Chapter 71 Don't repeat the same mistakes
readx;
Li Xiaoji died in Shaanzhou, which was covered up by the news of Li Mi's death and did not receive anyone's attention. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even Chang'an is only known to a few people. There were many reasons for this, but the most important was that Li Yuan had to hide the news of the defeat in Shaanzhou in order to avoid large-scale unrest in Guanzhong. Jincheng County has just been pacified, and Xue Rengao's whereabouts are unknown, but the influence of Western Qin is still there. In addition, Li Liang is ready to move, and he is not subject to Li Tang's official position, and his self-reliance has been revealed; And the Liang division capital of Shuozhou, with the help of the Turks, also gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, eyeing the tiger...... Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong made Li Yuan choked, and if the news of the defeat in Shaanzhou spread, it would inevitably cause panic in Chang'an and even Guanzhong, and make the good situation go down the drain.
Therefore, Li Yuan had to deal with it in a low-key manner......
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the eastern capital has not yet fallen.
At this time, if Yanqing is informed of Lee Hyo-gi's death, it will inevitably have a huge impact. Li Yuan loves Li Yanqing very much, but it doesn't mean that he will believe it 100%. How can an emperor completely trust a certain person? This vigilance must not be diminished.
Li Yuan did not send anyone to inform Yanqing of his death, and Heluo was in the turmoil of redivision of strength after Li Mi's death.
As for Liu Wuzhou, he didn't care how much benefit Li Xiaoji's death would bring him. After all, whether it is Liu Wuzhou or Song Jingang, in their eyes, Li Xiaoji is just an ordinary clan. Li Hu has seven sons, and there are dozens of heirs. And the real famous ones are headed by Li Yuan. The reputation of Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Baiju and others is much higher than that of Li Xiaoji.
After all, in the past nearly 30 years, Li Xiaoji has been incognito, hiding in the east of the province, and he has not even had a place to stay, let alone his reputation.
Later, he contacted Li Valve, Longyou, and dredged the trade routes of the Western Regions for Li Yuan, although he helped Li Yuan a lot, but he never left his name. Even if Li Xiaoji was crowned King Yong, it did not make Liu Wuzhou pay too much attention. To tell the truth, under the rule of Shaanzhou, even the reputation of Shi Tangjian, the governor of Shaanxi, is much higher than that of Li Xiaoji. Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, and Li Yuanji, the governor of Bingzhou, were more concerned.
If Li Yuanji is captured, it will be able to deal a blow to Li Yuan's prestige, and it will also enable his own side to gain a favorable position in the future.
Although Wei Chigong killed Li Xiaoji, he didn't know who he killed. After Li Xiaoji's subordinates snatched Li Xiaoji's body back to Jinyang, Tang Jian also felt that the stakes were important, so he kept it a secret, and sent his cronies to send Li Xiaoji's coffin to Chang'an, and then nervously prepared for war.
At this time, the eyes of people all over the world were attracted by Heluo.
Even Dou Jiande, who was closest to Shaanzhou, had never realized the mystery...... Because, Yu Wenhua and the emperor in Pingyuan County!
The winter of the first year of Wude was really lively.
It is very appropriate to describe it as 'you sing and I will appear'.
In Henan, Li Yanqing sniped Li Mi, and the war calmed down; Hebei, Yu culture and enthronement, Dou Jiande mobilized soldiers and horses, and Yu culture and launched a fierce battle.
Historically, after Yu Wenhua was defeated by Li Mi, he fled to Wei County to claim the emperor.
It's just that now Li Yanqing has occupied Ji County, which happens to be the only way to Wei County. Yu Wenhua and panicked like a lost dog, how dare to provoke Li Yanqing? Therefore, the four passes of Jibei County were chosen as the breakthrough point, and after forcibly crossing the Yellow River, they occupied a small part of the towns in Qinghe and Pingyuan County.
Although Yu Wenhua and the fiasco, the strength still exists.
There are still tens of thousands of good war achievements under his command, and the eldest son Yuwen Chengdu is a first-class general in the world.
After Yu Wenhua and the emperor in Pingyuan County, he ordered Yuwen Chengdu to guard the Changhe River (now Dezhou, Shandong), hold the line of Yongji Canal, and go north to seize the entire Pingyuan County, and to the south, there is Qinghe County to rely on. To the east, it is the Yellow River moat that has begun to thaw, and to the west, there is a fierce battle between Yuwen Chengdu and Dou Jiande, which can be described as killing four birds with one stone. Yuwen Zhihe is the prime minister, sitting in Qinghe County, echoing Chengdu. In the past, he was known as the old minister of the Sui Dynasty, and Pei Shiju, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, was named Shangshu Ling to help govern the entire Qinghe County......
Pei Shiju, the patriarch of the Pei clan with the fourth surname in Hedong, is scheming and calculating, and has contact with the five surnamed Qiwang families.
This man is quite capable of governing the world, and he is extremely tactful and good at self-preservation. Yu Wenhua detained Pei Shiju's two sons-in-law, which also made Pei Shiju a rat taboo. In addition, Yu Wenhua also appointed Yu Shinan as the secretary and supervisor, and its team has formed a prototype. Under such circumstances, how could Dou Jiande pay attention to the war in Shaanzhou again? However, he knew that Liu Wuzhou's conquest of Jiezhou threatened the security of Shaanzhou.
But, that's all......
******
The winter rain is very cold, but it seems to be a little warmer than before.
No more dripping into ice, no longer frozen for thousands of miles. After a night of winter rain, everything seems to be smiling. The east wind swept through the winter rain, washing away a bit of chill for the depression of midwinter.
Yanqing didn't sleep all night and stood in front of the window.
Through the bamboo window, you can see the garden outside the window, which seems to be faintly revealing a trace of emerald.
On the desk behind him, there is a pair of brocade silks. The handwriting is dark red, faintly blackened. Under the light of the candle, a line of handwriting on the brocade silk is very clear: May the next life not give birth to the emperor's family.
That was the last words left by Yang Tong, the lord of the Sui Emperor.
Li Yanqing returned to Gongxian yesterday, but before he could sit down, he learned that Zhang Yin, the former supervisor of the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, came to defect with the coffin of the emperor.
In fact, Yan Qing has known Zhang Yin for a long time, but he has never seen it.
Previously, Lu Yin came to ask for help on the order of Yang Tong, but Yan Qing avoided it. It's not that he doesn't want to see him, it's that he can't see it, and he can't see it.
What if you see it?
Could it be that he promised Yang Dong that the inside should be together with the outside?
At that time, he had already learned of Li Mi's intentions, and was planning to take this opportunity to get rid of Li Mi and create conditions for Li Shentong to lobby Shandong.
Yan Qing thought he was very hard-hearted!
Anyway, in history, the emperor finally died under Wang Shichong's hands, and he was just a repetition of the old things, so what burden did he have?
However, when he saw Yang Tong's last words, he couldn't help crying.
Many people think that the reason why Li Yanqing cried was because he was loyal to the Sui family and grieved for Yang Tong. But Yanqing knew in his heart that he was like this because of guilt. That night five years ago, he and Yang Tong met in a hurry, and they have not been in touch since.
At that time, Yang Tong was only a twelve-year-old child, and the impression left on Yan Qing was not profound.
Maybe Queen Xiao is almost as beautiful as a demon, and she is more impressed...... That is, on that night, Yan Qing promised that he would assist the Sui room. Since then, because of this promise, he has risen step by step, from a white body, to a general of the Black Stone Guan Ying.
Of course, there is Yang Guang's appreciation in this, but more of it is promoted by Empress Xiao and Yang Tong.
originally thought that he would not be sad, but when he really faced all this, his heart throbbed a little!
I, Li Yanqing...... The past and present lives combined, have lived for a lifetime. But I couldn't fulfill the promise I made to a child, and even brazenly calculated the child. Even I'm proud of it, and I'm doing it, right?
He didn't dare to think about it, so he hid in the bamboo building alone and stayed awake all night.
Standing in front of the window, Zhang Yin kept coming to mind...... Oh, his real name is Lu Yin, and he is a disciple of the Fan Yang Lu family. When Lu Yin was in the lobby, the scene when he was in tears, and Lu Yin's trembling voice narrated.
"Your Majesty knows that there is no escape, so he made three vows in front of the Buddha.
…… Li Langjun, Your Majesty asks the Buddha to bless Langjun and avenge him. There are also Yun Dingxing and Wang Xingben...... Real beasts too! ”
Yun Dingxing, Wang Xingben?
Li Yanqing firmly remembered these two names.
However, when Lu Yin denounced Wang Shichong and others as beasts, he couldn't help trembling slightly in his heart.
Wang Shichong They are beasts, but what about themselves?
Li Yanqing held the window with both hands, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
The bamboo window ridges were shattered in his hands. The sharp bamboo thorns stabbed into his hands, making his hands drenched in blood. Slowly, Li Yanqing squatted down, knelt in front of the window, and sobbed quietly. This mental torture made him unable to bear it any longer.
That's right, in his previous life, he was an official, and he had seen countless dumps.
But that kind of political overthrow, although tragic, has not reached such a cruel level. The crime does not affect the family, and it is basically inapplicable in political struggles. Any form of political struggle will inevitably affect the family. But as for death? Li Yanqing really didn't experience it. Perhaps only in the turbulent years of memory have such a thing. With the development of society, more often than not, the emphasis is on political balance and compromise, although there is a saying of extermination, but the surname of the person is rarely taken.
And now, a seventeen-year-old boy is ......
I thought I was used to everything in this era, but in the end, I found that I was not cold enough and cruel enough.
"Xianggong, are you upstairs?"
Downstairs, there was the call of Duoduo.
Li Yanqing hurriedly raised his head and reached out to wipe away the tears on his face.
Originally, after he came back yesterday, he should have been reunited with his wife and family. But because of Yang Tong's matter, he really couldn't bear it, and he hid in the bamboo building alone, wanting to ask for a moment of peace.
Footsteps sounded a little messy.
Duoduo was the first to ascend the bamboo tower, and behind her, Pei Cuiyun and Wujian followed closely, while Xiao Nian walked behind.
"Yangzhen, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yanqing turned around, turned around and smiled: "It's okay, it's just that my eyes were blinded by the wind." ”
"Xianggong is lying, how can there be wind outside?"
The eldest grandson ran over with a grin and hugged Yanqing's arm. She looked up at Yan Qing's face, and her eyes showed concern.
Stretched out his hand and gently wiped Yan Qing's face.
"Little brother is ashamed, he secretly hides and cries his nose alone."
"I didn't cry my nose, I said that I was blinded by the wind and sand...... No nonsense, just now, a gust of wind blew. ”
Outside the building, the drizzle is drizzling, even if there is wind, where does the sand and dust come from?
Pei Cuiyun's eyes swept and landed on the brocade silk on the desk, with a hint of enlightenment in his eyes.
She stepped forward, blew out the candle, and pressed the brocade silk with a book.
"Raising the truth, it looks like spring is about to begin......
As the weather gets warmer, His Majesty's coffin needs to be properly placed. When you didn't come back, I privately discussed with Duoduo and them, and wanted to bury the coffin in Piling. The feng shui of Piling is good, and it is very close to here, and you can also overlook the eastern capital, which is also suitable.
What do you think? ”
Li Yanqing shrugged his nose, "Then let's arrange it like this, choose a good place, and see a good name...... Let's see off Your Majesty. ”
"In this case, I will go down and make arrangements."
Duoduo walked to Yanqing's side and took his hand, "Little demon, Guanyin is here!" ”
"Huh?"
Yan Qing didn't react at once, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"It's been almost two months since Guanyin!" Duoduo said softly: "Some time ago, she had been uncomfortable. Later, Mr. Wu was asked to come to the diagnosis and said that she was pregnant. ”
Head, buzzing.
Li Yanqing was stunned.
He turned his head to glance at the eldest grandson Wuji, but saw that Xiao Wujian was still ignorant.
Maybe she didn't understand the news yet, so that after Duoduo finished speaking, she was also confused.
"Little demon, you are now the backbone of the family and our family. If you can't control yourself, we're worried.
Especially Guanyin, she waited for you for a long time last night...... Take care of yourself, don't let our children repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
Li Yanqing nodded slightly.
"Well, you've been gone for so long, there must be a lot of things to deal with.
I'll have breakfast delivered in a while, and I guess you'll be busy again when it's dawn...... When I have time, I look at your two apprentices. ”
Yan Qing forced a smile and agreed.
Duoduo and Pei Cuiyun left first, and after a while, Xiao Nian accompanied Wujian and left.
Li Yanqing sat at the desk and looked at the brocade blankly...... I can't let my children repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, I will do my best to protect them for the rest of their lives.
Your Majesty, go well!
I will definitely avenge you......
The brocade silk fell into the brazier and burst into flames.
Looking at the brocade silk in the brazier, gradually turning to ashes. Li Yanqing stood up, walked to the window again, and sighed hard.
