Chapter 4 Wang Bainiu Down
readx;
In the riverside pavilion, Pei Lin cooked tea, and Li Yuan and Li Xiaoji stood side by side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After reading the letter, Lee Hyo-gi took a deep breath, his face filled with a faint look of pride. He looked at Li Yuan and asked softly, "What is Guogong's intention?" ”
Li Yuan smiled, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that Yuwa would grow like this.
I have made up my mind about this matter, since the Taiyuan Wang family wants me to come forward to say something, Erlang is right, I can push the boat down the river and fulfill the Yuwa. It's just that Wang Shichong has the support of the Wang clan behind him, and even if he loses this battle, it will bring huge variables to the Central Plains.
Lao Jiu, Yuwa'er is struggling to support in Xingyang, I really can't bear it. I can't help him much, but I need to show it. ”
In the entire Li family, there are not many people who know the relationship between Li Yanqing and Li Xiaoji.
Except for Li Yuan, there are only a few people. Among these people, Mrs. Dou and Li Hui have passed away, and the rest of them know a clue. Including Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng and second son Li Shimin, they only knew that Li Yuan was ambushing a secret chess move in Xingyang. But which trick exactly? Li Yuan never confided in them. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better!
Li Xiaoji rubbed his nose, "How does Guogong want to help him?" ”
"I've been thinking about it for a long time...... After the death of the second brother, Dao Xuan stayed in Shuofang. Although there is an old brother Dou to take care of him, after all, he is under the fence, and it is not a long-term thing. Dao Xuan is now twelve years old, and he can come out to practice. I heard that Yuwa'er invited Xu Wenyuan and Xu Gong out of the Qilin Pavilion in the town, so I thought about letting Daoxuan go to Xingyang, on the one hand, as a contact, and secondly, to study in the Qilin Pavilion.
My current situation is very embarrassing, if Yuwa'er contacts me too much, I am afraid that people will see the flaws.
But if there is no contact, we will not be able to understand the situation in Xingyang in time, let alone give Yuwa'er enough help and support.
Dao Xuan is young, and he went to Gong County in the name of studying, so he will not attract attention. Lao Jiu, what do you think of this arrangement? ”
Of course, this arrangement is proper!
Although Li Xiaoji is still calm on the surface, he is happy in his heart!
Li Yuan's arrangement, to a certain extent, is equivalent to recognizing Li Yanqing's status in the Li family. In this big family, it is one thing to return to the ancestors and recognize the ancestors, and it is another thing to recognize or not to recognize. The same surname is Li, and there are also three, six, nine and so on. Otherwise, if you give seven sons, why can Li Yuan inherit the title? Li Yuan has a lot of brothers, but how many people can be reused by Li Yuan?
Li Daoxuan's status in the Li family is not low, although he is not very old, he is very valued by Li Yuan.
Now, such a person was sent to Gong County as a liaison envoy, which also shows that Li Yuan attaches great importance and concern to Li Yanqing.
To a certain extent, Li Yanqing can be regarded as entering the core class of the Li family from this moment.
Lee Hyo-gi said: "Dao Xuan is intelligent, elegant in manners, and has the ability to adapt, so he is indeed a suitable candidate." However, Dao Xuan's age is still young after all, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility. Now the situation in Xingyang is complicated, although Yan Qing is smart, he has not yet controlled the overall situation. In case there is a deviation and Daoxuan's surname is broken, wouldn't you be sorry for the second brother's family? Therefore, I have no problem sending Daoxuan to Xingyang, but it is best to have someone who is old and respectful and good at observing words and emotions to help from the side, maybe it will be useful. ”
After Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, thinking that what Li Xiaoji said was quite reasonable.
But who should be sent?
Li Yuan couldn't help but hesitate. There are countless capable people under him, but this Li valve is too deeply imprinted. For example, the three brothers Wen Daya have talent for warp and weft, but sending them out will definitely arouse the suspicion of others. After all, the fame of the Wen brothers is really not small.
Raising his head, Li Yuan asked, "Who does Lao Jiu think?" ”
"I can't think of this for a while."
"Guogong, Jiulang, the tea is good, and it can be quoted."
In the gazebo, Pei Lin called loudly.
Li Yuan and Li Xiaoji looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the pavilion.
Pei Lin pushed the teacup down in front of the two, "What, is there anything embarrassing?" ”
Li Yuan took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "I want to order Dao Xuan to go to the Gongxian Qilin Pavilion to study, but I don't know who to send with me. ”
Since Pei Lin can stay here, he is naturally Li Yuan's confidant.
Although Li Yuan did not say the existence of Li Yanqing, Pei Lin could still guess that Li Daoxuan must have an important mission when he went to Xingyang.
He pondered for a moment, "If it is the one who follows, I have two candidates.
Siniang's husband Chai Shao is a Taiyuan wang family. He has a brother named Chai Qing, who is skilled in fists and feet, and has unparalleled swordsmanship. And he is very clever and trustworthy. With him by his side, he must be able to make Dao Xuanxian's nephew safe. Guogong thought, what about this person? ”
Chai Shao is Li Yuan's son-in-law, so he can naturally be trusted.
Chai Qing, Li Yuan has also seen it, and it is indeed as Pei Lin said, strong in martial arts and shrewd. What's more, the Chai family and the Li family have become one, and Li Xiaoji also pretended to be a member of the Chai clan and hid under Li Daoxuan's grandfather. This kind of relationship is extraordinary. Pei Lin proposed this candidate, not only Li Yuan agreed, but also Li Xiaoji, who also felt very satisfied.
"But I don't know, who is the other person?"
"Safety is guaranteed, and a well-informed, well-read, and sophisticated person is also needed.
I remember that there was a division of armor under the account of the Guogong who joined the army, Wenshui and Wushi Tong, who used to be a businessman, and later fled home because he offended Yang Su when digging the Tongji Canal. This person has traveled south and north, and he is very familiar with the Central Plains. Talented, more strategic. It is easy to read the Three Kingdoms, and every time I see the things that support the Lord and establish loyalty, I will be a loyal person...... There are warriors in the text, Chai Qing in the martial arts, and Dao Xuan must be worry-free. ”
Samurai Tong?
When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Samurai Tong is indeed the right person."
Although the samurai Tong joined the army with official armor, he was not an official reported by the ministry. To be precise, he should be regarded as a county guard staff, and he belongs to the officials recruited by Li Yuan himself. Li Yuan can decide on his own appointing and dismissal. In addition, he is not a famous person, although he has been a soldier, he is only from a team, and he also has no record in the Wei Mansion. Such a person will never attract the attention of others.
When Li Yuan thought of this, he already had an idea in his heart.
"Otherwise, you will work hard and send Daoxuan to Gong County?"
Lee Hyo-gi is naturally very willing. He hadn't seen his children for four years, and he missed his heart in words, which was hard to describe in words. Li Yuan could also see Li Xiaoji's thoughts, so he asked him to send Li Daoxuan to Gong County, so that his father and son could get together.
"And when am I going to get up?"
"I'll order Wu Shi Tong and Chai Qing to come over, and you will leave tonight and go to Shuofang."
"Whoa!"
Li Xiaoji sang a fat song and left happily.
Pei Lin looked at Li Xiaoji's back with deep meaning, and suddenly seemed to have an understanding. He glanced at Li Yuan, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
******
In the evening, Li Shimin was sitting at home, holding a unique copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" published by Luopu Books, and reading it with relish.
Wearing a white shirt, it sets off Li Shimin's outstanding demeanor.
When reading a section of Longzhong, Li Shimin couldn't help but applaud, and then let out a sigh of emotion.
Wen, who was sewing and mending his clothes on the side, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with Husband, today?" Why is it so emotional? ”
"I sighed that when I met Banyuanjun back then, I couldn't do much to do it.
When I read "Three Kingdoms" when I was young, I only felt that my blood was boiling and my ambition was intense. Now that I read the Three Kingdoms again, I know that half of the kings are really the great sages of the world. The fourth sister once said that Banyuanjun is a little less heroic, not as good as mine. But I now know that half-edged Jun is a big husband's behavior. ”
In a word, Wen couldn't help but be a little curious.
She was about to ask, but she heard a report from someone outside the door: "The third prince and Mr. Wang ask to meet." ”
Wen hurriedly got up, took the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Li Shimin's hand, and said softly: "The third uncle and Mr. Wang are here, and Erlang still needs to pay attention to his demeanor." Talk about things, and I'll go down and have someone prepare food and drinks for you. But don't be greedy. ”
Wen's family is also from a scholarly family, and his surname is gentle and virtuous.
Li Shimin and her are also childhood sweethearts, and the relationship between the two is very good.
Listening to Wen's advice, Li Shimin was not impatient, but nodded again and again, indicating that he would keep it in mind. After a while, Li Xuanba and Wang Tong walked into the hall. Li Shimin hurriedly got up to greet him, and after meeting Wang Tong, he sat down separately.
Fourteen years have passed, and Wang Tong's appearance has not changed much.
It's just that his face is a little pale, and his eyes are not as sharp as they were back then, like a sword in its sheath. Fourteen years of hard study, how many humiliations he has endured, how many people's eyes he has endured. Only he understands the pain in his own heart. And the culprit who caused his name of 'Wang Bainiu' was Li Yanqing. However, Wang Tong did not hold a grudge against Li Yanqing, but thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for Li Yanqing, he would still be the frog at the bottom of the well now.
Fourteen years have turned a young man in his prime into a forty-year-old man.
Wang Tong sat calmly on the side, and did not ask Li Shimin what was the matter when he called him over.
If he didn't even have this bit of qi cultivation, how could he achieve fame? The king informed him that Li Shimin must have something important to do when he was looking for him.
Sure enough, after Li Shimin and Wang Tong exchanged pleasantries for a while, the conversation changed and they talked about the affairs of the day.
"Just now Liu Wenjing sent someone to tell me that not long ago, Uncle Nine left Taiyuan with Chai Qing and Wu Shi Tong and went to Shuofang.
The father wanted to send Dao Xuandi to study in Gong County...... I think it's strange that at this time, my father sent my brother to Gong County to read something. ”
"Going to school in Gong County? Kirinkan? ”
"Exactly!" Li Shimin replied: "It is said that Li Yanqing invited Xu Wenyuan and Xu Gong to sit in the Qilin Pavilion. But even so, there is no need to let Dao Xuan go to Gong County to study. The situation there is also complicated, and there are frequent wars, so it may not be a good place to study. ”
"I'm just afraid, the prince has a deep meaning."
Wang Tong pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Gongzi just said that Guogong received a letter from Xingyang yesterday. ”
"Exactly!"
"At this time, my uncle asked Guogong to come forward and say ......something for Wang Shichong."
In Wang Tong's mind, a series of threads emerged, gradually connecting the seemingly unrelated clues.
He said suddenly: "Childe, Guogong has already made a decision, but I am afraid that soon, there will be action." ”
"You mean......" Li Shimin's eyes lit up and bloomed with a scorching look.
Wang Tong nodded, "The second prince only needs to pay attention to whether the prince will recruit the eldest prince to return to Taiyuan in the near future." If the eldest prince returns, the matter of the prince is imminent; If the eldest prince doesn't come back, I'm afraid it will take some time. However, the second son can push the boat down the river and secretly push the national prince. Guogong must still have some concerns in his heart now, just waiting for Gongzi to make a decision on his behalf. ”
Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
Li Xuanba suddenly spoke: "Why did my father ask Uncle Nine to send Daoxuan to Gong County?" ”
"Uncle Nine has rich experience, and lived in Xingyang County in his early years, so he is also very familiar with the situation there. Father asked him to come over, presumably to help Brother Daoxuan...... However, Uncle Nine is really pitiful. I heard that he had a son in his early years, and his life and death are still unknown. Uncle Nine has been floating around all these years......"
Li Shimin spoke unintentionally, but gradually, his voice became weaker.
Li Xuanba and Wang Tong glanced at each other and looked at Li Shimin at the same time. In an instant, the three of them saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.
Could it be ......
