Chapter 321: The Great Treacherous Loyalty
The rebellion of the King of Qi was quickly quelled, and it was said that it was under Li Xin's power to turn the tide, or that it was under the alliance of the Guanlong family and the Guandong family, that the dream of Yang Yong, the king of Qi, was shattered in front of the Qianyang Palace. Of course, the biggest credit in this is not Yuwen Chengdu, which came in time, but Li Xin. This young man killed countless enemies in front of the Qianyang Palace, wearing more than a dozen arrows, although he was protected by armor, although he avoided important parts, he was still seriously injured, covered in blood, and looked extremely terrifying. By the end of the war, Li Xin was still standing in front of the main hall with the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and the surrounding enemies were already piled up.
Yang Guang was frightened, but he hurriedly ordered someone to put Li Xin in the palace to cultivate, whether it was Princess Nanyang or Princess Yuerong, they all came to take care of Li Xin. The imperial doctor in the palace did not dare to slack off, and guarded Li Xin's side day and night.
On the third day, Li Xin, who was seriously injured, woke up, but there was a beautiful woman beside him, Li Xin looked over, but it was Princess Nanyang, he said with a little embarrassment: "Why is the princess here?" ”
"You wake up." Princess Nanyang didn't use powder, and there was still a trace of haggard on her face, but as soon as she saw Li Xin wake up, the smile on her face became more, and she asked people to find the imperial doctor, and said: "You saved your father, and this palace should take care of you." The palace maids are not very sharp with their hands and feet, what if something happens? Princess Nanyang said that there was a strange look on her face.
"King Qi, how is King Qi?" Li Xin hesitated for a while and said.
"He was killed in the midst of the chaos." Princess Nanyang hesitated for a while before saying softly.
Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, and soon understood that Yang Yun was not killed in the chaotic army, but was killed by the Guan Long family in the chaotic army, and the Guan Long family colluded with Yang Hui, the king of Qi, and constantly dug up the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty, such a thing cannot be known by Yang Guang, even if Yang Guang knows it now. But there is no evidence, Yang Guang can only be helpless, and as a rebellious King of Qi will die sooner or later, according to Yang Guang's mood, a person like King Qi will not end well. It's just that poor King Qi died more unjustly.
"Father is going to go to Jiangnan in half a month." Princess Nanyang suddenly said again.
"So fast?" Li Xin was startled all of a sudden, and was about to sit down, but found a pain in his body, and couldn't help but sigh, and lay down again, and the frightened Princess Nanyang screamed.
"The prince of the country must not be moved lightly." At this time, several imperial doctors walked in in a panic. An old imperial doctor also took Li Xin's pulse, and finally said: "Although Guogong's injury is not critical, but he has lost too much blood and can't exercise too much, and within half a year, it is impossible for Guogong to go into battle and fight." In the past six months, it is best for the prince to rest more, and he can't be tired. Otherwise, it may affect the foundation of the national government in the future. The lower officials and others prescribe some prescriptions for the general, and they think it will be better soon. ”
"Can you do a long journey?" Li Xin suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly asked.
"It's okay to be short-range. But don't travel long distances, or you'll lose your vitality. The old imperial doctor hurriedly said.
"It's a pity that I can't accompany Your Majesty to Jiangnan." Li Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still let out a long sigh on the surface. The words are very regretful. In fact, Li Xin knows his body, and it looks very strict, in fact, it takes half a year to heal, and ten days and half a month are almost fine. It's just that he doesn't want to go to the place where he must die, so that's why it's like this.
"Cheng Yuan is good to be born in Luoyang to recuperate, Jiangnan should go back in the future!" A loud voice came. saw Yang Guang, Empress Xiao, and Princess Yuerong walking in with a team of people. To Li Xin's surprise, although Yang Guang's voice was loud, his face looked much older, which showed how big Yang Guang's attack was against him.
"Your Majesty." When Li Xin saw Yang Guang coming, he was about to struggle to get up, and as soon as his body moved, he saw that there was already a trace of bright red on his shoulder.
"You, you'd better lie down!" Princess Nanyang's beautiful eyes turned red, and she didn't care about Yang Guang and Empress Xiao beside her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and put Li Xin on the bed again.
Yang Guang and Empress Xiao glanced at each other, and at this time they rarely did not speak, but a little boy next to Princess Yuerong was rolling his eyes, looking at Yiqi in front of him curiously.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the minister can't accompany His Majesty to Jiangnan." Li Xin looked at Yang Guang with a wry smile and said.
"Cheng Yuan, it's still important to have a body, the emperor can expect you to continue to serve the country in the future!" Empress Xiao looked at the wound on Li Xin's body, and sighed: "I have to thank you that day, if it weren't for you, hey!" As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Guang on the side.
"Hmph, that son of a, don't mention him." Yang Guang snorted coldly, he didn't want to mention King Yang Yi at this time, but looked at Li Xin and said: "Cheng Yuan, if you save me this time, it is equivalent to saving the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui, and say, whatever reward you want, I am willing, even if I canonize you as King Liang, it's okay." Princess Nanyang and the others suddenly turned pale, tearing the earth and sealing the king, this kind of thing has never been done in the Sui Dynasty.
"The minister was originally a martial artist, he lived a full meal and a hungry meal in Shouyang, and was promoted by the emperor, and now he is the position of the national prince, the general of the Shangzhu country, even if the minister is desperate for his life, I am afraid it will be difficult to repay His Majesty, not to mention, His Majesty is in difficulty, if the courtier does not contribute, is it still called a courtier? Guarding the emperor is what the ministers should do, and it should not be so. Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile and said. But there is a disdain in my heart, can I really tear the earth and seal the king? Can you believe the words of His Majesty the Emperor?
"Okay, good, the world is so big, how many courtiers like you can have?" Yang Guang sighed, and finally said: "Since you don't want a reward, then I will reward your son!" You are now the Duke of Liangguo, then canonize him as the Marquis of Jincheng. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although this Marquis of Jincheng is only an honorary one, and at most he receives some more rice, but how old Li Chengzong is, he is already a marquis, which shows Yang Guang's trust in Li Xin.
"It's enough for you to be a prince, but it's a pity that you're too young, and it's not good for you to be crowned king at this time." Yang Guang shook his head and said: "I can only canonize you as a marquis, and when you make a contribution in the future, I will reward you!" ”
Li Xinzhong moved, and suddenly glanced around, Xiao Hou quickly found out, waved his hand, and said to everyone: "Nanyang, Yuerong and Xiao Dong'er, since we have seen Liang Guogong, let's go!" Especially you, Nanyang, you haven't rested for two days. ”
"Yes, you all stand down!" Yang Guang also found that Li Xin was afraid that he had something to tell him, and he also saw Princess Nanyang's haggard appearance, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he quickly asked Empress Xiao to lead everyone to retreat.
"Your Majesty, the minister is actually guilty." After everyone left, Li Xincai smiled bitterly: "Actually, when I was in Juxian, the king of Qi once asked the ministers to support the usurpation, and said that after the matter was completed, he would be the king of Liang, in charge of Liangzhou, and the hereditary replacement. ”
"You, what's wrong with you?" After Yang Guang heard this, he suddenly jumped up, and was about to shout and scold, but when he saw the wry smile on Li Xin's face, he suddenly understood, what this young man thought in his heart, Yang Guang originally had some suspicions about Li Xin, if Li Xin said this kind of thing again, Yang Guang would probably be even more suspicious of Li Xin's purpose. You must know that Yang Yong is Yang Guang's only adult prince now, if nothing else, this throne will be Yang Yong's sooner or later. What is the reason why Li Xin said these words? How could Yang Guang not be angry.
"Li Xin is just a courtier, how can he separate the emperor's family affection?" Li Xin smiled bitterly: "And the minister is more worried about the Guanlong family, King Qi said that the people of the Guanlong family have already supported him." Once the minister says it, won't it startle the snake? ”
Yang Guang sighed when he heard this, and said, "Li Xin, you have been wronged. The hateful Guan Long family, they just want to grasp the power of the imperial court, so they will let Yang Yin be fooled and force me to agree to their conditions. In fact, what he didn't know was Li Xin or hiding it from him, at least he didn't say that there was another Yu Wenhua who accompanied Yang Jun to find him.
"Your Majesty, the Guan Long family has a lot of power, and they must not mess around, when the minister is in the northwest, he wants to store more grain for the northwest, and disperse the excessive population of the Central Plains to the vast northwest, so that the empire can completely control the northwest. That's because the big families often hide the population, the emperor, my ministers don't understand, how difficult is it to do something? Li Xin was even ashamed of his hypocrisy at this time, he ran the northwest by himself, of course, for the sake of the Great Sui, but more importantly, for himself, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, before the chaos, let his strength grow to a certain extent, at least not to weaken Li Yuan too much.
"The northwest is still your northwest, and it was originally intended for you to go south with me, but now it seems that the affairs of the northwest are very important, you can't stay in Jingshi, and when you are healed, go back to the northwest!" Yang Guang finally relented, Li Xin was seriously injured this time, and he was also paid an unimaginable amount, and in a short period of time, Yang Guang was still the new Li Xin.
"Your Majesty." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you can, it's better to go back to Luoyang as much as possible." Although Luoyang is the place of four wars, this place is the junction of Kanto and Guanzhong, no matter how powerful the Guanlong family is, there are people who can compete with it after all. ”
"Well, I will consider what you said, your injuries are very serious, so let's rest more! When I have time, I will naturally come to visit you. Yang Guang nodded, stood up, and said with a somewhat tired expression.
"Congratulations to the emperor." Li Xin sent Yang Guang away with mixed feelings, he knew that Yang Guang would not listen to him, but he didn't know why, Li Xin's heart was still a little unbearable. (To be continued......)
