He said, and continued: "In March, he killed Li Min and Li Hun, and wanted to appease the Li family, so he asked his father to be the comfort ambassador in Shanxi and Hedong. In fact, it was not because he wanted us to work for him to put down the rebellion."

"This kind of thing, you just have to know it in your mind. The Lord wants to use the Li family's knife, so we sucked enough blood to be his 'sharp blade'." Li Jiancheng put the letter away, without raising his head, said, There is only some subtle meaning in the two words at the end of the sentence.

Li Yuanji was sensitive by nature, so why couldn't he hear it, and immediately said, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Yuanji, I have a letter here." Li Jiancheng took out the letter from the paperwork on the side of the case and said, "You choose dozens of people tomorrow, and take the letter to Beibolei to see Dou Jiande. You should understand what I mean Bar?"

In the future, Dou Jiande will have hundreds of thousands of troops. At that time, he was trapped by Yang Yichen's army in Beibolei. If he offered a helping hand at this time and took the opportunity to win him over, firstly, he would save one enemy. Being able to be used by the Li family can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Yuanji took the letter, put it away carefully, and said, "Yuanji understands."

Conscription

In the first month of the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan was dismissed and detained on the spot because of his defeat.

At this time, among Li Yuan's children, only Li Shimin was by his side.

Li's mansion was extremely quiet, because of Li Yuan's detention, there were either soldiers walking back and forth with indifferent expressions in the mansion, or a few maids with their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

Standing outside Li Yuan's room were two officers and soldiers in full armor. When they saw Li Shimin coming, they stepped forward to stop him, searched him expressionlessly, and then let him in.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, glanced at the two officers and soldiers with cold eyes, then pursed his lips and pushed the door open.

In the room, the brazier has been extinguished, and there are orange sparks flashing away from time to time among the gray and white charcoal.

Li Yuan was sitting on the couch, holding a book and reading it carefully. When he saw Li Shimin coming, he said, "If there is nothing wrong, I don't need to come here to say hello." He knew that his son still had a bit of arrogance. Seeing his father being searched all over was already a great insult to him.

Li Shimin shook his head, stood in front of Li Yuan who was wearing a crane cloak, and said forcefully, "How long will it take?"

This sounded very inexplicable, but Li Yuan understood what he meant. He put the book down and said, "What's the hurry? Your elder brother and fourth younger brother are still in Hedong, and Xiuning and Chai Shao are far away in Chang'an. It's not too late." arrive."

Li Shimin held back his breath, lowered his voice and said: "Then how long will we have to wait? Father, as long as the Lord wants one will, our Li family will be finished!"

Li Yuan sighed, and said: "You are still inferior to your elder brother, if you are too impatient, you will not be able to achieve great things."

Li Shimin was only eighteen, and when he heard the words, he was a little annoyed, and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Li Yuan: "I ask you, if you want to rebel at this moment, where are the soldiers?"

Although Li Yuan was a great official in the frontier, he could mobilize extremely limited troops, not to mention that he was being detained at this time, and he had no soldiers in his hands. If he wanted to rebel, it would be impossible.

It was obvious that Li Shimin had thought about it, he said conceitedly: "Wuji is already outside waiting to be dispatched at any time, I have entrusted him with all the transfer of the dead in the mansion, we only need an order, and we can go out."

"What about after going out?" Li Yuan was noncommittal, and after he asked back, he said: "You reacted quickly, and you still have the opportunity to pass on news to Wuji, but the elite soldiers that my Li family has managed to save over the years are used by you. here?"

Li Shimin knew in his heart that he was a bit aggressive, but his youthful vigor has not faded. Being detained in the mansion these days is like boiling oil over a slow fire, hot oil stars can burst out anytime and anywhere.

"Shimin, the Sui Dynasty's power is approaching. I had planned to do so, but due to the absence of Tong Yuanji, I had to endure it temporarily." Seeing that Li Shimin had calmed down, Li Yuan said slowly, "Unexpectedly, I was in trouble. It's just that the world is in chaos today, my lord," Li Yuan smiled slightly with a hint of sarcasm at this point, "the lord has not many people to rely on, and our Li family is not a chess piece that can be easily discarded."

Li Shimin remained silent.

"It's just that if he really wants to put the Li family to death, the three of you brothers should rise up immediately, don't just sit around and let the world laugh at you." Li Yuan said again, although his voice was extremely soft, it was loud.

Li Shimin stood solemnly for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "I will follow my father's wishes."

As expected by Li Yuan, within a few days, the decree of Yang Guang's pardon was delivered quickly. After Li Yuan received the decree, Li Shimin stood beside him, watching the soldiers of the Mansion retreat slowly, with an indifferent expression.

When everyone retreated, the imperial decree that Li Yuan was holding respectfully just now was casually thrown aside, and he stood with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "Do it when you see the opportunity!"

Li Shimin's dark eyes flashed a tiny light, and he replied, "Yes!"

Since then, the Li family has officially started planning before the uprising.

On the one hand, Li Yuan wrote to the eldest son of Hedong, Li Jiancheng, asking him to sneak into the handsome man in Hedong, and on the other hand, he also ordered Li Shimin to secretly recruit powerful friends in Jinyang, and began to gather the core forces of the uprising.

But at the same time, the shortage of troops still looms in front of Li Yuan and his son. Li Yuan has deputy guards Wang Wei and Gao Junya, who are Yang Guang's cronies. It is self-evident to put them next to Li Yuan. , First of all, you need to go through these two people.

In February of the 13th year of Daye, Liu Wuzhou, a military officer in Mayi, suddenly launched a mutiny, killed the prefect Wang Rengong, occupied the county, and established himself as the emperor of Dingyang.

This is an excellent opportunity for Li Yuan and the others.

In the study room, several people were sitting or standing, with different expressions on their faces. In the silence, someone finally broke the silence. It was Liu Wenjing who was born as a general. It's been a long time, and he has made good friends with Li Yuan, who is highly valued by Li Yuan.

"The place where Liu Wuzhou started his army is not far from Jinyang. The two officers, Wang and Gao, must have been anxious in their hearts. They are waiting for you, Duke Tang, to volunteer. As long as Duke Tang mentions it, this soldier will be ours."

Although Pei Ji usually likes to tease Liu Wenjing, at this time he put away his playful look, and continued solemnly: "I think so, but Mr. Tang needs to restrain himself. Although these two people have no talents, they are jealous like Yang Guang. In the same way, it is better to wait until Liu Wuzhou attacks the Fenyang Palace, it is a matter of their own safety, they will definitely ask Tang Gong, and then it will be very easy to recruit troops and even control the military power."

Liu Wenjing glanced at him, only to find that his upright appearance was more annoying than his usual smooth accent, so she lowered her eyes and looked away.

Li Yuan stroked his beard and said, "Your Excellency, do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that no one answered, Li Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Tomorrow, I will summon all the generals to discuss Liu Wuzhou's rebellion."

After the discussion was over, several people came out quietly from the county mansion. Although they had always been friends with Li Yuan, at this time when the storm was about to come, their close relationship could not make others suspicious.

Pei Ji lived very close to Liu Wenjing, so the two walked silently together.Although Liu Wenjing is a military general, he is a bit handsome, and he is not very tall. On the contrary, Pei Ji next to him looks a bit like a military general.

After a while, Pei Ji spoke first, "Do you remember that one night, you and I slept together?"

Liu Wenjing was stunned, slowed down a little, then frowned and said: "It's not you, I don't know where to cheat the spirits, otherwise how could I..."

Having said that, he closed his mouth and frowned slightly.

Pei Ji glanced at him, and raised the corner of his mouth, which was the usual expression of a gambler and a libertine, "Oh, I'm too old to shirk responsibility, I didn't drink much from that jar of wine, you're the one who wants to pour it into your mouth of."

Liu Wenjing's ears turned red when she heard the words, and she was about to get angry when she heard Pei Ji say again: "Then you must remember what we said that night..."

Although he was asking a question, his tone was extremely firm.

Liu Wenjing hesitated for a while, then said slowly in a low voice: "You said, 'I am humble, my family is surrounded by walls, and I am in troubled times, where is my shelter'."

Pei Ji continued with a smile: "You just say, 'The world is like this, the current situation is predictable. You and I are together, why should we care about poverty'."

He didn't look at Liu Wenjing, but solemnly said with Liu Wenjing's unfamiliar smile, "I will always remember this, and so will you."

After a long time, Liu Wenjing replied very low and softly, "I will remember."

On the second day, in the county mansion, Wang Wei and Gao Junya sat on the chairs. Although their expressions were still calm, the subtleties still revealed the anxiety in their hearts.

Wang Wei kept twisting the sleeves with his fingers, and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.Gao Junya picked up the rice wine from time to time, but didn't drink it, just held the cup and put it down again after a while.

The two waited restlessly for a long time, until all the generals had arrived, and then Li Yuan slowly came out of the room.

After another exchange of greetings, we got to the point.

Li Yuan took a sip of the rice wine, and said slowly: "Everyone, did you know that Liu Wuzhou has raised troops, killed the prefect of Mayi County, and established himself as the emperor."

Who doesn't know about this?But under Li Yuan's instruction, Liu Zhenghui and the others echoed and talked nonsense for a long time before someone said, "According to the Duke, what should we do?"

Li Yuan was full of worry, and sighed:
