Chapter 639: Abandoning the secret and turning to the light

In the dim cabin, a man of about 40, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Li Tang, sat in the dim darkness, speechless alone.

In his mind, what was still unavailable at this time was full of the shadow of purple crystals. Such a microwaved thing had the ability to control life and death. He had just heard Li Shimin proudly mention it, and the result was made of a plant. It is said that the plant only grew on the distant snow line of Kunlun Mountain, which was extremely rare.

The leaves need to be placed for a long time, then soaked in lime water, sugar juice and some precious spices produced in the Nanyang Islands. The leaves are discarded, and ash is added to the potion to make them thicker, and then left to crystallize. The process is slow and difficult, and the ingredients required are expensive and extremely difficult to find. It is said that only one person knows that this poison is refined, and even Mr. Wei, Li Mi, has mastered this medicine, still does not know how to extract this medicine.

He no longer remembers how Li Shimin called this leaf, nor how the Taoist priest named this crystal. He only remembered that Li Yuan just exclaimed and called it "Three Days Go". After putting it in the wine to dissolve, it was colorless and tasteless. Once it was drunk. After three days, it would inevitably develop like a heart attack, with severe angina and blocked its trachea. It is said that the victim's face often showed the same purple color as the crystal, which was exactly the same as the symptoms of schizophrenia.

Just later tonight, Chen Pojun will set up a banquet in the Mengjin Water Village to entertain the three ministers including Wang Shichong and Li Yuan. Tomorrow morning, Chen Pojun will be assigned to the camp and return to Hebei.

Just tonight, Li Shimin had agreed with Li Yuan and others that he would drag his broken leg to the banquet tonight. On the surface, it was to apologize to Chen Pojun for the daytime incident. In fact, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Li Shimin personally gave Chen Pojun a poisoned wine.

After tonight, although Li Yuan and his son will return to Hebei tomorrow morning with Chen Pojun, after Li Shimin's affairs, Li Yuan and others are afraid that they will not find the best opportunity tonight. Moreover, Li Yuan and his son not only demanded Chen Pojun's life, they also planned to take Wang Shichong's life together. For the Li family, Wang Shichong, who took their five counties in Hedong, was also their life-and-death enemy.

Thinking of Li Shimin's expression when he was lying on the couch and discussing this plan with Li Yuan and others, the man in the cabin couldn't help but fight a cold war.

A long sigh was heard, and the heavens and men were fighting in his heart. His grandfather was the governor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father also served as a lieutenant in Kaifu in the Sui Dynasty. He was himself. He also served as a minor official of the Right Guard during the Sui Dynasty. However, in the year of Daye, he also fled to Liaodong to participate in the war. During the reign of Emperor Wen, 300,000 soldiers of the Sui Dynasty conquered Liaodong for the first time. They were not adapted to the land and the epidemic caused. In the end, the entire army was completely destroyed in Liaodong. For his descendants who were born in the Guanlong nobles but now have declined, it was tantamount to death.

In order to avoid going to Liao, he defected to Li Yuan, a clan's son who was close to him in his early years. Li Yuan secretly stepped forward and arranged him to Loufan County, Hedong, where he was once the governor. Later, Li Yuan was released from Taiyuan and became Li Yuan's confidant. Li Yuan designed to eliminate Yang Guang and sent him to surveillance in Taiyuan, restraining his two deputy left-behinds. The Sui Dynasty recruited soldiers and horses. He had made great contributions to these and was awarded the position of commander-in-chief.

However, the money fell and scattered.

Although Li Yuan was kind to him and was Li Yuan's confidant, at this time, he had to carefully consider the situation in front of him. Thinking of the time when the Li family was defeated in Longmen, he did not have any slight wavering intentions. However, later Chen Pojun went to recruit Li Yuan and the others down the mountain, and he had strongly advised him not to come to Mengjin, but instead urged Li Yuan and his son to leave the group of troops, disguise themselves and return to Taiyuan, and stand firm and wait for change.

But Li Yuan and his son did not agree with his suggestions. During this trip to Mongjin, he suddenly felt the changes of the Li family father and son. Not only did Li Shimin change, but Li Yuan also changed. Although Li surrendered to Li Yuan at the beginning, he was helpless. Later, he was devoted to helping Li Yuan, but he admired Li Yuan's actions very much and optimistic about his future. He always thought that Li Yuan was kind and highly supported by the powerful people of the Jin clan in Hedong.

But today, the last picture of Li Yuan and his son was revealed, but he suddenly realized that everything Li Yuan had in the past was just a disguise. Once he was in a hurry, he would be just like Yang Ming and Li Mi. Longmen was defeated and did not dare to go back to Taiyuan, but he came to Mengjin by chance. This was already a cowardly battle and did not dare to die. Now that he was in poverty, he was counting on poison to poison Chen Pojun and Li Mi. This was the domineering spirit of a hero who had lost his hero. He was like a gangster on the street.

Li Yuan and his son are like this. Even if they really deal with the past this time, there are so many heroes in the world? Even if they succeed by chance, can they still deal with other heroes in the future? This is ultimately inferior.

Although he is omnipotent in fighting for hegemony, he has seen through Li Yuan's character.

Li Yuan was born as a noble family and respected the wise and inferior. "After the Eight-Pillar Country, there were many former officials; tigers occupies the land of Hedong, and many subordinates can do things." This gave him the advantage of talent. But this was just Li Yuan's superficial behavior to treat others. Now he has seen that Li Yuan is tolerant on the outside but suspicious in his heart. He likes strategy but cannot make decisions, talent but cannot use it, and cannot adopt good plans. As Cao Cao once commented on Yuan Shao: "Yuan Shao is harsh and brave, and is willing to make plans without decisions; he cherishes himself when doing big things, and forgets his life when he sees small profits."

When Li Yuan led his army south to Huoyi, he saw that Yang Qing and Wang Shichong's troops blocked the way forward, so he felt like retreating and ordered his troops to retreat. However, after his son Li Shimin persuaded him, he asked his son to recover the troops overnight. In the battle of Longmen, he did not listen to the advice of his advisers. In the battle, Li Shimin led his most elite troops to divide his troops south, etc.

After sighing for a few times, he took out a letter from his arms. The letter was received secretly not long after he arrived in Mengjin, and no one knew about it. Under the dim candlelight, the four words "Uncle Jingqi" appeared on the paper.

I opened the letter and read it carefully again, word by word, without missing it. The letter was from his nephew, and the content of the letter was very simple and clear, which was to persuade him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and to the Hebei court.

The name of this nephew of my family is signed at the end of the letter, "Nephew Changsun Wuji bows to you."

Looking at this name, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Changsun clan was the descendant of the Tuoba royal family and a noble family since the Wei Dynasty. Unfortunately, the family gradually fell into decline. His companion, Changsun Wuji's father Changsun Sheng, was once a general, which made the entire Changsun clan shine a lot. Unfortunately, Changsun Sheng died early, and the departure of the last powerful clan member of the Changsun clan in the revival of the Changsun clan eventually ended up falling into decline.

However, although he could not write about two or two grandchildren in one stroke, his family was less likely to go around and interact with Changsun Wuji's family. At that time, he had avoided Hedong early in order to escape military service. Although he had heard that Changsun Wuji, the brother and sister, were kicked out of the house by his elder brother, he was unable to help.

However, in thirty years, Hexi in thirty years. When he was in Hedong, he had the intention to find a way out for his deteriorated nephew and niece. He wanted to make a connection with him and grant Changsun Wugui the fifth son of Li Yuan.

But who would have thought that it was the brother and sister who lost their father in the early years and had to leave the house by their half-brothers and had to leave the house to his uncle's family, but now it has reached the point where he looks up to him. When he heard that Chen Pojun married his niece Changsun Wugui in Hedong, he was a little surprised. Who would have thought that Chen Pojun not only married this niece, but also liked her so much that he actually named him Prince Chen's Concubine so quickly.

Changsun Wuji, the nephew who followed Chen Pojun, also ran for Chen Pojun. This time he received his letter, but he had been appointed as prime minister by the Hebei court and was granted the title of Duke of the County and State. Even their uncle Gao Shilian took the wind and went straight to the prime minister and entered the cabinet, and was named Duke of the County and State.

With the current situation, Chen Pojun is likely to win the world. At that time, Wugui will definitely be the queen, and Changsun is the descendant. If Wuji is so young and loved by Chen Pojun and capable nephew, Changsun is just around the corner. Changsun Wuji's letter was very respectful, saying that Changsun is now reviving his family in Hebei. He is even more trusted and valued by King Chen. Moreover, when the court is employed, Chen knew that his uncle Changsun Shunde was known as brave and wise, and he was even more worried. Changsun Wuji said that several clans of the Changsun family had gradually reunited in Beijing, but his younger sister Princess Chen was the wife of King Chen, which was inconvenient to manage the affairs of the clan. He was too young and needed a clan uncle with high reputation and seniority to go back to take charge of the family.

At the end of the letter, Changsun Wuji even said bluntly that after King Chen Younuo and Changsun Wuji returned to Hebei, he would be chosen by himself, whether he was a civil servant or a military position. Changsun Wuji even said that he would give up his position and be appointed by his clan uncle.

Looking at the letter over and over again, the time was getting late and closer to the banquet, and Changsun Shunde became more and more anxious.

Not only is Li Tang's future uncertain now, but he also has a different view of the Li family's father and son. On the one hand, there is a sank of water and water breaking boat, and if you stay there, you will be devastated at any time. On the other hand, the situation is very good, and there are also clan relatives and friends. Once you join, you can see the heights and the depths are clear at a glance.

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the kings of the state have long been unable to defeat the clan and family. Changing the ranks and joining the new master is not shameful. This is an era where the strong are respected. Whoever is a hero can win the world. As for the nobles of the upper-class families in the world, they don’t care much about these. It’s the same for whoever becomes emperor. Anyway, it’s not uncommon for a few hundred years to change dynasties. The elders are more than a hundred years, and the shortest are twenty or thirty years. Even if the founding emperor is heroic, they cannot defeat the passage of time and heroes.

The nobles of aristocrats have always only known their families, but do not care about the kings of the state. For them, there is no immortal empire, only families that have been passed down from generation to generation. Changsun Shunde thought for a long time and suddenly heard the sound of the water camp in his ears, and the dinner was about to begin.

After gritting his teeth, Changsun Shunde quickly took out the pen and ink and quickly wrote a letter. In the evening, Li Yuan and his son's conspiracy were all put on the paper. He hurriedly dried the ink traces. Changsun Shunde left the cabin door, looked no one on the left, and quickly placed the folded letter there in a secret place under the flagpole of the bow of the ship. This was the contact method written on a small note attached with his nephew's letter. These days, he has been hesitating and has never used it. Now, he finally has a place to submit a letter.
