Chapter 11 The second generation of officials in the Wude period

readx;

A light rain fell in the middle of the night, but the weather became even hotter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After dawn, the breeze more or less drove away the heat, but it still made people feel unbearable. Xue Li and Song Lingwen were dressed in single clothes and walked out of the gate of the palace. After the two talked to the house slave in the concierge for a few words, Song Lingwen waved his hand impatiently to let the house slave retreat.

Counting the time, Xue Li and Song Lingwen have been learning art in Li Yanqing's house for many years.

Song Lingwen is still black and strong, and at first glance he looks like a mud leg. But if you look closely, there is a bookish atmosphere.

In addition to practicing over the years, he has also been studying.

In contrast, he seems to be more interested in reading than practicing. If it weren't for Duoduo's tight supervision every day, maybe he would have put the practice aside a long time ago.

Li Yanqing once said with a smile to his eldest grandson Wuji: "It's not a family, don't enter a family."

The old Xue family is angry with books in their bones! Everyone Xue is like this, Xue Dalang is like this, and now even Song Lingwen is like this...... I really want to see what Daro's children will be like in the future...... Presumably, the same as him. ”

Xue Shui has set a wedding date, which will be held at the end of the year.

The woman is also the daughter of a family, and she is also the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang's long house, so she can be regarded as a good match.

However, according to Xue Shui himself, he was not satisfied with this marriage. But this marriage was decided by Xue Ru, and he had no way to refuse.

Song Lingwen is rough and heroic, but he is polite.

Xue Li, on the other hand, has a big skeleton, and although he has just passed the age of ten, he is already like a child of thirteen or fourteen years old.

In addition, the nutrition keeps up, and lays an excellent foundation, so it is more robust.

It's just that on the outside, Xue Liwen is quiet and seems to be very delicate. But Hugh had to be confused by Xue Li's appearance, Song Lingwen knew that this guy was a martial idiot, and he was extremely intelligent. For military affairs, it seems that he has a strong talent, since last year, Xue Li has begun to learn the Analects, and with Li Yanqing's tacit consent, he began to come into contact with Sun Tzu's Art of War.

This guy, when he got into a fight, was crazy.

Even if Song Lingwen is six years older than Xue Li, it is a little difficult to fight.

The two children seemed to be completely ignorant of the outside world, and after walking out of the palace leisurely, they walked along Chunmingmen Street in the direction of Dongshi.

To the south of Chunming Gate, there is a dilapidated ancestral hall.

A few teenagers came out from behind the ancestral hall, staring at Xue Li and Song Lingwen with a hideous smile.

"Who are those two boys?"

Yu Chi Baolin asked softly.

Several teenagers beside him shook their heads in unison.

A handsome young man said, "Could it be the son of the king of Henan?" ”

", how old is the king of Henan? These two boys look like they are in their teens, so could it be that the king of Henan had a son at the age of ten?

Qin Huaiyang, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense. ”

"How do I know ......?"

A young man next to him said: "I heard that the king of Henan has only one son under his knees, who has just turned one year old; There are also two daughters, but they did not come to Chang'an with the king of Henan. These two guys should be the children of the family in the house? Well, or the eldest grandson or someone from the Pei family...... Baoqing, why don't we find someone to inquire about the situation first? ”

"Tang Guan, are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"Of course, I'm afraid of offending the king of Henan? Or was your father captured by Uncle Wei Chi back then, so you held a grudge? ”

"Liu Baiyao, you have to spew blood!"

Tang Guan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he glared at the delicate young man and gritted his teeth.

Tang Guan's father, Shi Tangjian, the governor of Tiance Prefecture. Qin Huaiyang is Qin Qiong's eldest son. As for Liu Baiyao, his father's name is Liu Wenqi, the official worship is straight, and he is a regular attendant, and he is also the Yuan Cong hero of Li Yuan's Taiyuan army.

Liu Wen's name may be a little unfamiliar.

But when it comes to Liu Wenqi's brother Liu Wenjing, he is basically familiar.

Speaking of which, Liu Wenqi's early official position was far inferior to Liu Wenjing. However, after the Battle of Shallow Water Plain, Liu Wenjing was demoted to a commoner. Originally, this was not a big deal. It's just that this Liu Wenjing is a narrow-minded person, and during the period of being demoted, he often scratched, so that Li Yuan gradually alienated him. In addition, Li Shimin gradually has a tendency to stand on his own, which makes Li Yuan even more dissatisfied. He believes that the reason why Li Shimin has this kind of thinking is that Liu Wenjing provoked it.

So slowly, when Liu Wenqi became an official and paid homage to the cavalry, Liu Wenjing was still a staff member of Tiance Mansion...... In fact, if you follow the trajectory of history, Liu Wenjing was killed by Li Yuan in the second year of Wude. However, due to the early outbreak of the Battle of Baibi, Li Shimin recruited Liu Wenjing to work in the palace of King Qin, which also saved Liu Wenjing from a murderous disaster.

Liu Baiyao is seventeen years old, and when he heard Tang Guan say it, he sneered.

He also did not have a good impression of Li Yanqing, because Li Yanqing had humiliated his uncle in Luoyang.

After Liu Wenjing returned to Chang'an, she often said bad things about Li Yanqing in front of Liu Wenqi. However, fortunately, with the appearance of Li Yanqing, Liu Wenjing shifted her hatred for Pei Lian. In history, it was Pei Lin who instigated Li Yuan and killed Liu Wenjing's brothers.

Tang Guan's father, Tang Jian, used to be Sima of Shaanzhou.

When Wei Chi Jingde attacked Shaanzhou, he captured Tang Jian.

"Liu Baiyao, shut up!"

Yu Chi Baolin said: "Brother Tang is not that kind of person, and Lord Tang is even more broad-minded.

What happened back then was just that each was his own master, so why bring it up again now...... Brother Tang, what do you want to say? ”

Tang Guan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "If those two people are retainers of the royal mansion, it would be fine, but if they are the children of the Pei family or the Xue family, I am afraid that you and I will provoke it." Pei Xue is a big clan in Hedong, and if he angers them, King Qin can't protect us...... Liu Baiyao, you should know, what is the origin of the Pei family and the Xue family, I am thinking about Brother Baolin. ”

Liu Baiyao did not refute it, and obviously agreed with Tang Guan's explanation.

Qin Huaiyang said: "It shouldn't be Pei Xue's disciple...... I have seen the grandeur of the children of the world, and looking at the clothes of these two people, they are not very similar.

Why don't you go to Dongshi and find a few green skins to try them...... But let's not come forward and see how the palace reacts. If they are Pei Xue's disciples, let's not say a word, and we won't admit it; If not, then continue to teach them. ”

"Damn, that kid didn't come today.

That guy is a bag to inquire, and if he was here, we wouldn't need to rack our brains so much. ”

Chu Mo is the son of Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Chu Mo, like Yu Chi Baolin, is also a Qianniu Bei and serves in Beiya.

Several teenagers discussed it and immediately asked their families to go down and make arrangements.

In the distance, Xue Li and Song Lingwen had already turned into the East City, and Wei Chi Baolin's face showed a hideous look!

―――――――――――――――――――――― in a restaurant in Chang'an West City, Cheng Biting Jin Qinqiong and his gang were drinking.

"See, although Lao Tzu can't move the king of Henan, he can make him lose face.

You birds sighed all day long, but none of them came up with an idea. At a critical time, it still depends on my old Cheng. ”

Wang Tong shook his head with a wry smile, while Qin Qiong had a look of disdain.

"Cheng Heizi, don't be complacent.

You come up with such a bad idea, and it may not have any effect. The king of Henan did not blame, it was because those boys were young. You can take it easy, don't go too far...... If you really annoy the king of Henan, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to get any benefits. ”

"Yes, Cheng Heizi, when it's time to stop, stop it as soon as possible. The king of Henan is in Chang'an, although he can't compare to his words in Luoyang, but it's not you and I can provoke. Two days ago, some people in the court had already talked about this matter, indicating that the court also began to pay attention. After all, the king of Henan is a clan, and if you cut his face like this, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the clan. In that case, His Royal Highness King Qin would inevitably be in a dilemma...... If you want me to say, you better let Baolin and them stop. ”

Qin Qiong and Wang Tong's painstaking persuasion made Cheng Yanjin hesitate.

Wang Tong said again: "Don't forget, what kind of person is the king of Henan." If he really cares, even if the Holy One comes forward, he may not be able to stop it. You have good intentions, but you have to think clearly, Baolin and they are young and vigorous, if they do something out of the ordinary, then you will hurt them...... I heard that a few days ago, a subordinate of the Henan Wangfu was beaten up in Xishi, and if it wasn't for Huaiyang Tangguan and a few of them to stop him, he would have died if he didn't get it right.

If there is really a human life, do you think the king of Henan will give up?

Now the crown prince is pressing on King Qin step by step, wanting to weaken King Qin's strength. At this time, he angered the king of Henan again, who of you and I can afford his thunderous anger? Cheng Heizi, don't be quick for a while, but hurt the Baolin brothers. ”

Cheng Yanjin is not a person who does not know the severity.

Listening to Wang Tong's words, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Otherwise, discuss with King Zhao and see if you can arrange something for Baolin to do, so that he won't have trouble every day?"

"It's okay, then I'll go back and discuss with King Zhao......

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.

Immediately after, the door curtain was lifted, and Liu Wenjing walked into the room with a sweaty face and a worried expression.

"Lord Liu, why are you here?"

Wang Tong hurriedly got up and greeted him.

Although Liu Wenjing is now in the stage of despair, no one can deny his Yuan Cong's merits and Li Shimin's trust in him. Even if he is close to the first mastermind of Tiance Mansion such as Wang Tong, when he sees Liu Wenjing, he is respectful.

Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Lord Liu, why are you in such a hurry on this hot day?"

Sit back and have a drink...... Seeing that you are in a hurry, what is happening? ”

Liu Wenjing said: "Several, are you still in the mood to drink here?" Come back to the palace with me, something big is coming! ”

"Huh?"

"What happened?"

Liu Wenjing glanced outside, and said softly: "My brother just sent someone to inform me, saying that it was someone who was in the Lizheng Hall last night, and he hasn't come out until now. Early this morning, the Xitai side became a mess...... Several, the Turkic mission was ambushed in Leshouyuan, and the whole army was annihilated. His Majesty has sent someone to Yuhua Mountain to urgently summon the King of Qin to return, and it is estimated that he will arrive tonight. Everyone go back to the palace now, and don't act without permission! ”

When it was over, Liu Wenjing also whispered: "It is estimated that the imperial court will make a big move, at this time, don't provoke right and wrong." ”

Wang Tongcheng bit Jin Qinqiong and the others, and couldn't help but gasp.

The three of them looked at each other, only to feel their hearts pounding.

The Turkic envoy was ambushed and the whole army was annihilated? Which guy is this guy who went to ambush the Turkic mission?

"Lord Liu, do you know who did it?"

"It's not clear. However, the officials of Fengzhou are all the prince's people, and no matter who did it, the prince will not be able to escape the involvement...... His Majesty has ordered Yang Wengan, a squire of the Ministry of War, to personally go to Le Shouyuan to investigate the ambush of the mission.

Several, now is a critical moment, don't act rashly.

His Majesty was already worried about the Turkic affairs, but now that this matter has happened, he will inevitably be suspected of forcing the palace.

Whoever makes up for it now will be unlucky. ”

After speaking, Liu Wenjing left in a hurry.

There was silence in the room for a long time, Wang Tong swallowed his saliva, and said in a dry tone: "Rush back to the palace immediately." ”

――――――――――――――――――――As Liu Wenjing said, Li Yuan was extremely angry.

The Turkic mission was ambushed, which also put him in an embarrassing situation. Originally, he was still hesitant to negotiate with the Turks, but now it's okay, there is no need to discuss, the Turkic mission is gone! Then next, he is bound to face the retaliation of the Turks. The form did not allow him to think more about it, and it seemed that there was no other way than to fight the Turks.

Once the war with the Turks starts, what about the war in Jiangnan?

However, what made Li Yuan most angry was not the problem of fighting with the Turks, but this kind of behavior, which was suspected of forcing the palace.

The history of the Fenzhou Thorn, as well as the head of the march in Fenzhou, are all the people of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Even if this matter has nothing to do with the prince, the officials in Fengzhou are inevitably accused of dereliction of duty.

Moreover, this will make there a conflict between the prince and Li Shimin. Everyone knows that Li Shimin does not approve of peace with the Turks, and if this incident occurs, the prince will inevitably think that this matter has nothing to do with Li Shimin.

But with Li Yuan's understanding of Li Shimin, Li Shimin doesn't seem to have such courage.

So, who is framing Li Shimin?

The first thing Li Yuan thought of was Li Yanqing.

"Yang Zhen's subordinates, what are the actions?"

After Li Yuan walked out of the Lizheng Palace, he shouted and asked An Shize.

An Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The subordinates of the king of Henan are very peaceful. Du Ruhui led the troops and arrived in Cangzhou; Xu Shiji and Su Dingfang trained in Hejian, and Pei Xingyan was stationed in Dingzhou; Liu Heimin, Wang Fubao and others have all gone to their posts separately. Wang Fubao served as the head of the march in Xiangzhou, and Liu Heimin was also honest in Xiongzhou and did not make any moves.

Your Majesty, you won't doubt the king of Henan......"

"I don't know, I just think this matter has something to do with Henan Wangding."

An Shi was bold and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect to the old slave, this matter should have nothing to do with the King of Henan. The power of the king of Henan is mainly concentrated in the Heluo area, and there is no foundation in Guanzhong. Even, the king of Henan does not have a familiar person in Guanzhong, how to mobilize soldiers and horses? The Turkic mission consisted of seven or eight hundred people, and Ashina Sheer was brave and good at fighting...... It would take at least thousands of people to attack and be eliminated silently. Thousands of soldiers and horses were mobilized, how could the king of Henan not leak the slightest rumor? The old slave thought that this matter was absolutely impossible, and it was done by the king of Henan. ”

Li Yuan stared at An Shize with a pair of eagle eyes.

"Lao An, you seem to care about Yangzhen very much."

An Shi knelt down with a puff and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the old slave is just talking about things, and there is no favoritism. The old slave did not deny that he got along with the ninth master very happily back then, nor did he deny that he had a good impression of the king of Henan. But the old slave is by no means exonerating the king of Henan......"

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking."

Li Yuan rubbed his fingers lightly, "Actually, how can I hope that this matter has something to do with Yangzhen?"

It's just that there are not many people in Chang'an City who can do such things and have the ability to do such things, how can I not doubt Yangzhen?

After all, he made such a great contribution at the beginning, and I recalled him back to Chang'an, but I never made arrangements.

If you change people, I'm afraid this heart won't be too comfortable......"

This time, Ells did not say anything more.

"You old thing, you don't talk when you talk, and you talk when you don't let you talk."

"Your Majesty, the old slave is worried that you will be unhappy."

"What can I be upset about?"

"Your Majesty, at first glance, this matter seems to be related to the King of Henan. But if you think about it, your first reaction is the king of Henan, so will others have such thoughts? As for what the king of Henan thinks? The old slave can't say for sure. However, the old slave felt that the king of Henan was a person who valued love and righteousness. He can fight to offend His Royal Highness King Qin and avenge his father, which shows that he is still a young man. If you change to an old slave, you will definitely endure it and kill it without knowing it......"

"Ansz, you are talking more and more presumptuously!"

"The old slave deserves to die, please forgive your majesty."

Li Yuan waved his hand in great annoyance, "Forget it, what you said is not unreasonable." ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"If you have anything to say, you just say it, and you are getting more and more unhappy."

An Shi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty's concern is nothing more than a Turkic threat. The king of Henan is brave and good at fighting, and has the name of invincible...... When he was in Heluo, it can be said that he was strategizing and invincible. Why don't you invite the king of Henan to ......"

"No way!"

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Yang Zhen is indeed good at fighting, but I can't use him. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave didn't say that the king of Henan should be asked to lead the army, but that since Your Majesty can't make up your mind, why don't you find the king of Henan and ask him?"

"Oh?"

"The king of Henan is resourceful, and he can't say what good way to come up with."

When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"You're not bad, old thing...... In this way, I have ordered Erlang to rush back to Chang'an, and tonight I will discuss the affairs of the Political Palace, and let Yangzhen also participate.

His talent is indeed good.

By the way, I remember the method of renting and adjusting in Xingyang, and it worked well...... Tell him to come up with a charter. ”

Anshi knelt down to answer the order, and after getting up, he couldn't help but secretly wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Your Majesty's unrestrained thoughts are really unbearable!

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!"

Just as Li Yuan was about to return to the Lizheng Hall and continue to discuss things with Pei Lin and the others, Tian Feng ran over in a panic.

"Your Majesty, something happened......"

Li Yuan said angrily: "What's going on again?" ”

"Your Majesty, the fight has started, the fight has started......"

"What's the fight?" An Shi stepped forward and kicked Tian Feng over, "In front of Your Majesty, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"It's not the old slave talking nonsense, it's really fighting...... The people of the Qin Wangfu are fighting with the people of the Henan Wangfu! ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he felt a buzzing in his head.

"Erlang and Yangzhen?

Isn't Jiro still back yet? Why did you fight with Yangzhen? ”

"It's not that the two princes are fighting, yes, yes, yes......" The more anxious Tian Feng was, the more unclear he became.

"Don't panic yet, what the hell is going on?"

"Your Majesty, it is said that at noon, two disciples of the King of Henan went to Dongshi and were attacked. However, the two disciples of the king of Henan were also brave and did not suffer losses...... But for some reason, the two of them turned around and led people to Yu Chi Jingde's house, smashed the living room of Yu Chi's house, and injured more than a dozen of Wei Chi's subordinates. ”

"Wei Chi Jingde?"

Li Yuan frowned, "What about later?" ”

Later, when the three young men of the Wei Chi family learned the news, they took people to gamble on the gate of the Henan Palace.

After General Qin Yong heard about it, he was afraid that the three young men of the Wei Chi family would suffer, so he brought someone over to help...... Unexpectedly, the prince of Henan was not in good health, and the king of Henan happened to be at home...... After General Qin Yong passed, the King of Henan thought that General Qin Yong came to provoke him, and he was also very angry, so he ordered the Wansheng army to attack, and the two sides fought. ”

Tian Feng stammered, but finally explained the matter clearly.

When Li Yuan heard this, he was furious, "Under Erlang, there are more and more rules...... Immediately spread my message, and ordered King Zhao to immediately order all the soldiers and horses, and take down the Qin Yong for me. After Erlang arrives, let him stay in the Chengqian Palace, and without my will, he will not be allowed to leave the Chengqian Palace for half a step! ”
