Five hundred and ninetieth chapters Xiongdu (thirty-four)
"I know that my sins are serious and I will redeem myself for my sins even if I die. So I took the initiative to come to my house to ask for death tonight. Erlang, as a descendant of the Li family, chopping off my head can be regarded as avenging my ancestors. Please do it!"
In Li Shimin's military tent, the Minister of Justice, the General of the Right Martial Guard, the Doctor of the Right Guanglu, and the Duke of the Guijun Weixuan knelt in front of Li Shimin, and grabbed his elbow from behind with his arms. This is the common surrender posture in the army nowadays. With Wei Xuan's status, even when he was at a loss, he would end his life in a decent way with a glass of poisonous wine or a piece of white silk. He would never kneel down in front of Li Shimin like a veteran. Because of his actions, Li Shimin was helpless and didn't know how to deal with this old man.
As a descendant of the Li family, it is impossible to say that there is no hatred when facing those who dig their own ancestral graves. Although the person who digs the graves is Yinshi Master and not Wei Xuan, Li Shimin is very clear in his heart. Without this old man as a backer, even if Yinshi Master wants to dig a grave, no one can use it. As the leader of the northern family, the Li family has made many friends over the years, has always been kind to the powerful people in the capital, and has the power of aristocratic families to help. Even if they have never been attached, they have never wanted to offer their own support. However, gathering the power of the people is enough to restrain Yinshi Master's hands and feet, making it impossible for him to act according to his wishes.
It was this old man who supported him, so that Yin Shishi could do whatever he wanted according to his own thoughts. He even drove people out of the city, mobilized a large number of 100 million divine crossbows to defend the city, and launched a massacre of killing in the capital. These things were inseparable from Wei Xuan. In other words, the Li family was forced to this point, and even tonight's hard battle, and the biggest culprit was the old man in front of him! According to his own temperament, he naturally did not say anything and killed people without saying a word, cutting off his head to relieve his anger. But the problem is... he can't.
As the leader of the army, Erlang of the Li family, he was destined to be unable to act according to his heart and nature, nor could he pursue a grudge. No matter how many Wei Xuan had, his status, status and even his hope were placed there. Even if his father saw him, he had to keep his words decent and not kill him without saying a word.
He now acted like this and slashed him with another sword. I wonder how many people would stand up and say that he had been harsh in his actions. Maybe he would be accustomed to the adults. What's more, at this moment, Wei Xuan's life is already related to Chang'an City. He cut down with one sword not one person, but a city. How could he do this?
No matter how reluctant he is, he can only pretend to be perfunctory. However, he cannot be so heart-warming and he has to wave his hand and say, "Duke Wei doesn't have to do this! If you have anything to say, just sit down and say it. Someone is not a bloodthirsty person, and you won't be a murderer. Duke Wei doesn't have to pretend to be bold! If you really want to die, you won't enter our military tent."
Wei Xuan was not angry at Li Shimin's tone or attitude, and he didn't even look ashamed at all. Over the years, the father and son who followed him were not magnanimous people. He had already developed an extraordinary courage and the ability to do whatever he wanted without fear of favor and disgust. Even if the moody and great emperor trusted him, he would beat him up in his daily words. If he had insulted an unknown temper, he would have insulted him.
Compared with Emperor Daye, Li Shimin's derogatory point is nothing. Moreover, the two sides are already hostile, so such a statement is even less problematic. Even Wei Xuan compared the young man in front of him with Yang Guang in his heart, and he had to admit that the Li family Erlang was enough to deserve the word "benevolent king".
This is the case with the second son, who has always been famous for his bravery and strongness, how kind should Li Yuan, who enjoys the reputation of benevolence in the circle of noble people? Compared with the two sides, it is self-evident who the civil and military ministers of the court support more. It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. Even if Li Yuan's kindness pretends to behave, he is a more loyal lord before his true face is revealed.
This is the so-called qi and magnitude. At Wei Xuan's identity and age, he no longer cared about the prophecies and divination of the qi and national fortunes in his eyes. In his opinion, the qi and national fortunes of the warlock were all these things that were put into practice. Starting from the fact that Li Yuan gritted his teeth and accepted hundreds of thousands of people, this qi and magnitude competition had already achieved results, but he had never noticed it in the situation. Now that he has broken out of this dispute of right and wrong, he can see it more clearly.
Since Li Shimin had spoken, Wei Xuan stopped acting. He stood up and dusted the dust on his body, and sat down at the lower head. The old man who was killed in his neck disappeared. The emperor took charge of the temple and took charge of the capital, and turned his palms to change the capital's ownership and change the world, and returned again!
"Erlang is a smart person, and he should know the intention of his arrival. You and I don't have to go around many circles. Besides, the capital is close to you, and those military men don't know what they think. The longer the time goes, the more likely it is to create variables. If anyone wants to enter the city to make a fortune, your achievements to break through the city will disappear. Therefore, we might as well say something, how much wealth and heads do you want to spare the life of the King of Dai Qiansui?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "My Li family raised an army for the people of the world. It is not a selfish desire, and he never thought about usurping the throne in the court. How could he harm the life of the King of Dai? This statement of Duke Wei is really unreasonable!"
Wei Xuan's face looked ugly: "Although you and I are hostile, I have finally been in the same palace. Even if the Duke of Tang is here, I have to respectfully call me a senior. You are so young that you are playing these tricks in front of me at this age. If you want to kill me, just use a knife to cut them! If you want to talk about serious matters, don't say these useless words. The 100,000 tigers under your Li family are not short of loyal people who sacrifice their lives. The second and third madmen are trying to kill the Supreme with their own swords, and then they will put a head on the matter. I have seen many such tricks. My words
Here, although Daxing is not enough to stop the Li family's soldiers, he can fight with you to die together! I don't want much, as long as the King of Desert is safe, you can get the wealth, food and grass in the city. If you can't even guarantee this, everyone will disperse! Just use your means, and I promise that you will only get a ruin in the end! At that time, those hungry military and military people will probably not be the first to cook your father and son! I have said this to this point. If you can't get a truth from your words, it's better to clean up as soon as possible and fight to the death!"
Li Shimin also knew that with Wei Xuan's age, qualifications and years of experience in the ups and downs of the officialdom, he could just talk nonsense with him for a day without getting to the point, and he could not find any mistakes. Now these words are equivalent to confessing his thoughts. If he tried to perfunctorily, he would be afraid that this old man would really change his color and set fire to the city like he said.
Although this old man must have left behind in the city in the army, he would have failed to attack the city at this time. Maybe the old man had already agreed with his subordinates that as long as the agreed signal is not visible at the agreed time, the city would immediately set fire and kill people. Not only would Chang'an City not be able to get it, but the lives of Xu Le and others would be difficult to save.
In Li Shimin's mind, whether it is the life of the King of Dai Yang You, the armored staff in front of him or even the accumulated armored staff in the city, and the food and grass together, it is not as important as Xu Le's life. Even for the sake of the safety of his friends, he has to comfort the old man first.
Therefore, Li Shimin replied very quickly: "This matter is of great importance. Even if a certain family promises, it may not be useful. Mr. Wei should meet the family and ask for a military order from the adults."
"The distant water cannot quench the nearest thirst, and now I don't care about that much. I will definitely go and ask for it, but now, what I want is your words. Do you agree to a certain condition?"
Li Shimin said seriously: "I can swear to the heaven that I have no intention of harming the King of Dai Qiansui. If Duke Wei is willing to submit to the city, Li will protect the safety of the palace with his confidant soldiers. As long as Yang You himself does not have any false thoughts, I will ensure that he is safe and sound! Not only King of Dai, but also civil and military officials and even family members in the city will be guaranteed to be undisturbed. If anyone plunders the nobles, he will not be disturbed by any nuisance, without asking about his identity, and his official positions will be rectified on the spot! If you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
When he said this, Wei Xuan always stared at Li Shimin, his old eyes locked in Li Shimin's eyes. When Li Shimin finished speaking, Wei Xuan nodded and said, "That Shenwu Xu Le only recognizes you, Erlang, and it really makes sense. If you had been born for decades, it would be difficult to say this great country for whom the world is. Well, I believe you! Let your subordinates light three piles of fire outside, and make a font of firewood, three feet and five feet apart. The three piles of fire must be lit more vigorously so that the city will not be visible. If they cannot see the fire, the fire in the city will probably start. I will go back and arrange for my subordinates to open the city. When the army of Duke of Tang arrived, King Qiansui of Dai personally brought the seal to welcome him and respectfully invited Duke of Tang to the capital!"
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made Wei Xuan believe in himself, protecting Chang'an City and Xu Le's entire army. He knew that he was also in danger of doing this. The so-called slandering the people was just a trick of fools. He betrayed his whole family and his life, of course, to make the country change its owner and win the capital of Jiuzhou.
Since the Five Barbarians invaded China, it was common for usurpers to kill the throne, and even kill the emperors of the previous dynasty. My father is known for being kind, and it would be inconvenient to order people to kill people in person. However, the life of the King of Dai Yang You is also a hot bun for the Li family. Killing is neither a waste nor a release. Even if the Yang family itself has lost the hearts of the people, as long as someone wants to be unfavorable to the Li family, he can use the Yang family as a banner to gather the army to attack each other.
Besides, since the tens of thousands of Jingzhao Yingyang who stayed in Chang'an had surrendered, they could not be killed casually. However, with Yang You, these tens of thousands of soldiers could not be used. After all, the troops guarding the capital were very favored by the Yang family. If someone wanted to rescue the emperor or had other thoughts, there might be any trouble at any time.
In other words, keeping Yang You or other Yang family members will have to bear the responsibility of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people who may rebel or cause other chaos at any time. As the vanguard of the entire army of the Li family, he should have shared the worries for his father and eliminated this hidden danger in the bud. But now in order to protect Xu Le, he can only temporarily put these things aside. My father doesn't say anything, and he is afraid that he will inevitably be disappointed with him. Even if his father doesn't think so, the think tanks around him will not let him go.
However, thinking about what Xu Le did for him, it is natural that he should bear all this and he has nothing to complain about. As long as Le Langjun and his subordinates are safe, it is worth offending the adults.
