Chapter 17 Li Yuan slipped

Chapter 17 Li Yuan lost his words

In the second year of Daye, King Gao Yuan of Goryeo was afraid and did not dare to enter the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui officially issued a war edict, and the whole country conquered Goryeo. (   )

He immediately issued a series of orders to mobilize soldiers from all over the world, regardless of distance, to Zhuo County; he also ordered Yuan Hongsi, the general manager of Youzhou, to build 300 ships in Donglaihaikou, and must be completed within half a year; he ordered Henan, Huainan, Jiangnan and other places to build 50,000 chariots and send them to Zhuo County; he sent Henan and Hebei civilians to Liaodong to supply military supplies; he also mobilized 300,000 ships from Jiangnan to Luokou and Liyang to transport grain, and a series of tough orders made the world boil.

In late February, Yang Guang's fleet arrived in Chenliu County. As it was too late, thousands of large ships were moored beside the canal. Yang Guang's dragon boat was located at the front of the fleet. The huge dragon head stood up to the sky, four feet high and five feet long, twenty feet long, and four levels of palaces on it, all decorated with gold and jade, and magnificent. Behind is the queen's Xiangchi boat, which is slightly smaller than the dragon boat, and there are nine floating boats, all of which are water palaces, with large ships such as lingering color, vermilion bird, cyan dragon, white tiger, black tung tung, and black tung twentie guards and 300,000 troops of the twelve guards. The fleet stretches for 200 miles and is a huge momentum.

Zhuniao is a large ship that some officials ride. Since they are all fifth-rank or above, the conditions are good, each of them has a separate cabin. Li Yuan, the young supervisor in the hall, also lives in this ship. When night falls, he leans on the side of the ship and stares at the endless food delivery teams in the distance. He lights torches, like a fire dragon more than ten miles long. After staring for a long time, he can't help but sigh, "Natural disasters, military disasters, and labor, how much can the Great Sui Dynasty bear the burden?"

Standing next to him was the son-in-law Yu Wenshi, who was appointed as the emperor of Shangnian. He and Li Yuan got very close to each other due to their position. They had a good personal relationship and often talked about the world together. This time, because of the incident in Goryeo, both of them were in a heavy mood. Yu Wenshi came to chat with Li Yuan.

Yu Wen Shiji also shook his head, "In the past, we arrived at noon, but now we can't deliver it until evening. This shows the difficulty of raising food. Several times a year, I can't imagine how the people along the way are burdened by the people along the way. The censor had been impeached, and every meal was one meal, and the local officials had to exploit it three times, but the emperor did not punish him for his crimes, which is regrettable."

The two of them were extremely moved and sighed. At this time, Li Jiancheng walked out of the cabin and bowed and said, "Father, the wine has been prepared!"

Li Yuan turned around and said to Yu Wenshi: "Let's go! Let's have a few drinks, don't watch these tragic things. The Holy Church."

Li Yuan’s cabin has two inner and outer rooms. His son built his house to live in the outer room. He lived in the inner room. The two walked back to the inner cabin and sat down. There were already several plates of cured flavour on the table, which were all brought by Li Yuan from home. Li Yuan picked up the wine jar and patted and smiled: “This is the Italian-style zithered pineapple wine that Yang Yuanqing gave me the past two years. It is said that only 100 cans are produced every year. Let’s have a few drinks.”

Yu Wenshi and he was very happy. He knew that because the raw materials of Yijiao Pole Pear Wine in Dali were too small, it could only brew 100 cans per year, and they were all given to the emperor. They were usually used at state banquets. He also hid two cans, but he was reluctant to drink them. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan actually took them out to entertain himself.

He was moved and smiled and said, "Mr. Meng Shude gave me wine, and the scholars were grateful. Today, I should thank Mr. Gong for being drunk."

Li Yuan laughed, "Well said, forget your worries when you get drunk!"

The two of them whipped up their glasses, and before they knew it, they drank most of the can of wine. Both of them were a little drunk, and they were even more worried when they drank their sorrows. Their topic turned to this battle of Goryeo. Yu Wenshi sighed: "Today, the Han Dynasty is happy and disgusted with Hu. They want to destroy the foundation of the Guanlong nobles. In fact, I am not worried about this battle of Goryeo. I am worried that after the Battle of Goryeo, the foundation of the Guanlong nobles has been lost and will be tragically purged. Zhang Jin's tragedy will be repeated. I am the son-in-law and can still protect myself. I have nothing to rely on, so I am not worried in my heart?"

Yang Guang used the Battle of Goryeo to suppress the Guanlong nobles. This was actually Sima Zhao's heart. Li Yuan also understood in his heart. He was depressed and couldn't help blurting out, "The worst thing is to defeat the death!"

Yu Wenshi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Duke Shude should not speak nonsense."

Li Yuan drank a few more glasses of wine and was already half drunk. At this time, Jiancheng went to get the wine and food again without being in the cabin. He vomited a truth after drinking and waved his hand and said, "What is false words? What is the virtue of his Yang family? According to the position of the emperor for 30 years, which noble family of Guanlong is not waiting for the opportunity. I, Li Yuan, just don't want to raise this head. Don't your Yuwen family want it?"

Just as Li Jiancheng walked into the cabin with a food box, he heard his father's words and was shocked. It was too late to stop him.

Yu Wenshi Ji didn't seem to care. After drinking two glasses of wine, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although some words are not something that the minister should say, but they are held in their hearts and are not happy. The emperor has regarded the people as grass, built the eastern capital, dug canals, built different palaces, and led hundreds of thousands of people to tour the world. The people in the world have long been overwhelmed. Now, Shandong and Hebei are experiencing great disasters, but they have launched wars with all the troops. The people are unable to bear it and will inevitably rebel. If the world is in chaos, where should I, the prince-consort?"

Seeing that the two of them were becoming more and more explicit, there were people coming and going outside, so they could not let them continue to talk, Li Jiancheng stepped forward and said to Yu Wenshi, "Mr. Prince Concubine, I just heard that the princess was looking for you everywhere, and there might be something big."

Yu Wen and his man were young and had a better alcohol tolerance than Li Yuan. His mind was quite clear, so he stood up and bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your wine. If one day I have no way to go and surrender to Mr. Shude, I will not refuse me."

Li Yuan pointed to the wine jar and said, "It is like today's wine, you should share it with the public."

Yu Wenshi and laughed away with his palms. Li Jiancheng was angry and anxious. He quickly poured a glass of wine-inducing medicine and helped his father to the side of the boat to drink it. Li Yuan suddenly vomited so dark that it was dark. It took Jiancheng a long time to help him return to the cabin. Li Jiancheng brought a basin of water to wash his father's face and drank a few more glasses of water. Only then did Li Yuan slowly wake up and look at the table in a mess.

Although it was a drunken word, Li Yuan still remembered a little. He was shocked and pulled Jiancheng's hand and said, "What did your father just say?"

Li Jiancheng closed the cabin door and came back and complained: "My father said a lot of rebellious things, saying that he didn't want to make trouble, and said that whoever of the Guanlong nobles wanted to seek the throne, and said that the Yuwen family also had this intention. His father, he was the prince consort, how could he say these to him?"

Li Yuan was very upset. He was upset these days, so he wanted to drink and forget his worries. Unexpectedly, he lost his words after drinking and told Yu Wen Shiji what he said. What should I do?

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to kill him while Mr. Yu was not saying it out, push him into the river, pretending to be drunk and missed."

Li Yuan pondered for a long time and shook his head and said, "He has no intention of harming me. If he fails to kill him, he will report me instead. It is not advisable. Let's just wait and see what happens."

Speaking of this, he instructed Jiancheng again: "You have to look at me and don't allow me to drink again. Wine is a harmful thing!"

Jiancheng sighed in his heart, in fact, ambition is the harm of others. His father never told him what his father said to Yu Wenshi and what he said.





















Yu Wenshi returned to his cabin, and the maid told him that the princess had gone to the queen's boat. Yu Wenshi realized that it was Li Jiancheng who led him away and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect Li Yuan to say those words. People who are usually so loyal and cowardly also have the intention to rebel. If he hadn't spoken after drinking, no one would have thought of it.

At this time, a servant's voice came from outside the cabin, "Mr. Prince Consort, please come over."

Yu Wenshi knew it was his father who was looking for him, "I understand!" He got up and washed his face, and hurried to his father's cabin.

Yuwen Shu's cabin was on the Cangchi ship. He was the general of the Zuo Yigu and the minister of the cabinet. He had a higher status and had five cabins, and his personal guard maid lived in his two sons Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhiji were also following him.

Because Yuwen Shu made contributions in the Battle of Tuyuhun, he was not only promoted to General Zuoyiwei, but his two sons were also exempted from punishment, pardoned and reborn as civilians. Yuwen Shu found a way to get his two sons back into the government, preferably to be able to obtain the position of prefect and guard one side.

Since the Sui Dynasty promoted the imperial examination, the human resources power gradually returned to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel presided over the imperial examination and had the right to nominate. The cabinet has the power to review and can directly decide officials below the sixth rank, and officials above the sixth rank were finally reviewed and approved by the emperor.

After the Sui Dynasty began preparing for war in the sixth year of Daye, the people in the world were in a state of grievances. This time, Yuwen Shu and Yang Guang went on a southern tour of the Sui Dynasty. He saw with his own eyes that the people's hearts were disconnected and chaos in the world had emerged. Yuwen Shu had a new idea in his heart.

The two sons, Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhiji, were already waiting in the cabin. After a while, Yu Wenji hurried in and bowed and said, "See Mr. Father."

"Yeah! Close the door!"

Yuwen Shu smelled a smell of alcohol on her son and couldn't help but frown and said, "Have you drunk?"

Yu Wenshi said quickly: "The child just drank a few glasses of wine with Li Shude, the young supervisor in the hall."

"Drink with Li Yuan?"

Yuwen Shu looked at him and asked, "Have he said something from his heart to you, such as being dissatisfied with the court."

Yu Wenshi shook his head and said, "Li Shude is a loyal and honest man. He is determined to find a job for Jiancheng, so he didn't say anything else?"

"Hmph! He is not loyal, but timid, and he is afraid of things. A small young prison in the hall satisfies him. It is a pity that he is still the grandson of Li Hu, which is simply embarrassing his ancestors."

Yuwen Shu disdained Li Yuan, so she turned the topic back and whispered to her three sons: "I call you here today, and I have important things to tell you. Today, the ambitions of the upper class are too great and will do their own way. I think the world may be in chaos. Our Yuwen family must be prepared first, so that when the opportunity comes, we can only follow the trend."

Yu Wenshi was secretly surprised. Li Yuan was really right. His father also had ambitions. He didn't dare to say too much and lowered his head.

Yuwen Shu glanced at him and the one he was most worried about was his second son. After all, he was the prince-consort, and he might not agree with his ideas. Yuwen Shu was going to have a good talk with his son again.

He was about to continue speaking, and at this moment, the confidant guard outside the door said, "General, the Lord will send someone to announce you."

Yuwen Shu had no choice but to stop talking and said to his three sons: "Anyway, you must have a clear idea in your heart, don't be foolish and loyal, think more about our family, and don't be anxious about entering the government. We must make a long-term plan."
