Chapter 91: Butterflies

readx;

Li Jing, the word pharmacist, is a native of Sanyuan, Yongzhou. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Born in the family of the eunuch, he is the nephew of the famous Kai Sui general Han Baohu. His grandfather, Li Chongyi, served as the assassin of Yinzhou and was named the Duke of Yongkang; His father's name was Li Quan, and he was an official in the early years of the Great Cause, and he was also a highly regarded official family at that time. Li Jing was born in such a family of eunuchs, young and intelligent. Every time he talked about military affairs with his uncle Han Baohu, Han Baohu would be extremely admired.

"Those who can talk about Sun Wu's art are only the only ones."

During the Sui Dynasty, Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, praised Li Jing for his talent; The left servant shot Yang Su, and even stroked the bed and said, "Qing should be in this position after all." ”

Han Baohu is a general, that's all.

Wang Zuozhicai in Niu Hong's mouth, Yang Su was a politician and military strategist during the Kaihuang period, so praised, which shows Li Jing's talent.

—————————————————— "Li Jing, how come you are in the Qin Palace?" ”

At this banquet, Li Yanqing ate tastelessly.

After returning to the palace, he immediately ordered Chai Xiaohe, who had just arrived in Luoyang, to investigate the information about Li Jing in detail and submit it as soon as possible.

Li Jing brought him tremendous pressure and made him a little restless. In memory, Li Jing seems to have made a name for himself in the Battle of the Annihilation of Liang. After years of fighting, he has not tasted defeat, and is known as the first military god of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Shiji is very good, but this fashion is not enough to compare with Li Jing. Su Dingfang is powerful, and there is also a huge gap with Li Jing...... This person is extraordinary.

Li Jing is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, ranking eighth.

But to Yan Qing's impression, Li Jing has been hovering on the edge of Tiance Mansion, and he is not the core figure of Tiance Mansion, and he is not even as good as Wei Chi Gong. At the time of the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jing did not seem to be involved in it. Therefore, Li Yanqing has always believed that Li Jing should belong to neutrality and not belong to any faction. But now it seems that his thinking has been wrong.

This man is talented, strategic, experienced, and experienced!

It is an extremely terrifying existence.

He is not only good at military affairs, but also good at planning. Otherwise, Yang Su would not praise him like that, and Niu Hong would not say that he was a talented king.

The so-called talent of Wang Zuo can also be understood as an all-rounder, the talent of the prime minister.

In fact, a true military strategist must be an excellent politician. Later generations said very thoroughly in the theory of war: war is always a continuation of politics...... At the beginning, Li Yanqing also thought about befriending Li Jing.

It's just that Li Jing Shenlong sees the head but doesn't see the end! During the Daye years, he was implicated by Yang Su and was assigned to Ma Yi to serve as the county minister. Li Yanqing naturally could not have intersected with Li Jing. With the layout of Yanqing in Xingyang later, the attention to Li Jing became lighter.

But he didn't expect that Li Jing had already taken refuge in Li Shimin.

"Li Jing has served as Chang'an Gongcao, the straight chief in the palace, and the driving department member Wailang...... Yangzhen, there is nothing unusual about this person's resume, and the official position is also very humble. Until the tenth year of the Great Cause, he was assigned to Mayi and served as the governor of Mayi County...... I don't think there's any merit.

Oh, there is a record here, in the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, he noticed a change in Taiyuan, so he locked himself and asked to be escorted to Jiangdu...... This is to prepare to denounce His Majesty. Due to road blockage, he was trapped in Chang'an. After His Majesty broke through Chang'an, he wanted to kill this person. In the end, he gave up because of the advice of King Qin. After His Majesty released him, he was not hired. So Li Shimin included him in the palace of the king of Qin and served as the third guard. ”

In other words, Li Jing had already taken refuge in Li Yuan in the first year of Wude.

The three guards are a military position in the palace, similar to the six rates of the East Palace, but the scale of the six rates of the East Palace is much smaller. Belong to the leader of the pro-soldiers.

Li Shimin's personal soldiers were the famous Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers in later generations.

Li Jing is the leader of the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers, which shows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to him. This position is not noticeable, and it often lives next to Li Shimin. God knows what kind of existence Li Jing is for Li Shimin? Maybe his status is still above Wang Tong.

No wonder, Li Yanqing had never heard of Li Jing's name before this.

Indeed, a mere three bathrooms will not attract attention at all. In addition, although Li Jing had a reputation before, he did not have any record that could be used. In terms of prestige, perhaps people will pay more attention to Wang Tong, Liu Wenjing, Tang Jian, Liu Hongji, and Qiu Xinggong...... Even Qin Qiongcheng's reputation for biting gold is greater than Li Jing's fame. Coupled with the fact that he is low-key, it is naturally difficult to investigate.

Li Yanqing didn't know how to explain to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Could it be that I am from the afterlife, so I know this guy, very powerful?

He closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, then turned his head to the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Wuji, don't underestimate this person." Is Jin Lin a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm...... Some people are not without talent, but they lack the stage to display their talents. Since you specialize in scripture and history, you should know that the king of Chu has not been singing for three years, and he is a blockbuster allusion. Li Jing is a talented person, but the time did not come earlier.

Now, the meeting of the wind and clouds is also the time when he roars the nine skies...... Don't ask me how I know, I'm telling you, I've never looked away. ”

For this sentence, the eldest grandson Wuji is convinced.

Li Yanqing met Du Ruhui at the age of six, and befriended Fang Xuanling at the age of eight.

Xu Shiji, Xue Shu...... Wait, it seems that all the people that Li Yanqing values have a very extraordinary future.

The eldest grandson Wuji sometimes speculates whether Li Yanqing has any special channels? But think about it again, six-year-old Li Yanqing is just someone else's house slave, what kind of channels can he have? At that time, Li Yanqing's environment, the eldest grandson Wuji was not unclear.

Perhaps, he was really prescient?

Since Li Yanqing commented on Li Jing like this, then this Li Jing is definitely not an idler!

Subconsciously, the eldest grandson Wuji's opinion of Li Jing suddenly improved by several levels.

Li Yanqing sat down on the porch, and more than ten mastiffs were scattered around the bamboo garden. After the initial anxiety, Yanqing gradually calmed down.

Perhaps, Li Jing has always been a trump card hidden in Li Shimin's hands.

Yan Qing is not afraid that the other party has hole cards, what he is afraid of is that he doesn't know what hole cards the other party has.

"By the way, have you ever found out, why didn't Li Jing appear in the Battle of Luoyang?"

It stands to reason that Li Jing is the third guard of the Qin Palace, and at the same time the leader of the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers. When Li Shimin was presiding over the Battle of Luoyang, it was impossible for Li Jing to have no news. If he appeared on the battlefield in Luoyang, then Li Yanqing would definitely be able to know in advance.

He did not appear on the battlefield in Luoyang, indicating that this person did not come with the army.

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately found the corresponding answer from the thick stack of official letters beside him.

These official letters are all information collected by Chai Xiaohe...... "After you announced the change of banner last year, in order to attract Li Tang's attention and assist Wang Shichong in seizing Xingyang, Xiao Mo sent sailors to trace the river and try to capture the lands of Xiazhou (now Yichang, Hubei), Ba, and Shu. Xu Shao, the assassin of Xiazhou, defeated him and asked Chang'an for help.

At that time, the king of Qin was mobilizing people, and the king of Zhao, Chen Bing, Wuwei, Xue Shixiong, Qu Tutong and others either went out of the town of Hedong or gathered in Shuozhou. Therefore, before the expedition, the king of Qin recommended Li Jing to His Majesty to take up his post in Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Sichuan). Li Jing took up his post in June last year, but the journey was not smooth. When passing through Jinzhou (now Ankang, Shaanxi), he was obstructed by Deng Shiluo's barbarian army. At that time, it was Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, who presided over the Pingban War, and Li Jing stayed behind to assist. ”

"Slowly, that is to say, when Li Jing went to office, he was related to the king of Lujiang?"

"That's what it says!"

Yan Qing sneered, "Li Jing is a good means, but with a gesture, he has attracted a domestic aid for King Qin!" ”

Li Ying is a clan member with a high status.

After Li Xiaoji's death, Li Shentong succeeded to the position of Zongzheng Siqing. And Li Jin, on the other hand, is Shaoqing and has great power in the clan.

Li Jing helped Li Ming, which is equivalent to making Li Ying owe Li Shimin a favor. Once this favor is owed, Li Ying is equivalent to standing with Li Shimin. Li Shimin didn't use half of his strength, but he got a lot of internal support from the clan, which was definitely a good deal.

With just this hand, Li Yanqing could see Li Jing's methods...... "Li Jing's arrival in Xiazhou is exactly the reason why you captured Yecheng."

Because of this, the Battle of Xiazhou did not receive much attention. At that time, Xiao Mo controlled the fortress, Li Jing was blocked one after another, and His Majesty even thought that he was deliberately stranded and delayed the fighter, and ordered Xu Shao to execute him. However, Xu Shao cherished his talents and did not do anything, but asked Chang'an for his life...... This Xu Shao is quite bold, but he is not respectful of the will...... Hehe, that's funny. ”

Isn't it fun?

This shows that the history of Xiazhou Thorn is also Li Shimin's person!

Li Yanqing picked up the pen and wrote Xu Shao's name on a piece of paper.

"In September, the Kaizhou slang barbarians rebelled and invaded Kuizhou. Li Xiaogong lost the battle, but Li Jing led 800 strong men to the barbarian camp and won a complete victory. Then he set up an ambush and beheaded Ran Zhaoze in a battle, capturing 5,000 people, much to His Majesty's great joy. In November, His Majesty ordered him to go straight to Luoyang to assist the King of Qin. And because of his military merits, he was appointed as the opening of the government...... This person is really not simple. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji put down the official letter and stared at Yanqing.

Yu Qing was unconscious, staring at the list in his hand, silent in thought.

After a while, he said softly: "Li Jing went to Kuizhou, and King Qin got half of Bashu's arm to help...... Hehe, of course it's not easy. ”

With that, Yan Qing raised his head and put down the list.

"But it doesn't matter, he got Badi, and I still have Shuzhou...... I will come over in two days, and I am going to let him go to Chengdu. ”

Dou Fengjie is different from Xue Wanche, he is not fighting two fierce generals.

When he was in Changhe Town, he was more responsible for baggage logistics. After coming to Gongxian, Dou Fengjie acted more as a liaison center with Chang'an. Since the warrior Tong was transferred back to Chang'an, the Tang merchants were eaten by Chai Xiaohe and became a pawn of the Qilin Terrace.

However, Wu Shi Tong didn't know this, and Dou Fengjie was even less likely to know.

Now that he has not received the edict of Chang'an, it is naturally impossible for him to leave easily. But if Yanqing sent him, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Dou Fengjie's trip to Chengdu to visit relatives is fake, and it is true that Yan Qing took the opportunity to swallow the Wanzhou bureaucracy.

It's just that there are some things that he has to do in secret.

Now that he knows about Li Jing's existence and through some events, he has learned about Li Jing's methods, which can be regarded as a harvest for Li Yanqing.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't live in Luoyang for a long time.

After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, Li Yuan could not keep him in Luoyang for a long time, and perhaps he would receive an edict soon.

At that time, it was the time for him and Li Jing to go head-to-head.

"Mowgli, I'll go to Chang'an sooner or later...... However, this palace structure still needs to be built as soon as possible.

Are you interested in doing my job? ”

The Zhan matter of the county king's mansion is from the rank of the five grades. Compared with the rank of the crown prince Zhan Shi, it is four ranks lower. But in terms of power, it is greater than the crown prince Zhan. Prince Zhan Shi, who is the third product, is under the guests. The county king's mansion does not have three divisions and three youths, and there is no guest position. But it is precisely for this reason that the county king's mansion has the power of guests, and is also responsible for the three orders and three guards.

The so-called three orders include the palace inner square (eunuch), the family order, and the rate change order.

And the three guards actually refer to Li Yanqing's Wansheng army transformed from Qilin Wei. The king of the county can keep private guards, but there is a limit on the number of people, about 800, which is exactly the number of the Wansheng army. In fact, this number of bullets is very large, and generally no one cares.

For example, Li Shentong is the king of the river.

His own soldiers numbered as many as 3,000.

It's just that Li Yanqing's identity is a little embarrassing now, so he needs to be more cautious.

Eight million victorious troops are enough to run rampant in the world, and Li Yanqing can also use other means to raise private soldiers, but it will not be presented in the open.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed.

"You are really good at laughing, I don't do your Zhan business, can't I let Pei Laohu do it?"

Pei Xingyan is now stationed in Huaizhou, and with the strength of his clan, there is no need to worry about his future. And the eldest grandson Wuji, his current position in the clan is also very embarrassing. Perak Hall is at the helm of the eldest grandson, Xingye, who has worked hard to maintain the eldest grandson over the years, although Xingye has not revived the eldest grandson. In the absence of any special circumstances, it is impossible for Mowgli to compete with Xingye for the Perak Hall. But it's also convenient to help from the side.

Yan Qing couldn't help laughing, and his chin was silent.

He thought about it, picked up a piece of paper, and after writing down the name of the eldest grandson Wuji, he wrote a string of names such as Shen Guang, Xiong Kuohai, Kan Ling, Zheng Dabiao, Liu Heng, and Liang Laoshi under the name of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Then, he took the piece of paper and shook it to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Mowgli, after this piece of paper is sent, you and I will be grasshoppers on the same line!"

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Could it be that now, we are not on the same line?" ”

Yes, maybe from the day Li Yanqing walked into Perak Hall and worshiped the eldest grandson Wuji as his teacher, the fate of the eldest grandson Wuji has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is closely linked to Yanqing. In fact, is it not just Mowgli? Shen Guang, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Xie Yingdeng...... There are also Xue Shui, Xu Shiji, and Pei Xingyan, haven't they all changed unconsciously?

It was only at this time that Li Yanqing could proudly say that he was the big butterfly that vibrated its wings in the Pacific Ocean...... Now that you've become the butterfly, why not let it vibrate even more?

The night was deep, Li Yanqing leaned on the porch pillar, looked up at the bright starry sky, and muttered to himself!

At the beginning of February of the third year of —————————————————————— Wude, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led his troops back to Guanzhong.

In the same month, Qu Tutong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, arrived in Luoyang and served as the Daxingtai of Dugi Province, the Taishou of Henan Prefecture, and the governor of the five prefectures.

The four prefectures of Zhengzhou (i.e., Xingyang), Huaizhou (Hanoi), Ruzhou (Yingchuan), and Shaanzhou (Hongnong) were included in Henan Province (Luoyang), and were included in the administration of Dugi Province.

As a result, Li Tang began to accelerate the change of the pattern of the Central Plains.

In mid-February, the plaintiff broke.

Yu Wenhua and was beheaded by the rebels in the palace of Pingyuan County; At the end of February, Dou Jiande's wife, Cao, surrendered to Bohai County, also announcing that the war in the Central Plains had completely subsided.

The sun is shining brightly in Luoyang.

Li Yanqing set up an incense table in the house to welcome the holy decree.

"Li Yanqing, the king of Henan, is talented, intelligent, calm and capable, and is a model for the clan...... Awarded the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, within 15 days, go to Chang'an ......"

The one who came to deliver the decree was still Dou Wei.

Previously, he was ordered to go to Gongxian County to deliver the decree, but after Li Yanqing learned of Li Xiaoji's death, he led Wanshengjun to secretly rush to Luoyang, which caused a series of accidents.

Now, Li Shimin has returned to Chang'an for two months.

And Luoyang, with the arrival of Qu Tutong, gradually stabilized the situation.

Merchants have resumed normal business one after another, and merchant ships continue to flow in Tongyuan City. Luoyang's cautious people are also unwilling to get into too much trouble with the imperial court.

After all, the imperial court recalled Li Shimin and had already given them enough face.

If you continue to make trouble, it will only cause more trouble. Take it when you see it! These gentlemen can stand on the basis for decades, or even centuries, and have survived the change of dynasties without falling, and who is a person who has no eyes. So, I responded to Li Yanqing's words: Singing and dancing...... As before. Especially when I learned that the imperial court exempted Luoyang from paying taxes for three years, it made Luoyang extremely prosperous.

The general trend has been settled!

Li Yanqing couldn't, and didn't dare to stir up trouble again.

Previously, he could also be said to have stood up for his eldest grandson Wuji. Then if you provoke right and wrong now, it will be easy to fall into the hands of others.

Dou Wei put the holy decree in Li Yanqing's hand and let out a sigh of relief.

"Yangzhen, this time you must not tease the old man again...... The last time you made a fuss, it scared the old man a lot. ”

Between the words, there is blame, but more of it is out of the concern of the elders.

Li Yanqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I have caused trouble to the old county prince, right or wrong, and please don't blame the old county prince." ”

"Okay, okay, the old man is just scratching twice, as long as you go to Chang'an with me obediently."

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, and invited Dou Wei to sit down.

It's just that he is still a little curious in his heart, "Old Jungong, how can you be so good and seal me a Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple?" At my age, is it a little inappropriate to serve as Zongzheng Shaoqing? ”

Zongzheng Temple, set up one Zongzheng and two Shaoqing.

As far as Li Yanqing knows, Li Shentong is Zongzheng, Li Ying is Shaoqing, and the other Shaoqing was originally Li Baiju.

Zongzheng Shaoqing, the rank is four products.

It's just that most of the people who hold this position are old men with a high reputation in the clan. Li Yanqing is only 22 years old this year, which is too young.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Dou Wei said softly: "Yangzhen, the old man and you are also friends in the world."

There are some things that the old man would like to remind you of. Originally, the prince hoped that you would be in charge of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and it had been reported to Shangshu Province. This matter was originally going well, including Erlang who also thought that you were the best candidate for the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. But for some reason, His Majesty suddenly changed his mind and changed King Zhao to take over the Beiya...... Although the affairs of Zongzheng Temple are complicated, they are not particularly busy, and you can study hard. ”

"King Zhao...... Xuanba has returned to Chang'an? ”

"At the beginning of the month, I arrived in Chang'an."

"So, Liang Shidu's side has been pacified?"

"It's settled...... King Zhao went deep into Saibei Qianli, killed Liang Shidu, and returned to Chang'an. In terms of meritorious service, he is in charge of the Northern Ya, which is also suitable. ”

Li Yanqing seems to be calm, but in his heart, there are turbulent waves.

He can be sure that the reason why Li Shimin withdrew from Luoyang was because of Li Jing's handiwork; And this time, Li Shimin agreed that Li Yanqing would take over the Beiya, and it must be Li Jing's relationship. It stands to reason that the person who disagrees with him taking over Beiya the most should be Li Shimin.

But he agreed...... Even if Li Yuan trusts Yan Qing again, he must consider the connection.

Li Yanqing was recommended by the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin actually agreed. Does this mean that the crown prince and the king of Qin have been connected through Yanqing? Li Yuan, who had just tasted the wonderful taste of power when he first ascended to the throne, categorically would not tolerate such an existence. Even if Li Jiancheng is his designated heir, he will not be willing to give up power. Therefore, Yanqing's real power and nine stable Northern Ya forbidden troops were in vain.

But is it really that simple?

Li Yanqing failed to get the Beiya Forbidden Army, and was only awarded a Shaoqing with no real power, how could he not be annoyed?

Li Jing used this method to alienate me from Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng on the one hand, and on the other hand, he put me in Zongzheng Temple, intending to provoke the dissatisfaction of the clan.

After all, at Li Yanqing's age, how could he be recognized by the clan?

Good means, good means!

Li Yanqing couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

However, on the surface, he still seemed very calm, and said with a smile: "Old county lord, you just have to rest assured, Yangzhen is not a person who doesn't know the severity." However, Cuiyun's delivery date is imminent, and fifteen days may be a little nervous. Can you ask the old county prince to return to Your Majesty and tolerate me for a while? After Cuiyun gave birth, I immediately set off for Chang'an...... But Cuiyun and the others need to eat some to go. ”

This reason is reasonable, and Dou Wei will naturally not object.

"Cuiyun is going to give birth?

That's a big deal...... In this way, the old man immediately sent someone to Chang'an to return to him, presumably His Majesty will not be unsympathetic.

You already had a son and a daughter before, and now that Cuiyun is about to give birth, it can be regarded as a Jiulang lineage, and it has branched out. Presumably, Jiurou will also be relieved when he is in the spirit of the sky. ”

After Yan Qing and Dou Wei chatted a few more words, Dou Wei said goodbye and left.

The Dou family has an industry in Luoyang, and he goes home to rest. Moreover, Luoyang is not as good as Gong County, and it is unlikely that Li Yanqing wants to repeat what he did in Gong County.

After Yan Qing sent Dou Wei away, he immediately returned to the palace bamboo garden.

"Shen Guang!"

"The minister is here."

"Immediately notify Chai Song and order him to remove all traces of Qilintai in Gong County within ten days."

"Whoa!"

Li Yanqing took off his shoes under the porch, walked barefoot, and walked into the bamboo building.

From the bookshelf, he took out a booklet, lit it with a fire, and threw it into a copper basin.

The booklet recorded some events he wrote down from memory when he was a child. However, as many things have changed, the role of this booklet has come to an end. Staying any longer will only lead to trouble. From now on, the experience that his previous life could provide him with has become very limited.

Looking at the pamphlet that had turned into ashes in the brazier, Yan Qing's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

(To be continued)
