A lucky escape
Two days later, during the early morning court, Yang Yue, the younger brother of Yue Gong Yang Su and the young minister of Dali Temple, wrote to the emperor, complaining that "when the fourth prince Yang Jun was patrolling to prevent disasters, he made friends with foreign ministers, disregarded the dignity of the royal family, defrauded the people of money and food, and insulted the state."
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was already suspicious. After listening to Yang Yue's performance, he recalled a dream he had last night. In the dream, he was standing on the city, overlooking the great rivers and mountains. Suddenly, the city under his feet was flooded, and three plum trees were submerged.
After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty woke up, he became more suspicious and fearful, and thought: "I once saw a tree on the city in my dream, and there were fruits on the tree. The tree is the root, and the fruit on the tree is the son of the tree. The two characters for wood, combined with the character for Li, are exactly the same."
Maybe someone whose name has the character Shuibang in it may bring harm to the country in the future." He had doubts in his heart.
At this time, when he heard that Yang Jun was making friends with foreign ministers, he immediately thought of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty. Not only did his name coincide with the scene in his dream, but Yang Jun also praised Li Yuan highly in his memorial. He was immediately furious and wanted to issue an edict to depose Yang Jun.
The title was the same as that of the deposed prince Yang Yong. Li Yuan removed his title and returned to the capital to accept the crime.
Upon seeing this, Gao Jiong, the Prime Minister of the Shang Shu, hurriedly came out and said: "Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, has always been loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and served the court. Now that he has been appointed as the governor of Longzhou for the first time, he has been very effective in fighting disasters. Now that he is punished, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be shaken, which will not be beautiful."
.Although the fourth prince has inappropriate words and deeds, we still need evidence as to whether he is acting for personal gain and forming a clique. We cannot make a conclusion based on just one word. Instead of letting Li Yuan go to the capital to report on his work, and ask him carefully before making any calculations, he will be rewarded for his merits.
Anyone who goes too far will be punished."
After hearing this, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty hesitated and was unsure about paying attention.
This is Zuo Zhu Guo Shi Long Live's memorial to Your Majesty. He agrees with Gao Jiong's words and says that the overall situation should be given priority at present. If the Holy One has doubts, just remove Li Yuan's military power and prevent him from managing military matters.
This Shi Wansui was the most brave general in the Sui Dynasty. He worked with Li Yuan to destroy the Chen Dynasty, and later quelled the rebellion in Jiangnan and the Qiang rebellion in the southwest. His military exploits were so great that he was named General Zuowu and Zuozhuguo.
The estrangement between Gao Jun and Shi Wansui only saved Li Yuan, but it only kept him alive.
After Shi Wansui went to court, he ordered people to summon Li Yuan at high speed and secretly ordered Li Yuan to resign. At that time, many people with the surname Li in the court were begging to return to their fields or resign from the army.
Li Yuan heard that someone in the court had framed him and the fourth prince Yang Jun for forming a party. He was so frightened that he immediately wrote to the emperor, requesting that he be stripped of his military power and begging to return to his hometown in Longxi to recuperate.
The Holy Spirit approved of his performance, but the gloom in his heart was hard to get rid of.
Yang Guang learned about the emperor's nightmare from Queen Dugu and shouted that he had missed the opportunity and let Li Yuan live.
The anger in his heart could not be dissipated, so he ordered the general Pei Renji to report to the emperor: "General Youxiao Wei, Doctor Guanglu, and Duke Li Hun of the State of Xi are named Yingtu prophecies. Recently, because Your Majesty sent his son to death, he harbors resentment and has evil intentions."
The imperial edict came down to investigate, and a group of people agreed with it. They made Li Hunqiang, the Duke of Nian, a traitor. Thirty-two members of his family were handed over to the city cao.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty felt relieved, and Yang Guang took the opportunity to eradicate his dissidents. He was also happy in his heart. He only pitied the descendants of the Li family in the capital. Hearing this, everyone trembled in their legs and felt in danger.
The Sui Dynasty's usage of it was too harsh, so it is expected that the country's lineage will not last long.
If you have enough energy, you can take your family and take care of yourself and return home to avoid disaster. If you don't have the ability, you can only pray every day.
…
Li Yuangang, who was far away in Longzhou, wrote a letter to resign, and he did not go to the government office. He claimed to be sick and rested at home.
On this day, Li Yuan took Jiancheng and Shimin to the east foot of Longshan Mountain for hunting and outing, and Changsheng took Cui'er and Zi Qiao with him.
After wandering around for a whole morning, he caught a hare and two pheasants. Li Yuan was in a good mood and suggested that they camp by the fire on the mountain.
Before Changsheng could speak, Cui'er who was accompanying him blurted out: "Article 5, Paragraph 12 of the "Longshan Camp Rules": Camp members are not allowed to use open fires when working in the mountains, cooking, and staying overnight. If an open fire must be used in an emergency, they must
Make sure to extinguish and bury them before leaving. Violators will be locked up for three days..."
She recited it fluently and didn't notice Li Yuan's embarrassed look.
Changsheng smiled: "Father came two days late. The new rules were officially implemented the day before yesterday. Everyone in the camp must follow the routine, even the children are no exception."
Li Yuan nodded nonchalantly, looked at the pheasants and rabbits in his hands, and gave up the idea of having a picnic. Jiancheng beside him secretly swallowed his saliva.
Li Shimin didn't care about this, he ran over and rubbed Chang Sheng's face, asking her to agree to camp here.
When Changsheng saw him, he felt angry, but his strength was weak and he couldn't break away. He could only shout: "Let go, let go!"
The more she shouted, the harder Li Shimin used his strength. He grabbed Chang Sheng tightly and threatened, "I won't let him go. I won't let him go. Do you agree or not?"
Chang Sheng was annoyed by him, so he stepped on Li Shimin hard, causing him to jump on the spot in pain before he could escape.
Even her hair was disheveled and her clothes were wrinkled.
Changsheng glared at him fiercely, straightened his clothes, and after seeing Li Shimin's aggrieved look, he finally softened his heart: "Go back to the camp, and I'll cook you something new."
Li Shimin was overjoyed after hearing this. He knew that Lao Sanchang had always been vegetarian and was very particular about his food.
The food he cooked himself must taste good. She was so happy that she hurriedly urged everyone to follow her down the mountain.
Back in the camp, Changsheng asked the cook to remove the internal organs of the pheasant, stuff it with various seasonings and salt, wrap it in a thick layer of mud, and put it in the furnace to roast slowly.
On the other side, people took off the fur of the hare, removed the offal, and cut it into small pieces.
Put it in a pot, add water, ginger, white onions, and coarse salt. After boiling, skim off the blood foam and simmer over low heat. Then ask the attendants to notify Sun Simiao and Commander Liao.
After a while, Lao Sun came. Seeing the hare in the pot, he said to Changsheng: "Rabbits are cold in nature, so it is just right in the hot summer season. It can replenish qi, quench thirst, and strengthen the spleen. It will be of great benefit to your spleen."
After that, take out some Codonopsis pilosula and wolfberry, put them into the soup, and a pot of stewed rabbit meat becomes a medicinal meal.
Lao Sun has truly integrated medical skills into his life, and he always sticks to his profession.
Half an hour later, everyone was sitting in the meeting hall, with a bowl of stewed rabbit meat and a few biscuits in front of everyone.
Everyone watched Chang Sheng tear the Hu cake into small pieces, throw it into the soup to soak it, and then take a bite of the rabbit meat and a bite of the Hu cake. They all felt fresh.
Li Yuan asked: "What is the way to eat this?"
Changsheng took a sip of the hot soup and said with satisfaction: "Rabbit meat steamed buns."
"Paomo? This is obviously a cake..." Li Shimin just asked the question when he felt a pain in his forehead and was hit by a bone flying from Changsheng.
Changsheng curled his lips: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Li Shimin felt like he was about to cry. He felt that ever since he got a new name, Changsheng had become inexplicably irritable.
He was often beaten and scolded for no reason, and he also asked why, but Chang Sheng's answer was incredible:
"I don't like your name."
The eldest brother Jixiang acted as a peacemaker, "Okay, you two, take a rest first. You haven't stopped since the mountain... How do you eat this lump of earth in Changsheng?" Jixiang pointed to the beggar's chicken that was served.
said.
"How to eat it? Break it open." Changshengzhi asked someone to break open the outer hard shell, revealing the chicken wrapped in leaves inside.
Suddenly the room was filled with fragrance.
Ruyi jumped up impatiently and started to grab it. Changsheng grabbed him and said, "If you don't want to get blisters on your hands, just sit back."
She rolled her eyes at him, and then asked the cook to divide the chicken in a leisurely manner.
First, he brought a chicken leg to Sun Simiao. The old man picked it up without any objection and took a big bite.
After one bite, it was extremely plump. I couldn't help but praise it: "What a beggar chicken. If you can eat this chicken, even a beggar can do it."
Changsheng said happily: "If you like it, I will make it for you every day."
Sun Simiao smiled and shook his head, "Your chicken farm is good. The hens you raise can lay eggs and eat locusts, but it's a pity that one chicken can only eat this."
Changsheng said: "It was a pheasant shot in the back mountain at noon, as well as a rabbit. Even if we don't hunt, sooner or later Zhang Hu and the others will have to kill it. There are not many animals in the back mountain now. I can return the black bear skin."
You can keep it and make a big cloak when the weather gets cold. It will keep you warm."
"The bear skin is still there. I thought you would donate it to His Highness the Fourth Prince in exchange for some food."
"That was my original plan, but now I have a new plan..."
I've encountered some family issues recently and I'm in a bad mood. The updates may be slower. I hope everyone can forgive me.
Thank you again for your support!
