"King Qin doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty is afraid that he has already made up his mind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the Chengqian Palace, Wang Tong smiled and comforted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty did not let Honglu Temple come forward, but urgently ordered the King of Henan to receive it, which has actually expressed Your Majesty's thoughts. It is imperative to fight with Jiangnan Erxiao, and there is absolutely no possibility of change. Even if Xiao Sui sent an envoy, His Majesty would not recognize his status...... In the eyes of His Majesty, the Sui Chamber has long been destroyed, and the Sui Room controlled by Empress Dowager Xiao is just a rabble. Therefore, His Majesty does not call him the envoy of the Sui State, but the envoy of Suzhou, and its intention is not difficult to understand...... Suzhou is just a place under the rule of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Wang explained like this, and Gu finally understood his father's intentions."

"Originally, Your Majesty didn't have to ignore the request of Suzhou...... However, thinking of Bai Niu, His Majesty ordered the king of Henan to come forward, I am afraid that he wanted to delay time. Perhaps His Majesty still has unresolved matters and must be cautious.

Therefore, His Highness only needs to prepare, and the minister believes that it will not be long before His Majesty will take action. At that time, naturally, everything will be clear. ”

"In this way, I will immediately send someone and order Xiaogong to prepare."

Li Shimin said and let out a sigh of relief.

"I just don't know, what is my father hesitating about now?"

"It's nothing more than a Turkic ear!"

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Yichen guesses that what Your Majesty is hesitating about now is nothing more than the threat of the Turks. ”

"Oh?"

"The Turks have always been a major problem for my Central Plains.

His wolf ambition is obvious...... Your Majesty is probably trying to consider a suitable candidate to deal with the Turks.

And for now, the most suitable candidate must be Henan Wang Chitose.

Hehe, it's just that Your Majesty is worried again, the status of the king of Henan is now extremely prominent, and you are the lord of the king of the first grade. The question is, how old is the king of Henan? He served as the king of one word at such a young age, and if he had meritorious deeds in the future, how should he be rewarded? If you don't give a reward, it will be difficult to convince the public; Bounty ...... Hehe, Your Majesty values the King of Henan very much, otherwise he would not be so hesitant. ”

Li Shimin smiled and didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously.

"Therefore, the attitude of the king of Henan will be the key to the battle of Jiangnan."

Li Jing said categorically, and Wang Tong also agreed.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Li Xuan, who was sitting on the side and had been silent: "San Lang, I have something I want to ask you for." ”

"Second brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"You also know that because of Jingde, my relationship with Yangzhen is a little awkward. My eldest brother is also very suspicious of me, so much so that I am afraid that I will cause unnecessary trouble. You have a good relationship with Yangzhen, so I want to ask you to go to Longqingfang to see if you can find out the intention of Yangzhen. Besides, he first came to Chang'an, and he was not familiar with the land, as a landlord, you should also do the landlord's etiquette and ask him to take a walk, are you willing to go? ”

The contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Yanqing is now spreading rumors in Chang'an.

Especially after Wei Chi Jingde was killed by Li Yanqing, Wei Chi Gong's three sons, Yu Chi Baolin, Yu Chi Baoqing and Yu Chi Baohuai, hated Yan Qing to the core. has shouted several times in private to seek revenge on Li Yanqing.

For this reason, the three of them frequently visited the Qin Wangfu and asked Li Shiming to do justice.

But after Li Shimin returned to Beijing, the situation was not too good.

The crown prince was extremely suspicious of him, and expressed his attitude in the court many times, hoping to cut Li Shimin's military power.

Of course, Li Jiancheng's excuse is very sufficient, and it does not reveal the slightest hint of targeting.

Li Jiancheng believes that Li Shimin has been very tired since the first year of Wude, after going through the Battle of Shallow Water Plain, the Battle of Baibi and the Battle of Luoyang.

Out of love for his brother, I hope that Li Shimin can rest a lot and don't have to work hard for the army.

There are many famous generals in Li Tang, and there is no need to let Li Shimin go out in battle...... Not to mention anything else, Li Xuanba is a general.

Since Li Tang raised his army, Xuanba has also participated in countless wars.

Especially in the battle of Liang Shidu, Li Xuanba not only recaptured Shuozhou, but even in several conflicts with the Turks, he did not fall behind. In addition, there is Li Yanqing, who is even more famous, why always bother Li Shimin to fight?

Although Li Yuan did not indicate his attitude, it could be seen that he was a little shaken...... In this case, Li Shimin needs to pull more help.

Perhaps, he and Yanqing can't be the same as back then, but there is no need to be too stiff. It's just that he is a general in the house, and he has a lot of gaps with Li Yanqing. If he came forward to win over Li Yanqing at this time, it would inevitably tear the Tiance Mansion apart.

Such a result is definitely not what he wants to see.

However, Li Xuanba has no such concerns.

Back then, Yanqing had a life-saving grace for Li Xuanba, and the two parties were still relatives. Li Xuanba came forward, and the people of Tiance Mansion would not have any opinions. Besides, although Li Xuanba is more pro-Li Shimin, he is even a core member of Tiance Mansion. But to a certain extent, Li Xuanba is another reading strength. He does not obey Li Shimin's orders and has his own power in his hands. Xuanba himself is extremely brave, a pair of sledgehammers, which can be called invincible.

Therefore, in Li Shimin's view, Xuanba is currently the most suitable person to come into contact with Li Yanqing.

Li Xuanba smiled slightly, "What should I do...... Hehe, even if the second brother doesn't say it, I plan to visit Brother Li early tomorrow morning. ”

Wang Tong and Li Jing glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Seeing that it was not early, Li Xuanba got up and said goodbye.

He has a habit of going to bed early and doesn't like to stay up late. Among Li Yuan's sons, Li Xuanba is definitely an outlier.

It's not fun, and there's nothing bad about it.

may be because of his illness in the early years, Li Xuanba's surname is very quiet.

He likes to read books and practice martial arts...... Even after Li Yuan rewarded him with the Wanchun Palace, he rarely lived in the palace.

More often, Li Xuanba lives in the barracks.

After returning to Chang'an, he was ordered to control the Beiya Forbidden Army, and he did not change this habit.

In this regard, Li Yuan also had a headache.

What is such a son thinking?

Not to mention Li Yuan, even Li Shimin sometimes can't figure it out.

"King Zhao's surname, it's too cold!"

After Li Xuanba left, Li Jing said suddenly.

Li Shimin was stunned, sighed and said: "San Lang has been sick since he was a child, and he is closest to his mother.

But since his mother died, Saburo has become like this......"

"If you have time, Your Highness should take care of him more."

Li Jing bit the word 'Zhaofu' very hard. Li Shimin was stunned, looked at Li Jing, and then looked at Wang Tong after a while.

Wang Tong lowered his head, as if he was asleep.

Li Shimin's heart couldn't help but move, and then said: "Lone has written it down!" ”

――――――――――――――――――It's late at night!

Li Jing and Wang Tong have long since left.

Li Shimin was still sitting in the study, looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand, but he didn't know where to fly in his mind.

A palace beauty walked into the study.

Li Shimin didn't seem to notice it, and he was still in a daze.

The light in front of him suddenly lit up, and he came back to his senses. Looking up, I saw that the palace beauty was lighting the candle.

"Xiuxiu, you haven't slept yet?"

This palace beauty is Li Shimin's wife, Princess Wen.

Princess Wen said: "The concubine was passing by here just now, and she saw that the lights were still on, so she came to visit. ”

"Oh, I was reading a book and I'm a little fascinated...... Hehe, Yangzhen is this Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the more you look at it, the more it tastes. ”

Princess Wen didn't speak, and looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

She was born in a Confucian family, her surname is quite supple, and she has known Li Shimin for many years.

As early as when Li Yuan was appointed as the Taishou of Lou Fu, Princess Wen met Li Shimin. Li Shimin was only eight years old that year, while Princess Wen was two years older than him.

Li Shimin said: "What do you think I'm doing? ”

"King Qin, you took the book down......"

"Ahh

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looked down, and realized that he had really taken the book upside down.

couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said softly: "Let Xiuxiu laugh...... Hehe, I thought about the period just now, and I seemed to be fascinated. ”

"Is it related to the king of Henan?"

"Oh...... Yes. ”

Immediately, Li Shimin shook his head again and again, "I can't say it." In fact, there is not much contradiction between me and Yangzhen.

So far, this situation is also a mistake.

When I accepted Wei Chi, I expected that Yang Zhen would be unhappy. But I didn't expect his reaction to be so violent.

This back and forth has become what it is today. I was thinking about how I met him in Gong County back then...... At that time, Yangzhen had just returned from Goguryeo and was ordered to stay at home and think about it behind closed doors. In my impression, Yangzhen's surname doesn't seem to be so tough. But in the blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and he seems to have changed as a different person. ”

"At that time, did you ever think that you would turn against Yangzhen?"

"This ......"

"He's changing, you're changing!" Princess Wen sat down next to Li Shimin and said softly: "If it was you a few years ago, would you let Wei Chi go?" ”

Li Shimin, silent!

When he was a teenager, wasn't he a surname with clear grievances?

Princess Wen said: "Your Highness, you and the King of Henan are no longer the teenagers of the past. Regardless of identity and status, they are all very different. The concubine remembered that you were also very close to the prince at that time, and even admired it a little...... But now?

Some things happen and they happen, don't think about it anymore. Instead of meditating on the past, it is better to think about the future. ”

Li Shimin nodded, couldn't help but reach out and hugged Princess Wen tightly in his arms.

"By the way, in Li Jing's words today, he secretly reminded me to pay more attention to San Lang."

"Oh?"

The meaning of the pharmacist's words seemed to mean that Saburo's mind was a little gloomy. Actually, I probably know some clues.

After his mother left, he was always dissatisfied with his father's concubine...... But my father is used to it...... I was thinking about how I could make Saburo happy. My father doesn't seem to be a little happy about him, and it's going on like this. ”

Princess Wen was silent!

She can comment on Li Yanqing and criticize Li Shimin.

But if Li Yuan is involved, it is not that she can speak casually.

After all, Li Yuan couldn't help but be the emperor and her father-in-law. A woman who has read poetry and books since she was a child, and asks for courtesy in everything, knows best what she can say and what she can't comment on.

Princess Wen thought for a while, "Otherwise, ask San Lang for a family affair?" ”

"Oh?"

"San Lang is also about to become a Ding, and it's time to get married!

The concubine knows some women, why don't you discuss it with your father and introduce one to San Lang? With a family, it's not the same after all. At least you don't have to stay in the barracks every day, this surname may be able to warm up. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, "If that's the case, you choose a few women from good families, and I'll tell my father about it?" "Very well! ”

The husband and wife chatted for a while, and Princess Wen said goodbye and left.

She didn't urge Li Shimin to rest early, but the more this happened, the more Li Shimin became infatuated with Princess Wen.

After sitting in the study for a while, Li Shimin got up and left.

Walking through the tortuous corridor, Li Shimin suddenly stopped, raised his head to look up at the bright starry sky, and said to himself: "San Lang, what are you thinking in your heart?" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――― early the next morning, Li Xuanba came to Longqingfang.

As soon as he dismounted, he saw a man come out of the palace. The man looked at Li Xuanba, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Third brother, are you also looking for Brother Li?"

"Sanhu, why are you here?"

The person who walked out of the palace was Li Yuan's young son, that is, Mrs. Dou's youngest son, Li Yuanji.

Mrs. Dou gave birth to five sons, Li Yuanji and the fourth.

Originally, there was a younger brother below Yuanji. However, when Li Yuan raised his army, he was caught by the Yin Shishi and killed.

Today, Li Yuanji lives in the Wude Palace, which is located next to the East Palace.

It is precisely because of this reason that Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng are very close.

He smiled and stepped forward to salute Li Xuanba, but Xuanba stretched out his hand and stopped him.

Among Yuanji's three elder brothers, Li Jiancheng is the most pro-Li Jiancheng, because Li Jiancheng is the crown prince; I hate Li Shimin the most, because Li Shimin is too capable and too dignified. So much so that no matter what he does, he will be compared with Li Shimin. At first, it was fine, but after a long time, disgust will arise. However, for Li Xuanba, Yuan Ji was only afraid.

This third brother is too tough!

Even brave, it made him feel terrified.

Li Xuanba is one year older than Yuanji, not as tall as Yuanji, and not as delicate as Li Yuanji. But when it comes to force, Xuanba is definitely the first among the sons of the Li family. When he was a child, Li Yuanji was beaten by Li Xuanba.

Therefore, even if Li Xuanba is pro-Li Shimin, Yuanji is also respectful to Xuanba.

"Oh, Brother Prince asked me to come and invite Brother Li to drink."

Xuanba frowned, "What about Brother Li?" ”

"I heard from the people in the house, Brother Li went to the post house early in the morning......

That is to say, Li Yuanji did not see Li Yanqing.

"Third brother, I'm going back to my eldest brother, if you have time, please drink together."

Li Xuanba smiled, counting as a nod of agreement.

Actually, Li Yuanji is just polite. Li Xuanba can't play with him, Yuanji knows it in his heart.

He likes to wear fine clothes, drive dogs and release eagles.

In layman's terms, Li Yuanji likes to be a gentleman.

Li Xuanba also likes to hunt, but more often, he regards hunting as a military eye. So in essence, the two people are very different. But when it comes to drinking, Li Xuanba is still a little interested. After Li Yuanji left, Xuanba stood in front of the palace, hesitated, and turned to get on the horse.

"Your Highness, you're not going in?"

The man who led the horse for him was a majestic and burly man.

This person's name is Liang Shitai, and in terms of seniority, he is Li Xuanba's junior brother. is also a good hammer, and has the courage of ten thousand people.

However, Li Xuanba's identity made Liang Shitai dare not call himself a senior brother.

Even if Xuanba is not King Zhao, the identity of a single Li Valve's son is far from being comparable to Liang Shitai.

Liang Shitai's ancestral home is Liangjiazhuang, Taiyuan, and he is the son of a local tyrant. After Li Yuan Taiyuan raised troops, Liang Shitai followed Li Xuanba, and now serves as the commander of the Zhao Palace, taking charge of Li Xuanba's personal soldiers.

Li Xuanba said: "You didn't listen to Sanhu, the king of Henan is not in the mansion?

He's not in the house, why should I go in...... Let's go, let's go to the Honglu Temple Post House, he should be there to talk about things. ”

Liang Shitai agreed, and also turned over and got on the horse.

But at this moment, a group of people walked out of the palace.

It was Liang Laoshi who was the leader, and he was ready to go out to do errands.

When Liang Shitai saw Liang Laoshi, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Liang is honest! ”

Liang was about to get into the car when he heard someone shouting his name, so he stopped and looked back.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, but Liang Laoshi was taken aback.

"Great, big young master?"

"Liang Laoshi, I finally found you!"

Liang Shitai gritted his teeth and urged the horse to pass.

Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called Liang Shitai, "Old Liang, what are you doing?" ”

He didn't know who this Liang Laoshi was, but he also knew that this Liang Laoshi was from Henan Wangfu. Li Yanqing, the king of Henan, is not a good talker. He dared to shoot Wei Chigong in front of Li Shimin in Luoyang, and had just provoked a big brawl between the two armies in Fengdu...... In case Liang Shitai hurts that Liang honestly, Li Yanqing will turn his face and deny people.

Liang Shitai said: "Your Highness, this kid was originally the son of my family.

In the early years, I secretly learned martial arts, and after I found out, I actually injured me...... At that time, I had just started to learn hammering, and I was not good at martial arts, and after this guy injured me, I didn't know where I had escaped. I've been looking for him for many years, and I've finally found it! ”

As he spoke, Liang Shitai shouted angrily: "Liang Honest, don't roll over for me yet!" ”

Liang honestly hesitated, but did not move.

He was indeed the son of the Liang family, but now, he is the family order of the Henan Palace, a serious court official.

"Liang Shitai, there was something wrong with me back then.

But after so many years, I went into exile in the world, and I was born and died, which can be regarded as a flatten...... Don't yell at me, I'm not afraid of you. ”

"You ......"

Li Xuanba waved his hand to stop Liang Shitai and urged him to step forward.

After looking Liang Laoshi up and down, he smiled and said, "Your name is Liang Laoshi?" A certain family is Li Xuanba, the king of Zhao. ”

Liang was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Humble Liang is honest, Xi is the family order of the Henan Wangfu, see Zhao Wang Chitose."

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Li's family order...... Hehe, Lao Liang, to be honest, it's been so many years, why bother about it? Chang'an City is so big, but there are only the two of you who come out of Liangjiazhuang.

In this way, the past is over, and in the future, you two brothers, how close and close you are, are you all a family...... By the way, honestly, do you know that Brother Li Wang is not in the mansion? ”

Liang Laoshi hurriedly replied: "Qi Yu Chitose, the prince went to the Honglu Temple Post House early in the morning, saying that he was going to visit an old friend, and now he is not in the house." ”

"That's right...... Then the king will not bother. ”

Li Xuanba spoke, and called Liang Shitai to leave.

"Lao Liang!"

"Whoa!"

"When I'm free, walk around more, drink and drink with this Liang honestly, and get close and close. He was ordered by Brother Li's family, and he thought that he was valued by Brother Li. It wasn't a big deal back then, so let's get past it. ”

Liang Shitai hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Since Your Highness said so, then I will spare this dog thing...... However, why did the prince need to be so close to Prince Li? I heard that Prince Li and King Qin don't deal with each other very well, but they are closer to the crown prince. You are like this, the King of Qin ......"

Li Xuanba smiled and said indifferently: "Lao Liang, you don't understand, you don't understand!" ”

(To be continued)
