Li Shimin stared at Wang Tong and was silent for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems that it is not surprising that Wang Tong chose Wei Chi Jingde, he seems very calm. After all, Li Yanqing humiliated Wang Tong, and even made Wang Tong live in Longmen Mountain for ten years, and the name of Wang Bainiu is almost well known. Even if Wang Tong says that he doesn't care about this system, there will always be some mustard in his heart. If you explain it from this perspective, it seems logical that Wang Tong chose Wei Chigong.

"The king may think that the reason why he chose this way is because Li Henan made me lose face back then."

Li Shimin smiled, "Isn't it?" ”

Wang Tong shook his head and said, "The matter of Luoyang General Hall is not Li Henan's fault. The root cause is that Tong was young and vigorous, his eyes were too high, and he was deceived by others, so he deserved to be humiliated. Wang Tong had no resentment towards Li Henan, and even thanked him from the bottom of his heart and respected him.

If it weren't for Li Henan, maybe Wang Tong would still be sitting in the dream of the frog at the bottom of the well, with empty eyes......

In the past ten years, he has lived in Longmen Mountain and studied the classics. At first, it was always difficult to be calm, but after a long time, many things became lighter.

Today, it is said that Wei Chi is elected, not for him, just because this Wei Chi can be used by the king, but Li Henan cannot. ”

The smile on Li Shimin's face gradually faded, and was replaced by a dignified color. He pondered for a long time and said in a low voice: "What does Bai Niu mean by this? ”

Li Shimin called Wang Tong a white cow, and there was no intention of humiliation.

In private, he often refers to the white bull as a sign of his closeness to Wang Tong. As for Wang Tong, he didn't think it was angry, but enjoyed it very much.

"Your Majesty, if Wei Chi Jingde is attached, will there be anyone in the court who is willing to protect him?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, shook his head and said: "He killed the ninth uncle, although he said that each of them was his own master, and he had no intention of doing it, but I am afraid there is no place for him." His father will not reuse him, and Li Henan will hate him to the core. As for the courtiers, there may not be anyone who can take a fancy to him. ”

"Ahh Wang Daodao: "In this way, if he is not loyal to assist the king, who else can he assist?"

He has no foundation in the court, like a rootless wanderer. Isn't the king like a tiger with such a warrior? Just imagine, the king, you have Wei Chi Qin Qiong and other fierce tigers, and Liu Wenjing and the eldest grandson Shunde are wholeheartedly supported. Counting the fact that King Zhao has always obeyed you, the world can go. ”

"But in this way, wouldn't it offend Li Henan?"

Wang Tong smiled, "What's the harm if you are offended?" Yes, Li Henan is indeed very prestigious and prominent now. But don't forget, the Marquis of Huaiyin in the early Han Dynasty, who also had prestige, died at the hands of a woman. On the whole, Li Henan is now arrogant, but when the world is peaceful, his people are in danger of being saved. If he were a foreign minister, His Majesty would not be able to tolerate it, but he would be a member of the clan...... Hehe, even if His Majesty can tolerate him, he will inevitably cut his authority. By that time, it is not yet known how much Li Henan can help with the king. ”

Li Shimin suddenly showed a look of sudden realization and nodded again and again.

"Yes, Li Yanqing is no better than a lieutenant to me."

Wang Tong's other words don't matter, but there is one sentence that won Li Shimin's heart.

He is known for his bravery, and since he joined the army on the 15th century, he has also experienced countless fierce battles. Yanmen Pass relieved the predicament of Emperor Yang of Sui, and after Taiyuan raised troops, he won many victories and made many military exploits. It's just that in the battle of Shallow Water Plain, he lost! Although it is claimed to the outside world that Liu Wenjing Yin Kaishan made his own claim, in fact...... But even so, Li Shimin is proud enough. In Li Tang's army, he should come first.

But no matter what he did, he was always under Li Yuan's dispatch.

Compared with Li Yanqing's support of the crisis in Xingyang alone, Li Shimin's various military exploits are a little insignificant.

Li Yanqing's military exploits are too outstanding, and his monopoly on the land of Henan is enough to make him famous. His father may spoil him and love him, but he will never allow Li Yanqing to make meritorious deeds again. Otherwise, if people talk about Li Tang, they will say Yanqing, where will Li Yuan's face be at that time?

Li Shimin doesn't want anyone to be higher than himself.

At the same time, he also knew that Li Yanqing could not belong to him. As a clan, he may have deviated in his attitude, but he will not be able to help the real caste. From this point of view, the role of a Wei Chigong is far better than that of Li Yanqing, who has become the king of freedom.

"In this case, I will be asked to surrender by the captain."

"Slow!"

Wang Tong stopped Li Shimin.

"The king can be surrendered, but not easily.

When the commander knew how much risk the king had to take for him...... Hehe, judging from the general situation, please ask Tang Jian to return to Jiezhou. ”

Li Shimin looked at Wang Tong and smiled knowingly.

******

In early May, the Battle of Shaanzhou ended.

This battle of Baibi came a year earlier than the battle of Baibi in history, and at the same time, it also made Liu Wuzhou's defeat one year earlier.

Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, after suffering a crushing defeat, fled to the Turks.

Li Shimin took advantage of the situation to advance eastward, and Wei Chigong went to Mayi, saying that the old department of Liu Wuzhou would be surrendered, so that Li Tang could obtain a large area of land east of Shaanzhou, and even took this opportunity to connect with the area ruled by Luo Yi of Zhuo County, completely control the northern line, and cut off Dou Jiande's connection with the Turks.

Under Dou Jiande's command, in addition to the common people, there are also many naturalized Hu people.

He received a large amount of funding from the Turks every year, but with the defeat of Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande was isolated in the Hebei region.

In the same month, Yao Junsu led 800 Rui soldiers and suddenly withdrew from Hedong.

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed when he got the news, and hurriedly waved his troops to occupy Hedong County, and led his troops to pursue.

However, after Yao Junsu crossed the river, he disappeared, and no one knew where he went. It was not until mid-June that news was obtained from Yangzhou that Yao Junsu had arrived in Jiangdu, and was immediately entrusted with an important task by Empress Xiao, worshipping Zhuguo, opening the palace with the three divisions, and General Zuo Wuwei, leading the army to attack Yuhang Shen Faxing.

However, how did this Yao Junsu get to Yangzhou?

You must know that after crossing the river from Hedong, you have to pass through the territory guarded by Li Yanqing, Wang Shichong, Li Shentong and others. He was able to reach Jianghuai from the Central Plains of many power patterns without realizing it, which has become a puzzle that many people are puzzled about...... However, soon, people's eyes withdrew from Yao Junsu and turned to Xingyang.

At the end of May, Qu Tutong broke Li Rail, conquered Wuwei County, and captured the Great Liang Emperor Li Rail.

In just half a year, Guanzhong has gone from constant turmoil to a relatively stable state. In particular, the 800-mile Qinchuan River has shown a good harvest, so there are more and more cars and horses and pedestrians coming and going in Guanzhong, and it seems that it has gradually restored the prosperity of the Kaihuang period in the past.

However, in Heluo, there is a tense trend......

Wang Shichong never imagined that Li Tang would solve the crisis in Guanzhong in such a short period of time.

At the same time, his peace talks with Li Yanqing reached an impasse. Li Yanqing didn't seem to have much interest in this alliance; In other words, Wang Shichong's conditions could not make Li Yanqing moved. However, he did not refuse the brothers Ouyang Xun and Du Youke Du Chuke sent by Wang Shichong to negotiate. Directly detained in Gongxian County, let the entourage return to Luoyang, and told Wang Shichong: "If you want to form an alliance, you still need to show sincerity...... I, Li Yanqing, have received the grace of Emperor Sui, and I have never been able to repay it. Please hand over the murderer of His Majesty, and then talk about anything else. ”

This majesty refers to the emperor and the lord.

Wang Shichong was the mastermind who killed Yang Tong.

Li Yanqing also knew that it was impossible for Wang Shichong to bow his head, but he asked Wang Shichong to hand over the murderer.

After a heated discussion in the court, Wang Shichong handed over Liang Bainian and Duan Yu...... These two people are both palace attendants, and to put it bluntly, they are eunuchs, and it is not a pity to die.

Wang Shichong said: "The people who killed Your Majesty are these two old slaves.

I didn't know about this before, it was completely Liang Bainian and Duan Yu's own initiative. I hand them over to you now as my sincerity. ”

However, what arrived in Gong County were only the two heads of Liang Bainian and Duan Yu......

Li Yanqing was noncommittal, but ordered two wooden statues to be made and knelt in front of the main mausoleum of Huangtai. As for the two human heads, they were abandoned by him into the wilderness, and they were left to the wild dogs to eat.

With autumn approaching, Xingyang County ushered in a bumper harvest.

In the first year of the implementation of the rent adjustment, it was a good start. With the arrival of new millet, the door of Luokou warehouse opened. A large number of Chen Su were sent to various armies, among which Liyangcang sent nearly 500 cellars of grain and grass, which made Xu Shiji's eldest grandson Wuji's army have enough food and salary.

However, the bumper harvest in Xingyang County made Wang Deren of Dongjun red.

Dongjun has become an isolated city, with Li Tang's soldiers and horses in the east and Yanqing in the west, which cannot be connected with Luoyang. It is up to him to prepare for the baggage. At the beginning, Wang Deren could also buy grain and grass from Li Shentong. But as his financial resources became weak, Li Shentong also stopped supplying. This makes Wang Deren have to find a new way out. Surrender Li Tang? He was hesitant...... With his current power, even if he surrendered to Li Tang, it would be difficult to be reused. Unless, he can have enough capital to gain a firm foothold in Li Tang Tangtang.

Where does this capital come from?

Wang Deren's gaze subconsciously fell on Xingyang County.

******

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is almost late autumn.

Heaven and earth are filled with a bleak atmosphere, solemn, chilling.

However, in Gongxian County, it is extremely lively.

In front of the Li Mansion, the lights are colorful, and there are chariots and horses arriving from time to time.

The retainers went in and out, and they were even more busy......

Li Yanqing hovered outside the bedroom, looking anxious. From time to time, he stopped and looked into the room, but the thick curtain blocked his view.

Du Ruhui was on the side and couldn't help laughing.

He suddenly turned his head and said, "Fifteen years ago, when I first met Yangzhen, he was still a boy with a hanging bun. I don't want to go fifteen years in a flash, and I used to be a goose boy, but I am also going to be a father...... Hehe, these years are unforgiving, and in the blink of an eye, I have passed the year of not being confused. ”

Next to Du Ruhui was a middle-aged man.

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"Yes, the three brothers haven't been together for more than ten years."

He is Du Ruhui's eldest brother, named Du Youke. Previously, he accompanied Du Chuke to Gong County, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Gong County, he would be detained by Yan Qing.

Today, Du Chuke serves as a teacher in the Qilin Pavilion, although he is not prominent, but he is also extremely comfortable.

In the gazebo outside the courtyard, many people gathered. In addition to the family of the eldest grandson, there are also Yanqing's friends and elders.

Pei Xingyan hugged Pei Xingjian and talked to people on the side.

Pei Renji took Pei Cuiyun's hand and asked something in a low voice. But looking at Pei Cuiyun's blushing face, I knew that it was something embarrassing.

No wonder Bae Renji is in a hurry!

Yan Qing married three wives and one concubine, and Wuqing was the youngest, but he was the first to have children.

Now, even Mao Xiaonian is pregnant, but as the oldest Pei Cuiyun, there is no movement. This couldn't help but Pei Renji was not worried, and asked Pei Cuiyun softly, did Yanqing bully you? Or do you not care about you anymore? Otherwise everyone else has a body, why don't you?

Pei Cuiyun shook her head again and again, indicating that Yanqing was very considerate to her.

It's just that this pregnancy is really uncertain......

She could only blush, listening to her father's nagging, not nodding her head in acceptance.

"It's been a long time, why hasn't there been any movement?"

"What are you anxious about? When Lizhu gave birth, didn't she wait for a long time? ”

Pei Xingyan and Yao Yixue muttered, and suddenly looked around as if they remembered something.

"Why don't you see Duoduo?"

At the door of the delivery room, even Mao Xiaonian came, but he didn't see the shadow of Duoduo.

Pei Xingyan couldn't help but ask curiously, just as Xue Li passed by him, he raised his head and said, "Erniang went out last month!" ”

"Out of the house? Where did it go? ”

"I don't know...... The teacher said that Erniang had very important things to do, so these words were all taught by the teacher himself. ”

"I see!"

"A barbarian woman is a barbarian woman, she is married, and she shows her face."

Pei Renji was obviously dissatisfied with Duoduo's behavior, and muttered on the side.

"Dad, how can you say that? When she goes out, she is doing business, not playing in the mountains and rivers. In fact, my daughter is envious of Duoduo and can help with her worries. You see me, I have no power to tie the chicken, and I really have to worry about it, but I can't share the slightest ...... for him."

"You can't say that, there is a way to ......"

At this moment, Shen Guang hurriedly ran over.

"Childe, the second lady is back!"

When Li Yanqing heard this, he hurriedly said, "Oh, where are you now?" ”

"The chariot has arrived outside the door, and Master Tanzong will accompany her back."

As he was talking, he heard a commotion outside. Li Yanqing hurriedly walked out, and saw Duoduo walking in a hurry, accompanied by everyone.

"Is Guanyin born?"

Without waiting for Yanqing to speak, Duoduo hurriedly asked.

Yan Hu on the side also showed nervousness.

Yan Qing said: "There seems to be a clue at noon, but this invited Wen Po, and she hasn't been born yet, so I'm really a little worried......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud cry of a baby suddenly heard in the delivery room.

In an instant, Li Yanqing froze in the distance as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Born, born!"

Almost at the same time, Duoduo, Xiao Nian, Pei Cuiyun and others shouted in unison, and they swarmed into the house.

Li Yanqing wanted to go in after him, but was blocked from going there.

"Li Langjun, you can't go in yet, wait a while and visit the little lady."

"Guanyin, she's okay......"

As she said this, Mrs. Gao walked out of the house with the baby in her arms. Hearing Li Yanqing's concerned inquiry, Mrs. Gao immediately showed a satisfied smile.

"Mother and child are safe...... Congratulations to the virtuous son-in-law, happy to have a noble son! ”

Li Yanqing's head buzzed, and he stood in place for a while, at a loss.
