Like Wu Kexuan, the king of Yongnan, Li Zitong, the king of Fengming, Shen Faxing, the king of Jiangnan, and Lei Dapeng, the king of Xiangyang, are mainly Xiao Milling, the king of Liang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The remaining Tang Bi, Xu Yuanlang, and Wang Bo have already attached themselves to Li Mi; Although Dou Jiande, the king of Changle, and Zhu Can, the king of Jialuo, did not belong to him, they also agreed with Li Mi to be the master. There is only one big demon king left, Cheng Zhijie, who doesn't sell anyone's accounts, and is messing around here.
"Okay, that's it for today, please ask the envoy of the Great Sui to rest in the back account, and we'll continue to discuss it tomorrow." Li Mi helped his head, which was buzzing a little loudly, and asked people to arrange Li Shimin's residence, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Everyone glanced at each other, and then each got up quickly to say goodbye and go back to discuss countermeasures. Li Shimin didn't say anything, smiled slightly and followed the waiter to his residence.
In the evening, Xue Ju and the others were discussing how to get their hands on the jade seal, and then exchange it with the Turks for more soldiers and horses, so as to occupy more territory. Li Rail: "It's all a good thing that the big blue head is broken, and I'm waiting for it; Originally, everyone was already intimidated by the prestige of the Turks, but this guy's nonsense made us the target of public criticism. ”
Xue Ju sighed and said, "I am not satisfied with everyone, I had a fight with this guy a few years ago, and I was almost killed by him; Until now, my health has not improved, and my heart and mouth still hurt from time to time. ”
Everyone was startled and hurriedly asked what happened, and Xue Ju told the story without concealing it. Liang Shidu said: "This guy is a two-hundred-five, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will do it directly; and his courage was greater; Who is not afraid of the million-strong army of Turks? If he dares to say that he will do it; My 10,000 Golden Wolf Army! If there is no heirloom jade seal, I don't know how to deal with it when I go back. ”
Everyone was talking about it, and suddenly a guard came in to report that the envoy of the Sui Dynasty had come to see the princes alone.
Xue Ju and a few people were stunned, what is this envoy of the Sui Dynasty doing now? But they still see it first; So people brought Li Shimin in.
Li Shimin came inside and saw that the six of them were all smiling slightly, clenching their fists and arching their hands: "Li Shimin, see all the princes!" ”
Xue Ju seemed to be the leader of the crowd, and he was the first to ask, "General Li, why did you think of coming to us?" Let's open the skylight and say bright things, in terms of strength, Li Mi is the strongest, and Cheng Zhijie is the most powerful; Do we have anything to look out for? ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "The overlord of Western Qin is really fast-talking, so I won't hide it; I'm not here to take a fancy to you; It's the force behind you. ”
Everyone suddenly became wary of Li Shimin; Li Shimin continued: "You may also know that my family is also connected with the Turks. In my eyes, the Li family is the first, and the Sui is the second; I also want to use this for the greater good of my family; On one point, I agree with all of you! ”
The kings nodded secretly when they heard this, their family's behavior has always been like this, so it is not surprising. Xue raised his hands and said, "Okay!" General Lee said it well! I just don't know what General Li can do to help me! ”
Li Shimin said: "This is very simple, tomorrow everyone might as well praise Li Mi again; In three days' time, I will come here again as an emissary to receive the seal. But before I come, I'll make a quiet trip to the mountain pass, and I hope that a few of you can make up a reason to pull the army out, and wait for me to arrive with the jade seal. Let's flee back to the west immediately, and if there is another Turkic army to respond, I don't think even the eighteen countries will have to suffer. ”
"Good! Just do what General Lee says! Tomorrow, let Li Mi be proud for a while, and when he finds out that he has been deceived, the envoy of the Great Sui Dynasty has not appeared; Let him go and ask the Sui Dynasty for the jade seal! ”
Li Shimin arched his hand and said: "So I will wait for good news!" There are so many eyes and ears here, I won't stay longer! There will be a date in the future! ”
Xue Ju and the others also stood up, clenched their fists and arched their hands: "There will be a period later!" Goodbye, goodbye! ”
Li Shimin walked out of their station, smiled coldly and did not go back to rest, but went to ask to see Li Mi, the king of Western Wei.
Li Mi didn't seem surprised at all when he heard that Li Shimin was coming, and let people lure him in. Li Shimin bowed his hand and said: "Li Shimin sees the king of Western Wei." ”
Li Mihaha laughed and said: "Virtuous nephews don't need to be polite, I used to be courtiers in the same palace with your father, and today I am very relieved to see that the virtuous nephew's demeanor is even more virtuous." ”
Li Shimin hurriedly said humbly: "My father often talks to us about the heroes of the world, and he respects you very much. I often tell us to ask for more advice when we see you, and today we really live up to our reputation. ”
The two praised each other a few words, and Li Mi said: "The virtuous nephew came to me this time, I don't know what can I teach me?" ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today in the big tent, I see that all the anti-kings are either fighting for power and ruthlessness, or they are doing nothing; Only the King of Wei is the king! Besides, if you can't write two Li characters in one stroke, our two families will be in the same breath; The people of the world are willing to serve the king of Wei, persuade other anti-kings for the king of Wei, and publicly recommend you as the master; I wonder if King Wei is willing to accept it? ”
Li Mi laughed and said: "Virtuous nephew and talent, if you are willing to assist me, treat him as prime minister." Li Shimin hurriedly got up and saluted: "Shimin, thank you King Wei for your support." ”
"Okay, okay, you're welcome! The people of the world sit, sit! Tell me how they got these anti-kings to agree to elect me as their master. ”
Li Shimin said: "King Wei rest assured! This is nothing more than a sharp word! I can use the identity of the envoy of the Sui Dynasty to coax them to elect you as the lord first and get the jade seal of the Sui Dynasty; Dispose of it again. When the jade seal is in your hands, will they still be able to snatch it? ”
Li Mi nodded and said, "The words of the people of the world are exactly what I want. It can be done quickly; I have good news for you! ”
Li Shimin agreed, then turned around and said goodbye; Then he turned around and came to the headquarters of the Great Demon Kingdom; Cheng Zhijie asked people to welcome him in. Li Shimin went inside but found that there were only four people: Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Cen Wenwen, and Ling Jing.
"Meet the fifth brother, Qin Engong, two adults." Li Shimin smiled slightly, clenched his fists and arched his hands; The chair next to Cheng Zhijiewan pointed and said, "Are you done visiting?" I'm tired! Hurry up and sit down! ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "The fifth brother still knows me, and it's really tiring to talk to these people with masks!" As soon as I came here, I felt relaxed. It was like coming home, it was so nice! ”
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "You kid has played all the anti-kings in the world, and you are still selling here; I should expose your old bottom in public. ”
Li Shimin smiled: "I know that the fifth brother will not embarrass me!" Everyone laughed together, and Ling Jing said: "Second son, this is a rare opportunity to kill the faint monarch and save the people from fire and water, why should the second prince stop it?" ”
Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Do you think that killing Yang Guang will be too peaceful in the world?" Please see which of these anti-kings is qualified to pacify the world? At that time, the world will be in chaos, and it will be another warlord scuffle, and if we let the Turks outside the Seychelles take advantage of the situation to invade, it will be even more devastating, and we will be very guilty. ”
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, Cheng Biting Jin said, "Why do you look down on your fifth brother?" Am I not the master? ”
Li Shimin looked at him complicatedly and said, "If time permits, it will only take twenty years, and wait for the talents in your school to grow up; I will not hesitate to choose to support the fifth brother. But time does not wait for me, the elites of the world are controlled by the family, and they will not allow you to control the world; You're digging their roots.
Take Cui's as an example, he is under the fifth brother, but how many people are out of office? Fifth brother wouldn't think that their Cui family had so much energy, right? If they really help the fifth brother, do you still need to borrow someone from me? ”
Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly: "This Cui Xin, I'll make him look good when I turn around!" Li Shimin said: "Fifth brother doesn't have to blame him, his realm is not up to it; You are an ancient talent, and you are doing the business of eternity, but you need a strong order to back it up, and it is too early to implement it now. ”
Cheng Zhijie smiled bitterly and said: "But I don't know what I said, but I am a poor boy from the countryside, who is willing to come out to help me, this is also a last resort." ”
Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said, "Fifth brother, are you willing to help me?" Cheng Zhijie stared at him for a while and said, "Shimin, it's okay if you want me to help you, but you have to promise me a few things." ”
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said: "Fifth brother, please say it clearly, but I will agree to all your requests!" Cheng Yanjin said: "Don't agree too quickly; Let's talk about my conditions first. First of all, one of my brothers followed me from birth to death, and you must not treat them badly. ”
Li Shimin said: "Fifth brother, don't worry, your knowledge can only be known to everyone!" What kind of position are they in the Great Demon Kingdom, and what kind of treatment are they in with us. ”
Cheng Zhijie nodded and said: "And I'm a lazy person who is at ease with what happens, and I like to talk nonsense with a big mouth; If there is anything that offends you in the future, please forgive me; And if I go away that day, you must not stop me. ”
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Fifth brother, is the relationship between us so good?" I respect my fifth brother as a father and brother, and I will never do anything to be sorry for my fifth brother, and let's share the glory together, isn't it? Why do you always say that there are differences? ”
Cheng Zhijie secretly said in his heart: "Don't treat me as a father and brother, you guy will kill his brother and kill his brother for thousands of years." ”
He smiled and said, "There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed; That's for later, so we'll talk about that later. Shimin, I fancy your talents, but as for the rest of the Li family, they are not worthy of my assistance. So now is the right time, when you think you can recruit me, I will come to vote. ”
"Ahh Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time; Cheng Yanjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's take a step and see one step at a time!" ”
Li Shimin was silent, got up and said goodbye to Cheng Zhijie; Lao Cheng retreated after he sent him to the door.
