It was late at night, and the wind was blowing outside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yanqing stood in the attic, silent. From him, you can see the majestic walls of the imperial city, and even the swaying banner on the gate tower can be seen clearly.

This is a large mansion located in Lide Fang, outside the eastern city of the imperial city, with nine courtyards in and nine outs, covering an area of hundreds of hectares.

Go out is Xuanren Gate, go inside, north to Hanjia Gate, south to Chengfu Gate, and then to the west, you can see where the East Palace is located. Previously, it was the palace of Yang Jin, the king of Qi of the Sui Dynasty. After Wang Shichong ascended the throne, it became Wang Xuanshu's residence. Li Yanqing, as a clan, is the king of Henan, so he chose the Qi Wangfu in the past. He also sent people to report to the imperial court, believing that the war was over and the national strength was lacking. If there is a large amount of construction, it is obviously not suitable. The Qi Palace's vast area is exactly what he wants, and there is no need for the emperor to worry about it.

He was the king of Henan, and Luoyang was his residence.

Regardless of whether Yan Qing can become a vassal or not, this palace is indispensable.

Li Yanqing is not a person who likes luxury, and there is an attic in the palace of King Qi, which is made of green bamboo at the foot of Longmen Mountain, which is very much to his taste. The ancients used bamboo to sing the chi, and Li Yanqing sang ten poems of bamboo, and established the noble and unyielding temperament of bamboo.

When he was a child, he lived in a bamboo garden at the foot of Longmen Mountain.

Now, the bamboo garden has long been in ruins, and it is obviously impossible to regain the feelings of the past. On the contrary, there is a bamboo forest around the attic in the palace of the king of Qi, which is said to be transplanted from Longmen Mountain by Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, and it is also very lush.

Standing on the bamboo tower, Li Yanqing faintly felt the life of the bamboo garden back then.

Now, the last day of the second year of Wude!

After today, it is the New Year.

The arrival of Wude's three years will bring him a new beginning. However, Yanqing also knows that the road ahead will be full of thorns.

As the saying goes, officials crush people to death.

Although Liu Wenjing is a veteran minister, he is not valued by Li Yuan. After experiencing the defeat of the shallow water plain, Liu Wenjing's rights have shrunk even more. If it weren't for Li Shimin's guarantee, it would be impossible to say that Liu Wenjing would have lost his surname after the defeat in the shallow water plain.

He can take a stand in front of Du Ruhui, but he can't deserve Li Yanqing's thunderous anger.

After whipping him hard, Liu Wenjing had to salute respectfully and shouted: Thank you for the teachings of King Henan......

Wonderful powers!

The corners of Li Yanqing's mouth outlined a strange smile.

It's just that if this whip goes down, there will definitely be a situation between him and Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is a stoic surname, don't look at the smile on his face, he didn't say anything on his mouth, but in his heart, he must be extremely angry.

When he was parting, the trace of resentment in his eyes was captured by Li Yanqing.

Yan Qing would not be stupid enough to think that after Li Shimin really ascended the throne, he would not blame the past. Since ancient times, there have been many things about unloading mills and killing donkeys, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. If the emperor wants to kill someone, even if he is a clan, he will not have any scruples. That history of the founding of the country is not a bloody history of killing. Li Yanqing also knows that his reputation is too high, and Li Shimin may not tolerate it even if he has a lot of energy.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

"Lord Wang, the eldest grandson has woken up."

On the attic stairs, there was a faint sound of footsteps.

Just listening to the voice, Li Yanqing knew that it was Liu Qing who came up......

"I'll go down now."

Yan Qing turned around and walked downstairs.

Liu Qing turned to the side and made way for Yanqing.

"Lord Wang, the honest arm is useless."

Li Yanqing paused, and then walked downstairs with an expressionless face.

On the first floor of the bamboo building, in the center is a hall of about 300 square meters. There are three side rooms on each side, one should be two volumes, that is, the size of six rooms.

The eldest grandson Wuji's injuries were not light, and after being carried back, he was unconscious.

Li Yanqing walked into the room and happened to meet the imperial doctor.

"The eldest grandson's injuries are not too serious, they are all flesh wounds, and the prince doesn't need to worry."

"Yes!"

Li Yanqing nodded, and the moment he entered the house, he suddenly spoke: "Liu Qing, take the imperial doctor to visit him again and tell him to recuperate well, don't worry." In this lonely palace, someone still needs to take care of it. From now on, he is the family order of the Qi Palace. ”

Every royal palace will have a corresponding vassal, that is, the so-called retainers.

However, unlike ordinary retainers, the retainers of the royal palace have corresponding ranks. The East Palace family order is from the rank of the fourth grade, and the family order of the prince's mansion should be from the rank of the fifth grade. And the family order of the county king's mansion is from the rank of the seventh grade. This rank is not too high, but the identity is not ordinary. In each royal palace, there will be a family order temple, which is responsible for the decree of food, storage and storage.

This is considered a close minister of the palace, and what he represents when he goes out is also the dignity of the palace.

Under the five products, the royal family order can go to the court without worshipping. It's just that these people don't belong to the ministry of officials, and they are completely appointed by the masters of each royal palace.

In other words, as long as it is not a murderous rebellion, the local government has no right to deal with it.

The family order is in the palace, and it belongs to the small and powerful figures. What is needed is not great talent, but loyalty to the master.

At this point, Liang Laoshi has proven himself.

Liu Qing was stunned, and his face suddenly showed joy.

He has a good relationship with Liang Laoshi, and he is quite honestly cared for. Previously, he was also worried that he would be kicked out of the palace after being honestly disabled. You know, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not surprising. And the honesty after being crippled will definitely face a situation where life is worse than death. Now, instead of driving away Liang Laoshi, Li Yanqing was promoted to a family order, which also made Liu Qing feel a little grateful.

To be able to meet a loving master is a blessing for those of them who are subordinates.

The door closed, and Li Yanqing sat on the edge of the bed.

Eldest Sun Wuji looked at him and said with a wry smile: "Yangzhen, I've caused you trouble......"

"Mowgli, a family, why do you have to talk about two families? Not to mention that the two of us are in-laws, even if there is no relationship between Guanyin and the maid, you and I have known each other since childhood, and after many years, how can I sit back and watch you being bullied? You and I are one, hurt in your body, hurt in my heart.

It's just beating up a few guys who don't know what to do, even if you kill them, what's the point? You take care of your illness, I have sent someone to Gong County, and in a few days my mother and Guanyin will come over, I guess you don't want them to see your blue nose and egg swollen appearance......"

Between Yanqing and the eldest grandson Wuji, they spoke very casually.

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered, but he grinned because of the injuries on his face.

"Yangzhen, you are also the king of the county, how can you talk, and you are still the same ruffian as before?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly and patted Changsun Wuji's arm, "We have known each other for ten years...... Hehe, I was like this ten years ago, I'm afraid I can't change. ”

The smile on Mowgli's face is even greater!

"I heard that you beat Liu Wenjing?"

"Yes!"

"What's the matter?" The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Liu Wenjing's surname is very yin, and he will repay it." After all, he is an old minister, and if you beat him like this, I'm afraid you will get into trouble. ”

"Ha, am I afraid of trouble?"

Eldest Sun Wuji sat up with a prop up, "You are not the same now as before. In the past, when you were in Xingyang, you were in charge of the house alone, and you could do whatever you liked. But now, you are a human minister, and everything can no longer be done by a surname, as before, for fear that it will provoke right and wrong. ”

"Right or wrong?"

Li Yanqing sneered, "My right and wrong have never been broken." ”

He got up and walked to the door, pulled the door open and looked outside, and sat back down.

"Do you know why I'm late today?"

"Oh?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was knocked unconscious in Fengdu at that time, so he didn't know what happened later.

Li Yanqing said in a low voice: "At noon, I received a guest in Huairenfang...... Hehe, you can't think of anyone. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes rolled, and he wrote the word 'east' on the couch with his fingers, and then looked at Yanqing with an inquiring gaze.

Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled.

The eldest grandson Wuji, sure enough, is worthy of the eldest grandson Wuji, a famous minister!

It is true that he did not inherit the mantle of Changsun Sheng, but he has the wisdom of Changsun Sheng. With just one sentence, he guessed the answer. This made Li Yanqing very surprised! He asked softly, "Mowgli, how did you guess it?" ”

"Since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection."

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were scorching, staring at Yan Qing, not thinking that Yan Qing was a clan, and had any scruples. He said: "The dispute between Yang Guang and Prince Yang Yong back then has only passed 20 years. Some people forget, while others don't. How similar is the form of today to that of the past? The crown prince is in charge of the capital, and the prince is in charge of the army, fighting in the field...... The prince is not a busy person, how can he not see the mystery in this? The king of Qin held the right commanding army, while the king of Zhao sat in Wuwei and controlled the left unified army.

I have heard that the King of Qin and the King of Zhao have always been good friends, and the King of Zhao has the courage to be unstoppable.

In contrast, how can the prince, who has lost his military power, not have scruples? Previously, King Qin and Wang Shichong clashed, but he sat in Hedong but ignored it, his intention was ...... Hehe, now that King Qin has taken Luoyang, I'm afraid the prince will feel even more uneasy in his heart.

He needs someone who can suppress King Qin, and this person not only needs to be a great battleman, but also a member of the clan.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for ordinary foreign ministers to suppress King Qin...... In the clan, there are countless good fighters, but you are the most suitable. ”

"It's Li Quan."

"Oh?"

"The nephew of the crown prince Shaobao Li Gang."

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled, "So, I guessed right. ”

Li Yanqing nodded and smiled: "The prince has returned to Chang'an, and when Li Gang heard that I came to Luoyang, he guessed my purpose." So he stationed troops in Heyang, and then sent someone to stop the Duke of Dou County in Yanshi...... The prince meant that he should not let the king of Qin stay in Luoyang, so as not to become big. ”

"It's pretty much the same as I guessed...... So how are you going to choose? ”

As the eldest grandson Wuji gets older and has more experience, this plan becomes more and more mature. He can deduce many things from a sentence. Li Yanqing needs such a strategist, Du Ruhui and Xue Shu are not necessarily worse than the eldest grandson Wuji, but in a certain aspect, they are not as close as the eldest grandson Wuji and Yanqing. Not only brothers, but also in-laws. Especially with the birth of Li Zhou by Wuji, the relationship between Wuji and Yanqing has become more intimate. Many things, many words, Du Ruhui Xue collected these people wanted to say, but they might not dare to say it to Li Yanqing. But Mowgli is different, he can not have too many scruples.

Yan Qing said: "What do you think? ”

"Me?" Wuji thought for a while and said, "I thought that none of you would choose." ”

"Oh?"

"Test me, don't you?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Raise your current situation, which is different from those foreign ministers and relatives. You are a clan, which in itself is an umbrella.

I heard that the emperor and his uncle are like brothers. When my uncle was killed, the emperor concealed the news because of the overall situation, and he must feel guilty about you. As a clear stream, you will surely be recognized by many people for your great military exploits. At the same time, even if the emperor has any scruples about you, it is impossible to persecute you too much...... According to my speculation, the emperor asked you to go to Chang'an for no more than two purposes. First, your foundation in Heluo is too thick, and he needs to weaken your foundation in Heluo, so that he can control the Central Plains more firmly; Second, if you lose your foundation, the emperor will make corresponding compensation. If someone can help you, you will even be put in charge of the forbidden army...... And you are in Chang'an, the foundation is not solid, the emperor does not need to worry too much, even if you do something out of the ordinary in Chang'an, the emperor will open one eye and close one eye.

In such a situation, how can you make a choice with your surname? It is impossible to say that you have to go left and right, and then seek more benefits. ”

If it was when Li Yanqing was just reborn, he would have scoffed.

But when he found that he had unconsciously laid a solid foundation, and might even become his own faction in the DPRK, Li Yanqing's thoughts would naturally change. Li Er doesn't seem to be as powerful as he imagined; Li Jiancheng is not as mediocre as the history books say. Neither of these people seems to be worthy of their own attachment. And even if they cling to the past, the two of them will be suspicious. In that case, why take a stand? Sometimes, moderation is king.

At least for now, it was Li Yuan who was most powerful in Chang'an, not his sons......

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing!

The words of the eldest grandson Wuji hit his heart.

If he was a little hesitant to attach himself to Li Jiancheng before, then now, he has made a decision.

In his previous life, the sea was up and down, so that Yanqing had enough experience. Political struggles, sometimes not necessarily require a firm stance, more often than not, are constant exchanges and compromises. The person who often has the upper hand in the game will never easily show his position.

Especially when you have enough capital, balance is the most important.

"It's not early, let's rest early.

I've already asked the third brother to be informed, and he must have started to act. ”

With that, Li Yanqing got up and walked out of the room.

The eldest grandson Wuji let out a sigh of relief, lay down, and closed his eyes.

"Yangzhen, I know that you are not the kind of guy who is willing to be a minister...... Hehe, the situation now, and it depends on how you turn the clouds and rain. ”

——————————

Whether it is Li Yanqing or Li Shimin, they seem to have forgotten the conflict in Fengdu.

In the next few days, when they met, they talked and laughed, and did not mention the filthiness of the earlier days. Whether it was Qin Yong or the vast sea, he was not punished in any way. Generally speaking, Li Yanqing did not suffer much loss. The eldest grandson Wuji was beaten, Liang Laoshi broke his arm, Xiong Dahu broke his appearance, and the children of those old military households in Tianjin Bridge were more or less injured. In addition, there were almost 400 people in the Xingyang army who participated in the battle, of which more than 100 were wounded and three were seriously wounded, but none of them died as a result of the brawl.

On the Guanzhong side, Qin Yong was smashed by the majestic sea and the bridge of his nose was broken, and a guerrilla general was smashed to the shoulder bone.

Zhang Liang and Qin Wutong were slightly injured, but Zheng Dabiao also broke his skin...... Nearly 700 people participated in the battle of the Guanzhong Army, and more than 80 were wounded, which was less than that of the Xingyang Army. However, 12 people were seriously injured, and one person died on the spot, and the murderer could not be traced.

The people of Guanzhong don't look down on the people of Luoyang.

Since the Warring States period, the 800-mile Qinchuan River has been known for its bravery, while the Heluo region is relatively weak.

Through this brawl, the children of Guanzhong discovered a terrible thing. That is, the Xingyang army fought and was extremely fierce.

If they don't do it, it's just that, if they do it, they will die.

There is a way that is horizontal and afraid of being stunned, and being stunned is afraid of dying. The Guanzhong army was stunned, but the Xingyang army was one by one, but they didn't want to die.

Later, I learned from the mouths of others that the slogan of those Xingyang Army: Kill one to earn one, if you can't kill me, I will kill you.

This is the decency of Xingyang!

In the face of such a group of crazy people, the children of Guanzhong are also a little hairy.

It's just a fight, and if you die for this, you can't do it......

Especially after the New Year, there were several sporadic skirmishes between the two sides. Guan Zhongjun has found a problem! These Xingyang soldiers are very united. It is often a team that suffers a loss, a brigade helps, a brigade suffers, and a regiment helps. So much so that after the fight, those generals of the Guanzhong Army had to restrain their soldiers and horses: if you see the Xingyang army, it is best not to cause trouble and try to avoid it.

The clashes between a team and a brigade can still be controlled.

But if a regiment or an army clash, even if they agreed, they would not be able to please them. Everyone knows that the king of Henan is a person who protects calves. Before daring to face King Qin, Liu Wenjing's skin was open and blood flowed. Such an arrogant guy...... provoked the Xingyang army, and they brought the matter to the king of Henan, and the king of Henan might even lead people to the camp to take people directly.

But in this way, Guan Zhongjun's resentment in his heart can't help but be a little big.

"Your Highness, this Luoyang person is really too xenophobic!"

Liu Hongji couldn't help but scratch in front of Li Shimin: "Since the incident in Fengdu, the people of Luoyang have not been noses and faces are not faces. Many shops refuse to sell goods to us, and even when they go to the hook bar, when they hear Lao Tzu's accent, those little bitches dare to make a face. If it weren't for His Highness's strict order not to cause trouble, I would have smashed that restaurant yesterday. ”

Li Shimin's face sank, and he immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

He didn't expect that things would come to this point.

When he learned that Qin Yong had beaten the eldest grandson Wuji, he realized that things might not be good.

I didn't think that the situation would be so serious. Many local gentry in Luoyang have expressed their dissatisfaction to a greater or lesser extent. Even the Dou family, who has always been close to their own family, is very dissatisfied. After Li Shimin became the ruler of Luoyang, he originally wanted to use the children of the Dou family. The matter has been said, but after the eldest grandson Wuji was beaten, even Dou Kang's son Dou Shilun rejected his expedition. and vaguely told Li Shimin that the Luoyang gentry are now very dissatisfied with Li Shimin. In particular, Qin Yong, who provoked trouble, was safe and sound, which made many people unhappy.

Qin Yong, what kind of thing is that?

It's just that the descendant of an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty actually stirred up trouble on the street and beat the young son of the eldest grandson's family?

Where is the face of this world?

Even if the eldest grandson's family has declined, it was once the representative of the Luoyang Hao clan after all...... Moreover, Changsun Sheng is famous, and Li Yanqing's song "Out of the Stopper" has created Changsun Sheng's death, which is still respected by many people. Wuji was beaten, how can the famous general Heroic Spirit rest in peace?

Li Shimin is biased, and he can't be disposed of by Qin.

The killing of Wei Chigong has already made many people unhappy.

Qin Yong also wanted to regain face for Li Shimin. If Qin Yong is punished because of this, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers of Tiance Mansion?

Li Shimin is different from Li Jiancheng, he is just a prince.

It is not easy to get the support of the world. Even those descendants of the world who took refuge in him were mostly unvalued in the family, or distant relatives. Li Shimin's team is those cold warriors and those heroes who started from the grass.

If he disposes of Qin Yong, if he doesn't do it well, he will mess up his own fundamental ......

In short, Li Shimin is now in a dilemma, so he can only eat coptis dumbly and endure it. He hoped that time would be able to dilute the impact of this matter, but now it seems that things are not as smooth as he imagined.

"Your Highness, now that the battle in Luoyang has subsided, the battle of Jiangnan is also in full swing.

His Royal Highness should not live in Luoyang for a long time. It is imperative to report to Chang'an, requesting Chang'an to send officials to receive Luoyang as soon as possible, and then collect troops and return to Guanzhong. ”

On the Hanjia Palace, a man in a white robe with long flowing hair got up to speak.

Looking at his age, he is about fifty. The years have left obvious furrows on his face, but in those eyes, there is a fierce light.

His gaze was deep and wise, revealing a bit of desolation.

If you go back twenty years, this person must be a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

Li Shimin raised his head and said softly, "Just go back like this?" But it's ...... alone."

He suddenly slapped the armrest fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "But Gu Zhen is unwilling, so he loses to Li Yangzhen's guy!" ”

(To be continued)
