"Daddy! This Wang Shichong is also too domineering, not only did he not mention our military power, but also let us go to the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of the sacrificial rites, a dignified tiger general, but he went to worship gods and ghosts. Is..... Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Pei Renji:

"Don't talk nonsense, your father has been on the battlefield all his life, and it's time to rest." Pei Xingyan was still roaring:

"Father, this is not rest, this is humiliation, he is humiliating Father. When I didn't know, he was jealous of his father's prestige in the world and the relationship between the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City and his father, so he changed his father to a civil official. ”

"Smack!" Pei Xingyan was slapped in the face.

"Okay! It's common for men to be vigorous when they're young, but once you're old enough to be a father, you'll have to worry a lot. After speaking, Pei Renji stood up and walked to the inner room, Pei Xingyan was helpless in his heart, so he had to retreat. After Pei Renji came to the inner room, the newly married step-room Zhang three years ago was breastfeeding the child in his arms, and he was about to salute when he saw her husband coming, but the child in her arms seemed to feel it, and cried loudly, Pei Renji beckoned to Zhang, and after the child in his arms finished eating, Pei Renji reported that the baby was in his arms, Pei Renji's beard seemed to be a little pierced to the baby, and the baby was a little dissatisfied, so he grabbed his beard and pulled it out:

"Ouch! This kid is really my son, he will pull out my general's beard at such a young age, and he must be a fierce general when he grows up! Zhang quickly took the baby over, coaxed the baby well, and handed it to the servant woman after the baby fell asleep, stroking Pei Renji's face:

"Sir! It hurts! Pei Renji took Zhang in his arms and said gently:

"Madame! I don't hurt! ”

Wang Shichong used despicable means to force Yang Tong to abdicate, and the news reached Chang'an, after Yang You heard the news, he was restless day and night, and often asked his aunt, Yang Yan, the second wife of Tang Wang's son, to enter the palace and tell the bitterness in his heart:

"Auntie! Did you hear the news from Luoyang? Brother Dong'er has been forced to abdicate by Wang Shichong's Hu barbarian, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed in the future, you are Li Jiancheng's wife, you told Uncle Jiancheng to say that I am willing to concede the throne to Li Yuan, just to save my life in the future. As soon as Yang Yan heard Yang You's words, she slapped Yang You angrily:

"You'er, how can you be like this, it is not easy for my Emperor Zuwen to start a business, after hardships, I have laid down my Great Sui River, and now the ancestors and ancestors have handed over my Great Sui Society to you, you should make persistent efforts, work hard, and recover my Great Sui River!" Yang You looked at his aunt aggrievedly:

"Auntie! It's not that you don't know, then Li Yuan was in the name of auxiliary government, and after capturing Chang'an, a large number of officials were replaced, and now we have nothing but one name? Didn't the emperor's grandfather leave an edict to marry you to Li Jiancheng just to let you preserve the flesh and blood of our Yang family? For example, today we have always been scolded for our Yang family, and the great achievements of the emperor's grandfather have all become his crimes. What do you want me to do? In Yang You's reproach, Yang Yan calmed down:

"Is there really nothing you can do?" Yang You shook his head painfully. In the evening, Yang Yan returned to the Shizi's Mansion and found Li Jiancheng:

"Husband! There's something I want to tell you. ”

"You and I have been husband and wife for so many years, what do you have to swallow, say!" Yang Yan bit her lip.

"Today, You'er recruited me into the palace, and he said he wanted to Zen." When Yang Yan said the word Zen, Li Jiancheng raised his head, Yang Yan was a little frightened, afraid of annoying Li Jiancheng, and his words became slower.

"He only asks you to save his life for your uncle's sake." After Li Jiancheng heard Yang Yan's words, he thought that after Yang You abdicated, he was secretly poisoned by Li Yuan, and then the historian of the Tang Dynasty recorded his death as an illness for the sake of His Holiness. Thinking in his heart that in the late Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the Tang Dynasty clan were either killed by the rebellious feudal towns, or were killed by the eunuchs in the palace, and he was a little unbearable, so he held Yang Yan gently in his arms.

"Don't worry! Yan'er! I must take You'er's affairs to heart! The next morning, Li Jiancheng came to the Tang Mansion to deal with government affairs as usual, and Li Yuan saw him:

"Built, you're just in time! Have you heard about Luoyang? ”

"Father! The child heard about it, too. Li Jiancheng replied calmly:

"In the past, this Da Sui was a signboard for us, but now someone has smashed this signboard, in my opinion, it is better for us to learn from that Wang Manzi now, and also pull Yang You down." As he spoke, Li Yuan's face showed a red glow of excitement, and Li Jiancheng still did not change his respect.

"Father, the child thinks that the time is not yet ripe. If Yang You is pulled down now, I am afraid that it will do us more harm than good. ”

"Oh! Tell me about it! ”

"Although the Western Expeditionary Army of the Shimin Yuanba has received frequent reports, it has not uprooted Xue Ju's strength. Also, Liu Wuzhou in the east is eyeing us, and the loyalty of the Guanlong clan to us is not very high, once something happens, they must be the first to rebel, so according to the child, we should wait for the people to exterminate Xue Ju, and then pacify the Longxi Lanzhou area in the Zen position. After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan was silent for a while, nodded, and suddenly, a cold light appeared in his eyes:

"Built! You don't agree to let Yang You Zen position now, is it his uncle, you have to know that the love of children is a hero's tomb, and it can't be a big thing! Li Jiancheng's heart felt as if he had been slashed by a knife, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart, quickly knelt down and said with a calm face:

"The child always remembers that the child is always the son of the Father. Always! Li Yuan also felt that he was too much, and helped Li Jiancheng up.

"Jiancheng'er, you are also thinking for your father, according to your opinion, this matter is suspended!" Just when Li Yuan was still dreaming of Yang You's Zen position. A battle report from Longxi caused Li Yuan to fall from heaven to hell.

"What? You repeat. ”

"Prince, originally Grandpa Dunhuang and Grandpa Yan'an were going well, Xue Ju Xiao'er was losing one after another, who knew that Grandpa Dunhuang suddenly fell ill and was sick in bed, so Xue Ju'er made a treacherous plan and sent soldiers to insult in front of the camp gate, Grandpa Yan'an was angry, and led his troops to fight regardless of dissuasion. As a result, he ambushed in the shallow water plain and captured our army generals Murong Luohu, Li Anyuan, Liu Hongji, etc. Grandpa Yan'an was also seriously injured. Now the morale of the whole army is low, and the grandfather of Dunhuang is on the way back with the army, so please make a decision. As soon as he heard the report, Li Yuan only felt a dizziness in his head, and immediately fell on the chair:

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, Li Yuan slowly woke up:

"It's done! Built! Li Jiancheng hurried to Li Yuan's side. Li Yuan stretched out his hand, shook Li Jiancheng's hand and said:

"Built! You are right. ”

"Father!"

"Passing on the will of this king, this king will be quiet and recuperating, and all the affairs of the court and China will be handled by the prince Li Jiancheng, and the rest of the princes will be assisted by the side."

"Yes!" The officials present bowed down to receive the order, and after Pei Lin came out of Li Yuan's bedroom, he said to Li Jiancheng:

"The son of the world is really like a god!" Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly, he knew in his heart that it was not that he was like a god, but that it was due to the historical records of later generations and the cautious character he developed after coming to this era.

"Master Pei, what we have to do now is to stabilize people's hearts, since the news of my father's illness can't be hidden, I just say that I am just unwell, and I still hurry up to send my father to read every day, and in addition, send horse envoys to Ma Yi and Luoyang Turkic An to closely monitor them."

"Yes!" Looking at Pei Lian's distant figure, Li Jiancheng knew that what he had to do now was to continue to deal with the crisis that he didn't know later.
