Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 878 Luo Su, Li Yuan, and Li Shimin clearly see their own nature!

Chapter 878 Luo Su, Li Yuan, and Li Shimin clearly see their own nature!

Luo Su came to Chang'an because of the big events that were about to happen. Many things in this world have traces to follow. Luo Xuanye was transferred, just like this.

Luo Su wants to meet Li Yuan.

He has not seen Li Yuan for many years.

At the end of everything, he was ready to give Li Yuan a chance, a chance to choose.

……

Li Shimin was unwilling to go to war with the Turks.

Li Yuanji was eyeing him internally, and the political instability of the Tang Dynasty was external. He was in internal and external difficulties, and he was unwilling to fight the menacing Turks.

He borrowed his good personal relationship with Tuli Khan and took advantage of the rift between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan to go to the meeting alone and successfully made the Turks retreat before the Turks.

Without spending a single soldier, there were no casualties, and only gold, silver, and cloth were paid to allow the Turks to return north.

This is undoubtedly another victory for Li Shimin, but for Li Yuanji and the prince, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Li Shimin even knew that Li Yuanji was really planning to make some small moves. He had an inside agent in Li Yuanji's house that no one expected. This inside agent would never pass on false news.

Li Shimin was his son, and he valued family ties, so he forcibly restrained himself. Otherwise, according to his decisiveness in killing Li Jing and Dou Jiande, he would have taken action long ago.

That is the concern for family members and friends, and the willingness to go out of their way to protect their friends.

Duke Wen once said with a smile that it would be better to give you a nickname called "Er Feng" from now on. It sounds so nice. I hope you will spread your wings all over the world and cheer up all the world. "

After thousands of miles away, I will return to your side. I will hold the spear and you will hold the bow. We will create the final victory again.

I have to say that Li Yuan and Li Shimin really have a deep relationship.

As soon as Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he received news like a bolt from the blue. Luo Xuanye was actually sent to Lingnan by the emperor!

To him, it was like breaking an arm.

You must understand why I was transferred to Lingnan. This may be a completely unpredictable future.

Li Yuan was very happy when he heard this. He was a little drunk, and suddenly felt that it was not impossible for the prince and the King of Qin to live in peace, and now they looked like brothers.

Without the emperor's order, he left Lingnan Road without authorization and returned to Chang'an to participate in a coup. If Li Shimin failed, Luo Xuanye would die.

Li Yuan rejected Li Shimin's request without hesitation. Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "This time, the King of Qin has made great contributions to the safety of our Tang Dynasty. I am very happy. The Crown Princess has prepared a banquet for the King of Qin in the palace. Father, our Li family has the King of Qin. This is a blessing for the Li family."

But if you really have an idea, send me a letter.

My son is really capable.

But he never looked back.

We have never been separated since the beginning of Jinyang's army. This is the first time, but it is not the last time. I don't know if you will make it to the end.

From this letter, Li Shimin seemed to be able to see Luo Xuanye sitting at his desk with the lamp on, meditating on what to write. Finally, he gave up those words of advice and only wrote the most important things deep in his heart.

Li Yuan smiled dizzyly and said: "Between you brothers, feelings are more important than anything else. The founding of our Tang Dynasty is father and son, brothers, in-laws, and old friends. Don't forget these things."

Do you still remember that piece "Ode to Wei Feng"?

"Good good."

For Li Yuan, the retreat of the Turks was undoubtedly something to be happy about. His previous anger towards Li Shimin had dissipated, and he became a kind father and a filial son.

Li Shimin put the letter in his arms with tears in his eyes. After thinking about it, he decided to burn it. This letter was not good for Luo Xuanye.

His temper also became sensitive and suspicious, like every old king who fears death.

I leave this letter. When you open it, you must have won victory over the Turks. I believe you will always win.

I'm willing to risk everything.

Moreover, there are always people around Li Yuan. Before Li Shimin came back, he had already said in front of him, "The King of Qin was already arrogant because of his great achievements and lost the awe of his ministers. Now that he has made great achievements, he must be even more lawless." ”

He was young, fashionable and accomplished, but now that he is old and coaxed by women and courtiers, he basically has no opinions of his own.

The celebration banquet ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. Li Shimin returned to the Prince of Qin's Mansion in a carriage, and then he received a letter from Luo Xuanye.

Li Yuan said this, and the prince and the King of Qin did not completely break up. The prince held a celebration banquet for Li Shimin. No matter what, Li Shimin had no reason not to go, unless Li Shimin was ready to flip the table.

At Li Shimin’s celebration banquet, he asked Li Yuan: “Your Majesty, why is it worth letting Duke Zhou go to Lingnan?

Although the Turks retreated this time, I believe that these Turks will come back at any time. Zhou Guogong is our number one general in the Tang Dynasty. He is unparalleled in the world in attacking forts. In the future, Zhou Guogong will be indispensable for charging into battle.

But everyone knew that Li Shimin had to go.

After getting Luo Xuanye back, Li Shimin would feel more confident no matter what happened, but Li Yuan's determination could not be changed so easily.

As long as Li Shimin writes a letter, Luo Xuanye is willing to come back.

Li Yuan is old.

You are the first person I have ever met who dares to use the phoenix as a metaphor for himself in front of Luo Shi and Wen Gong Ancestor.

“Seeing a letter is like seeing a face.

There was nothing critical in the letter, but this letter was like a clear spring pouring into Li Shimin's heart. He was an extremely powerful person and a person in great need of spiritual strength.

"Thank you very much, Prince and Princess. I will prepare to go to the banquet."

You are the Erlang who can help the world and bring peace to the people. I am waiting for you thousands of miles away.

"Prince Qin, I will accompany you."

I think that the Duke of Zhou should be recalled. As for Lingnan, the kings of Huai'an, Juyang, Hejian and other clans are all talented and can take charge of their own affairs. They are also close relatives of my Li family, so I think they are all qualified for the job. "

Everyone in the Qin Palace was opposed to Li Shimin going to the East Palace for a banquet. It would be fine if it was just Li Jiancheng, but with that lunatic Li Yuanji around, what if he directly attacks Li Shimin.

Luo Xuanling was not only the commander of the guards of Prince Qin's palace, but also Li Shimin's personal guard. He decided to follow Li Shimin to avoid any accidents and he could escape with Prince Qin.

In the East Palace, even if Li Yuanji made small moves, he would not dare to be too unscrupulous. After all, Li Jiancheng was not a fool.

In this worried atmosphere, Li Shimin entered the East Palace for a banquet.

……

Almost no one thought that Luo Su would be here in the palace. Li Yuan looked at Duke Wen in front of him, with a complicated expression on his face, and a hint of joy.

"Please also ask Duke Wen to teach me."

Li Yuan only said these four words. He knew that there was no need for him to say anything in a long speech. Wen Gong knew what he wanted to know.

Luo Su looked at Li Yuan with a smile and sighed secretly, this founding king is really...

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was five thousand miles from Chang'an to the Western Regions, and another five thousand miles from Chang'an to Liaodong, but the Han Dynasty was able to rule such a vast land. Do you know why?"

Before Li Yuan could speak, Luo Su said: "Because the Han Dynasty did not actually rule the Western Regions. It was governed by the Protectorate of the Western Regions, which is equivalent to another political center. The same is true for Liaodong. There is a Protectorate of Liaodong. There is a political center in Jicheng, which suppresses Liaodong.

You have been the emperor for so many years, and you should have felt that it is impossible for the imperial court to directly rule the states and counties. You only have less than five hours a day to deal with government affairs, and it is too late to just listen to the reports of local conditions from the governors of two hundred states. , not to mention countless other matters.

So you set up Dao on the state, just like the Han Dynasty set up the state on the county. This is the inevitable outcome. You also know that this will reduce your power. After all, you don’t give power to the people below you. It is impossible for them to manage the local area. "

Li Yuan always knew that Duke Wen was extremely clear about the nature of political rights. He listened quietly, and Luo Su turned to say: "Now the Tang Dynasty has basically unified the Central Plains, but have you ever thought about the Tang Dynasty in the future?

The vast Liaodong, Hetao, grassland and Western Regions, or even larger territories and territories, where do you think the political center can be set up to take care of it?

You said that when you conquer Liaodong, you will also do the same as Emperor Yang of Sui?"

Li Yuan vaguely seemed to understand what Duke Wen wanted to say. Such a big Tang Dynasty, and perhaps a bigger Tang Dynasty in the future, could not be managed by one person.

But can they really coexist?

Luo Su smiled again and said: "Did King Qin go to the East Palace today? Emperor, how dare you let King Qin go to the East Palace? Or do you really not care about King Qin in your heart?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan was like a beast that was stimulated, and his hairs trembled almost instantly. He stared at Luo Su closely, and asked nervously: "Mr. Wen, what did you say?"

Luo Su put away his smile and left the palace, saying as he walked: "Why do you need to ask me?"

Li Yuan felt his eyes darken. He didn't want Li Jiancheng to step down like that, but that didn't mean he could tolerate Li Shimin being hurt!

He didn't want to see brothers fighting each other, so he immediately sent people to the East Palace.

……

Li Jiancheng naturally did not dare to let Li Shimin die in the East Palace, so the poison he added to the wine was very slight. It might cause Li Shimin physical harm, but it would not kill him directly.

Luo Xuanling felt the cramping pain in his stomach and shouted in a low voice: "King Qin, this wine is indeed poisonous, but the poison will not cause death immediately. We must leave immediately and leave here, otherwise we will not be able to leave."

There was also a trace of blood at the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and he left here on the pretext that he was too drunk. Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji knew that they had succeeded, but they could not stop them, so they allowed Li Shimin to leave. As soon as they left the East Palace, Li Shimin and Luo Xuanling vomited at the same time. After taking a sip of blood, Li Shimin got on the carriage, and the two leaned together, "Qingyu, thanks to you, if I drink it all..."

Luo Xuanling estimated that he would be bedridden for several months at worst. This was because Li Shimin was in good health. If he was in poor health, such as Li Jiancheng, he might die soon.

What happened in the East Palace was naturally not concealed under Li Yuan's deliberate investigation. A long time ago, a decree was issued, "The King of Qin is too drunk, and he is not allowed to entertain the King of Qin for drinking in the future."

This decree was almost nakedly directed at the prince, which made Li Jiancheng worried for a long time, but when he saw that Li Yuan did not pursue the matter any further, he gradually felt relieved.

He didn't know how disappointed Li Yuan was with him. The dispute between the two sons had reached a life-and-death situation. One framed the prince for rebellion, and the other actually poisoned the wine. Li Yuan knew that if he didn't deal with it, he would really be in trouble. It's irreversible.

He recalled Luo Su's various hints to him, thought about it, and summoned Li Shimin into the palace.

Li Shimin had basically despaired of Li Yuan. Li Yuan had not punished Li Jiancheng until now, and now he summoned him into the palace.

Li Shimin knelt in the hall, and a slightly dim light shone on his face through the window, with uncertain brightness and darkness.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Yuan didn't expect Li Shimin to say such a sentence directly. He looked at Li Shimin's face, his heart softened, and he sighed: "Erlang, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Shimin kowtowed first, with a look of recollection on his face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am your son.

Over the years, I have been fighting for the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know why I am doing more and more wrong, and the more I do, the more disgusting my father is.

The people of the people, the people of the people, the people of the world, the people of the world.

This is the name you changed for me, Father! Now that your son really has the ability to help the world and bring peace to the people, why are you so unhappy?

When we were in Jinyang, my son rescued you from the tens of thousands of soldiers, and we, father and son, went into battle together. At that time, you praised me as Li's Kirin.

Later, my son performed meritorious services again and again. Father, you praised your son and said that you would make me the prince and that I had the greatest contribution in establishing the Tang Dynasty. I was very happy.

Because you are my father, after my mother died, you were the closest person to me in this world.

You often say that the Tang Dynasty was conquered by the soldiers of our father and son, and was built by our old relatives and friends. At first, we were able to share adversity together, but now that the Tang Dynasty has been established, you have become the emperor and received the destiny, why are we alienated? ?

My mother passed away early and was not able to see this scene today. I am often sad about this. How sad would my mother be if she saw the father and son brothers reach this stage?

I went to the East Palace for a banquet, but ended up being poisoned and left. The King of Chu framed me many times. This is not the way to treat a brother.

Father, don’t you know who I am?

I have never taken the initiative to target the King of Chu and the Prince. Isn’t this enough?

What exactly do I need to do to make myself safe?

The meritorious service I established for the Tang Dynasty has now become a sharp arrow shot at me, but it has become my reminder. Father, is this my fault? "

As he spoke, Li Shimin burst into tears. He cried but the expression on his face became more determined, "Father, this is not the ending I want, this is not the ending I deserve!"

Li Yuan felt more and more guilty as he listened. He had indeed treated his second son a lot wrong. He stepped forward and hugged Li Shimin. Li Shimin was a little surprised, and he also hugged Li Yuan with his backhand. The father and son hugged each other and cried in the hall. .

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Erlang, you can't stay in Chang'an anymore. Go to Luoyang. Don't come back again. Not meeting each other may be the best ending."

Li Shimin came today just to express his feelings. He had basically made up his mind, but he didn't expect this unexpected gain today.

"Father."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "You go to Luoyang, you go to build the emperor's palace, use the emperor's etiquette and utensils, except that Zhu Xiazi can't give them to you, you will also be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

In the future, the Tang Dynasty had one emperor and two emperors, one in Chang'an and one in Luoyang.

Your empire will be based on the area of ​​Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province.

When you become emperor in Luoyang, you will be responsible for conquering Liaodong and cooperating with Chang'an to conquer the Winter Turks. Can you do it? "

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Yuan's words. Two emperors in one country?

During the troubled times, Zhuxia once had five emperors. Although they were five countries, it seemed that the problem was not that big. The emperors still had to obey the orders of the emperor, at least in name.

Going to Luoyang to build the emperor's palace was a great thing. Li Shimin would be stupid not to agree. As long as he goes to Luoyang, he will be invincible.

He almost immediately said: "Father, my son is naturally willing, but the only worry is that he will never be able to see his father again."

Li Yuan stroked Li Shimin's head and said softly: "Luoyang is only a thousand miles away from Chang'an. I will visit you in the future. As long as you brothers can live in harmony, I will be relieved."

……

After Luo Su left the palace, Luo Xuanxing asked: "Ancestor, did you hint in the palace that the emperor would divide the Tang Dynasty into two parts?

Are Chang'an and Luoyang too close? Will there be any problems if they are so separated? "

Luo Su was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "According to my plan, a political center will eventually have problems, but why should it be divided according to Chang'an and Luoyang?

These two political centers are so close that they can basically be counted as one.

Judging from the current Tang Dynasty, the best thing is to seal Li Jiancheng to Hebei, let him fight against the Liaodong Kingdom, establish the Eastern Datang Empire, and then Li Shimin go all the way north and west to create supreme achievements. "

Luo Xuanxing looked a little unhappy and said, "Ancestor, I think you should make it clear to the emperor."

When Luo Su heard this, he glanced at Luo Xuanxing, and then said calmly: "I only give you choices, not answers. Even if I tell him the answer, Li Yuan will have problems.

This is the biggest problem with unexceptional kings.

Li Yuan will deduce an answer by himself. He has been able to get the answer countless times, but in the end he abandoned it. Will he change this time? "

Luo Xuanxing knew as soon as he heard that Luo Su was not optimistic, "Then why did we enter the palace?"

Luo Su smiled and said: "Li Yuan should be given a choice. It can be regarded as a fate that we met in the first place. And I have a hunch that this will be an important thing in the future."

Luo Xuanxing asked again: "You said you wanted King Qin to refine his heart. How do you think he is doing now?"

Luosu's voice was erratic, seeming far away but also close, "He has made up his mind, and there is only one reason left for him to reasonably forgive himself. Even now, he is still waiting for this reason. I really like this more and more." My child, a king who can control himself and be reasonable is truly a great blessing to the world!”

……

Li Shimin left the palace with excitement on his face. Luo Xuanling was waiting outside the car. When he saw Li Shimin appear, he immediately came up to him and whispered: "King Qin, our ancestors have been here before."

Li Shimin was shocked, looked around quickly, and then asked in a low voice: "You mean, the palace?"

Luo Xuanling nodded and said with great certainty: "Yes, it's the imperial palace. Our ancestors have been there before."

Li Shimin immediately knew why Li Yuan summoned him and why he asked him to go to Luoyang. It turned out that it was Duke Wen who came here and met his father.

When Li Shimin returned to the Qin Palace and informed the generals of the Qin Palace about this, almost everyone was extremely excited. He was the real emperor.

Even if he is not the emperor, the emperor can already make kings, dukes and marquises. Isn't this the head of the country in the Zhou Dynasty who has full independent power.

The most important thing is that I can finally leave the quagmire of Chang'an.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "It's no need to delay. Let's clean up the matter quickly. When the decree is announced, we will leave immediately to avoid any accidents."

Everyone knows that this matter is too outrageous, and something may happen. The prince and the King of Chu will never agree. There have been several incidents in the past that were messed up by the prince and the King of Chu together with the concubine. This time it is very serious. The same thing may happen.

Li Shimin knew this very well. He looked at the clear moon and felt extremely determined in his heart. He had many arrangements in Chang'an City. If he could not go to Luoyang this time, he...

Big brother, fourth brother, let me go to Luoyang.

Let me go to Luoyang.

Perhaps hearing Li Shimin's thoughts, the two of them said at the same time: No!

When they just learned that Li Yuan wanted Li Shimin to go to Luoyang, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji almost fainted from fright. Li Yuanji did not give Li Jiancheng any face and said: "Brother, Chang'an is our territory, and the King of Qin can still fight us here." There is no distinction between superior and inferior. If King Qin goes to Luoyang, what will we do?

That would be like a tiger entering the mountains and a dragon soaring across the sea, which can no longer be restrained. If our father, Emperor Bintian, goes to war in the future, we will definitely not be the opponent of King Qin. "

As if he felt that his tone was not strong enough, Li Yuanji said it again, and said seriously: "We are definitely not the opponent of King Qin!"

"I know!"

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Yuanji a little unhappy, did he have to say that?

Li Shimin was the God of War of the Tang Dynasty. Except for Li Jing, who could beat 400,000 with 10,000, everyone else had followed Li Shimin to pick up records. Li Shimin's prestige in the army was not overshadowed. Li Jiancheng was very worried about the consequences of his orders. The army surrendered to Li Shimin.

"We must not let King Qin go to Luoyang. We go to the palace to beg our father. Isn't he worried about the battle between Chang'an and Luoyang?

Isn't he worried that the world that has just been peaceful will ignite war again?

Isn't he worried about us two brothers?

Go find Zhang Jieyu, Concubine Yin De, and Pei Ji. My father is old and can easily change his mind. As long as we describe the future in a more miserable way, our father will be on our side. "

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji knew this very well. In the past years, the two of them had the upper hand because Li Yuan was too indecisive and too soft-eared, so he could not make up his mind to make Li Shimin the prince.

……

Except for Li Yuan himself, almost everyone has a clear understanding of Li Yuan and knows who he is, and almost everyone can control his actions.

The emperor has supreme power and his orders are absolute, but can he really use this power?

Not necessarily!

Those who are close to the emperor can steal the power that belongs to the emperor as long as they can manipulate the emperor. Li Yuan once again handed over his power to Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei.

Li Shimin's trip to Luoyang was urgently stopped. When he learned the news, Li Shimin didn't feel anything. He just looked up at the sky and sighed slightly, how could the world have come to this point after all?

He wanted to find Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, but these two people had already left the Qin Palace.

The next step is to transfer all the generals from the Qin Palace and kill them one by one. It is normal for people to die in a war. Li Shimin can even think of the methods of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

He waited quietly, knowing what he was waiting for.

There was endless pain in his heart, but he was also unusually calm. Now he wanted to see what his good brother was going to do to him.

Is there any unexpected tricks? If not, it would be too boring.

"Mr. Wen, is this what you want me to experience? Is my current choice the right one?

It must be, because I feel extremely peaceful now, and I will be the righteous person. "

……

On an afternoon when the clouds were overcast and a heavy rain was about to pour, a carriage rushed from outside Chang'an, carrying a little dust, and then directly entered the palace of Prince Qin.

The car curtain opened, and a tall man walked out, extremely handsome, it was Luo Xuanye!

Li Shimin hugged him directly, tears fell and he said nothing. Luo Xuanye also patted Li Shimin on the back.

It seemed to be in response to the original sentence.

Even though I am thousands of miles away, as long as you send me a letter, I will come back!

This is my promise!

----

The number of people who give Xuanye every year is twice as high as that of the princes. There are officials who report it, but they are not in harmony with the etiquette.

Shangnai said: "The princes of Zhou County are loyal to the country, which is rare since ancient times, so I love them."

The palace then said to the ministers: "The king of Zhou County is extremely talented, his etiquette, music, archery, and imperial skills are all exquisite. His virtues and virtues are so beautiful that I cannot express them. How come he is so popular in the world and how can people know about him?"

After the court meeting, the superior said with emotion: "When I was in Qiandi, the King of Zhou County said: 'Thousands of miles away, if you have a word, I will return it!'

I miss it deeply.

I really know it's inappropriate, but my mind is at this point and I can't control it.

There is nothing wrong with what you have played. I will give it to you in front of my private treasury. You must not play it again. "

People at that time said to Xuan Ye, "Why doesn't the prince say goodbye?"

Xuan Yezheng said: "Your Majesty gave it to me in memory of the old friendship. I also miss it. There are many people in the world who have this thought. It's a blessing. Why say it?"

But it's just a matter of loyalty to His Majesty. "

If you are happy, you will stop. If the favor is old, it will become more and more prosperous. ——"Book of Tang·The Family of Wang Xuanye of Zhou County"
