Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54 Chang'an
After five or six days, Yuan Tiangang arrived in Chang'an, did not stay, and went directly to the palace to meet Li Yuan.Soon, Yuan Tiangang appeared in a secret room. Li Yuan and Yuan Tiangang sat opposite each other, but there was no sense of distinction between monarch and minister.

Li Yuan looked quite excited, he said to Yuan Tiangang:

"Yuan Daochang, are you sure it's this person?"

"That's right, the surname is Xu, the county man!" Yuan Tiangang nodded vigorously and said.

Before Li Yuan sat on the throne, and even before he rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang calculated three hexagrams for Li Yuan. The first hexagram determined the chaos of the Sui Dynasty within five years, the second hexagram determined Li Yuanlong's body, and the third hexagram said Li Jiancheng was capable of writing. Li Shimin is capable of martial arts.

Five years later, all the three hexagrams were fulfilled, the Sui Dynasty rebelled, Li Yuan ascended the throne, Li Shimin fought for Li Yuan in the north and south, and Li Jiancheng assisted Li Yuan in the rear, so Li Yuan trusted Yuan Tiangang very much. It can be said that Yuan Tiangang is Li Yuan's Daoyan monk.

Four years after becoming emperor, Li Yuan was not satisfied with everything he had, and asked Yuan Tiangang again, but this time he asked about the fate of the country.Yuan Tiangang speculated for a while, but saw that the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty was divided into two. He was shocked and didn't dare to answer indiscriminately.There is no miracle without the world, no coincidence without a book, and there are many powerful people in the world. Yuan Tiangang finally saw the fate of the Tang Dynasty roughly.

Brothers fight against each other, the family is full of blood, natural disasters and man-made disasters, yin flourishes and yang declines, the dragon is cut in two, and disasters arise from within, so it is the same as the end of the Han Dynasty.

Li Yuan is indeed worthy of being a hero. After hearing the deduction, his first reaction was not to accept his fate, but to ask Yuan Tiangang how to change his fate.Yuan Tiangang replied that the destiny is fixed, unless someone who jumps out of the five-element destiny and the earth has no destiny is found.This kind of person is neither dead nor alive, both dead and alive, and it is rare to have one in hundreds of years.Li Yuan made a decisive decision and asked Yuan Tiangang to look for it. Although it was just to find a needle in a haystack, if he didn't fight, who would know?

Judging from the TV shows of later generations, it seems that Li Yuan was just a sniffer, relying on the hard work of his sons, especially Li Shimin, to ascend the throne and become emperor.But isn't history written by the victors? Li Shimin's position is not correct, and it is indeed possible to blacken both his father and brother.

After Li Yuan gave the order to find the person with no fate, Yuan Tiangang began to secretly look for the person who changed his fate, but the world is so big, where should he go?Yuan Tiangang thought, I am a Taoist priest, let's do a fortune telling, go east?Except Tongguan.south?Arrived in Luonan.further west?Huh?Isn't this a small mountain village, it's still going to the market, alas, let's go and have a look.In this way, Yuan Tiangang met Xu Qing.

"I know the county man in Luonan. His name is Xu Chuliu. He has presented new things over and over again, and he has made several achievements in the army. He is a strange talent..." Li Yuan stroked his beard and said.

"People who have no fate can't look at it with common sense." Yuan Tiangang said.

"Speaking of him, it's time to leave, right?"

"Your Majesty, this person has a lifeless appearance. This kind of appearance is the most difficult to guess. It should not be reused blindly, but..." Yuan Tiangang said cautiously.

"I know, I already have three places for him to go. One is Hebei, where the people are not attached to it. Let him be any governor, and he can experience government affairs. The second is Li Jing's place. Continue his military experience, and the third is the Tongguan ambassador, although the rating is low, but he can practice human relations and common affairs..." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Tiangang, meaning to ask him to give him some advice.

"Tongguan is dangerous, the army is changeable, and the assassin is the best..." Yuan Tiangang said without hesitation. He told Li Yuan that his fortune in this life is coming to an end, and his life will be longer. pursued.Li Yuan already trusted him, so when he said these words, Li Yuan just smiled, pretending that he was indifferent.

"Well, well, let Xu Chuliu go to Hebei..." Li Yuan nodded his head to confirm the answer. He knew what Yuan Tiangang meant. Tongguan is the gateway to Chang'an. Once there is a problem, there is no danger in the pass. It is too late to dispatch troops.But in the army, it often means that Xu Qing is very likely to be wooed by Prince Dao or Li Shimin's faction, and Li Yuan is unwilling to see any situation.

He already knew that the crown prince and Li Shimin were fighting each other, Li Shimin had great prestige in the army, and eldest grandson Wuji was not easy in court affairs.The prince has prestige in the aristocratic family and government affairs, but Qi Wang Li You also has prestige in the army, and people on the side of the prince, so the prince also has influence in the army.

It can be said that the two factions have intricate relations and forces in the military and politics, but Li Yuan's own power is actually smaller than both factions.Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was very unhappy.After all, he is still in his prime. At this time, you are all fighting for the interests based on his Li Yuan's corpse. Have you ever asked Li Yuan how he feels?
Regarding the party disputes in the court, Li Yuan has always maintained a neutral attitude, one is because of the emperor's art, and the other is because the world has been pre-established, and these people must be there to maintain the operation of the country.However, whether it is party struggle or maintenance of the country, it should be based on loyalty to the emperor alone, not even one more person, even if it is the emperor's own son, even the prince!

Li Yuan sent Yuan Tiangang away. Thinking alone, he suddenly laughed and said, "It seems necessary to remind some people who is the current Lord of the Tang Dynasty! All you want is my gift." ..." Li Yuan's heroic attitude only appeared for a few seconds, and then he showed a decadent attitude, as if he was an old man enjoying his old age.

On Chang'an Avenue, Shangguanyi, who had just arrived in Chang'an, took the three little ones to go shopping in the West Market:

From oldest to youngest, they are Shangguanyi, Zhang Linye, Xun Fang, and Xun Yeyu. Shangguan Yi is polite and has a free and easy temperament, Zhang Linye is honest and clever, Xun Fang is honest but not stupid, and the youngest Xun Yeyu is lively. A little bit.Four people with different temperaments are walking on the street, but their intimacy is similar to that of four brothers.

"Hey, hey, Xun Yeyu, don't run around~" Xun Fang pulled Xun Yeyu who was looking around. He is Xun Yeyu's cousin, and he is most responsible for taking care of Xun Yeyu. This is also Xun Xueer. entrusted.

"Old man, I'll return the things to you, my brother is young and not sensible~~" Zhang Linye returned a jade comb to the shopkeeper of the jewelry store, and he didn't know when Xun Yeyu broke in.

"Xun Yeyu, we have no money! We can't buy anything!" Shangguanyi said to Xun Yeyu, protecting his burden.

"Didn't brother-in-law give you a lot?" Xun Yeyu pouted and asked without knowing why.Shangguanyi heard this, and secretly scolded Xu Qing, why did he give Xun Yeyu some money to see:

"Eating, dressing and lodging are quite a lot, but why do you buy a jade comb, you are not a woman~"

"Can't comb, my sister often combs my hair..."

"A comb is fine, but a jade one is not, huh? Nuonuo Nuo, there's a half of it on the side of the road, go pick it up and use it..."

"Humph..." Xun Yeyu pouted and snorted, "Chang'an is not good. My brother-in-law said Chang'an has delicious food, and now I haven't even encountered a candied haws..." The candied haws only became famous in Luonan, Chang'an I'm afraid no one will know about it yet, but when the Lu family gets their business done, maybe the candied haws will become famous in Jinghua.But even so, the hawthorn is not ripe yet.

"..." The other three people let Xun Yeyu complain based on the principle that you are young and you are reasonable.After a stroll, I felt the prosperity of Chang'an a little bit, and then I went to the hotel with the fatigue of the journey.

When Li Yuan was ambitious, and when the four brothers went to the hotel to rest, somewhere in Xu Qing's house, the gate was closed, and no one outside Zhang Bashi dared to approach.Suddenly, there was a muffled "bang".
