In order to facilitate Li Siyuan, Li Congjing's father and son to meet and narrate, there was no one else in the account at this time, only Li Congke and An Chongzhi were on the side.

After Li Congjing asked this sentence, the tent fell into silence for a while, and the atmosphere was even more solemn.

Where to go, this is a boulder hanging in everyone's hearts, whether it falls and where it falls, is undoubtedly related to the fate of everyone in the future.

Li Siyuan was silent for a long time, looked at Li Congjing, and asked, "What do I think my son should do?" ”

Li Congjing did not answer directly, but said: "The child has some doubts in his heart, and he has been there for a long time, and he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Li Siyuan looked directly into Li Congjing's eyes and said, "My son just has to talk about it." ”

"First, the late privy envoy Guo Chongtao, who has the talent of passing through the heavens and latitudes, first offered strange strategies, the Tang Dynasty was able to enter the Central Plains in Pingliang, and then with his leadership of the army to the west, Wang Shi was able to level the two rivers in March, so the princes of the world did not dare to look directly at my Tang Tianwei. May I ask my father, can Guo Gong be regarded as an important minister of the society? Li Congjing asked straight.

Guo Chongtao was sentenced for the crime of rebellion, and he was charged with death and was guilty, Li Congjing said at this time that he had an official position, and his words were respectful, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was naturally disrespectful to the dynasty.

Li Siyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Naturally." ”

"He is a major minister of the society and a great achievement, why did he die overnight?" Li Congjing asked.

Li Siyuan said in a deep voice: "The traitor slandered and confused the holy hearing, so he was punished!" ”

"Second, the child is puzzled, the pseudo-Liang thief will Duan Ning, when the soldiers are on the river, they have killed and injured a lot of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and they are the mortal enemies of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, why did the Tang Dynasty destroy the Liang, but did not see His Majesty to surrender, but gave the name and grace day by day?" Li Congjing asked again.

Li Siyuan took a deep breath, his eyebrows sank slightly, "Bribing the harem, flattering the king, and forming a party for personal gain, so he is favored." ”

"Third, since the Tang Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the world has been peaceful for a long time, why are the people still having a hard time making a living, selling children and daughters endlessly, the rich have no place to stand?" Li Congjing asked again.

Li Siyuan was slightly moved, his eyes showed hatred, "Those who hold power are lawless, have no people, and search for the people's fat and ointment to fatten themselves, and the people are not able to make a living!" ”

"Fourth, the child may ask his father, the Central Plains has been peaceful for several years, when people are at peace, why did the situation change abruptly, Kang Yanxiao, Zhao Zaili and others rebelled one after another, and the Central Plains was full of smoke? A few years ago, according to the pseudo-Liang in the south, Zhao Yan in Dongping, and Khitan in the north, wherever the king went, the people all ate pot pulp to welcome him, and now Ye has been a traitor for a long time. ”

Li Siyuan fell silent. After a long time, he raised his head and sighed, "There is the will of the people first, so the king is invincible in the east and west; Today, the people are unpopular because the soldiers are unwilling to fight, and the people are helping the thieves, and the chaos cannot be peaceful! ”

Li Congjing was also silent, and only sighed after half a sound: "I see! ”

Li Siyuan saw that Li Congjing had no intention of opening his mouth for a while, and because his previous words were a little heavy, he also fell into deep thought.

When Li Congjing and Li Siyuan were talking, as the topic deepened, Zhongmen envoy An Chongzhi kept frowning slightly, and at this time, he realized that his eyes couldn't help but light up. is not as good as Li Congke, An Chongzhi can be entrusted with the post of Zhongmen envoy, naturally he is a sensitive and meticulous person, and now he has tasted the connection between Li Congjing's four questions.

These four questions seem to be independent of each other, but in fact they are progressing step by step.

Li Congjing first borrowed Guo Chongtao's experience, which is very similar to Li Siyuan's current situation, to lead to Guo Chongtao's unjust death and Li Siyuan's predicament, because the court was full of traitors. The second question, borrowing the example of Duan Ning, asked where the traitor came from, and came to the conclusion that the traitor was connived at by the lord. The third question is to use the people's lives to show the dangers of traitors everywhere. The fourth question is the most critical, since the people are not living well, and the court has lost the support of the people, how can the world not be chaotic, and how can the country and society be stable?

These four questions are progressive, indicating a key problem: the monarch is mediocre, and the villain holds the authority, which causes the court to be corrupted, and today it is chaotic, and someone urgently needs to clean up the dynasty, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will die.

Thinking through the key, An Chongzhi couldn't help but wonder. Because according to the momentum of Li Congjing's four questions, he still has one last question to say.

The question that everyone is discussing at the moment is where Li Siyuan is going, and to answer this question, it is necessary that Li Congjing has not yet said the fifth question.

The fifth question is already on the horizon. Since the Tang Dynasty is about to die, someone urgently needs to save the society from peril and turn the tide of the tide, so who will play this role?

Naturally, it was Li Siyuan.

This not only answers the question of where Li Siyuan should go, but more importantly, through Li Congjing's words, Li Siyuan's next choice is endowed with a sense of righteousness and mission.

At the same time, these remarks also set the basic style for Li Siyuan to rectify the super-program and how to govern after he took power in the future.

Just imagine, since the current Tang Dynasty is in the dust, including Li Siyuan, is in danger, because the DPRK is full of villains and traitors, because the people have lost the hearts of the people, and because the people in the world are in turmoil, then in the future, Li Siyuan will be in power, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, will he need to be pro-virtuous and far away? Is it necessary to rectify the rule of officials? Is there a need to reinvent people's hearts? Is it necessary to work for the welfare of the people?

The answer is obvious.

Thinking of this, An Chongzhi was shocked, and his eyes changed when he looked at Li Congjing again.

When the matter is not raised, it is not worth fearing and awe, giving great righteousness to the matter, and establishing the style and sense of mission of the government in the future.

And Li Congjing is young, he can see the root cause of the chaos in the world, and he has the common people in his heart and has a sense of community, isn't it worthy of admiration?

An Chongzhi looked at Li Congjing again, but saw that the other party was still bowing his head and silent, and he had no intention of speaking again, so he couldn't help but be anxious and confused. Anxious because the fifth question is the most critical, it must be asked, what is puzzled is that looking at Li Congjing's appearance, it seems that there is no fifth question in his heart?

Li Siyuan and Li Congjing have their own concerns, An Chongzhi is entangled, and the only one present who doesn't have so many ideas is Li Congke. When he saw that he had said this, he knew that it was the right time to reach the critical point, but several people began to keep silent, and they couldn't help but be anxious.

Li Congke took a step forward, hugged his fists and said to Li Siyuan: "Father, Your Majesty was able to enter the Central Plains, and the Tang Dynasty was able to have the image of prosperity, which is not the work of one person, but the death of thousands of soldiers in exchange!" Over the years, you have led us to fight in the north and south, and it is also the credit of you and Congjing to break through the beams. How much effort you have in the Tang Dynasty, how many lives of your siblings, your father naturally knows best. At this time, father, can you bear to watch the Tang Dynasty go on like this? You can't bear to let the country we have fought down with great difficulty be buried in the hands of those traitorous villains? ”

After saying that, Li Congke suddenly felt comfortable, and was looking at Li Siyuan with expectation, but when he saw the eyes of Li Siyuan, Li Congjing, and An Chongzhi, they all looked at him.

Li Congke didn't know why, he immediately felt cramped, and he had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger out of thin air.

"What do you think you should do as a father?" Li Siyuan asked.

Everyone's eyes made Li Congke very uncomfortable, he swallowed his mouth and said, "Naturally, we want to save the Tang Dynasty." When these words came out, Li Congke suddenly gave birth to a heroic spirit out of thin air, then got up and bowed, and said loudly: "Father, for the Tang Dynasty, for the people of the world, please father Shuai Xingjun, Qingjun side!" ”

Li Congke is not a stupid person, so naturally he will not directly talk about the rebellion, so he has to find a good name.

Rao is like this, as soon as the three words "Qingjun side" are exported, it is still like setting off a monstrous wave. This means that the matter of raising troops has finally been raised directly and obviously.

"Qingjun is here," Li Siyuan was surprised and hesitated.

In the past few days, Li Siyuan has always been indecisive and refused to raise troops, as Li Siyuan's staff, An Chongzhi naturally knows the truth of both glory and loss, how can he not be anxious? At present, this fifth question was raised by Li Congke in another way, An Chongzhu knew that the time was ripe, and immediately bowed down and said: "Dashuai, the villain is in power, the society is covered with dust, so that the soldiers are centrifuged, thieves are everywhere, and the people are suffering. ”

Li Siyuan was in a dilemma, so much so that he wept and said: "My Li family is full of loyalty, who doesn't know, how can I do such an infamous thing?" ”

"The big marshal is ridiculous!" An Chongzhi said loudly, "Since ancient times, those who have served the people have enjoyed fame, and those who ignore the people have been infamous." Now tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty are in dire straits, and the handsome, as an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, has made outstanding achievements, is known as virtuous, and is admired by the world. At present, there are thieves everywhere, and the subjects of the world are all looking forward to it, hoping that the handsome Kuang will help Sheji! Once the handsome man holds high the banner of righteousness and waves his army to the south, the heroes of the world will surely gather in Jingcong! Dashuai, is it possible that at this time, Dashuai still has to ignore the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world? ”

Li Siyuan: "This"

Li Congjing finally bowed down and spoke, "The child is only obeyed by his father's order!" If the father wants to return to the court, the child should be bound to the palace gate with the father; But the child also asked his father to think of the common people in the world, Kuang Fu Sheji, and the child is willing to be a pioneer! ”

Hearing Li Congjing's words, An Chongzhi and Li Congke bowed again at the same time, "Please take the common people in the world as your mind, and help the community!" ”

Li Siyuan's face was full of emotion, he closed his eyes and groaned, and after a long time, he opened his eyes, his eyes were shining, "You have the heart to serve the country, how can I, Li Siyuan, ignore the lives of Li Min?" Since you are interested in supporting the community, I, Li Siyuan, cannot make the heroes of the world laugh. Helping everyone up, he said: "Immediately draft the text and spread it to the world, and we will raise the banner of righteousness and clear the king's side!" ”

An Chongzhi peeked at Li Congjing, and saw that the other party looked the same, and felt more and more puzzled.

In his opinion, Li Siyuan's raising of troops is almost a sure thing, because otherwise there will be no way to live. In this case, whoever is the first to say the fifth question is from the dragon's first gong. But Li Congjing gave this opportunity to Li Congke, and An Chongzhi couldn't help but think: Could it be that Li Congjing really didn't have the idea of persuading Li Siyuan to do something?

After thinking about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and An Chongyu's heart was shocked, and he immediately realized why this was.

Li Siyuan's actions, in the final analysis, are still rebelling against the dynasty, if Li Congjing takes the initiative to clearly raise this matter, doesn't it mean that he is suspected of having improper intentions? In the future, when Li Siyuan is in power, will he be suspicious of Li Congjing because of this? Today, Li Congjing can advise Li Siyuan to rebel, if the situation changes in the future, will he rebel himself?

As for Conglong's first skill, Li Congjing doesn't need it at all!

Because Li Congjing is the eldest son of Li Siyuan, with his past achievements, today's status, and his own talents, once Li Siyuan becomes the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Li Congjing is the heir without doubt! In that case, what is the use of him wanting this to be the head of the dragon?

Thinking of this, An Chongzhi understood why Li Congjing only brought a team of personal guards with him this time, and did not bring a hundred battle troops to come. Listening to what Li Congke said, it was the Junzidu who appeared outside Zhending City, and they all escorted the Cao family and others back to Youzhou at this moment. What Li Congjing did this time was to not show his back, so as to understand his heart!

Thinking about this, An Chongzhi subconsciously wanted to look at Li Congjing again, but he reacted in time and stopped stiffly.

Knowing that Li Congjing was so wise, An Chongzhi really didn't dare to go beyond the norm a little, so as not to be noticed by Li Congjing, so as to have a precautionary and vigilant mind against him, which would be unfavorable to the future.

The rapid turn of mind was just a moment, and An Chongzhu already felt that his back was cold and swishing. He thought to himself: This future prince is so difficult to deal with, in the future, you can get along with him, worship him, and have no crooked thoughts, etc., there is no room for the word "deal with" at all!

Immediately, Li Siyuan beat the drum and gathered the generals, and made the matter of raising troops public.

With An Chongzhu's thoughts, the generals have long hoped that Li Siyuan will raise troops, and now that Li Congjing is here, most of them speculate that after Li Siyuan and Li Congjing's father and son negotiate, they will follow the matter, and it is not surprising that this is the case now.

The next first task was to draft a document to explain to the world the righteousness of this uprising, so as to justify it. After that, it is necessary to discuss how to recruit troops, liaise with all parties, and determine the tactical plan and route of the march.

The matter of the text, Li Siyuan handed it over to the Zhongmen envoy An Chongzhu. An Zhongzhu's responsibility is unshirkable, and he naturally promises.

"At present, Xiangzhou has insufficient troops, and in order to occupy Daliang as a foundation, it is necessary to gather enough military strength first. The situation was urgent, and temporary recruitment was not the best strategy, and troops should be transferred from neighboring feudal towns. When discussing the strategic plan, Li Congjing said to Li Siyuan.

"Adjacent to the feudal towns, the two prefectures of Qi and Bei, the three towns of Taining, Tianping, and Pinglu, the soldiers and horses are slightly stronger, and they are the key combat forces, whether it is to advance as a help, or to stabilize the rear of the flanks, these forces need to be in their hands." Li Siyuan muttered, "I will immediately repair the book and pass it on, and I will meet with Li Shaoqian, the defense envoy of Qi Prefecture, Li Shaoying, the assassin of Beizhou, Li Shaoqin, the envoy of Taining Jiedu, and Fu Xi, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu. ”

"If you can get Qi and Beizhou, and the three towns of Taining, Tianping, and Pinglu can be annexed, it will not be difficult to occupy the main beam and control the surrounding areas." Li Shaozhen said.

An Chongzhi nodded and said, "What General Li said is true. It's just that although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in each town, they are also quite powerful, but they have to overcome the dangerous passes all the way and march to Luoyang, but they can't do it. The left archery army was scattered outside the city of Yedu, although some soldiers have been collected in these days, but the loss of combat power is too great, and the commander wants to achieve a great cause, and there is still a strong force as the backbone of the combat force. ”

After he said this, everyone fell into deep thought. In just a moment, all eyes converged on one person present. Everyone understands that only this person can be the backbone of the great cause.

It was this man who led this heroic division that had recently accomplished a feat that was impossible in the eyes of almost everyone. And it is precisely because of this feat that this person has become a hero in the eyes of many people, and it has also made this heroic division a model for the world's army.

They are famous all over the world, from the princes to the common people, almost everyone knows them

Early morning, mist.

Outside the barracks, Li Siyuan bid farewell to Li Congjing.

"After arranging all the matters, I will cross the river and march into Huazhou for my father, if everything goes well, the armies of Qi and Bei Erzhou, Taining, Tianping, and Pinglu will all go to Huazhou to meet with my father." The two stopped talking, and Li Siyuan spoke: "Youzhou is farther away, and when you lead the troops south, your father should have occupied the main beam." At that time, when the troops were sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital, it would be necessary to take the Hundred Battles Army as the vanguard. ”

The mist was wet, the rain and dew fell on his shoulders, Li Congjing said to Li Siyuan: "Father, don't worry, the child will not make a mistake." ”

"With Lu Long's own strength, thwart the Khitan's intention to destroy the Bohai Sea, with a little help, he can besiege the West Tower, force Yelu Abaoji to death, and force the Khitan to sign an alliance under the city, so what is your father worried about you." Li Siyuan's smile showed a look of relief, "Others don't know, for my father, for the head of the Han Dynasty, and I have a lot of dealings with the Khitan, so I can naturally understand the hardships involved." You can still win by fighting one land and one country, and you are the greatest confidence of the Father. ”

With a look of reminiscence, Li Siyuan said again: "How many years have I been calling ministers, paying tribute, and compensating for war losses, and the grassland is no longer a vassal to the Central Plains, and the tribute only exists in the historical records. When the first emperor was there, in order to stabilize the rear of the frontier and concentrate on dealing with Zhu Wen, he was forced to form a brotherly alliance with the Khitan, but in the end he was still betrayed by him and hated him to death. This time, you defeated the Khitan and made them have to bow their heads in front of my Central Plains Dynasty and be a man, which is really relieving and amazing! Even if you are my son, as a father, I will thank you for the Central Plains and the Han people. ”

The horse bowed his head steadily, his gas was calm, Li Congjing also remembered the past, he said: "Master is old and sick, let me guard Youzhou for many years, I have never lost, the child sits in Lulong instead of the master, and I am afraid that I will not be optimistic about the country for the Central Plains and let the master down." Fortunately, the sky lived up to people's wishes, and this time there was such a victory, and the Khitan would no longer have the power to offend for at least ten years. ”

Looking at the mountains and rivers of the earth, Qilu is on the other side of the river, and Huazhou and Yunzhou are not just a stone's throw away, Li Siyuan laughed, "In the first year of Tongguang, you and your father worked together as a pioneer, and when you attacked the pseudo-Liang, your father knew that you had great ambitions." On that day, you drank and talked about it, but you still remember it vividly. Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed, "I just never thought that in just four years, I would take the old road again for my father, but it is no longer a matter of things." ”

"Father doesn't have to worry about it, today's action is not because we don't want to be loyal ministers, it's really unpredictable, and we have to do this." Li Congjing comforted, "The world is big, but it is not as big as the common people; The weight of the emperor is not as important as that of Li Min. ”

Li Siyuan bowed his head and said: "You have heard about Lulong's political measures and father, and you can always remember the suffering of the people in your heart, and your father is very pleased." You have to remember that in the early years, we were also poor people, relying on lime on our backs, collecting horse manure, and helping each other to live with our neighbors. ”

"The child remembers." Li Congjing clenched his fists and said seriously.

Li Siyuan patted Li Congjing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, my father will send you here today, you go quickly, and my father will wait for you in Daliang." ”

"Take care, father."

Li Congjing rode on a horse, his posture was heroic, Li Siyuan stared at Li Congjing's distant back, and the smile on his face did not decrease.

In the past, you and my father and son were blood comrades.

Today, you and I, father and son, conspire with each other in the world.

In the future, you, my father and son will also bless the common people.

What a happy and heroic life!
