'an together. In order to relieve the doubts in his heart, Li Jiancheng brought Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng and other three people to express the doubts in their hearts. Wei Zheng pinched his beard and said:
"Your Highness! The minister secretly thought about the holy will, and the holy lord should be secretly supporting His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”
"Oh! Tell us what you think. Wei Zheng elaborated:
"Your Highness! Since my dynasty Dingdingguanzhong, His Royal Highness from the prince of Tang Dynasty, to the crown prince, our dynasty has experienced a number of crises, and His Royal Highness the prince has helped the Holy Lord to deal with the head of the way. Nanping Xiao Milling, His Royal Highness advocated that Li Ying serve as the head of the marching road, and Jingzhou Shiping, His Royal Highness's name of knowing people has been passed to the court and the opposition, the name of the virtuous has been determined, Guanzhong salt shortage, His Royal Highness the Prince led the whole family to eat green salt, the heart of the people has appeared, Taishang Laojun accepted His Royal Highness as an apprentice, turned green salt into snow salt, brown sugar into snow sugar, and the prince has a fairy name among the people. If I don't support King Qin as my Tang Dynasty military god, I am afraid that in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will replace the Holy Lord and become the lord of a country. As an emperor, this is a balancing technique of emperors since ancient times. ”
"That's what Xuan Chengqing ......means," Wei Zheng waved his hand to Li Jiancheng and said:
"Your Highness, don't worry. Although His Majesty balances His Highness with the art of balance, His Highness has always shown loyalty, filial piety and kindness. As long as you keep your heart, the crown prince will be worry-free for the time being. Also, His Royal Highness the Holy General stayed in Taiyuan, but also because His Royal Highness the King of Qi is still shallow, and Liu Wuzhou's actions in the Turks have become a climate, if Liu Wuzhou raises troops, with the ability of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I am afraid that the strength will not be slack, and His Royal Highness is sitting here, which makes the people of Mayi in Hedong settled, which is a deterrent to Liu Wuzhou, thus making Luoyang isolated, and indirectly supporting the King of Qin......" Wei Zheng saw that Li Jiancheng's face was still a little gloomy. Feeling that his words might not have hit the point, he didn't go any further, so Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui asked Li Jiancheng:
"What else is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried about?" Li Jiancheng felt that Wei Zheng's words were too optimistic, in the history books of the previous life, Li Jiancheng was too conceited, on the day after Princess Pingyang was buried, Li Shimin falsely passed on Li Yuan's holy decree - saying that Li Yuan summoned Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to enter the palace to face the saint, and set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, and after the second concubine Zhang Yin in the palace got the news in advance, she issued a warning to Li Jiancheng in advance, and Li Yuanji also hoped that Li Jiancheng would not go, or bring more guards, but it was because of Li Jiancheng's optimism and conceit that Li Shimin finally won in front of Xuanwu Gate. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng explained to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng:
"The three Qing families are not without a brother's mind in this palace, but they are actually alone as the prince and the elder brother, and they dare not stand idly by and watch their brother's affairs." (Originally, Li Jiancheng wanted to say that as the crown prince, he could only work hard to make meritorious contributions, and he must not give his other brothers a chance to breathe, but just when the words were about to be spoken, Li Jiancheng changed his mind again, if he swept the face of Wei Zheng and others, it would not be conducive to the unity of the monarch and ministers in the future, and Li Jiancheng believed that Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui must have other meanings in it.) Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other with Wei Zheng. Fang Xuanling spoke first:
"Your Royal Highness, please forgive the ministers and others for speaking bluntly......" Li Jiancheng saw the expressions of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, and knew that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng must have something to hide, so he cast a look of approval on Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng:
"The three of them are okay!" Du Ruhui then spoke:
"Your Royal Highness, the three of us think that it is better not to meddle in this matter, because now, the reputation and prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be said in this way, even if it is a saint, it may not be compared, so the Holy One has done everything possible to support His Royal Highness the King of Qin, on the one hand, I hope to curb the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince, on the other hand, as a father, if there is only one excellent son, and the other sons are relatively mediocre, and if His Royal Highness forcibly intervenes in this matter, I am afraid that there will be ...... in His Majesty's heart" Du Ruhui said, While secretly looking at Li Jiancheng's face, Li Jiancheng slowly understood the meaning of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng. It turned out that it was not that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng were too optimistic, but that Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng had already sensed the secret in Li Yuan's heart. Li Jiancheng slowly walked in front of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, and bowed respectfully. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng were immediately shocked when they saw Li Jiancheng bowing to them:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" Li Jiancheng stopped Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng from moving.
"Xuan Cheng, Xuan Ling, Ru Hui, the three of you are planning for this palace, just now, this palace even doubted whether you were a little optimistic, and this palace spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." In Li Jiancheng's apology, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng once again felt Li Jiancheng's mind.
Chang'an - Dou Luda recalled the scene in Luoyang in the place where he was under house arrest - Luoyang, came to the Sheng Inn, Dou Luda came to the door of this inn, and a shrewd shopkeeper came to Dou Luda:
"Yo! Guest, you're here. Dou Luda habitually gave the shopkeeper two taels of copper coins:
"Have the guests arrived?" The shopkeeper immediately put the copper coin in his arms and said softly to Douluda:
"When I arrived, I was in the backyard room. Guest, hurry up! That guest has been waiting for you for a long time. Douluda nodded, walked directly to the backyard, and after entering the backyard upper room, he saw a person wearing a blue cloak, but it could be seen from the figure that the person was a woman with a graceful figure.
"Xiaoya! I'm coming. The woman turned and looked at Douluda with teary eyes:
"Luda, you're here."
"Xiaoya! My Xiaoya! Dou Luda and the woman named Xiaoya hugged together, and then, the woman was hugged by Dou Luda and walked to the bed in the room, after a while, the room came out of the man's wheezing and the woman's moaning, after a while, Dou Luda hugged the woman named Xiaoya on the bed and chatted:
"Xiaoya! Are you okay in the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince during this time? The woman held by Dou Luda is called Sun Xiaoya, who is the East Palace show girl of Wang Xuanying, the prince of Wang Shichong of the Dazheng Court of Luoyang, and was originally a well-known beauty in Luoyang City. Wang Xuanying was also pampered for a few days after getting Sun Xiaoya, but as the crown prince, the East Palace is a place with beautiful women, and slowly Wang Xuanying got tired of Sun Xiaoya, and began to get close to other beauties, and Sun Xiaoya was only sixteen years old at the time, and it was still in the prime of life, how could it be possible to keep the festival for life for a prodigal prince? In addition, in Wang Xuanying's East Palace, there are not a few palace maids who have fornicated with the guards, and Sun Xiaoya will naturally be affected. However, Sun Xiaoya's heart doesn't want to give his body to those Qiu Ba who don't know, Sun Xiaoya's heart likes the kind of people who have some literati colors, and although Dou Luda shows a person from a small family, he has also spent some poetry books, and he can also memorize two sentences of ancient poetry in the past, and he got acquainted with Sun Xiaoya when he went to Wang Xuanying's East Palace a few times, and slowly, Sun Xiaoya also had a good impression of Dou Luda, and Dou Luda has been since Yang Guang was in the Luoyang beauty pageant and Wang Shichong swept Luoyang, The young women in Luoyang were either plundered to Jiangdu by Yang Guang, or forcibly transferred to the palace by Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanqiong and other fathers and sons, and became palace maids and concubines. Xiang Dou Luda is twenty-five years old and has not yet married, but it makes the business in the area of Luoyang Qinglou not bad, but it is a little bad, it costs a lot of money to go to Qinglou, and Dou Luda's fortune will not last long. And Sun Xiaoya's appearance is like dry wood encountering fire, and Douluda and Sun Xiaoya often meet at the Laisheng Inn.
"Hey! What else? Recently, Wang Xuanying was upset, and let our sisters drink with him all day long, dance, and do some embarrassing things, hey! I've had enough of this drunken life. Sun Xiaoya said in Douluda's arms, and Douluda gently comforted Sun Xiaoya. At this moment, there was a knock at the door:
"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”
"Who!" Douluda asked impatiently:
"Guest, it's me!" Dou Luda could hear that it was the voice of the shopkeeper.
"What's the matter?"
"Guest! I'm here to bring you bath water. ”
"Oh! It's the shop little two. ”
"It's annoying! I haven't had enough? ”
"Baby! Now that I'm sweating all over, let's take a shower first! When the time comes, we will take a mandarin duck bath. You'll have to serve me well. ”
"Dead ghosts!" Sun Xiaoya nodded on Douluda's forehead. Then put on a simple dress and walked to the door:
"It's coming. Right away! When Sun Xiaoya opened the door, Dou Luda only heard Sun Xiaoya scream:
"Xiaoya! Something happened. ”
"Lord Douluda, you're so interested!" When Douluda saw the arrival, he was frightened and immediately rolled off the bed naked:
"Ahh His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... "The person who came to Dou Luda was none other than Wang Xuanying, the crown prince of the Luoyang Dazheng Imperial Court, and Wang Xuanying's guards were holding a sword against Sun Xiaoya's neck, Sun Xiaoya's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't dare to speak out in horror. Wang Xuanying found a chair in the room and sat down, and asked the guard to make a pot of tea to drink while looking at the pair of men and women kneeling in front of him.
"What? Isn't there anything to say to Hongu? ”
"Your Highness! The villain is confused for a while, please spare your life! Sun Xiaoya also knelt in front of Wang Xuanying:
"Please spare your life!" Wang Xuanying lifted Sun Xiaoya's chin.
"Hmmm! It's so moving, it's really pitiful! Dou Luda, you should know what the crime of fornicating with the Donggong Show Girl is, right? Although Sun Xiaoya has been snubbed by Wang Xuanying, the identity of the East Palace Show Girl has not been lifted, in other words, Sun Xiaoya is still Wang Xuanying's concubine. And fornicating with the show girl of the East Palace, according to Da Zheng's law, is the crime of Ling Chi. Douluda lowered his head and did not speak.
"Do you really like Sun Xiaoya? If you really like it, this palace wants to fulfill the two of you. As soon as Sun Xiaoya heard Wang Xuanying say this, it was like a person who had fallen into the water, suddenly grabbed a straw, and immediately kowtowed desperately to thank Wang Xuanying:
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" and secretly pulled Douluda:
"Luda! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gracious! We can be together in the right way. When Dou Luda heard Wang Xuanying say this, his mind immediately became active:
"His Royal Highness the Prince! What do you want me to do? Just say it! ”
