Chapter 142: Visiting Li Jing on the Mountain

After Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui joined, Li Jiancheng was very happy and introduced them to Di Zhixun and Huang Wenqing and others. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and for the two of them to join the order to set up a banquet for them to wash the dust, at the banquet, Li Jiancheng also told Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui about his vision for the future and his current status in the Tang Army, Fang Xuanling pointed out to Li Jiancheng to the point:

"My lord! His Majesty thinks that the biggest crisis of the lord now lies in these points. Fang Xuanling paused at this point, Li Jiancheng motioned for him to continue, Huang Wenqing and Di Zhixun also wanted to know what Fang Xuanling would say?

"First, the lord has now reached the crater, although now the status of the prince Tang Wang has been established, it seems that when the prince is called the emperor in the future, the prince will become a certain number, but now our army is sitting in a domain, and it is still far from unifying the world, so as long as you make more military achievements when you fight for the world, you will have the opportunity to determine the world." Speaking of which, everyone present felt the same way, Yang Guang won the world with his military exploits.

"Among His Royal Highness's three younger brothers, His Royal Highness Li Shimin is known for his wisdom, coupled with the fact that he has a counselor like Changsun Wuji and the appeal of the Changsun family in the army, he will definitely be His Highness's number one enemy in the future." Hearing this, Li Jiancheng and the others nodded yes.

"His Royal Highness's third brother Li Yuanba is brave and good at fighting, and his martial arts are excellent, but I heard that because of the matter of Zhang Yin's second concubine, it shows that he has courage and no strategy, and the threat is second, and the fourth highness Li Yuanji has not performed well in many battles and has lost the hearts of the people, this person can be worry-free. In addition, His Highness has an Achilles' heel. That is, there are more literati than military generals. Moreover, Ma Sanbao, Chai Jie, Xiong Kuohai and others are all in the Ming Place, if they stay in the Shizi Mansion to serve, the prince will be suspicious of His Royal Highness, and the situation will be unfavorable to His Royal Highness! ”

"Hmmm! Xuan Ling is right! That doesn't know how to crack! Fang Xuanling didn't speak, his eyes wanted to look at Du Ruhui.

"Don't worry, the lord is actually easy to crack, first of all, for the four highnesses to be more wooed, it can create a brother, friend and brother among the courtiers and the family, which is conducive to gathering the hearts of His Royal Highness, and second, Ma Sanbao is directly recommended to the prince, which can increase the prince's trust in His Royal Highness. Third, there are just two people in Weichen who want to recommend to His Highness, and if he gets these two people, he can help His Highness solve this crisis. ”

"Oh! I don't know which two people Ke Mingxian recommended? ”

"One is the former Great Sui General Qu Tutong, this person is quite prestigious in the army, and there are many popular old departments in the army, if His Royal Highness can persuade him to submit to the prince, and then he will be the secretary of the military department, so that he will insert a force in the army for His Royal Highness." Li Jiancheng heard Qu Tutong's name, his heart was a little depressed, in the historical records, there are many praises for Qu Tutong's evaluation, but Li Jiancheng felt that this person was a wall grass, if he was really loyal to the Sui family, it would definitely be like his deputy Yao Jun Su swore not to surrender, and after Li Jiancheng's death, he immediately surrendered to Li Shimin, and only then did he write down his name on Lingyan Pavilion. Du Ruhui didn't notice Li Jiancheng's face.

"The second is an old acquaintance of His Royal Highness - the most trusted staff of the Duke of Yue back then."

"Li Jing!" Li Jiancheng and Du Ruhui said his name at the same time.

After Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said their thoughts, Di Zhixun and Huang Wenqing found that they had different reactions, and congratulated Li Jiancheng together and congratulated Li Jiancheng on winning the talent. And Li Jiancheng was even happier in his heart, worthy of being the protagonist of the idiom Fang Mou Du in later generations, Li Jiancheng seemed to see a bright avenue and wanted to come by himself. According to Du Ruhui, after Yang Su's death, Li Jing lived in seclusion with his wife in Lishan, built a grass house by himself, and lived a life of male farmer and female weaver with Hongfu. In order to hide people's eyes, Li Jiancheng and Fang Du changed into civilian clothes and went to Lishan with gifts. Walked a long way, but didn't see a single person.

"Kemin! Do you know where Li Jing lives in seclusion? ”

"Childe! I haven't been here either, it's not that you don't know Senior Brother Yao's temper, he doesn't like others to disturb him, and besides, there are many mountains and mountains in this Lishan, and it's really not easy to find someone! ”

"Forget it, you can't be blamed for this! Belch! Where is a woodcutter, why don't we ask him! ”

"This little brother!" The woodcutter looked up, and saw that he was wearing a beard, and the hat on his head covered his face. He looked at Li Jiancheng and his party, didn't say a word, and left on his own.

"Childe! It seems that he is a mute! Li Jiancheng didn't say anything, and the woodcutter walked a little way and came to a grass house.

"Lady, I'm back."

"Xianggong! You're back and you're eating. The woodcutter put down the firewood he had picked up, and then brought a chair to the table and sat down.

"Ahh Wife! It's so fragrant~Ah! ”

"Yes! Today's cooking is what you love, ah! This mushroom roasted rabbit meat is very fragrant, and there is also snake soup! You work so hard every day to go up the mountain to chop firewood, you must be very thirsty! Drink it while it's hot! ”

"Thank you lady, lady, you followed me and didn't let you enjoy the glory and wealth, you really suffered, you can also take a sip of snake soup!" At this time, one of their dogs was barking desperately outside.

"The virtuous couple is really affectionate, and the scene is also warm and touching! It's really in response to the poetry of the ancients, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals! Keming, Xuan Ling, do you say it! Outside the cottage, a wolf dog desperately performed its duty to stop a dozen people in gorgeous clothes and prevent them from entering.

"Three armies! Don't be rude to your guests! The wolf dog heard the call of the hostess, slowly stopped roaring, ran to the feet of the man and the hostess, and had a little fun first, but still looked vigilantly at the people standing at the bamboo gate. Li Jiancheng looked at the grass house, surrounded by a fence made of dozens of bamboos, inside the fence, on the left was a patch of chrysanthemums, and on the right was a vegetable patch.

"What a good dog. Senior Brother Yao, since we met in Yang Su Yang Laozhuguo's mansion, we haven't seen each other for almost ten years. The scene of Senior Brother Yao's wisdom in solving problems back then seems to be yesterday's thing, and I remember it vividly! Now, Senior Brother Yao and his wife are here to experience Tao Yuanming's chrysanthemum picking under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely! It's so pleasant! ”

"Since Li Gongzi, Keming, and Xuanling are here, please come into the house and talk!" Li Jiancheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were invited into the grass house by Li Jing, and saw that the furnishings of the grass house were very simple, except for a bed, there was a spiritual seat in the central lobby - the spiritual seat of the Great Sui Shangzhu Guo, Yue Guogong, and Situ Yang Su, and there was an antique piano by the window, so there was no other furniture and furnishings. Li Jiancheng looked at it and nodded. Respectfully offer incense in front of Yang Su's spirit.

"I can't imagine that Senior Brother Yao has such a deep affection for Yang Laozhuguo! Now he is still cheering for Yang Laozhuguo, which is really admirable! ”

"If the eldest prince Li is here to catch up with the pharmacist, the pharmacist is willing to offer a cup of coarse tea in the mountains and a light meal to entertain the eldest prince, if it is because of other things, please ask the eldest prince to return! In this life, as a minister of the Great Sui, I will never betray the Great Sui. I just want to accompany my teacher and grow old with my wife. ”

"Senior Brother Yao! Why bother? If there is a big battle today, it is the time for Senior Brother Medicine to show his talents, why should you let yourself be buried in this mountain and wilderness with your talents? Du Ruhui also stepped forward to persuade.

"Brother Keming! This is all because people's hearts are not enough, so why should I participate in it! Please go back! Du Ruhui still wanted to continue to persuade, but Li Jiancheng waved his hand at him.

"Since Senior Brother Yao is reluctant to go out of the mountain, I will come to disturb you in the next day, come here! Leave the gift behind and we're going to take our leave. Li Jiancheng got up to say goodbye, and Li Jing didn't say a word. Li Jiancheng didn't blame him, on the way, Du Ru asked Li Jiancheng secretly:

"Childe! Why don't you leave Li Jing behind, don't you know the truth that talents are rare? If he is used by others, he must be our fierce enemy, so it is better for me to stay here secretly, so that I can monitor who they are in contact with, and second, to protect them from being disturbed by others. If it really doesn't work. I personally arranged for them to fake their deaths and hid them in a place where no one could find them. ”

"No! Brother Kemingxian! Since ancient times, there have been good birds that choose trees to perch, if I Li Jiancheng is really the master, the heroes of the world will definitely be used by me. Li Jiancheng thought in his heart that Li Jing was still used by the Tang Dynasty in the end in history, and contributed all his knowledge to the Tang Dynasty, helping the Tang Dynasty to calm the world and maintain long-term stability. Now, even if the wings of a butterfly incite some historical trends, Li Jiancheng believes that Li Jing will not be involved in the struggle of any prince.

"The son is kind-hearted, we will swear allegiance to the death!" Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said together. Two days later, Li Jiancheng was handling government affairs in the study, and Du Ruhui ran in shouting.

"Great Son! Something big is wrong! ”

"Kemin! There is something to talk about slowly! ”

"Great Son! Something really happened! Senior Brother Yao and the Red Whisk Girl went out of the east gate together, but they were stopped by the third son, and there were some conflicts, and now they are framed by the third prince for colluding with foreign enemies, and they are slandering in front of the prince! I want the prince to choose a day to ask for a beheading! ”

Attached: Li Jing was arrested and imprisoned because when Li Yuan raised troops to attack Chang'an, Li Jing disguised himself as a prisoner and sat in a prisoner car to think that Jiangdu would change, but Li Yuan's actions were faster, and he quickly captured Chang'an and blocked the road to Jiangdu.
