They and the kings of two different dynasties form a legendary story of a confidante's fate and a disaster for the country. All kinds of irreversible The factors of life frame the destiny of people, and at the same time they also frame the trend of history.In the river bed of fate and history, they drifted with the current, walked towards their joy, and also towards their pain...

When Li Yuan woke up from the gentle village, he found that the two beautiful women sleeping next to him turned out to be the second concubine Zhang Yin of the Jinyang Palace who was loyal to Emperor Sui Yang, which scared him...

Outside the mountains and rivers are broken, Emperor Yangdi still lingers in the lost buildings of Jiangdu. In the fear of the end of the world and the imminent doomsday, the inner eunuch Wang Yi remonstrates the brutal Emperor Yangdi with his death...

The confidants of Emperor Yangdi, General Sima Dekan, the guard of the palace, and General Pei Qiantong, the general of Zhiyue, took advantage of the soldiers' desire to return home, and together with Huyalang and Yuanshu, they instigated the rebellion of the key figure Yu Wenhua and his brothers, but they were unexpectedly killed by a The maid of honor discovered their secret.Unexpectedly, when she went to file a complaint, she angered Emperor Yang and was brutally executed...

After Yu Wenhuaji entered the palace, Emperor Yangdi was frightened out of his wits, but his favorite concubine Zhu Guier was not afraid of death. At the same time as her famous behavior of denouncing the rebels, she was also killed by a knife. The dead body was lying on the ground; Yang Gao, the youngest son of Emperor Yang's favorite Zhao Wang, was separated from his body; finally, in the Sui Dynasty royal family's Jiangdu Palace, the more famous Emperor Yang died in Bailian...

1. Each hero counts
Another year passed in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Yangdi was still in Jiangdu, indulging in sensuality, while Caotou Kings from all directions started to make a scene one after another, and the mighty Central Plains was torn apart.From the seventh year of Emperor Yangdi to the 13th year, there were 49 uprisings in various ways in the six years, such as the first Liu Wuzhou who proclaimed emperor and raised troops in Mayi; then Lin Shihong proclaimed emperor and raised troops in Yuzhang; Emperor, raised troops in Jin'an, Dou Jiande called Changle King, raised troops in Hejian; in addition, Du Fuwei called Wu King, raised troops in Huainan; There are countless people whose names and surnames can be checked, and those small groups of bandits who loot here and there and harass the people are countless.However, Emperor Sui Yang, who had been stationed in Jiangdu for a long time, still spent his days in the maze building, collecting Wuwa from the south of the Yangtze River, drinking and drinking, drunk and dreaming.Those courtiers of the Sui family who flattered and flattered them only wanted to be rich and powerful in front of them, but they failed to report the alarms everywhere. Seeing the chaos outside, the foundation of the Sui family was in jeopardy, but Emperor Yang was still in the dark, and he could not see him. Smell, naturally don't ask.

Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, looked at the broken country and sighed often, but did not move.In fact, throughout Li Yuan's life, he has neither the ambition nor the talent to start a business.But Li Yuan's excellence lies in his way of being an official. He always has a way to change his predicament. After this calamity.

But Li Shimin is different. Although he is Li Yuan's own flesh and blood, he is quite different from his father.In the future, from the rise of troops in Taiyuan to the pacification of the country at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan mainly relied on Li Shimin's strategies and campaigns.Right now, in this troubled world, when all the heroes are competing for the deer, Li Shimin always pays attention to the heroes in front of him, and also secretly plans to make a big effort, so Jinyang makes Liu Wenjing and the deputy supervisor Pei Ji the objects of his friendship.The two have the closest relationship in normal times, and they also care about the times to help the world. Heroes come out of troubled times. Pei Ji believes that the hero of today is Director Li Yuanli, because he is very popular with the people.Liu Wenjing agrees with this point, but he thinks that Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, is a genius in life.

2. Li Yuan strays into the gentle township
Soon after, Jiang You sent an edict saying that Li Mi rebelled. Liu Wenjing and Li Mi were relatives of their sons and daughters, and they should sit together according to the law.Li Yuan didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately removed Liu Wenjing's crown and belt, and detained him in prison.Li Shimin rushed to visit him in the prison, Liu Wenjing not only didn't worry about complaining, but sat cross-legged on the straw mat, talked about the world's major events, and made a plan for Li Shimin, who has long had extraordinary ambitions.But what makes Li Shimin very hesitant is that his father, who is loyal to the emperor, will not agree to make trouble, and Liu Wenjing naturally has a clever plan for this.

Li Shimin, who followed his plan, first invited Pei Ji to drink and gamble, and these two things were what Pei Ji liked most in his life.In Li Shimin's private room, during the feast, Li Shimin took out [-] yuan, and the two gambled from noon till dusk. Li Shimin deliberately lost all the money; After enjoying the wine, he naturally often got together with Li Shimin. That day when the conversation reached the speculators, Li Shimin spoke out Liu Wenjing's idea.Hearing this, Pei Ji clapped his hands and shouted: "I've had this intention for a long time too! It's just that you are respectful and loyal to the king, and you will never obey your express persuasion. Now I have a clever plan. If you accept the trust of your son today, you will obey me tomorrow." Plan and do it."

On the second day, Pei Ji specially prepared sumptuous food and wine, hosted a banquet in Jinyang Palace, and invited Li Yuan to the table.Emperor Gaozu of the Sui Dynasty had Chang'an as his capital at the beginning, and Emperor Yangdi also had his capital in Luoyang, named Dongdu.Later, because of the need to travel around, the palace was widely built.Jinyang Palace is one of the palaces, and there are also a large group of eunuchs and maids in the palace, ready for the Holy Majesty to arrive at any time.When the emperor is not in the palace, there are two supervisors, the principal and the deputy, to manage all the affairs in the palace.Now the chief supervisor of Jinyang Palace is Li Yuan, and the deputy supervisor is Pei Ji.This time Pei Ji held a banquet in the palace for Li Yuan, Li Yuan thought that he was the palace warden, and he and Pei Ji were old friends for many years, it is common to hold banquets in the palace, so he happily went to the banquet without any doubts.

The two were eating and talking, very happy.Since ancient times, there were not many cups of wine, but when the two of them talked to each other, they started to drink again and again. Li Yuan got drunk, but Pei Ji took advantage of Li Yuan's inattention and poured the wine into the spit pot one cup at a time.

While enjoying a drink, suddenly there was a sound of the curtain hook, and two slender and beautiful beauties aged seventeen or eighteen came in. They covered their vermilion lips with handkerchiefs and walked towards Li Yuan side by side with smiles on their shoulders. The two beauties were slim and graceful, prostrating to the ground side by side, Li Yuan was so flustered that he stretched out his hands to help.Pei Ji ordered the two beauties to sit around Li Yuan.After the two beauties sat down, they kept persuading them to drink.At this time, Li Yuan was filled with excellent fragrant wine, and looked at the excellent beauty in his drunken eyes. He had never been strong in this regard, but at this moment, he was softened into a puddle of mud by the joint force formed by the wine and the beauty. , couldn't help drinking wine, looking at the two beauties' full autumn eyes and delicate pink cheeks, while smelling the wisps of fragrance, which sneaked into her nose from her emerald sleeves.Poor Li Yuan has been a soldier for half his life. He has never experienced such a beautiful blessing.Seeing that Li Yuan was drunk, the two beauties hurriedly supported him into the inner palace to sleep.Li Yuan's sleep, although it was too late to turn upside down, it was enough to snuggle up with the fragrance.

After sleeping soundly for a long time, Li Yuan gradually felt a strange fragrance in his nose. When he woke up from the pillow, he felt that his eyes were full of beauty. He almost suspected that he was in a dream, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously. When he looked around, there were two beauties standing sideways. hug him.Li Yuan saw that their delicate red and pink short clothes showed more and more white and tender skin, so he couldn't help stretching out his hands to caress them.

These two beauties are as gentle and gentle as a pair of interpreting flowers. When Li Yuan asked their surnames, they replied softly that one was Yin and the other Zhang.Li Yuan asked where they lived.What kind of person is he?The two beauties pursed their lips and said with a smile: "Now that I have been entrusted, let me tell the truth. I only ask Mr. Tang to blame us. This is the idea of ​​Deputy Supervisor Pei. We are not ordinary women. Originally They are the family members of Jinyang Palace; just because the Holy Majesty is licentious, the flames of war are everywhere, and the chaos has been completed, the concubines and others only hope that they will be entrusted as soon as possible..." Li Yuan jumped up from the bed in fright before they could finish listening: "The most important place in the palace, the nobles of the palace, how can they sleep together? I deserve to die! How can this, this, this be done?!" He said, before he had time to get dressed, he fled out of the palace. At that time, his little courage was under unprecedented pressure, which made him almost collapse.

Coincidentally bumped into Pei Ji, Li Yuan went up to grab him, called Pei Ji and said: "Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen! Are you going to kill me? No wonder people say you can't make friends with wine and meat. It seems that I really missed you !" Pei Ji smiled and said, "Why is Master Li so timid? It's nothing to take in one or two court ladies; even taking in the Sui Dynasty is not a big deal!"

Li Yuan became more and more flustered, and said: "You and I are both servants of the Yang family, how can we betray ourselves and invite disaster?" Pei Ji stopped laughing, and said solemnly: "A person who knows the current affairs is a hero, Now Emperor Yang has no way, the people are impoverished, the heroes are fighting for the throne, and the flames of war are raging. Duke Ming has a heavy army in his hands, and rises at the wrong time to eliminate violence for the people. What day do you want to wait?"

Li Yuan murmured: "I have received the kindness of the country in my life, so I dare not betray my heart."

Just as he was talking, a young man broke into the palace with Liu Wenjing in his arms.When Li Yuan saw that it was his second son Li Shimin, he quickly pointed to Liu Wenjing and said, "This Liu Daling was captured by the emperor's order. How dare you let him go?"

Li Shimin said loudly: "What is the sage not the sage! Today the world is in chaos, and the night is not safe; if my father continues to observe the small festivals, there will be robbers and severe punishments, and a catastrophe will come soon!" So far, it is better to follow the people's will and revive the righteous teacher, or we can turn disaster into blessing."

Being forced by the three of them, Li Yuan couldn't vent his anger for a while, so he went up and grabbed his son Li Shimin, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, I will just surrender you! So as not to be troubled in the future."

Pei Ji hurriedly persuaded him, and Li Shimin also said: "My child carefully observes the time and personnel, and the opportunity has come, so I dare to speak out boldly; if the adults must turn the child to the government, I will not dare to resign." As he spoke, he shed tears.

After all, due to the nature of father and son, Li Yuan let go without realizing it.Seeing that his father's anger retreated a little, Li Shimin persuaded: "Nowadays, it is widely rumored in the world that the Li family should prosper, and the Yang family should be destroyed. The Duke of Li, Li Hun, was innocent and suffered disaster; our family has been tabooed, and now the uprising is just the way to avoid disaster. road."

Li Yuan thought about it, he had insulted the palace family members, the big crime was hard to escape, and Kuang's surname was Li, and he violated the taboo of Emperor Yangdi. : "Come on, let's go! Today, you are the only one who destroys the family and dies; in the future, you are the only one who turns the family into a country, and I can't be independent anymore!"
