The third year of Wude, early autumn. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The scorching heat of summer is finally over, but the autumn tigers are still raging. The wind blowing from Zhongnan Mountain has a little autumn, but it still can't hide the residual heat. However, compared with the heat of the hot season, Chang'an at this time has a bit of autumn and refreshing taste.

The weeping willows on the shore of Longqing Lake are still verdant.

Lying high in the bamboo building, you can have a glimpse of the autumn mood in the garden.

Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh leisurely, and sat down quite idlely, his legs were sane, and he had no elegant demeanor.

With the beautiful hair under his chin, moving with the majesty, he took a sip of Shiya fragrant tea, and his face showed a bit of lazy color.

"I miss it so much!"

"What do you miss?"

Li Yanqing and Fang Xuanling sat side by side and asked curiously.

"Of course, it's the laid-back of the past."

Yan Qing smiled, "Actually, you still have a chance to enjoy this leisurely time again." ”

"It's hard!"

Fang Xuanling sighed, "I'm going to go back." ”

Li Yanqing did not speak, his eyes stared at the path in the garden, as if he was contemplating.

Fang Xuanling sat up straight and asked softly: "Yangzhen, with the current situation of Jiangnan, how long can you resist Li Tang?" ”

Li Yanqing glanced at Fang Xuanling and smiled suddenly.

"If I command the army, I can sweep through the south of the Yangtze River in half a year."

"Half load?"

"The old house, now the general trend, the queen mother has supported it with a female stream until now, which is already a good thing.

Although the young emperor is assisted by the Zhang family, there is your Fang family inside, and Yao Junsu, Du Fuwei, and Xie Yingdeng are all brave and good at fighting, but they are still a little weak after all...... Even if you annex Xiao Miao, it will be impossible to resist Li Tang's army.

Not to mention the inside of Houliang, there are many factions.

Dong Jingzhen and his ilk support the army and respect themselves, and even Xiao Mo could not be dispatched. Xiao Mian surrendered, but it didn't mean that Dong Jingzhen and his ilk would bow their heads. If Your Majesty has not made up your mind, you will be given a chance to breathe for three or five years, and you will not be able to say that there is still a war between the north and the south. But now...... Lao Fang, do you know why I don't agree to negotiate peace? Once peace is negotiated, the situation of division between the north and the south will inevitably reappear. At that time, the war will be raging, and it will be the people of Li who will suffer, which is really not what I want. ”

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be silent!

Li Yanqing didn't speak again, but quietly drank tea and looked at the autumn in the garden.

The Sui and Tang Rebellions were actually the last East-West confrontation in Chinese history. At this time, the south was far less prosperous than in the Song and Ming dynasties. The so-called two lakes are ripe, and the situation that the world is full has never appeared...... The south is far from being an opponent in Guanzhong.

If the real development of Jiangnan is concerned, it should be in the Song and Song dynasties.

At this time, in the south, the two lakes were still relatively desolate, and the two lakes were even more wild.

The so-called wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is only limited to the Jiangsu region in later generations, and even Zhejiang has not yet been developed.

Moreover, as Yan Qing said, it is not easy for Empress Dowager Xiao to reach the current level with a female stream.

Empress Dowager Xiao is alive, and everything is fine.

If the Empress Dowager Xiao dies, Xiao Sui will inevitably be in chaos.

Actually, why doesn't Fang Xuanling understand this truth?

It's just that he's hard to ride a tiger now. Historically, Fang Yanqian has not been reused by Yang Guang, so it has given Fang Xuanling more room for maneuver. And now, with the change of Fang Yanqian's fate trajectory, Fang Xuanling's fate has also changed dramatically. Fang's father and son stayed in Danyang and lost the best opportunity to take refuge in Li Yuan.

Even if Fang Xuanling has the heart now, he has to follow Xiao Sui and go all the way...... "Yangzhen, will you lead the army?" ”

Fang Yanqian suddenly asked a very critical question.

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a lot of confusion.

Li Yuan, will he be in charge of the army again?

He himself is not sure!

What is certain is that after the sneak attack on the Turkic mission in Leshou County, although Li Yuan still showed favor for him, he was a little distant. After all, the Turkic mission was attacked, and the biggest suspect, in addition to Li Shimin, was Li Yanqing. Both men belonged to the representatives of the hawks, and were far more hostile to the Turks than the others.

But in reality?

This incident is indeed from Li Yanqing's plan.

However, the person who cooperated with Li Yanqing was not Li Shimin, but Li Xuanba.

Faintly, Li Yanqing had a strange feeling. Li Xuanba, who is honest and honest on the outside, is far from the stupid boy Li Yuanba mentioned in the wild history. On the surface, Li Xuanba only has two assistants, Wang Junke and Liang Shitai. But in fact, he seems to have some unknown hole cards in his hand. For example, this attack on the Turkic mission, Li Yanqing was even more sure that Li Xuanba was by no means idle.

In Li Xuanba's words, he hates intrigue in Chang'an.

Whether it's the eldest brother or the second brother, it's all his brother. Unlike Li Yuanji, he really didn't want to be involved.

But what does he really think?

Li Yanqing has not yet guessed ...... "Raise the truth, raise the truth?" ”

"Ahh

Li Yanqing came back to his senses and looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Why, the famous Banyuan Jun, Li Wuving, the dignified King of Henan, seems to have a lot of troubles!"

Yan Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and didn't answer Fang Xuanling's words.

"I was thinking about things a little bit just now, what did I do?"

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Before I went to Chang'an, the Queen Mother called me alone and asked me to bring you a word. ”

Yan Qing tilted his head, "What words?" ”

Huh-Fang Xuanling let out a long breath and said softly: "Originally, I didn't want to say it, but from the current point of view, Jiangnan will fight sooner or later."

The Queen Mother asks you, if you can't do anything, can you do it? ”

It can be seen that Fang Xuanling was a little reluctant to ask this sentence.

Li Yanqing was also stunned, and suddenly appeared in his mind, the graceful posture of the Empress Dowager Xiao. Back then, Empress Dowager Xiao favored him. Now, although he has turned his back on the Sui family, Empress Dowager Xiao still seems to retain trust in him.

My heart fluttered: If it wasn't for my father's relationship at the beginning, would I really take refuge in Li Tang?

Li Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little entangled in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, he said softly: "The Queen Mother can descend, Brother Fang can descend, but the Zhang family and Emperor Sui cannot descend." ”

"Why?"

"Don't you hear about Emperor Gong's death?"

Emperor Gong, that is, Emperor Gong of Sui, acting king Yang Yu.

After he took the Zen position, he lived in Yiningfang. However, in the second year of Wude, he died suddenly at the age of sixteen, younger than the emperor.

Externally, he is seriously ill, but in fact?

At least Li Yanqing didn't believe it! How can a lively young man say that he is dead?

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be silent, and after a long time, he asked, "Why can't the Zhang family descend?" ”

"Zhong Jian's talent is longitudinal, and Zhang's dominates the south of the Yangtze River.

In the old house, Chang'an can already accommodate the down-and-out wealthy families, but it can't accommodate a strong family that can affect half of the country.

If the Zhang family falls, it will inevitably be suppressed. With Zhongjian's eldest brother's surname, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand this kind of grievance. When the time comes, once it repeats, it will inevitably be a disaster...... Lao Fang, these words came out of my mouth and into your ears, and I would never admit it outside. ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly laughed!

"What if you? Can you tolerate Zhongjian? ”

Li Yanqing raised his head and stared at Fang Xuanling for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can't tolerate it!" ”

"I see......"

"The old house, in fact, is very big in the world.

The unification of the Central Plains is imperative, and no one can stop it. Although the queen mother has the power to scheming, it is a pity that she is not a daughter, and it is difficult to turn the tide...... By the way, what is the current situation of Zhangjia Dock? I have a gift that I would like you to pass on to Brother Zhang. ”

"What gift?"

Li Yanqing did not answer, but got up and walked into the bamboo building.

Fang Xuanling didn't follow up, but his heart was full of curiosity.

After a while, Li Yanqing walked out with a scroll. The scroll is about 150 centimeters long, and when unfolded, it is two meters long. Hanging it on the two pillars, Li Yanqing pointed to the scroll and said softly: "This is the Central Plains!" ”

Fang Xuanling gasped and stood up.

This scroll is a map...... However, Fang Xuanling was sure that he had never seen such a map.

I thought that the Central Plains was big enough, but on the map, it seemed so small.

Li Yanqing also ignored Fang Xuanling's reaction, pointed to a point on the map, and said with a smile: "You are willing, this is Chang'an."

Chang'an is very large, but in fact, it is very small.

The Central Plains is very large, but compared with the whole world, it is only a corner...... Here, there is a country, formerly known as the Great Qin, also known as the Roman Empire, but now it has decayed and become fragmented; Here, called Egypt, has the same culture as the Central Plains. Look at this place again, it's called Oceania, and it's still a wilderness...... And here, here......"

Li Yanqing gushed endlessly, not caring at all about Fang Xuanling's stunned face.

It's a hand-drawn map of the world, but it's very rudimentary, just an outline.

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he put the map away again and handed it to Fang Xuanling.

"When I go back, give it to Brother Zhang.

I believe that Brother Zhang will definitely be able to make the final choice...... Is it a fight to the death that you know you can't do, or is it a step back and open up the sky? It's all in his thoughts. Returning to the Queen Mother on my behalf, I didn't fulfill the promise I made back then, but there is only so much I have done...... He said that when my soldiers came to the city, he also asked the Queen Mother to forgive me for my offense. ”

Since the change of banner, Yan Qing has been thinking about how to face the Empress Dowager Xiao.

What is certain is that sooner or later there will be a battle between Li Tang and Empress Dowager Xiao, and at that time, how should he choose?

That's all he can do.

As for Fang Xuanling?

What choices will be made?

Li Yanqing didn't know. But he believes that with the ability of Fang's father and son, he will definitely make the most correct choice...... Fang Xuanling took the map, but he couldn't speak for a long time!

In the autumn of the third year of ———————————————————————————— Wude, Li Yi, the king of Yanjun, finally agreed to withdraw from Youzhou under Li Yuan's extremely strong posture.

Subsequently, Li Yuan named Li Yi as the general of Tianjie and gave Yiningfang to Li Yi. The young son Li Cheng was named the right guard of the East Palace, and the official rank was the fourth grade.

Li Cheng, only twenty-two years old, is the same age as Li Shimin and Li Yanqing.

Skilled in guns and horses, brave in killing, and enjoys a great reputation in Youzhou...... After the edict was issued, Li Jiancheng was overjoyed. He has many strategists under his command, but compared to the King of Qin, he has a little less deterrence of force.

Li Cheng's joining of the East Palace also made Li Jiancheng's strength skyrocket immediately.

And Li Yuan then issued an edict to the north of Suizhou and set up Yinzhou. Feng Li Yi was appointed as the governor of Yinzhou, and cooperated with Li Xuanba to guard Mobei.

Xin Wenli was named the assassin of Youzhou and the position of governor.

In the same month, Du Ruhui was again accepted the edict and transferred from Cangzhou to Jizhou as the head of the march.

This Jizhou is in the northeast of Youzhou.

Geographically speaking, Jizhou is undoubtedly a bitter cold place, one level lower than Cangzhou. Moreover, if Du Ruhui was stationed in Jizhou, he would face the attacks of the Khitan, the Yan Dynasty, and even Goguryeo. To put it mildly, Du Ruhui was sent to Jizhou, which is somewhat similar to exile. It was a dangerous place, ready for war.

If Youzhou is the front line, then Jizhou is undoubtedly the front line.

After Li Yuan exiled Du Ruhui, he immediately issued an edict to transfer Wang Fubao and Luo Shixin to Jizhou.

To Xiongwu and Jingsai two folds to Chongfu, Wang Fubao is the general of Xiongwu, and Luo Shixin is the general of Jingsai, assisting Du Ruhui.

Before the arrival of mid-autumn, Li Yuan issued an edict again, appointing Liu Heimin as the general of Jimen and garrisoning Juyong Pass.

At this point, while Li Yuan did a good job of defending against the Turks, he also took advantage of the situation to leave Li Yanqing's subordinates in the Heluo area and transferred them to the empty place, so that Qu Tutong was logical and firmly controlled Luoyang, Zhengzhou and other places...... Mid-Autumn Festival, full moon.

Li Yanqing sat in the garden admiring the moon, and his two daughters sat on his legs.

Pei Cuiyun and Mao Xiaonian arrived in Chang'an on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After months of not seeing each other, the family is finally reunited.

Along with Pei Cuiyun and Mao Xiaonian, there are also Xiong Kuohai and Ma Zhou.

Since Xu Shiji was stationed in Liyang, Ma Zhou has been serving under Xu Shiji's account. This time, he was ordered to come to visit Li Yanqing.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty seems to be very dissatisfied with you!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Lao Du was purely affected by the city gate, and Cangzhou was sent to Jizhou before he could sit firmly. ”

Yan Qing smiled slightly, and did not argue.

Ma Zhou said softly: "Lord Wang, Manager Xu is very unhappy about this. ”

Li Yanqing said: "The Holy One has his own reasons for making such arrangements.

When you go back, tell Shiji, let him train with peace of mind, and don't take care of Chang'an's affairs...... Keming's trip to Jizhou is not necessarily a bad thing. At least he still has two Zhichong Mansions in his hands, Wang Fubao and Luo Shixin, both of whom are his own people. ”

"But ......"

Ma Zhou wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered, "In Yangzhen's words, Your Majesty's trick is called a slap to a sweet date." Hehe, now that the slap has been made, this sweet date is probably about to be delivered. ”

"Auxiliary, Hugh is nonsense."

Li Yanqing suddenly snorted coldly, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately closed his mouth.

"It's all your own people here, and it doesn't matter if you speak presumptuously. But if it becomes a habit, sooner or later it will kill you. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stuck out his tongue and picked up Li Yuzhen from Yan Qing's lap.

Xiao Yuzhen didn't seem to be in tune with Wuji's aura, and as soon as he left Yanqing, he immediately babbled and opened his arms, wanting to return to Yanqing's arms.

Li Yanqing smiled, snatched Yuzhen back, and held it in his arms.

He said to Ma Zhou: "When the festival is over, go back and tell Shiji."

Let's just say that the time is not yet ripe, so he should not act rashly...... This king is all well in Chang'an, and he should not be worried. ”

Speaking of which, Ma Zhoushi came out of the Qilin Pavilion with an indelible Qilin Pavilion brand on his body.

This is also Li Yanqing's henchman, and when Li Yanqing speaks, he naturally has nothing to hide.

Ma Zhou nodded and agreed.

But Li Yanqing raised his head and said as if talking to himself: "At this point, I think it's time for Erlang to make a move!" ”

This sentence was said very suddenly, and Ma Zhou couldn't understand it.

But the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up, and he nodded subconsciously, "The crown prince is getting stronger and stronger, if King Qin doesn't make a move, I'm afraid it will be too late......"

What shot?

What's too late?

Ma Zhou looked at Li Yanqing and eldest grandson Wuji in amazement, and his face showed a blank look.
