Chapter 482 The Overlord Disarms
Taiyuan, the Duke of Tang Li’s Mansion.
Although Li Shimin is already a general and lived in Luoyang. However, in Taiyuan, Hebei, he did not open a single mansion, but lived in Li Yuan’s Duke’s Mansion. After all, staying in Taiyuan is just a temporary solution. Maybe he will follow him back to the eastern capital Luoyang or Daxing City in Chang'an. So he was too lazy to find a mansion again, so he simply lived in the Duke’s Mansion.
A few days ago, his father Li Yuan had already agreed to a marriage for him to marry Yang Wu's daughter of the royal family. Although he heard that Yang Wu's daughter was pretty good and had a good character, Li Shimin didn't care. He still had that woman in his heart. Although she had never shown her happiness to herself, the clever smile on the swing that day made him unable to forget it. [..com]
Thinking of the wedding to the Yang family's daughter in a few days, Li Shimin felt an indescribable annoyance in his heart. This reminded him of the woman in his heart again. It's a pity that although he had snatched her from that man, he only had such a short time. I don't know that she is in Liaodong now. According to the information from the court, the man is getting stronger and stronger and stronger now.
This made him feel even more inexplicably disappointed. Seeing him working hard, the gap between the two became increasingly larger, which made him feel a sense of frustration. He was affected by this boredom all day, and even today he didn't even go to the military camp. Wearing a black robe, Li Shimin wandered in the garden in the mansion. In the past, he liked to wear white clothes the most, just like that man. But since he was disfigured, he never wore white again.
A burst of pipa sounds came, which made Li Shimin's depressed mood move. He looked for the sound, but found that it was his third sister Li Xiuning playing the pipa alone under the tree.
Standing there, Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised. This song sounded dull and tragic. He had never heard such a song before. But as he listened, he felt that the song was so familiar. It was as majestic as the drums in the army.
It sounds like beating drums, raising tents, and clicking generals in a military camp.
I continued to listen, but it seemed like I was in the whole team, clicking the general, and then it seemed like someone was put in the noisy battle formation again.
Go out, get in the battle, fight hard!
As I listened, I felt the tune change.
The majestic turned into dull and tragic again, as if the army had been trapped in a heavy siege and had to fight to the death but could not break through.
Even behind it was a long and tense tone, just like the heroic general who was extremely brave, was over. He was constantly breaking through, breaking through, and then breaking through. Behind him were countless pursuers. The sound of countless horse hooves was running around behind him.
At the end, the tune became even more sad, as if the general had finally escaped and the hero was at the end.
"clang!"
Just when the pipa song was at its peak, the strings suddenly broke a few times, and in the end only one string was left on the pipa.
Li Shimin woke up and found that he had just fallen into the song without realizing it. He looked at his third sister Li Xiuning, but found that the four strings of the pipa were broken, and only one string was left at this time, but the third sister Li Xiuning seemed to have not noticed it, and still playing the last string on his own.
The tune that the string played was no longer a sound, but the incomplete tone made Li Shimin feel even more sad. In the sad tune, he found that the third sister's face had been wet with tears since when.
Li Shimin walked over and snatched the pipa with pity, "Sister, why bother you cry like this all day long."
Li Shimin used to like this third sister the most, but later, he always felt guilty in the face of her, so he rarely came to see her. But every time he came to see her, he always was like this. He either was stunned in front of the mirror and cried, or he was stabbed when embroidered with flowers, but he still couldn't help himself. Most of the time, he was like this, and he lost his energy, was stupid, and sometimes he cried, and sometimes laughed.
Over the past six months, my father and their brothers had thought of finding a marriage for her again. However, some of them were interested in the status and power of the Li family and wanted to get married, but when they saw Li Xiuning's appearance, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and in the end they could only shirk their heads.
Over time, everyone in Taiyuan City now knows that the third lady of the Li family who once married Chen Pojun is now crazy and has gained and lost.
Li Xiuning's pipa was stolen by his younger brother, but he just sighed quietly.
After a long time, he said as if he was talking to himself, "This song is called "The King of Kings to Remove Armor, and it is divided into 16 sections: (1) The battalion drum (2) Opening tent (3) The point of the tent (1) The whole team (5) The point of the 2 (6) The point of the squad (7) The form of the squad (8) The battle at Gaixia (10) The battle of Chu Ge (11) The farewell to my concubine (12) The sound of the drum horn armor (13) The siege (14) The pursuit soldiers (15) The cavalry (16) The army returned home. The last section is a part of the farewell to my concubine, which is extremely sad, and describes the helplessness and pain of Xiang Yu, who "strengthly pulls out the mountains and his spirit is beyond the world", facing his beloved concubine, and he is so helpless and painful in the face of the beloved concubine, "What can you do with Yu Xi and Yu Xi" in the singing of the enemies all around him."
Li Shimin recalled the name "Battle King's Armor" several times in his heart, but felt that he had never heard of such a pipa song. His father also liked to play the pipa, and even he could play a few songs. Although he didn't play very well, he had heard a lot of pipa songs. Like the song played by the third sister today, he could not have heard it. Could it be that this was created by the third sister?
Li Xiuning was still whispering, "This is the song he once taught me. He taught me two songs at the beginning. Another song is the Moon Night of the Spring River. I like his poem and the pipa song he matched with. But at that time he told me that he liked this song "The King of Kings' armor and his love for Yu Ji" more. I didn't understand at that time, but now I finally understand what it feels like."
"When the overlord lost Yu Ji, he could still commit suicide and follow him, and finally meet him in the spring. But as for me, I knew he was there, but I could never see him again." As he said that, tears kept pouring out of Li Xiuning.
Li Shimin had no expression on his face. Of course, he understood who he was in the third sister's mouth. But he didn't expect that the third sister would be so affectionate to him, and even miss him. An inexplicable jealousy surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out. "The third sister was lamenting at home all day long, I'm afraid I didn't know that two months ago, the emperor had sent Princess Tuiyun to Liaodong to marry Chen Pojun? I just don't know, when Chen Pojun was in the wedding night with the princess in Liaodong, do you still remember you, Third Sister? You always saw new people laughing, but how could you cry when you saw old people cry? Third Sister, the past is over, no matter where it comes from. Our Li family cannot have a relationship with the Chen family."
After saying this, when Li Xiuning's face turned paler, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little painful. He couldn't help but blame himself, and could no longer stay there. He hurriedly shook his sleeves and turned around and left.
As soon as he left the back garden, a family member from the mansion came to report that it was General Zuo Xiaowei who was visiting.
Li Shimin had fought side by side with Yun Dingxing at the Xixing Pass of Yanmen. He had a good impression of this chubby general. He always felt that although this man seemed to lack some courage, he was very smart, and he could also be willing to be able to escape when he was in a critical condition. Thinking of that time at Xixing Pass, if he hadn't been the focus of Lai Hu'er, he might have died at that small pass at that time.
When Li Shimin heard that he was visiting, he hurriedly put away his messy thoughts and rushed there.
In Li Shimin's study, Yun Dingxing was standing there a little restlessly. In just a short while, he had drunk four or five cups of tea, which made the girl secretly shocked. She had never seen such a person in the Li family for so long.
Seeing that Li Shimin finally came in, Yun Ding hurriedly came up, "Erlang, let me wait."
When he heard Yun Dingxing call him Erlang, Li Shimin also met with si courtesy. "Uncle Yun Shishi has no military camp to train soldiers today, why did he have time to come to me?" Yun Dingxing, as the general of the Zuo Xiaogu, suffered heavy losses last time. This time, he added new recruits in Taiyuan. During this period, basically all armies were training soldiers and reorganizing their troops.
Yun Dingxing looked at the shi girl in the study. Li Shimin immediately understood and hurriedly drove all the shi girl out of the shi girl.
"Is there anything important to Uncle Shi?"
Yun Dingxing looked at Li Shimin seriously, "Last time in the Jinyang Palace, the King of Liao looked down on the king and acted rudely. He even opened the fifth-rank general of the court in the Golden Palace. He even wanted to kill His Majesty's minister General Yang Wu. None of the ministers in the palace dared to speak out, but Erlang came out from the crowd. Can you tell Shi Shu, why did you do this?"
"To be honest, before the Tianchao meeting, my father happened to discuss the marriage between General Yang's nephew and General Yang's daughter. So, General Yang is in Mount Tai, how can he not save him when he dies?" Li Shimin said calmly.
There is no one in Taiyuan City who is married to Li Shimin and Yang Wu's daughter. Of course, Yun Dingxing refused to believe such a reason. It was just a marriage. The third lady of the Li family married Chen Pojun, but later she was abolished. However, Yun Dingxing didn't come to ask about this, so he didn't say much.
After a while of silence in the study, Yun Dingxing suddenly said, "Your Majesty is awake today!"
"What?" The news immediately shocked Li Shimin. The emperor had been fainting for two months, how could he still wake up? The imperial doctors said that it was difficult for the emperor to wake up.
Yun Dingxing stared at Li Shimin tightly, and found that he was extremely surprised when he heard the news. He finally felt relieved. The emperor just woke up and didn't understand the current situation. How could a person like Yun Dingxing not understand?
Now the power of the Liao King is getting bigger and bigger, and he has attracted more and more people. Even the control of the Jinyang Palace is getting tighter and tighter. The Liao King's power is the strongest force in Taiyuan. When he saw his nephew, King Yan, and received the emperor's edict, he was shocked.
Originally, he felt that the emperor could never wake up again. According to the situation in Taiyuan, the Liao king must have won the throne. After all, the Liao king was the emperor's only legitimate son, and now there are many ministers in his hands. He never thought of using his thin arms to twist the Liao king's big tui.
But when he saw the edict of the throne and the edict of the Eight Ministers brought by the King of Yan, his heart was confused. He couldn't help but remember how glorious he was the prince's father-in-law back then. But he didn't expect that the prince would die long ago at the age of 23. His future was also dim, but he didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity today.
Not to mention that the emperor issued an edict to make him one of the eight ministers of his life, even if he did not reward anything, he had to fight for his nephew. With these two edicts and the emperor is awake now, why worry about the big thing not being done?
However, he then thought carefully at home for a long time. Now in Dayuan City, the palace has been controlled by the King of Liao. Even if they knew that the emperor was awake, if they did not have strong strength, they would probably not have any effect. In Taiyuan City, the Liao king's faction is the strongest faction, not only controlling the palace, but also possessing 200,000 soldiers.
Although Yun Dingxing was the general of Zuo Xiaowei, he had just been transferred to the post for a short time and had not many real confidants. He was definitely not enough to fight against the Liao King. In short, Wei Wensheng, Yu Wenwen and Fan Zigai from the Guanlong faction of Chang'an were also ministers in the imperial edict, and they also had more than 100,000 troops in their hands. Moreover, they directly opposed the Liao King faction and asked them to support the Yan King, which was very sure.
However, he and the Guanlong faction alone were still not strong enough to deal with the Liao King. Among the eight ministers of Guru, in addition to the three of him and the Guanlong faction, there were four others. They were Su Wei, Li Yuan, Wang Shichong and Pei Shiju. Su Wei was a civil servant, and an old prime minister with only prestige but no real power, and had no effect in this battle. Although Pei Shiju was the leader of the Pei family, unfortunately he was far away in Liaodong now, and the Pei family had actually turned to the Liao King, Pei Yun and Pei Renji were both firm supporters of the Liao King.
After thinking about it, only Li Yuan and Wang Shichong who can really help King Yan are Li Yuan and Wang Shichong. However, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong have been fences during this period. Although both sides are not falling, they don’t know which side they will fall. Among these two, Wang Shichong is a newcomer and is completely promoted by the emperor. It is completely different from the Guanlong faction, the main force that supports King Yan. Therefore, although Wang Shichong needs 100,000 Jianghuai Army, Yun Dingxing did not dare to rashly find Wang Shichong before the situation in the Qing Dynasty.
Finally, he felt that Li Yuan was born in Guanlong and was an imperial relative. In addition, the last time the Li family and his son were openly opposed to the execution of Yang Wu in the Golden Palace, so Yun Dingxing ran to the Li Mansion. However, at the beginning, he did not dare to tell the truth, but tried it first.
Sure enough, Li Shimin had no idea that the emperor had woken up, and as far as he knew, the news of the emperor's awakening was made known to the King of Liao and the others. The King of Liao knew, but Li Shimin didn't know. This shows that Li Shimin and the King of Liao had not colluded with each other. Thinking of this, he finally felt much more relaxed.
ps: I will present my favorite "Spring River Moon Night", not counting the words.
The spring tides are connected to the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is born with the tide.
Yanyansui
oThere are thousands of miles, and there is no bright moon in the spring river.
The river flows around the fragrant dwellings, and the moon shines on the flowers and forests all look like sleet.
The frost flows in the sky without feeling the flowing, and the white sand on the ground cannot be seen.
The river and sky are free of dust, and the lonely moon is in the bright sky.
Who first saw the moon by the river? When did the moon in the river shine?
Life has been endless from generation to generation, and the rivers and months are only similar every year.
I don’t know who the moon in the river is waiting for, but I see the Yangtze River sending flowing water.
The white clouds are gone in a row, and the green maple piers are filled with sorrow.
Whose boat is flat tonight, where is the place to miss the bright moon building?
Poor moon wanders upstairs, and should shine on the mirror table of people leaving.
The jade door curtain cannot be rolled away, and the pulping anvil is blown back.
At this time, we look at each other but don’t hear each other. I wish to shine through the moonlight.
The wild geese fly long and the light is not shining, and the fish and dragons leaps into the water.
Last night, I dreamed of falling flowers in the pond, but I felt sorry for the spring and didn’t return home.
The river flows and the spring is gone, and the moon sets in the river pond and then slants westward.
The slanting moon hides the fog in the sea, and the infinite road of Jieshi Xiaoxiang.
I don’t know how many people will return on the moon, and the moon will shake the love of the river trees...
