Chapter 67 The Border City in the North Fights Fiercely, the Temples and Clouds Change the World (28)

After Li Congjing discussed civil affairs with Wei Dao, Zhang Ziyun and others, he left them in the mansion to finish supper, and then let them return. Today, a few people have formulated the major civil policy of Youyun, and in the future they will act specifically under this program, although there are thousands of clues, but there is a direction, with the ability of Weidao and Zhang Ziyun, and a group of officials behind them as the backbone, it is not difficult for Youyun civil to change the sky.

Sending Wei Dao, Zhang Ziyun and others out of the house, looking up, Li Congjing suddenly saw a morning star twinkling in the night sky, and the breeze was blowing, he didn't feel cold, he stood comfortably for a long time, there were no clouds in his mind for a while, but he remembered some experiences in his previous life. It's just different from the loneliness that would follow before, and now looking at his previous life, Li Congjing can look at it calmly. No matter how beautiful the things in your memory are, you don't have to be too nostalgic, and when you face them, it is enough to remember them with a smile.

Li Congjing turned around and walked into the house, because the sky was about to brighten, and he didn't have the heart to rest, he walked directly into the inner study and planned the next thing to be solved. He had made up his mind before to find a way to get Li Cunzhen to return to the court, and after these years of hard work, the matter has already come to an eyebrow.

Under the circumstance that Li Cunxuan is becoming more and more addicted to pleasure and does not pay much attention to state affairs, Li Cunxuan wants to return to the dynasty, and the biggest difficulty in this matter is Guo Chongtao. In order for Li Cunzhen to return to the dynasty smoothly, it is necessary to dispel Guo Chongtao's concerns. This alone is not enough, you need to come up with enough benefits to impress Guo Chongtao and exchange it with him. The position of a person has reached a certain height, and seeking things with others has become like a country having diplomatic relations, paying attention to the exchange of interests, and if it is profitable, it will be done, and if it is not profitable, it will be avoided.

It wasn't until dawn that Li Congjing returned to the bedroom and prepared to rest. Pushing open the door, Li Congjing unexpectedly saw Ren Wanru sitting on the couch in a cloak, her long hair spilling, and she was looking at him with affection, every inch of her skin revealed a seductive charm.

Li Congjing sat on the edge of the couch, untied his clothes, and asked, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

"Waiting for you." Ren Wanru's glutinous voice was very soft.

Li Congjing smiled, "Why sit and wait all night, nothing is so anxious, right?" ”

"There is ......" Ren Wanru lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito and a fly.

"What?"

Ren Wanru frustrated the corners of the quilt with both hands, gritted her silver teeth, suddenly raised her head, looked directly at Li Congjing, and said in a resolute tone: "Wait for you, give birth to a child for you!" ”

Li Congjing: "......"

After a brief silence, there was a dull sound, mixed with a scream, and soon there was the sound of heavy breathing, and the intermittent moaning fluttered like music on the beams.

Luoyang.

Li Siyuan sat on the low couch, looked at the refreshed young man in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Siyuan smiled and said to the Cao family sitting beside him: "Madam, do you think this kid has a bit of demeanor from Jing's childhood?" ”

Cao Shi nodded with a smile, "When you say this, there is really a bit of similarity between the eyebrows." ”

Shi Qingfeng pulled the river girl to kneel down in a proper manner, and bowed: "Thank you for the benefactor's life-saving grace!" ”

Li Siyuan asked Shi Qingfeng and Heya to get up and asked him: "You once said that you came to Luoyang to find relatives. Who are your relatives? Where is home? You might as well say it, maybe the old man can help you. ”

Shi Qingfeng was overjoyed, and thanked Li Siyuan first, and then he said happily: "The villain's cousin's name is Shi Dazhu, and he is the head of the army!" ”

"Stone pillar?" Li Siyuan thought for a while, and seemed to have some impressions, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Then he asked, "Who does he belong to?" ”

Shi Qingfeng pondered and said: "My cousin mentioned in the letter that his main general's surname is Li ......" Speaking of this, he paused, puffed up his chest, and looked quite proud, "That General Li is the great hero who repeatedly defeated the Khitan barbarians at the Youyun border not long ago, known as the 'Blessing of Youyun', the father of General Li Congjing, and the old general Li Siyuan!" ”

Cao's sighed, looked at Li Siyuan in surprise, Li Siyuan also showed surprise, and then laughed, and said to Cao's: "Madam, listen, Congjing is terrible now, he has only been in Youyun for a few days, and he is called 'Youyun Blessing' by the people, and even a half-old child knows his name!" ”

Cao's face was full of relief and pride, and he said proudly: "That's nature, and I don't see whose son he is!" ”

Shi Qingfeng looked at Li Siyuan and Cao Shi blankly, not knowing what was going on in front of him. When Li Siyuan saw his expression, he smiled and said, "Do you know who the old man is?" ”

Shi Qingfeng shook his head.

Li Siyuan stroked his beard and said proudly: "Old man, it is Li Siyuan." ”

Shi Qingfeng was greatly surprised, stunned for a long time, and then reacted and hurriedly bowed.

Li Siyuan stood up, helped Shi Qingfeng up, and said with a smile: "Your cousin is under the old man's command, and you are just saved by the old man, it seems that you have come to the right place." In this way, it is not difficult to find your cousin. He turned back to Cao and said: "Most of the men surnamed Shi under my command are under the command of Jing Jiao, and I called him here, thinking that he knows Shi Dazhu." He called the servants in the palace and ordered: "Go to the barracks and let Shi Jingjiao bring Shi Dazhu to see you!" ”

Shi Qingfeng was overjoyed, except for thanking him again and again, he didn't know what to do.

From time to time, Shi Jingjiao arrived at the house, but he came alone, and he did not bring anyone with him.

Li Siyuan asked, "Why don't you see the stone pillar?" ”

"Father, Shi Dazhu died in the battle to destroy Liang a few years ago." Shi Jingjiao replied respectfully.

When Shi Qingfeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and Heya cried even more.

Shi Jingjiao followed the prestige, saw Shi Qingfeng's expression, looked different, looked at it for a while, and then said in surprise: "You are...... Blue Point? ”

Shi Qingfeng looked at Shi Jingjiao in surprise and puzzlement.

Shi Jingjiao explained to Li Siyuan: "Shi Dazhu's father and son were under the command of the child before, and the child and Shi Dazhu's father were friends for eight worships. Speaking of which, Qingfeng's father is still from Shatuo, and he can also be regarded as half a nephew of the child. ”

Li Siyuan nodded, groaned for a while, and asked Shi Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, now that your cousin is dead, are you willing to follow the old man?" ”

Of course Shi Qingfeng is willing.

Shi Jingjiao thought for a while and took the initiative to ask, "Father, the father of the Qingfeng clan is a friend of the child, and he is also a nephew of the child, why don't you hand him over to the child, and the child will adopt him as an adopted son and raise him on behalf of his father?" ”

This matter is inevitable, and Li Siyuan immediately agreed.

Cao Shi pulled the still crying Heya beside him and said, "Qingfeng, you can take it away, but I love this girl, just stay by my side and let me take it." ”

This is a grace honor, Shi Qingfeng immediately thanked him and did not mention it.

Li Siyuan was a little relieved that this matter was done, and he sighed: "Since the chaos in the world, various places have been fighting for years, although the people have been ruined, how many soldiers are not horse leather shrouds? Shi Dazhu fought from me, but died young, which is sad to say. Looking at Shi Qingfeng, he felt more and more fond, and said to Shi Jingjiao: "Since you have accepted Qingfeng as your adopted son, you will rename him so that he can have a different life." ”

Shi Jingjiao nodded in agreement, pondered for a long time, and then said tentatively to Li Siyuan: "Qingfeng can meet his father, with today's opportunity, his fate is very different from the past, why don't you just call it 'valuable'?" ”

"Valuable, stone is valuable......" Li Siyuan read it twice, bowing his head slightly, "Very good." ”

Shi Qingfeng knelt down in front of Li Siyuan, "Thank you, old general!" He bowed to Shi Jingjiao again, "Noble and noble to see my father-in-law!" ”

Shi Jingjiao helped Shi Chonggui up, smiling richly, as if he had picked up a treasure.

If Li Congjing was there, he would definitely drop his jaw when he saw this scene.

As the commander of Li Congjing's half of the guards, the fifth girl can walk freely on Li Congjing's mansion, and she happens to "pass" by Li Congjing's bedroom at this time. coincided with the Spring Festival, Yelu Min came to congratulate Li Congjing, and at this time he also walked outside Li Congjing's bedroom.

The two met outside the courtyard and walked into the courtyard together.

As soon as they passed the moon gate, the two of them heard intermittent sounds in the room, and they stopped together, listened quietly, and looked at each other. After a while, the two women's cheeks turned red, and Yehelmin almost fled.

After the fifth shyness, he immediately giggled, "The military marshal's interest is really high, and he didn't forget to do it in broad daylight, but he wasn't afraid of being heard." After speaking, he pulled Yelu Min out of the courtyard, still muttering in his mouth, "Let's go, the military commander is going to have a child, let's not stand here and get in the way." ”

As soon as they got out of the courtyard, they didn't go far, and the two of them met a sharp soldier from the military intelligence department who was hurrying forward, and he was in a hurry, and he was dusty. Seeing the fifth, the sharpman stopped and saluted.

"The commander has something important to do, and he doesn't want anyone to disturb him, why is he so anxious?" The fifth stood in the middle of the road, with a dignified posture, and asked this military intelligence officer.

"Return to the fifth commander, Luoyang intelligence, first class of B words!" The MI soldier handed the bag in his arms to the fifth, so said. According to the degree of priority, the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department is divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E, and there is a difference between one and three grades, and B is one class, which is very important and urgent information.

Fifth, open the bag, take out the letter in it, and expand it.

When she was young, she closed the letter with a solemn face, "The imperial court has approved the invitation of the marshal and the military marshal, and agreed to return to the court to recuperate." ”

Ye Lu Min's face was different, she knew about it, and she was very surprised to hear that Guo Chongtao was willing to let Li Cunxian return to the court. However, she was sensitive, and immediately thought that Li Congjing had reached an agreement with Guo Chongtao for this matter, but she didn't know the content of the agreement.

"You stand down, this matter will be reported to the commander later." Fifth, he put away his bag and waved his hand to the MI soldier to step back.

The two of them wanted to leave this place, but they didn't know if they had walked a few steps just now, and they didn't know if they were haunted by demons, and they could faintly hear the sound of the courtyard in their ears, and they continued to move forward at this time.

However, before he could take two steps, another MI soldier hurried in. Looking at his expression, he was even more eager than the man just now.

Fifth, the information was intercepted, but the letter read: Jingnan Gao Jixing entered the court to meet His Majesty, and His Majesty wanted to kill him and seize Jingnan, but because of Guo Chongtao's persuasion, His Majesty hesitated. After Gao Jixing returned to the south, His Majesty wanted to kill him again, so he ordered Liu Xun, the assassin of Xiangzhou, to pursue him, but Gao Jixing was cut off and fled at night.

The land of Jingnan is located in the center of the Yangtze River, and if you get here, you can go down the river to Guangling and Jinling, and go straight to the hinterland of Yangwu. Li Cunmiao wanted to get this place, it was originally a rough idea, but because of hesitation, he missed the opportunity, and this time he had a grudge with Gao Jixing, and let him escape, and it would be even more difficult to take Jingnan in the future. After this incident, Yang Wu must have spied on Li Cunqing's intention to plot against Yang Wu, so as to take strict precautions against Datang, if Datang wants to use troops against Yang Wu, it will be even more difficult. Therefore, it can be said that Li Cunmiao's move is like a faint move, which has made the road to the Tang Dynasty's annexation of the world more dangerous.

Over the years, Li Cunmiao relied on his eloquence and strategy, defeated the Khitan, Pingyan Zhao, destroyed the Liang Dynasty, and did not miss a beat.

And now, Li Cunmiao has not yet reigned in the world, and has indulged in the achievements and pleasures of the past, and he is undecided about Jingnan, a small place, and finally fell into a situation of resentment with it. Isn't the meaning of this worth pondering?

With such a big Tang Dynasty, when will it be able to sweep away the heroes, calm the world, and dominate the four seas?

The fifth face was cloudy, as if he was hesitating, whether to turn around and enter the hospital, interrupting Li Congjing and telling him about this important situation. Although the impact of this matter is not close at hand, the fifth, as Li Congjing's confidant, knows the other party's ambitions, and such news is of great significance just when Li Congjing hears about it.

In the end, Fifth did not choose to turn around and enter the hospital immediately, but she had no intention of leaving, she stood in the middle of the road, as if she had already sensed that more and more important information would arrive today.

Yelu Min did not leave, she stood with the fifth, and stood guard outside the small courtyard. She didn't know why, but her instincts meant it.

The fifth didn't look at Yelu Min, and said lightly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there is a big stroke in the courtyard, why don't you go back to the house, and you want to stand here and be cold?" ”

Yelu Min smiled, "For some reason, this palace feels that if you leave here at this time, you will miss something." ”

"What are you missing?" Fifth question.

Yelu Min said in an inexplicable tone: "What should have come has not yet come, who can know in advance what it is?" ”

The fifth pouted and said no more.

The fifth was dressed in red, and Yelumin was dressed in white, and the two stood in the middle of the road, with very different colors. Behind the two women, in the small courtyard, the sound seemed to have climbed to a high point, and it was at a critical juncture.

From time to time, the third wave of MI soldiers arrived.

This time, the content of the information is very concise, only one sentence, but the meaning is by no means simple.

In terms of the distance traveled, this information is also much farther than the previous two - it comes from the central land of Yang and Wu, Jinling.

The content of the letter is twelve words: "Yang Wu Taifu Xu Wen, send an envoy to the Khitan!" ”

The fifth suddenly lost his mind, looked at the pale sky and muttered: "This world is about to change." ”

After speaking, she turned around decisively and strode into the small courtyard behind her.

When Liang and Jin were competing for hegemony, both sides were each other's biggest opponents, and although they were among the strongest three countries in the world, they had no time to care about anything else. Therefore, Yang Wu, south of the Huai River, was able to occupy a corner of peace and accumulate national strength. And now, Liang annihilated Tang Qiang, after Li Cunqiao dominated the Central Plains, will he whip the Quartet to clear the universe and unify Kyushu?

How did Yang Wu respond?

To balance the Central Plains, the only way to connect the northern power - the Khitan!

Bohai State, Shangjing Longquan Mansion.

In a high-gate compound, there are four people sitting opposite each other. Among the four men, there was a man over forty years of age, dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a frown on his brow; There was a young prince, dressed in a brocade robe and ermine, who was silent; There is a scribe in a white robe, gently shaking the folding fan, on which a river and mountain are painted, and its shape is free and uninhibited; The last one, however, was a woman with long hair flowing down, who was bowing her head and drinking the water in the cup one by one, her eyes were indifferent and lazy.

The first to break the silence was the scribe who shook the folding fan lightly, he looked at the two men in front of him, smiled slightly, and said: "Since entering the Bohai Sea, we have been intensively exploring the forces of all sides, maneuvering around various dangers, which lasted more than four months, to sort out the situation in the royal capital and find a way to solve the dilemma. Why, now that the matter is approaching, the prince is hesitant? ”

The young prince in the brocade robe was silent for a while, sighed, and said slowly: "Mr. Mo, I know that you are scheming, and you are the real Wang Zuozhi. However, the current situation is complicated, but we cannot afford to act carelessly, and if there is a half-point difference, we will be crushed to pieces, and there will be no room for maneuver. Although Mr.'s opinion is to the point, it is necessary to implement it, but it is also a bolt from the blue, and the danger is abnormal! ”

"The situation in the Bohai Kingdom is stalemate, the country is already terminally ill, Your Highness should know that now the Khitan may invade at any time, at this time, how can there be room for His Highness to slowly figure it out? Only by thunder means! Mo Li put away the folding fan and slapped it in the palm of his hand with a snap.

Da Ming'an was still hesitating, he looked at the middle-aged Confucian Li Siping.

Li Siping asked Mo Li with blazing eyes, "Mr. Mo, dare to ask, if we can't do anything, what will happen to us?" ”

Mo Li smiled and spit out a word: "Death." ”

Li Siping's face changed slightly, and he asked again: "Mr. Mo, if the matter is leaked, what will happen to me?" ”

Mo Li said: "Death." ”

Li Siping's face was ugly, and he asked three times: "If there is a change on the way, what will happen to us?" ”

"Die."

Li Siping's face was dark, his tone was not good, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Mo knows that we have these three deaths, why do you insist on taking such a risky act?" ”

Mo Li met Li Siping's gaze and said word for word: "If this is not the case, not only will we die, but Bohai will also destroy the country!" ”

Li Siping's body was loose, and he was unable to lean on his back.

Da Ming'an's eyes gradually became resolute, he stood up, saluted Mo Li, and said resolutely: "Mr. Mo, I have made up my mind to seek the throne, why can Mr. teach me?" ”

Mo Li opened the folding fan, shook it gently, and said calmly: "Seeking the throne is a great rebellion, but His Highness must be above board." Otherwise, it is not enough to convince the subjects and be loyal. ”

"How can it be justified to kill my brother and father in order to seize the throne?" Tao Yaoyao said coldly.

Mo Li's smile did not decrease, "The one who wants to kill his brother and kill his father to seize the throne is not His Royal Highness, but other princes." The prince quelled the rebellion and pacified the world, how could he not wait for the throne above board? ”

"How?"

"But four words: lead the king into the urn!"

"So that you can secure the throne?"

"That's not enough, before His Highness can build up his prestige. In this way, it will not only promote His Highness's ascension to the throne, but also help to stabilize the throne. ”

"How do you build prestige?"

"In troubled times, there is nothing more prestigious than winning a war."

"Where is the war?"

"Border."

"What caused the war?"

"Rise from the heart!"

Youzhou.

Li Congjing held the information of all parties, stood on the city tower, and looked at the sky of the earth.

With the breeze blowing on his face, he muttered to himself: "This world is about to change." ”
