The wine bottle was a bit big, and Yu Wenshi and his body were not as good as before. After drinking a bottle of wine, his stomach was churning, the smell of alcohol was rising, and he was a little drunk...
Resisting the turbulence in his stomach, Yu Wenshiji put down his wine glass, put a piece of pastry into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and then he felt slightly relieved.
Li Huaiqin clapped his hands and drove the two "Rabbit Masters" out. He sat upright, stared at Yuwen Shiji with an unruly look, and asked with a smile: "The Duke of Ying came here in the rain. I don't know why?"
Although he is well-maintained, he is actually over fifty and is no longer interested in men and women. On the contrary, in recent years, he has become more and more interested in these handsome and delicate men. It happens that women are not allowed to accompany the army, so he often
I brought a few "rabbits" with me and played with them in my spare time. It was a unique experience.
Yu Wenshiji exhaled a breath of alcohol and met the other party's eyes: "Why does the prince ask questions knowingly?"
Li Huaiqin was dissatisfied and said angrily: "You people are the most troublesome. You say it clearly when you have something to say, and you always make people guess. If you guess wrong, you have to laugh at you. Is this to show that you are smarter than others? It's boring."
He took the jug and poured a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. The wine dripped down his beard and onto his chest, and he just wiped it casually without paying any attention to it.
The behavior is wanton and rough, and there is no pampering and graceful behavior among the clan members...
Yu Wenshiji knew that this prince was really difficult to deal with, not because he was so witty and clever, but because he was really surly, moody, and had a style of behavior that was difficult to predict and could not be judged by common sense.
Now that I have something to ask for, I can only suppress my dissatisfaction and say with a smile: "When talking to smart people, naturally you have to use a smart way and tell everything clearly. Sometimes good things can lead to bad things. It's better to see things clearly but not tell them clearly.
The best realm.”
Li Huaiqin thought about it while holding the wine glass, and shook his head: "Maybe, but for me, I really don't want to waste my brains on these things. I will speak frankly, no matter what rhetoric you have prepared this time, please still
Don't open your mouth, I, the king, will not be able to do what you wish."
He is not stupid. Now the city of Chang'an is in chaos, with rivers of blood flowing. The entire Guanlong clan is tied together to support the king of Jin. Yuwenshi and Yu Wenshi who are not in Chang'an city come here, but what is the purpose? Isn't it obvious?
Yuwen Shiji adjusted his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Li Huaiqin sneered and nodded his finger at Yu Wenshiji, showing no respect at all: "Do you think this king is a fool? Then Dou Xi is considered a relative of the emperor. He forced Yin Qinzhou to send troops to Chang'an, but the Yin family in Liquan ended up running
After decades of fighting, the entire army of the First Guard was annihilated, and Dou Xi was even shown his head by Fang Er under the Xuanwu Gate as a warning to others. I never belittle myself, but I also don’t think that I am the opponent of Fang Er, and I still want a good head.
Why should you seek death when you indulge in fine wine, beautiful women, glory and wealth? It has nothing to do with you supporting the King of Jin to fight for the throne. I will fight for yours. If you win in the future, I sincerely congratulate you, but I am extremely satisfied with the status quo and will not
Go take a dip in your muddy waters."
Do you really think that since he is in charge of Xi County, he doesn’t know anything about Chang’an?
Dou Xi was considered an elder of Guan Long and a relative of the emperor. As a result, Fang Jun had his head chopped off without even blinking. Li Huaiqin would not think that he could gain Fang Jun's respect because of his status as a county king.
.
Yu Wenshiji shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "No wonder everyone in the world says that you, Prince Hui of Nanyang, are the most stupid person in the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I know that the rumors are true... Prince Hu Tu!"
Li Huaiqin's eyes were unkind: "You old thing, you'd better speak clearly, otherwise don't blame me for tying you up and sending you to His Majesty!"
Yu Wenshiji thought for a moment, he was afraid that you would kick me out indiscriminately, but it would be easier if he was willing to speak...
Sitting upright after taking some time to relax, he asked instead of answering: "The reason why the prince is unwilling to support King Jin is because he wants to maintain the status quo?"
Li Huaiqin said nothing and acquiesced.
Yu Wenshiji added: "But doesn't the prince know what happened to your two cousins?"
Li Huaiqin's eyes flickered.
Since he deliberately mentioned his "cousins", they would naturally not be from Li Yuan's lineage, but from the two sons of his second uncle Li Zhan, Li Boyi, King Gong of Longxi, and Li Fengci, King Jing of Bohai.
It is said that the two people who tried to cause trouble in Zongzheng Temple have been captured by Han Wang Li Yuanjia and Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong. However, the war around Chang'an is tense, and all kinds of information are extremely tightly blocked. Until now, Li Huaiqin has not yet found Li Boyi and Li Fengci.
specific news.
But you can guess that even if these two people don't die, they will be banned for life and stripped of their titles...
Yu Wenshi continued: "To be honest, those two people have been killed in the rebellion... The clan is extremely silent, and no one dares to come forward to seek justice for them, but they are the children of the Li Tang royal family! If it were not their father
If you die early, the title of 'Tang Guogong' will definitely fall on you, and you may be able to create an imperial family business! What's more, when Emperor Gaozu founded the country, the descendants of the clan fought bloody battles and succeeded each other.
But what kind of honor is given to you? Guard Xi County and you are not allowed to leave without permission! You are as free as a dolphin or a dog!"
Li Huaiqin remained silent, poured wine again, and drank it all in one gulp.
Although he was frightened by the fate of Li Boyi and Li Fengci, if he only stopped there, he would not be moved to launch an army to attack Chang'an.
What's wrong with guarding Yi County? The land of Gyeonggi is prosperous and rich, and I am happy to do whatever I want in the army...
Yu Wenshi Ji encouraged his words: "From the death of Dou Xi, the prince can see His Majesty's attitude towards Guan Long, and he wishes he could kill them all! And the entanglement between Guan Long and the clan is deep, how could the prince not know it?
?As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. As long as His Majesty raises the butcher knife to Guanlong, he will be implicated in many ways. How can the clan stay out of it? If the clan is not at peace, the prince will be the first to bear the brunt!"
Li Huaiqin's hand holding the glass paused slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
He is not a silverfish without pursuits, but when His Majesty Li Er was in power, he was wise, powerful, resolute, and witnessed the "Xuanwu Sect Change" and the bloody massacre within the clan with his own eyes. He once had the potential to become the helmsman of the Li family in Longxi.
As a person, it is natural that he has trouble sleeping and eating, and is frightened. He can only huddle in this land of Xi County, drinking and having fun, drunk and dreaming, trying to avoid the sight of His Majesty Li Er as much as possible.
More than ten years of gentle love in the countryside have already worn away all the frustration and resentment. Even if His Majesty Li Er died, Li Chengqian came to the throne, and even if Guan Long launched a mutiny, he always stayed out of it, thinking only of wealth and glory, and enjoying the rest of his life.
But now that the King of Jin has rebelled, the situation is completely different.
In the past, when the Guanlong rebellion occurred, the emperor would most likely purge Guanlong from the court after he secured the throne. After all, the Li family in Longxi was originally from the Guanlong lineage, and their interests were entangled and intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish them. In many cases, they could only give in to one side.
.
He, the county prince, will not be involved.
But the King of Jin is the younger brother of the emperor, and the person closest to the throne in the clan. When the King of Jin raises an army, in a sense, it is a battle between the emperor and the clan. When the King of Jin is wiped out, he will inevitably go back and clean up the clan to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
As a "high-status" prince, he may not be able to stay out of the matter...
After pondering for a long time, Li Huaiqing weighed the pros and cons and shook his head slowly: "Since Cheng Yaojin rushed to Xianyang Bridge to isolate things, it is impossible for anyone to rush to Chang'an from Guanzhong, not to mention that Cheng Yaojin himself is a veteran of hundreds of battles and a distinguished minister of Zhenguan.
, Zuo Wuwei under his command is even more elite and fierce, one is worth ten. Looking at Guanzhong, who dares to say that victory will be won? If you can't overcome the hurdle of Cheng Yaojin, the rest are all lies."
Perhaps a few days ago, he was still somewhat ambitious and led his army to compete with the army loyal to the emperor. However, since Yin Qinzhou recently led his left guard to cross the Weishui River in an attempt to attack Chang'an, but was defeated by Fang Jun, he
Only then did I realize how powerful the top troops among the Sixteen Guards really were.
Even if Zuowuwei is not as good as Youtunwei, how much difference can there be?
Back in Liaodong, Zuo Wuwei followed Cheng Yaojin to capture the city, destroy the city and build the stronghold, and gallop across the wasteland invincibly. How could the 20,000 soldiers under his command be coveted?
When Yu Wenshi saw his heartbeat, he was overjoyed and said in a low voice: "If Cheng Yaojin is stationed at Xianyang Bridge but does not move, can the prince of the county send troops directly to Chang'an?"
Li Huaiqin was stunned and said in disbelief: "What Duke Ying meant... Could it be that the old thief Cheng Yaojin just made another false move and did not surrender to His Majesty wholeheartedly?"
Since the King of Jin raised his army, Cheng Yaojin's various behaviors have been widely spread. His swaying behavior towards Qin, Mu, and Chu has been despised by both the government and the public. They all laughed at him for his weak stance and half-heartedness.
In the end, no one was pleased.
Now that Chang'an is approaching the decisive moment, Cheng Yaojin still hasn't made up his mind?
Yu Wenshi said: "That's not entirely true. It's just that even if Cheng Yaojin makes up his mind to join His Majesty, he may not be willing to isolate Xianyang Bridge with one man as the gate."
Li Huaiqin asked curiously: "Why is this?"
You raised a flag to submit to His Majesty, and took the initiative to withdraw from Mingde Gate and rush to Xianyang Bridge to block possible enemies in Guanzhong, Longyou and other areas for His Majesty. However, when Li Jing, Xue Wanche and others had entered the city and the defense outside the city was empty, you
Allow the Guanzhong army to cross Xianyang Bridge to attack Chang'an?
Even Hutu would not do things like this...
Yu Wenshiji looked determined and said with a smile: "It is not necessarily possible to allow the Guanzhong army to attack Chang'an, but as long as the prince of the county assumes a posture of fighting to the death, Cheng Yaojin will definitely retreat."
Li Huaiqin's drunken eyes opened completely and flashed: "I would like to hear the details!"
"Why did Cheng Yaojin dare to sway against Qin Mu and Chu when the King of Jin raised his army? The reason is that Zuo Wuwei under his command is the strongest army in the world, and it is also the foundation of Cheng Yaojin. As long as Zuo Wuwei is there, who dares to touch him
? Even the emperor can't do it! That's why Cheng Yaojin dared to use Zuo Wuwei as a bet to win a great achievement. However, he didn't expect that the situation would change again and again, causing his plan to completely fail and fall into a passive situation. Now if someone
With red eyes, fight him to the death with swords and guns, do you think he dares to take it?"
