Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 43
A beggar's chicken was divided among five people, and there was nothing to eat at first, Li Shimin, the king of big appetite, was even more unsatisfied, so he clamored to go up the mountain tomorrow and bring back more pheasants.

Changsheng curled his lips, the pheasant in the mountains is actually very firewood, there is no oil and water, it will be dry after roasting, what is there to eat.

But seeing him and his eldest brother, he couldn't bear to hit them, so let them go.

Everyone chatted while eating, and went to rest after eating.

After waiting until Li Yuan and Changsheng were left in the room as usual.

Li Yuan let out a long sigh, and said first: "I received a letter from Beijing today, and after the fourth prince was deposed as a commoner, the rumors of 'Peaches and plums belong to the world.' 'The Yang family is destroyed, and the Li family is prosperous. When His Majesty heard it, Long Yan was furious."

He paused for a sip of tea, and continued: "First, 32 members of the minister Li Hun's family were killed, and then Li Mi, the Qianniuwei, was framed by others. Fortunately, Li Mi had a good relationship with Yang Su on a daily basis, and he won Yang Su's favor. Su wrote a letter to protect him from death, and also resigned to return to his hometown. Now everyone in the Li family in the capital is in danger. Thanks to you who persuaded me to write a letter to resign voluntarily, otherwise it will be in danger today."

Can it not be dangerous, that day when he received a secret letter from Beijing, someone told him that he had formed a party with the fourth prince Yang Liang, and he was so frightened that only six of his seven souls remained, and he immediately thought that it was the prince who wanted to kill him.

After careful questioning by Chang Sheng, it turned out that when Yang Guang was still the King of Jin, he and Li Yuan went south to conquer the Kingdom of Chen, and captured the two concubines of the Lord Chen and the second girl.

Yang Guang was lustful and wanted to keep it for himself, but was beheaded by Li Yuan privately, and thus he harbored resentment towards Li Yuan.

Only then did Changsheng understand why his father was so wary of him when he was in Daxing Capital City.

This time, Yang Guang took advantage of the issue and took advantage of the emperor's suspicion to slander the two for colluding with wrong intentions. This is a taboo in the royal family.

Fortunately, the ministers in Beijing and China were lucky enough to escape this time.

But Changsheng knew that Yang Guang was the later Sui Yang Emperor, and she didn't know anything else. She still knew the historical common sense of the three crusades against North Korea and the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

In her eyes, Yang Guang is a man of great ambition and talent, eager for quick success, extravagant and narrow-minded, and his father will take revenge sooner or later if he offends him.If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to retreat bravely, it is the best policy to protect yourself wisely.

Fade out of everyone's sight first, and then slowly figure it out. Anyway, with the blessing of Li Shimin, the son of destiny, and the deep foundation of Longxi, as long as he stays here and waits for the opportunity, he will definitely make a comeback.

Therefore, after Chen Ming became more powerful, he suggested that Li Yuan resign on his own initiative, and return to his hometown on the grounds that he was unwell.

Li Yuan thought about it and felt that his words were reasonable, so he immediately wrote to the emperor.

Now it seems that if he was still hesitant at that time, he would be implicated this time.

After Yang Guang was established as the prince, he was favored by the emperor because of his good performance.In addition, there are Yang Su, Zhang Heng, Yu Wenshu, and Guo Yan in Wu.A group of cronies control the six ministries, power is poured into the government and the public, and they try their best to suppress those who do not support the prince.

Since Queen Dugu was seriously ill, Yang Jian began to dote on Xuanhua, and the two wives of Ronghua gradually ignored the government affairs. Now seeing Li Yuan's memorial to ask him to resign and return to his hometown, his doubts were greatly reduced, so he approved it.

Seeing His Majesty's approval, Li Yuan also calmed down a little, and discussed with Chang Sheng about the next step.

Changsheng looked at his father: "Why did you kill his sweetheart? Could it be that you fell in love with it yourself? So..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Li Yuan blushed. "Although I was a father at the time, he was young and vigorous, but he also knew propriety, righteousness and shame. How could it be the royal family's actions to bully the concubine of the king who surrendered?"

It turned out that the old man did this to save the royal face, he had already seen Yang Guang's extravagance, so he simply cut his salary from the bottom of the pot and cut off his thoughts.

I have to say that the means are really ruthless.

Of course, the side effects are also very serious. Yang Guang, who is narrow-minded, probably will kill Li Yuan if he gets a chance.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally chose to shrink back to the Dafa: "Accumulate food widely, train more troops, and wait for the opportunity."

There is no way, the strengths of the two sides are too disparate at present, as long as the other party ascends the throne, if there is no major problem, they will have to counterattack.

If I don't take advantage of the present opportunity to hide my strength and bide my time, and quickly develop my strength, I will be finished if I speak.

Fortunately, the current environment is favorable to Li Yuan.

Because of the epidemic, the main theme of the country is disaster and epidemic prevention.And Li Yuan happened to have done a good job, which allowed him to be rewarded by the emperor, so at present, as a political model, he is safe for the time being as a model for the whole country to study.

But it is precisely because of this that he has become a thorn in the side of Yang Guang Group.

His own opposition has not only been rewarded, but will also receive more resources. Wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with it when it develops.That's why Yang Guang used the four princes to frame Li Yuan.

He knew that the emperor was not in the right position, and he was most afraid of his son usurping power, so he was extremely suspicious that the prince was colluding with foreign ministers.

Once there is such a sign, no matter how great your achievements are, you will not be able to keep you.

So she resolutely asked her father to dismiss her from office, put on a low profile, and told the other party, I am convinced, don't kill me.

With Yang Guang's arrogant and conceited character and Li Yuan's remaining prestige, he might be able to escape the catastrophe temporarily.

Facts proved that she had made the right bet. The emperor approved Li Yuan to lead Chang'an to his hometown and serve as the governor of Chang'an.

Changsheng finally heaved a sigh of relief, he was safe for the time being.

Because he knew that Yang Guang would soon succeed to the throne. Historically, Queen Dugu would die of illness soon, and her death would directly lead to the beginning of Sui Wendi's dissolute life. Without her restraint, Yang Jian would face the confrontation between the two beauties. The trend of pinching, from then on, the health deteriorated, and finally he couldn't afford to get sick.

Only at this time will Yang Guang reveal his true colors, anger Yang Jian to death, occupy the concubine, listen to slander, and resort to war. At that time, Yang Guang's goal was long-term, and he might not think of his former enemy Li Yuan.

And he will never return on the road to death. When he thinks of Li Yuan, he will face the armed forces of the [-]th Route against the king in the whole country.

When the time comes, he will be overwhelmed, how can he have the time to take care of them.

What Li Yuan needs is to lie dormant and accumulate strength before the light comes, so as to survive this darkest time.

Afterwards, Chang Sheng suggested that the eldest brother go back to study in the private school in his hometown, and the second brother go home to train with the private soldiers, while he stays at the Longshan camp.

Also, she hopes that before her father leaves, she can find more professional and technical personnel for the camp, such as skilled craftsmen, doctors, teachers, etc., as autumn and winter are approaching, and in the cold season, most of the people in the camp are indoors, and she wants to teach Their cultural knowledge, professional skills, and further occupational division of labor for them.

Changsheng also listed the things she needs, a lot of cattle and sheep, poultry, cloth, fur, iron, fuel, farm tools and so on.

Li Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this long list: "You want so many?"

Changsheng: "Yes, you are leaving. I always have to prepare more on my own so that I can be prepared."

Early the next morning, Li Yuan told him to pack up and get up, and first arranged for his subordinates.

Outside the gate of Tang Guogong's mansion, old and young, men and women, stood together.

Sitting in front of the dripping eaves, Tang Guogong looked at these subordinates, moved in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "I really hope that Longzhou will be an official and support you for life. Unexpectedly, you are forced to resign and go back because of folk songs. You are waiting under my door." , don’t follow me.”

Li Yuan used to be kind to scary people, when everyone heard this, they burst into tears, all of them were in great pain.

Seeing that they were crying so much, Tang Hui also shed two lines of hot tears. He wiped his face with his sleeves and said in pain, "You don't have to do this. Could it be that if I don't become an official today, I will drive you all out? I have a way for you to choose: Yes Those who lead me to cultivate the fields, those who do business, those who work under my family and get official positions, and those who have relatives here, these kinds of people, don’t follow me.”

"The rest will follow me to my hometown, and I will be able to live with just enough."

When these subordinates came in, those who were willing to go with them immediately agreed: "The young ones are willing to follow the master." Those who were unwilling to go did not make a sound.Li Yuan looked at it and asked them to line up on both sides.

When they all stood still, they ordered people to carry out the rolling box, and those who stayed behind, whether men, women or children, would each give him two bolts of cotton cloth and one ingot of silver.

After the reward, he ordered: "I am not an official here. You should follow the third young master's lead and abide by her law. Be careful and remember!" Everyone kowtowed and went.

Tang Guogong said to the other side: "You go to collect the money and food. Wherever you pass by on the road, you are not allowed to sell or buy by force. You can bully others. Violators will be severely punished."

Everyone bowed their heads and agreed. After Tang Guogong finished his orders, he returned to the back hall to rest.
