Chapter 424: Liu Heimin's Appearance (7)
After the news of Li Daoxuan's death was transmitted back to Chang'an, Li Yuan's heart was extremely depressed. www.biquge.info This is the second time that Liu Heimin has defeated the Tang army, and Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong and Li Daoxuan and other famous generals of the clan have either been captured or killed. and then was defeated by Liu Heimin. Li Yuan now has a feeling that there is no conscience in the DPRK.
"Built, built, built, built, where are you? Built! ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What happened to you? Li Yuan woke up from his sleep.
"Hmmm! Moon! Why are you here? ”
"Your Majesty, the slave thought you were going to bed, and suddenly I heard you shouting the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the slave and maid walked in. Your Majesty, are you going to summon the crown prince now? Li Yuan looked at the night outside.
"Forget it, Wanyue, you have to work hard now, go to the Prince's East Palace to pass the decree, and order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the Renshou Palace early tomorrow morning." The father-in-law of the waning moon immediately received the order. Early the next morning, Li Jiancheng entered Renshou Palace to face the saint:
"Son-in-law, see father!"
"Ahh It's done! Sit down, sit down! Li Yuan regained his original enthusiasm for Li Jiancheng.
"It's done! Now you have also seen this situation, the Turkic Lili Khan Chen Bing Ma Yi is really a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it. Li Jiancheng has been listening quietly.
"Also, now Liu Heimin has become the climate, and now it has affected the entire Qilu, and has caused trouble in Hebei, Henan, and Hedong, and now Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daoxuan These people are either captured or killed, Yuanba is in Longxi, and he can't move for the time being, and now he can only rely on you as a father." Li Jiancheng said in his heart - 'Hmph! Now you think of me again, when I said that you should help me withstand the pressure in the court, you are good, Liu Wenjing muttered a few words in your ear again, and you immediately turned your face with me. When the father-in-law of the remnant moon came to the East Palace at night to announce the decree to Li Jiancheng and asked Li Jiancheng to meet Li Yuan early the next morning, Li Jiancheng quietly and secretly inquired about Li Yuan's temperament suddenly changed and ordered him to be placed under house arrest in the East Palace, and why was he so excited now to make himself like a saint in the Renshou Palace?
"Ahh His Royal Highness the Prince, you are really careless in what you do, you sent Zhuge Dewei out of the city, and also sent so much grain, grass, gold and silver, Liu Wenjing and Lord Liu participated in you in front of the emperor. No, that's why the emperor ......" Li Jiancheng slowly understood-'Hmph! Hum! Hum! As the saying goes, if you don't look for death, you won't die, Liu Wenjing, I have tolerated you many times, you are good, from time to time you stumble around me and play tricks, sooner or later this palace will let you taste your own evil consequences. ’
"Ahh It turns out that this is the case, and I thank my father-in-law for the completion of it. "When the father-in-law left, he carried a gold ingot weighing about three catties in his arms. Li Yuan continued to ask Li Jiancheng:
"Built, what do you think we should do now? ...... built" Li Yuan seemed to see that Li Jiancheng was a little absent-minded, so he asked Li Jiancheng loudly, and Li Jiancheng came back to his senses:
"Ahh Father! ”
"What are you thinking?"
"Father! Erchen is thinking of countermeasures. ”
"So have you thought of a countermeasure?" Li Yuan was obviously not satisfied with Li Jiancheng's answer.
"Father! Erchen thought that in order to do such a few important things now, first of all, we should send people with heavy gifts to the Khan's court tent outside the city of Mayi, meet the Turkic Lili Khan, and reaffirm our alliance with the DPRK, and we were originally a brotherly alliance, but now I am afraid that it will be even lowered, forming an alliance of kings and ministers. As soon as he heard the alliance of kings and ministers, Li Yuan's face immediately collapsed - Li Yuan was nearly thirteen years older than the Turkic Lili Khan. At the beginning, in order to make friends with the Lili Khan, Li Yuan groveled to the Lili Khan as a brother and a brother. Now it's good, it's even more cheap, if it is changed to a monarch and a minister, in the eyes of the Central Plains court, the nomads outside the Great Wall are all barbarians, even if the Xianbei people who entered the Central Plains at the beginning, as well as the Manchus in later generations, after entering the Central Plains, they all regard the nomads on the grassland as barbarians, not to mention the Han dynasty, Li Yuan's self-esteem has been stimulated even more. Li Yuan stood up and paced back and forth. Li Jiancheng knew that Li Yuan's heart was tormented. I didn't speak all the time. Li Yuan stopped.
"It's done! I have my own arrangements for the affairs of the Khan of Lili, and as for the other things, what are your plans? ”
"Father, the son will also edit a book of "Records of the Magi", and this "Records of the Magi" will include ......" Li Yuan nodded as he listened.
A few days later, outside the city of Mayi, the golden tent of the Khan, the Khan led an army of 100,000 and a large number of nomadic people came to the outside of the city of Mayi, Li Tang has been carrying out a war to unify the Central Plains, whenever Li Tang eliminated a separatist force, the heart of the Khan of Lili was raised, since he heard that there was turmoil in the Central Plains, the Khan of Lili was excited and couldn't sleep, you know, the Khan knew in his heart that if the Central Plains was divided, then the Turks could be in danger of destruction at any time, Only by letting the Central Plains continue to be chaotic like this, so that there can be a great Turkic spring, so the Lili Khan observes Liu Heimin's movements at any time, and there is no way to break through Guanzhong Longxi, because these two places are heavily guarded by Li Tang. And Youzhou, Luo Yi's prestige has always been the shadow in the hearts of every Turkic people, therefore, the Turkic Lili Khan locked his eyes on Mayi, ready to wait at any time after Liu Heimin knocked Li Tang down, he attacked Mayi in a big way, broke through the Great Wall defense line of the Central Plains Dynasty, and when Lingli Khan was dreaming for himself, the guards reported to Jieli Khan:
"Great Khan, Li Tang has a messenger coming, and he also brought a large number of labor supplies."
"Oh! Is it? These people are really filial, what good things have they brought!? ”
"Great Khan! This time, the materials included 100,000 horses of cloth and silk, 100,000 stones of grain, and all of them were high-quality polished rice, as well as 1,500 horses of brocade, tens of thousands of catties of salt and tens of thousands of catties of tea, and tens of thousands of catties of snow sugar. "Since the snow candy was developed by Li Jiancheng, it was not only welcomed by the people of the Central Plains, but also by the Turkic nobles on the grassland. Every year, in addition to sending a large amount of cloth, brocade, grain, and salt to the Turks, snow sugar is also a very good luxury. The more he listened, the happier he became:
"Hmmm! Yes, take the things and let them go! The guard agreed, and after a while the guard came again:
"Khan, that person said that he was the Khan's old friend in the Central Plains, and he had known the Khan for many years, and this time he heard that the Khan came to Mayi, and specially asked Emperor Li Tang for an order to come to meet the Khan!"
"Old friends in the Central Plains, and the Khan have known each other for many years?" The Khan thought that he had no old friends in the Central Plains, but over the years, there were many traitors who came from the Central Plains, and it was through them that the Khan could know all the news and inside stories of the Central Plains.
"Hmmm! Let that person in! "That person was wearing Li Tang's five-grade official uniform, a large beard, and a slightly chubby body, and he looked like a rich and noble person. The Khan asked the man:
"Dare to ask this lord, what is your surname, and what is your official position!?" After the man had finished saluting the Khan with the Turkic salute, he stood up:
"Ashina is a great khan, and you are polite." The Khan felt that this man's voice was familiar, and he wondered who this person was. As a result, when the man removed his beard, the Great Khan of the Ashina clan finally saw who it was - "It's you!" ”
"Ashina Great Khan, long time no see! In Xia Li Yuan heard that the Great Khan had arrived, he specially came to reminisce to the Great Khan. ”
"Li Yuan, aren't you afraid that I will detain you here?" Li Yuan said with a smile:
"Humph! Hum! Hum! Ashina Da Khan, before coming down here, has left a holy decree, I am in the palace Qing Xiu, the prince supervises the country, besides, now Liu Heimin is in the Central Plains, but Guanzhong, Bashu, Jing Chu are very calm, Liu Heimin will be pacified by our dynasty sooner or later, so I specially came to talk to Ashina Da Khan today. Li Yuan's calm and relaxed spirit made Ashina Da Khan hesitate a little.
"Ashina Great Khan, you don't seem to be hospitality! After a long journey, I am a little hungry, so I ask Ashina Da Khan to serve the food quickly! I have sent you so many supplies of grain, grass, salt, snow sugar, cloth, and brocade to the Turks, and you will not even be able to roast a whole sheep! Hurry up and serve! I'm almost hungry at the bottom. Ashina looked at Li Yuan, and finally did not make up his mind to detain Li Yuan. So he immediately ordered someone to put on the fat whole sheep and mellow mare's milk wine to entertain Li Yuan, at the banquet, Li Yuan rescued the madness, and deliberately danced the grassland dance in the name of dancing to help the fun (according to historical records, Li Yuan's ancestors may have been Turkic, so it is not surprising that Li Yuan knew how to dance the grassland). Through Li Yuan's series of actions, the vigilance of the Ashina Great Khan became smaller and smaller, on the contrary, the vanity became stronger and stronger, and in the end, the Ashina Great Khan hugged Li Yuan and spoke intimately:
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Li Yuan, you said that you don't enjoy happiness in the palace of Chang'an, why did you come to this Mayi? ”
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Great Khan, you don't know, this emperor is not easy to be! When the next person lives in this palace, does he feel lonely, and he is also afraid of being assassinated, being elevated, being deposed, watching those recitals all day long, using his brain all day long, very tired! ”
"Me too, the great khan of the grassland is not easy to be at all, and I am the same, the tribal elders below are intriguing with you, and the brothers and sisters are bent on usurping your authority and wealth, and I only have the strength to wear my own mask and not let others know my inner thoughts, I am also very tired! Fortunately, you are a brother who allows me to speak my heart. ”
"Great Khan, you are wrong, we are kings and ministers on the surface, but we can be called brothers in private." After hearing Li Yuan say that we are kings and ministers on the surface, but we can be called brothers in private, Ashina Dakhan saluted Li Yuan with the mare's milk wine in his hand and said:
"Good! Li Yuan, what you said is very good, we are monarchs and ministers on the surface, but we can be called brothers in private. "We are kings and ministers on the surface, but we can call ourselves brothers in private. Under Li Yuan's compliment, he slowly put down his plan to invade the Central Plains. And Li Yuan also successfully completed his mission and happily returned to Chang'an.
