Chapter 096: The Promise of the Monarch and the Minister

Yang Gao held Wang Shichong's handle, so he was relieved to hand over the military power to Wang Shichong, outsiders did not know the truth, and only thought that the Northern Sui monarchs and ministers were harmonious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the relationship between Yang Gao and Wang Shichong, the relationship between Li Xuanba and Yang Tong is much simpler.

Yang Tong's unreserved trust in Li Xuanba, in addition to Li Xuanba's support, there is another reason, that is, Li Xuanba's honesty in front of him.

For example, the matter of the hidden guard, even the eldest grandson Wuji was not aware of it, and if Li Xuanba wanted to hide it, Yang Tong would not know about it at all. For another example, Li Xuanba suspected that he was trapped in Guan County back then, and the eldest grandson Wuji probably expected it a long time ago, but for some reason, he deliberately let the rescue army appear later. Yang Tong remembered that Li Xuanba had said this, so he guessed like that.

"Compared with Weichen, Brother Wuji is much more rational." Li Xuanba neither admitted nor denied it, he was silent for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Wechen doesn't know what Brother Wuji will do, but Weichen can be sure that Brother Wuji will definitely not do nothing." ”

Li Xuanba's words were a little tongue-twisting, but Yang Tong had long been used to it, and it didn't sound like it was too difficult. He heard Li Xuanba indirectly admit that it was intentional, and he was puzzled: "Brother Dade, if I remember correctly, you once said that before the southern stability was settled, you would not get involved in the affairs between the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Sui, but now why did you suddenly make such an arrangement?" ”

"At the end of Shen Faxing's strong crossbow, Lin Shihong worked hard to support it, and he must not have lasted long. Weichen thought that the situation in the south was under the control of the imperial court, and the imperial court would no longer have any worries. Li Xuanba replied: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, Weichen really doesn't want to pay attention to Luoyang's affairs, but the premise is that we and Datang don't offend the river." ”

The Tang Dynasty took Xu Shiji to lead the army to pacify the land of Qilu, and the garrisons of Dongjun and Jiyin were empty, allowing Li Shimin to lead the troops to raid, which undoubtedly touched Li Xuanba's bottom line and made him very angry.

In addition to anger, Li Xuanba also has an emotion: disappointment.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both knew that Xu Shiji had surrendered to the imperial court, and Li Yuan could not have been unaware, so when Li Xuanba learned that the Tang army had captured Dongjun and Jiyin County, he only sent an order for Xu Shiji and Dou Jiande to guard Dongping County to prevent the Tang army from continuing to advance westward. Li Xuanba was waiting for Datang to give him an explanation, and waited until he lost his patience.

"Maybe Tang Guogong really doesn't know." Yang Tong understood that Li Xuanba must be unhappy in his heart, and comforted: "After all, the matter of Xia Guogong and General Xu's surrender is too involved, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will not necessarily tell Tang Guogong before they confirm." ”

The situation that Yang Tong said seemed to be possible, but in fact this possibility was very small, because Li Jiancheng's withdrawal from Jiangling needed a reasonable explanation, and it was impossible for him to hide it.

Li Xuanba smiled reluctantly, thanking Yang Tong for his kindness: "There will always be a day of war between Nan Sui and the Tang Dynasty, and sooner or later Weichen and his father will meet each other, as for whether he really knows the identity of Xia Guogong and them, what is the difference?" ”

If there really is no difference, why bother frowning? Yang Tong sighed silently in his heart.

"Now that Wang Shichong is in charge of Luoyang City, Brother Dade, what are you going to do?" Yang Tong didn't want Li Xuanba to be sad, so he opened the topic and said: "After all, he is my imperial uncle, and he is the blood of the imperial grandfather, I feel that if I dare not let him come to Jiangdu because of his identity, I am not worthy of sitting on the dragon chair." ”

No matter how beneficious Yang Gao is, Li Xuanba is actually not afraid of him, but after the world is stable, Li Xuanba will leave to do something else after all, and at that time, Yang Gao, with his own identity, is entirely possible to replace Yang Tong.

"That's it, it's just one of Ling'er's wishes." Li Xuanba pondered for a long time, he thought of Yang Guang's voice and smile, thought of the pain in Empress Xiao's eyes when she asked herself to ignore Yang Gao, and also thought of the tears when Yang Ling snuggled in his arms: "Please also ask Your Majesty to send a messenger to Luoyang and try your best to bring King Zhao to Jiangdu." ”

As Yang Tong said, if he didn't dare to let him come to Jiangdu because of Yang Gao's identity, it could only mean that Yang Dong's throne was unstable, even if Yang Gao died, would Li Xuanba be able to leave with peace of mind?

When Yang Tong heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I have already planned to do this. ”

"Ling'er often enters the palace, so she must have bothered Your Majesty, right?" Li Xuanba also smiled and said, "I don't know how happy Ling'er should be when she hears this news." ”

Yang Ling was Yang Dong's aunt after all, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to make fun of Yang Ling, so he raised his eyebrows and let Li Xuanba understand what he meant.

"Actually, we were a little too happy for Ling'er." Li Xuanba's old face turned red, coughed lightly, and said: "The Tang Dynasty besieged Luoyang City, and King Zhao retained his reputation by using the golden cicada to get out of his shell, and it is still unknown whether he is willing to send someone under the fence." But if he refuses to come, we will have to go with him. ”

"Uncle Huang is smart and good at forbearance, why wouldn't he come?" Yang Tong remembered those days in Luoyang, shook his head, and said: "I have done my best, even if he really refuses to come, I am worthy of my heart!" ”

After a few years of getting along, Li Xuanba and Yang Tong can be said to be like brothers and sisters, and Li Xuanba's sense of imperial power is not strong, so although Li Xuanba calls Yang Tong His Majesty, there is no taboo in his words.

"No longer worried about this matter, Weichen suddenly felt much more relaxed." Li Xuanba moved his muscles, walked a few steps in the imperial study, and said casually: "Your Majesty, it is said that Princess Zhao is pregnant, and you got married earlier than King Zhao, why is there no dragon vein so far?" ”

Sun Simiao personally checked that Yang Tong's body was fine, although Yang Tong was not greedy for beauty, but there were three beauties in the harem. The fact that they were able to enter the palace proved that there was nothing wrong with their bodies. So the question is, why did Yang Tong delay not having children?

"It is rumored that the king of Zhou does not allow me to have children." Yang Tong turned into that casual appearance again, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Dade cares about these rumors?" ”

"People are terrible, how dare Weichen ignore them?" Li Xuanba rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I want to know, are you worried about something?" ”

"Brother Dade and his aunt have been married for a long time, don't they have no heirs?" Yang Tong asked rhetorically.

The two of them often talk in private, sometimes joking with each other, sometimes with solemn faces, but they both know very well that no matter what the other person's expression is, it will not make each other uncomfortable.

Li Xuanba didn't expect Yang Tong to answer like that, he was stunned, and said: "The world has not yet stabilized, I still have to fight in the east and west, how can I have time to take care of the children?" ”

As the king of Zhou in Southern Sui, where does Li Xuanba need to take care of his children?

When Yang Tong heard this, he chuckled, and then said seriously: "Brother Dade, as long as I live, what you are worried about will not happen!" ”

"Your Majesty, what the queen and the two concubines are worried about, Weichen will definitely not do." Li Xuanba replied equally seriously.
