Chapter 401

It's Lanzhou. A military intelligence report written by Xiao Liang and a blood petition written by Qin mubai.

On the court hall, it finally exploded; the streets and alleys of Chang'an were like a bomb thrown into the quiet deep sea, and the people were boiling.

Since emperor Wude of this dynasty ascended the throne, there has never been such a tragedy - the treason and killing of the feudal officials, not to mention the killing of Qin Shubao, the famous founder of the country and the God of war!

Some people cry, some laugh; some are happy, some are worried, some wake up in a dream like a bang in the head, and some are in constant panic.

In short, Chang'an is no longer as quiet and peaceful as it used to be.

In the face of the bustling ministers and the passionate people in Manchu Dynasty, Chang sun Wuji spared no words, and Chu suiliang couldn't make a decision before Chang sun Wuji. This is what the two chief officials and aides of that dynasty showed. The prince of the state of Jin, Li Zhi, had already lost his mind. Naturally, he took his eldest grandson Wuji and Chu suiliang to the harem to invite the Emperor Li Shimin.

Strange things happened - the emperor, who had been living in the back palace, was missing. No one knows where he went. He didn't even take hundreds of guards and disappeared alone.

As everyone knows, this is not Li Shimin's usual style. He is so unconventional that he must take important measures They looked around for nothing, so they all guessed, at such a crucial point, where would the emperor go? Where can he go?

……

Li Shimin has been out of the palace more than once or twice. But this time, no one thought that he would go out of the palace in micro clothes, go to Zhongnanshan, and walk into a humble and even a little bit of a broken Taoist temple.

"I wonder if I'm really old, and I've become indifferent. When it comes to military and state affairs, ask not the minister but the alchemist. " Li Shimin held a cup of tea in his hand and said with a bitter smile, "you two, are you willing to give me directions today?"

The two men sitting on the left and right of Li Shimin. A middle-aged man was dressed in a light robe with a purple crown, and his face was as bright as pearls and jade. Another old man was dressed in a plain blue shirt with white hair, and his hair was tied in a wooden drum. He had a childlike face, and he was like an overseas fairy.

Old yuan Tiangang, middle-aged Li Chunfeng!

"Elder martial brother yuan traveled for a long time and soon came back to Guanzhong. Since your majesty is well aware of the way of the Ming emperor, he should discuss the military affairs with his ministers. He really shouldn't have come to ask us. " Li Chunfeng said.

Yuan Tiangang's face was expressionless, his eyes were bright, and he sat at the bottom of the head, caressing his white beard without saying anything.

"Since I am here. There is no reason to go back empty handed. " Li Shimin said, "treat me as a fool."

"Your Majesty is a gentleman or a gentleman, not has the final say, I can not wait to say two people." Yuan Tiangang, who had been silent for a long time, spoke very slowly. His voice was not big, but he could penetrate the body and reach the viscera as if he had magic power. As if as long as he spoke, no one would ignore his every word.

"Mr. Yuan is a man of great virtue and has his own moral integrity. But this time, I have to break your rules. " Li Shimin said, "let's stop talking. I'd like to know what you and Li Chunfeng think of the recent stars? How about the number of Qi in the Tang Dynasty? "

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other and sighed after a long silence.

"Why sigh?"

"Your Majesty, I will tell you the truth." Li Chunfeng, the imperial historian in charge of the Tianjian, said, "as early as four or five years ago, that is, on a certain day in the winter of the tenth year of Zhenguan, a demon star broke through the sky and came into the world."

"Why not?" Li Shimin looks at Li Chunfeng coldly.

"The reason is simple." Li Chun said, "Wei Chen didn't find it at that time, but later, by chance, he just found out."

"Who is the demon star?" Li Shimin asked directly.

Li Chunfeng lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at Li Shimin, but his lips shook unnaturally and didn't answer.

"Is it Qin mubai?" Li Shimin asked and answered himself. His face was heavy and he said in a deep voice, "is he a demon star who brings disaster to the country and the people? Is he a demon star who is bad for the state of Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head, arched his hand and said, "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Li Shimin frowned, and regal power appeared and said, "are you afraid of revealing your fortune or what? Have you forgotten that I am the son of heaven, and I can decide life and death in an instant? "

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I really don't know." Li Chunfeng forced himself to be calm and modest, but not humble, and said, "Weichen and elder martial brother yuan practice together. Weichen is good at divination and fighting with Ziwei. He can deduce the fate of Tianyan. But I don't know whether this demon star is good or bad for our country. "

"Since the demon star is born to bring disaster to the country and the people, what else can we say?" Li Shimin said, "in this case, I will kill him under an order to get rid of future troubles!"

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Yuan Tiangang suddenly raised his hand and said in a loud voice.

"What does Mr. Yuan have to say?" Li Shimin put his hands on his belly and squinted at him.

"As it has been said in ancient times, happiness lies in misfortune, and misfortune lies in happiness." Yuan Tiangang said, "Your Majesty, I have never met Qin mubai, and I have no chance to meet him. However, I once criticized the people around him. ""Tell me." Li Shimin said, "Mr. Yuan's criticism of fortune telling has all come true. It is like a fairy, and it should be all right."

"For the first time in my life, I was not accurate when I met Qin Shubao, Qin mubai's father." Yuan Tiangang said, "as early as a few years ago, the poor way had been reckoned that the Duke of Dingyi was only fifty years old. The lamp was withered and his limbs were disabled. He vomited blood and died in his native place. However, he lived to be 55 years old and died in Gaochang for his country. "

"What does that mean?" Li Shimin asked.

"Don't worry, your majesty. Listen to me again." Yuan Tiangang said, "thirteen years ago, I gave a child a face-to-face reprimand. If he was born as a daughter, he would take Li Tang Jiangshan as his substitute. Unfortunately, she's a boy. "

"Woman? Take Li Tang Jiangshan and replace him? " Li Shimin couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Yuan, your joke is overdone."

"Your Majesty can take this as a joke, because it will never come true again." Yuan Tiangang took a sip of tea and said, "this is the most inaccurate hexagram in my life."

"What do you say?" Li Shimin doubts.

"I once calculated that if she was a woman, she would be selected into the harem to serve the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for two generations. Finally, Si Chen, the hen, would take her place and kill most of the emperor's sons." Yuan Tiangang said, "moreover, this is the number of days. There is no way to avoid. Your majesty killed him. He will still take Li Tang and replace him, or 30 years later, 50 years later, that's all. This is the star of fortune, irreversible

"Isn't Mr. Yuan contradicting himself?" Li Shimin said, "you just said it. It's impossible."

"It's not contradictory at all." Yuan Tiangang twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "in fact, I made a mistake. In fact, that child is really a girl disguised as a man! In other words, Li's family will inevitably fall into her hands, and Her Majesty's Dragon son and grandson will also die in her hands! "

"I'm confused. What are you trying to say? " Li Shimin frowned, slightly sulky.

"What I want to say is that a few years ago, your majesty really wanted to recruit this girl into the harem, but it didn't come true. It is precisely because of this that the Tang Dynasty has lost the chance to change its master to a more prosperous one, and it has also blocked a catastrophe for his Majesty's Dragon sons and grandsons. " Yuan Tiangang said.

Li Shimin was stunned and couldn't help staring: "do you mean Wu Zhao! "

"Yes."

Li Shimin immediately looked suspicious and said: "according to Mr. Yuan's meaning, that is Qin mubai, the demon star, who solved the doom for Li Jiahua?"

"That's what it means." Yuan Tiangang's eyes were burning. He looked Li Shimin's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, arsenic is very poisonous. It's still good for curing diseases. Poison wine is very fragrant. It's rotten to the liver and intestines. As younger martial brother Chunfeng said, it's hard to say whether this demon star is a blessing or a curse. It's like a sharp blade. The perpetrators use it to do evil, and the good doers use it to reward and punish evil. "

"You've been talking for a long time, but you haven't said anything!" Li Shimin snorted and said, "I'm not happy.".

"Heaven's will is unpredictable. I can't say for sure." Li Chunfeng took the words and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be indecisive, and you don't have to listen to our Fang Shi's words and deal with state affairs."

"I'm not old enough to do that." Li Shimin sighed again and said, "I'm sorry. In fact, it's just going out of the palace to relax. Although the Imperial Palace was large, there was no one who knew each other after he went to the empress fairy. In the Manchu Dynasty, there was a growing gap between the civil and military officials and me, and I couldn't hear the truth. I am also confused and helpless. Therefore, I want to ask heaven to buy divination, and I want to know what happened in the Tang Dynasty? In recent years. There were frequent wars and chaos at the disaster level, and gods and ghosts danced in the imperial court. Am I really old and useless? Is it time to abdicate? "

"Your Majesty is young, ambitious, well governed and praised by all the people. Why belittle yourself?" Yuan Tiangang said, "in ancient times, there was a cycle of natural law, and Yin and Yang complemented each other. In the world of Huang and Huang, there was no rule from chaos to chaos. In the Tang Dynasty, which had been in Chengping for more than ten years, it was inevitable that the four fields were restless, and the people and money were wasted. But it is. Such chaos is not necessarily a bad thing. If you compare this Kyushu world to a person, not getting sick does not mean that there is no accumulation of lesions. If the lesions accumulate to a certain extent, they will break out and fall ill If you don't get sick for a long time, the accumulated lesions are too many and the time is too long, once the outbreak occurs, it may be an incurable severe and incurable disease. At this time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still strong, and your majesty is still in power. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to cure the disease? Do you have to wait for it to be overstocked for a hundred years, and I'll be sick to the marrow of the Tang Dynasty? "

Li Shimin's eyebrows sank, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he fell into meditation.

After a long time. He said, "Mr. Yuan, according to you, it is Qin mubai, the demon star, who inspires the latent lesions of the Tang Empire in advance?"

"Why not?" Yuan Tiangang said, "from the immediate point of view, he stirred up war by telling stories, trapped the world in chaos, and killed the army and the people in war. He is indeed a devil of the troubled times. But in the long run, the wars he started now will be faced by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later. At this time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still strong. Your majesty knows that you are in charge of the world. Just imagine, if these wars happened a hundred years later, when the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was declining, what would it be like? "Li Shimin's expression did not change, but Mei tip trembled unconsciously.

"Your Majesty, in recent years, the emperor's star has been in the dark and the demon's star has been passing through the rainbow, but the emperor's star has not declined half a cent because of this." Li Chunfeng then said, "it's only because the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can't be established, and His Majesty's mind is in a state of uncertainty. However, the demon star is in a state of confusion in the Star Palace at this time. But sooner or later, it will benefit the emperor, such as Fu and Bi! "

"Have you agreed? What did Qin mubai do for you? " Li Shimin looked at the two men like a torch and said, "you often talk about the words' secrets can't be revealed '. How can you say so much to me today?"

With a bitter smile, Li Chunfeng arched his hand and said, "isn't it because your majesty is the real son of heaven and has the right to live or kill? Weichen and elder martial brother yuan are just fangye warlocks who live by their mouths. They are not half immortals in the world that people exaggerate and spread by word of mouth. We are also afraid of death

"Ha ha!" Li Shimin finally burst out laughing, "not bad! After listening to God's strange birthday for a long time, I finally heard a big truth! ——I don't care what you said or whether you revealed any secret. Today, I came out to relax. Well, it's time for me to go back to the palace. My precious emperor should have been out of his mind for a long time. If I don't go back to the palace to take charge of the overall situation, I'll be in a mess! "

"To your majesty!" They got up to see each other off.

Li Shimin went to the door, turned back suddenly, and frowned at Yuan Tiangang. He said, "Mr. Yuan, why don't you meet me? How many years can I live? "

"Your Majesty is the son of heaven, not a mortal. I can't see your Majesty's face." Yuan Tiangang was calm.

"Ho -" Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang with a dumb smile, shaking his head and sighing, "Mr. Yuan often regards himself as an expert from other places. It seems that he is just a quack Warlock."

With a smile, Yuan Tiangang bent down and prayed, "Your Majesty, don't excite me. I have said all that I should say. "

"Well I'm also clear that you've never talked about anything but trifles, and you don't really tell the truth. For example, things like "pushing back" are hidden from me Li Shimin gave them a sharp glance. He said nothing more and left with his sleeve and robe.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang suddenly looked at each other in cold sweat, and they came back for a long time.

"Younger martial brother, you are going to leave again. The emperor's star is dim and uncertain, and the fate of the country can't be predicted. The different stars are like demons and gods, and the Chinese spirit is mysterious You and I don't understand the mystery! However, it seems that your majesty is quite dissatisfied with you and me. Ah Yuan Tiangang said.

"I have nothing to do Well, elder martial brother, leave Guanzhong first! ——Where is elder martial brother planning to travel? "

“…… Lanzhou

As soon as Li Shimin rode down Zhongnan mountain and walked around Chang'an City, he entered the city quietly from the sparsely populated Yanping gate when Chang'an was about to close its gate. Then he led the horse alone on the aisle of the store, and the horse hoofed. The mood repeats.

Here we go. From a distance, we can see that the halberd on twelve sides stands at the Xun gate.

There are no people. The gate was half closed and silent.

"Zhia", Li Shimen pushed the door in, and a little bit of green brick dust fell on the top of the eaves, which fell on his black Shachen head.

"In Shubao's family, such a grand courtyard of founding officials did not even have glazed tiles covered?" Li Shimin can't help but stop to wait and see. He looks like he was out of date a few years ago. Nothing has changed. There are no waterside pavilions without buildings. Apart from simplicity, what is about to emerge is the unique vigor and vitality of Junwu aristocratic family.

Li Shimin can't help feeling hurt.

"Shubao, you have been following me for more than 20 years. You have made great achievements in fighting, but you have also saved me from danger several times..." In a low voice, Li Shimin's voice was slightly choked, "I'm sorry for you You are old and sick. I also asked you to throw your head and blood on the expedition, and finally you were killed in the battle, and your bones were not returned I There's nothing to be ashamed of! "

Just then, a government servant came running from the inner house, wiping his tears. At first sight, he didn't know Li Shimin. But it seems that his popularity is extraordinary, and he knows that he is by no means easy, so he carefully says, "where can I come from? What can I do for you? "

"To the Duke of the wing." Li Shimin said with a smile and handed the bridle to the servant.

The servant hesitated to take over the reins and asked, "may I have your name? The villain also returns home to welcome the hospitality. The head of the family died in a strange land, but he only set up a spiritual throne, so They did not inform their relatives and friends to come to express their condolence. There was no entertainment at home. If there is anything wrong, please respect Haihan. "

"Return to the master, say I'm an old friend of Shubao. I'm here to express my condolence. I don't have to be entertained. " Li Shimin said.

"So If you'll excuse me, please... "

Following the official servant, Li Shimin went to the main hall.

In fact, there was no mourning in the mansion. There was only a mourning hall in the middle room. The pivot was dark, bitter and pure white. On the first one, there was a tablet of Qin Shubao, offering incense niche and candles.When Li Shimin just walked to the door, he was surrounded by a group of weeping Qin family members. They were all shocked.

"Your majesty

Qin Tong and Qin bin, the two legitimate sons of the Qin family, kneel down in a hurry to welcome them. The heartbroken mother of Qin, Liu Shi and Shuanger, also struggle to get up, ready to kowtow.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin fell to his knees in front of Qin Shubao's pivot with a plop and hissed: "Shubao! Take your time! ——Shimin, here you are! "

"Ba Ba Ba", three loud heads!

"Your Majesty, if you don't sacrifice your husband or wife, you can't do anything about it!" The Qin family were frightened and came to help them in a hurry.

"Don't help me!" Li Shimin yelled, "this is not the court hall, and I am not a king today! I just come to express my condolence for my good brother, who let me feel ashamed and never get paid for my whole life! "

"Ba Ba Ba" is another big three.

The Qin family cried out. Bow back and kowtow.

Li Shimin fell on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. Qin family, of course, did not dare to get up.

"Shubao, Shubao The twelve halberds of the Xun clan and the eighteen victories of the desert are your credit, and the Tang Dynasty owes you. The rich family has no colored tiles, and the family has heroes. You repay me, and I owe you... " Li Shimin fell on the ground. Long voice chanting Oh, voice trembling - "this life, you let me, what to return?"

"What can I do for you?"

Almost roaring!
