In the dim cabin, the forty men who lived in the position of Li Tang's commander sat in the darkness, alone and speechless. update

His mind, which was still in the army at this time, was full of the shadow of the purple crystal. Such a microwave thing has such a power to control life and death. He heard Li Shimin proudly mention it just now, and the result was that it was refined from a plant. It is said that the plant only grows on the snow line of the distant Kunlun Mountains, which is extremely rare.

The leaves are left for a long time, then soaked in lime water, sugar juice and certain precious spices from the South Sea Islands, then discarded, and the ashes are added to the potion to thicken and then let them crystallize. The process is slow and difficult, and the ingredients required are expensive and extremely difficult to find. It is said that there is only one person who knows about refining this poison, and even Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, although he has mastered this medicine, still does not know how to refine this medicine.

He didn't remember how Li Shimin called this kind of leaf, nor did he remember how the Taoist priest gave this kind of crystal name, he only remembered that Li Yuan exclaimed just now and called it "three days to go", and after putting it into the wine to dissolve, it was colorless and tasteless, once drunk. After three days, it is inevitable that the heart will attack like a heart disease, angina pectoris, and cause the trachea to be blocked, and it is said that the victim's face often ends up with the same purple color as the crystal, which is the same as the symptoms of angina pectoris.

Later this evening, Chen Pojun will set up a banquet in Mengjin Water Village to entertain Wang Shichong, Li Yuan and other three ministers. Early tomorrow morning, Chen Pojun will set sail for the camp and return to Hebei.

And just tonight, Li Shimin had agreed with Li Yuan and others that he would drag his broken leg to the banquet tonight, ostensibly for the daytime, and personally apologize to Chen Pojun. In fact, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Li Shimin personally toasted Chen Pojun.

After tonight, Li Yuan's father and son will also return to Hebei with Chen Pojun tomorrow morning. But after Li Shimin's incident, Li Yuan and the others were afraid that they would not be able to find such a good opportunity as tonight. Moreover, Li Yuan's father and son not only wanted Chen Pojun's life, they also planned to take Wang Shichong's life together. For the Li family's father and son, Wang Shichong, who seized their five counties in Hedong, is also their mortal enemy.

Thinking of Li Shimin's expression when he was lying on the couch and discussing this plan with Li Yuan and others, the man in the cabin couldn't help but shiver.

With a long sigh, he was at war with heaven and man in his heart. His grandfather was the assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father was also in the Sui Guanzhi Kaifu, that is, he himself, who also served as a minor official of the right guard in the Sui Dynasty, but in the year of the great cause of the expedition to Liaodong, he also escaped to Liaodong to participate in the war. During the reign of Emperor Wen, 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Sui Dynasty conquered Liaodong for the first time, but they were not adapted to the water and soil, causing epidemics, and finally the whole army was wiped out in Liaodong. For a child like him who was born in the noble family of Guanlong, but is now in decline, this is tantamount to going to death.

In order to avoid going to Liao, he defected to Li Yuan, a son of the family who had been friends in his early years. Li Yuan secretly came forward and arranged for him to be annoyed by Hedong Lou, where he used to be the assassin. After Li Yuan was released as an official Taiyuan, he became Li Yuan's confidant. Li Yuan designed to get rid of the two deputy guards sent by Yang Guang to monitor and contain him in Taiyuan, and recruited troops after Sui, all of which he had made great contributions to, and therefore awarded the post of commander of the army.

However, the tree fell and scattered.

Although Li Yuan was kind to him, and he was still Li Yuan's confidant, at this time, he had to carefully consider the situation in front of him. Thinking of the Li family's defeat at Longmen, he never wavered. However, later Chen Pojun went to recruit Li Yuan and them down the mountain, and he strongly advised them not to come to Mengjin, but strongly persuaded Li Yuan and his son to leave the team, return to Taiyuan in disguise, and stick to the change.

But Li Yuan's father and son did not agree with his suggestion, but during this trip to Mengjin, he suddenly felt the changes in the Li family's father and son. Not only Li Shimin has changed, but even Li Yuan has also changed. At the beginning, Li invested in Li Yuan, although it was a helpless move. But later, he wholeheartedly helped Li Yuan, but he appreciated Li Yuan's actions very much and was optimistic about his future. He always thought that Li Yuan was benevolent and won the support of the powerful people of the Jin people in Hedong. …,

But today, Li Yuan's father and son's last picture of the dagger made him suddenly understand that everything in Li Yuan's past was just a disguise. Once you are in need, you are just like Yang Mian, Li Mi and the like. Longmen was defeated and did not dare to return to Taiyuan in danger, but he came to Mengjin by luck. This is already cowardly and dare not die, but now when the skills are exhausted, but they are counting on poisoning Chen Pojun and Li Mi with poison, which has lost the domineering of heroes. Streets full of ruffians and scoundrels.

Li Yuan's father and son are like this, even if this time is really in the past, how many heroes are there in the world? Even if they are lucky enough to succeed, will they be able to use this to deal with other heroes in the future? This is a downfall after all.

Although he used everything to fight for hegemony, he had already seen through Li Yuan's character.

Li Yuan was born in a noble family and a corporal of Lixian, "After the Eight Pillars of the Country, there are many old officials; In the land east of the river, there are many capable subordinates", which brought him the advantage of talents. But this is just Li Yuan's superficial treatment. Now he has seen that Li Yuan is tolerant on the outside, but he is suspicious in his heart, he likes strategy but can't make decisions, he has talent but can't use it, and he can't adopt good plans when he hears them, just as Cao Cao once commented on Yuan Shao: "Yuan Shao is fierce and timid, and he is indecisive in his strategy; Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits. ”

Li Yuan led the army south, and when he arrived at Huoyi, he saw Yang Yun and Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses blocking the way ahead, so he had the intention of retreating and ordered the army to retreat. But his son Li Shimin persuaded him, but he asked his son to chase back the soldiers and horses overnight. In the battle of Longmen, he did not listen to the advice of the strategists, and at the moment of the war, Li Shimin was divided into troops with the most elite soldiers and horses to go south. Wait a minute.

With a long sigh, he took out a letter from his bosom. The letter was received secretly not long after he arrived in Mengjin, and no one knew about it. Under the dim candlelight, the words 'Uncle Respectfully' jumped on the paper.

I opened the letter and read it carefully over and over again, word by word, without missing it. The letter came from his own nephew, and the content of the letter was very simple and clear, that is, to persuade him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and join the Hebei court instead.

At the end of the letter was the name of the nephew of the family, 'The eldest nephew Wuji Dunbai'.

Looking at the name, he couldn't help but smile wryly. The eldest grandson is the queen of the Tuoba royal family, and it is also a noble family since Wei. But unfortunately, the family road gradually declined. His younger brother, Changsun Sheng, the father of Changsun Wuji, was a general at the beginning, and he could be regarded as making the entire Changsun clan a lot more glorious. It's a pity that Changsun Sheng died early, and the departure of the last powerful clansman of the Zhongxing Changsun clan made the Changsun clan finally fall in the middle.

However, although he can't write two grandsons in one stroke, his family and the eldest grandson Wuji's family have less contact than they do. At first, in order to avoid military service, he avoided Hedong early. Although I have also heard that the eldest grandson Wuji, a brother and sister, was kicked out of the house by his brother, he was powerless to help.

However, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. When he was in Hedong, he also had the intention of finding a way out for his pair of worn nephews and nieces, and wanted to draw the line and promise the eldest grandson Wujian to Li Yuanshu's fifth son.

But who would have thought that this pair of brothers and sisters who lost their father at an early age, were kicked out of the house by their half-brothers, and had to be sent to their uncle's house, have now reached the point where they make him look up. When he heard in Hedong that Chen Pojun had married his niece, the eldest grandson, Wujian, he was a little surprised. Who would have thought that Chen Pojun not only married this niece, but also liked her so much, and he would be named the concubine of King Chen so soon.

And the nephew who followed Chen Pojun, the eldest grandson Wuji, also ran for Chen Pojun, and this time he received his letter again, but he had been worshiped by the Hebei Imperial Court and crowned the position of the prince of the county. Even their uncle Gao Shilian rode the wind, bowed to the prime minister, and was knighted as the prince of the county.

With the current situation, Chen Pojun is very likely to win the world. At that time, Wujian will inevitably be the queen, and the eldest grandson clan will be the descendant. There is a nephew like Wuji who is young and liked by Chen Pojun and capable, and the eldest grandson's glory is just around the corner. The letter of the eldest grandson Wuji was written very respectfully, saying that the eldest grandson is now recovering the lintel in Hebei. It is more trusted and valued by King Chen, and at this time, when the imperial court is employing people, King Chen knows that his uncle Sun Shunde is known for his courage and wisdom, and he is even more concerned. The eldest grandson Wuji said that several clans of the eldest grandson clan had gradually reunited in Beijing, but his sister Princess Chen was the wife of King Chen, so it was inconvenient to manage the affairs of the clan. And he is too young, and he needs a famous uncle to go back and take charge of the family. …,

At the end of the letter, the eldest grandson Wuji said bluntly that Chen Wang Younuo, after the eldest grandson Wuji returned to Hebei, whether it was a civil official or a military position, he was self-chosen. The eldest grandson Wuji even said that he would give up his position and be replaced by his uncle.

Looking at this letter over and over again, the time is getting later and later, and the banquet is getting closer and closer, and the eldest grandson Shunde is getting more and more anxious.

Li Tang is not only uncertain about his future now, but he also has a different view from the Li family's father and son. On one side is a leaky and broken ship that is gradually sinking, and if you stay any longer, it will be destroyed at any time. On the other hand, the situation is very good, and there are clan relatives and friends, as soon as they join, it is clear at a glance.

Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the kings of the national dynasties have long been no more than small clans. It's not a shame to change the court and vote for a new master. This is an era where the strong are respected, and whoever is a hero can win the world. As for the nobles of the upper echelons of the world, they didn't care too much about this. Whoever becomes the emperor is the same, anyway, in the past few hundred years, it is not uncommon to see a change of dynasty. The elder is more than 100 years old, and the short one is 20 or 30 years, even if the founding emperor is a hero, he can't beat the flow of time, and the heroes are doubled.

The nobles of the family have always only known that they have a family, and they do not care about the kings of the country. For them, there is no immortal empire, only a family that has been passed down from generation to generation. The eldest grandson Shunde thought about it for a long time, and suddenly heard the drum in the water village announce the time, and the dinner was about to begin.

Gritting his teeth, the eldest grandson Shunde quickly took out the pen and ink, and quickly wrote a letter in a hurry, in which all the conspiracy of Li Yuan's father and son in the evening was put on paper. Hurriedly drying the ink, the eldest grandson Shunde came out of the hatch, saw that there was no one left and right, and quickly placed the folded letter there in a hidden position under the flagpole at the bow of the ship. This is the contact information written on a small note that came with my nephew's letter. These days, he has been hesitant and has never used it, and now, he finally has a place to submit a book.
