This day is the day when Li Chengqian went to Qianzhou. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Qianzhou is now Chongqing, Sichuan, and anyone who knows a little about geography knows that Chongqing is located in the southwest of China, and is one of the important central cities in China, the economic center and financial center of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. But in ancient times, Qianzhou was not better than now, there were fewer people in the mountains, although the environment was good, but the economy was backward, the road was difficult, there was Shu Road, and it was difficult to go to the sky.

On this day, Duhe was summoned by Li Shimin.

The place where Du He was summoned was not the most common study manga hall, which was unexpectedly in the East Palace.

After Li Chengqian was demoted, he had moved out of the East Palace, and now the East Palace lacks an owner, which is particularly desolate. Du He stepped into this place again, looking at the familiar, but unfamiliar place, and his mood was a little heavy.

Led by the guards, Du Ho arrived at a large two-story building in the west of the East Palace. The building is very quaint and has a quiet atmosphere. There is a plaque in the building in public, which reads: "Diligent Fasting", the handwriting is neat and delicate, but it contains a feeling of flowing water.

Du He could see that this was Li Shimin's own inscription.

Walking into this "diligent fast", I found that this large building turned out to be a study. Named after "diligence", it shows that the owner of this name has high hopes for the owner of this study.

Du He also sighed secretly, and when he came to the second floor, Li Shimin was standing in front of a desk, with his back to him, and seemed to hear his voice, and said quietly: "This study was designed by me personally, and the plaque was also written by me myself. ”

Du He replied: "There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea, and my father-in-law is very ...... Uh...... "For a while, he didn't know what to call Li Chengqian, the prince must not be called, he is now a common man, but it is not appropriate to call him by name, and he paused before saying: "Brother's expectations." ”

Li Shimin turned around and exclaimed: "What a 'book mountain has a diligent path, and learning the sea is endless', Jin Yu said good words. Only diligence is the only shortcut, and only by paying hard work can we achieve the future. It's a pity that I am not a qualified father, and I have not been able to teach my children well, so that the current situation has arisen. ”

Du He didn't open his mouth to persuade him, he really didn't think much of Li Shimin's guilt in his heart. The father is only a guide for the child, whether the child can become a talent or not, can only rely on himself, he is not learning for the father, let alone growing up for the father. A father cannot live for his children, he has his own affairs, and he cannot always ask a father to understand his children, and as a child, he should also be considerate of his father. Li Chengqian is not small, he is not the kind of baby who doesn't know how to think for himself, and he really shouldn't blame his father for his fault.

However, as a father, it is natural for Li Shimin to have this kind of feeling, and it is useless to persuade outsiders, so he thought for a while before saying: "In fact, the son-in-law feels that the father-in-law and the eldest brother lack a communication, communication between people. You don't know what your uncle thinks, and you don't know what your father-in-law thinks. If you don't communicate with each other, it will inevitably lead to a lot of misunderstandings. In fact, this is also a disadvantage of the ancients to teach their sons, the ancients father is the sky, the father's lesson to the son is natural, there is almost no father will calmly chat with his son such a thing.

Li Shimin didn't answer, and after a while, he said: "I think you are right, in fact, I asked Cheng Qian a question, he is the crown prince, why do you want to oppose me." He said that he was unwilling, unwilling to be the prince for more than ten years, and let it go like this, to others. I knew he was talking about the blue sparrow, but I didn't tell him why. After listening to you, I felt that I should tell him. He is leaving, you see him off in my place, and tell him that I never thought of replacing him with a green sparrow, but after he was imprisoned twice, his behavior gradually began to be debauched, and he developed bad habits. I see all this in my eyes, I hope that he can be self-alert and self-warn, don't think that if he becomes the crown prince, he can become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and act arbitrarily. ”

When Du He told Li Shimin's words to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian cried, crying very sadly, he hoped to see Li Shimin again before leaving.

**********

"So, Hou Junji still hasn't appeared?" Li Shimin's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and every time he thought of this confidant who betrayed him, his eyes would show some complicated emotions. The pain caused by Li Chengqian has not healed, but as long as he sits on the throne, he is a qualified emperor.

Li Chengqian's matter has come to an end, and the verdict is as follows. The former crown prince is now a commoner, far away from the center of power. However, Hou Junji, as the mastermind, disappeared from everyone's sight and was never heard from.

Regarding how Wu Meiniang noticed Hou Junji's movements, Du He had told Li Shimin truthfully. Li Shimin's thoughts are like Du He, and he plans to use Hou Junji's family to catch Hou Junji's big fish. But things were not satisfactory, and the people arranged by Du He kept an eye on Nan Hong and his group all the way, and after many days, there was no trace of Hou Junji.

According to Nanhong's speed, in a few days, he will leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be so easy to start at that time.

As a last resort, Du He could only report the situation to Li Shimin to see how to decide.

Li Shimin was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Let's do it, Hou Junji has already thought of a way to retreat, and retreating to the north is definitely not a random escape." He is not the kind of person who is willing to fail, and must be planning a chance to make a comeback. ”

Du He nodded in agreement, he had personally investigated the secret passage where Hou Junji escaped, the secret passage was very long, very new, the structure was very simple, and the connection of the air holes was hastily, it can be seen that this secret passage was not carefully designed, but the latest excavation. When Hou Junji decided to rebel, he thought of a way out for himself.

If he wants to escape, he chose not to go elsewhere, but to the north, and the ten *** is planning to defect to Xue Yantuo. Because in the world, only Xue Yantuo has the ability to fight with the Tang Dynasty. Hou Junji wanted to turn over, but he had to take refuge in Xue Yantuo.

"First there was rebellion, then treason. Hou Jun's crime is unforgivable, how can it be tolerated! First detain his family, and on the day of Hou Junji's capture, the Hou family will be questioned together. Li Shimin still has a great grudge against Hou Junji, if it weren't for him, Li Chengqian would definitely not have the idea of rebellion. Although the matter of forcing the palace was decided by Li Chengqian himself, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hou Junji had occupied the weight of this forced palace and blamed all the sins on him, and he was not wronged.

Du He immediately ordered Huangfu Haohua, Ba Yuxing, Qin Yu and others to do it.

Huangfu Haohua, Ba Yuxing, and Qin Yu, as the right-hand men of Du He's direct line, have all become capable people with a skill after years of practice. Huangfu Haohua is quick-witted, quick-witted, and good at adapting, Ba Yuxing has the "Iron and Blood Heart Method", and his martial arts have been promoted to the world's first-class masters, Qin Yu's light skills are also constantly improving in his own hard training, although the martial arts are still a little insufficient, but if he is bent on dodging, even Ba Yuxing will not be able to touch him.

The three of them shot together, and even if Nan Hong had three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape, and the group was all captured.

After some interrogation, all the reasons were understood.

Nan Hong was not called Nan Hong many years ago, but Hong Nan, and more than ten years ago, he was a partial general next to Hou Junji. Hou Junji is a proud person and is not good at winning over relationships, but he is very protective of his shortcomings, so the soldiers who have served under him are often willing to serve him to the death.

Hong Nan fought bravely, and blocked an arrow for Hou Junji on the battlefield, which won Hou Junji's weight, but he had a problem...... Lascivious.

When fighting against Wang Shichong, Hong Nan was responsible for guerrilla warfare and eliminated Wang Shichong's scouts. Li Shimin governed the army very strictly, and the military law clearly stipulated that the people must not be disturbed, let alone commit such a big crime, and immediately ordered Hou Junji to execute Hong Nan.

Hou Junji couldn't bear it, so he let Hong Nan go privately and replaced him with a prisoner of war.

Originally, this kind of thing could not be concealed from Li Shimin, who was as wise as a torch, but at that time, Dou Jiande led an army of 100,000 to fight, and Li Shimin had no time to take care of him, so Hou Junji was allowed to hide this matter.

Hong Nan fled back to Chang'an, assumed the pseudonym Nan Hong, and started his old business of striking iron. After Hou Junji knew, he took more care of him, and after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, Hou Junji was the secretary of the military department, and used his authority to give Hongnan several sets of samples of Tang armor, and taught him the technology of making Ming Guang armor, Guangyao armor, fine Lin armor, Shanwen armor, black hammer armor and other Tang Dynasty thirteen armors, so that he could directly do business with the imperial court, and made a lot of money in a few years, becoming one of the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an.

Later, because of Du He's reminder, Li Shimin began to strictly control the smelting technology such as weapons and armor, and did not allow it to be passed on to the outside world and sold privately.

Hong Nam also made enough money to switch to the fur business.

If Hou Junji wants to force the palace to rebel, he needs sophisticated equipment. Datang is very strict with the management of equipment, even Hou Junji can't use the proper way to get it. In the end, he remembered Hong Nan and found him.

Although Hong Nan did not wash his hands, he never forgot his skills, and gathered some of the original helpers to create more than 200 Tang knives and more than 200 pieces of light armor for Hou Junji, and gave them to Hou Junji on the night of the death in Hongfu Temple.

Hou Junji asked for weapons and armor to rebel, and Hong Nan naturally did not dare to reveal his whereabouts that night.

As Wu Meiniang expected, because Hong Nan was doing the business of the Zhulian Nine Clans, he didn't care about the murder of the two murders at all.

As for Hou Junji's wife and children, they didn't know where Hou Junji went, but they knew that Hou Junji asked them to follow Hongnan.

Hong Nan is still a tough guy, he said everything, but he never said the whereabouts of Hou Junji.

Ren was tortured so harshly that he gritted his teeth and held on.

In the end, the mental interrogation method is effective, a strong-willed man, Ren is the mental breakdown of the interrogation, and tells everything truthfully.

Just as Li Shimin predicted, Hou Junji asked Hong Nan to use the caravan as a cover to send them to the Xue Yantuo royal court in the north. The way Hou Junji left for himself was to use Xue Yantuo to take revenge.

However, he only knew that Xue Yantuo was where Hou Junji went, and he didn't know how to go or where he went from.

**********

Du He has always had a hunch that once Hou Junji joins Xue Yantuo, it will definitely not be a good thing for Datang.

Soon his hunch was fulfilled.

A month after Li Chengqian's rebellion in the palace calmed down, news came from the north that Xue Yantuo's eldest son Dadu set up an army to attack Li Simo's department.

Li Simo is one of the remnant tribes of the Turks, is the tribe of Jieli Khan, has long been attached to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin ordered him to build a tooth tent in the south of the Hetao, nominally to rule the old tribe of the south of the Hetao, in fact, to monitor Xue Yantuo's every move. That is to say, Li Simo is Li Shimin's person, and Xue Yantuo's move is undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Tang Dynasty.

Less than three days after this incident, Dadu planned to enter the Great Wall and plunder materially, but the Tang generals had already prepared to use the defense line of the Great Wall to repel the attacking enemy.

In response to Xue Yantuo's attack, Li Shimin convened Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Ji to discuss.

This kind of high-level meeting, with Duhe's current status, is still difficult to attend.

"Your Majesty really expected things like a god, Xue Yantuo attacked twice, although it seems that there is no appearance of Hou Junji, but the places where the Dadu attack is set up are the weak points of my Datang defense line, and only Hou Junji can be so clear and understand the defense of the Datang territory so well." Li Ji, an old fritter, praised Li Shimin for a few words before getting to the point: "The minister has already made changes to the border defense, and this time he was lucky to repel the attacking enemy, but the other party relied on the swiftness of the horses, coming and going like the wind, and it was difficult to expand the results." If you don't take the initiative to attack, I'm afraid you can only be beaten passively. ”

Hou Junji's radical character, Li Ji, who has worked with him for many years, has a deep understanding, after learning the news that Hou Junji is likely to join Xue Yantuo, he immediately expressed the hope that the border defense situation can be changed, so as not to be used by Hou Junji.

Li Shimin agreed to this proposal. Sure enough, Dadu set up a direct attack on the key border defense points, and the brand-new frontier defense also achieved initial results.

Li Shimin heard Li Ji's voice, and asked with a smile: "According to Mao Gong's meaning, he should use troops against Xue Yantuo?" ”

Li Ji said categorically: "There is a saying in Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty that 'those who commit a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!'" Here, the minister quotes 'Those who commit crimes in the Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!' 'We've been preparing for a year, and we've already sharpened our swords, guns, and halberds, and it's time for him to compose a victory for the Tang Dynasty warriors. ”

Li Shimin listened to the enthusiasm, he didn't know that Li Ji's words were more or less flattering, but this spirit still ignited his high fighting spirit: "Well said...... I, Datang, have never been afraid of any enemy...... Xue Yantuo, the clown who jumped the beam, the guy who was Yi Nan, was still under the shadow of me to get to where he is today, and I want to let him know...... I let him be the overlord of the north, he is qualified to do it, I don't let him do it, he is nothing......"
