Chapter 846: Father and Son
"Shall we just surrender our enemies?" After Li Xuanba left, Li Daozong sat down on the chair with a complicated expression, sighed and said, completely without the arrogance and anger at the beginning.
"So what? When Li Xin occupied Taiyuan, the overall situation had already been decided, but no one mentioned it. Li Xiaogong sighed and said: "It is said that it is an outsider, not necessarily, Li Xin is also the son-in-law of my Li family, and besides, Zhaojun Li and Longxi Li are both Li family." In the final analysis, the surname is still Li in this world. ”
"Brother, you say, this concubine." Li Daozong hesitated.
"The war on the outside is over, and the struggle on the inside is over, isn't it all like that? There is only one supreme in the world, don't look at Li Xin now that he is young and strong, no one can say for sure about some things, the same is true for the King of Han, what if there are three long and two short? Isn't that King Chen's chance? At that time, our Li family was still soaring, which may not be a good thing. Li Xiaogong still didn't say a word. Since ancient times, it is not unheard of for relatives to seize the world.
"Hey! If Li Shimin hadn't made any changes in Xuanwumen at the beginning, maybe we would still have a chance to counterattack. Li Daozong sighed, the Xuanwumen Rebellion killed and injured countless people, and I don't know how many people died after the coup, although Li Shimin finally took pacification measures, but some things have happened and cannot be changed, and the morale of the army has been affected.
"Even if there is no change in Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate, my Da Zhao will be destroyed by Li Xin sooner or later. Li Xin is united as one, the national strength is strong, far above my Great Zhao, and my Great Zhao is reckless, not only those ordinary people can no longer stand it, even if it is a big family, now all the private soldiers are requisitioned by us. Most of the food, grass, and money were spent, and these people hated us even more. Li Xiaogong stood up, walked outside the lobby, looked at Li Xuanba in the distance and sighed, and said: "My Da Zhao's defeat is already a foregone conclusion, and it is not a way to obey Li Xin." ”
Li Xiaogong is a person who understands, and now he is resisting, and in the end, the Li family is all destroyed, and Li Xin is not a good stubble. If you belong now, not to mention saving your life, you may not have no opportunities in the future. If Li Chengji is put on the throne, the Li family of Longxi, as a relative, will get more benefits.
Moreover, in Li Xin's holy decree reward, whoever has the highest official title is himself, except for Li Yuan. Li Yuan will only be a pension role in the future. There will be no chance to come out to take power at all, and only he, Li Xiaogong, can continue to gallop on the field and make contributions.
"I wonder if the emperor will agree to this?" Li Daozong let out a long sigh.
"That's not your business or mine. Let's rest! I didn't expect to fight for a long time, and finally become a family. Li Xiaogong was about to return to the back hall, thought about it, and said to Li Daozong: "I'm afraid you will also have to go to the letter." Now it is Uncle Shentong who is in charge of the Jingshi army, you have to go back and persuade him. In case something happens to Xuanba, I'm afraid Li Xin really wants my Li family to bury him for him. ”
"Yes. yes, I'll go. Only then did Li Daozong react, hurriedly walked out of the hall, rode a war horse, and led his soldiers to rush to Xindu.
Xindu City, Li Xuanba came with great fanfare this time, with a thousand elite soldiers behind him, and under the banner of a messenger, he came slowly, Yu Zhining, Wei Zheng and others had already gotten the news. It's just that when Li Xuanba arrived outside the Xindu City, he still hadn't decided how to deal with the matter.
In the East Palace, Yu Zhining and others gathered together, but the atmosphere in the hall was extremely weird, and the faces of the colleagues who talked and laughed in the past were not good-looking, Yu Zhining and Wei Zheng sat at the top, and Wang Jue, Dugu Huaien and others sat on the side.
"Li Xuanba came as an envoy, his heart is not pure, I am afraid he is here to provoke the relationship between the father and son of the monarch and the minister, I think, such a person should be killed, and he must not be allowed to mess with the heart of the monarch and the minister of Xindu." Yu Zhining said coldly.
Of course he knew that Li Xuanba was coming at this time, what was the so-called matter, what made Yu Zhining a little worried was that Li Xuanba came with such fanfare, and no one in the states and counties along the way stopped him, not even to deliver the letter, which shows the problem, many officials in Dazhao have lost confidence in Li Zhao, which is a bad phenomenon, which makes Yu Zhining even more frightened in his heart.
"Li Xuanba is not only Li Tang's envoy, but also the emperor's son, why, can't the son of the son want to see his father?" Dugu Huaien snorted coldly.
He and Wang Jue glanced at each other, the general trend of the world has been decided, and if you want to die and struggle, that is your Li Shimin's business, and these people have nothing to do with it, everyone has a small family, Li Shimin and Li Xin have a hatred for taking their wives, but they are enemies of life and death, if you want to die, you can't drag these people.
"Lord Wei, Li Xuanba has already arrived outside the city gate, why, he only brought a thousand cavalry with him, and I believe that there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the capital, why don't you even dare to open the city gate? Isn't it too timid. Wang Jue said with a smile: "I want to meet Li Xuanba, what do you want to do this time?" ”
"Then open the door?" Wei Zheng glanced at everyone, his face was a little complicated, and he sighed. He sighed in his heart, and to this day, the hearts of the entire Da Zhao people have been scattered. No one is powerless to return to heaven, so there will be Dugu Huaien and Wang Qi and others.
"Why, haven't you come up with any results yet?" A sarcastic voice came, but he saw Pei Lin walking in lazily, glanced at everyone, and said disdainfully: "Everyone, the emperor has issued an order to summon Li Xuanba to see the royal garden, why, I don't know if you want to act according to the order?" ”
"Since the emperor has issued an order, it is natural to act according to the order." Yu Zhining glanced at Pei Yuan dissatisfied, Li Xuanba came, Yu Zhining has not told Li Yuan yet, Li Yuan lives in the deep palace, and no one tells him that no one will be bored to tell Li Yuan if he gets rid of Pei Lian.
"That's naturally good, that's naturally good, this world is still Your Majesty's." Pei Lin laughed, looking proud, he glanced at everyone, just to tell everyone that this news was what he told Li Yuan. What if the people knew? The overall situation has been decided, and the future of these people is worse than their own.
"Hmph, villain Dezhi, see how you will do in the future?" Yu Zhining was annoyed in his heart.
Li Xuanba stood quietly under the city of Xindu, the city gate in front of him was closed, and behind him was the son of the housekeeper of the Yin State Mansion and the son of the Du family, called Du Zhongyong, very brave.
"Uncle, these guys are too hateful, my uncle has been here for two days, and he still doesn't let us in, I think they are afraid of my uncle." Du Zhongyong looked behind him, a thousand elites were standing behind, ready to go, I am afraid that only Li Xuanba could stand here so openly.
"Hugh should be presumptuous." Li Xuanba frowned, looking at the city wall in front of him, he had never been here, the world has changed, he came this time, he actually came with a different identity, it is really a great irony.
"Father, I'm afraid you didn't expect that your waste son would be today! I don't know what kind of mentality you have when you see me! Li Xuanba looked at the Xindu City in front of him, compared with Luoyang, Chang'an, Xindu did not have the capital of a capital city at all.
At this time, the Xindu City Gate slowly called, and I saw a team of Wenchen generals appearing one after another, in front of them was a thin middle-aged man with an elegant expression, Li Xuanba knew that the other party was Li Yuan's friend Pei Lian.
"Pei Lin has seen Yin Guogong." Pei Lin saw Li Xuanba riding on a horse, and there was no displeasure on his face, but he laughed and greeted him, and saw that Yu Zhining and the others behind him had a look of disdain.
"Master Pei, Xuanba is polite, I don't know when His Majesty the Emperor Da Zhao is going to see me, you know, if I wait here for a day, you Da Zhao will lose more soldiers, and the emperor will be very unhappy in his heart." Li Xuanba looked at the north faintly, and didn't even get down the war horse, Yu Zhining, Wei Zheng and the others who were angry turned blue and clenched their fists, but there was no way, who let them be in a weak position in front of Li Xuanba?
"Duke Yin, the emperor is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden!" Pei Lin whispered: "Xuanba! In private, I also watched you grow up, there are some things that the Li family was sorry for before, but after all, it is a family, the father is the son, even His Majesty has not sent the ancestor of the Li family to the Fengxian Hall now? Your father is getting older, and he sees some things. ”
"I know what Uncle Shi said." Li Xuanba's face moved, he also nodded and sighed in a low voice, and said, "As long as he goes to Chang'an, I believe that my brother-in-law will definitely take good care of him." The brother-in-law is not a ruthless person, at least, better than Li Shimin. ”
"Okay, okay." Pei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xuanba said this, which shows that Li Yuan's life is saved, Li Yuan can save his life, and his own people are even more useless.
Li Xuanba finally entered Xindu, and the people of Xindu had obviously noticed Li Xuanba's arrival, and they came to watch it one after another, and there were many words of praise in their mouths, or they despised Li Shimin, and talked about jealousy and meritocracy, Yu Zhining and others were red in anger but did not dare to speak.
"Uncle!" Outside the palace, Du Zhongyong called out to Li Xuanba.
"Don't worry." Li Xuanba shook his head, a chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, he was not a fool, he knew from everyone's faces just now that not everyone wanted to be martyred for Li Shimin, and even Li Yuan himself had the heart to surrender. There was no problem at all to get in on your own. (To be continued.) )
