Chapter 497: The Black Dragon is Born
Chapter 497
"Prime Minister, Li Yuan is about to come to the Bird Mouse Valley, I'm afraid it's not just for the Prime Minister, but more importantly, for Li Shimin, Li Shimin resisted the decree and didn't respect it, and killed five servants who passed the decree in a row, if the Cui family told Li Zhao, I'm afraid Li Yuan wouldn't know yet? Li Yuan is here this time, I'm afraid he is going to attack Li Shimin, aren't we? Du Ruhui said in a low voice.
A defeated general travels to the land of Hebei, and can actually mix the wind and water, and the Hebei family is linked together, Dou Jiande can only follow behind and eat ashes, such a person is definitely not an ordinary person, Du Ruhui also understands how much Li Xin attaches importance to Li Shimin, in order to calculate him, he did not hesitate to attack Huoyi with an army of 100,000 and forced Li Shimin to return to the division, if not, I am afraid that the situation in Hebei will change dramatically in a month, and Dou Jiande's forces will be devastated.
"No, we have done too much, and Li Yuan will not deal with Li Shimin." Li Xin stood up, looked at the Bird Mouse Valley in the distance, and sneered: "Li Yuan is cunning and cunning, in his eyes before, what he wanted was the interests of the family, but now in his eyes, the main thing is the emperor's throne, for the emperor's throne, he has to canonize the crown prince to maintain the stability of the country, and after the canonization of the prince, he is afraid that the prince will divide power, so he supports Li Shimin, as the general of Tiance, and is above the kings, this time Li Shimin's power is too great, Li Yuan will definitely take away his military power, but he will definitely not kill Li Shimin, This will affect his reputation, and it will make Li Jiancheng's crown prince sit firmly and affect the stability of his throne. Therefore, it must be Li Shimin under house arrest, it would be better if we didn't make a move, if we did, Li Yuan might let Li Shimin go. ”
Although Li Xin's martial arts are extraordinary, his biggest point is that the amount of information in his mind is very rich, and in this position, he is more concerned about the emperor's mental technique, which Li Xin was not good at before. But now he has preliminarily mastered how to be a good emperor, it is nothing more than balance, he is like this, I believe that Li Yuan is the same, from Li Yuan's point of view, people like Li Shimin may have many shortcomings, but his ability is also very powerful, and he is his own son, who can balance the situation in the court. So Li Shimin must not die.
"Prime Minister, Jingshi is urgent."
This time. Duan Qi outside broke in, with a hint of joy on his face, he walked in and said loudly: "Prime Minister, the day before yesterday, a fisherman and a black dragon appeared by the Weishui side, Prime Minister, this is auspicious!" ”
"The black dragon was born, Prime Minister, this is auspicious!" After Du Ruhui listened. There was a different color in his eyes, but his face showed excitement, Li Xin was still black, and his armor was black. The armor of the other soldiers was black. Now that the black dragon is born, it is naturally auspicious for Li Xin, which means that Li Xin may have to go one step further and ascend the throne as emperor. Although Du Ruhui knows the root of this auspiciousness. But at this time, I was still very happy in my heart.
"Black Dragon?" The corners of Li Xin's mouth showed a hint of strangeness, and he took the information. After looking carefully, the letter was written by Pei Shiju, an old fellow, and it was written very vividly, as if he had seen this auspicious rui with his own eyes.
What is a Black Dragon? Although the Han people of the Central Plains are proud of being the descendants of the dragon, no one has ever seen a dragon, and the black dragon they are made does not know what it is, but Li Xin believes that there is absolutely no black dragon.
"Prime Minister, the birth of the black dragon means that the destiny of heaven is in the prime minister!" Du Ruyan explained in a low voice inadvertently.
"Forget it, don't talk about this matter for the time being, it's not time yet." Li Xin thought about it and shook his head and said. Everyone wants to be an emperor, but Li Xin knows that after becoming an emperor, he is not free, at least it is impossible to lead the army to fight, and after becoming an emperor, the enemy will pay attention to you, which is not good for the development of Guanzhong.
"Yes." When Du Ruhui saw Li Xin say this, he no longer persuaded Li Xin, and the ascension to the throne and proclaimed emperor was both good and bad for the nascent Guanzhong regime, at least, in the imperial court, there were still some people who had old feelings for the Sui Dynasty, and Li Xin's accession to the throne was tantamount to completely destroying their faith.
"Wang Shichong has been dishonest recently, his soldiers and horses have appeared under Hongnong City, tsk, I really think that this king rescued him because of Li Shimin, he also thinks too much of himself, and sends someone over to tell Wang Shichong, I will return to the army soon, let him be ready to go to Chang'an to meet the son of Yining, and he also wants to be the emperor in a place with a big palm, and he is not afraid of people's jokes." Li Xin threw the auspicious rui in his hand aside, and said disdainfully: "Li Yuan sent a messenger to fight against me, preparing to form an alliance with Wang Shichong, although Wang Shichong did not agree, but he still sent an army, what does he want to do?" It's just thinking about whether we can take advantage of the time when we are fighting with Li Yuan, he is picking up cheap on the side, where is this cheap so easy to pick up, if he wants to die, my 100,000 army will fulfill him. ”
"Yes." Du Ruhui also said: "Actually, in order to deal with the prime minister, Li Yuan not only sent people to persuade Wang Shichong, but also Xiao Miao. Otherwise, there would have been no attack on Kuizhou. ”
"Xiao Milling is good! If he doesn't make a move, this king really can't find a target to attack, as soon as he makes a move, after the spring ploughing, after Li Shimin goes into the wilderness, our first target of attack is Xiao Miao, destroy the south, get grain, grass and population, we have the opportunity to sweep the north, at that time, even if the Turks shoot, this king will not be afraid. "For Li Xin, there are two enemies in this era, one is Li Zhao, and the other is the Turks, and the power of 300,000 iron cavalry is not something that any country can resist. Even in history, Li Shimin spent a lot of effort to finally defeat the Turks.
It's just that although Li Xin suppressed the black dragon auspicious Rui here, but in Chang'an, it caused controversy in the world, Li Xin's thinking has exceeded this era, but others are not, the black dragon was born that is auspicious, and everyone thinks that Li Xin's era has come. Of course, there are also people who laugh at Li Xin, thinking that Li Xin is a wolf with ambition and a plot to seize the throne. Such a person is either a relict of the Sui Dynasty, or a person who wants to climb up with the help of Li Xin's shoulder.
In Li Xin's old mansion, an old man has an ugly face, and his eyes show a trace of cunning, his name is Zhang Yungu, a native of Xiangzhou Huanshui, sexually intelligent, well-read and well-read, good at embellishment, strong memory, and still has some reputation in Shilin, with the prosperity of Chang'an, Li Xin is eclectic and talented, and Zhang Yungu also came to Chang'an City.
Li Xin gave him the position of a clerk, not that this person has no talent, this person has talent, but unfortunately, he is loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty, so even if Li Xin wants to use it, he does not dare to reuse it, and the position of secretary can just give full play to his strengths. However, this person no longer stayed in his own mansion at this time, but came to Li Xinqian's mansion and met Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao is still the same as usual, peerless, the years have not left any traces on her, since following Li Xin, she also very simply accepted her fate, Li Xin came to live for one night every few days, and after the upside down, Empress Xiao gradually got used to it. In Chang'an City, she lives very comfortably, and she doesn't have to worry about one day, someone will invade Chang'an City and kill her.
The reason why Zhang Yungu was able to come was because Yang Tong, the king of Yue, came to the mansion early in the morning, his face was gloomy, and his eyes showed a fierce light, as if someone owed him.
"King Yue, what do you have to do to alarm the palace?" Empress Xiao sighed deeply through the bead curtain, she has been serving Yang Guang for many years, so she naturally knows the things in the palace, and she also knows what the king of Yue Yang Tong came to say? It's just that the general trend is like this, the Yang family is living on Li Xin's snort, if something happens again, I'm afraid that the Yang family's life will not be saved, and Yang Tong's death is dead, but what about Yang Yu? Yang Yu is very honest, I heard that soon, he will be married, at this time to make trouble, is Yang Tong not afraid of death?
"The Empress Dowager, now there are rumors outside, saying that the black dragon was born, and the Li family should be happy. Such a fallacy to confuse the public, if it is not dealt with, it will definitely affect the Great Sui River, and Sun Er believes that this matter must be corrected to its source and thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, my Great Sui will be in chaos. Yang Tong knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"The Empress Dowager, the minister seconded the proposal." Zhang Yungu also said loudly: "How can the rivers and mountains that Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu have fought down fall into the hands of rebellious ministers and thieves, and the ministers think that this matter should be thoroughly investigated." ”
"Thoroughly?" Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Yungu who was kneeling on the ground through the bead curtain, and there was a hint of murder in her eyes, she didn't care if these courtiers were fighting for power and profit, it was the case in any dynasty, but he should never involve Yang Tong in it, as long as anything involved in the royal family, it would eventually cause countless casualties, at this time, the most important thing for the Yang family is to lurk, to keep a low profile. Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Yungu, her eyes were full of a hint of murderous intent, this person instigated King Yue for his own position of power, that is damned, and said lightly at the moment: "Okay, then let Zhang Qing investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”
"Ahh Obey the order. Zhang Yungu was stunned at first, and soon there was a burst of joy, and when he was about to think about what certificate Empress Xiao would give, the bead curtain was rolled up, and two maids came out, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Yungu.
"King Yue, you come in with the palace." Empress Xiao's voice sounded, so that Zhang Yungu didn't know what to do, and when he reacted, he found that there was no one behind the bead curtain.
"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager."
"Please! Mr. Zhang. ”
Zhang Yungu was still about to speak, but was invited in by two maids, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, hesitated for a while, but still walked into the bead curtain behind, he didn't understand why Empress Xiao said such a thing, in his opinion, Zhang Yungu was a loyal minister, Empress Xiao should be exhorted, not like this, drive him out.
