158 Shadows

When Li Min emerged from the sea, he only felt that the chill had entered the bone marrow, he never thought that he would be so embarrassed, and the cold numbness of his body even made him feel that all this was just an illusion at the moment.

But when he heard the human voice, he still subconsciously hid behind the flowers, trembling.

He knew that he had lost, and that he had lost, and that he was very likely to lose his life. Yang Guang is a faint monarch, but he still underestimated this faint monarch, this faint monarch is actually fortified everywhere, even if there is no Li Xuanba, even if there is no Xiao Buyi, with the organ of the high platform, he is helpless against him.

The best way to do this should actually be to lure him out of the Eastern Capital, ambush him on the way, or assassinate him in the Sifang Pavilion? Li Min was a little confused in his mind, but he was a little frustrated in his heart, he was careless, he was too high to see the ability of Wang Xuba and Li Shanfei, he still shouldn't have started it so early, he ...... All kinds of assumptions made Li Min's spirit a little trance, but the self-blame of masturbation made him even more depressed, but there is no regret medicine in this world, if everything is done again, anything can happen, and the bitterness at the corner of Li Min's mouth has been frozen and stiff. Things seemed to be going smoothly, but the situation took a turn for the worse, Li Xuanba died, his henchmen died, he thought that most of the things had been successful, but he didn't expect that the faint monarch watched this farce coldly, and finally escaped from the dark passage. The faint monarch mobilized the soldiers of the sea ships early, and on Penglai Island, except for the ministers, all the soldiers of the Jianmen Mansion were killed! Li Min shuddered again when he thought of this, the faint monarch was faint enough, but the faint monarch was ruthless enough. Although Wang Xuba killed Li Xuanba, he was also seriously injured, Wei Dao'er didn't care about his pillar country for Wang Xuba, and actually dived to escape, both of them are extremely high martial arts, although the sea in Shanglin Yuan is very large, it is like a fish pond for them, but it is bitter for him this pillar country. He was unwilling to be captured, and he also learned from Wang Xuba and the two of them to jump into the sea, the sea water was cold and biting, he actually resisted, but he was already discouraged.

"Lord Dugu, everything on Penglai Island has been taken care of, and the adults have also been sent to a safe place." A guard said.

Duguji's voice rang out, "Have Wang Xuba and Lishanfei caught it?" ”

"Lord Hui, my subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't found any trace of the two for the time being, but I am searching for them with all my might." The guard replied.

Dugu Ji sighed softly, "These two rebels are strong in martial arts, it is not easy to kill them, you just need to protect the emperor carefully, and you must not make any mistakes." Didn't that Li Shanheng also fail to catch it, and he was defeated and fled? ”

Li Min didn't know whether he was happy or sad in his heart, if he wanted to say happy, his brother finally escaped, there was always a little hope, and the sad thing was that when he started to rebel, he had already fallen into the calculation of the faint king, but he was still full of ambition.

"Yes, sir." The soldier said respectfully: "The holy side has long been heavily guarded, and mosquitoes can't fly into it." ”

"How can there be mosquitoes in this weather, are you kidding me?" Dugu Ji is obviously in a good mood.

The soldier smiled and said, "How dare your subordinates." ”

"Don't say it, there's really a mosquito here." Duguji's voice rang out, full of mockery, "Just behind this flower, what a big one." ”

Li Min's heart sank, and he heard Dugu Ji say lightly: "Lord Li, I don't know if you still want to swim in the sea?" If you don't want to, you can go with me. ”

Li Min stood up slowly, his waist was difficult to straighten, and when he saw Duguji's smug face, his lips moved, but there was no sound at all.

**When Xiao Buyi was beside Yang Guang, he was full of shock, and he found that he also underestimated Yang Guang a little. Yang Guang can ignore anyone's life and death, but he has always been cautious about his own surname.

When he walked into the dark passage, he thought that Yang Guang would be embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the buildings under Penglai Mountain were no more humble than the palaces on the ground, and they were even more magnificent. I don't know how many times Yang Guang can go here in his life, Xiao Buyi secretly smiled bitterly.

When something comes to Yang Guang's hands, it is necessary to seek perfection, even if it is a place of refuge.

The underground palace was guarded, and everyone was solemn, knowing that the saint was here, it meant that something unusual had happened in the Great Sui. Xiao Buyi was thinking, such a palace, such a manpower, Li Min actually didn't know at all, which shows that Yang Guang is very cautious. If you have to sacrifice your life to save each other, risk your life to persuade Yang Guang to escape, and you are also Yang Guang's relative, but I am afraid that I will not be able to enjoy the treatment of entering here, and most of them are no different from the ministers at this moment.

After Yang Guang arrived at the underground palace, he didn't rest, just pulled out a tube-like thing from the wall to look at it, like the periscope of a submarine in Xiao Buyi's era, but Xiao Buyi heard the voices of Li Min and Wang Xuba outside, dull but still clear.

"Master Li, in the end, we have a meeting, I just hope you are safe and sound, and there will be a period later." Wei Dao'er said: "Brother Wang, let's go, forgive these soldiers and can't stop the two of us." ”

"Two brothers, you, alas, ......" Wei Dao'er's voice was gone, and Li Min's long sigh was replaced by the sound of hurried footsteps.

When Xiao Buyi was shocked by the ingenious design here, he sighed that Wei Dao'er's methods, Wang Xu'er's martial arts may be more clever, or he may be a hero, but this Wei Dao'er can be regarded as a hero. Wei Dao'er and they helped Li Min because he might sit on the throne, but when Li Min was about to become a lost dog, they didn't want to take a second look.

Immediately afterwards, Duguji's voice came, "Put down the blade, Rao Er will not die." Then there was the cheers of the ministers, Yang Guang shook his head and said, "It's too early for Dugu to come." ”

Empress Xiao has been by Yang Guang's side, her face is pale, and she is obviously frightened, hearing Yang Guang say this, she asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, Li Min conspired against the big crime and almost frightened you, I think the guards came too late, why did you say that you came early?" ”

Yang Guang shook his head and said: "I know that Li Min wants to rebel, but he is against the world, what can he do to me?" I just want to see which of the ministers is loyal and which is annihilated! ”

Xiao Buyi secretly felt cold, but Queen Xiao's eyes were a little red, "Shengshang, but Xuanba, this kid, because he wants to put down the rebellion for you, now, now I'm afraid that he is dead." ”

Speaking of this, Queen Xiao's voice was a little choked, and she slowly cried silently, "It's the child Buyi, who also sacrificed his life and forgot to die for you, you don't know, when he vomited blood, I felt a heartache!" Shimin's child is still outside, and when he saw Xuanba's death, he was crazy, I couldn't pull it, and I don't know what to do now. ”

"Shimin is fine, no matter what he says, he has two hits, not to mention that he is not stupid." Yang Guang frowned, glanced at Xiao Buyi and said, "Buyi, you are very good, I know that you are the most loyal." ”

Xiao Buyi had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty is just a duty. ”

"I didn't expect these people to rebel." Yang Guang looked a little strange, and had a somewhat suspicious expression, "Even Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, doesn't let out a fart, it seems that he didn't participate in the rebellion." It's just that his son wants to marry Li Min's daughter, does he not follow when he sees his in-laws rebelling? ”

Xiao Buyi knew that now that Yang Guang had begun to settle accounts after the autumn, the three giants of Li Valve's triumvirate would definitely die now, and now he would see which one could be implicated. Fortunately, he finally showed his loyalty and successfully became a model of loyalty and patriotism, but this is also due to the fact that he knows that Yang Guang will not die now. Since Yang Guang will not die, of course the safety factor is greater if he follows him, and Xiao Buyi understands these small accounts.

"Back to the saints, in fact, I think many ministers are loyal, but they are just ......"

"Loyal?" Yang Guang snorted coldly: "If you are really loyal, how can you see that when I am in trouble, except for Xuanba and you, no one has stepped forward to escort me?" If he is really loyal, what kind of chess does Wei Wensheng have to play in the Li Mansion? If he was really loyal, why didn't anyone come out to defend me when that bastard Li Min accused me? ”

Xiao Buyi muttered in his heart, it is tiring to be a subordinate to the Bird Emperor of you, only those who die are loyal, and the rest are skeptical, and they will lose their heads if they are not careful.

"Holy Lord, if you let Li Min continue, how can they come out to distinguish? Later, even if you want to tell, the change is too fast. Empress Xiao persuaded.

Yang Guang snorted coldly, frowning and pacing around, Empress Xiao's eyes were a little red, and she muttered: "The people of the world are still outside, and the saint is ......."

"The queen doesn't have to worry," Xiao Buyi persuaded: "Shimin has no contradiction with them, and besides, he looks insignificant, who will deliberately embarrass him?" ”

"That's what you said," Empress Xiao relaxed, "That's ......"

Before she finished speaking, she heard screams outside again and again, and couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Holy Lord, what's wrong outside?" ”

"It's good to kill, it's good to kill." Yang Guang muttered to himself: "It's all that should be killed, it's all that should be killed." ”

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw Yang Guang's murderous face, he had already heard it clearly, Dugu Ji persuaded the guards who had just rebelled against the prison gate, this would be another slaughter, and the screams outside were made by those unarmed soldiers.

Seeing the murderous aura on Yang Guang's face, Empress Xiao also understood what was going on in an instant, her face was pale, but she did not dissuade her. No one understands the surname of her husband who has lived around her for decades better than her, that is, capriciousness! Although she is the queen, she has always understood the advance and retreat, even if she wants to ask for something, she has always waited until her husband is in a good mood, which will make him kill with intent to rise, and that is something that no one can stop.

When the screams gradually subsided, Yang Guang was a little less excited, but he was still pacing back and forth, looking a little restless.

Xiao Buyi could only accompany him to wait, and I don't know how long it took, suddenly the bell rang in the room, and Yang Guang laughed and said, "Mingcui is here." ”

When Pei Mingcui saw the car, there was no expression on her face. But apart from her, others and even important ministers can't go to this underground palace to see her, which shows that she is important in Yang Guang's mind.

Pei Mingcui didn't look at Xiao Buyi, but only saluted Yang Guang: "Holy Lord, Mingcui is polite." ”

"Quick, sit." Yang Guang took Pei Mingcui's hand, sat down on the bed, and asked urgently, "Mingcui, how are things going?" ”

Pei Mingcui said: "Back to the saint, everything is going well. Her expression was blank, Yang Guang was actually apprehensive when he saw her wooden expression, it might be an unprecedented time. When I heard her say that it was going well, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and when I saw her expression, I suddenly thought of something, restrained my smile, and sighed and said: "Mingcui, I am also sad about the death of Xuanba, but I didn't expect Li Min to be so cunning, and he actually secretly Chen Cang and dropped Sima Chang'an, even if Xuanba fell for their plot." You also know that when Xuanba made a move, I couldn't stop it, and when he was plotting, I didn't have the slightest way. ”

There have been things about asking an emperor to explain to a courtier since ancient times, but when an emperor like Yang Guang explains to a courtier, this should be the first time that Yang Guang has been the emperor.

Pei Mingcui's face was gloomy and said: "Xuanba's death, Xuanba's death......" When she said this, she suddenly covered her chest, hung her head for a long time, and waited until she raised her head before saying, "Xuanba's death is mostly the will of heaven." ”

Yang Guang saw the pain in her eyes, unable to contain it, his face was flushed, and he seemed to forcibly suppress his enthusiasm, and he felt a little compassion.

Over the years, Yang Guang has been accustomed to being full of great causes, he named the country as a great cause, of course, what he wants to do is also a great cause, and he has really made a great cause, which makes him in a state of fanaticism, unable to listen to other people's ideas, and ignoring family affection. When Prince Yuande came to see him in the Eastern Capital from Xijing, he wanted to ask to stay for a while, but he didn't allow it, because it was the critical moment for him to plan the blueprint of the Great Sui, and he couldn't delay his great cause by the so-called family affection. He only slept for a few hours a day, and he reviewed and reviewed all day without distinction between black and white, consolidating his power, and working hard to eradicate the old valve, which was harder than any emperor Yanjing in the past dynasties, and what he planned was what he thought the first emperor of the ages should do, but now ten years later, what did he get? He got the Central Plains, he got the yang and yin of the ministers, which made him start to suspect that there was something wrong with what he did, and he came to a conclusion, not that he had a problem, but that his people and subordinates did not understand his foresight, which made him very angry, even manic. But for Pei Mingcui, his feelings are very complicated, he is never angry and estranged, he knows that if there are two people in this world for his good, one of them should be Queen Xiao, and of course the other one is Pei Mingcui!

His care for Pei Mingcui began after Chen Xuanhua's death, and he completely compensated for his guilt for Chen Xuanhua to Pei Mingcui, if there is really anything in this world that can make him pause slightly in the process of building a great cause, it is obviously his love and miss for Chen Xuanhua, but Chen Xuanhua died, and when he occasionally thought about it, he quickly turned his thoughts, only feeling shameful and ashamed of his cowardice back then. Even if he is the Son of Heaven, he still can't save the life of his beloved, even if he is the Son of Heaven, he can only ascend to the throne today, he has always felt sad that he has endured humiliation for more than ten years in exchange for the position of the Son of Heaven. There is no fairness in this world, the same for the people, the same for the Son of Heaven, history is the merit of the victors, and the shame of the losers. He has four biological brothers, the crown prince Yang Yong was squeezed out by him, and finally when he ascended the throne, the pseudo-emperor gave the eldest brother to death, and in order to eliminate future troubles, he killed the ten sons of his biological eldest brother. The third Qin king Yang Jun was suave, but he was poisoned by a jealous woman, but he got a good death, the old five Han king Yang Liang rebelled, was caught by him after being pacified, starved to death, and the last remaining fourth Shu king Yang Xiu has courage, magnificent appearance, beautiful beard, and many martial arts, but what is the use of this! The first emperor just didn't like this Yang Xiu, so he used a little trick to let his father kill hundreds of his subordinates, and put the fourth brother under house arrest for life. Every time he thinks of the death of several brothers and sees the fourth dog alive, Yang Guang never has the slightest sense of guilt, he knows that if other brothers sit on the throne, he will also die tragically or live like a dog, the emperor's family, it has always been like this! He always takes the fourth child by his side, not because of brotherly love, but because he wants to spur himself on, he can't relax, if he relaxes a little, he may end up like the fourth child, he is such a hard-hearted person, but now he has a sense of guilt for Pei Mingcui.

He is guilty because although Pei Mingcui has great power, he never abuses it, he is guilty because although Pei Mingcui is scheming, he only gives advice for him, he is guilty because Pei Mingcui has always been loyal and dedicated, but he has never made even the slightest request, he is guilty because Pei Mingcui has only loved one person in his life, but this person has shed the last drop of blood in order to protect him, the emperor!

Li Xuanba is dead, Yang Guang feels as if Pei Mingcui is also dead, at least he feels that Pei Mingcui's pain is not weaker than when he died Chen Xuanhua, he feels that Pei Mingcui is his shadow!

He didn't know that Pei Mingcui had established the Shadow Alliance, let alone the meaning of the Shadow Alliance, but he knew the Pei Mingcui in front of him very well, and he was 100% sorry!

"Even if Xuanba doesn't die today, he must not be able to survive for long." Although Pei Mingcui wanted to say it plainly, her trembling voice betrayed her hidden feelings, seeing her sadness, Xiao Buyi was also guilty, he felt that he could have helped Li Xuanba, but he, like Yang Guang, was powerless.

Yang Guang coughed dryly, "I will bury Xuanba's scenery ......"

"Thank you." Pei Mingcui replied in a low voice and changed the topic, "The soldiers led by Li Shanheng originally rushed to Shanglin Yuan to force the palace, but they were repelled by Wang Shichong and Lieutenant General Dong. ”

Yang Guang frowned, "Li Shanheng ran away?" ”

"Mingcui knew that it was easy to defeat Li Shanheng, and it was difficult to kill Li Shanheng, so she specially bribed his subordinates and designed to kill him." Pei Mingcui continued: "The Holy Lord can rest assured, he can't die anymore now. ”

Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's good to die." Xiao Buyi's heart was awe-inspiring, and he secretly said that Li Shanheng's martial arts were superb, and Pei Mingcui killed him like a weight, it seems that in this world, martial arts do not determine everything, and scheming is the foundation of dominance.

"Li Shanheng is dead, and the Yuwen clan exposed the rebellion of Shen Minggong overnight," Pei Mingcui presented a fold, "This is the secret report and handprint of the Yuwen clan, and the saint can hand over this case of rebellion to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department for trial, which must satisfy the saint." ”

Yang Guangru took the fold of the treasure, but he only flipped it twice, his face showed ecstasy, but he glanced at Xiao Buyi beside him, and his face became as cold as ice, "I didn't expect Shen Minggong to be so rebellious, I misjudged him." ”

Xiao Buyi's face was as usual, and he secretly said in his heart, you are still acting now, but show me? I somehow knew about this rebellion, and I seemed to trust, but I felt a little bad.

Pei Mingcui didn't have any expression, and continued: "Dugu Ji led his troops to punish the rebels of the prison house, and found that Sima Changan had died at home, presumably loyal to the country but was killed by rebellion, Li Min jumped into the sea and absconded, and was captured by Lieutenant General Dugu. The only regret is that Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er ran away from the two thieves, but it must not be a climate. ”

Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mingcui is doing a good job, but are there other things?" ”

"When the ministers saw the disappearance of the saint, it was inevitable that people would be panicked, and now they are all waiting for the saint in the Yingzhou Temple, and they also ask the saint to move to see them, so as to reassure the ministers." After Pei Mingcui said this, she waited for Yang Guang to answer.

Yang Guang nodded, "Mingcui, you did a good job, since that's the case, I'll go see them right away." ”

**Yingzhou Palace, Yang Guang restored his majesty, looked down at the ministers, and had already said that Su Wei had said that Li Valu had rebelled, and all the ministers listened and did not dare to say more.

At this time, Yang Guang showed his benevolence again, saying that he would hand over the rebellious ministers to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for trial, I don't know what your opinions are Aiqing?

The ministers naturally said that the saint was wise, and the ministers had no objections.

Yang Guang also put what crime is not as good as the heir, both in the way of filial piety, grace and righteousness, and the principle of persuading the monarch to come out, saying that this time the rebellion, although it is a big rebellion, but he is magnanimous and benevolent, and does not sit together, only investigates the fault of a few main culprits, as for others, they can be exempted. The ministers have performed well in the rebellion here, those who have merit will be rewarded, those who have no merit will also have hard work, and those who have rewards will not be pursued.

The ministers were conspiring against each other, and they did not escort them, so that the Son of Heaven was frightened, they were all worried in their hearts, they were afraid that Yang Guang would blame, and they were all overjoyed when they heard Yang Guang say this, and they began to accuse Li Min one after another.

Xiao Buyi stood at the end of the shift, did not speak, and looked at Yang Guang sitting on the high platform, feeling at a loss. Yang Guang not only looks good-looking, but also has a good reputation, at this moment he is majestic on the high platform, trying his best to intimidate the ministers, but he seems to be a little powerless. He killed Li Valve this time, not to eliminate the hidden danger, on the contrary, it will only speed up the rebellion of the old valve.

After the ministers told Li Valve's mistakes, Yang Guang waved his hand, the ministers were silent, and Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "The rebellious people are led by Li Hun, Li Min, and Li Shanheng, but it doesn't mean that the people of the Li family are all antipathetic. In this rebellion, Li Yuan's son Li Xuanba is loyal to the king, and it is a pity that he died for the rebellion. If you say that the first work of this counterinsurgency should be headed by Li Xuanba, and the people of the world should ......"

He called out, with a little warmth. Li Shimin's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he sobbed out of the ranks, "Holy Lord, the minister is here." ”

Yang Guang's eyes were filled with pity, "Your brothers are all doing very well tonight, I don't know what reward you want?" ”

Li Shimin wiped away his tears, suddenly raised his head and said: "Back to the saint, Shimin only wants to say the second brother's last wish, and doesn't want him to ask for it." ”

He and Li Xuanba, a mother and twins, have always had the best friendship, and they also like to compete with Li Xuanba for the position of the second child.

Yang Guang was a little surprised: "What did he say before he died?" ”

"Xuanba said that he was born in Taiyuan, and he was tired by illness all his life, so he only wanted to be buried in Taiyuan, ending the cycle of fate, reincarnated in the next life, and being healthy." Li Shimin choked up and said.

Xiao Buyi's heart moved slightly, thinking carefully about the original situation, and doubting whether Li Xuanba would say these words.

Yang Guang was moved, and said in a slight mutter: "Xuanba has made a great contribution this time, I originally wanted to give him a beautiful funeral, if he is buried in Taiyuan, it will be simple, Mingcui, what do you think?" ”

Yang Guang attaches great importance to Li Xuanba because of Pei Mingcui, of course, he has to ask Pei Mingcui's opinion.

Pei Mingcui stepped forward slowly and said: "Back to the saint, Mingcui only thinks that what Li Shimin said is appropriate, why don't you deal with it according to what he said?" ”

Yang Guang nodded, "Since this is the case, then I am exactly what the people of the world want." Shimin, do you have any other requirements? ”

Li Shimin shook his head and just said: "Any reward is not worth the grief in the hearts of the people, and the people don't want him to ask for it." ”

Yang Guang finally showed pity, turned his head to look at Pei Mingcui and said: "The first merit of counterinsurgency should be credited to Li Xuanba, and this second merit should belong to Mingcui, I don't know what you want?" ”

Pei Mingcui groaned slightly: "Mingcui, please transfer the Wuhou Mansion Wuwei Lang General, so as to arrest the rebellious party Wang Xuba and Wei Dao'er, and also ask the Holy Lord to play." ”

Yang Guang sighed lightly, knowing her thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Quasi-play." ”――

Well, there was a power outage for half a day today, and the community line will be overhauled tomorrow, and there will be a power outage, and the call will come at night.

(To be continued)
