Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 854 The children of the Li family!
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning with a smile.

However, Li Shimin, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, Li Yuanji, who was twelve years old, and Li Zhiyun, all looked at their sister in surprise. Li Shimin even asked directly in a low voice: "Brother, is that the legendary Luo family? They Arrived in Chang'an?"

Li Jiancheng smiled warmly and said, "Who else can it be? Of course it's Luo."

Immediately, several exclamations resounded in the hall. Li Jiancheng quickly raised his hand and whispered: "Lower your voice and don't make it known. Now is not the same as before."

Although Li Xiuning is a woman, she is full of heroic spirit. When she heard that her fiancée came to the door, although she was a little shy, she still asked Li Jiancheng in a generous manner: "Brother, even though we have been apart for many years, if you are still alive, you should make a promise." .

Since Mrs. Luo has sent me a greeting card, I, Mrs. Li, will naturally welcome the distinguished guests into my residence. "

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin nodded when they heard this, but Li Yuanji curled his lips but said nothing. Li Zhiyun was a little confused and just watched the fun.

Li Jiancheng said warmly: "My father and mother are not here, so your sister-in-law and I have the final say in the household.

Brothers, please don't disgrace me, Mr. Li. Please first invite Mr. Luo's distinguished guests to come to my house. After my father comes back, we can discuss the wedding date.

All of you, please remember that this is your sister’s future husband’s family. I, the Li family, am a high-ranking family member who knows etiquette. Don’t do anything rude, especially the fourth brother. I will not forgive you for bringing down your sister’s face. you.

Luo Su looked at Li Jiancheng again.

The hall was very quiet, and only her voice could be heard. Luo Su smiled and said: "Little girl, we meet again. I told you that day that I would give you a marriage, are you still willing?
Luo Shi never forces anything, it’s all about yourself. "

Cleaning the street in front of the house and sprinkling some dust-reducing water, Li's house was busy inside and outside. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were waiting in front of the house, looking at the end of the street.

Not long after, they saw a carriage approaching and stopped in front of the Li Mansion. Brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other and knew that this was the Luo family, so they hurriedly greeted it.

For Li Xiuning, the memory of more than ten years ago is something she can never forget. From death to life, it will be unforgettable.

Li Jiancheng said sternly: "Xiu Ning is in her twenties and has never been married. She is just waiting for Luo to marry her. For the sake of Xiu Ning's marriage, even Shimin's marriage was delayed. This must be my Li's attitude. "

Luo Xuanye stopped the car and saw the two people standing in front of the door. He whispered: "Old ancestors, Mr. Li is waiting at the door to greet them."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both returned the greeting and said, "My dear daughter, be well!"

Li Xiuning saluted Luo Sufuli, and then said seriously: "Li Xiuning, pay homage to our ancestors."

quiet!
There was deathly silence, and everyone in the Li family stood stunned.

The group of people surrounded Luo Su and walked into the mansion. Everyone in Li's mansion looked at Luo Su and the three of them with curiosity. The reason was naturally not the sacred marks, which were covered by Luo Xuanjing and hidden by Luo Su and Luo Xuanye.

The three people who appeared in front of her now seemed to have not changed much. The ancestor who gave her the jade still had the same face. The Luo girl from back then had become a graceful and graceful woman. She was now a peerless and charming woman. As a son of the Luo family, his face is a bit more stern, but his eyebrows are still pretty.

Luo Xuanjing stood on the front pedal of the car and said with a slight blessing: "I have met the two young masters."

The Li family was able to maintain their promise to marry back the eldest son even when he lost power and could not provide much help. This was a plus for the Luo family.

Li Shimin smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, sister, don't worry. Aren't you still worried about me?"

He is the third son of Luo Chengxian, the current head of the Luo family. His name is Xuanye and his courtesy name is Qingyang. Chengxian is the 62nd generation grandson of my Luo family, and Xuanye is the 63rd generation grandson.

I am the great-great-grandson of King Su and the regent of the Zhou Dynasty. You descendants usually call me 'Luo Wengong'. "

Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning both smiled when they heard this. Yes, Erlang of the Li family. Anyone who has seen him will not fail to admire him. This younger brother is so outstanding that it is terrifying.

Luo Su is the kind of person who looks very young, but will never make people feel young. There is no sense of violation in calling him "ancestor". Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin bowed deeply this time. Said: "The Li family is built, the people of the Li family pay homage to their ancestors, and may they be safe and blessed."

……

When they entered the hall, Li Jiancheng's wife Zheng had already prepared a sumptuous banquet. His wife was from the Zheng family in Xingyang and was considered one of the top sects in Shandong.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Luo Su nodded slightly. He knew that Li Yuan was not here, but it was not a big problem. Li Jiancheng was already very old. It was just a marriage and he could make the decision.

The real reason is that the looks of the three of them are too top-notch. In the past, the looks of the brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, and Li Shimin were considered to be top-notch, but now it seems that they are not as good as the three in front of them.

Since you have entered my Luo family, you should know my identity and serve me tea.

The eldest son and the second son of the Li family are waiting outside the door. Even in Chang'an City, there are not many people who have this qualification.

Li Xiuning glanced at Luo Xuanye and said, "Xiuning accepted your jade, naturally, but according to the instructions of the ancestors."

Luo Xuanjing said with a sweet smile: "We all know what the eldest son said. Our ancestors are very satisfied with the marriage of the Changsun family. The Luo family does not like those families who dislike poverty and love wealth."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin saw the car curtain opened, revealing a pretty woman with graceful eyebrows and a black ribbon tied between her eyebrows, which fell together with the black hair, reflecting her skin like snow.

After Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning were confirmed, Luo Su sat on the main seat in a grand manner and said: "In this case, let's finalize this matter today. Xiuning, the husband I have chosen for you is the one beside you. people.

Luo Xuanjing helped Luo Su out and said crisply: "This is the ancestor of my Luo family."

For a family like the Li family, political marriage is a must, such as the marriage between Li Jiancheng and the Zheng family.

Of course, the Changsun family was one of the high-ranking families in the Sui Dynasty, but the two brothers and sisters Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugao were truly lonely.

This time Luo Xuanye knew that Li Xiuning would be his wife in the future, so he restrained all his momentum and looked just a little cold.

Is this the girl’s future husband’s family?
The future uncle must also be very good-looking.

Second brother, you come with me to greet the guests. Among the people who come is the ancestor of the Luo family. We are going to meet him as a junior, do you know? "

After twelve or thirteen years, Li Xiuning finally met Luo Su and the others again.

Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. In some respects, he was a typical aristocratic child. He had been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and liked a group of people to gather together to play various games. Of course, he was good at studying, but for the way of sages He is not proficient at it. It can even be said that when asked about the mystery of the scriptures, his eyes darken. He is filled with a kind of native vitality, as if he has countless energy. Now when he hears Luo talking about his marriage, he can't bear to He couldn't help but smile.

For him, marriage can be a boost, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. He has known since he was a child that in the future, the title of Tang Guogong will be the eldest brother. He doesn't even care about this. He will use bows and horses to serve himself like his ancestors. Earn merit.

Luo Su and others naturally knew about the Li family, including these in-laws.

Only Luo Xuanjing's voice sounded at the right time, "Teacher of King Zhou Zhao, the second sage king of Zhou Dynasty, founder of Zhou Zhao's rule, canonized by all the kingdoms of Xia, person who saved Zhou Dynasty, number one civil servant in three generations, and a scholar of hundreds of schools of thought The sages of the Xia Dynasty.

She was extremely tall and beautiful, with a long swan neck and a curvy figure. Even wearing a maid's uniform could not hide her heroic spirit. Her eyebrows seemed to be blooming with flowers. Just from her face, she could tell that she was a pretty girl. A strong woman.

The most trusted son of the Su Wang ancestor, the Luo family.

Thanks to the grace of King Su, a heroic spirit came to this world to uplift the great cause. "

These heavy hammers hit everyone's hearts, just like listening to a myth, which completely shattered people's imagination. An ancient man 1,500 years ago, and the kind of person who was completely deified, is now like this in front of them.

Just kidding.

Li Jiancheng opened the corners of his mouth slightly, wanting to smile.

But reason was telling him and everyone else, why would Luo tell this lie?

This is completely unnecessary!

Luo Xuanye tugged on Li Xiuning's sleeve. This was the first time that Li Xiuning saw Luo Xuanye's eyes.

Those pupils were still cold, but this time she looked into those eyes. After thousands of years of cold rivers, there was no ice there. On the contrary, there were birds singing, flowers fragrant, and the warmth of the sun.

She understood what Luo Xuanye meant.

She knelt down in front of Luo Su again with a puff, kowtowed heavily, then took the tea from Luo Xuanye's hand, placed it on her forehead, and said in a clear voice: "Li family Xiuning, pay homage to our ancestors."

Not only Li Xiuning, but everyone else knelt down. Luo Wengong was included in the sacrifices of all dynasties. Now that he saw the real person, how could he not worship him.

Don't talk about them, even if their father Li Yuan is here, he has to kneel down.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen, please pay me your respects!"

Luo Su laughed loudly. He took the tea and tasted it. Luo Xuanjing smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please get up. We came in a hurry and didn't bring anything valuable.

This ceremonial sword was given to you by King Jing of Zhou Dynasty and was given to your mansion. This jade was used by the princes and prime ministers in the Zhou Dynasty to pray to heaven. This bamboo slip was given by Emperor Renzong of Han Dynasty Xiaohui. Given, this is the authentic work of Emperor Renzong of the Han Dynasty Xiaohui.

There are also gold, pearls, jade, silver, money, and cloth as betrothal gifts. I hope your family will not disapprove of them. "

dislike?

Mrs. Zheng looked at the gift list and was already a little dumbfounded. She couldn't help but look at Li Jiancheng, but she saw that Li Jiancheng was also sluggish. This scene made people couldn't help but recall the legendary Luo style.

What a generous act.

Everyone finally recovered from Luo Wengong's shock, and then they were shocked by the generous betrothal gift. Luo Xuanjing said with a smile: "This betrothal gift was specially prepared by our ancestors, and your mansion does not need to return a gift of the same value." , otherwise it wouldn’t be beautiful.”

Not to mention marriage within the clan, when marrying a woman from outside the family, the Luo family generally does not give too expensive a dowry. The main reason is that the other party cannot return the dowry.

Li Jiancheng and others smiled bitterly. In terms of gold, silver, pearls and jade, the Duke of Tang Dynasty is certainly worthy of the title. However, each of these precious cultural relics can increase the family heritage. For the Duke of Tang Dynasty, which has just emerged for several generations, it is simply impossible. Can find it.

They are not a royal family. If they were a royal family and conquered the world, there would probably be something of similar value to these in the treasure house.

Even Li Yuanji, who had always been arrogant, has calmed down a bit now, muttering to himself that this brother-in-law's family seems to be a bit serious. He still doesn't understand the status of Luo Wengong, but Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.

After all the etiquette was over, Li Yuanji still refused to give up his eagerness and asked Luo Xuanye: "Brother-in-law, my sister likes to be armed. She likes those mighty warriors. Can you do it?"

Luo Xuanjing narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Isn't this what my fifth brother is best at?

Luo Xuanye tried his best to speak gently: "It should be possible."

Luo Su chatted casually with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and felt that Li Yuan's two sons were very good, at least not worse than Li Yuan. This made Luo Su immediately realize that something was wrong.

Even if Luo loses the blessing of his ancestors, there is no guarantee that I will be a hero and my son will be a good man. Talent is the fairest thing. The father may be extremely top-notch, but when it comes to his son, he becomes a fool.

Although Luo Su once said that he looked down on Li Yuan, it did not mean that Li Yuan was inferior. He just did not have the ability to become the founding king. As a minister, he was quite qualified, whether it was to maintain the family's wealth or to make great achievements. , no problem.

Moreover, Li Yuan's main problem is his character. He has no tolerance for others, values ​​family status, and is relatively narrow-minded.

But now Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are no worse than Li Yuan. Together with Li Xiuning, the children of the family are all outstanding people. This situation, in history, is usually a precursor to the rise of the family.

But now, Luo Su knew that the world was about to enter troubled times, and after the demise of the Sui Dynasty, there would be a new master in the world.

Luo Su thought to himself that if Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning were outstanding people in the Li family, Li Yuan might not have a chance to seize the world. And now that Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning were married, if the Li family wanted to seize the world, then Luo Su would Xuan Ye's character must be to help Li.

Luo Su knew that although Luo Xuanye was not very talented in politics, he was extremely powerful and could definitely charge into battle. He could also train as a commander of the front army.

Moreover, Li Yuan was born in the high sect of Guanlong. If the Yang family loses the world, then Li Yuan is likely to be selected by the high sect of Guanlong. Coupled with the original prestige of the Li family, Li Yuan is very likely to win Guanzhong, and finally form the Western Qin Dynasty. situation. Once that situation is formed.

hiss.

The more Luo Su thought about it, the more he felt that he would not really allow a boy like Li Yuan to become the founding king. If he became the founding king, it would simply lower the bottom line of the founding king.

Luo Su recalled in his mind the heroes he had seen along the way, and on a whim he wanted to take a look at Li Yuan's sons.

Hearing that Luo Wengong wanted to see a few of them, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin immediately became energetic. Even though these people did not know that Luo Su had decided to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, they were able to show it in front of Luo Wengong, which was something ordinary people could not do. and.

Li Yuanji excitedly brought a few people to the school field. The children of the Li family were all proficient in bow and horse. Even Li Yuanji, who was only twelve years old, showed off for a while after entering the field. He is quite good at equestrian skills, and even wields a pair of sledgehammers with great force.

Luo Su could tell at a glance that this Li Yuanji was born with supernatural power. Such a person would definitely be a fierce general in the future. And he was from a general like Li. It was easy to obtain three armies but hard to find a general. His future future was limitless.

Li Xiuning and Luo Xuanjing stood beside Luo Su, pointing to Li Shimin who was riding and shooting in the school field and said: "Old ancestor, my second brother, when he was young, a fortune teller said that he has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. The watch of the sun will be able to help the world and bring peace to the people in the future, so my father changed his name to Shimin."

"The posture of dragon and phoenix, the appearance of the sky and the sun."

Luo Su looked at Li Shimin. From the first time he saw Li Shimin, he could feel the strong martial spirit in him. He was not old, but there was a kind of strength in his eyes, which was a kind of native vitality. This kind of vitality is so strong that the people on the grassland are barbaric.

But Li Shimin is obviously not. He has good control and is very polite, but it can be seen at a glance that he is not the kind of person who clings to books and reads the ways of sages. No wonder fortune tellers say that he can help the world and bring peace to the people, as long as he is a little Anyone with discernment can see that Li Shimin is a talent.

What about Luosu?
Now Luo Su just wants to know Li Shimin's heart.

There are too many talented people in this world. Doesn’t Yang Guang have any talent?

Or was it that the original Han Emperor had no talent?

Of most people Luo Su has ever seen in this world, only King Zhou Li is a real waste.

Li Shimin was riding on his horse, with only the target in his eyes. He had always been confident in his bow and arrows, and sure enough, he shot a series of arrows without missing a single arrow.

This led to bursts of cheers, and even Luo Xuanye couldn't help but look sideways. His brother-in-law was really good at archery.

Luo Su called Li Shimin to him, looked him up and down, and deliberately praised him: "What a brave and brave man. When you grow up, I'm afraid you will be able to use force to quell the chaos in the world."

Li Shimin had not yet recovered from the high-frequency movements just now, and said directly: "The world cannot be pacified by force alone, otherwise the world would not be in such chaos now."

After speaking, he realized what he was saying and looked at Luo Su nervously. Luo Su laughed loudly after hearing this and asked, "Then tell me, why is the world in such chaos?"

Only then did Li Shimin realize that Duke Wen was deliberately testing himself. He pondered for a moment and said: "Force is used to defeat the enemy, and it is the people who make the world chaotic. The people are not the enemy, so force cannot be used to stabilize the world.

The enemy is the one who turns the common people into chaos.

What turned the people into chaos was tyranny. The emperor did not use benevolence to govern the world, which resulted in this result. "

Li Shimin was the second person Luo Su met who spoke of benevolence. The first was Dou Jiande. It was precisely because Dou Jiande spoke of benevolence that Luo Su placed Dou Jiande above Li Yuan.

Luo Su asked again with great interest: "Then what do you mean by benevolence?"

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He scratched his head and said, "It's probably what Meng Sheng said. You can't treat the people as slaves."

He secretly thought in his heart that he must read those books carefully in the future, and the inability to memorize the classics will never happen again.

Luo Su smiled, and he naturally saw Li Shimin's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Those words written on paper do not necessarily have to be written down. What's the use of remembering too much but not doing it?
Although you can't remember many things, you can know the essence contained in them. This is enough. What you just said is very good. "

Unexpectedly, he was praised by Duke Wen, which was a great encouragement to the young Li Shimin.

……

"The Li family is really going to prosper."

When Luo Su left the Li Mansion, he looked at the prominent courtyard and said, "In the family, even Li Yuanji is quite good. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are both outstanding people, even better than I imagined.

Especially that Li Shimin, if he could continue to listen to advice, be tolerant of others, and have the spirit of not giving up in the face of setbacks, he would almost be a model of a holy king.

Li Jiancheng is also quite good, but he has little military talent.

I will continue to observe these people, and Chang'an will not leave for the time being. "

Luo Xuangjing asked in surprise: "Ancestor, if Yang Xuangan's army enters Guanzhong, do we really want to stay in this chaotic place?"

Luo Su smiled and said: "Yang Xuangan can't enter Chang'an. It won't be long before we hear the news of his defeat."

……

Luo Su's words were accurate. Yang Xuangan was known as the Hongnong Yang family, but he was unable to capture the Hongnong Palace. He was able to defeat him in his own commanding place. This incident could simply nail him to the pillar of shame.

During the process of entering Guanzhong, he actually attacked Hongnong Palace, which was also quite stupid.

he died.

What happened after his death proved that Yang Guang was not a human being, but a humanoid creature even more brainless than Yang Xuangan.

After Yang Xuangan's rebellion was put down, it was immediately reported that a direct descendant of the Luo family had met Yang Xuangan and said that the first thing he did when he returned to the south was to abolish the Sui Dynasty's destiny.

These words spread everywhere, and it was almost an uproar.

In this situation, Yang Guang said something that could be nailed to the pillar of shame, "Yang Xuangan raised his arms and shouted, there were one hundred thousand followers. Shandong bandits roared, and there were hundreds of thousands of followers. This shows that the Sui Dynasty had too many people. It’s time to kill some.”

As soon as these words came out, the court officials were dumbfounded.

What is the reason for this?
But the emperor's order was an imperial edict, and a massacre involving tens of thousands of people took place in Luoyang. The most outrageous thing was that all the people who had accepted Yang Xuangan's opening of warehouses to release grain were buried alive.

Yang Guang's mass killings indeed stabilized the government in a short period of time, but at the same time, officials in the court felt that the emperor was becoming more and more terrifying, and the trust between the emperor and his ministers had almost disappeared.

……

During the period of Yang Xuangan's rebellion and Yang Guang's chaos, Luo Su often met with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. Regular contact had made Luo Su familiar with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

At this time, Luo Su finally placed Li Yuan among the group of people who could compete for the world.

Although Li Yuan is not a good boy, he has a pair of good sons. Now he only needs one divine general, and the Li family is ready.

A divine general is necessary for the founding of a country, although people often say that fighting a war depends on logistics. If the logistics is strong, you can win.

But in fact, according to Luosu's understanding, in history, not many wars were actually won with logistics.

Logistics only gives a chance to support one side, allowing one force to make continuous mistakes, but logistics cannot truly bring victory.

When Henkel and King Xiang fought for the world, it could be said that it was a victory of logistics. But without Han Xin, the god of war, and the failure like the Battle of Pengcheng, how much logistics could Henkel have to sustain his failure?
Two times at most, Henkel’s so-called logistics will go bankrupt!
Li Shimin has the potential to be a commander, but Luo Su is not sure whether he can become the God of War.

It would take a real war to examine.

Li Yuan returned to Chang'an City. He had gained some of Yang Guang's trust and was sent to Taiyuan by Yang Guang to guard against the Turks. Before that, he returned to Chang'an to see his remaining relatives.

He planned to take his second son Li Shimin to Taiyuan.

During the second expedition to Liaodong, he lost his wife Dou, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.

When he walked into the mansion with his personal guards, he saw Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin who were about to leave. The two brothers couldn't believe that their father had suddenly returned.

"Dalang, Erlang, where are you going?"

Li Yuan was also a little confused.

In the hall.

After Li Yuan drank a cup of hot tea and listened to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin finish talking, he realized what happened while he was away.

"Father, where is mother? Hasn't she come back?"

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both looked around, wondering why their mother didn't come back with their father.

Li Yuan, who was excited because of the reappearance of Luo Su and others, instantly fell into depression. The two brothers, both of whom are very capable of observing words and emotions, immediately had a bad premonition and said anxiously: "Father!"

Li Yuan sighed: "Even now, as a father, I don't know how to tell you that your mother died of illness, alas."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were stunned in place for an instant, and tears almost immediately filled their eyes.

……

Funeral decorations were hung on Li's residence. Luo Xuanye attended this not-so-big funeral. Dou died on the way to conquer Liaodong. The emperor did not want to see these funerals. Li Yuan could only suppress his grief in his heart. .

The marriages of Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning, as well as Li Shimin and Chang Sunshi, will naturally be postponed.

However, Confucianism in this world has been severely revised, and there is no tradition of observing filial piety for several years.

Preparations can begin after three months.

After these were over, Li Yuan finally came to visit Luo Su. He had learned Luo Su's true identity from Li Jiancheng.

At first, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were a little skeptical, but later Luo Su completely convinced them with his omniscient knowledge.

Li Yuan did not expect that the Luo family he met casually on the road would turn out to be the legendary Wen Gong. He almost instantly remembered those rumors.

Is the Sui Dynasty really going to die?
That was what Duke Wen said.

He couldn't help but think.

Walking into the courtyard, Li Yuan saw Luo Su lying on the rocking chair under the tree, very relaxed. When Li Yuan walked in, Luo Su chuckled softly: "Tang Guogong, long time no see."

Li Yuan bowed.

----

Luo, Yuchi, Qin, and Cheng were fierce and brave, Luo Qingyang's energy penetrated the three armies, Yuchi Jingde's power collapsed and destroyed the mountain, Qin Shubao's horse and sword were alone, Cheng Zhijie stabbed in the formation, and the four generals were in the vanguard of King Qin. They were all enemies of ten thousand people! ——"The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties"
