Chapter 052 Father, Son and Brother (3)(1/2)
Chapter 052 Father, son and brother - white and black hair, life and death from now on every place (3)
Liu Shuyi imitated Li Yuanji and put on the screen on his ears. Someone heard someone say, "I will discuss this for the matter of Zhen Thief for the time being. As for when to attack and how to defeat the enemy, let's discuss it next time. Mr. Liu, are you feeling unwell today? Why don't you say a word?"
Liu Shuyi thought to himself that I had never heard this person's voice. When he heard his tone, this person should be Li Yuan, Duke of Tang. My father never spoke a word today, probably because of me. When he saw that Li Yuan refused to let me enter the hall to discuss matters, he naturally felt angry.
Things were indeed as Liu Shuyi expected.
After Liu Wenjing entered the hall, she saw Li Shimin and Li Yuan whispering and talking in a low voice. Because they were far apart, the two of them spoke softly, but they couldn't hear clearly the content of the conversation. However, seeing Li Yuan's face was ugly and Li Shimin was covered in dust, the two seemed to be quarreling.
Liu Wenjing was such a smart person. I immediately thought that this matter should be related to his youngest son Liu Shuyi. After that, Li Shimin walked out of the hall and returned alone after a long time. There was no Liu Shuyi.
He was angry and angry, his head was hot, and he almost cursed and broke out. Fortunately, the disaster of Taiyuan County Prison had just passed, and the three Liu family father and son survived. He was taught a lesson and his perverse and irritable temper was restrained. In addition, his youngest son Liu Shuyi was advised, so he did not cause a huge disaster.
Otherwise, when outsiders were present in the Tang Duke's mansion, some people dared to insult the words at this time. No matter how well Li Yuan was in charge or loved his talents, all ten Liu Wenjings would die.
Liu Wenjing was already worried about Li Yuan’s arrogance at the time, but now she saw Li Yuan keeping his proud son away. Although he couldn’t have an attack, he still wanted to vent his dissatisfaction. Therefore, he did not say a word and protested silently.
At this moment, Li Yuan asked, and Liu Wenjing thought that if he was silent again at this time, it would be too much to lose Li Yuan's face if so many people were present. But after all, he was angry and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Shimin said, "Father, I blame me for this. This morning, Mr. Liu told me about his health discomfort and said, "I will only listen to it today. I have forgotten this."
Li Jiancheng's head was spinning quickly and immediately agreed.
But Li Yuan was not stupid, and he saw that there was something strange about it. He knew that Liu Wenjing had extraordinary talents and did not dare to be flattered by his temper. No matter what incredible things he did, it was not unusual.
He did not intend to pursue the investigation, and said, "Carrying, Shimin stays, please go back first, everyone else." He said that, and stood up and bowed to everyone one by one to say goodbye.
Tang Jian, Li Sixing, and Li Gaoqian hurriedly returned the gift and left the hall one by one. Liu Wenjing pretended not to see it, turned around and left.
Li Yuan was angry, but smiled on his face: "Who messed with him today?"
The Li brothers looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Li Yuan pondered for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "It's not because of the brave Liu Shuyi who caused a big disaster, right?" He said that he was brave and caused a big disaster, and it was Liu Shuyi who privately killed Wang Er.
He thumped up at the sky, stroked his beard and smiled, "You three are really. Liu Shuyi is only fifteen or sixteen years old. What is worthy of your attention? His father Liu Wenjing is indeed a little capable. As for Liu Shuyi, I don't think he has real talent and knowledge. I will not mention this person in front of me in the future."
The Li brothers were all crying for Liu Shuyi in their hearts, but because of their father's majesty, they did not dare to speak for him at this time, and they said together: "Yes!"
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Today, I will leave you and the two of you. There are important things to discuss with you. Recently, there are many rumors in Taiyuan City that someone intends to rebel and resist the court. You brothers often walk outside, but have you heard any news?"
Li Jiancheng knew that his father was hidden, but as a son, he often couldn't figure out his father's thoughts. He was used to being cautious in everything. Since his father had never revealed any anti-Sui thoughts, he never mentioned this matter in order not to make his father angry.
Li Shimin also knew that his father often had a kind smile on his face, but no one knew what kind of thoughts he was behind his smile. He was different from Li Jiancheng, bold and meticulous, and dared to take risks. He felt that since his father mentioned the anti-Sui Dynasty, it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He took the opportunity to persuade his father to raise an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, but it was not without a chance of success.
I also thought: Pei Ji is a cunning man. He always delays the situation again and again when he asks him to come and persuade his father. If his father already has the intention of rebelling against Sui at this moment, no matter who comes and persuades him, he will succeed. Then why should I give this credit to others?
Let’s take a step back, even though my father never had the intention to rebel against Sui, I was his own flesh and blood. He cared about the father and son, how could he bear to punish me? At that time, the Sima of Yingyang Mansion was too anxious and irritable, and it was not the time to advise him. In the end, my father was furious and took him to Jiangdu for his own treatment.
But now is different from the past. The time was not yet ripe, but now it is a great opportunity to rebel against Sui Dynasty. If you don’t make trouble at this time, then when will you wait?
Li Shimin just thought about it and felt his blood boiling, saying, "My father, now the court is in vain, the treacherous ministers are in power, the world is in chaos, and the people are displaced. At this time, we should raise the banner of righteousness, raise an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and save the people and the fire. As long as my father raises his arms and shouts, the crowd will respond and great things will be accomplished."
After saying that, he focused his attention on Li Yuan, looking at his reaction.
Li Jiancheng was shocked. Although he knew that his second brother had always been brave, he never expected that he would really say what he wanted. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little nervous, he wanted to say a few words of smooth things over, but he racked his brains but didn't know how to speak.
Originally, he did not agree with the recent uprising, but later he met the father and son of the Liu family and gradually realized something. What Li Shimin said at this moment was exactly what he was thinking.
Li Yuan leaned on the chair, stroked his hand and a faint smile on his face. After hearing Li Shimin's words, he suddenly laughed and said, "Shimin, are you intentionally trying to be a father? Our Li family has received the favor of the emperor, and is loyal to the emperor. Li Yuan is loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty and is willing to eliminate rebellion for the Great Sui Dynasty."
Li Shimin didn't give up, but said that his father was still deliberately covering up, and continued: "Father, at this moment, there are only three fathers and sons, and there are no outsiders. Now that the great Sui Dynasty has been exhausted, the heroes have risen together, why don't we take the opportunity to raise an army and do something grand and vigorous. "
Liu Shuyi smiled in his heart: It’s neither you father and son nor you have no outsiders. It should be the four father and son plus one outsider.
Li Yuan stood up with a "huo" sound, his face changed drastically, he pointed at Li Shimin, shouting: "Rebellious son, bold and crazy man, dare to say these ruthless words. Today, I, Li Yuan, will destroy my relatives for justice and let the world know my loyalty. Jiancheng, tied up this rebellious son to me and took him to Jiangdu on a date."
Seeing the serious situation, Li Jiancheng knelt down and begged: "My father is here, and my second brother was impulsive and said these irrelevant words. Let's enlighten us well, there is no need to escort Jiangdu."
Li Yuan snorted, turned his back to the two of them, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that things were turning around, Li Jiancheng hurriedly gave Li Shimin a wink. However, Li Shimin was still unwilling to give up and shouted loudly: "Father, if you hesitate at this time, you will let others take the lead in the future. It will be too late, and it will be too late to regret it."
Li Yuan was furious and kicked the desk in front of him over.
The desk accidentally rolled towards the screen hidden by Liu Shuyi. Liu Shuyi saw the screen falling down and smashed it toward his head. In a critical moment, he did not rush to think about it. While protecting his head with both hands, he couldn't help but shout: Oh, why did the screen fall down!
As soon as this statement came out, the four fathers and sons of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji were all shocked.
Li Yuan didn't expect that there were other people in the hall and shouted loudly: "Who?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not hear Liu Shuyi's voice for a while. They also said that the assassins who came to assassinate rushed to Li Yuan and were ready for battle.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Liu Shuyi could not save it, so he had to put the tilted screen on the ground, walked to the three of them, bowed and bowed, and said, "Boy Liu Shuyi, pay homage to Mr. Tang and the two young masters."
When the Li brothers saw that it was Liu Shuyi, they breathed a sigh of relief. The tense nerves relaxed and said in unison: "Brother Shuyi, why are you?"
Li Yuan had never seen Liu Shuyi before. He stared at him with his eyes, looked up and down carefully, and said, "You are Liu Shuyi, the second son of Liu Wenjing?" He was furious and frightened, and did not care about all kinds of etiquette. In front of Liu Shuyi, he called Liu Wenjing his name directly.
Liu Shuyi had never seen Li Yuan before, so he couldn't help but look up. He was about fifty years old, with gray hair and a big belly. He was quite majestic in his anger, which made people feel awe-inspiring.
In a daze, he replied, "It's Liu Shuyi."
Li Yuan sat down slowly and said, "Jiancheng and Shimin have praised you in front of me, saying that although you are young, you are quite smart. It is quite capable that you can come to this hall today. I don't make things difficult for Mr. Liu, but you must tell me how you came in?"
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both asked this question. Li Yuanji, who was alone in the dark, was shocked: Could it be that this person came in with me? No, if my father knew the truth, I would be in great luck.
Liu Shuyi hated Li Yuanji very much, thinking that this time I was exposed and someone discovered, you would not be much better. I will give you a gift later. See how you deal with you. I won’t learn well at a young age and are arrogant and domineering. You have to remember some lessons.
He said: "It is up to the good people to come into the hall to help you. Shu Yi is very grateful."
Li Yuanji was so scared that his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he felt a little more hatred for Liu Shuyi.
Liu Shuyi continued, "I have a few heartfelt words, and I want to tell you to Mr. Tang today."
Without waiting for Li Yuan's agreement, he said directly: "Duke Tang is devoted to Sui Dynasty, loyal and loyal, and the world can be seen. However, Your Majesty is far away in Jiangdu, but he may not think so. Once the thieves near Taiyuan are slightly relieved, can Your Majesty still tolerate Duke Tang?
When Emperor Gaozu was in power, the prophecy that "Li should be the emperor" was circulated all over the world. In recent years, someone sang the song "The flowers of the sun fall, the flowers of the plum blossom bloom" on the streets of Chang'an and Luoyang. Although the song "The flowers of the sun fall, the flowers of the plum blossom bloom" was deliberately spreading rumors and bewitching people's hearts, His Majesty seemed to believe it.
In recent years, many people have been convicted by prominent clans of Li. Gong Tang is loyal and determined to be a minister, but Your Majesty is still suspicious. If not, how could he send Gong Tang to dangerous places?
This time, Taiyuan accused was in a hurry. Duke Tang was ordered when he was in danger, but His Majesty was still worried and deliberately left behind the king and the two high-ranking people, always monitoring and restraining them everywhere. Once things change, Duke Tang could exercise extraordinary powers, and then Duke Tang would be in danger!
With the talent of Mr. Tang, we should make plans early and start first, and great things can be expected."
When the Li brothers saw Liu Shuyi expressing their feelings, they were all surprised and happy. They were ready to go, and they were all in tune with each other at this moment, and they all wanted to do something big, just waiting for their father to nod.
Li Yuan smiled slightly, but his heart was not very fluctuating. How could he not understand what Liu Shuyi said? He was suspicious of the Emperor of Great Achievement and almost lost his life. From then on, he became addicted to alcohol and pretended to have no ambitions and lived a life of silence.
He has endured it until now, thinking that one day he can soar into the sky and achieve something. But he has always been cautious, and he is walking on thin ice every day, worried, and his temperament has become more and more stable and unsure. He will never give anyone a handle and let himself stand under a dangerous wall.
But he forgot that if he wants to accomplish something big, how can he not take risks?
Li Yuan thought to himself: This boy is quite different from his father. He knows how to say good things and compliment others. But how could I act blindly and act blindly just because of his few good words. Now is not the time to do big things.
He glanced at Liu Shuyi sideways and thought: This son's talk big may not have real talent and knowledge. What he said is very likely to be taught by his father Liu Wenjing. He didn't know the difficulties and dangers at such a young age. If he is not careful, he will die without a place to bury him. He has never been to the battlefield, and he probably will be scared to death by a few corpses. I don't know where he got the courage to speak shamelessly in front of me.
The incident of Liu Shuyi's killing of Wang Er has long been rumored to Taiyuan, and Li Yuan also heard of it. He only said that it was the Li brothers who secretly helped them, and he scolded them in his eyes. However, Wang Er was dead and could not be saved, so he did not hold Liu Shuyi responsible. However, in his heart, Liu Shuyi was always a young boy.
Li Yuan said: "I think you are young and have no scruples. You don't care about it. As long as you tell me how you entered the hall, you can leave." At this moment, he was completely unwilling to lose this strategist because of Liu Wenjing's face, so he decided not to pursue the matter.
However, Liu Shuyi thought that his words touched Li Yuan, otherwise why did he speak harshly to Li Shimin but kind to him?
When he thought that as long as he persuaded Li Yuan, he could use the power of the Li family to deal with Wang Renba, he thought of Wang Renba's many evil deeds and thought of Wang Renba's injury to his elder brother, his anger was suddenly filled with his chest and his blood was pouring on.
He said loudly: "When this crisis occurs, Duke Tang should raise the banner of righteousness, recruit righteous troops, make the people of the world, and raise an army to resist tyranny! Although the boy is not talented, he is willing to wear armor, lead the way, charge and make his first contribution to the Tang Gong!"
When he spoke, his expression was ashamed, and his clear and bright eyes revealed stubbornness and rebelliousness.
Li Yuan was shocked, stood up, stared at his eyes, and there seemed to be another person's figure in his eyes, staggering and falling straight forward. The Li brothers were right beside him, with quick eyes and quick hands, and holding them at the same time so that they would not fall.
Li Yuan whispered, "I'm fine." The Li brothers let go and Li Yuan sat down slowly.
He said, "Mr. Liu mentioned you many times, saying that you have been weak and sick since childhood, and have become obsessed with books. Now you are in good health, right?" His tone was gentle, and his words were full of care.
Liu Shuyi was very surprised and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your concern, everything is fine."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "You are in poor health and are extremely dangerous in the marching and war. Don't participate. Stay honestly in the mansion and read and write, that's it."
Liu Shuyi only said that Li Yuan looked down on him and said with his head raised: "I am weak and sick, and I can practice martial arts. I don't want to stay in the mansion all the time. I want to gallop on the battlefield for Gong Tang."
Li Yuan stared at Liu Shuyi in a daze, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
After a long time, he said, "You go!" He didn't even ask how Liu Shuyi entered the hall.
Liu Shuyi still remembered Li Yuanji. He was eavesdropping in the dark at this moment, thinking that Li Yuanji had to suffer some trouble. He shouted at the screen hidden by Li Yuanji: "Thank you for your kindness in guiding the way for the fourth son. Shuyi will never forget it."
After saying that, he bowed to Li Yuan, opened the door, and retreated. The servant who was guarding outside was shocked when he saw Liu Shuyi coming out.
Liu Shuyi always held a grudge and smiled at him, "Hey, since I came out of the hall, I am not an idle person waiting. Don't stop me again in the future." After that, he left.
Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were all shocked when they heard that Li Yuanji was also in the hall. Li Yuan was furious and shouted, "Get out!"
Li Yuanji had already cursed Liu Shuyi's ancestors for the eighteen generations, walked out in fear, lowered his head and said, "Father!"
Li Yuan was angry and angry, and scolded: "You...you...you are so angry that you can't let me worry. How did you come in?"
Li Yuanji has always been afraid of his father and dared not hide it. He took out the key from his arms, fell to the ground, and said, "I know my fault, please punish me."
When Li Yuan looked at the key, he knew what was going on. He thought of his dead son, and was heartbroken and tears filled his eyes.
Li Jianchengsu had a good relationship with his fourth brother Li Yuanji and said, "Father, the fourth brother is so playful, so he should be punished. But the fourth brother is not young, so it is time for him to participate in the discussion and experience more."
Li Yuan snorted, saying, "You can only know how to play. Xuanba is at his age, not only sensible and obedient, but also can help me solve my worries. Look at what you are like?"
