[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

However, this time, the magistrate of Xicheng had a serious expression on his face.After exchanging greetings as usual, Yixin stood aside, seeing the county magistrate hesitant to speak: "Xuanling, you said you..."

Fang Xuanling waved his hand: "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, let's regard today as my father and son's farewell party."

The county magistrate sighed: "The Sui Dynasty hasn't died yet, why did you..."

Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea and said with a slight smile, "Yes, but it looks like I'm going to run out of breath, not to mention you know that even if it's Sui Busheng, His Majesty won't use me today."

No one understands the meaning of Fang Xuanling's words better than the county magistrate of Xicheng. Fang's family is a scholarly family, and Fang Xuanling even worshiped the East Palace Yuqiwei. Ninth grade, but in the end he is a Beijing official.Regrettably, Fang Xuanling's luck was really bad. Emperor Wendi's eldest son, Yang Yong, the prince of the East Palace, was actually deposed.

As a staff member of the Eastern Palace, even if he was just an extremely small official, Fang Xuanling was still affected, and his originally good career was ruined like this.

It is an eternal truth that one emperor and one courtier. The current emperor Yang Guang killed his elder brother with his own hands, and of course he would not allow Yang Yong's former staff to take power.

Fang Xuanling looked at the county magistrate's tangled expression, and said comfortingly: "Of course, this is only one of the reasons. His Majesty's tyranny today is not the master in my heart. If I, Fang Xuanling, are really determined to assist someone, I will definitely have no reservations." , Your Majesty can't tolerate me, and I can't look down on him either."

The county magistrate was so scared that he almost spat out tea, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Xuanling, be careful, be careful."

Xin Xin listened silently, whether it was before or now, and no matter how much Li Chengqian disliked seeing Fang's father and son, Xin Xin always admired Fang Xuanling's character.

The two talked for a while, and seeing that Fang Xuanling had made up his mind, the county magistrate could only sigh: "In troubled times, a capable minister should choose a good leader to live in. Since you have already made up your mind, I don't want to." I will force you to stay, remember, be careful in everything."

After the county magistrate left, Fang Xuanling called Xinxin to him, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes: "Zhier, would you like to follow me to Weibei?"

Xin Xin already had the answer in her heart, but she still wondered, "Aye, do you want to?"

Fang Xuanling sighed in a low voice: "Aye will take you to meet the brave Li Shimin you mentioned." Hearing this name again, Xinxin couldn't help trembling.

In the early morning of the next day, the three members of the Fang family embarked on their way to the Weibei Army.Yixin sat on the slightly bumpy carriage, and saw many beggars along the official road along the way, most of them were ragged and emaciated, and most of them were old people and children.

Yixin had never seen such a scene before, he looked at the mustache in his arms, and was about to distribute it to those hungry people, but Fang Xuanling held down his hand.

"Aye?" Yixin looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise, "I want to share this cake with them."

Fang Xuanling's smile was a bit bitter: "Stupid boy, even if you divide up a piece of cake, how many people can you help? There are so many hungry people along the way, if you give one, the hungry people will swarm up. By then , what can you do?"

Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and put away the biscuits, and asked unwillingly, "Are you going to die without saving?"

Fang Xuanling patted his head: "Zhi'er, you can't even protect yourself, so why are you talking about helping the people? You have to remember that we went to Weibei to join Li Shimin, not for the sake of A food and clothing, but for one day, there will be no more hungry people on the official road, and those children who are now sallow and emaciated can have enough food in the world."

Yixin was shocked by the firmness in Fang Xuanling's eyes, and he murmured: "I understand."

The carriage drove the three of them galloping all the way. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Xin Xin, who was originally born in the reign of Wude, would never have imagined the scene of starvation everywhere described in the history books.

However, even though the folks have become so depressed, His Majesty's behavior has not restrained himself in the slightest. He was drunk and dreamed of dying in Jiangdu all day long, completely forgetting that not long ago, he spent huge manpower and material resources to build Luoyang.

In the evening of that day, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the driver rushed to Fang Xuanling and said, "Your Majesty, the front is Governor Li's barracks, I'm afraid the carriage cannot pass."

Fang Xuanling waved his hands and said, "It's okay." He got off the carriage, looked at the solemn military camp under the twilight, and took Xin Xin's hand: "Zhier, let's go to the military camp."

As expected, when the two reached the gate of the barracks, they were stopped by the guards: "Who is coming? Tell us your name."

"My surname is Fang, my first name is Qiao, and my name is Xuanling. I am here to ask to see the chief governor."

The guard had never seen such a bold person, who dared to come to the barracks alone with his young son.

"Fang Qiao?" The guard repeated coldly, "I've never heard of it. Are you a spy sent by the enemy?"

Fang Xuanling didn't speak, just looked at the guard with a smile on his face, he waved his hand uncomfortably, and motioned to the left and right to tie up Fang's father and son, and ordered: "Quickly go and inform Duan Juntou, just say arrest him." There are two secret workers, one big and one small, living here."

Yixin raised her eyes to look at Fang Xuanling, seeing that he still looked confident, her heart fell back into her stomach when she raised it.

When Duan Zhixuan came, he saw two tied up people, one of them was smiling, not afraid at all, and the younger one was neither crying nor making trouble, showing some posture.

Duan Zhixuan was not an ordinary guard, he immediately judged, looking at the manner of the two of them dressed, it must not be a spy.

After thinking about this point, Duan Zhixuan's tone became gentler: "I don't know if this gentleman came to my right army tent, what is the so-called?"

Fang Xuanling chuckled: "I have heard that Governor General Li invites sages and guests from all over the world. Didn't you think that this is your way of hospitality?"

Fang Xuanling has always been known for being articulate, and when he speaks, there is a lot of arrogance in it.Duan Zhixuan also had a vague premonition that the person in front of him was definitely not a thing in the pool.He hastily said in a gentle voice: "There are some rough men in the barracks, and they are used to being arrogant and unscrupulous. Please don't take offense, sir." After speaking, he personally untied Fang Xuanling and Xinxin.

The two were brought to Li Shimin's military tent.Duan Zhixuan said outside the tent: "Grand Governor, there is a person who came to recruit your disciple."

After talking for a long time, there was no answer. Duan Zhixuan was about to shout again, but at the next moment, Li Shimin raised the curtain and greeted him personally.
