Chapter 280: Infighting in Ma Yi (4)
Li Yuan was conditioned, and his complexion slowly improved. Li Yuan www.biquge.info Li Yuan recruited Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and other three brothers who stayed in Chang'an:
"Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, respectfully invites his father, Emperor Sheng'an."
"Li Shimin, the king of Qin, respectfully invites his father, Emperor Sheng'an."
"Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, respectfully invites his father, Emperor Sheng'an." Li Yuan looked at the three sons kneeling in front of him, and recalled Li Yuanba, who was still on the border of Longxi.
"Arise, all of you. Waning Moon, Sit! ”
"Yes!" The father-in-law of Wanyue agreed, beckoned his eunuchs to bring three chairs, and after the prince, King Qin, and King Qi sat down, Wanyue asked the eunuchs to retreat, and he faithfully stood by Li Yuan's side and waited. Li Yuan looked at his three sons, especially Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, one is capable in government affairs, the other is brave and good at fighting, Li Yuan has regarded them as his right-hand men, although the two brothers have a struggle for the heir, but Li Yuan is confident that he can handle it very accurately, and there will be no mistakes.
"The heirloom jade seal, since the first emperor made it with the He's bi, I don't know how many people have ruined their families for this thing, even when the north and south were confronted, there was no reason to send the heirloom jade seal to the barbarians, when I think of this, my heart is like ten thousand hearts cut off!" As he spoke, he cried bitterly again, and the three brothers, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, immediately knelt in front of Li Yuan:
"Please hold back your grief and take care of your dragon body." Li Yuan pretended to let Li Jiancheng and the three brothers get up:
"Hey! In fact, I also know that although our Li Tang's strength is second to none among the secession forces in the world, for the Turks, our strength is still very weak! Therefore, I asked you to come here this time to discuss with you, who will be the next target of the unification war? As soon as he heard this, Li Yuanji replied first:
"Father, the sons and daughters think that the first thing we have to deal with is Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, this person has seized many territories in Taiyuan, east of the river, not to mention that my mother's coffin is still in Taiyuan, not to mention, Xiuning's sister and Chai Jie's brother-in-law are all alone in Weize Pass, we can't abandon them!" Li Yuanji's words about his loss of Taiyuan have aroused the recognition of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng. Especially Li Yuan, when he remembered the scene when Mrs. Dou and himself were in love with him, and that he would rather commit suicide in order to protect himself, Li Yuan's heart swelled with a sense of guilt. Li Shimin couldn't come up with any reason to refute it. However, Li Shimin will not easily let others ignore his existence:
"Father, the son thinks that what the fourth brother said is reasonable, but since ancient times, the army has been famous for its teachers, if we rush to send troops, the son may cause the intervention of the Turkic Jieli Khan, so the son thinks that we should first find a reason to start a war, so that we can make the best efforts and the people of the world have nothing to say!" Li Jiancheng also nodded when he heard it, and found an excuse for the war, which was the truth that later generations of Tojo Neurosis and Hitter's madmen also knew. Li Yuan nodded:
"Shimin, what is your clever excuse?"
"Father! Isn't there that ready-made excuse! Aren't our Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, Tang Jian and Liu Shirang, the head of the march, all in the hands of Liu Wuzhou! Send messengers and welcome them back first! If they come back, we will consider it in the long run, and if we can't welcome them back, won't we have a reason to use troops against them? Li Yuan nodded:
"Hmmm! Very good, send Yuwen Changying as an envoy to Ma Yi to welcome back all the captured Aiqing! ”
"Yes!" Liu Wuzhou received a report from Wei Chi Jingde, saying that Li Tang in Guanzhong had sent a special envoy to exchange for the captured Ministry of Industry Shangshu Dugu Huaien, the governor of Shaanzhou Yu Yun, the envoy Tang Jian, and the marching commander Liu Shirang. Liu Wuzhou immediately came to Song Jingang to discuss:
"King Kong! Previously, I received a recital from Wei Chi Jingde at the crossing of the Yellow River, and Li Yuan sent Yuwen Changying as a chief envoy to ask our court, hoping that our dynasty could release the captured Li Tang Gongbu Shangshu Dugu Huai'en, the governor of Shaanzhou Yu Yun, the internal envoy Tang Jian, and the marching commander Liu Shirang and others who were captured when they were fighting in Xia County. And he also sent a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver as a meeting gift. What do you think?! Song Jingangjiang lowered his head:
"Your Majesty, Weichen respectfully obeys the Holy Order." As time passed, Song Jin just became humble and silent in front of Liu Wuzhou, and began to hide his thoughts, especially since Lu Xinyuan and Song Jingang failed in the struggle for power - (Liu Wuzhou originally hoped to support civil officials and suppress Song Jingang's power, who knew that Song Jingang secretly instructed local military and political officials, and disobeyed the orders of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and among the civil and military officials of the same level, the military generals often beat the civil officials because of trivial matters, and Liu Wuzhou in order to compete for the world, he also compromised to a certain extent on this matter, and in the end, Lu Xinyuan was forced to become ill, and since then, the Lu family has abandoned the official business business. )
"I still want to hear your opinion!" Liu Wuzhou said to Song Jingang without question:
"Holy Lord, now that Li Tang has lowered his head, his attitude towards our dynasty is quite modest, and Weichen's attitude is to agree to their request. Because now, we are far from Li Tang's sergeant strength and territory, and in order to contact and curry favor with the Turks, we have sacrificed the land of Dingxiang, it is not appropriate to have a hard fight with the Tang army at this time, besides, didn't Li Tang already give gifts! Liu Wuzhou lowered his head and thought for a moment:
"I know, Marshal Song, go down!" Song Jingang said in his heart: "What a fucking style. He said this in his heart, but he did not dare to say a word more, so he saluted directly:
"Your Majesty, Weichen has retired." Liu Wuzhou thought for a while, and came to the prison where the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Dugu Huaien, the governor of Shaanzhou, Yu Yun, the envoy Tang Jian, and the head of the march, Liu Shirang, the head of the march, and others were imprisoned, and the prison guards saw that the emperor was coming, and immediately stepped forward to salute Liu Wuzhou.
"How are those guys inside, have you said anything lately?" The jailer took out a notebook, which recorded what Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Li Tang Ministry of Labor, Yu Yun, the governor of Shaanzhou, Tang Jian, the internal envoy, and Liu Shirang, the head of the march, said in prison these days:
"Your Majesty, only Dugu Huaien has said the most recently, and these are what he said." Liu Wuzhou carefully looked at the contents of the notebook:
On the first day, Dugu Huaien, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Yun, the governor of Shaanzhou, Tang Jian, the internal envoy, Liu Shirang, the chief of the march, and others entered the prison.
The next day, Dugu Huaien thought that the food was not good, and Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang persuaded people to bow their heads under the eaves.
On the third day, Dugu Huaien knew that the improvement of the food was the emperor's preferential treatment for them, and said to Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang that it was Li Yuan, the leader of the enemy chieftain, who blessed them and helped them tide over the difficulties.
On the fourth day, Dugu Huaien confided in Tang Jian, saying that he was defeated and did not kill himself like Li Xiaoji, and he was afraid that after returning to Chang'an, he would be severely punished by Li Yuan. Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang were silent. …… After seeing this, Liu Wuzhou closed the record book and said to the jailer:
"Take me with you."
"Yes! Your Majesty, please! The jailer took Liu Wuzhou to a secret room, and next door was the cell where Dugu Huai'en, Yu Yun, Tang Jian, Liu Shirang and others were held. I only heard Dugu Huaien say to himself:
"Ugh! I said Brother Tang Jian, what will happen to us who are defeated, hey! You said that I, the queen's nephew, don't do it as a good gentleman in Chang'an, why should I be an official, but why does this official have to go to the battlefield again, it's good to go to the battlefield, but I lost the battle, I lost the battle, now it's okay, I got myself into this prison. Ay! It's all fate! After a while, Dugu Huaien saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he began to talk to himself again:
"Ugh! You say, 'Will my uncle come and save us?' Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang didn't speak, and let Dugu Huaien talk to himself. Dugu Huaien did not scruple about the attitude of Yu Yun, Tang Jian, Liu Shirang and others towards him, and said something that shocked Yu Yun, Tang Jian, Liu Shirang and Liu Wuzhou.
"Ugh! If you say, if you really can't do it, you might as well surrender us! Anyway, in this troubled times, maybe Liu Wuzhou can still reuse us! As soon as they heard this, Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang pretended to be asleep directly, and heard Dugu Huaien say loudly:
"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong with all of you? Listen to me! Liu Wuzhou was not interested in listening to Dugu Huaien. Walked straight out of the chamber and headed for the cell. Dugu Huaien was talking energetically, but suddenly his mouth stopped.
"Adults, it's good to live here!" Dugu Huaien opened his mouth wide and didn't speak, Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shi asked the three of them to wake up quickly from pretending to be asleep. looked at Liu Wuzhou and didn't speak. Liu Wuzhou said with a smile:
"How used to living here are adults! If you don't get used to it, please forgive Wu Zhou for my sin of not taking good care of me! Saying that, Liu Wuzhou said to Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang, Yu Yun, Tang Jian, and Liu Shirang didn't speak, and Dugu Huaien was enthusiastic:
"Oops! His Majesty Liu Wuzhou is polite, the environment here is clean, the food is not bad, thank you Your Majesty Liu Wuzhou for your hospitality. Thank you very much. Liu Wuzhou looked at the cell in a fake way, and reprimanded the jailer loudly:
"Bastard! How can I place my honored guest in such a place! Someone! Hurry up and move my four distinguished guests. Four distinguished guests, I have a good thing to tell you, Li Tang's envoy has arrived, I believe that it will not be long before I will sign a contract with Li Tang and form an alliance, now you are all my distinguished guests, I believe that soon you will be able to go home, I have arranged a post house for you to rest, everyone, please! ”
