The two lives are human, and the joys and sorrows have long become very light for Li Yanqing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Life-and-death?

It seems to be used to it.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of heaven, no one can avoid it. The various experiences in his previous life also made Li Yanqing think that he could see through life and death.

In this life, he only has two relatives.

One is Zheng Sai An, who raised him single-handedly, and the other is Li Xiaoji, who has not lived with him for too long, but has given him flesh and blood. Unlike Zheng Shi'an, Lee Hyo-gi and Lee Yan-kyung did not live for long. Maybe it adds up, even less than a year. This also makes Li Yanqing's attitude towards Zheng Shi'an and Lee Hyo-gi completely different...... For Zheng Shi'an, Yanqing is open and undisguised; For Lee Hyo-gi, more often than not, it is a kind of restrained, subtle, and clear feelings that everyone knows in their hearts, but never says.

It's hard to say which is more important.

The moment Li Yanqing learned the bad news of Li Xiaoji, the whole person was stunned......

"Yangzhen? Raise the truth! ”

"Little demon, wake up quickly!"

A familiar call sounded in his ears, and Li Yanqing woke up from his coma.

It's still in the post station, it's still in the study. It's just that at this moment, the room is crowded with people, Duoduo, Wuji, Eldest Sun Wuji, Pei Xingyan, all gathered in the room, looking at him nervously.

Dou Wei and Yan Shigu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Li Yanqing wake up.

At the moment when Li Yanqing fainted, the hearts of both of them suddenly rose. If something really happens to Li Yanqing, then it will have a huge impact on the entire situation. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Xingzhou, if you don't get it right, the war will be rekindled.

Although the Zheng family has been attached to Li Tang, the real ruler of Xingzhou is Li Yanqing and his subordinates......

Not only Xingzhou will be chaotic, Hebei will also be chaotic, and Bashu will also be chaotic.

At that time, even if Li Tang could control the situation, he would inevitably pay a heavy price. To put it mildly, the overall situation of the world at this time is not in Chang'an, not in Luoyang, but only tied to Li Yanqing. So at this time, no one dares to slack off.

With a long sigh of relief, Li Yanqing got down from the bed with the support of his eldest grandson Wuji.

The head is still a little dizzy, and the body doesn't seem to have any strength, and even standing firm has become a problem. Li Yanqing shook his head vigorously and commanded softly: "Duoduo, you go back immediately, from now on, the Li Mansion will wear linen and filial piety, and prepare to open a mourning hall." ”

Duoduo had also learned the truth of the matter, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Pei Cuiyun is pregnant, and Mao Xiaonian is about to give birth. And although Wujian has recovered, her delicate surname really can't support the overall situation. When you think about it, only Duoduo is the most suitable. Duo Duoping said that he was quite prestigious in the Li Mansion, and he was very careful in doing things.

Li Yanqing waved his hand and motioned for the idlers to retreat, leaving only the eldest grandson Wuji and his siblings.

He looked at Dou Wei and Yan Shigu in a daze, and suddenly said, "Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, where are they now?" ”

"After the Battle of Baibi, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang fled to the Turks and took refuge in Ashina Lifu ......"

Ashina Lifu, also known as the current Turkic Luo Khan.

Shibi Khan died of illness in the middle of the year, and Ashina Lifu succeeded him as Khan. Li Yanqing also heard the news at the time, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Ashina Lifu is not as good as Shibi Khan, whether in terms of ambition or ability, he is far inferior, so he didn't take it to heart.

Knowing that Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang had fled to the Turks, Li Yanqing looked indifferent and bowed his head slightly.

"Gong Dou, Yan Shilang, my mind is confused, I really can't talk to the two of you, I will say goodbye first, please forgive me."

With that, he took a step and wanted to leave.

But his legs were weak, and the dizziness of the world was swirling, which made Li Yanqing shake slightly. Wujian hurriedly reached out to help, but was rejected by Yanqing. He gritted his teeth and walked downstairs step by step. walked out of the post gate all the way, and with the help of Liu Qing, he turned over and got on the horse.

If in normal times, just get on the horse, why do you need help.

It's just that at this time, Yan Qing has already messed up. He knew that he couldn't be chaotic at this time, and if he was chaotic, Xingzhou would be chaotic.

"Mowgli!"

"Lord Wang."

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji put Wuji in the carriage, he heard Li Yanqing's call.

hurriedly stepped forward and said softly: "The prince just rest assured, I have made arrangements in the city, and there will never be a half-point difference." However, Luoyang ......"

"You come to Shen Guang immediately, I have something to tell him.

As for Luoyang, I won't go. In the past two days, I will rush to Chang'an, and after reporting to the clan, I will try to move my father's coffin to Tianling Mountain.

Also, send someone to greet Hou Dou Gong and Yan Shilang, and tell them that I will go to Chang'an with him at the latest. ”

"Yes!"

Wuji also knows that letting Li Yanqing go to Luoyang again at this time is tantamount to being difficult for a strong man.

Looking at his current condition, the whole person has lost his square inch. Even if you go to Luoyang, it is difficult to have any use. It's better to leave it to Du Ruhui to make his own decision. As for Li Yanqing's arrangements in Luoyang City...... Since Shen Guang is called, it must be handed over to Shen Guang.

******

Wang Shichong was wearing a black dragon robe and sat in the empty Hanjia Palace.

Just now, when he was discussing with the courtiers how to defend Luoyang and how to hold out for three months, he made a detailed report: Li Yanqing returned to Gongxian at noon.

Hanjiadian, which was originally quite orderly, suddenly became a pot of porridge like a fried pot.

Li Yanqing is back!

This means that the war in Hebei is over...... Dou Jiande, Yu Wenhua and, it's over!

The news of Dou Jiande's death has not yet reached Luoyang. Although they all know that he was defeated in Yecheng and trapped in Yongnian County by Li Yanqing, as long as Dou Jiande is not dead, the Hebei war will not end for a while. The war in Hebei is not over, and Luoyang still has a glimmer of life.

But now......

Li Yanqing is back, so next, he will inevitably target Luoyang.

Looking at the ministers and workers in Luoyang, more or less, they have a trace of fear of Li Yanqing. Especially Wang Shichong's right-hand men, they know better. Yang Gongqing, Zhang Zhenzhou, and Shan Xiongxin have all had confrontations with Li Yanqing. In addition, Duan Da and Baye Gang died in battle as early as when Du Ruhui attacked Yanshi, and the rest of the military ministers had also heard of it, and even learned Li Yanqing's methods.

Yan Qing attacked Yanshi twice, which made Luoyang panic.

Now, he's back...... After the big victory over Dou Jiande, Yu Wei returned to Gong County. So next, can Luoyang hold on any longer?

Everyone had no intention of discussing it any further, and Wang Shichong was even more confused.

After he drove the minister of civil and military affairs away, he stayed alone in Hanjia Palace. A few hours ago, he was still swearing, arrogantly assuring everyone that Luoyang Jiancheng was enough to resist Li Tang for half a year. As long as they can hold on for three months, they still have a chance.

But now, the high-spirited words still seemed to echo over the main hall, but as if they were mocking.

Li Shimin?

Wang Shichong is not afraid.

A half-grown boy, relying on the shadow of his father.

But Li Yanqing ......

Endless unwillingness suddenly arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and slammed it on the armrest of the dragon bed.

"I'm unwilling, I'm unwilling!"

Yes, life is always so wonderful.

If you haven't been an emperor, you'll never know what it's like to be on top. After tasting the taste of power, how can he be willing to let him bow down and be a subordinate?

Besides, he has only been emperor for two years, and he hasn't tasted enough of it.

But Wang Shichong knew better that if Li Yanqing came to supervise the battle in person, then Luoyang would inevitably be more auspicious. Li Yanqing's reputation in Luoyang is very high, and he has a wide range of contacts. From the gentry of the world to the pawns of the peddlers, they all seem to have a good impression of him. Li Shimin has no foundation in Heluo, but Li Yanqing has a deep foundation. If he really came to Luoyang, how long would Luoyang be able to hold on?

"Your Majesty!"

Outside the main hall, an extremely feminine voice came.

Wang Shichong looked up, but saw a white-faced, beardless, black-clothed man standing at the door of the main hall, looking at him with concern.

"Renze, come in."

The white-faced bearded man is none other than Wang Renze.

He crossed the threshold, walked into the main hall, glanced around the empty hall, and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you still worried about Li Wei?" ”

Wang Shichong motioned for him to sit down on His Majesty Dan and sighed.

"I want to fight, but in Luoyang City, there is not a single man with a blood surname.

only heard that Li Yanqing had returned to Gong County, and they panicked one by one. I have the heart to fight to the death with that Li Tang, but there is no one available in my hands. ”

No matter how panicked he was, he refused to admit defeat at all.

How could Wang Renze not see Wang Shichong's thoughts, he knew that Wang Shichong didn't have the confidence to fight Li Tang at all now.

Since there is no intention of a decisive battle, let's surrender with the surname Suo......

Wang Ren said: "Your Majesty ......"

"Renze, there are no outsiders here, don't call me like that anymore, I still like to hear you call me my uncle."

Wang Ren confessed, and then said: "Uncle, Li Yanqing's return also means that the war situation in Hebei has ended. Even if there is still sporadic resistance, it is difficult to resist Li Tang's army. Li Yanqing's return is a small matter, if Li Tang fights hard, can Luoyang survive? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard. ”

Wang Shichong has been able to reach this position today, but he is not completely capable.

At least this ability to judge the situation can be regarded as a first-class one. It's just that although he knows that the general trend has gone, he always feels a little unwilling in his heart.

The current situation is that there is no need for Li Tang to do his best.

As long as the soldiers and horses sent to Hebei by Li Shentong return, Luoyang is basically gone.

Xiao Sui (that is, Empress Dowager Xiao) and Hou Liang soldiers marched into the Central Plains in three ways, and Li Tang was indeed at a disadvantage. The main reason for this is that because of the Hebei war situation, Li Shentong's soldiers and horses were dragged. originally thought that Dou Jiandeyu would be able to compete for a little bit of culture and support it for half a year, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, he was beaten by Li Yanqing and collapsed. If Li Shentong frees his hand, he is only afraid of the reinforcements from the three routes in the south of the Yangtze River, and he will immediately collect his troops and return. Without three-way reinforcements, what is the use of Luoyang holding on for three months or half a year?

Wang Ren said: "My nephew often hears people say that if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.

Uncle is now a tiger in Pingyang, and he still needs to be patient. We are different from Dou Jiande's old rough embryo, and we are not like Yu Wenhua and the murder of kings. In fact, uncle, you were forced by Emperor Sui. In addition, there is the Wang family behind us, and Li Tang can't help his uncle.

Uncle, as long as there is still a breath, there will be a comeback. It's really not good, and Li Yuan's old man can't snub his uncle.

I heard that Wang Qi of the South Room is now a concubine in Zuochunfang, the mansion of Prince Li Tang, and is quite trusted by Prince Li Tang; And the Dragon Gate King Bai Niu is working in Tiance Mansion, and now he is outside Luoyang City. Uncle can contact them, at least to keep him safe for the rest of his life.

But if Li Yanqing comes, he will really break through Luoyang...... Then Uncle will be in a difficult position. ”

"This ......"

Wang Shichong fell into deep thought.

Indeed, Li Yanqing and Li Shimin are different.

Li Shimin may be able to accept his surrender, but Li Yanqing is unlikely.

Wang Shichong knew that Li Yanqing had sworn in front of Yang Tong's grave to avenge Yang Dong. That's a man who does what he says, as soon as he ......

"Ren Ze, let me think again, think again."

Wang Ren didn't persuade again, just sat quietly on His Majesty.

His heart was also full of despair, but he could still distinguish the severity. If Wang Xuanying was here, I am afraid that he would not agree to Wang Renze's surrender. After all, from the identity of the crown prince, he suddenly became a prisoner, and this difference in status will make some people resolutely oppose it.

But uncle, your time is running out!

Outside the main hall, it was very quiet.

The Diao Bangbang Bangbang in the imperial city sounded, and before I knew it, it had reached the second watch.

Suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and the crown prince Wang Xuanying led a group of people and ran into the main hall in a panic.

"Father, father...... Big things are wrong! ”

Wang Shichong was furious and shouted: "Panic, what happened?" ”

"Father, Jin Yongcheng, Jin Yongcheng was broken, Yang Gongqing and General Yang were killed by the rebels, and Shan Tong was also captured by Li Tang......"

Wang Shichong's head buzzed, and his eyes widened in horror.

A few hours ago, Yang Gongqing and Shan Tong were still discussing in the main hall, how could they ...... all of a sudden

"How did Jinyong City break? What happened here? ”

"It was two hours ago.

It is said that it was Niu Jinda, the deputy general of Jin Yongcheng, who secretly returned to Li Tang in Shunli, and as soon as General Yang and General Shan Tong returned, they were killed by Niu Jinda and others, and the city surrendered. Father, the Golden Yong City must not be lost, we must take it back as soon as possible, otherwise a catastrophe will inevitably come. ”

What a fool, this catastrophe was already coming when Li Yanqing returned to the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Shichong couldn't help clenching his fists, eager to slap Wang Xuanying to death. At this time, what did Lao Tzu regain Jinyong City?

"I know...... You step back first. ”

"But ......"

"I'll tell you to step down, and I won't get out of here!"

Wang Shichong was furious and stood up.

Although Wang Xuanying was unwilling, when he saw that his father was angry, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to retreat stupidly.

"Uncle, Jin Yongcheng is broken, and I don't have much time to wait; If Gucheng is broken again, even if his uncle is willing to surrender at that time, Li Shimin is afraid that he may not agree.

Where to go, my uncle still needs to make a decision early. ”

Wang Shichong seemed to have been drained of the ball, and sat on the dragon bed with his buttocks.

After a long time, he said softly: "Ren Ze, you go and invite your third uncle over...... You're right, as long as I'm alive, there will be a time to make a comeback. ”

******

Yan Qing was dressed in plain clothes and sat in the bamboo building in the backyard of the Li Mansion.

With a hard pen in his hand, he concentrated on sketching on the paper. A portrait gradually becomes clear with the appearance of lines.

That's Lee Hyo-gi's portrait!

Yan Qing relied on his memory to draw a picture for Lee Hyo-gi.

Li Xiaoji in the painting, dressed in a green shirt and fluttering clothes, looks like a fairy. However, if you look closely, you may find that Lee Hyo-gi in the painting looks very young, as if he is about thirty years. For Yan Qing, Li Xiaoji's deepest impression is his impression in the Dou family school. When he returned to the mansion and wanted to paint a portrait of his father, the memories of his childhood suddenly appeared clearly in his mind.

Looking at Li Xiaoji in the painting, Yan Qing's eyes couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"Dad, you bless the child in the spirit of heaven, one day, set the horse to step on the north, capture Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingangsheng alive, and cut them with a thousand knives."

He muttered to himself, then picked up Lee Hyo-gi's portrait.

"Liu Qing, go and frame this portrait, tomorrow morning, I will leave for Chang'an."

Liu Qing agreed, walked into the bamboo building, carefully picked up the portrait, and hurriedly got up.

Li Yanqing walked out of the hall, stood barefoot on the porch, and stood with his hands in his hands. The wind is a little cold, but it seems to have a bit of spring warmth.

He raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky, and his thoughts in his heart were extremely chaotic.

Li Yuan went a little too far!

He even hid the news of his father's death for a whole year......

Dad must be very unhappy under Jiuquan, maybe he is scolding me for being an unfilial son, but he didn't keep filial piety for him. However, Li Yanqing also knew that at this time last year, Li Yuan was also forced to do so. He was afraid that the news of Li Xiaoji's death would make him lose his proportions, and he might even throw away Xingyang's foundation. But no matter what, what he did was against human ethics after all.

Touching his forehead, Li Yanqing really didn't know what kind of mood he should use to face Li Yuan after arriving in Chang'an?

"Lord Wang!"

Liang Laoshi came to the bamboo building and saluted respectfully.

Now the Li Mansion is all wearing linen and filial piety for Li Xiaoji.

Duoduo set up a mourning hall in the house, and as soon as the morning dawned, the gentry of Gong County got the news and came to mourn. It is estimated that more people will come to pay their respects in a while. However, this real funeral will not officially begin until Li Yanqing welcomes Li Xiaoji's coffin back from Chang'an.

Therefore, the condolences in the early stage were not very busy.

Li Yanqing said: "Honest, what's the matter? ”

"Chai Gong came to condole, saying that there is something important and he knows with the prince."

"Let him come."

"Whoa!"

Liang Laoshi turned around and left, and after a while, he took Chai Xiaohe, who was dressed in plain clothes, to the outside of the bamboo building. Li Yanqing beckoned Chai Xiaohe to sit down, and said softly: "Chai Gong, my father has died, I need to go to Chang'an and welcome my father's coffin as soon as possible." During this time, it may be a lot of trouble for you. Wuji is afraid that he can't greet him, so please help me with one or two, and by the way, take care of Gongxian County. ”

"This humble duty, the lord doesn't need to worry about Gong County."

Chai Xiaohe did not call Li Yanqing the prince, as before, he called Yanqing the lord.

Li Yanqing didn't let him change his words, nodded, and stopped talking.

Chai Xiaohe hesitated, got up and said, "Xiaohe came today, first, to mourn King Yong in advance." After the coffin of King Yong arrived, Xiaohe was afraid of the inconvenience...... Another thing, Xiaohe didn't know how to talk about it, so he was a little hesitant all the time. ”

"Chai Gong, if you have something to say, you might as well say it."

Chai Xiaohe thought about it and finally made up his mind.

"My lord, Xiaohe has been receiving the power of the white-clothed Maitreya in Hebei recently.

Wen Yudong has returned to the Qilin Stage, and as the battle situation in Hebei gradually calms down, the Qilin Station has covered most of Shandong with the help of the white-clothed Maitreya. Last night, he inadvertently talked about King Yong with Cui Cheng, the envoy of the Hebei Dharma Altar, and said that King Yong did not die at the hands of Liu Wuzhou. ”

Li Yanqing had been sitting on the Taishi chair weakly, and when he heard this, he raised his head.

"What did you say?"

"Cui Cheng said that King Yong was not killed by Liu Wuzhou."

Cui Cheng was originally an old minister of the Sui Dynasty, the son-in-law of Jizhou Thorn Shi Lu Ling, and at the same time the messenger of the white-clothed Maitreya. Duoduo first contacted the protector Longqi of the white-clothed Maitreya Xiangzhou altar through Xu Xingbo, and then got in touch with Wen Yudong of the Hebei altar through Longqi.

At first, Wen Yudong didn't seem to be too active in attaching himself, but after Li Yanqing defeated Dou Jiande in Yecheng, Wen Yudong sensed that the situation was unstable, so he quickly sent Cui Cheng to contact. It's just that Li Yanqing is hidden in the shadows, and Wen Yudong only knows the existence of Duoduo, and also knows that behind Duoduo, there is the background of Li Tang's official mansion. But which one exactly? He didn't know, including Long Qi, and he didn't know.

In the past few months, Qilintai has been busy consolidating the power of the white-clothed Maitreya.

Chai Xiaohe said: "King Yong was killed, although it was related to Liu Wuzhou, but it was not done by Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang.

At that time, Cui fulfilled the order of Dou Jiande and went to the Turks to collude with Ashina Lifu. It was also by accident that I learned the real culprit. ”

"Who's the real culprit?"

Yan Qing's handsome face revealed a hideous color.

He asked a little impatiently: "Chai Gong, just tell me, which one is the real murderer?" ”

Cui Cheng said that at that time, King Yong was the governor of Shaanzhou, and as soon as he arrived in Shaanzhou, he learned the news that Jiexiu had been broken, and hurriedly raised troops to rescue.

On the way to Jiexiu, he was attacked by Song Jingang's ambush...... The one who killed King Yong was a powerful general under the command of Song Jingang, Wei Chi Jingde. ”

Wei Chi Jingde, Wei Chi Gong?

Li Yanqing was stunned, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is this true?" ”

"The white-clothed Maitreya and Yu Chi Jingde said that they had no grievances from afar, and they said that they had no enmity from afar. That Cui Cheng didn't know Wei Chi Jingde, so it was impossible to frame him. But ......"

Before Chai Xiaohe's words fell, Li Yanqing stood up and strode out of the door.

"Liang is honest, immediately let the four of Xiong Kuohai light up the Wansheng army and gather outside the city."

"Lord, where are you going?"

"Go find that Wei Chi Jingde!"

"Do you know where Yu Chi Jingde is now?"

Li Yanqing stopped, and Jun's face was covered with a thick layer of murderous intent. He looked at Chai Xiaohe, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, of course I know where the dog thief is now." ”

Chai Xiaohe couldn't help but be stunned......

(To be continued)
