Chapter 19: Lack of Money

As mentioned last time, Sun Simiao revealed to Li Yuan some unknown reasons for the fall of the Sui Dynasty that he knew. Li Yuanfang knew that there were such twists and turns in it, he always thought that Emperor Yang was tyrannical, but in fact he was just a pawn controlled by others, and Emperor Wen of Sui actually died from taking pills.

After digesting this information that surprised him, Li Yuan begged Sun Simiao to help him heal: "I have this so-called erysipelas. It's true that I didn't come by taking pills, and I hope that Mr. will lend a hand and rejuvenate him! Li Yuan's voice was earnest.

"Naturally, the old man believes that the saint will not deceive the old man, but this erysipelas can be described as extremely ruthless, and I am afraid that it cannot be lifted in a moment. The old man first prescribed a prescription, and the saint sent someone to grab the medicine, boiled three bowls of water to one bowl, and then passed the acupuncture points for the saint and temporarily suppressed it. The Holy One really can't work anymore, so it's better to plan early! Sun Simiao, as a doctor, thought about Li Yuan's body and admonished.

"I expected this! Arrangements have been made too! The results will be in a few days, and my three eldest sons are probably already planning their own plans now! "Li Yuan is very open-minded, he has been an emperor for almost ten years, and he is indeed very good at holding great power, but for the sake of his life, he can still let go.

Sun Simiao didn't say much when he saw Li Yuan's expression, and after bowing his hand to him, he withdrew from the Showa Palace, he knew that this emperor would definitely have some arrangements, which was not something that outsiders like him could listen to casually.

On the other side, Li Kuan didn't expect that the person Li Er visited would actually be him, who came to the small inn room in the West City in person as Li Er, and waited for almost an hour, waiting for this person?

The person who came in, Li Kuan, knew that he had dealt with before, this person was Chang He, he was a relative of the crown princess Chang, Li Kuan didn't know how many generations of distant relatives this relative was or what, anyway, this Chang He hadn't been promoted for a few years, and now he was still a city gate guard, but he was transferred from Mingde Gate to Xuanwu Gate, but now he seems to be a lot richer, the general's belly that has gradually become visible, and the double layer of meat on his chin are the sequelae left by perennial comfort.

"It is really my sin to wait for the king of Qin for a long time, but the prince has just been summoned, and the last general is lowly and small, so I dare not go!" As soon as he walked in the door, the general, who had been guarding the city gate for several years, began to complain, and very skillfully took himself out, putting all the blame for snubbing Li Er on the crown prince Li Jiancheng. It can be seen that in recent years, he has also learned a lot of ways to be an official in Chang'an, and he has played very slippery with a push of two, five or six.

"Don't dare, why should General Chang be like this, we Mingren don't say dark words, the lonely king came this time to ask the general, as long as the general helps when he arrives, there will be a good reward afterwards!" Li Er didn't make any false promises with characters like Chang He, and said straight to the point.

"I don't know if there is anything that the end will be able to help, as long as it can be done, the end will not give up!" Chang He didn't say it all, as long as one can do it, it will have a wide range, if what Li Er wants him to do is really difficult, then it can be said that his ability is insufficient, and he can't help.

"It's not a difficult thing, I just hope that General Chang will give the guards of Xuanwu Gate a day off on the day of the court meeting in a few days!" Qin Qiong said this instead of Li Er, for fear of being rejected by Chang He. If Li Er said directly, if Chang He refused, it would be a loss of face for King Qin, but for Qin Qiong, it would be different.

"This ......" Chang He was a little embarrassed, because the Xuanwu Gate was the north gate of the palace city, if the guard was empty, then a charge of dereliction of duty would be enough to ask him for the head of the six yangs, but if he didn't agree, the two tiger generals around Li Er would be enough to clean him up. This dilemma made a layer of cold sweat break out in his head all of a sudden, which is a matter of losing his head if he is not careful.

"What, it's embarrassing?" Cheng Biting Jin asked viciously, as if Chang He was about to tear him apart directly with a nod.

"This ...... If the saint condemns the crime, the last general can't afford it, this Xuanwu Gate is related to the safety of the palace, so many concubines in the palace, the prince and princess, if something goes wrong, the villain's head is not enough to compensate! Chang He broke out in a cold sweat and ran down his cheeks.

"You can rest assured, someone will guard the Xuanwu Gate instead of them!" Qin Qiong said out loud.

This sentence let Chang He know Li Er's plan: this is to replace the city gate guards with Xuanjia guards, and when the time comes, they will directly break this qiē at the Xuanwu Gate, so how can the uninformed prince and others be opponents. Chang He now understands this qiē, but he is on the boat, and it is impossible to go down.

"If General Chang still has any hesitation, can you do it for his sake, Yucheng?" Li Er pressed down the last straw and pointed to Li Kuan, who was sitting on the side and said silently.

Chang He only saw Li Kuan sitting there at this time, and arched his hand and said, "I didn't expect that the second son was also there, it's really ......."

"It's okay, I'm just going to accompany my father for a while! It's just that I didn't expect that my father attached great importance to General Chang! Li Kuan also bowed his hand and saluted back.

"This ...... Thanks to King Qin, he can afford to be below, so it will be disrespectful! "What else can Chang He do, Li Er has come up with a killer weapon, you must know that he Chang He owes Li Kuan's grandfather Yin Kaishan a life, which can't be compensated back, so now is the time to repay, if he refuses, then why should he Chang not see people!

"With the help of the general, the Lone King will definitely be able to succeed!" Li Er stood up and said to Chang He.

"The last general will let people prepare a banquet, although they only have a glass of thin wine, whether the king of Qin appreciates his face...... "Chang He is already familiar with some of the rules of officialdom, this is not just to serve Li Er, and he began to curry favor, what is this preparation, I am afraid it has been prepared a long time ago, if Li Er can convince him, or the benefits given by Li Er can impress her, then this so-called thin wine will appear, if the situation is the opposite, then there is no banquet, just serve tea and send it to guests.

"The Lone King still has things to arrange, but he really lacks skills, why don't you have a few drinks on behalf of the Lone King and General Chang?" Li Er was still a little unhappy that Chang He had been hanging him for almost an hour before, even if he was broad-minded, so he shirked it like this.

"Children should share their father's worries!" Li Kuan stood up and said respectfully. As soon as these words came out, they were directly decided, which surprised Li Er and Chang He.

Li Er was surprised that Li Kuan would interject at this time, didn't he know that he was beating Chang He? Why did you say yes in such a hurry?

Chang He was very surprised that this little prince helped him speak, King Qin was a little dissatisfied with himself, Chang He felt it, and he was anxiously regretting in his heart that he shouldn't pretend to be a step too late to let King Qin look down on himself, but he didn't expect to be relieved by this second son, it seems that this second son probably has something to do for him! Chang He's idea is very accurate, Li Kuan does have something to ask him to help with, although this matter is still uncertain, but he still has to plan early, he has been living in the barracks recently, and he really doesn't have time to run around. This time I came out thanks to the blessing of my grandfather, who has been dead for many years, and the next time I am afraid it will be the time for the Xuanwumen Incident! Maybe you can sneak out, but it's not like now, you can openly talk to a city gate guard like Chang He.

"That's it, Kuan'er remember to go back to the camp early, don't wander outside, now is not the past, Chang'an City is rumored and unstable!" Li Er explained Li Kuan's two sentences, and left with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin.

Li Kuan and Chang He ate and drank in this small inn, and took more than an hour before leaving, during which the two said something, but no third party knew, but when leaving, Li Kuan was very cautious and explained to Chang He: "Don't forget!" ”

Back in the barracks, it was almost dusk, but Sun Simiao also came back from the palace, Li Kuan had been looking for this old doctor since last night, and now that he saw someone, he naturally wanted to visit and have a long talk. During this time, the two seemed to have an argument, and there was still a faint smoke in the place where they were talking, but both of them finally laughed and said goodbye to each other, leaving only the guard on duty far away to express confusion.

Li Kuan finally returned to his tent and began to take stock of what he had done today, it was not bad, he had done a lot of things, at least two key elements of his plan, but there was still a problem, that is, the most critical part of his plan, there was nothing needed.

Originally, this thing could be bought with money, and it could also be exchanged for energy points and systems, but now he has no money and no energy points, so he can only worry in vain, everything is ready, but the most critical east wind does not know where to blow from, which is simply urgent.

Li Kuan kept pacing in circles in the tent, muttering in his mouth: "Money is money, money is connected, life is connected, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, money is not omnipotent, but no money is absolutely impossible." I still can't think of a way to read these famous sayings of later generations.

But he didn't know that while he was muttering these things, a figure was listening outside the tent, with a smile on his lips.

The night was blank and shrouded. Tired birds on the horizon are starting to return to their nests, and the stars are popping up, blinking in the beautiful night sky. Li Chengqian and Li Ke had already fallen asleep, and Li Kuanpan was sitting on the bed, still worrying about money. Even he had the idea of being a gentleman on the beam, but a voice came from outside the tent: "Kuan'er, my father knows that you haven't slept yet, come out!" ”

Li Er's voice made Li Kuan temporarily break away from the entanglement, and walked out of the tent, where Li Er was standing outside.

"Father! I wonder what is the matter with calling the child out? Li Kuan asked.

"Take you somewhere!" Li Er was wearing a dark coat, the night wind blew the hem of his clothes, and the beard on his chin swayed in the night wind.

"Where?" Li Kuan was puzzled.

"You'll find out when you go!" Li Er didn't say anything, and directly took Li Kuan out of the camp, and a carriage outside the gate was already waiting. And next to the carriage, the eldest grandson was standing in the night breeze, waiting for the two of them.
