Li Jiancheng still believed in this kind of thing after all, although this matter was mysterious and mysterious, but the old Taoist priest slowly disappeared in front of his eyes, except for the gods, he couldn't think of any other possibility, it must be something that is about to happen to the Li family, and the dream of wealth and health will also be affected, the fate is tragic, the old fairy really can't look past it, so he went down to warn himself, so he is not afraid of God's curse, vomiting blood and warning, Li Jiancheng does not dare not believe it, dare not disobey.
Li Jiancheng suddenly felt a sense of luck, he felt more and more that his previous behavior of worshipping the gods and Buddhas was correct, and even his own words were inseparable from Buddhism, although this time he came to save himself was a Taoist priest, which was enough to show that he was favored by the gods, since then he has been more pious, when he encounters the statue of the gods, he must dismount and walk, and then worship, express his piety, ask for the blessing of the gods, and give him guidance, he very much wants to see the old fairy again, but unfortunately, this is the first time they meet, and the last time they meet.
Although he felt a little sorry for Yun'er and Meng'er's mother and daughter, he resolutely decided to protect Yun'er and Meng'er, not to let anyone know their existence, and quietly hid somewhere else, his father and wife asked, and said that he would send them away, so as to protect the two mothers and daughters, no matter what happens in the future, he plans to protect their mother and daughter in this way, so that they can be rich and stable for a lifetime, not to mention their reputation, if it is really the emperor's family, the cruel palace battle, the young Li Jiancheng has not heard the legend of chasing the wind and catching shadows.
As for the emperor's house or something, Li Jiancheng still had some doubts, he didn't dare to completely believe that his Li family would rebel because of the words of the old Taoist priest, rebellion is a big deal, even if he has been dissatisfied with the emperor for a long time, but the so-called monarchy is mighty, an emperor whether he is mediocre or not. As long as he has been on the throne for a long time, he naturally has a sense of power, the kind of momentum that terrifies the people, there are not many people who dare to rebel, and there are not many people who have such determination, at least the young Li Jiancheng has not thought about rebellion.
But what happened next. But he mercilessly laughed at the young Li Jiancheng with unrealistic fantasies.
The heyday of the Sui Dynasty was not in the Kaihuang period, but in the seventh year of Yang Guang's reign, the seventh year of the Great Cause, at that time the Great Sui Dynasty was indeed strong and unmatched, but the emperor Yang Guang became more and more radical and paranoid, and the Great Sui Dynasty left by Yang Jian collapsed in the later period of the Great Cause, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo and the digging of the Grand Canal. Traveling south to Yangzhou, regardless of the actual situation, the ruling class fell apart by forcibly carrying out the imperial examination at high speed, and the big families and the common people of Li all stood on the opposite side of Yang Guang, and all of them had already settled.
In the fourteenth year of the great cause, the world was in turmoil, and Yang Guang saw the chaos in the Jiangnan Palace, and he was disheartened, so he no longer returned to Luoyang, the national capital. And the guards around him are all from Guanzhong, and they are homesick. Constantly absconding, in this context, Yu Wenhua and launched a mutiny, strangled Yang Guang, and the rule of the Great Sui Dynasty collapsed, although there was a symbolic meaning after Emperor Gong of Sui. But it was already a puppet, and the Sui Dynasty's thirty-eight years of short-lived unification actually came to an end.
The world is in turmoil, thirty-six anti-kings, seventy-two puffs of smoke and dust, although it is a fiction of romance. But it can also be roughly seen that the chaotic situation in the world at that time, the Sui lost its deer, the world chased it, the emperor died, lost the deterrent, the world was so big, there were more than one hundred and eight people who raised troops to make a rebellion? A man with a knife came out of a small village, gathered thirty or fifty people, and dared to call himself the king of grass, if this person returned to the beginning, he would be able to give birth to a sense that no one in the world would rebel.
The village tyrant still dares to call himself the king, so how can the nobles who are already of high status endure it? The Sui royal family was slaughtered, the last shock disappeared, the original strength of the world will not sit idly by, seeing the supreme position of the world fall into the hands of others, the Li family from the Northern and Southern Dynasties period is the successive ministers, the strength is strong, the contemporary patriarch Li Yuan is even more dissatisfied with Yang Guang for a long time, so, chose a suitable time, the Li family rebelled in Taiyuan, officially broke with the Yang family, and joined the anti-king team.
Since ancient times, the highlight of the change of dynasty has never been the elimination of the old dynasty, but the establishment of the new dynasty, the original alliance after the collapse of the old dynasty, the subsequent battle to unify the world, this is the highlight, the Chu and Han disputes, the Three Kingdoms melee, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, these famous examples show that the main force that overthrew the old dynasty, the battle for the throne between them is the battle that determines the direction of the entire nation.
The Sui Dynasty soon collapsed, after Yang Guang died, the emperor who held the real power was gone, Yang Guang did have eloquence, if it was not the Tang people who gave him the nickname, but the Sui people, maybe his nickname would not be "Yang", patting the sycophants would give a "Wu", and the pertinent one would give a "Zhang" or "Ping", and it would definitely not fall into a "Yang".
Yang Guang's failure was a failure in dealing with the problem in a hurry, impatient, did not know the step-by-step, only expected immediate results, he made the mistake that all reformers should not make the most, singled out the family, but did not know how to use the power of the people, but pushed the people to the side of the family, so he failed, lost all the hearts of the people, and the short and glorious prosperity of the Sui Dynasty was gone forever.
The Tang Dynasty was established in this context, when Emperor Li Yuan ascended the throne, the world has not yet been pacified, the grass creators of the Tang Dynasty still need to fight everywhere to eliminate all opponents and competitors, in this process, Li Jiancheng and his brother Li Shimin have made great contributions, in the Tang Dynasty dominated the world during the Wude years, Li Jiancheng's heart was shocked can be imagined, they Li really rebelled, and almost succeeded, their father became the emperor, he became the prince.
He was born in the house of the emperor......
That's really an old fairy, that's really an old fairy, only an old fairy can make such an accurate prediction, the old fairy must know his future, so he will warn himself like this, and tell himself that he must not let Meng'er's identity be known, so since Li Yuan decided to rebel, Li Jiancheng has made up his mind even more determined that children who are already known cannot be hidden, but unknown dreams can be hidden.
He can only quietly give Meng'er the title of the county lord of Yingmeng when the three of them are alone, only the daughter of the crown prince can be called the county lord, this is his privilege, but unfortunately, he can't make this title public.
Yingmeng slowly grew up and looked very cute. Very smart, Li Jiancheng changed into civilian clothes as soon as there was a gap and quietly came to the residence of the mother and daughter, accompanied by his beloved woman and daughter, his care for those children in the East Palace Cheng dù is far less than his care for Yingmeng, perhaps because of that adventure, he cares about this daughter very much. Even cares more than his eldest son.
He gave Xiao Meng'er a waist card, representing the identity of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and told him that if he encounters any danger in the future, show this waist card, as long as he is a person who knows words, he will not dare to covet her, this is the talisman given to you by his father, as long as you hold this waist card. No one dares to bully you, even if your father is no longer there, as long as you hold this waist card, your father will still protect you.
Xiao Meng'er believes like this, looks forward to it like this, longs for her father's gentle smile and her mother's gentle smile, she hopes that this moment is forever.
It wasn't until that bloody afternoon that the white-bearded Wang Lao rushed back to the house with a bloody body. Closing the door tightly, he took the mother and daughter to the underground storage room without saying a word. For three days and three nights, during these three days, Meng'er heard the figure of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and heard angry shouts, screams, and scolding. Every time the voice sounded, she would be terrified, she didn't know what was really going on, why it wasn't her father who came here, but a terrible person.
Three days later. The voice couldn't be heard, Wang Lao trembled and brought the mother and daughter out, he first went to look around, and then let the mother and daughter come out, and then, Wang Lao sat on the ground, weeping bitterly with tears, and told them, Li Jiancheng died, died in the hands of his brother Li Shimin, Li Shimin has become the prince, mastered the palace ban, Emperor Li Yuan was placed under house arrest, and soon, Li Shimin will be the emperor.
He risked death to come back, just to give them what Li Jiancheng had left for their mother and daughter, and then, his task was completed.
After Wang Lao finished speaking, he handed Xiao Meng'er a piece of jade to his mother and daughter, and fell to the ground, Xiao Meng'er knew that Wang Lao was seriously injured, and rushed back with his last breath, and fought with the belief that he didn't know where to survive the most difficult three days and three nights, his blood was about to run dry, Meng'er's mother cried bitterly, and didn't know how to continue to live, Xiao Meng'er looked at the jade and cried alone.
Maybe it was at that time that the seeds of hatred were planted in her heart, and she vowed to seek justice for her father, but at this time, she just wanted to seek justice for her father, and did not think about other deeper links, until three months later, her mother, who suffered a great blow, fell ill and finally died, leaving Xiao Meng'er alone, not knowing how to continue to exist in this world.
On the same day, the new emperor Li Shimin held a ceremony to celebrate his accession to the throne, and the entire Chang'an City fell into a sea of joy, Xiao Meng'er looked at the celebratory crowd alone, and dried her tears, that year, Xiao Meng'er was fourteen years old.
There is no endless road, this sentence is right, as long as you continue to walk, you can still survive after all, Xiao Meng'er is only left alone, the flame of revenge ignited in her heart, she took the jade and waist card given by her father and inadvertently put it together, and found out what her father left her, where she knew her father's deep love for herself and her mother, and it was at that time that the flame of revenge ignited her whole life.
Seeing her father's handwritten letter, as well as some top-secret information, it seems that Xiao Meng'er was born with such genes, she quickly understood a qiē, and also knew what she should do, her father left her not only love, but also money, she could have used the money to stabilize her life, but her father did not expect her mother to leave her after three months and go to find her father, Xiao Meng'er is no longer the original Xiao Meng'er, she vowed to take revenge and make Li Shimin pay the price of blood.
So she knew that it was almost impossible for a woman to accomplish such a thing, and those men could listen to her instructions? She needed a man who could command all her father's old ministry, so that there was a way, but the father's son ...... She doesn't know any of them, and she probably won't survive any of them, so what should she do?
She thought of her identity, the illegitimate daughter...... That's right, it's not good on the surface, then it's good in secret, anyway, no one knows the authenticity of the illegitimate child, maybe they don't know this person's savings at all, but with a waist card and jade, how can you not prove your identity?
Maybe it's really providence, Li Jiancheng didn't have an illegitimate child, but he had the most inconspicuous child born to a concubine, who was unknown at first and was not killed, but Li Shimin had no reason to let him go, so he naturally killed him together, but at that time, a begging teenager fainted at the door of Xiao Meng'er's house.
"Want to live? Then live for me! Xiao Meng'er said.
Xiao Meng'er knew that this person was definitely not Li Jiancheng's son, but she needed it, so Xiao Meng'er saved the dying boy, gave him food and drink, and when he said that he wanted to repay the favor, Xiao Meng'er said his request.
The boy didn't know what revenge was fatal, he only knew how to repay the kindness, to repay the kindness of the woman who saved his life, so he turned into an unknown illegitimate son of Li Jiancheng, and began to learn royal etiquette, learn royal knowledge, Xiao Meng'er's excellent knowledge reserves gave him a good education, and when Shi Haochen followed the clues left by Li Jiancheng to find them, they all started to operate according to Xiao Meng'er's plan.
