At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 439
Chang'an, Tang Guogong's mansion.

Li Shimin's right hand clenched his fist tightly to the back of his waist while pacing back and forth. At this moment, there was a flame in his heart that was eager to try, as if it would burst into a burning fire at any moment.

There were four other people in the hall, two of them were dressed as scribes, one was in his thirties, with a calm demeanor, he was Fang Xuanling, and the other was in his early forties, with a long beard, and looked very refined Ruya, his name is Liu Wenjing, his name is Zhaoren, and he is from Wugong County, Jingzhao County. Because of his relationship with Li Mi, he was once arrested and imprisoned by the magistrate. One of Li Shimin's disciples.

Liu Wenjing is a well-educated person who has been in the officialdom. He used to be the magistrate of Jinyang County. Gaodi and Wei Taizu are first-class figures, although they are young, they have the talents of heaven."

Li Shimin once chatted with Liu Wenjing to make a big deal, and felt that this person could conspire with big things, so he spared no effort to rescue him from prison. Fortunately, Liu Wenjing was only locked in the prison of the local county government. It's not the same, last time in order to save Fang Xuanling, he still used the fake death medicine, and this was how he got away with it.

There were two other people outside the hall, dressed in strong clothes, they were obviously martial arts practitioners, they were Hou Junji and Liu Hongji.Speaking of which, the last time Hou Junji failed to assassinate Gao Bufan, Li Shimin arranged for Hou Junji and Qi Hongji to escape back to Changhui secretly. For more than a year, the two have been active in Chang'an, making friends with people from all walks of life and attracting talents for Li Shimin. At the same time, secretly organized and trained private armed forces. Now there are 2000 people under his command. These people are usually scattered in various manors under Tang Guogong's name, using the status of Zhuang Ding or servants as a cover. As long as Li Shimin gives an order, these people will Can assemble quickly.

"Erlang, now Yang Guang is trapped in Yanmen City. It's a rare opportunity. Hurry up and do it. If you delay, you will lose the opportunity." Hou Junji said excitedly.

Liu Hongji was also gearing up, and echoed: "Junji is right. Now that the time, location, and people are all ready, as long as Erlang gives an order, we will immediately take down the capital with internal and external cooperation, and then we will ascend to the top in the name of Tang Guogong." , there must be a gathering of responders, the land in Guanzhong is at your fingertips, and then rectify the troops and horses to advance eastward, capture the eastern capital Luoyang in one fell swoop, set the central plains, and sooner or later the world will be in your pocket."

Li Shimin was also very excited when he heard the words, but since he experienced the life setback of his eldest grandson Wugou's "transferring love", he has become more mature and stable, and he was not immediately dazed. His eyes looked at Fang Xuan Ling and Wen Jing are his literary advisers, while Hou Junji and Liu Hongji are his right-hand men. Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing are responsible for making suggestions, while Hou Junji and Liu Hongji are responsible for implementing them. The division of labor is very clear.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Liu, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked politely.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Hou Ji and Hongji are right, now is indeed a good opportunity, but Erlang, don't forget, Tang Guogong is also driving in Yanmen now, if something happens at this time, it will undoubtedly lead to your father's death."

Li Shimin was immediately doused with a bucket of cold water!
Liu Wenjing also shook her head and said: "The opportunity is indeed rare, but the time is not yet ripe. The king is still there. If you do something, it will be dishonest. It is disloyalty. It is the death of the father. It is not filial piety. The name of righteousness will not survive." , it's hard to do!"

Li Shimin broke into a cold sweat when he heard the words, and was completely awake. He quickly bowed to Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing and said, "Thanks to the reminder from the two gentlemen, Shimin was almost confused."

Hou Junji and Liu Hongji looked at each other in disappointment, and thought to themselves, it really is a rebellion by a scholar, and it won't work in ten years, these scholars are really hypocritical, they want to be whores, but also want to set up a memorial archway, how can there be such a good thing in the world?How can you be so timid?His grandma, missed such a great opportunity for nothing.

Just at this time, a close aide came in to report: "Erlang, Daochang Li and Daochang Yuan are asking to see you outside."

Li Shimin's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Please!"

Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing looked at each other, they both stood up and said, "I'll avoid it for a while."

"You two gentlemen have been wronged." Li Shimin nodded, Fang and Liu are both shady, and cannot see outsiders blatantly for the time being.

Not long after Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing hid behind the screen, two Taoist priests were ushered in. One of them looked strange, with tall and broad forehead bones, like a birthday star. , it was Li Chunfeng.

"Shimin has seen two priests." Li Shimin hastily stepped forward and said politely.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng returned the ceremony for the first time and took their seats. The former took a look at Li Shimin, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled and said, "Erlang looks good today. Pindao just counted on his fingers. Erlang must have a happy event in the near future."

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Where does the joy come from?"

Yuan Tiangang pretended to be mysterious and authentic: "Happy to know, and the poor will not reveal the secret for the time being."

Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a light smile: "Maybe Shimin should go for a walk on the street, I think he can pick up gold and silver."

Yuan Tiangang laughed, and said with a pun: "Erlang, there is no need to worry. As the saying goes, good things take time, and sometimes fate must have it. What should be yours is yours. If it is not yours, you can't force it."

Hou Junji laughed and said, "Don't play tricks, Daoist Yuan, just leak some secrets, and we don't need to think about it."

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said nothing, Liu Hongji said sarcastically: "Daozhang Yuan came here today to play the game, but Daochang Li is here to play the autumn wind?"

Li Shimin's expression darkened, and he reprimanded: "Hongji, don't be rude!"

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng didn't seem to take it seriously, the latter even stroked his beard and smiled and said, "What brother Liu said is right, Pindao's visit this time is indeed to fight the autumn breeze."

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "The same is true for the poor. Recently, I traveled with Brother Li Dao in Guanzhong. I ran out of money in my pocket, so I had the cheek to go to Erlang to ask for some money to spend."

Li Shimin laughed boldly when he heard the words: "Naturally, there is no problem. It is Shimin's honor for the two Taoist priests to find Shimin. Come here, and get ten gold for each of the two Taoist priests."

"Immeasurable Daoist!" Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng shook their whisks and chanted their Daoist name at the same time.

Soon, someone came out with two gold ingots on trays, five taels each, and presented them to Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. As if I picked up a penny on the ground.

"The two Taoist priests sit down for a while, Shimin has ordered people to prepare drinks and dishes." Li Shimin smiled.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "No need, thank you Erlang for your kindness, the two of you, Pindao, have to hurry." Then they stood up.

Liu Hongji and Hou Junji couldn't help but rolled their eyes. They were so shameless that they patted their buttocks and left after taking money from the door.

Li Shimin looked calm, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then don't delay the two Taoist priests, Shimin will send the two Taoist priests out."

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng looked at each other, the former stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No, a happy event is coming."

Li Shimin looked around in a daze, and asked puzzledly, "Where is the joy?"

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "Erlang is not what he used to be, isn't it a happy event?"

Only then did Li Shimin suddenly understand that the happy event Yuan Tiangang talked about turned out to be his own transformation, and said with a wry smile: "So that's the case."

Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "In the past, Erlang was very energetic, but he lost his stability a little bit. He was like a beautiful jade with blemishes. Now he has cut the sinews and washed the marrow, and removed the chaff and kept the essence. He is already a flawless and beautiful jade. Congratulations!"

Li Shimin was also secretly happy when he heard the words, and quickly said: "The Taoist priest is wrong, and the people of the world are ashamed. By the way, now the emperor is trapped in Yanmen, and my father is also among them. The people of the world are worried and can't sleep at night. Can you ask Taoist Yuan?" Divinate a hexagram to determine good or bad."

Yuan Guanggang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Poverty Taoism is shallow, and the good and bad of the emperor and emperor can be predicted by poor Taoism. Erlang should ask Daoist Li to ask the sky."

Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "Erlang don't need to worry, the emperor and your father will turn danger into good fortune this time."

Li Shimin's mood was contradictory, he hoped that Yang Guang was fine, and also hoped that his father Li Yuan was fine, he hurriedly asked, "Why do you see that?"

Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "Pindao and Brother Yuan Dao watched the stars at night in August last year. At that time, they happened to guard their hearts, and the emperor's star showed signs of moving north. At that time, Pindao asserted that the emperor would be robbed somewhere in the north of Luoyang. Now it is true. The fulfillment is not good, recently Pindao looked at the stars again at night, and found that Yinghuo Shouxin is about to end, and the emperor star has signs of moving south."

Li Shimin blurted out: "That is to say, the emperor will return to the south safe and sound this time?"

Li Chunfeng nodded approvingly and said: "As Erlang said, since the emperor is fine, your father will be safe too."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little disappointed.

Li Chunfeng glanced at Li Shimin, cupped his hands and said, "Poverty Dao and Brother Yuan Dao have to go on their way, so we bid farewell."

Yuan Tiangang pinched his fingers quickly, and said to himself: "It is not appropriate to use swords these days, remember to remember!"

While Li Shimin was stunned, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng had drifted away.

Seeing Yuan and Li leaving, Fang Xuanling and Liu Wenjing turned out from behind the screen, their expressions were uncertain, and Hou Jijun and Liu Hongji were similar, because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, two bull noses, appeared with pinched noses, as if for the purpose of Dissuading Erlang not to make trouble at this time seems to be too wicked. Could it be that the two of them are really gods?
Li Shimin let out a long breath, and said indifferently: "The emperor's blessings are as good as the sky, it seems that this time the danger will be turned into good luck, the world is very lucky!"

Fang Xuanling also said solemnly: "The emperor calls on the people of the world to work hard for the king. Erlang's family is deeply indebted to the emperor. At this time, it is time to organize people to rush to Yanmen to rescue him."

Li Shimin nodded: "Mr. Fang's words are true, Hongji, immediately send an invitation card in my name, calling on the Guanzhong scholars to gather their hands and rush to Yanmen King Qin to rescue him."
