Chapter 053 Departure (1)
Chapter 053: Set off - Being a father and being a beauty, a magnificent young man traveling (1)
Li Yuan's pain was relieved in three days. On the fourth day, he summoned all the advisers and his confidants came to discuss matters, but did not mention whether Liu Shuyi would participate.
Before Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin discussed the matter, they also went to Liu's mansion and invited Liu Shuyi to attend the matter. Liu Shuyi was flattered and felt that this was a good opportunity to be close to the Li family, so they followed the Li brothers to Tang Duke's mansion.
In the hall, Li Yuan broke down and did not mention the rebellion against the Sui Dynasty. It seemed that Li Shimin and Liu Shuyi's persuasion had never happened a few days ago. Liu Shuyi, Li Da, and Li Er dared not mention it again when they saw this. However, Li Yuanji was still not qualified to participate in the discussion.
The content of the discussion focused on how to eliminate Zhen Zhai'er's thieves. After everyone discussed it, they felt that Zhen Zhai'er's troops would not be destroyed in one day, which was a huge hidden danger, but how to eliminate them would be unscrupulous.
Li Shimin proposed to overthrow the troops of Taiyuan, and the army was approaching the border. He fought to the death with Zhen Zhe, and would definitely wipe out Zhen Zheer's troops in one fell swoop.
But everyone at the meeting was not an ordinary person, and immediately thought that there was a great danger: Although Duke Tang was left behind in Taiyuan and was in charge of the military and political power of Taiyuan on the surface, Wang and Gao had been in Taiyuan for many years. If they were to be disobedient and deliberately delayed the fighter's opportunity, what would it be? The soldiers in Taiyuan fought against the thieves, but in the end they were defeated and returned, then Duke Tang would never have the hope of turning around.
Liu Shuyi thought to further deepen: Wang Wei and Gao Junya had conspired with Zhen Zhai'er, killed General Pan Changwen, and had a criminal record. At this moment, the three of them must have contacted each other again. If the three of them decided to make a traitor and even joined forces, how could this battle be invincible?
For Liu Shuyi, Li Yuan must not be defeated. Once the Li family loses power, the Wang and Gao families will completely control Taiyuan. Then, with Wang Renba’s hatred for him, how can the Liu family’s father and son have the fate? Even if they can escape from Taiyuan by chance and live a life of panic all day, like a rat crossing the street, living a life of silence, what is the meaning of life? Wouldn’t he was wasting his time travel time?
Thinking of this, he immediately proposed to persuade Zhang Kai to surrender, and to cooperate with the inside and outside.
Li Shimin had contacted Zhang Kai and believed that this plan could be tried, but it was unsure whether it could be successful, and he even had no hope. Others, including Liu Shu's father Liu Wenjing, were all doubtful.
This plan caused heated discussion in the hall, but no one had heard of Zhang Kai, and he was even more suspicious of the ability of the young Liu Shuyi. In the end, everyone was not optimistic.
Li Yuan made the final summary, neither saying that he should use it nor saying that he should not use it, but only saying that he would put it aside and then discuss it.
In addition to feeling that this plan was quite difficult to implement, he was actually worried that this trip would be dangerous and unwilling to let Liu Shuyi take risks with him. Although he clearly understood that Liu Shuyi could never be his third son Xuanba, he would always subconsciously care about him whenever he saw him.
After the discussion was finished, Li Yuan asked Li Da, Li Er and Li Sixing to stay. He said, "If it is very uneasy today, Xiuning is in Chang'an and has suddenly no letters come over recently. He is quite worried about his father, so he wants to invite someone to go to Chang'an to see it. If my son is safe, then I will feel relieved."
Li Sixing was in his thirties. In order to avoid his enemies, he came to Taiyuan. When he heard about Li Yuan's name, Mao recommended himself and entered the Tang Duke's Mansion. Li Yuan tried many times and finally decided that this person was loyal and reliable. He was smart and capable, and did not fear difficulties, so he was gradually valued by Li Yuan.
His head has always been lively. When Li Yuan said this, he thought to himself: Mr. Tang left me alone as an outsider, and thought he wanted me to go this trip. If he was really worried about his daughter and son-in-law's safety, he could just send someone to visit him. Now that he wanted to let me go, he thought that there must be other plans. After I arrived in Chang'an, I must find out everything in Chang'an.
He bowed his hand and said, "Duke Tang, I want to go."
Li Yuan was not deliberately pretending to behave and said, "Thank you so much for Mr. Li. I will prepare for a few days when I go back and choose a date to set off."
Li Sixing said, "The matter is urgent, so there should be no delay. I will leave tomorrow morning and ask Mr. Tang and the two young masters to wait for the good news."
Li Yuan was overjoyed and exchanged greetings with Li Sixing. The Liu father and son all sent Li Sixing out.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were all in his heart: A girl (big sister) just sent a letter a few days ago, everything was fine. My father said this, which was a secret. Mr. Li was extremely smart and could guess his father's intentions, but everyone knew it. It seemed that my father was really moved!
The Liu family father and son proposed a prison countermeasure in Taiyuan County Prison. The two were deeply impressed and wanted to tell Li Yuan, but they did not mention the anti-Sui Dynasty from beginning to end. They only emphasized that Guanzhong must be as prosperous as Chang'an, and compared with the eastern capital Luoyang, Chang'an is far less solid than Luoyang and easier to capture.
What a person Li Yuan is, he naturally heard the implication of his two sons. He really had other intentions when he sent someone to Chang'an this time.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin knew very well that although his father had not clearly proposed to oppose the Sui Dynasty, this was an excellent signal. At the same time, they knew in their hearts that all the changes should be attributed to the young man Liu Shuyi.
But the two of them favored their father and preferred to believe the words of an outsider than to adopt their son's opinions. They both complained.
...
Liu Shuyi has been living a very comfortable life these days.
After Wang Er died, although the great revenge was not fully repaid, he worked hard for many days and finally had a result. Now he can live with his father and participate in military and national affairs, and is highly valued by Li Yuan and his son. He will rise up in the future and be just around the corner. Everything is developing according to his previous ideas.
During the day, he went in and out of the Tang Duke's Mansion and Li Shimin's Mansion. The servants were extremely respectful to him and treated him as a guest.
At Li Shimin's mansion, Changsun Wuyou spoke of "Shu Yi brother" and the two talked about speculation and their relationship became increasingly close.
At the Duke Tang's mansion, Li Yuan often summoned him alone, but every time he met, Li Yuan always talked very little. The two sat for an hour, but they didn't say a few words. However, every time Liu Shuyi stood up to say goodbye, Li Yuan would always reward various gold, silver and jewelry. Although Liu Shuyi was puzzled, he was never polite every time and accepted it.
In the evening, he went to meet with Sun Qier and others, drank wine, ate meat, chatted, and imagined the future. Sometimes he had a rise in drinking and chatting, and made fun of it all night.
On the New Year's Day, the sound of firecrackers in Taiyuan City was loud and the gongs and drums were loud. The people sang and danced to celebrate the festival. The Liu Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful colors, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Liu Shuyi traveled through the era before, and the New Year atmosphere became increasingly weak. Now he suddenly encountered such a strong festive atmosphere and was inspired by his spirit. For the first time, he felt that traveling to the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not a bad thing.
He was in a happy mood and had a slutty attack, and couldn't help but want to joke with Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan was standing next to him, looking at the children in the yard, dazed and dazed. He walked to her and whispered in her ear: "Sister Xiaohuan!"
He thought Xiaohuan would definitely be like the same as usual, and he called himself a young master with a shy expression. Unexpectedly, Xiaohuan turned his head, his eyes were red, and tears filled his eyes, feeling pitiful.
Liu Shuyi was shocked. When she saw Xiao Huan in the past, she always looked innocent and smiling, thinking to herself what was wrong today? Who bullied her?
Xiaohuan squeezed his smile and said, "Young Master, what are you asking?"
Seeing that there was endless sadness hidden under his smile, Liu Shuyi felt pity and blood surged up. He thought to himself: I want to make him smile no matter what, that is to be truly happy from the bottom of my heart.
He asked, "What's wrong? Who bullies you?"
Xiaohuan shook his head and said, "Everyone treats me very well." While saying that, he stared at the front.
Liu Shuyi followed her gaze and saw Hu'er playing with Cai'er in the yard. Hu'er was Lao Wang's grandson. He brought a piece of pastry from the kitchen. When Zhu'er saw Cai'er, he leaned over to ask for it. Hu'er's pastry was divided into two and handed it to Cai'er, but Zhu'er, but he was empty-handed.
Xiao Huan said quietly: "Hu'er is so good as a brother!" At this point, his teeth bit his upper lip and his eyes were red.
Liu Shuyi finally understood: It turned out that Xiao Huan missed his elder brother.
He said, "Xiao Huan, I have been staying in the mansion these few days and I am almost bored. Let's go out for a walk in a few days, okay?"
Xiao Huan calmed down and said that Liu Shuyi wanted to go to the city to stroll, saying, "I heard from Brother Beggar that Wang Er's eldest brother Wang Ada went crazy in the city to avenge his younger brother and searched everywhere. If the young master had to go out, he had to disguise himself as usual."
Liu Shuyi was very happy to hear Xiao Huan's words, and said, "Let's go away this time so that Wang Ada can't find it."
Xiao Huan was really worried about Liu Shuyi's safety, but he didn't want to defeat him. He held his chin in his hand and pondered: "If you want to go out for a walk in the countryside, that's not bad. We have to call Brother Beggars and others to prevent accidents. There are many refugees outside the city now, and it's very messy. Master, why don't we go again in the future?"
As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Liu Shuyi with a look of asking for resentment.
Liu Shuyi saw a clear and bright eye, looking at him with deep affection, like autumn water, like varnish, beautiful and charming, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing that Liu Shuyi was staring at him in a daze, Xiao Huan felt shy and lowered his head and said, "Young Master, let's not go to the suburbs for now, okay?" His voice was gentle and gentle, and it was extremely beautiful.
Liu Shuyi came back to his senses and said without hesitation: "Okay, everything is listened to Xiaohuan."
Xiao Huan was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Shuyi was not going to take risks, but he also remembered his elder brother. The two places were separated and could not meet each other. He couldn't help but feel sad again. He was so happy and sad that he sighed long.
Seeing her like this, Liu Shuyi stopped teasing her and said, "We are going on a long journey this time. The journey is long and there are many dangers. Would you like to accompany me?"
Xiaohuan immediately said, "I do." But he calmed down and was thinking about how to persuade Liu Shuyi again. She would rather Liu Shuyi stay in the mansion for the rest of her life, without any danger, and she could meet each other every day and serve him every day.
While thinking, a sound suddenly sounded in my ears. The sound was not very loud, but when she heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue, shocking people's hearts, and like a lightning bolt, crossing the sky, illuminating the dimness in front of her.
Liu Shuyi smiled and said, "In a few days, we will go to Xicheng County, Xihe County, and I will do important things. You go to visit your elder brother, we all need it."
Xiaohuan could no longer control himself, and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.
He and his elder brother depended on each other since childhood. Later, the elder brother left. She was alone, wandering around and suffering from hunger and cold. During this period, she only thought about one thing day and night. She returned to the elder brother and sister never separated again.
This difficult life was only relieved when he met Sun Qier and others. When he got along with all the brothers and sisters in distress, she not only took on the role of her sister, but also shouldered the responsibilities of her sister. Although life was still difficult, she was happy in her heart. During this period, he still remembered his brother, but it was no longer as frequent as before.
Later, when the elder brother came to Taiyuan, she was both happy and uncomfortable. If it were the past, she would have followed the elder brother without hesitation. But at this moment, she was worried in her heart. She was thinking about who would cook water and rice for the beggar brother after she left, who would be the heavy responsibility for the responsibilities, and who would plead for the long way to take care of the tears and Zhuer.
There was even one person that made her unable to let go. It was said that she had not been together for a long time with Liu Shuyi, but she kept it in her heart after several rescues. Especially when Wang Er broke free from the rope and captured herself, when Liu Shuyi was willing to be beaten by Wang Er for her sake, gritted her teeth and said nothing, her heart completely opened to Liu Shuyi.
In this situation, how could she still follow her elder brother to leave calmly? But the elder brother is her elder brother after all, and she loves and loves her biological elder brother. Although she finally decided to stay in Taiyuan, she felt guilty about her elder brother, especially during the New Year's Day. Seeing that everyone in the courtyard was reunited and happy, she felt even more ashamed when she thought of abandoning her elder brother.
Now that Liu Shuyi actually said he wanted to take her to see his elder brother, how could he not cry out in joy?
She was just a humble little beggar, while Liu Shuyi was born into a family of officials. Although she was in a downturn, she could see that the Li family valued Liu Shuyi very much and her future was limitless. She would not be worthy of him after all. As long as she could be the little girl around him, serve tea and water every day, and serve her wholeheartedly, she would be satisfied.
Liu Shuyi didn't know that in this short period of time, she had so many thoughts in her mind. Seeing her crying in pain, she was both loving and unable to bear it, and said, "Okay, this is a good thing, why are you crying? Look, everyone is looking at you?"
Xiaohuan was stunned and looked up. He saw that everyone was looking at him, but there was no sign of making fun of him, and he was full of worry and care.
Hu'er brought a scarf from somewhere, and raised it high, and said in a slight voice: "Sister Xiaohuan, don't cry, is Hu'er making you angry? Hu'er will be obedient in the future and will never make trouble again."
Tears, Zhu'er each held Xiaohuan's hand, shook it while saying, "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?"
Since entering Liu's mansion, Xiao Huan has been diligent, serious in his work, and willing to help others. The whole mansion has loved her very much from Liu Wenjing. At this moment, he saw that he cried for no reason and surrounded him, and was quite worried.
Some people saw Liu Shuyi beside Xiao Huan, and they thought he bullied Xiao Huan. Liu Wenjing and Lao Wang glared at Liu Shuyi.
Liu Shuyi shouted for injustice, but he had no choice.
Seeing everyone caring for her, Xiao Huan finally burst into tears and laughed. She touched Hu'er's head left and right, squeezed Chu'er's face with her right hand, and said, "Sister is fine, sister, can you play with you, okay?"
The three children said in unison: "Okay!"
In a moment, the Liu family returned to the previous jokes, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.
Liu Shuyi looked at Xiao Huan's beautiful figure, but thought to himself: Li Yuan and his son did not agree to my persuasion, and they would probably not let it go, but I just secretly left the city. My father may not be willing to let me go to Xihe. It is not easy to hide it from my father. It is necessary to find an excuse to convince me.
Note: There is indeed a person in Princess Zhao of Pingyang, but her name and date of birth are not recorded in the "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang" which record her deeds. Here, for reference to other novels, she is called Li Xiuning.
Note: Xicheng is Xicheng, which is the capital of Xihe County and one of the six counties. Xi is an uncommon character, which is not conducive to reading, so Xi is replaced by Xi.
