Chapter 165 Two Urgent Matters
Within ten days, Li Yuan led the army to victory.
Guanyin had heard yesterday that Li Shimin was about to return to Jinyang in the afternoon. With excitement, she waited for Li Shimin, who had been away from home for many days.
Guanyin, who usually doesn't pay much attention to dressing up, carefully dresses up today and dresses herself up, and she asks Lu Zheng from time to time to find out where the bandit army of the class master is.
------
Just after noon, the civil and military officials who stayed in Taiyuan went to the outside of the city to greet them. When the time came, Lu Zheng reported to Guanyin that the army had arrived at the west gate of Jinyang City.
After entering the city, Li Yuan and the others entered the hall of the official office with the officials who greeted them, and after another half an hour, Li Shimin returned to the backyard of the official office.
Li Shimin returned victoriously and was supposed to celebrate with Guanyin, but as soon as he arrived in Jinyang, he heard two unpleasant news.
Just now in the hall of the official office, Gao Junya, who stayed in Jinyang, reported to Li Yuan that first, the Turks had committed border fortresses again, and second, Liu Wenjing was imprisoned in Taiyuan County Prison because of his marriage to Li Mi.
------
After Li Yuan had last defeated the Turks in Mayi, he led his troops back to Jinyang.
When Shibi Khan heard that Li Yuan had returned to Taiyuan County, he saw that Mayi was isolated and helpless, and attacked Mayi several times.
Ma Yi was too guarded by Wang Rengong and had no choice but to ask Li Yuan for help.
After Wu Yalang received the report from Gao Junya, it happened that Li Yuan led his troops out to suppress the bandits, and he didn't dare to decide whether to send troops to rescue him, so he had to wait for Li Yuan to come back and make a cut.
On the day of Li Yuan's triumph with his army, Gao Junya reported to Li Yuan about Wang Rengong's request for help.
The military situation was urgent, and Li Yuan was afraid that he would be charged with not saving him, so he decided on the spot to select another 2,000 cavalry, led by Gao Junya, to immediately rush to the aid of Mayi.
------
The second thing Gao Junya reported to Li Yuan was that Jinyang County had ordered Liu Wenjing to marry Li Mi, and he had been imprisoned in Taiyuan County Prison.
Someone reported to Gao Junya, saying that Liu Wenjing's sister married Li Mi as his wife, and Li Mi rebelled in Gongdi, which was a major crime of rebellion.
According to the Great Sui's "Kaihuang Law", the great rebel plotted the rebel, the father and son and the brothers were all beheaded, and the family had no officials. It is said that Liu Wenjing should not be sitting. But when Yang Xuangan rebelled, Yang Guang issued an edict to punish Yang Xuangan's nine clans.
Gao Junya is not sure whether Liu Wenjing is guilty or innocent, but she is afraid that she will be charged with conniving with the suspect, so she will be imprisoned for the crime.
------
The so-called nine clans are: the three clans of the father, the three clans of the mother, and the three clans of the wife.
Li Mi's wife is Liu Wenjing's sister, and Liu Wenjing is among Li Mi's "three wives".
If Yang Guang also disposes of Li Mi like Yang Xuangan, then Liu Wenjing will inevitably be.
The current situation is that according to the Great Sui "Kaihuang Law" Liu Wenjing is not guilty, and according to the way Yang Xuangan is handled, Liu Wenjing is guilty.
Li Yuan had heard Gao Junya's report, and he did not say anything about Liu Wenjing's matter, but only said that he would be detained in Taiyuan Prison for the time being, and he would talk about it later.
------
Li Shimin was very anxious when he heard that Liu Wenjing was being imprisoned in Taiyuan County Prison and wanted to intercede with Li Yuan, but he couldn't speak in front of the civil and military officials of Taiyuan County.
He wanted to wait for the civil and military officials to disperse and find his father Li Yuan to say, but Li Yuan did not go back to the backyard of the official office, and went straight to the other courtyard where the concubine Mo Lifang was raised.
Li Shimin was unhappy, but he couldn't complain about his father, so he returned to the small courtyard where he lived sullenly.
------
Guanyin came out to greet Li Shimin with joy, but saw that the smile on his face was a little reluctant, as if there was something in his heart, and she was not easy to ask outside the house, so the two said hello and returned to the main room.
Guanyin was also calm, and she didn't ask Li Shimin what was going on in his heart, so she let Hsinchu and Zhanhua wait for Li Shimin to bathe and change clothes.
After bathing and changing clothes, Li Shimin sat on the kang, and Guanyin arranged Hsinchu and Zhanhua to do other things. She sat down beside Li Shimin and asked sweetly, "Brother Shimin, are you unhappy about something?"
------
After being separated for many days and just coming back, it should have been a time when the husband and wife were in love, and Li Shimin didn't want Guanyin to be upset by Liu Wenjing's affairs.
He stretched out his hand to hold Guanyin, let her lean into his arms, turned his face to look at Guanyin's eyes, and asked her affectionately, "You tell the truth to my brother, have you missed me these days after I left?"
Guanyin greasy stuck to Li Shimin's body, and said coquettishly, "No."
Li Shimin kissed Guanyin's sideburns, held her soft little hand, and said with a smile, "I must be lying."
------
The fire was burning in the house, full of warmth, and Li Shimin's gentle kiss made Guanyin's heart hit like a deer, and her face flushed.
She wanted to get closer to Li Shimin, hoping that the two could hug each other tightly, and even more expecting Brother Shimin to lean over and give her an affectionate kiss, but how could she say such a request?
Seeing that Li Shimin was worried, Guanyin gently pushed Li Shimin away, sat up straight, cut her hair, collected her mind, looked at Li Shimin sensibly, and complained softly in her voice, "I obviously have something in my heart, but I have been holding it in my heart."
Li Shimin saw that he couldn't hide Guanyin's maid, so he had to tell her, "Liu Wenjing was sent to Taiyuan Prison."
Guanyin was also taken aback, and asked Li Shimin, "Is it because of Li Mi's matter?" It seems that what he feared before has become a reality."
Li Shimin didn't speak, and nodded slightly.
------
Li Shimin moved his body and looked at Guanyin,
"I feel that raising troops is imminent, but this is happening at this time."
Guanyin saw Li Shi's anxious appearance, she wanted to understand the current situation, so she said to Li Shimin,
"Brother Shimin, I don't go out of the gate of the official office all day, and I don't know what the current situation is? Can you tell me about it?"
Li Shimin sighed, "The demise of the Great Sui is inevitable, Yang Guang left the people of the world and went to Jiangdu, but he doesn't care if it is already in chaos today."
------
Then, Li Shimin went through chaos for several days, and the current situation is:
Three emperors. Lin Shihong raised troops in Yuzhang, and Liu Yuanjin raised troops in Jin'an, both claiming to be emperors; Zhu Cang raised troops in Nanyang and was known as the Emperor of Chu.
Seven people are called kings. Li Zitong raised troops in Hailing and was known as the king of Chu; Shao Jianghai occupied Qizhou and was known as the king of Xinping; Guo Zihe raised troops in Yulin, known as the king of Yongle; Dou Jiande raised troops in the river and was known as the king of Changle; Wang Xuba raised troops in the area of Heng and Ding, known as the king of Mantian; Wang Hua raised troops in Xin'an, and Du Fuwei raised troops in Huainan, both known as King Wu;
Eight people occupy states and counties and set up their own names. Li Mi raised troops in Gongdi and was known as the Duke of Wei; Wang Deren raised troops in Yedi and was known as the Taigong; Zuo Caixiang raised troops in Qi County, known as Boshan Gong; Luo Yi occupies Youzhou, Zuo Nandang occupies Jingzhou, and Feng Ang occupies Gao Luo, all known as the governor; Meng Haigong occupied Caozhou and was known as the record; Zhou Wenju occupied Huaiyang and was known as the Willow Leaf Army;
The others occupy states and counties, and there are no less than twenty people who claim to be righteous.
The grass fell into the grass, and the rebels who gathered in the mountains, forests and rivers were countless.
------
After Li Shimin finished talking about the chaos in the world, he looked worried, "If the heroes rise together today, if nothing happens, I may lose the opportunity."
Guanyin didn't think so, she comforted Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, can one of these people you mentioned just now control the military and political power of the five counties?"
Li Shimin filtered the people he just said one by one in his heart, shook his head and said, "There is no one who has the strength to match Grandpa."
Guanyin said calmly, "I don't think it's too anxious to raise troops, the key is to run the five counties of Shanxi well and prepare for the incident. As long as we win the hearts and minds of the military and the people, we can make a decision at any time when to do so."
"If we can bring the hearts of the army and the people back to Grandpa, although there is no incident, it is better than an incident."
"If you think about it carefully, what are the things you need to do beforehand, and if you can't prepare, you have to make up for them one by one in advance."
-----
Listening to Guanyin's words, Li Shimin fell into deep thought, he thought about it again and again, and then said,
"If you do something now, what I am most afraid of is that other counties will receive Yang Guang's edict and bring troops to attack Taiyuan County. These include the other four counties of the five counties of Shanxi, as well as the counties around Shanxi."
"This is to first firmly control the five counties of Shanxi, and when the counties around Shanxi are also in chaos, then the surrounding counties are too busy to take care of themselves, where is the strength to attack Shanxi? That's when it's time to do something."
------
Guanyin nodded in agreement, "So, after the chaos around Shanxi, it is a good opportunity to raise troops."
"During this period, we must win the hearts of the army and the people of the five counties of Shanxi, and when the hearts of the army and the people return, there will be a response to the incident."
"Of course, among these five counties, the most important is Taiyuan County, and it is necessary to ensure that these civil and military officials are absolutely loyal to Grandpa. You have to sift through them one by one."
"Brother Shimin needs to seriously consider what to do now, you must have a priority in mind."
------
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "I think there are two things to do at the moment. The first is to persuade Grandpa to agree to our secret preparation. Second, it is necessary to screen civil and military officials and distinguish between friend and foe."
He then explained to Guanyin why he had made these two things a priority.
"We used to hide everything from Grandpa, but when we entered the full preparations, many things had to be approved by Grandpa. Therefore, we must persuade Grandpa to agree to our comprehensive preparations."
"The second is that we have been in Jinyang for too short a time, and we have limited understanding of the civil and military officials in Taiyuan, Liu Wenjing knows the Jinyang officialdom best, and we must rely on him to screen the civil and military officials in Jinyang. That's why I was so anxious when I heard that he was in prison."
------
Guanyin also thought that these two things were the most important at the moment, so she persuaded Li Shimin, "Then you should first find a way to rescue Liu Wenjing from prison, and then find an opportunity to persuade Grandpa."
In this way, Li Shimin and Guanyin agreed on the most urgent thing to do in front of them, and only by doing these two things well first, can they enter the stage of preparing for the launch.
------
Li Shimin was already impatient, and decided to go to Taiyuan County Prison that night to visit Liu Wenjing. The purpose of his doing this was to make Liu Wenjing feel that Li Shimin valued him.
When he went to visit him in prison on the day he returned to Jinyang, Liu Wenjing must have felt Li Shimin's sincerity.
Li Shimin asked Guanyin to prepare some wine and food, he wanted to take him to prison, and asked Lu Zheng to call Duan Zhixuan; Let Duan Zhixuan persuade Duan Yanshi, the father of Ren Taiyuan County Judicial Scrivener, to be accommodating.
With Duan Yanshi's permission, Li Shimin was able to visit Liu Wenjing in prison at night.
------
Li Shimin was making people prepare, but he was worried at the same time, now it is nine cold days, dripping into ice, and I don't know if Liu Wenjing can withstand the pain of prison?
He wanted to take the opportunity to see if Liu Wenjing was a strong-willed person.
