Chapter 379

Li Chongjiu looked at Li Zhiwan, who had a somewhat similar appearance, somewhat similar to Li Shimin, and couldn't help but think of Li Shimin in the later TV and history books in his memory.

TV, Li Shimin in the history books, the light is so dazzling that people can't look directly at it. The history books say that it was his intention to raise troops in Jinyang. Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, it is almost as if Li Tang's world is his work alone.

In the end, morality is also impeccable. Even the change of Xuanwumen, killing brothers and killing brothers to force Li Yuan to abdicate, makes people feel that it was a last resort.

However, when Li Chongjiu came to the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Li Shimin he knew was another Li Shimin.

In this era, as far as Li Chongjiu knew, it was Li Yuan's own idea to raise troops.Before Jinyang raised troops, Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County, sensed Li Yuan's intentions, and went to Dongdu from the lock, and sued Li Yuan who stayed in Taiyuan for rebellion, which showed that Li Yuan had premeditated.

When entering the Guanzhong to attack Chang'an, Li Yuan first used humble words to instigate Li Mi to lead the Wagang army to attack the eastern capital, so that the soldiers in Guanzhong were transferred to the east, and then he took advantage of the vacancy to enter. All of this was carefully arranged, not a history book According to the above, Li Yuan went whoring and staying in Jinyang Palace, and it was conspired by Li Shimin and Pei Ji, so he had no choice but to raise troops.

The historians of later generations were even more foolish to fabricate that the Jinyang uprising was Li Shimin's strategy. Li Yuan promised to make him the prince after the event was completed, but later regretted that he entered Chang'an and made Li Jian the prince.

In the real Jinyang uprising, Li Yuan led an army of [-] troops. Among them, Li Yuan's troops, Xihe Gong Zhang Lun, captured the three counties of Lishi, Longquan, and Wencheng. More than ten thousand soldiers and horses are all meritorious ministers. Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing also blocked the reinforcements of the Sui Dynasty at Tongguan.

In particular, Li Zhiwan gathered [-] people in Guanzhong, so Li Yuan dared to be there. There was still Qu Tutong in Hedong, and Lord Yao led more than [-] troops to cross the Yellow River and join Li Zhiwan in Guanzhong with an elite army of tens of thousands.

Although Li Shimin broke Song Laosheng, he is not enough to be the first.

After Li Yuan broke Chang'an, he granted Li Zhiwan the title of Princess Pingyang.

However, among the more than 150 counties in the Sui Dynasty, there is no Pingyang County. Only Linfen County was named Pingyang County. If Li Tang was able to break into Guanzhong, Li Zhiwan was the first to Ping Yang.

As for the battle of Pingxueju, Li Shimin was defeated first and then won, which is not what is said in the history books. When he was defeated, Li Shimin was not in the camp, so Li Shimin was not a general who won every battle.

But even if the halo in front of him faded, Li Shimin was still Li Shimin. Liu Wenjing once told Li Yuan that Shimin was open-minded like Henkel, and he was the same as Wei Zu.

In the presence of so many people, Li Chongjiu and Li Shimin just bowed to each other and sat down respectively, which greatly disappointed everyone who thought there would be a fierce verbal battle.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Mi couldn't help sneering, verbal fighting is just a woman's act, people like Li Chongjiu and Li Shimin want to put someone to death, how could they tell in advance, verbal disputes are most useless.

Li Mi looked at Li Shimin, and said appreciatively: "King Qin is really a hero, why not be so, how can he calm down the chaos in the world?"

Li Shimin cupped his hands and said: "If it wasn't for Shi Bo, I, Li Tang, would not be here today. Father said that he often misses Duke Wei. If he hadn't been on government affairs, he would come to Liyang to pay a visit this time."

Li Mi smiled slightly, and Liu Xie came forward and said: "Wei Gong, the heart of Tang Lord is full of kindness. I heard that Wei Gong's uncle Li Gong was also an official in Li Tang. Liyang and Guanzhong are very close by water. We can travel in a few days." To, we just got together."

Li Mi Fuxu smiled and said: "It makes sense."

Wang Bodang said: "If the Lord Tang comes to Liyang, we will sweep the couch to welcome you. But it is unnecessary for Duke Wei to go to Guanzhong."

Seeing Uncle Wang interrupting him and seeing Li Mi's noncommittal, Liu Xie couldn't help feeling a little impatient and wanted to say something, but Xu Jingzong gave him a wink, so he could only sit down.

Li Mi looked left and right, but when he saw Li Chongjiu, he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but nodded, thinking that this son really has the style of a general.

Li Mi said with a smile: "Today, everyone is invited to come to the house for a banquet. We only talk about romantic affairs and not state affairs."

At this time, the banquet began, and everyone moved to the backyard of the mansion together.

This mansion was originally the residence of Liyang rice merchants. When Yang Xuangan rebelled, the rice merchants smuggled rice grains from Liyang warehouses to the canal counties for Yang Xuangan to raise money.After Yang Xuangan's defeat, the rice merchant was arrested by the court and killed as a rebel, and his family members were also exiled for three thousand miles.

After Li Mi occupied Liyang, because of his old relationship with the rice merchant, he couldn't find his family members, so he rebuilt the mansion of the other party to treat his deceased.

In this backyard, there is a cave, there are Jiangnan water pavilions, small pavilions, corridors, and the boudoir where the young lady lives.

Everyone sat casually in the small courtyard, and the maids held steaming food tripods one by one and placed them on the food table in front of everyone.

The wine and food were very rich and quite extravagant. Everyone looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but move their index fingers. The sound of silk and bamboo in the water pavilion sounded. A terrace was built beside the pool, and dancers in long gauze came forward to perform.

Li Chongjiu was sitting at the banquet and drinking, but he saw Liu Xie, Xu Jingzong and others challenged him with words from time to time, but Li Mi all agreed with a smile.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone couldn't help but let go of their gestures.
Li Chongjiu couldn't figure out what Li Mi was thinking, just at this moment, the maid who came up to serve him a drink slipped a note for him.

Li Chongjiu took a look, and the maid smiled.After reading the note calmly, Li Chongjiu nodded, and immediately got up and left the seat.

The courtyard in the mansion is very large, Li Chongjiu turned left and right, and arrived at a side courtyard, where a rockery stood up in the courtyard, and a woman was admiring flowers in the courtyard with her back on her back.

"Miss Qu!" Li Chongjiu cupped his fists and said.

Qu Yanran was still facing the flower garden with her back turned, and said in her mouth: "Brother Li, look at the flowers in this garden are blooming very well."

Li Chongjiu went up to stand side by side with Qu Yanran, glanced at the flower garden for a while, and said: "I'm a reckless man next time, Miss Qu asked me to enjoy the flowers, no doubt like a cow chewing peonies."

Qu Yanran was annoyed, she gave Li Chongjiu a blank look, and she couldn't help being amorous at this moment.Qu Yanran said: "If I were in Dongdu, if I admired flowers, some people would tell me the best of a hundred kinds of flowers, and some people would plant a hundred kinds of flowers for me to admire, but Brother Li, you said that you are a cow chewing peonies, no Does it spoil the scenery?"

Li Chongjiu rubbed his nose, and said honestly: "I'm just telling the truth. Well, farewell to Ji County, everyone, Qu, you will be relieved."

Qu Yanran looked at Li Chongjiu, and said, "Isn't it too late to say now? Do you treat all the women in the world like this flower and don't catch your eyes?"

Li Chongjiu said: "That's not true. I advise you not to cherish the golden thread clothes. I advise you to cherish the youth. The flowers bloom and the branches are broken. Don't wait for no flowers to break the branches."

Qu Yanran's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she tasted it carefully, the flowers blooming can be broken, and the branches must be broken, don't wait for the words of no flowers and broken branches, and said: "If you don't go to fight for the world, there will be more people who can compete with you." Sima Xiang is like a shoulder-to-shoulder person."

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being poor-mouthed when he heard the words, and said: "That's not necessary, since the Empress Chen is a prince, he is also very talented in writing."

"Don't say that, what's wrong with you when Empress Chen Guopo was captured?" Qu Yanran said urgently.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but move when he heard Qu Yanran's concern.Seeing Li Chongjiu looking at her, Qu Yanran couldn't help but forgive her face, turned around and chanted: "Flowers can be broken when they bloom, don't wait for no flowers to break branches. This is what you said, if a beautiful woman is like a flower in front of you, you To fold or not to fold?"

Li Chongjiu looked at Qu Yanran and said, "You said..."

"Wait a minute," Qu Yanran turned around and asked, "Do you remember that you saved a princess outside Yanmen Pass?"

Li Chongjiu couldn't help being surprised when Qu Yanran suddenly changed the subject, and asked, "Princess, you are talking about Princess Changle, right? How do you know?"

Qu Yanran stepped forward and asked, "Don't ask me, I just ask you what do you think of the princess?"

Li Chongjiu thought for a while, and said: "Graceful and luxurious, beautiful and heavenly, better than a peony!"

Qu Yanran showed a complex expression when she heard this, and asked: "If there is a woman like Princess Changle who wants to marry you, will you marry me or not?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but said: "Master Qu, you don't want to go on stage and ask me to come to the courtyard just to have a private conversation with me?"

Qu Yanran smiled sweetly and said: "I came to this courtyard just to reminisce about the past, for the sake of an old friend, can you answer me?"

Seeing Qu Yanran like this, Li Chongjiu spread his hands and said jokingly: "Princess Changle is the emperor's daughter. I, Li Chongjiu, come from a poor family, so I can't afford it?"

"You're lying!" Qu Yanran couldn't help being furious, and immediately said, "Okay, I won't tell you these things."

Seeing Qu Yanran like this, Li Chongjiu said seriously, "Speaking of which, I have something to ask you."

"Speak!"

Li Chongjiu said: "Since the change of Jiangdu, most of the courtiers of the imperial family were killed by Yu Wenhuaji. I heard that Princess Changle and King Qi lived among the people and their whereabouts are unknown. They had an old kindness to me at the beginning, but now they are in trouble. I As a reward, although I have sent people to investigate, I have searched all over the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no trace of the two of you. You have a wide range of friends and travel north and south. If you have any news about the two of you, you can tell me. I will thank you for your kindness. .”

Qu Yanran glanced at Li Chongjiu, and said, "I've remembered this, and I want to see what you have to thank me for. But let's wait until we find it."

Speaking of this, Qu Yanran's complexion darkened, and she said: "Okay, I'm going to dress up and go on stage, please go to Mr. Gu to avoid it."

Seeing Qu Yanran's hot and cold, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel that a woman can turn her face faster than a book, so she turned and left the yard.

Qu Yanran looked at Li Chongjiu's back, she couldn't help but soften, she sat on the stone bench, and said to herself, what are you doing, and what good is it for you.

Li Chongjiu left the courtyard, and at this moment he saw Wang Bodang with a dozen people outside the courtyard, the other party saw Li Chongjiu, and immediately said: "Shanggu Gong, Wei Gong is here to invite you."
