Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Li Yuanji looked at the person with a sullen face, his expression extremely ugly: "Is Yang Lin dead?"

Li An timidly said: "Probably not, when I delivered the food two days ago, I was still alive."

Li Yuanji glared at him: "You are so kind, and you still deliver the meal yourself?"

The latter immediately said with a bitter face like a discouraged ball: "Sir, you must save me this time. I, Li An, will be with you for a long time. Don't you know me, San? How about it, but anyway, I didn’t do anything to offend you, Third Young Master. I always think about you. If you want to kill someone, I will sharpen your knife for you; Regarding Luo Shaobao's matter, I also diligently advised you...you can't give up on me."

Li Yuanji couldn't see that he was a big man with snot and tears all over his clothes, so he stretched out his hand and tore him away, throwing him on the ground: "What's going on, tell me."

Li An sneaked a glance at Li Yuanji, and said timidly like a little daughter-in-law: "I thought this pedestrian would definitely die in prison, so a few days ago, in the name of delivering food, I went... and ordered someone Go and search these people to see if there is anything valuable..."

Li Yuanji snorted coldly, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Li An, Li An, you are so courageous that you dare to search for the mountain king!"

Li An was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees: "Third Young Master, didn't I think you would definitely not let them out of the dungeon...Since you are a prince, at least you have some valuables on you...don't waste it."

"Who said I was going to kill them? If I really wanted to kill them, I would have killed them as early as when they entered the dungeon. How about waiting until now?"

Li An blinked, a little confused: "The third son... what do you mean?"

"Didn't you see the appearance of old man Yang Lin that day? It would be perfect to die in prison without getting medical treatment. If the emperor doesn't pursue it, let's pretend it's nothing. We haven't seen it at all. People in Dengzhou Prefecture, Yang Lin died in prison. If the emperor pursues it, then we are also thinking about the safety of the emperor. Who made Yang Lin eat the ambition and dare to trespass in the emperor's palace first? I am in Taiyuan The guards of the palace naturally put the emperor's safety first, and thought it was normal for them to be caught as traitors. Didn't I also make it clear that after the identification of their identities, they would be freed?"

"Oh...Third Young Master, you are really Zhuge alive, and you have predicted everything! You are even more amazing than Second Young Master, no, Second Young Master can't be as calculating as you... I really admire you so much..." Li An Immediately praised.

Only Li Yuanji responded with a guilty conscience: "That is, who is as brainless as you." After all, after he put people in the dungeon, he really forgot about these people. With Lin's appearance, he also thought that this person was going to die, but he didn't expect the old guy's life to be pretty big.

Li Ansheng was afraid of being abandoned by his master, so he quickly stepped forward and hugged Li Yuanji's calf and said, "Third Young Master, this person from Dengzhou Mansion came with an imperial decree this time, asking if Yang Lin is in our Taiyuan Mansion, what should we do?" How?"

Just relying on Li Yuanji's melon seeds, he really couldn't come up with any good ideas. At most, he was thinking of killing people to silence the people. If the Dengzhou government and the emperor's people asked, they would refuse to admit it.

While Li Yuanji was hesitating, he heard a low growl outside the door, and then a person came in, staring angrily, and slapped himself when he came up.

Who is coming?

It's Li Yuan's guitar daddy, Li Yuan!

It stands to reason that Li Yuan should be staying by Yang Guang's side with Li Shimin and Li Yuanba to protect Yang Guang all the way south. Why did he suddenly return to Taiyuan Mansion?

It all started when Yang Guang learned that Luo Cheng had turned his back on him.

After Yang Guang learned that Luo Cheng had surrendered to Wagang Village with hundreds of thousands of troops from Beiping Prefecture, Yang Guang could not sleep at night, like a frightened bird, terrified all day long, and his health was getting worse and worse.

An imperial decree summoned Yang Lin, the backer king of Dengzhou Prefecture, to come to see him, another imperial decree ordered Yuwen Chengdu to go to Peiping Mansion, razed Beiping Mansion to the ground, and killed the nine clans of the Luo family; the last imperial decree was to detain Li Yuanba by his side to protect himself , and let Li Yuan and Li Shimin go back to Taiyuan to recruit troops, expand the army, and be on standby at any time.

No, Li Yuan came back at the emperor's order to recruit soldiers and buy horses to resist the rebels.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Taiyuan City, he met people from Dengzhou Prefecture who brought the emperor's imperial edict into Taiyuan City and asked him for someone.

If the boss or the second is defending the city, he is not worried at all, but the third is defending the city... This is really uncertain!Who knows what stupid things that bastard will do?He has done a lot of messes, what else is he afraid of?

At the beginning, Li Yuan valued the third son, Li Yuanji, because of his domineering spirit, he was not afraid of anything, and he didn't pay attention to anything.He is neither indecisive like the boss nor unpredictable like the second child. Some extremely private and dirty things must be done by the third child.

Therefore, after Li Yuan managed to appease the people in Dengzhou Prefecture and let the second child accompany him, he walked into the inner room suspiciously, and heard the last two words - the brat was discussing with his subordinates about the future of Yang Lin, the king of the mountain. !

Li Yuan was furious immediately, unable to suppress his temper for a while, he pushed open the door and entered, and when he entered, he was slapped, making Li Yuanji's eyes stare.

Li Yuanji's eyes were gloomy at first, and his body exuded evil spirits. When he was about to get angry, he turned his head and saw that it was his father. He dared not speak out, and angrily turned his head aside, stubbornly, and said in a rough voice :"Father--"

"You evil beast, do you want to kill our whole family? Dare to do anything! In the past, how did you oppress the people and run rampant in the streets? I didn't expect to indulge your courage, and now you dare to detain even Yang Lin, the king of the mountain!"

Li Yuan was trembling with anger, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Li An who was kneeling beside him, he raised his foot again, kicked him to the corner, and cursed: "You are the naughty slave who encourages the third son to not do good things all day long. And Now that I have caused a catastrophe, even killing you a hundred times will not be enough to relieve my hatred."

When Li An heard this, he cried miserably, and he didn't dare to beg Li Yuan. Begging Li Yuan is not as effective as begging the third son.

Li Yuanji stroked the slap on the left side of his face with one hand, and clenched his fist into a fist with the other hand, hanging down to one side, he said coldly: "I caught the man, if anything happens, I will take care of it alone, and the Li family will not be hurt."

If he had a stick in his hand, Li Yuan really wanted to hit him with two sticks. Did you say that if you don't get involved, you won't get involved?You are the Li family after all!

At this moment, Li Shimin also entered the courtyard.When he was dealing with the people from Dengzhou government just now, he knew that things had changed.Seeing this posture at the moment, it's not good to have a secret, and the matter of blocking Yang Lin's messenger may be exposed.

"Say, tell me clearly! Why do you want to embarrass the people in Dengzhou Prefecture? The people in Dengzhou Prefecture said that before that, they had sent two groups of people to Taiyuan City to deliver letters, but they never returned. With Yang Lin personally going to Taiyuan Mansion. What is going on? Is it all related to you?"

Li Yuanji pursed his lips tightly, stubbornly not speaking.

Seeing that appearance, Li Yuan felt depressed for a while, and wished he could beat this evil person to death with a single stick.

Li Yuanji didn't speak, and naturally there were people who could speak. Li Yuan pointed his finger at Li An, who was kicked to the ground and was still lying on the ground panting heavily: "If your third son doesn't speak, then it's up to you, a dog!" said the slave."

Li An sneaked a glance at the third son, but found that the third son was staring at him viciously, so he quickly looked away in fright.Not to mention that he might die, but if he told the truth and involved Luo Shaobao, with the narrow-mindedness and ruthlessness of the third son, he would settle the score after the fact, even if he survived the present, he would definitely not be able to live in the future!

Thinking about it this way, Li An became cruel, and tightly controlled his mouth, allowing Li Yuan to ask questions without saying a word. As for his son, Li Yuan was reluctant to kill him, but the servant is different, he raised his foot and kicked him. , until people vomit blood.

Li Yuanji saw Li An's appearance of breathing in less and exhaling more, secretly worried: I said you are usually very clever?Can't you pretend to be dizzy?

Li Yuanji winked for a long time, and finally let Li An see it, but in the end, he might not be able to hold on anymore, so he passed out and was carried down.

Li Yuan asked for a long time, but couldn't pry Li Yuanji's mouth open, so he hated to punish him to kneel at the door.

Li Yuanji's appearance made Li Shimin a little impressed.You must know that the three idiots have a bad temper and are always self-centered, when did they favor one person so much.At this moment, even if his father scolded him and forced him to do this, he didn't want to involve Luo Cheng. It seemed that he was really concerned about Luo Cheng's younger brother.

When Li Yuanji went to kneel outside the door, there were only Li Shimin and Li Yuan in the study.

Li Shimin took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Father, in the current situation, I'm afraid that if you don't fight back, it will be all over."

Li Yuan frowned, and said slowly: "Let me think about it again."

Li Shimin saw that his father was no longer categorically refusing as usual, so he knew that he had also made a move, and he said persistently: "Father, do you see that the Great Sui world is still sitting firmly? There are uprisings everywhere, and the people are making trouble. Do you want to be loyal to the end and become an enemy of the people of the world?"

Li Yuan pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "But right now, Yuanba is still detained by the emperor's side..."

As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he knew that his father had really moved his mind, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't be in a hurry. Didn't the emperor send us back to Taiyuan to recruit troops and buy horses in case of emergencies? Let's put the emperor's order in front of us, what should we do?" Conscription is still conscription, weapons should be forged, and weapons should be forged... We may not revolt first, but we should prepare early."

Li Yuan thought for a while, and reluctantly said: "That's the only way, let's take a step and see."

In fact, Li Yuan is not as conservative and old-fashioned as Li Shimin and Li Yuanji have seen, he is only foolish and loyal.He has long been critical of the Sui Dynasty and the faint emperor Yang Guang, don't see you waiting to see me now, you need me!Don't forget who ambushed in the grove outside Chang'an City, planning to surround and kill my whole family!Yang Guang is moody and narrow-minded, definitely not a Mingjun.

But when he thought about it, he didn't show his thoughts at all. He knew very well that if he was a little careless, he would have to kill everyone. He could only plan in his heart.

Compared with the city mansion, Li Yuan is even worse than Li Shimin.After all, Li Shimin is young, and some things are too hasty, but Li Yuan is different, Li Yuan belongs to the kind of person who takes every step at every step and is cautious in every way.Listening to what the second child said now, this move is quite ruthless, using the emperor's order to talk things out and paving the way for himself is really exciting.

Li Shimin saw his father let go, and hit the iron while it was hot: "I see the matter of the third brother. In fact, I can't blame the third brother. A while ago, there were rumors in the city that the rebels planned to intercept and kill the emperor halfway? Our Li family should be more cautious. It's reasonable to be tighter, but Yang Lin, the king of the mountain, was also at fault. He didn't notify the post house, didn't wait for the emperor to summon him, and trespassed on the Jinyang Palace. No trace to be found."

Li Yuan sighed deeply: "What did the first two groups say?"

Li Shimin said: "I saw it, only Yang Lin and the others, and we really don't have any other people in Li's residence. Otherwise, let's open the door and let them come in to search the residence."

Li Yuan turned his head at this moment, looked at his second son, looked at it for a while, and made Li Shimin feel a little uneasy, thinking that his father must have guessed something.

Li Yuan looked at it for a while, then turned around and said: "Okay, then you help your younger brother up, let him take the blame, and apologize to Yang Lin. Yuan Ji is really not to blame for this matter, and Yang Lin is also at fault. "

Li Shimin worried: "Will the backer king let it go?"

Li Yuan snorted softly and said: "Right now, Yang Guang still needs my Li family. He will definitely not kill Yuan Ji, but at most he will suffer a little bit. This evil person should be taken care of, and let him eat some food." Lesson. Otherwise, no one dares to offend, and sooner or later something will happen."

Li Shimin stopped talking.

When Li Yuan and Li Shimin escorted Li Yuanji, who was bound by five flowers, to the dungeon to pick up Yang Lin and others, Yang Lin was really tossed to the brink of death, so he didn't have the energy to give Li Yuanji a few times.

For a while, no one bothered to question the crime.Everyone hurriedly carried Yang Lin out of the dungeon, put him in place, and invited the best doctor to check his pulse... In addition, Li Shimin pushed him into an inconspicuous corner intentionally or unintentionally, making everyone forget Li Yuanji who was beside him.

After resting for three days, Yang Lin finally got better, and the eunuch who delivered the decree couldn't wait any longer, and urged Yang Lin to follow him to see him.

No, Yang Lin hastily confronted Li Yuanji who was kneeling in the front yard, cursed a few times, and whipped him a few times. In front of Li Yuan, he didn't have the nerve to kill him. He asked him why he broke into Jinyang Palace without notifying the post house?This is blaming his own son.

Besides, people are not targeting you Yang Lin alone.Go to the dungeon and find out who was wronged by Li Yuanji, and you are just one of them.To put it bluntly, you deserve to be unlucky to meet this incomprehensible toubob.

It's also his fault that he was anxious at the time, and there was no news from the two groups of people he sent out. Then he came to Taiyuan in person, the situation was urgent, and he rushed directly into Jinyang Palace, which made people catch him wrong.

Before leaving, Yang Lin asked Li Yuanji nicely if he had seen other people who claimed to be from Dengzhou Prefecture come to deliver letters, but the latter denied it and insisted that he saw them.If they hadn't trespassed on Jinyang Palace, he wouldn't have the guts to arrest them and put them in prison.

Li Yuanji still twisted his neck and said, do you believe it?If you don't believe me, send someone to search for it. The gate of my Taiyuan Mansion is wide open, waiting for you at any time.

Threats and lures were in vain, and the emperor was in a hurry, so Yang Lin had to temporarily put down the Jiutaibao and Shitaibao who disappeared because of the delivery of the letter, and got on the carriage going south again, preparing to rush to see him overnight.

As a result, Li Yuan didn't dare to let Li Yuanji guard Taiyuan City, so he directly transferred him to Hedong County and ordered Li Jiancheng to guard his younger brother.

Another reason for transferring Li Yuanji away is that Li Yuan was still tempted by Li Shimin's suggestion. Right now, he was thinking of going ahead with the emperor's order and recruiting troops. He was afraid that Li Yuanji's impulsive temper would leak the news, so he didn't dare to join him. Bring it up in front of you.

Before Yang Lin left, he remembered that hateful dog leg and asked Li Yuan for someone.Isn't Li Yuanxin just a villain who is following others?It's good to vent your anger on Yang Lin, but when he passed it on to others, I found out that Li Yuanji, a brat, went to Hedong County with that dog leg.In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk kingly to the backer. The dog slave had already been killed on the spot by him and buried hastily.

Even if Yang Lin questioned, there was no evidence, and time was running out, so let it go.
