In the tent of Marshal Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty's rehabilitated army, warm tea was bubbling with hot air, accompanied by a faint fragrance, Li Ji sat on the top position, looking at the Wei Yan who was sitting below, with a strange expression. And someone sitting below, his face was full of shame, his face was red, even the tips of his ears were red, he lowered his head, and said nothing.

“…… Should you say lucky or unlucky? Old Man Li Ji sighed and glanced at Wei Yan very strangely. Wei Yan was very conscious and took the initiative to say: "Overall, I am still lucky, the ending is slightly flawed, and it belongs to the tolerable range." ”

When the old man heard this, he showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "It seems that I have come to a conclusion, and I can see it quite openly, not bad, not bad." ”

Wei Yan seemed to smile shyly, this smile made Li Ji unable to hold back any longer, haha laughed, the laughter was full of anger, I was afraid that everyone outside the camp would hear it. Wei Yan can only rub his nose widely, well, he is laughed at again, for now, only a word of habit can comfort himself. Yes, the current situation is that after Wei Yan returned to the camp with Li Ji, Li Ji was concerned about his "injured" shoulder, and Wei Yan was forced to confess in desperation, and the result of the confession was the above situation, which was very depressing.

laughed for a while, Li Ji was not a scoundrel and villain like Cheng Zhijie after all, he just stopped laughing after laughing at Wei Yan, touched his beard and sighed: "I can pick up a life from the mortal game, and in the end, I was just stung by a bug, and I can be regarded as a lucky stinky boy." Wei Yan smiled: "The little nephew thinks the same way." When I decided to bet on that land. Just one sentence in my head. Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted. Bet on your vision, bet on the right one, you will live, and losing the bet will not make the situation worse, fortunately, God willing, the bet wins. ”

Li Jidao: "It's rare that Jiang Rui is still a person who knows how to serve his family and country, so he made you bet right." escaped from Li Yuanchang's hands, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable. ”

Wei Yan nodded in agreement hurriedly, and said: "That's right, it's really dangerous to think about it afterwards, Uncle knows how much the little nephew drinks, so it's really painful to deliberately get drunk on himself, but fortunately, the little nephew I know the realm of drunkenness." Otherwise, it will be explained. ”

Li Ji nodded with a smile and said, "Listening to what you said, Jiang Rui has some ways. However, the guilt of kidnapping you is not so easy to uncover. ”

When the old man said this, he gritted his teeth a little. A few of them are old, although Wei Yan is nominally their son and nephew, but with Wei Yan's young appearance, if it weren't for their perennial battles, I'm afraid that their grandsons are older than Wei Yan. Wei Yan is sensible and sensible. Several old people were very fond of him. Even His Majesty today, if it weren't for Qin Shubao who had taken the lead, I was afraid that he would end up being a righteous son. Such a confidant boy, if he is wronged, he doesn't care about it, there will naturally be people who help him take care of it, and the loss can't be eaten in vain.

Wei Yan hurriedly said, "Uncle." I promised them. Keep me safe, and I'll keep them safe. Uncle can't let me talk without talking, right? ”

Li Jidao: "Don't worry, it won't hurt their lives, just let them suffer a little and knock and beat, otherwise, when their origin and identity are exposed, how to gain a foothold in the army!" You have to do it thoroughly, so that they will always remember your kindness, in the future, even if a few of us are gone, in the army, there must be someone who can speak to protect you little ones, so that our old ones are under the Nine Springs, and they are also blind. ”

Wei Yan's heart warmed, he bowed his head and bowed, silently expressing his gratitude, he really didn't know how to express his gratitude for the love of the elders for these juniors. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs.

Li Ji smiled slightly, patted Wei Yan's intact right shoulder, in the four mansions, there are brave children and grandchildren, there are people who know how to forbear, and there are people who know the wisdom of officialdom, but he is the only one who can be so careful as Wei Yan. As long as these small ones can unite in the future, know how to forbear, and can endure without standing out, then it will not be difficult to survive smoothly. The older generation has reached the pinnacle of power, if the younger one comes next, even if His Majesty is open-minded now, I am afraid that it is not a blessing for the family, and the tiger father and dog son are sometimes not a means of self-preservation.

Wei Yan sighed: "The ancients said that the land is good, where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings depend. I thought I had escaped, but in the end, I became the object of the Qing monarch and the Su court, what a black cauldron! Hou Junji used this excuse, but he didn't know why Li Yuanchang wanted to tie me up, it stands to reason that if it was also the Qing Jun's side and the Su court, it seems that it would be a mistake to tie me up in advance, and he should wait until he was done to arrest me, pull me out and behead me to show the public...... Ouch! ”

Wei Yan was muttering with his chin there, and before he could finish speaking, he was knocked on the head by Li Ji, and he could only hold his head innocently and look at Li Ji. Li Ji looked like he hated iron but not steel, and scolded: "Stupid! Silly boy! ”

Wei Yan met Li Ji's reproachful eyes very innocently, and bowed down very respectfully: "Please uncle, for advice, my little nephew has never figured it out." ”

Li Jidao: "Hou Junji there, needless to say, this person has always been arrogant, arrogant and self-controlled, so happy, but the time to follow His Majesty is early, Your Majesty remembered the friendship with him, and let Li Yaoshi teach him a few tricks of the art of war, otherwise, with that girl's ability, can he win the battle?" Isn't that! ”

Wei Yan nodded, now he understands why Hou Junji mentioned in the old Tang book feels a little different from Hou Junji, who has repeatedly made military exploits, and his daring is "processed" the day after tomorrow. Li Jidao: "The excuse Hou Junji made this time is a strategy, this move is equivalent to a slap in the face of His Majesty, you are the person personally promoted by His Majesty, he said this, that is, he is saying that His Majesty's vision is a problem, and the next policy is also!" However, it is a great disadvantage for you, and your reputation is over! ”

Speaking of this, Li Ji sighed, feeling sorry for Wei Yan. Wei Yan smiled and said, "It's over, it's over, I just expect An An to be a doctor and An An to be a petty official." And don't expect to soar. I also hope that Your Majesty will give me the title because of this matter, these days, it's always right to keep a low profile, anyway, there are a few uncles who support me, after that, there are very few people who can bully me, besides. Your Majesty will not leave me alone, if my reputation is damaged this time, Your Majesty is afraid that he will still talk about me. ”

Li Ji said with a smile: "You have a good plan, yes, sometimes, suffering a loss is taking advantage, you can figure this out at a young age, I'm afraid you can't bear this breath." ”

Wei Yan said: "Hou Junji, the little nephew has really never taken him seriously." This person can't become a big climate. It's Li Yuanchang, I wondered, I couldn't figure it out. Why did he tie me up? I can't figure out this question, I'm really not convinced, and I can't eat or sleep happily. ”

Li Ji frowned, and he also looked contemplative, and said: "Li Yuanchang has always been talented and famous, and he was praised by a cadre of literati as a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting, and the first emperor was there. He also loved him, and His Majesty also praised him. It's just that his mother's background is not good, and she is just a concubine in the palace of the first emperor. In that year, Empress Taimu died early, and entrusted a godchild to Concubine Wan, who was the master of the harem after the death of Empress Taimu. But. The most favored by the first emperor are the young and beautiful Concubine Yin De and Zhang Meiren, who can really speak by the side of the first emperor. It's not Wan Guifei, but Concubine Yin De and Zhang Meiren, Wan Guifei is set aside, and Zhang Yin and the others are the real talkers in the harem. ”

Wei Yan was confused, he didn't understand what these had to do with Li Yuanchang, and why Li Ji wanted to tell him. Li Ji didn't explain, but continued: "Back then, His Majesty was out on a perennial campaign, not in the palace, and the first emperor's father and son were negligent in contact with the relationship. At that time, Zhang Meiren had asked His Majesty, but was rejected by His Majesty, but Jiancheng took the opportunity to please Zhang Yin and the others, often sent gold, silver and jewelry to the two, and also gave benefits to the family of the second concubine, the second concubine accepted the benefits, so that the first emperor often said good things about the king in the ear of the emperor, said bad things about His Majesty, so that the first emperor's impression of His Majesty became worse and worse. Li Yuanchang's mother, Sun Concubine, accepted the benefits of King Xi, and back then, in the entire harem of the first emperor, except for Wan Guifei, everyone was saying bad things about His Majesty. If it weren't for the fact that Empress Changsun had always adhered to the way of her daughter-in-law and always made up for the father-son friendship between His Majesty and the first emperor, I was afraid that His Majesty's situation would have been even worse. ”

Wei Yan understood at this time, daring to love Li Yuanchangdi's mother had done things that said bad things about His Majesty Li Er behind his back, but how did Li Ji know these secrets? !

Li Ji saw Wei Yan's question, and said with a smile: "This is not a secret, the old people of the Qin Palace's mansion knew that the grievances suffered by His Majesty back then were not limited to these. Wei Yan nodded, somewhat sympathetic to His Majesty Li Er. worked hard to fight outside, although it was also for his own ambitions, but it was not only His Majesty Li Er who enjoyed the results, but it was the first emperor Li Yuan who was the emperor at that time. If you don't understand his hard work, forget it, and let others speak ill of him and slander him, everyone will be unhappy. Besides, the situation at that time, everyone didn't want to see Li Er, but I was afraid that the eldest grandson Empress in Chang'an and His Majesty Li Er's wife and concubines and children would not have a good time. And women are cautious and vicious, and even ghosts will be ashamed of themselves, especially the women in the harem, Wei Yan secretly guessed, it is estimated that in the years when His Majesty Li Er was fighting outside, his first wife, concubine, and children did not have a good time in the palace, after all, it was Zhang Yin's second concubine who was in charge of the harem at that time, and those two women did not have a good impression of His Majesty Li Er, and it would be good not to rush to wear small shoes for Empress Changsun and others, and there was no need to expect to be good to Empress Changsun, it is estimated that she suffered a lot of grievances.

As a man, his wife and children have been wronged, and if he doesn't come out, is he still a man? However, in terms of etiquette, those two women are his father's daughters-in-law, what can His Majesty Li Er do, it's not that he can't do anything, he can only endure it.

Wei Yan shook his head when he thought about it, it was terrible to be a royal person. Looking at His Majesty Li Er's attitude towards the young sons of the first emperor now, there are a lot of rewards and rewards, and they can be regarded as treating everyone equally. Looking at His Majesty Li Er's actions now, I am afraid that I will put all the resentment on the head of the first emperor, and now, when His Majesty Li Er mentioned the first emperor, he was still not very happy, and I guess I still have ideas in my heart.

Wei Yan remembered that in real history, after the death of Empress Changsun, His Majesty Taizong often missed it, so he built a platform in the palace, which was specially used to look at the Zhaoling Tomb where Empress Changsun was buried when he was missing. Seeing this, Wei Zheng said to His Majesty Taizong that he thought that His Majesty Taizong was looking at the mausoleum of the first emperor. From this, you can see how unhappy Li Shimin is with his father Li Yuan, even the courtiers can see it.

However, thinking about it this way, there are also some ideas that can peek at Li Yuanchang. Li Yuanchang's wife once said bad things about His Majesty Li Er. It is said that after His Majesty Li Er took power, Zhang Yin and his wife were not cleaned up by His Majesty Li Er, and Li Yuanchang's mother was just a small concubine, and it is estimated that she was also worried at that time, and this anxiety may have affected Li Yuanchang to a greater or lesser extent. Recalling the scene when Li Yuanchang faced His Majesty Li Er, it is estimated that when he faced His Majesty Li Er, he was empty in his heart, behaved cautiously, and did not dare to make mistakes. However, since he was afraid of His Majesty Li Er, why did he dare to approach His Majesty Li Er's children, think about it carefully, the people who are good friends with Li Yuanchang seem to be the queen's sisters-in-law, Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er have three sons, Cheng Qian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, and Cheng Qian and Li Zhi who are good friends with Li Yuanchang, and they are all once involved in the two, is this a coincidence or something else?

Thinking of what Jiang Rui once said, people sometimes go crazy because of fear, and make some behaviors and decisions that they would never usually do, and think of Li Yuanchang's recent reprimand, which seems to have been reprimanded several times by His Majesty Li Er. In connection with psychology, Li Yuanchang's childhood experience made him extremely afraid of His Majesty Li Er, and it was not unreasonable to be so frequently reprimanded by His Majesty Li Er that he was reminded of the shadow in his heart, so he went crazy and prepared to rebel. However, what does this have to do with kidnapping him?!

"Ahh The more I think about it, I don't understand, the evidence is insufficient, if only I knew more, is Li Yuanchang a madman? Psychopath?! ”

Wei Yan scratched his head and worried. Li Ji said: "It's okay, things will eventually come to light one day, in today's world, no matter who rebels, they can't set off storms." After Li Yuanchang was arrested, the ending was nothing more than that, so let's find another opportunity when the time comes. ”

Wei Yan said helplessly: "I can only say it then, I just don't understand, why do you have to tie me up, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense to think about it." ”

The two talked for a while, and the military doctor came, saying that he had brought a special medicine for Wei Yan to treat insect stings. Those who march and fight all year round are drilled everywhere in the field, and small injuries such as caterpillar stings are too common, and people's military camps have plasters for treating such injuries, which are much better than the cooling oil of the guard.

Wei Yan sighed while watching the military doctor treat his wounds, who said that the ancients did not have good medicine, but they disappeared in the long river of history because of the passage of time, don't underestimate the ancients!
