When Li Yuanji woke up, he was very unhappy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and Li Yuanji thinks that he is the most unlucky at the moment.

Of course, when he is unlucky, it is when his people are unlucky. He changed his mind to torture his subordinates, but the person he wanted to torture the most at the moment had not yet returned.

It has been seven days since Zhang Da left, but Zhang Da seems to have disappeared, and there is no news. Li Yuanji didn't believe that Zhang Da could abandon his wife and children, but in fact, Zhang Da really did this. Li Yuanji was irritable, Zhang Da's wife died, and he was helpless, so he killed Zhang Da's whole family again. After the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan City learned about this, they all remained silent.

But the anger and resistance hidden under the silence, even Yu Wenxin was a little uneasy. What Li Yuanji is doing now has made the people of Taiyuan City unbearable!

Li Yuanji didn't care, he only had two goals now, one was to find a way to find Zhang Da, and then cut off Zhang Da's flesh piece by piece, and then distribute it to his soldiers to eat. His desire is so strong that even every time he thinks about it, he gets excited. He hated Zhang Da very much, just because, he couldn't tolerate his orders not being obeyed. His second target is, of course, Li Shimin, and he also wants to cut off Li Shimin's flesh piece by piece, because he really can't tolerate Li Shimin riding on his head all the time!

But both of these goals seem to be difficult to achieve.

Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Li Yuanji suddenly showed a rare smile, as if he had thought of some good way.

There was a sudden noise outside the mansion, Li Yuanji frowned and looked over, and the two hurriedly walked in, of course, it was Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin.

There was naturally an exclamation on the bed, and for a time five or six women hid under the quilt. Dou Dan couldn't care about the spring color, and said anxiously: "Boss, it's not good." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Yuanji asked impatiently.

"Yuci was defeated." Dou Dan looked nervous.

Li Yuanji was stunned, "Yuci in the north of the Yellow Snake Ridge? Then I'...... Isn't it that you can't go hunting? I'm in a panic today, brother-in-law, you hurry up and take Yuci back, I'm going to hunt in Yellow Snake Ridge. ”

What Li Yuanji said was justified, but he just thought in his heart, Yuci was shut down about my?

If Li Yuanji was not Li Yuan's son, Yu Wenxin would just want to strangle him! Now at this time, this gentleman is still just thinking about hunting?

"Sir, I'm afraid you won't be able to hunt for a while." Yu Wenxin tried his best to calm his words.

Li Yuanji snorted coldly, and without waiting to say anything, Dou Dan explained: "Boss, this time it's really a big deal. It turned out that Liu Wuzhou poured all his troops south, and captured Yuci in one day. Yuci and Taiyuan watch each other, Yuci is trapped, Taiyuan is in crisis! Liu Wuzhou did not stop, and heavy troops besieged Pingyao, Pingyao Ruoke, will block the northeast of the river to aid my troops, when we fight alone, the situation is not good. ”

The corners of Li Yuanji's mouth twitched, and he finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and said angrily: "Did Yuci Shou grow up eating?" How could such a big city be conquered in one fell swoop? ”

Dou Dan smiled bitterly: "This ...... It wouldn't have been conquered so quickly. But Zhang Da had a close relationship with Yuci's guard Wang Deli, and after Zhang Da went to Huangsnake Ridge, he surrendered to Liu Wuzhou, and then went to Yuci late at night. Wang Deli was naturally defenseless, and heard that Zhang Da advanced the city as an internal response, so he opened the city gate with the outside and the inside. After they captured Yuci, they went to Pingyao non-stop, preparing to repeat the old tricks, fortunately, Pingyao guard Jiang Baoyi had already prepared and found an abnormality, which kept Liu Wuzhou's army out of the city, but in this day, there were already three urgent military documents asking for help. ”

Li Yuanji was a little stunned, "Then Taiyuan can't hold it?" ”

Yu Wenxin frowned and said: "Chief, it's too early to say that it can't be defended, Taiyuan City is where the foundation of the Tang King is located, and there are already reserves, and now there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the grain and grass are sufficient for ten years." As long as we defend with all our hearts, if Liu Wuzhou wants to conquer it, it will be difficult to reach the sky. ”

Li Yuanji felt a little relieved in his heart, and scolded in an instant: "I am the eighteenth generation ancestor of Zhang Dan's beast, he doesn't want to fall into my hands, if he is caught by me, I will let him live as well as die!" ”

A bunch of foul words spewed out, and Li Yuanji vented the anger in his heart. Yu Wenxin said: "Chief, Zhang Da betrayed King Tang and will die sooner or later, but the top priority at the moment is to do two things." ”

"Say it, say it." Li Yuanji urged. If you want to use your scheming, he is gradually maturing, but when you want to defend the city, he is bullshit.

"At the moment, the first thing is to send elite soldiers to aid Pingyao, otherwise Jiang Baoyi will be alone and will soon be unable to support it." Yu Wenxin suggested.

"Go to help Jiang Baoyi, who will help us?" Li Yuanji was dissatisfied: "I don't agree. ”

Yuwen Xin was stunned, and Dou Dan continued: "Chief, although Liu Wuzhou is very strong, our Tang Army is not in vain. Pingyao and we are cold-hearted, if we don't help, sit back and watch them be attacked, won't we let the sergeants down? Besides, Pingyao Ruoke, King Tang is only afraid that he will be dissatisfied with us. ”

"What does it matter to me that the sergeant's disappointment is me?" Li Yuanji said, in an instant, he felt that something was wrong, Li Shimin is now winning many battles, if he can't even keep Pingyao, then he will really be riding on his neck again, "It's okay to save, but to win, and I won't go,"

"Of course," Dou Dan breathed a sigh of relief, "The son of the daughter in charge is naturally not suitable for risking his life." As long as the governor agrees, we will naturally send soldiers to rescue, Liu Wuzhou is just a captain of Mayi, what is the difficulty of defeating his soldiers? ”

"And what about the second thing?" Li Yuanji asked.

"The second thing is to report the current situation to Guanzhong immediately as a precaution, and ask the Tang King to transfer troops from Hedong to aid Taiyuan." Yu Wenxin said: "The foundation of Taiyuan cannot be lost. ”

Li Yuanji hesitated a little, and only said after a while: "You can just call the shots for everything." ”

Yu Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "The last general will do it!" ”

**

Taiyuan was attacked, and Guanzhong was shaken.

After Li Yuan received the news that Liu Wuzhou was going south to attack Taiyuan, he immediately convened the ministers to discuss the matter. The eldest grandson Shunde was not there, and Li Xiaogong was also not involved, which made Li Yuan somewhat regretful.

But unfortunately it is only temporary, Li Yuan still adopts a tolerant attitude towards these two people. Of course, he knows a lot of the past events, and he also knows why the eldest grandson Shunde is always lazy and can't lift his spirits.

The eldest grandson Shunde is actually dead in his heart, he is a genius of the eldest grandson family since the eldest grandson Sheng, but this genius has given up on himself because of a woman. He can still stay by Li Yuan's side, and Li Yuan is already very happy. Although the eldest grandson Shunde is lazy, if it weren't for his advice and secret instigation, he, Li Yuan, might not be able to sit firmly in Guanzhong. It turned out afterwards that every opinion of the eldest grandson Shunde had extremely important reference value for Li Yuan. With such a character, Li Yuan can endure his slackness. As for Li Xiaogong not coming, Li Yuan is even more understanding, and he is now very sympathetic to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong was blind, and he was blind after being poisoned. Although there is an antidote to Sikong, Da Miao Wang is obviously superior. Li Xiaogong is not only blind, but also has to endure the pain of Gu poison backlash recently.

Falling for the Gu poison of the Great Miao King is obviously not as simple as blinding you, and even makes you feel that life is worse than death. Li Yuan went to visit twice, but he didn't go to see the third time, it was really Li Xiaogong who made him feel miserable.

Li Xiaogong has lost weight sharply during this time, and has even become like a ghost, Li Yuan even feels that the ghost is better than him.

When Li Yuan saw Li Xiaogong's appearance, he naturally hated King Da Miao and Xiao Buyi to the bone, and he couldn't wait to go south to level Bashu immediately and relieve his anger. But he knew that the time had not yet come, he was not afraid of the Miao people, nor was he afraid of Gu poison, after all, in the face of the pressure of the army, Gu poison might not be able to block the iron cavalry in Guanzhong.

But Li Yuan was afraid of Xiao Buyi.

He knew that Xiao Buyi was actually looking forward to him sending troops, and if Li Yuan sent troops, not only would he not get the support of the people of Bashu, but he would also give Xiao Buyi an excuse to counterattack from Bashu.

Guanzhong and Dongdu are only 800 miles apart, but because of the terrain, they are fighting separately and rarely intersect. Li Yuan knew that now was not the time for the two sides to fight, they both understood that the last was the chance to decide the winner, otherwise no one would necessarily have a chance!

Li Shimin was not by Li Yuan's side, Shallow Water Yuan defeated Xue Ju and Gao Ji killed Xue Renguo, and the Xue family army was defeated, but the war was far from over. Li Shimin led the iron cavalry to pursue the victory, and wanted to take advantage of the right place of Longyou. followed Li Shimin, as well as Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji. Although Liu Hongji and others were captured in the shallow water plain, Xue Ju did not kill them for the time being.

With the help of Liu Hongji and Yin Kaishan, coupled with Li Yuan's constant sending envoys to persuade him, Longyou County has surrendered 7788. Li Shimin is now far away in Longyou, so who should be sent to relieve the siege of Taiyuan this time?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan had a headache and looked around at the ministers.

The ministers waited for the order, and Li Jiancheng was eager to try. In the past, he gave the opportunity to his younger brother Li Shimin, and he loved this younger brother very much, but this time Shimin went to Longyou, and he felt that this opportunity should fall on him.

Maybe others think this is a chore, but Li Jiancheng knows that this is the capital for him to ascend the throne in the future. Everyone knows that Li Yuan will ascend the throne sooner or later, and after Li Yuan ascends the throne, Li Jiancheng will be the crown prince. From the Taiyuan uprising, Li Jiancheng completed a series of Li Yuan's orders very well, although since taking Yongfengcang and Xiatong Pass, Li Jiancheng no longer has outstanding military exploits, but this cannot be said that he has no merits. Fighting at the front is important, but managing one side well is the most important thing. Under his father's arrangement, Li Jiancheng learned the means of governing the country step by step.

Li Jiancheng understands his father's good intentions, but he still wants to prove to others that he, Li Jiancheng, is not bad in command.

In the main hall, everyone remained silent, and Li Yuan's gaze finally swept over Li Jiancheng and fell on Pei Lian's body, "Pei Changshi, Liu Wuzhou is going south, what do you think?" ”

Pei Lin straightened his waist and said: "Back to Tang Gong, a mere Ma Yi school captain, with no roots and no foundation, how big of a climate can it be?" In Weichen's view, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Taiyuan, sufficient grain and grass, and Yuanji, Yuwenxin, and Dou Dan are guarded, and Liu Wuzhou is extremely difficult to overcome. Although he went down to Yuci and turned to attack Pingyao, he could not resist Taiyuan and cut off his way back, how dare he go south presumptuously? According to what Weichen saw, the safe way is to let the Taiyuan defenders hold out, and then mobilize the people and horses of Hedong to help relieve the siege of Pingyao, and then we can wait for the deep ditch and high base, and avoid fighting for the time being, Liu Wuzhou will return in vain. ”

Li Yuan nodded slowly, although Pei Lin was just a palace eunuch before, he could analyze it in an orderly manner, which coincided with him.

Let's not say that Li Shimin can't lead his troops back immediately, just say that even if he wants to fight, according to Li Yuan's policy, he is also the confidant Liang Shidu who is in the attack first, and Liu Wuzhou is just a clown who jumps off the beam in his eyes.

If you want to be a school captain, how much ability can you have?

"If you follow Pei Changshi's suggestion, how should you help?" Li Yuan said softly.

Pei Lin said solemnly: "If the Tang King doesn't think that Weichen is old, Weichen should invite 30,000 elite soldiers to attack Liu Wuzhou." ”

Li Yuan meant exactly this, and said with a smile: "Pei Changshi is worried about the country, and this king is very pleased. In this way, Taichangqing Li Zhongwen is calm and sophisticated, and he can take on great responsibilities. This king sent Li Zhongwen as the vanguard, Pei Changshi as the commander, to relieve the siege of Taiyuan, I don't know what to do? ”

The ministers had no objections, they all said that Tang Wang was wise, but Li Jiancheng heard a cold snort not far from him, and he was very dissatisfied. squinted over, only to find that it was Sima Liu Wenjing.

Li Jiancheng's heart was awe-inspiring, and Li Yuan said again: "Pei Changshi has been in charge of the drafting of laws and regulations at the moment, since he wants to send troops to relieve the siege of Taiyuan, the matter at hand is ...... It's better to transfer it to Liu Sima for processing, I don't know what Liu Sima wants? ”

Liu Wenjing reluctantly saluted: "Weichen takes the order." ”

When everyone retreated, Li Jiancheng immediately went to see his father, Li Yuan was not surprised to see him coming, waved his hand and said, "Jiancheng, sit down." ”

On Li Yuan's desk, the case was like a mountain, he looked at the chapter very carefully, kept reviewing it, and although he saw his son coming, he still didn't stop his pen.

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng said with concern: "Dad, you have been working hard recently, and you have to rest in time, and Guanzhong still relies on you to preside over the overall situation." The child is incompetent and cannot help his father solve problems. ”

Li Yuan's pen condensed slightly, and he raised his head for a while, "Are you dissatisfied with the arrangement for your father?" ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "The child doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare...... And not without discontent? Li Yuan had already heard the meaning of the words, put down the pen, walked over and helped Li Jiancheng up, and said, "Completed...... I know that you actually want to lead the troops to the battle, but relieve the siege of Taiyuan. ”

Li Jiancheng pursed his lips, but his gaze was resolute, obviously acquiescing.

Li Yuan sighed lightly: "Actually, you have quite a lot of experience in leading troops, and you have shown good leadership qualities in the battles of taking Xihe, Xiajiang County, Keyongfeng, and attacking Tongguan, which is enough." Built, you must know that my father's goal is to hope that you can inherit my position, and I hope that you can govern the country well, rather than hoping that you will become a brave man. The things of war can be done by others, but the lord of the country must be taken over by you. If your father ascends the throne, you are the crown prince, inheriting your father's inheritance, for thousands of generations, how can your father make you easily take risks? ”

Li Jiancheng was full of gratitude, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, "But ...... I'm just afraid...... Alas......"

Li Jiancheng wanted to speak and stopped, but Li Yuan seemed to see through his mind, and said with a smile: "Jiancheng, don't worry, my father will handle everything." Besides, if you want to say that the country is unified, it is still far from it. However, although there is smoke all over the place at the moment, it cannot be denied that the foundation of the Great Sui is still there, and we are all acting on the foundation of the Great Sui, Xiao Buyi is very smart, plus ...... He has a good opportunity, so the one who is really in trouble for his father's henchmen must be Xiao Buyi. The people are at peace, although Dou Jiande is also benevolent and righteous, but after all, he still has the reputation of a bandit, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't reverse the situation, and now he is just a pawn for his father and Xiao Buyi to balance the forces. In my opinion, this unification of the country is not so far away, so you can do things with peace of mind, don't be disappointed for your father. It's just that his father didn't think that Xiao Buyi was an opponent, but he had an extremely extensive background, which was really unexpected. ”

Li Jiancheng calmed down, "Dad, Pei Lin has no military talent, can he defeat Liu Wuzhou?" I always felt ......"

"Pei Lian's ability to lead the army is indeed not strong, so I sent Li Zhongwen to assist. As long as Taiyuan is not lost, Pei Lin can act safely, and he may not be able to repel Liu Wuzhou, but it is not difficult to force him back. Li Yuan smiled.

Li Jiancheng silently chewed on his father's words, knowing that although the difference between repelling and forcing back was only one word, the meaning was really profound.

"Besides, the surname Pei was originally a big clan in Hedong, although Pei Lian's status in Pei is not high, but with his current status, it is not difficult to gain support. At the beginning, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was able to gain a firm foothold in Hedong, relying on the support of the Pei family. Today, his father asked him to go, hoping that he could mobilize the strength of Hedong to resist Liu Wuzhou. Li Yuan said: "Built, you don't have to worry, you have your own sense of proportion for your father." ”

Li Jiancheng said suddenly: "Daddy...... Liu Wenjing seems to be very dissatisfied today. ”

"What if he's dissatisfied?" Li Yuan said: "Asking him to amend the law for his father is to give him a chance, if he doesn't know the severity, he should not be forgiven for his father." ”

Li Jiancheng hung his head and was silent, secretly thinking that his father seemed to have a very prejudiced opinion of Liu Wenjing, but this Liu Wenjing was quite powerful and could not be used only by measure, but it was a pity.

Although he had objections, he rarely refuted his father, and thought that the people of the world ...... Don't know how?

**

Liu Wenjing retreated to the house, his face was calm along the way, but when he returned to the mansion, when there was no one around, he came out with a jar of wine. didn't take the bowl, just slapped open the mud seal, drank a few sips, and after putting down the wine jar, he said angrily: "Li Yuan, you deceive people too much." ”

His eyes were full of anger, which was completely different from the gentle and elegant above the court.

"Even if I help a dog, it's better than helping you. Lao Tzu did these things, and you actually did this to Lao Tzu. Pei Lonely's incompetent, you are reused, Lao Tzu has tried his best, and you actually asked me to revise the law? I'm only afraid that a suspicious person like you will despise Liu Wuzhou, and you will suffer a big loss under Liu Wuzhou after all! ”

Many people think that Li Yuan handed over the matter of Pei Lin to Liu Wenjing, which is a great trust in him, because in the court, in addition to Li Yuan's relatives, that is, Pei Lin can hook up with Li Yuan.

Just because Pei Lin and Li Yuan were the same old men back then, Pei Lin and Li Yuan ate, drank and gambled, and they were all together. Li Yuan Taiyuan rebelled, Pei Lin was the first to respond, and even risked killing his head, and served almost the pot of Jinyang Palace to Li Yuan.

Although after that, Pei Lin mostly did some clerical work to coordinate Li Yuan's rectification of Guanzhong, but Li Yuan was extremely important to Pei Lian, and he could even sleep together.

Since Liu Wenjing's uprising, he has not cared about any trivial matters, but he said that he borrowed horses from the Turks, negotiated peace with the Turks, stabilized the rear, outwitted Tongguan, and saved Li Shimin in the shallow water plain, all of which were great military achievements!

But although Liu Wenjing is a great talent, Li Yuan has always been lukewarm, even if Li Jiancheng is aggrieved for Liu Wenjing, why is Liu Wenjing not angry?

The resentment in his eyes was even stronger, Liu Wenjing was thinking about something, and the next person hurriedly arrived, "Lord Sima, please see the eldest grandson Shunde." ”

Liu Wenjing was slightly stunned, not knowing what the eldest grandson Shunde was looking for him, "Please wait in your living room, I'll be there soon." Liu Wenjing saw that she was dressed in wine and wanted to change it, but after a change of heart, she walked towards your living room with a wine jar. Along the way, he thought about it, he and his eldest grandson Shunde have never had any friendship, and they usually come and go on business, so what is the meaning of him coming suddenly?

Liu Wenjing is a very thoughtful person, knowing that Li Yuan has several powerful characters under him, although this eldest grandson Shunde is in the eyes of others, he is a very powerful opponent.

Seeing the eldest grandson Shunde standing with his hands in his hands, admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the painting is the scene of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland. Liu Wenjing's resentment was gone, and she replaced it with uninhibited feelings, and said in a loud voice: "The eldest grandson is here, and the lower officials have missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde turned around slowly, saw Liu Wenjing faltering, and didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Uninvited guest, please also Haihan." ”

"Do you want to drink?" Liu Wenjing said with the wine jar in his hand.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." The eldest grandson, Shunde, did not explain the intention. Liu Wenjing pondered his thoughts, and had already asked his subordinates to take the sea bowl. After pouring two bowls of wine, both of them drank it all, Liu Wenjing pretended to be drunk and said, "Could it be that the eldest grandson came here just to drink with the lower officials?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde looked at the wine bowl and said: "Liu Sima, if you want to live an unsatisfactory life, it is nothing to gain or lose for a while." In fact, in my opinion, it is also a good thing to amend the law. ”

Liu Wenjing was greatly surprised, puzzled by what he meant, and laughed wildly in an instant: "This thing is really good, Tang Wang is heavy, and I, Liu Wenjing, should be the liver and brain, and do my best." ”

Of course, what he said was insincere, and the eldest grandson Shunde frowned slightly, looked out of the hall in an instant, and said, "I heard that Lord Liu stayed in the grassland for a while before?" ”

"So what?" Liu Wenjing said vigilantly.

The eldest grandson Shunde pondered for a moment, "It's okay, I'm leaving." As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the hall. Liu Wenjing didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't keep it for a while, the eldest grandson Shunde walked outside the hall, suddenly stopped and said: "Lord Liu, in fact, there are many things that are worth cherishing." It's a shame to miss it. After he finished speaking, he slowly walked out of Liu's mansion, Liu Wenjing's mind was racing, he didn't understand what the eldest grandson Shunde meant, he just didn't bother to pay attention to the eldest grandson Shunde, resentment rose again, and muttered: "Li Yuan, don't think that this world has fallen into your hands!" Someday, I'm going to make you regret what you've done! ”
