The impact of the brawl between the two armies in Luoyang is far from stopping at Luoyang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After the New Year's sacrifice ceremony, Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took the lead in attacking the court and impeached Li Yanqing for being arrogant and disrespectful.

"The king of Henan is proud of his clan status.

first had the crime of resisting the order and not coming to Chang'an, and then at the foot of Jingzi Mountain, he killed the general in the army for his own selfishness. After the pacification of Luoyang, he was even more arrogant in supporting the army, instigating the Luoyang gentry to make trouble, and even ordered the merchants of Luoyang to strike the market in order to squeeze out the King of Qin. This is a great rebellion, not done by human ministers, and should be beheaded according to the law. Otherwise, after a long time, everyone will follow the example of the king of Henan, where will Your Majesty's face remain, and where will the majesty of the court be? ā€

Liu Zhenghui is an old minister of Taiyuan Yuan, and he has followed Li Yuan loyally since he took charge of Taiyuan.

At the same time, he is also a son of the Liu clan in Tang County, Hebei Province, and it is said that his distant ancestor, Liu Lei, of the Yulong clan can be traced back to the Tang Yao period, as the ancestor.

Although it is now in decline, it is still a big family.

When Liu Zhenghui was in Taiyuan, he was quite fond of Li Shimin. In history, this person is ranked twenty-first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, still above Xu Shiji. He was in the Hall of Martial Virtue, with a beard and a roar full of righteous indignation, not afraid of Li Yuan's gloomy face at all.

Liu Zheng's voice did not fall, and one person walked out of the courtiers, it was one of the old ministers of Taiyuan Yuan, Pei Lian.

Liu Shangshu opened his mouth to be rebellious, and he closed his mouth and followed the law.

However, His Majesty entered the twelve laws established by Chang'an, and the king of Henan committed geometry? Pei Lin doesn't know how to judge the disrespect of the will, but I know that killing people pays for their lives, which is the duty of the Son of Man. If the king of Henan really ignores it, I am afraid that you will jump out again and impeach the king of Henan is contrary to the way of humanity...... And arrogance? If it weren't for the fact that the king of Henan occupied Xingyang and opened the Central Plains for the imperial court, I am afraid that the current war situation in the Central Plains would still be confusing. Henan Wang's young man's surname, although he is a little impulsive, in my opinion, it is reasonable.

When Liu rebelled against the rebellion, if Lord Liu insisted on Jinyang, would Ling Gongzi be happy with the enemy who killed his father? ā€

When Song Jingang conquered Jiexiu, Liu Zhenghui was captured by Liu Wuzhou.

After the Battle of Baibi, Liu Wuzhou was defeated, and Liu Zhenghui and another old minister, the former Sima of Shaanzhou, such as Shi Tangjian, the governor of today's policy, were released by Wei Chigong.

Pei Lian's words were vicious, pointing directly at Liu Zhenghui's weakness.

King Yong can still die in battle and martyrdom, and you, Liu Zhenghui, as an old minister, are still alive...... God knows what's wrong with that.

Liu Zhenghui heard this, and his face turned red.

Pointing at Pei Lone, he said, "Pei Xuanzhen, you are so bloody that you are spurting blood." ā€

"Where am I spewing blood? It's just a hypothesis.

Your Majesty, the king of Henan has made outstanding contributions, and his biological father died in Shaanzhou, but he must not take revenge. The surname of the king of Henan is pure filial piety, which is known to the world. When his adoptive grandfather died, he was able to resign from his good future and keep filial piety in Tianling Mountain for three years. Now that his biological father has been killed, it is reasonable for him to avenge his father. His behavior was reckless, but it was not unforgivable...... However, what Lord Liu said is not unreasonable. The king of Henan violated the holy will, but he immediately came to Chang'an and fined him for one year, so that he could think behind closed doors. ā€

Pei Lin cleverly replaced the disrespect of the will with a violation of the holy will, and its meaning is very different.

Resisting the will is a capital offense; Contrary to the holy will, it can be said that Li Yanqing did not understand, or misunderstood Li Yuan's meaning. One has the heart and the other has no intention, so naturally they can't say the same.

Of course, Li Yuan knew the difference between these two words, and pushed the boat down the river and said: "What Xuan Zhen said is extremely true, and it should be so. ā€

Although Liu Zhenghui was dissatisfied, he did not dare to jump out and accuse again. That Pei Lin is a sharp-toothed guy, and he has a clear attitude to defend Li Yanqing. Is he the one who makes the claim? Or was it instructed by Li Yuan? Liu Zhenghui is unknown. But he knew that if he continued to pursue it, he was afraid that it would make things more complicated. If you don't get it right, the finger will be pointed at you.

Liu Zhenghui retreated, but the eldest grandson Shunde stood up.

I saw him kneel on the spot all of a sudden, present his hands to the fold, and cry with his head to the ground: "Please make the decision for the old minister." ā€

"Xue Guogong, what are you doing?"

"Lao Chen received a letter from the Luoyang family yesterday, and my nephew's eldest grandson, Wuji, made a family relationship with Xue Daoheng's daughter Xue Ying. Some time ago, when Wuji was buying a bride price on the street, he was besieged by the Tiance Mansion generals, and he was seriously injured and has not been able to stay so far. ā€

"Mowgli?"

Li Yuan was stunned, "But Ji Sheng's descendants?" ā€

"It's Ji Sheng's young son."

"He is beset to marry the daughter of the Xue family?"

"Exactly!"

In the court, the ministers who were originally inclined to the Tiance Mansion couldn't help frowning.

Xue Daoheng is indeed a cold corpse, but his reputation in Shilin is still loud. Xue Daoheng took great care of his scholars before his death, and many people in this court have been guided by Xue Daoheng. The eldest grandson Shunde said that the eldest grandson was the first family, which was actually equivalent to uniting the Xue clan in Hedong and seeking justice from Li Yuan. Both of these are very human. But an eldest grandson is a headache, plus the Xue family...... Li Yuan had to be comforted by gentle words, and promised that he would return justice to the eldest grandson Wuji.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan suddenly asked, "What does the prince think, how to deal with this matter?" ā€

Li Jiancheng thought for a while, "Erlang captured Luoyang, and now he needs to stabilize the situation. Since he had a conflict with Yangzhen, it was better for his father to issue an edict and order Yangzhen to come to Chang'an immediately. Lord Liu is right, if Yangzhen stays in Luoyang, I am afraid that the conflict with Erlang will be deeper, so it is better to let him go back to Chang'an to stabilize the situation in Luoyang. Now that Xiao Yang is united in Jiangnan, Luoyang should not be chaotic anymore......"

After speaking, Li Jiancheng bowed and retreated.

Judging from the current situation in Luoyang, it is difficult for Li Yanqing and Li Shimin to coexist.

The dispute between the two is really too big, and if they continue to stay in Luoyang, they are afraid that the situation will become more serious. However, should Li Shimin come back, or let Li Yanqing come back? Li Yuan has not yet made up his mind. Li Jiancheng suggested that Li Shimin stay in Luoyang, but Li Yuan was worried that Li Shimin would not be able to control the situation...... After all, Li Shimin has now offended the gentry of Luoyang, and if he stays in Luoyang, he is afraid that it will cause more conflicts. But Li Jiancheng loves his brother's heart, and Li Yuan is still very happy. In contrast, the heroic but aggressive Li Shimin seemed to lack enough respect for Li Jiancheng, which made Li Yuan unhappy.

"Rong Zhen will think about this matter again."

"Your Majesty, who will stay in Luoyang between the King of Qin and the King of Henan can not be decided for the time being.

However, now that the situation in Luoyang has been decided, officials need to be dispatched as soon as possible. As long as the imperial court appoints officials, there will be a turn of events. Otherwise, if it is delayed any longer, the King of Qin and the King of Henan will both be at a prosperous age, and if there is a conflict, it will definitely cause chaos. ā€

In fact, the stability of Luoyang is also extremely important to Guanzhong.

If the materials of the Central Plains are transported to Guanzhong, they must be transferred from Luoyang; And the Central Plains, the wealth export of Guanzhong, must also pass through Luoyang.

The gap between the two armies is deep, and gathering in one place will inevitably lead to turmoil, and it is necessary to calm down as soon as possible.

In the next step, Li Tang's goal will be in Jiangnan. Therefore, the calm of Luoyang has become the key to ensuring the battle of reunification.

"Who do you think can be appointed to Luoyang?"

"The military department is still the most suitable."

Historically, Qu Tutong joined forces with Li Shimin to pacify Wang Shichong. It was in that battle that Qu Tutong and Li Shimin formed a friendship. However, now, Qu Tutong is left behind in Hedong, and in comparison, he has more contacts with Li Jiancheng. But he is not Li Jiancheng's line, but more loyal to Li Yuan. Therefore, when Li Jiancheng recommended Qu Tutong, Li Yuan responded without hesitation.

"Big brother, didn't you say that you want to win over that Li Yangzhen? Why do you want the second brother to stay in Luoyang in the court? ā€

After the court meeting, Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace.

Li Yuanji, the seventeen-year-old king of Qi, caught up with Li Jiancheng and marched in line.

The guard consciously took twenty steps back to facilitate the conversation between the two brothers.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Sanhu, do you think that if Yangzhen leaves Luoyang, Erlang will be able to sit firmly in Luoyang?" ā€

"Is it ......?"

"Erlang's current situation is not just a conflict with Yangzhen. He beat the eldest grandson Wuji, which is equivalent to a rift with Luoyang Shixuan. If he wants to stay in Luoyang, he must hand over the murderer who beat the eldest grandson Wuji, otherwise he will not be able to gain a foothold in Luoyang at all.

With Erlang's surname, do you think he will bow to those gentlemen? ā€

Li Yuanji stroked Qing's chin, and smiled, "The second brother's surname is hard, I'm afraid he won't bow his head." ā€

"If he doesn't look down, the more trouble it will be.

Even with the help of Qu Tutong, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Moreover, I hope that Yangzhen will take over Beiya, and now is a great time.

When Erlang can't stay in Luoyang and comes back, he will find that the overall situation of Chang'an has been decided, and it will be difficult for him to toss any storms. Besides, Erlang is my own brother, and although Yangzhen is also a brother in my clan, compared to Erlang, after all, there is still a layer of relationship, right? ā€

Li Jiancheng changed his words, and Li Yuanji didn't react at once.

Li Jiancheng's hand is very beautiful. Zi said that he was a brother and a brother and a brother, and he was biased towards Li Shimin, and he had nothing to say in the eyes of outsiders. Not only can Li Shimin get into trouble, but also win a good reputation and get Li Yuan's appreciation, why not?

Li Yuanji came to his senses after a moment and stroked his palms.

"Big brother, it's really smart!"

He took a few steps and caught up with Li Jiancheng.

The two whispered as they walked towards the East Palace. Just when the two of them were about to arrive at the East Palace, an attendant suddenly came running from behind, panting and said, "Prince, Your Majesty has urgent business, please go to the stadium pavilion immediately to discuss matters." ā€

The stadium pavilion is located in Miyagi Nishien.

Li Jiancheng was stunned and said, "What did my father recruit me?" ā€

"The King of Qin presents the chapter, please return to Chang'an, so please ask the prince to go."

"Erlang wants to return to Chang'an?"

Li Jiancheng frowned, and said in his heart: It seems that Erlang has become much calmer than before, and he can know the word abandonment, but it is not easy!

On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the third year of ―――――――――――― Wude, Li Yanqing picked up his family from Gong County and arrived in Luoyang.

Xiao Nian gave birth to a daughter at the beginning of the first month, named Yuzhen. Li Yanqing originally planned to stay in Gongxian County and wait for Xiao Nian's body to recover before leaving, but he didn't want Chang'an to have a holy decree conveyed, Li Yanqing had to rush back to Luoyang immediately to receive the order, so he had to leave and return in advance.

Pei Cuiyun's body is inconvenient, but she can still move.

So after some discussion, Pei Cuiyun's eldest grandson Wujian and others moved their families to Luoyang.

However, the old mansion in Gongxian County cannot be discarded, and no one dares to invest in it. After Yan Qing thought about it, the surname Suo changed the old mansion to the Qilin Courtyard and used it as the palace. Since Luoyang has been pacified, Dr. Xu Wenyuan of the Qilin Pavilion decided to return to Luoyang. It is not easy to find a suitable person to replace the Kirin Pavilion. In addition, the attractiveness of Luoyang is far from being comparable to Gongxian County. Even though Gong County has expanded a lot now, in terms of fame, many people are still willing to choose Luoyang instead of Gong County.

Just move the Qilin Pavilion to Luoyang!

After discussing with Chai Xiaohe, Li Yanqing made up his mind.

Although Gong County is good, it is not as prosperous as Luoyang after all. Qilintai is hidden in Luoyang, and more intelligence and information can be gathered...... Besides, the two white-clothed Maitreya protectors of Yingzhou (that is, Hejian County of the Sui Dynasty) Wen Yudong are ready to come to meet Duoduo. The location of Gong County is too obvious, and it is easy for people to guess the existence of Li Yanqing. But if it is placed in Luoyang, it can better cover up Li Yanqing's identity. This is also a bit more secure and more appropriate for Kirintai.

It's just that the relocation of the Kirin Pavilion is not an easy task.

Li Yanqing left Chai Xiaohe to be fully responsible, and then the family arrived in Luoyang.

"Let me stay in Luoyang?"

After Li Yanqing received the holy decree, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

In his opinion, Li Yuan should not leave him in Luoyang, but should be transferred back to Chang'an.

But now, the holy decree said that he was ordered to stay in Luoyang, assist Qu Tutong to calm the situation in Luoyang, and make sure that the Luoyang trade route was kept unblocked.

Li Shimin was ordered to return to Chang'an and make other arrangements...... "Your Majesty, can you rest assured of me?" ā€

"Ha, don't worry, it's not necessarily!" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Didn't you see that this holy decree says to stay in Chang'an and assist Qu Tutong?"

If you really rest assured, at least you should be given the position of a great general.

No matter how bad it is, it should have the identity of a big platform. But now...... Although you are the king of Henan, you have no soldiers and no generals in your hands, and you have no real power. I estimate that the reason why His Majesty arranged it this way is probably due to the factor of King Qin. King Qin was in Luoyang, and it was difficult to gain a firm foothold.

If the emperor transfers you away, it will make the Luoyang gentry dissatisfied, and the King of Qin will be even more embarrassed. But now that the King of Qin has been transferred, to a certain extent, His Majesty is also bowing his head to Luoyang Shixuan...... If you think about it, after all, King Qin was the hero of the attack on Luoyang, so it is reasonable to let him stay. Now, King Qin has returned to Chang'an! If the Luoyang gentry continues to investigate, I am afraid that they will face a strong blow. ā€

The eldest grandson Wuji's analysis, Li Yanqing also felt quite reasonable.

That's right, on the surface, Li Yuan seems to be more biased towards himself. But in reality? Li Yuan pushed himself to the cusp.

You are a prince, but you have no real power.

Leaving Yanqing in Luoyang is actually an ornament.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuan has a lot of trust in Li Yanqing.

The eldest grandson Wuji patted Li Yanqing's shoulder and smiled: "Yangzhen, you have to get used to it." In the past, you were the emperor of the soil, but now, you have to learn to be a minister. This process may be a little uncomfortable, but it still has to be done. What you have to do now is how to dispel His Majesty's suspicion of you. But fortunately, Your Majesty treats you well, you don't respect the will, and you kill the generals in the army...... If it were a different person, it would have already fallen to the ground by now. Your Majesty, good for you. ā€

Li Yanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Eldest Sun Wuji's words sounded like he was making fun of him, but it was also an unavoidable fact.

In the past, he held the power of life and death in Xingyang, and he could be described as a soil emperor. But now, he is a Li Tang courtier, and he must obey the dispatch.

If you change people, there will definitely be a gap in mood.

In fact, in the original history, whether it was Li Mi, Du Fuwei, or even Liu Heimin, these people successively surrendered to Li Tang and then rebelled, not because of the change of identity. If he didn't have the experience of his previous life, maybe Yanqing wouldn't be able to adapt to it. But now, he was mentally prepared. Although he is no longer as majestic as before, at least he is a prince!

Yan Qing smiled: "I'm down now, and you can't be troublesome...... Hehe, who made you the unsullied brother? We are grasshoppers tied to a line now, and we can't run away from me or you. Hurry up, think of a way to make me less troublesome. ā€

"You guy, you can think about yourself, why bother me?"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, as if he was very helpless about Yan Qing's ruffian.

Suddenly, there was a whimper of a mastiff outside the door.

Li Yanqing and the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly got up, opened the door and looked, and saw more than a dozen mastiffs of different sizes crawling in the hall of the bamboo building, all of them got up and stared outward.

This time he came from Gongxian and brought all the mastiffs in the house.

The four eyes are gone, and the thin waist has become old. But he left behind seventeen young mastiffs, the oldest being seven or eight years old, and the younger four or five years old, and had already given birth to a third generation of mastiffs. The mastiffs in the hall are all descendants with thin waists and four eyes, and their heads are particularly majestic.

At the moment, their hair stood on end and they let out a terrible whimper.

Li Yanqing looked out, but it was Liu Qing standing under the porch of the bamboo building, looking at these mastiffs with some fear.

Yan Qing hurriedly stopped the mastiff and asked, "Liu Qing, didn't you say that I talked to Wuji and didn't disturb us?" ā€

"But...... Lord, King Qin sent someone to write a book, saying that he invited you to go to Hanjia Hall for a banquet tonight. ā€

"Oh?"

"King Qin said, it's just a family banquet, there are no outsiders, please be sure to appreciate it."

Li Yanqing turned his head and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, then nodded and said, "Please reply to King Qin, I will definitely go tonight." ā€

Liu Qing agreed, glanced at the mastiff in the hall with palpitations, and walked away.

These mastiffs in Yanqing are very fierce and powerful. Under the training of special personnel, these mastiffs can give birth to cracked tigers and leopards, and they are not the opponent of a mastiff.

"What do you think?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "There shouldn't be any problems. At this time, King Qin will not easily provoke trouble, otherwise he will be in even greater trouble.

According to my guess, since King Qin invited you, it is likely that he wants to mend the relationship between you and him. After all, if he really turns against you, it won't do him any good...... It's good to probe his tone, after all, you will be an official in the same dynasty as him in the future, and there is no need to make the relationship so stiff. ā€

I never wanted to get into a fight with him, but he ...... After Li Yanqing muttered a sentence in his heart, he was also guessing Li Shimin's thoughts.

Historically, Li Shimin was a very scheming person. After he returned to Chang'an, he quickly tore his face with Li Jiancheng.

In other words, the contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng has been going on for a long time.

But judging from the current situation, Li Shimin lost Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, and Wei Chigong was shot by him. The strength of Tiance Mansion is far less than it was in history. He should be able to adopt forbearance and win over him in many ways, so he doesn't want to make enemies with himself.

Theoretically, it should be.

But in fact...... Li Er, this person is too yin!

This is the feeling left by Li Yanqing when he read history in his previous life.

Perhaps, he should be more careful......―――――――――――――― that night, Li Yanqing went to the imperial city as promised.

Just as the eldest grandson Wuji said, he didn't need to worry about what Li Shimin would do. He went to the banquet in full view of everyone, and if something happened, Li Shimin could not escape the blame. Unless, he was bent on saving face and broke Long Fei's mind. But is that possible? Judging from a few short contacts with Li Shimin, this person's desire to control can be described as powerful.

But even so, Yanqing was still on guard.

In addition to ordering Xiongxiong Kuohai and Kan Ling to stay at the palace gate, he also took Shen Guang to the banquet together.

If Li Shimin really wants to play tricks, with Shen Guang's skills, he can at least take Li Shimin hostage at the first time. For this reason, Yan Qing specially reminded Shen Guang and ordered him to wear soft armor and hide the dragon ring sword. The so-called heart of harming people must not be had, and the heart of letting people go is indispensable!

Li Shimin, dressed in civilian clothes and only two people, greeted him outside the Hanjia Palace.

"Yangzhen, you're finally here!"

He stepped forward and held Li Yanqing's hand tightly, with a kind smile on his face.

"King Qin summoned, does Xiao Wang Yan dare to come?"

"Raise the truth, you ......"

Li Shimin's face showed a gloomy look. He said softly: "Yangzhen, do you and I have to be like this? When you and I were in Gongxian County, I was very happy to be taken care of by you...... The third brother has your skill, so that he can achieve today's achievements. Two days ago, the third brother also sent someone to deliver a letter to me, blaming me for not having a grudge against you. I often think about these things, and I also think...... But your methods are too drastic, so I don't even have a little room to turn around.

Respect for his ......"

Li Yanqing waved his hand and said, "Erlang, since you remember the love and righteousness back then, why do you want to take in Wei Chi Jingde?" Have you ever wondered, how I feel? ā€

"It's not my fault!"

Li Shimin said: "At the beginning, your identity was extremely secretive, and when I received Jingde, I didn't know what it had to do. If I had known......"

The implication is that this matter has nothing to do with me.

Your identity was known to very few people at the time, including me, except for my father.

Yan Qing's heart twitched, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Li Yuan. However, this dissatisfaction is only fleeting. Li Yanqing secretly gasped in his heart: Is he provoking my dissatisfaction with Li Yuan? If I am really dissatisfied with Li Yuan, I am afraid that the disaster of killing will follow.

Looking at the smile on Li Shimin's face, Yan Qing's heart was wow cool and cool.

"Your Highness, the banquet has been prepared, and the king of Henan is invited to the banquet."

"That's right, that's right, the past is over, you and I will be seated first, hahaha!"

Yan Qing's joy and anger are invisible, and Li Shimin shows generosity.

"Mr. Wang, how are you doing?"

Li Yanqing nodded slightly towards Wang Tong, who had interrupted his words.

Wang Tong smiled in return, and returned the salute: "There is the concern of the king of Laohenan, and everything is okay for Bainiu...... Hehe, I heard that the prince has added another daughter, and today he has to drink a few more cups to celebrate. ā€

"Oh? Yangzhen has a daughter? ā€

Li Yanqing didn't know much about her daughter.

In view of the fact that the atmosphere in Luoyang was a little tense at that time, he did not make a big publicity. However, he didn't think that he could hide it from Li Shimin, so he smiled slightly.

"That's really going to take two drinks...... When will the sisters-in-law come? ā€

"Oh, it's on its way. However, because I had to rush back to receive the order, I did not arrive together. Presumably, it will be there in two or three days. ā€

"That's a pity!"

Li Shimin said with regret: "I said that I would lead the troops back to Chang'an immediately, but I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up." ā€

Yan Qing was stunned, "Erlang will leave tomorrow?" ā€

Li Shimin nodded, which made Yan Qing feel strange in his heart.

After the two walked into the main hall, they sat down.

Yan Qing's eyes were attracted by the man in white behind Li Shimin. The man had gray temples, was about fifty years old, and was born with a beautiful hair, dignified appearance, and quite a demeanor. I have seen a lot of beautiful men, and Li Yanqing himself is also good-looking. But for some reason, the man in white made him faintly feel a hint of danger. The kind of silence, the strange pressure, made him quite uneasy.

"Erlang, you haven't introduced ...... yet"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Mr. Wang and you are old acquaintances, so I don't think I need to introduce you." Oh, this one is amazing, just like Yangzhen you, he was praised as a pillar of talent by Yang Su, the Duke of Chu. ā€

"Oh?"

Li Yanqing's eyes fell on the man in white, looking very interested.

But when he saw the man in white get up, he waved his hand and said: "Xiaguan Li Jing, now he is the third guard of the Qin Palace, and he has seen the king of Henan...... Li Jing has heard the name of the king of Henan for a long time, and when he sees it today, he really deserves his name. ā€

When Yan Qingdeng, his color suddenly changed!

(To be continued)
