Chapter 054: Set off - Being a father and being a beauty, a magnificent young man traveling (2)

In fact, Liu Shuyi decided to go to Xihe not all for Xiaohuan.

Last time he and Li Shimin persuaded Li Yuan to raise an army to rebel against Sui. Although he failed, Li Yuan did not pursue the matter afterwards, and was obviously moved. However, Li Yuan did not make up his mind about the anti-Sui incident that day.

In this way, Liu Shuyi believed that this contribution of advice would definitely fall on Pei Ji in the future. The greater the contribution Pei Ji made, the more powerful he had in front of Li Yuan, and the more dangerous the Liu family would be. At present, Pei Ji was in charge of the deputy palace supervisor of Jinyang and had a close relationship with Tang Duke Li Yuan. It was impossible to get rid of him at this time.

For the sake of the present, only by making great contributions to the Li family would it be better to overwhelm Pei Ji, so that his father would have more status and weight in front of Li Yuan in the future, and would not be easily harmed by Pei Ji's slander in the future.

But Wang Eryi died, and the Wang and Gao families suspected that the Li families had taken action secretly and were on close watch. At this time, they wanted to deal with Wang and Gao families. Moreover, Li Yuan had not made up his mind to rebel against Sui, and there was Zhen Zhai'er, so he had no time or opportunity to eliminate Wang Wei and Gao Junya.

If you want to make contributions and make great contributions at the moment, you naturally have to focus on outside Taiyuan City. Then helping Li Yuan defeat Zhen Zhai'er is the only choice.

When Xiaohuan's eldest brother Zhang Kai was exposed, Liu Shuyi thought of persuading Zhang Kai to surrender, and he adapted to the outside world.

Later, I told my father, Li Yuan and others about this idea, but I didn't get permission, so I gradually put it on hold.

On the day of the New Year, Liu Shuyi saw that Xiao Huan was sad because she missed her elder brother, and the care of protecting her heart broke out. He immediately decided to take Xiao Huan to see her elder brother Zhang Kai. After calming down, he remembered the matter of dealing with Zhen Zhai'er, thinking that he killed two birds with one stone.

But this matter was extremely dangerous and there was no certainty of winning. It was quite a brain to get my father's permission. After the Chinese New Year, Liu Shuyi often talked to Liu Wenjing. At first, he only talked about family matters, but later he always deliberately took a detour to Zhen Zhai'er's topic.

Liu Wenjing also knew Liu Shuyi's little thoughts. Others did not believe in his son's ability, but he believed it himself. When Liu Shuyi proposed a plan, he wanted to agree loudly, but after all, he loved his son deeply and had high hopes for his son, so he couldn't bear to let his son take risks.

He often said that Shuyi was smart and smart, and had many tricks, but he lacked experience and was not able to respond to things. He should practice hard to stand alone. However, when things are about to come, he really wanted his son to take great risks and go out to experience things, but he refused.

Liu Shuyi encountered a few times in succession and returned in vain. He realized that his father would never let him go out of the city, but he had made up his mind. Since his father refused, he decided to go out secretly.

First, he contacted Sun Qier and others, invited them to walk with him, and asked Xiao Liu to secretly hire a ox cart to prepare daily necessities. After a few days of rushing, he finally prepared and waited for the early morning of tomorrow, when the city gate just opened, he quickly drove out of Taiyuan City.

That night, Liu Wenjing called Liu Shuyi to the study room, but did not speak, just sat on the chair, lowered her head to ponder. Liu Shuyi was puzzled and said, "My father came over to see the child, don't know what's important?"

Liu Wenjing looked up at him and said meaningfully: "My Shuyi has really grown up, but you have many difficulties to go to Xihe. It is best if you can succeed. If the world is not beautiful, don't force it too much. Come back as soon as possible. Let's think of him again."

Liu Shuyi's surprise was extraordinary. He thought that his father had learned about my movements, and he felt relieved for a moment: My father is Liu Wenjing, the first military advisor of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to being irritable, he is very capable in all aspects. How can I hide these tricks from me?

He said: "Father, since we have decided to assist the Li family, we have to plan the entire plan for the Li family. The countermeasures in the prison that launched a war in Taiyuan and went west to Chang'an seem to be far away now. If the countermeasures become a reality, we must first eradicate Wang Wei and Gao Junya and control Taiyuan. However, the external troubles Zhen Zhai'er have not been eliminated, and the civil strife in the king is not eliminated. How can the Gao Er family eradicate?

Our Liu family is now hiding under the Li family, and is related to the Li family's resurgence. They prosper and lose together. Only by defeating Zhen Zhai'er's thief and maintaining peace in Taiyuan can we have the opportunity to attack Wang Wei and Gao Junya. Only in this way can the countermeasures in prison be prevented from becoming a mirror and a moon that can be seen without being able to reach."

Liu Wenjing also knew these truths. After hearing Liu Shuyi's words that hit the nail on the head, she was both happy and proud, and she was even more reluctant to let go and said, "Maybe it's God's will. Shuyi, let it go. Whether it is successful or not, go and return early. If you have literature to help you, I feel much more at ease."

Liu Shuyi didn't understand what his father meant, and he didn't know who this "Wenqi" was. He was about to ask, but he heard Liu Wenjing say, "It's a coincidence. A month ago, I sent a message to your second uncle, hoping that he would come to Taiyuan and participate in the grand event."

Liu Shuyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Uncle Second? Why have you never heard from his father before?"

Liu Wenjing raised her head and sighed, "Our Liu family's ancestral home is Jingzhao Wugong. I don't want to be despised. I leave my hometown and want to make a grand career and return home in glory. Your second uncle insisted on staying in Chang'an, and from then on, the brothers were separated. Later, the world was in chaos and it was difficult to meet again, so I didn't tell you about this.

But I had a lot of talent and knowledge for my father, but I had nowhere to use it. I ran into a wall everywhere and finally got the position of Jinyang Order. I originally wanted to take your second uncle and his family over, but I happened to encounter Yang Xuangan and your brother-in-law involved in it. In order not to implicate your second uncle, I gave up the idea.

Until he came out of Taiyuan County Prison, his father's ambition, which had almost been extinguished, was rekindled, so he wrote a letter to your second uncle to come to Taiyuan to plan a major event. Who knew that the letter was sent, and there was no news for a long time.

Just a few days ago, your second uncle's reply finally arrived."

Liu Shuyi had an extra second uncle for no reason. He didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, and said, "What did the second uncle say in the letter?"

Liu Wenjing picked up a letter from the table, handed it to him, and said, "You can take a look at it yourself."

Liu Shuyi took the envelope and took out the letter paper. He saw that it was written in densely filled with small regular script, with crooked handwriting and quite sloppy. He had been living in the late Sui Dynasty for some time, and it was difficult for him to read a letter from his family. After reading it in one breath, he finally understood the meaning of what his father said before, "God is so will."

It turned out that Liu Wenqi was willing to come to Taiyuan to help his elder brother, but he heard that thieves were rampant near Taiyuan, especially near Queshi Valley, Yong'an County, Xihe County, there was a thief king named Zhen Zhai'er who led tens of thousands of people, cruel and easy to kill. Once he fell into his hands, he would be unable to escape.

When Liu Wenqi wanted to go to Taiyuan, he had to go east to Chang'an, cross the Yellow River, come to Hedong County, and then go straight north to reach Taiyuan. On the way, he had to pass through Yong'an County, Xihe County, which was the active place where Zhen Zhaier's troops were.

For safety reasons, he decided not to enter Yong'an County after coming to Xihe County, but to head radially westward, and head from Xicheng County to Taiyuan. He also said that he missed his elder brother and was eager to meet him. The group of seven or eight people would travel day and night, and would rest in Xicheng County, Xihe County, and hoped that his elder brother Liu Wenjing could send someone to greet him.

Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Taiyuan, and it takes a lot of time to communicate with letters. When Liu Wenqi decided to borrow Xihexicheng County, Liu Shuyi obviously had no plans to go to Xihe. The uncle and nephew were thousands of miles apart and were not connected to each other. They decided to go to Xihexicheng City one after another. No wonder Liu Shuyi lamented that "God will is so will."

Liu Shuyi handed the letter to Liu Wenjing, thinking that this would be fine. This would happen to go to Xihe, and he would win three goals in one go. He not only welcomed his uncle but also fulfilled Xiao Huan's wish. Once he persuaded Zhang Kai to surrender successfully, he would be more confident in defeating Zhen Zhai'er.

He said, "I think it's been a while since the second uncle sets off, but Chang'an and Xihe are thousands of miles away. Even if the second uncle is desperately rushing, it may be difficult to reach it in a short time. Taiyuan is closer to the Xihe River, so I will definitely arrive before the second uncle. But I have never seen the second uncle, so how should I recognize each other then?"

Liu Wenjing had not answered the letter, and now pushed it back and said, "Although the letter did not say it clearly, I know him for my father. After you arrive in Xihexi City, you will go straight to the largest inn in the county town to wait for him.

I have told him your appearance and you know your father's handwriting. Then you meet in the inn and use letters as a certificate, and you should not recognize the wrong person."

Liu Shuyi smiled and said, "Uncle Er has unique handwriting, so I will naturally not admit my mistake."

Liu Wenjing smiled and said, "I have loved reading since I was a child, but Wenqi is completely the opposite. He dances with guns and sticks, jumps up and down, and doesn't even look at books. However, he has been helpful since he was a child and is anxious about others. He is quite famous in the local area. This time he came to Taiyuan from Chang'an, six or seven people took the initiative to follow him."

Liu Shuyi thought to himself that I was still worried that there was not enough manpower, and if I encountered danger in Xihe, it would be difficult to escape safely. Now with the help of my second uncle and others, things would be much easier.

That night, the father and son talked until late at night. Liu Wenjing was abnormal and took the initiative to talk about things she had disdained in the past.

Let’s start with my second brother Liu Wenqi when he was young. When it comes to growing up and getting married, it is a bit sad.

Then he talked about his eldest son Liu Shuyi. He originally had high hopes for his eldest son, but he did not expect that his son had a congenital disease and his mind was lower than that of ordinary people. He still had difficulties in taking care of himself in the future, let alone glorify his ancestors and making excitement. This matter has been long, but when he said that night, it was like he was back in the past and couldn't help crying loudly.

Finally, he talked about his youngest son Liu Shuyi. At this moment, the tears on his face were not dry, but his eyes were filled with smiles. From Liu Shuyi's childhood, he remembered everything clearly and clearly.

Liu Shuyi listened quietly and gradually became intimate with his father. At first, he felt sad about the separation of his brothers, and then felt unwilling and desperate for his eldest son to be unable to excel. In the end, he lived up to his father's trust and couldn't help feeling proud of the Liu family's face in front of the Li family's father and son.

In the past, my father talked to him, either military and national affairs or strategies. When did he tell the past and express the father-son feelings like tonight? He knew that his father loved him and his elder brother quite well, but this fatherly love was hidden deep in his heart. He said it unreservedly tonight. Liu Shuyi was both surprised and happy.

On the morning of the next day, Liu Shuyi, Xiao Liu and Xiao Huan were ready to go. In front of the Liu Mansion, Liu Wenjing held Liu Shuyi's hand and couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing that his father's expression was solemn and parting was about to part, Liu Shuyi couldn't say many words of comfort that he had thought of last night, but he couldn't say at this moment.

In the cold winter, one morning, the father and son held each other's hands, and looked at each other without saying a word, but it was better than thousands of words. After a while, Liu Wenjing stretched out his right hand, patted Liu Shuyi's shoulder, and walked back to the Liu Mansion without looking back.

Turning around the corner of the room, he was sure that everyone could no longer see him. His tense nerves loosened, and he staggered, sat down on the ground, and did not get up, leaving tears in a daze.

Liu Shuyi was also sad, and he held back his tears and said goodbye to the person who saw him off. At this moment, Sun Qier, Zhao Aniu, and Qin Bole were waiting in the suburbs of the city, and daily necessities had been put on the ox cart in advance. Liu Shuyi and the other two were lightly equipped and walked quickly, leaving Taiyuan City safely.
