Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 402 Yuan Junzhang's Choice

Yuan Xiaozheng has a weak temperament. Facing his father's scolding, he used to be obedient, but today he speaks out and resists, which makes Yuan Junzhang even more furious.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a person's personality to change.

But under special circumstances, or in the face of desperation, or in the face of temptation, or under the call of idols, they can take completely opposite actions from usual.

If you explain it, the Yuan family is in a desperate situation... This is Li Shan's detailed analysis in his letter.

Yuan Xiaozheng was also subjected to endless temptations... Li Shan made a swearing promise in the letter.

As for idol summoning... In Yuan Xiaozheng's mind, Li Shanna, who wrote "Humble Room Inscription", is definitely a super idol.

So, after Yuan Junzhang reprimanded his son and walked away, Yuan Xiaozheng calmly wrote a letter in the study and got up and left.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yuan Junzhang came quickly, picked up the letter with a dark face, kicked over the table after a while, and roared: "Li Huairen, how dare you do this?!"

After tearing up the letter paper, Yuan Junzhang, who was full of anger, went straight out of the mansion, led his personal guards out of the city quickly, and galloped eastward.

"It is unfilial to be unable to serve your father."

"But filial piety can be divided into big and small, and small filial piety is hard to compare with big filial piety."

"Continuing the incense and passing it on to the heirs is a great filial piety."

"In today's situation, Turkic civil strife, Li Tang has repeatedly recruited, the eldest brother is in an accident, the younger brother is young, the child is not here for himself, but for the Shuozhou Yuan family."

These words flashed in Yuan Junzhang's mind one by one. He never expected that the second son, who had always been dull, would dare to abandon them... and even came up with such a reasonable reason.

The fast horse was galloping, and within half an hour, more than a hundred riders were seen from a distance. Yuan Junzhang was relieved at first, but then cursed secretly... How could Erlang escape to Yanmen Pass in such a short time? Be firm in your will and make your position clear.

Want to get it with your ass, it should be Li Huairen's means from the beginning to the end!

Three or four hundred riders met each other on the left, Yuan Xiaozheng had even dismounted from his horse, and bowed to greet him by the side of the road, Yuan Junzhang sent his guards away, and unceremoniously lashed his son's shoulder with a whip.

"Since I was a child, I have not been able to become a martial artist, and my thoughts are shallow, and I have no city." Yuan Junzhang sneered: "What you say today, what you do today... Hehe, you have found a good master!"

"Although the boy is dull, he also knows that Master Li wants something." Yuan Xiaozheng said calmly, "But what Master Li said, is it true?"

"Liu Wuzhou is a good example, Turkic civil strife, Shuo and Yun prefectures have exhausted their grain reserves, people have left, and soldiers have fled. If there is no Master Li, they can barely support them. But now that Master Li has made a move, my father should know that there is no room for it."

"At this moment, my father is hesitant, and his elbows..."

"Shut up!" Yuan Junzhang, with a livid face, whipped the whip again, but this time the force was much weaker.

After pacing back and forth for a long time, Yuan Junzhang pulled his face and asked in a low voice, "What did Li Huairen say?"

Yuan Xiaozheng was a little confused, "Father means..."

"Li Huairen used all kinds of means to gather money through business routes, and to attract people with land grants, and he took you, a good disciple." Yuan Junzhang sneered, "His plans are nothing more than the two."

"One for X, one for Mayi."

At this moment, Yuan Junzhang sighed in his heart. It took more than a month to conquer Mayi this time, and almost exhausted everything in Shuozhou and Yunzhou, but it may not be completely useless...at least he and Ma The city is one, and after all, it has some weight when negotiating.

Therefore, Yuan Junzhang is asking for a price... Li Huairen has been tossing you for so long and resorted to so many tricks to accept you as an apprentice, so it's impossible that he hasn't made an offer yet, right?
Seeing that his son was still ignorant, Yuan Junzhang had no choice but to break up the words and speak clearly.

Yuan Xiaozheng hesitated and said: "Master Li mentioned it once, the Emperor Tang is kind..."

Yuan Junzhang sneered, he was from Hedong back then, and Daizhou was not far from Taiyuan Mansion. He knew Li Yuan in his early years... This is a kind man, don't be kidding!
In the pre-Sui period, Li Yuan was unsuccessful for a long time, and was once teased by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and was called "Grandma", but Yuan Junzhang knew that Li Yuan's methods were cruel.

During the Daye period, Li Yuan wiped out civil unrest, built corpses in Beijing, and those who heard it were terrified, and later ascended the throne as emperor. The actions of Tuxia County can stop the children from the east of the river from crying at night, and more importantly, most of the heads of the Tang forces were beheaded by him. This list is not short... This is where Yuan Junzhang is most hesitant.

"go on."

"Yomo Jue was made the Duke of the state, and worshiped the governor of Yizhou." Yuan Xiaozheng coughed twice, "Maybe Shuozhou...but you can also choose another place."

For Yuan Junzhang himself, he still has not given up... From a rational analysis, he himself knows that there is no hope, but from an emotional point of view, or his choice largely comes from his desire for power, he still hopes Can control Shuozhou.

In another place, you may be able to live in peace, but when a man is alive, he must not be powerless!

Yuan Junzhang looked up to the east with a gloomy face, "I heard that the meritorious officials of Yuanmou in Taiyuan will all be given iron coupons."

"what?"

"You don't understand, but Li Huairen definitely understands." Yuan Junzhang pointed to Dongfang, "Disguise and enter the Yanmen Pass. If Li Huairen agrees, you will go straight to Chang'an to meet the Tang Emperor."

Yuan Xiaozheng was surprised, it was so easy to decide?
I just performed a play of running eastward according to Master Li's instructions, but in the end I really went to Chang'an to have an audience with Emperor Tang?

Yuan Junzhang probably knew his son's stupidity, so he told him bluntly: "Even if the Emperor Tang doesn't allow it, you don't have to go back to Shuozhou again."

After a pause, Yuan Junzhang sighed, "Actually, what you said was right... No, it was Li Huairen who said it well."

"Ma Yiyuan's family, always leave a legacy incense."

Watching the back of his son Yiyi leaving, Yuan Junzhang thought of Gao Manzheng, who was almost wiped out half a month ago... As early as the last battle in Mayi, Gao Manzheng sent his eldest son and second son to Chang'an. Also had to prepare for this move.

The next day, inside Yanmen Pass, Li Shan clicked his tongue, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Mr. Yuan didn't ask you to ask the sage for iron coupons."

Yuan Xiaozheng asked lately: "Father said that the Yuanmou heroes are too far away..."

"Iron coupons for avoiding death." Li Shan explained: "There are 17 people in total. Except for the serious crime of treason, they are allowed to die once or three times."

"However, the iron certificate for avoiding death can only be given by a sage, how can a courtier have the qualifications to ask for it?"

"Let alone talk about conditions."

"Master Li, then father..." Yuan Xiaozheng became a little anxious, "but I'm afraid father won't..."

"Don't worry." Li Shan wrote lightly: "Yuan Gong knows that being a teacher is valued by saints, and his intention is to let him play secretly."

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Tomorrow, I will send the guards back to Beijing for the teacher, and you will set off with them."

"In addition, there are a few more things to ask."

Yuan Xiaozheng was overjoyed and prostrated himself on the ground, "Students listen to Master Li's instruction."

Li Shan said with a smile: "First, it is not involved in court disputes. Now in Chang'an City, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin are vying for the heir."

"Secondly, after entering Beijing, everything will be arranged by Su Dingfang."

"Thirdly, when a sage asks a question, he can be mentioned as a teacher. There is no need to sing praises, just tell the truth."

Yuan Xiaozheng responded one by one, and asked softly: "Master Li, do you need to visit Duke Qiao?"

Li Shan shook his head slightly, and added after a moment of silence: "Bring a few good horses to Beijing, and choose one to give to Duke Yi."

Duke Yi is Guo Zihe, who was given the surname Li by Li Yuan. He should be called Li Zihe. He is the best one among the leaders of the Tang forces.

Yuan Xiaozheng represents Yuan Junzhang's attitude, and wants to make his position clear, imitating Li Zihe is the best choice... because Li Zihe occupied Yunzhou in the early years.
