The End of the Sui Dynasty

Li Shimin looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he said softly......, the child has three strategies, upper, middle and lower,

It's up to the father to decide! "You say!" Li Yuan's brows have been furrowed, but it is a picture of Yang Guang's "mother-in-law face," which Yang Guang once joked about.

"The one who made the decision, immediately summoned the brothers, nephews and aunts in the mansion, and brought the softness, and the whole of my Tang State Mansion quickly chased Chen Kefu away. Maybe when Chen Kefu establishes a new dynasty one day, my father and my Li family will not lose an honorable position. Li Yuan shook his head, "Now even if Chen Kefu is a dragon, he is still trapped in the shallows of the Central Plains. Unless he can return to the land of Liaodong, he will only be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it will be difficult to protect himself.

This is indeed a policy, and I can't gamble with the lives of dozens of people up and down my Li family. "If my father doesn't take the next step, then I still have the middle plan." Although the Great Sui River seems to be stable now, my father must also understand that the Great Sui has already been strong on the outside and on the inside. Like today's Zigang, he is conceited and difficult to listen to the wise words. The close ministers of the emperor in the court are all jiān evil people. This Liaodong was finally pacified, and the world was a little peaceful, but it immediately planned to attack the Eastern Turks. How can the Eastern Turks be easy to fight with their generations, and the war is together, the child believes that this will only make the people of the world more frightened than the conquest of Liao back then.

At that time, those peasant rebels will definitely take advantage of the situation to rise again, and if Chen Kefu joins the army, the imperial court will have to deal with the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Eastern Turks, and also have to deal with the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of Chen Kefu in Liaodong. There are countless rebels all over the Central Plains, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be difficult both internally and externally, and if we are not careful, the Great Sui Dynasty will be over.

"I don't know what you're talking about. It's just a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff. The more the blow before death, the more crazy and terrifying it became. Although the Great Sui was in internal and external difficulties, there were still millions of soldiers and horses. If the emperor and the Turks reached an agreement at that time, there would be no war for the time being. So whether it is Chen Kefu or the Central Plains peasant rebels, they are not the opponents of the imperial court. Maybe in the end, the imperial court will be greatly damaged, but it will not be defeated all at once. What's your middle point? ”

Li Shimin whispered in Li Yuan's ear, "The middle strategist, imitating Chen Kefu's ears." As my father said, the imperial court now has to face the Turks, the Central Plains rebels, and the Liaodong Chen Kefu rebels, no matter who wins and who loses in the end. This will definitely be a big battle, and after the war, the imperial court, the Central Plains rebels, and Chen Kefu will definitely lose their vitality and strength. I have heard people say that today is not the appearance of longevity. And when there are only two sons today, one son has long been degraded, and the remaining prince is only a seven-year-old child, and he is not the queen's concubine. If Yang Guang dies, there will definitely be a fight. In that case, the Great Sui will only die faster. Father, as the Duke of Tang Guo, you are now sealed in Taiyuan. Tai was originally the ancient Tang Kingdom, and this is the opportunity given by heaven. "What do you mean, Erlang?"

"Father, the Central Plains peasant army is just a group of bandits who gather to rob them, and the warriors everywhere will not submit to them at all. Although Chen Kefu is in the southern Chen royal family, most of his subordinates are from Shandong.

People from Henan and Hebei. Only your father, who was born in a noble family in Guanlong, has a noble and prominent status.

Now most of the Guan Long family has been killed by Yang Guang, and the rest is when the dragons are leaderless. If my father returned to Taiyuan immediately at this time, while superficially surrendering to the imperial court, he would secretly develop and accumulate strength.

When the imperial court and Chen Kefu and others fought each other, and both sides were defeated, my father ascended to the top again, and I Li Tang will replace Yang Sui. ”

His son Li Shimin's words made Li Yuanshen move, and his pupils shrank. But just a moment later, the frenzy in his eyes had subsided. For a noble family like Li Yuan, who has been up and down in officialdom for decades, prudence is the first important thing. Now that Chen Kefu has defected,

The army is about to start. Yang Guang will definitely not let go of him, Chen Kefu's in-laws, but I am afraid that it will not be long before Yang Guang will know that Chen Kefu has run away. When the time comes, if you want to run back to Shanxi like Chen Kefu, it will be a dream.

And even if he returns to Shanxi, he doesn't have the strength to resist the imperial court now. He is not like Chen Kefu, who has more than 100,000 or 200,000 elite soldiers and horses, and he does not have a base in Liaodong like an iron plate. If he starts an army now, he will only be regarded by Yang Guang as the chicken that is used to set an example for monkeys to kill.

Shaking his head, Li Yuan looked at his son and said, "Tell me about your best strategy!" ”

Seeing that his father vetoed the middle policy, Li Shimin was a little disappointed. In fact, this middle strategy is what he wants the most, although the soldiers may have come out early to rot first. But as long as you hold on, you can take the lead. Otherwise, when Chen Kefu and the others survive, it will be difficult to fight with them in the future. ,

"Father, you should know what it is, you don't need me to say it. Before the emperor found out about Chen Kefu's defection, his father Ji immediately entered the palace to face the saint and expose Chen Kefu's defection to the emperor. And be sure to ask the emperor for guilt, and it is best to resign from the positions of Nayan and Liaodong Stay. As long as my father is sincere enough, I believe that the emperor will not involve us in the end. After all, Chen Kefu reversed, if the emperor disposed of his father, then there would be no more alliances between Wen Valve and Pei Que that could be suppressed. After Chen Kefu's rebellion, it was even more impossible for the emperor to let Yuwenque and Pei Que ally and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition. However, in this way, although we can choose ourselves, we have also completely offended Chen Kefu. In the future, if Chen Ke wins, then we will not have a good result. Li Yuan smiled helplessly, "I will enter the palace immediately to face the saint, but for now, we can only choose so." As for the future, I can only take one step at a time. Patting his son on the shoulder, Li Yuan said, "Erlang, now that you are mature, I hope you can also think about the Li family as you do now in the future." Make more friends when you have time, and if one day, we will also go back to Shanxi. If our Li family really has that day, Erlang, after a hundred years as a father, everything in the Li family will be handed over to you to inherit. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but move. His father's words have already shown him that if there is a chance, the Li family will also compete for the world. And if he really sits in the world, then he will be the prince. restrained his emotions and said happily, "Father, please rest assured, the people of the world will definitely fight for the future of the Li family!" ,, Ziwei Palace Liangyi Palace.

Dozens of palace maids were hanging yarn tents on both sides of the main hall, which was to prepare for the capture of Chen Kefu in the afternoon. At that time, there will be dozens of guards hidden behind this tent to prevent Chen Kefu from finally going out and hurting people.

An inner shì trotted into the hall and knelt under the platform, "Your Majesty, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, asked to see him, saying that there is an urgent matter." Yang Guang was suspicious for a moment, at this time, Li Yuan could have any urgent matter to enter the palace and ask to see. waved his hand at the people below, "You all go down first, Xuan Li Yuan come in." ”

Li Yuan, under the leadership of Nei Shi, immediately fell to the ground when he saw Yang Guang, and after knocking his head a few times, he said in panic, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" ”

Looking at this cousin, Yang Guang stretched out his hand and raised it weakly, and said lightly, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to make such a big gift, just say something about it." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't know anyone, and they didn't see that Chen Kefu was a rebel and thief, and he married his daughter to him. The minister is guilty! Li Yuan didn't raise his head, and kowtowed a few more times.

Yang Guang was also confused by Li Yuan's performance, and only the black-clothed Iron Guard knew about taking the opportunity to capture Chen Kefu this afternoon. Even Yu Wenshu and Pei Yun, Gao Zhen and others don't know yet. But looking at Li Yuan's performance, he knew it.

"Chen Kefu was the left minister of the dynasty, and he was the generalissimo of the Mobei Road march appointed by Zhenqin, and he was also an important minister of the imperial court who controlled the military of the fifteen counties of Liaoxi, Liaoxi, and Murowei. Moreover, Qing only married her daughter to Chen Kefu yesterday, why did she come to me today to tell me that Chen Kefu was plotting a rebellion? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has never discovered the true face of Chen Kefu's wolf ambition.

Today, the dog went to see his sister, but unexpectedly found that Chen Kefu had defected to Jingshi with his subordinates. The minister heard that Yu Shitai had recently obtained a lot of evidence of Chen Ke's rebellion, presumably he must have heard about it, and finally became a thief and defected in embarrassment. The minister is guilty of not investigating, and he has no face to serve as the Nayan given by His Majesty, Liaodong and other positions, please dismiss Your Majesty! Li Yuan kowtowed repeatedly, and burst into tears as he spoke, as if he was completely blinded by Chen Kefu.

"What? Chen Kefu defected and fled Beijing? Yang Guang was startled, and stood up, and a pair of eyes stared at Li Yuan like copper bells. This news really shocked Yang Chan, and Chen Kefu's awesomeness Yang Guang was clear. That's why he planned to take Chen Kefu after introducing him into the palace, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong. But he never thought that Chen Kefu would be able to know about such a secret plan first, and escape from Jingshi under his nose like this.

As soon as Chen Kefu came out of Beijing, it was no less than a dragon returning to the sea and a tiger entering the mountains and forests. If he is allowed to return to Liaodong again, then dozens of soldiers in Liaodong will immediately rise up in rebellion. Liaodong, which has made countless efforts, is about to be lost again, and if Liaodong is in chaos, all the plans of the Eastern Turks will inevitably be abandoned.

Angry, Yang Guang swept away all the cups in front of the table, and those gold and silver utensils fell to the floor of the palace.

Wheezing, rapid breathing sounded, and Yang Guang's hands were a little trembling and pointed to the main hall, "Come here, immediately summon all the officials of the third grade or above in Beijing to enter the palace to discuss matters." In addition, all the generals of the Praetorian Guard were immediately summoned to enter the palace to see me. In addition, he immediately ordered Jin Wuwei to send troops and horses to blockade Kyoto and the whole city under martial law. Ordered, immediately lock up all the Chen Kefu people and put them in the prison of the Criminal Department. "It's been a long time since the emperor in the palace has seen the emperor so angry, so he hurriedly bent down in response and hurriedly gave the order to go!
