[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

Unexpectedly, when asked, Yixin glanced at Li Shimin and the Changsun family, and said in a low voice, "I think Li Mi will take the eastern capital of Luoyang first."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "But why?"

Satisfied, he said: "The reason why Li Mi can have today's power depends on the Wagang Army. The Wagang Army was first established in the Eastern County of Yanzhou. A considerable number of soldiers are from the surrounding areas of Luoyang, the eastern capital. Even if Li Mi wants to take the In Chang'an, the soldiers will lean more toward Luoyang."

Li Shimin slapped his head suddenly: "That's right, the Wagang Army was indeed launched around Luoyang, not to mention that Li Mi must obey the will of the people, even if he insists on going his own way to attack Chang'an, it will cause discord in the team."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason."

Changsun handed a bowl of licorice to Xin with a smile, and praised: "It's really a hero, I only hope that in the future, Erlang and my children will be as smart and well-behaved as Zhi'er."

Originally, Xinxin was drinking that rare refreshing drink, but when she heard this, she almost spit out the drink in one gulp, and was choked and coughed persistently.

Changsun looked at him dumbfounded, and said with a smile, "What are you doing in such a hurry to drink, and no one is robbing you."

Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin: "Just like what the governor said just now, the Wagang soldiers are not united. Even if we fight against them, we may not be at a disadvantage. If they really choose to fight Luoyang, they will seek their own death. But , in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, I do have a plan here, which can ensure that Chang'an becomes our possession."

This time, even the choked up coughing Yi Xin stopped making a sound, and listened to Fang Xuanling's strategy with full attention.

Fang Xuanling dipped his hands in the tea soup, and made a few strokes on the case. The tea dries up quickly in the hot weather, but Li Shimin couldn't recover for a long time.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Am I wrong? From the looks of it, the governor and Li Mi are not of the same clan?"

As soon as these words came out, Yixin immediately understood Fang Xuanling's meaning.

Li Yuan, Li Mi.

Although the ancestral home is different, judging from the literal name of the surname, maybe hundreds of years ago, they really belonged to the same family.

However, Yixin still hasn't turned the corner. Even if they were a family hundreds of years ago, so what, is it possible that they still have to recognize their relatives?

When the word "recognize relatives" appeared in Xin Xin's mind, he vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but he was not very clear.

However, Li Shimin had grasped the key point, he said in a deep voice: "Xuan Ling means that Li Mi and I are called brothers and sisters?"

Fang Xuanling's words were not surprising: "Isn't it possible?"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy: "Why should I do this?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Of course it is to stabilize Li Mi."

Li Shimin's expression became more and more serious, he changed his legs to kneeling, and his body moved forward slightly: "I would like to hear more about it."

On the contrary, Fang Xuanling became more and more relaxed. He spoke in a normal tone. If he didn't hear what he said, it would even make people feel that he was chatting with others.

"Since Li Mi is likely to attack Luoyang, let's retreat and force him to attack Luoyang. While Li Mi hesitates, the governor can immediately ask someone to write a letter, telling Li Mi that our army surrenders to him and firmly supports him as the new king. As long as the matter is completed, the descendants of the Li family will be given the shelter of being kings and nobles."

Seeing Li Shimin's hesitation, Fang Xuanling persuaded: "Captain, this is the safest way. Once Li Mi believes our words, he will definitely think that Chang'an, which is guarded by us, is already in his pocket and is gone." With the worry of being divided into two groups, he will focus on smashing Luoyang. No matter how weak the emperor is, the Xiaoguo army is not a vegetarian. When Li Mi and the emperor are both defeated, our Chang'an city will not be saved?"

After listening to Fang Xuanling's explanation, Xinxin heaved a sigh of relief, this is really a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman wins.Little by little to wear down the opponent's vigilance, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness.

When the news reached Li Yuan's ears, Li Yuan was silent for a long time, and asked Pei Ji, "Have you found the person next to Shimin?"

Pei Ji nodded and said: "It has been found out, the counselor's surname is Fang, his name is Qiao, he is from Qizhou, his ancestors are from the Qinghe family, he was famous for his talent when he was young, he was a captain of Yuqi in the East Palace, and he was implicated because Yang Yong was deposed. I am demoted to Xicheng, and I am afraid that I am unwilling to become a counselor in the Shimin Mansion this time, and I want to get ahead."

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Yang Guang is stupid. It's really sad that such a talent was relegated to a small county. Now is the time when we need a counselor, let the people of the world ask him for advice."

According to Fang Xuanling's strategy, Li Shimin, the right-leading governor, wrote a letter to Li Mi, expressing his sincerity. Li Mi was swinging from side to side when he suddenly received Li Shimin's letter.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had painstakingly managed Dongdu for many years. Even the Wagang Army led by Li Mi had high morale and could not make a strong attack for a while. Facing Li Mi's fierce offensive, the Luoyang defender gradually became tired of fighting, so he had to ask Jiangdu for help.

Until then, Yang Guang, who was immersed in the fragrance of powder, finally woke up. He hastily mobilized the whole country's troops, but he was shocked to find that the whole country was reversed, and the troops that could be used by the court included all kinds of troops , It's only over a hundred thousand.

Yang Guang ordered General Wang Shichong to lead his army to confront Li Mi tit for tat, but it was a pity that the Sui army lost their minds and suffered repeated defeats.

The four words "the end of life" became a dark cloud hanging over the Sui royal family.

When the news of Wang Shichong's defeat reached Yang Guang's ears again, Yang Guang was lying in the bedroom of Danyang Palace in Jiangdu.

It is the body and the mind that are tired.

The emperor who once courted 18 daughters overnight was old, and now he can only lie on the lap of Empress Xiao, caressing his pale and haggard face, taking another breath of the intoxicating incense, and said faintly: " Wan, look, am I getting old?"

Xiao's onion-like fingers dexterously rubbed Yang Guang's temples, her voice was soft and gentle, it sounded like a breeze blowing through people's hearts: "Your Majesty just joked, you are just over the age of not knowing the destiny , where is it getting old?"

Emperor Sui Yang held her hand. Xiao's body was cold, and his hands were always cold. Although Yang Guang was unlucky, he always treated Xiao with kindness. As long as Xiao asked, he would not refuse. .

"I think Wanwan and I have been together for forty years. I still remember that when you married me in the second year of Kaihuang, you were wearing a green and wide-sleeved underskirt, paired with a butterfly gold hairpin. It was truly astonishing. "Speaking, Yang Guang struggled to get up, took out a hairpin from his bosom, and the gold-cast butterfly looked lifelike.

Yang Guang stretched out his hand, and slowly pinned the treasure butterfly hairpin on Xiao's bun.

"When I saw you for the first time, I thought you would be like this precious butterfly, and one day you would fly away with wings."

Yang Guang flicked Xiao Shi's hand, and looked up at her beauty that had not been eroded by the years.

"Now outside, I don't know how many people are waiting to cut off my head. Wanwan, tell me, who will cut off my head in the end?"

Xiao Shi heard the words, stroked Yang Guang's neck lightly, and remained silent without saying a word.

Yang Guang squinted his eyes slightly and waited for a while. The moment he opened his eyes, Xiao's face maintained the usual indifference, as if the emperor died the next moment, and it had nothing to do with her.

For some reason, Yang Guang felt unreconciled for no reason, and he said coldly, "At that time, I will be the king of subjugation, and you will be the queen of subjugation."

Xiao Shi finally took a look at the excited emperor, but said softly: "The general trend of the world is irreversible, and when that day really comes, there is nothing we can do about it."

Yang Guang's dull eyes suddenly showed some hope, and he asked a little eagerly: "Wanwan, tell me, if there is such a day, will you go with me?"

Xiao's hand caressed Yang Guang's cheek, and finally he looked at the emperor's eyebrows carefully with his passionate eyes.

Yang Guang's face was really not good, his eyebrows were sparse and messy, his eyes were dark and bloodshot, and he had a typical disordered and fierce look.

Yang Guang waited for a long time, the brilliance in his eyes gradually dimmed, and the emperor who had lost hope looked even more unkind.

Yang Guang laughed at himself and said, "I knew it, Wanwan, you have no heart."

"Father was in Liang Guoguang to choose Jin Wangfei and brought you back from Zhang Ke's mansion. The first time I saw you, this heart was taken away by you, and no one else can be tolerated. The master is the princess. For divination, I secretly exchanged the results of other people's divinations with yours, so that one day I can marry you as the concubine of Jin."

Xiao's hand trembled suddenly, and he said softly: "So, the result of the fortune-telling for me by the fortune-teller back then was actually very ominous?"

Yang Guang nodded feebly, seeing Xiao's silence, he went crazy again, and shouted: "It's not important, Wanwan, it's not important, I never believe in fate, I only want your heart, Ask yourself, have I treated you badly these years? Everyone in the world says that I am tyrannical/sexual/chaotic, oppressing the people, what the world doesn’t understand, don’t you understand?”

Yang Guang thought that Xiao Shi would be able to listen to such hysterical shouts, but at this moment Xiao Shi, like a wooden man, stared blankly at the void, ignoring the emperor's words.

Yang Guang's eyes were red. He got up from Xiao Shi's lap, pointed to the woman he loved the most in his life, and said, "Wanwan, you know very well that as long as you say a word, I will dismiss the harem for you. , in my eyes nothing compares to your Xiao Wanwan's smiling face. But what about you, do you have a heart, do you care? Why did I rush to open the canal, why did I go to such lengths to build Luoyang, and why am I taking you with me now? Came to Jiangdu? Don't you really understand?"

Xiao slowly closed her eyes: "Your Majesty, stop talking, drink the medicine while it's hot."

With a wave of Yang Guangyang's hand, the medicine bowl on the table fell immediately, and the brown soup spilled all over the floor: "I want to say, yes, I know that those Xiaoguo guards outside all look down on me, they don't They like Jiangnan, they want to go back, but from the day I married you, I vowed to make the Jiangnan gentry and Guanlong gentry equal, and to make your Lanling Xiao family name last forever. I, Yang Guang, am not afraid of the world's jokes, but I am afraid of you Xiao Wan Wan is not tempted."

Xiao closed her eyes, as if she could escape something like that: "What's the use of talking about this now."

What Yang Guang dislikes the most is Xiao Shi's negative attitude. She doesn't care about anything. She is in the confinement of the palace, but she watches everything in the palace with cold eyes. Yang Guang accepts so many beautiful wives and concubines, but Xiao Shi I can take myself out and be a complete bystander.

She won't play with her temper, she won't even be jealous, and she won't have any extra emotions even when she sleeps with Yang Guang's concubine.

Over the years, Yang Guang embraced the Xiao family, and often felt that even if he was rich in the world, Xiao Wanwan's heart was still not conquered by him.

The emperor, who was so angry to the extreme, finally walked away, and there was only silence in Danyang Palace in an instant.

It wasn't until Yang Guang's figure was completely invisible that Xiao Shi's tensed back finally relaxed.She slowly spread her palm, and in the white palm, there were bloodstains gouged out by red nails.

The tears that I had endured for a long time finally fell.

She sobbed softly: "It turns out that it is still ominous. I thought that marrying you was the only good omen in my life."

From that day on, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, never stepped into Xiao's bedroom again. He even ordered Wang Shichong to put aside the war first, and make it a top priority to select the most beautiful women in the world for him. Flooded to Yang Guang's side like a tide, singing and dancing all day long, drunk with luxury.

Yang Guang didn't want to go back to Luoyang, but that didn't mean those subordinates who were born in Guanzhong didn't want to go back.

On this day, Wu Benlang gathered Yuan Li, Jianmen Zhige Pei Qiantong, and Imperial Guard Commander Sima Dekan, three confidantes of Emperor Sui Yang, to drink together.When the wine was full, Yuan Li threw the wine glass away: "Grandma, this life is really friggin' aggrieved. When will Your Majesty plan to return to Luoyang?"

"I see, His Majesty has no intention of going back for a while." Pei Qiantong sighed and said, "Jiangdu is so wonderful. Women from Jiangnan are as tender as water. Your Majesty has long been reluctant to return."

Yuan Li was a little drunk, and the words on his mouth were unobstructed: "All the brothers under my command want to go back to Luoyang. If you say that Jiangdu has wine, meat and girls, but a man is a man who is always addicted to wine and sex. It's so boring."

Pei Qiantong responded: "Isn't that right? As far as I know, five more sneaked away today, and they were arrested and dealt with by military law. But seeing my brothers like this makes me feel uncomfortable. Now the country is in such a mess. Look, if His Majesty is not vigilant, I am afraid that the days of ease will not be long."

Sima Dekan looked at the two drunken people in front of him, and suddenly said: "Are you really planning to live on like this? Now the world is full of repercussions, but His Majesty doesn't want to clean up the mess at all. No one in the world knows that we are close ministers of the emperor. When they come to Jiangdu, who of us can have good fruit?"

Yuan Li's mind was dizzy after he was drunk, and he didn't understand the meaning of Sima Dekan's words. He said with his tongue out, "Commander, what do you mean? If your majesty doesn't go back to Luoyang, what can we do?" Method?"
