The drum sounded eighteen times, and there was only one shocking drum sound in the whole city of Chang'an.
Li Yuanxing was sitting in the palace, under a tree, and opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the drum.
"Your Highness, I'm going to check!" The old wolf said as he was about to walk out. Li Yuanxing waved his hand to stop him: "No, I know what this drum sound is? This is a letter of war. There is a murderous sound in this drum sound.
, and even some resentment. So, this is a letter of challenge, replacing the one written in this book!"
The old wolf was silent. He couldn't even think about how many enemies King Qin had.
Do you want to start a war? No matter who you start a war with, the old wolf is not afraid. There is nothing to fear about death!
Zhuque Gate! After the eighteen drums, the sound of armour-wearing came, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty donned their armor at the same time.
Two pairs of closed eyes opened almost at the same time, Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuanxing, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty.
This is not the end, this is the beginning.
Offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, offering sacrifices to heaven. Li Er's every move was so pious, completely pious from the heart.
When he first ascended the throne, he won a great victory in the first battle. This is great luck!
When he first ascended the throne, he displayed his military power and intimidated the world. He felt very happy as an emperor.
At the beginning of his accession to the throne, all nations came to congratulate him. The Tang Dynasty finally got rid of the shadow of the Turks and looked down on all the countries in the world as a nation.
Oh, the Tang Dynasty! What a magnificent Tang Dynasty!
Li Er felt an urge to shout loudly in his chest, and at the same time, a murderous aura emerged in his chest. Those who had not contributed to the Tang Dynasty, and had not shed blood for the Tang Dynasty, but came to divide it after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
benefit.
Apart from those idle members of the Li family, Li Er was more ruthless than another family.
It's just that it's not time yet, let Li Yuanxing take action first and teach those guys who didn't fight for the Tang Dynasty but got benefits in the Tang Dynasty a lesson.
Li Er offered sacrifices to his ancestors and to heaven and earth.
But Li Yuanxing was studying the list given by Li Er. There were not many people, there were only four people in total, and including Changle King Li Youliang, there were only five people.
These five people have one thing in common, that is, they have threatened Li Er.
For example, Li Youliang, the king of Changle, was the son of Li Yuan's sixth uncle. He had already held military power when Li Yuan succeeded Tang Guogong. When Li Yuan raised the anti-Sui banner, he did not join the banner, but occupied his own territory in Liangzhou.
Territory, chose to wait and see.
Even when Li Yuan and Dou Jiande were at odds and preparing to go to war, he actually had contacts with Dou Jiande, and it was not just ordinary contacts, but transactions of food, ordnance, and slaves. When the two armies were fighting, Dou Jiande went north
Li Youliang also proclaimed himself a minister to the north.
At that time, Li Youliang planned to become an independent king like Liang Shidu.
But later, Dou Jiande was defeated and died!
Li Er personally went to Li Youliang and asked Li Youliang to join the Tang army, but he was rejected. He only gave him old rice and thousands of stones, which was considered a plan for Li Er. This matter left a thorn in Li Er's heart.
What Li Er couldn't forget the most was that when he was having a bloody battle with Wang Shi, Li Youliang came again. He wanted to be crowned king at the beginning of his speech, and he also demanded that Liangzhou be permanently controlled. Every year, the army, food and weapons could be said to be like a lion's mouth.
Li Er endured it, and Li Yuan endured it even more. In order to fight Wang Shichong with all his strength, Li Youliang was granted the title of King of Changle, and Liangzhou will be ruled forever!
Next, after so many years, Li Youliang set up private collection cards to collect taxes in Liangzhou, and the total amount was already an astronomical figure. This time, Li Youliang entered Chang'an, originally to ask for the recovery of military expenses, because the Turks were becoming more and more powerful.
But he met Li Yuanxing, and Li Youliang discovered that Li Yuanxing had a gold mine. If he didn't get some benefits, he would not leave Chang'an City, so he found Li Yuanxing three times.
"Your Highness, Duke Lueyang wants to see you!" Lao Lang saw a personal guard approaching, and after questioning, he came back to report.
"Who?" Li Yuanxing really didn't know what Lueyang County Duke meant. Old Lang had no choice but to whisper: "The clan, Li Daozong, is the Holy Emperor's cousin!"
Li Yuanxing thought for a while, it was weird. At this time, if this guy is not going to participate in the sacrifice, what is he doing here?
"Please!" Li Yuanxing knew he had to meet him. He didn't know who the Duke was, but he knew Li Daozong. Li Yuan had mentioned this name, and Li Er had also mentioned it. He was a figure in the clan who had fought bloody battles for the Tang Dynasty. And his
My father made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
But another weird thing is that in historical records, Li Shao was posthumously granted the title, so he should have died.
But now, he is still alive.
Li Yuanxing is still thinking about why future generations will record death, but in fact he is still alive. This is not because of his own appearance. To change history, it is impossible to make dead people come back to life.
Li Daozong is twenty-seven years old this year, one year younger than Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.
He was a general, capable of conquest and warfare, literary and military skills, and his research on Confucianism was no worse than that of ordinary Confucian scholars. This is the evaluation of Li Daozong in history, combined with the evaluations of Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanxing believed that Li Daozong was definitely a capable person.
The two greeted each other and sat down respectively.
"If you're not going to attend the sacrifice, what are you doing here?" Li Yuanxing said directly.
But Li Daozong asked: "The general of the army is here to drink tea and enjoy the autumn. I don't know why you don't participate in the sacrifice?"
"I intend to kill people, so I sharpen my sword here!" Li Yuanxing personally poured a cup of tea for Li Daozong.
Li Daozong silently took the tea cup: "I wonder if His Highness needs a sharp blade, Daozong is willing to give it to you!"
Li Yuanxing looked Li Daozong up and down, shook his head gently, and nodded again: "I want to ask you a question. If I ask the wrong question, don't get angry. I'm just confused!"
"Excuse me, Your Highness?" Li Daozong answered Li Yuanxing seriously.
Li Yuanxing said in his heart that he was good enough, but when he spoke, he couldn't sleep without worrying about it. He still asked: "Your father's name is Li Shao. It seems that he died during the Wude period, but it seems that he was still with me the night before.
My father and I drank together. I don’t understand this very much!”
Li Zongdao smiled, but his smile was bitter.
"Your Highness, do you really want to know?"
"It seems there is something strange in it. I really want to know."
"This is a secret from the clan. A few years ago, my family competed with the Changle Wang family for land. The Changle King's 10,000 private soldiers had already arrived in front of my house. They could not fight or hide. So my father died, because no matter what the reason,
There is a death in my family, and no matter how much hatred King Changle has against my family, he can no longer use weapons."
suspended animation!
This was the only explanation for why a prince was required to fake his death. It seemed that the situation at that time was extremely dangerous.
"This is a family shame!" Li Daozong said word for word.
Li Yuanxing understood. Li Daozong must have heard the news. It was probably Li Yuan who passed it to his ears through his father. None of the three Li Daozong brothers were easy to bully. When the opportunity for revenge came, Li Daozong was ready to fight for his life.
"How about writing a letter for me?" Li Yuanxing said after thinking for a while.
"To whom and what letter?" Li Daozong asked very directly.
Li Yuanxing waved to Lao Lang, who made a sword-wielding salute and then withdrew.
"Li Ji killed several people in Liangzhou. It was just to establish his authority, but he did not dare to touch the foundation of King Changle. This is what I want, because the time is not there. In the war against the Turks, there is no room for chaos in the rear. Wang Junkuo
The chaos almost killed Cheng Zhijie, so neither I nor Senior Brother Yao think it is right to antagonize King Changle."
After Li Yuanxing said this, Li Daozong also nodded: "Your Highness is wise!"
"You and I are brothers. When it comes to talking about it, I want to call you cousin. Let's call me Wulang. I, Li Yuanxing, have a principle. I will never use my brothers as swordsmen. If I want to chop someone, we will chop together, and if we want to be knifed, we will suffer together!"
"I believe it!" Why doesn't Li Daozong believe it? Li Yuanxing exchanged the golden crown of the King of Qin for the life of a sergeant. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows it, and no one has failed to do so. There are people who praise it, and there are many. There are also people who scold it, and some scold it.
It's hard to hear. But there is one thing that everyone in the world agrees on. Li Yuanxing is a man of affection and righteousness. He treats his brothers and his father with sincerity and sincerity!
Li Yuanxing took out a pen and paper and put it in front of Li Daozong: "Two letters, one is written to Li Xiaogong, telling him to go to Li Ji after returning to the army. The other letter tells Li Ji that when the king needs it, he must send troops to help.
Li Xiaogong gave me Li Yuanxing to pacify Liangzhou."
After talking about Pingliang Prefecture, Li Yuanxing was also struggling in his mind whether the killing was too heavy.
Li Er's words appeared in Li Yuanxing's mind at this time. The small kindness of those in power will actually cause more people to lose their lives.
"What Brother Shubao did in Daizhou is a limit. Just don't exceed it, otherwise I will be in trouble!"
"I would like to be a pioneer!" Li Daozong immediately expressed his stance.
Li Yuanxing refused: "No, this battle belongs to me. I don't need anyone to charge forward on my behalf." At this point, Li Yuanxing smiled: "I am the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. I still don't believe it.
What can they do to me? Kill me, or rob me of my title?"
Li Daozong wanted to tell Li Yuanxing not to underestimate these people, they only work for profit.
"Pass a message for me." Li Yuanxing was about to see off the guests. After Li Daozong thought about it, he didn't say what he was going to say anymore. He nodded silently, saluted and left.
After Li Daozong left, Wu Zhao came in.
"You have changed!" Wu Zhao's serious tone when he spoke surprised Li Yuanxing.
Lao Lang and others immediately withdrew. No matter what they heard at this time, it would be trouble. It would be safest not to listen. Lao Lang was a very smart person in this direction.
Wu Zhao stepped on the chair, trying to keep himself as high as possible without looking up at Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing sighed deeply: "Actually, we are not here to enjoy ourselves in Datang. In other words, my mentality is not good. Or maybe I am too nervous." (To be continued. Please
