Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

An imperial decree was issued from Chang'an City and sent to the front line overnight.

Not long after, Prince Li Jiancheng and his staff were recalled to Chang'an City.Qin Wang Li Shimin went to Liaodong City to continue his conquest of Goguryeo.

A few days later, when the prince returned to the palace, the emperor exiled Wang Gui and Wei Ting, capable men from the Eastern Palace camp, to Xizhou on the grounds that the prince and his courtiers secretly created heresy. The minister was in a panic, and couldn't tell the direction for a while.

Li Yuan's move cannot be separated from the advice of one person, who is this person?

It was when Liu Wuzhou approached Chang'an, he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight and was defeated, and was rescued by Luo Cheng's army, the prime minister Pei Ji.

Pei Ji is not good at marching and fighting, but it does not prevent him from admiring talents.After he was rescued, he followed Luo Cheng and Li Yuanji all the way from Jinzhou to Chang'an City with overwhelming momentum.Those storytellers in the teahouse in the past talked about the Luo family and Luo Cheng, how amazing it was, one against a hundred, Pei Ji couldn't understand, but this time he really was there!It is not an exaggeration to say that he swallowed mountains and rivers with anger.

In the eyes of civil servants like Pei Ji, Luo Jialuo Cheng is synonymous with God of War!And this hero is a true hero who is aboveboard!When he was defeated and ridiculed by everyone, Luo Cheng still respectfully called him Mr. Pei, he was treated the same with respect and without distinction, which moved the old man Pei Ji who was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world.

Therefore, Li Yuan habitually asked his old friend Pei Ji for his opinion on the matter of accountability for Luo Cheng's serious injury, and Pei Ji immediately spoke freely.It's okay to hurt the god of war in this stubborn little old man's heart. He has known Li Yuan for many years, and he thinks he understands Li Yuan's temperament. The prince Li Jiancheng cannot move. Although the prince cannot move, others may not.The staff of the Eastern Palace have sinister intentions, most of them are criminals, and if they commit lower crimes, the crime will be aggravated. They will never be tolerated, and they will kill chickens to make an example...all of them have been used.

Only then did Li Yuan rise up against the crime, and issued several imperial decrees to convict him one after another. The old man Pei Ji can be said to have contributed a lot.

So, did Li Yuan really give up on Li Jiancheng?

not necessarily.

Li Yuan still likes this son in his heart, Li Jiancheng is not only the eldest son, but also his favorite son.

Compared with Li Shimin, Li Yuan prefers Li Jiancheng.Even if Shimin made great military exploits, even if he hinted to Shimin that it is very likely that he will be replaced as a prince... Jian Jiancheng has always been by his side. Only by assisting myself wholeheartedly and formulating a series of effective measures can the city of Chang'an be settled so quickly and the hearts of the people can be stabilized.

Now that Li Jiancheng's reputation has been damaged, Li Yuan knows better than anyone else that the eldest son is to blame for the massacre of the city.

Although Tucheng had nothing to do with him, Luo Cheng's serious injury had nothing to do with him.Luo Cheng is not only the founding hero of his Tang Dynasty, but also the savior of his Li family.He is a decent man, affectionate and righteous, and many officials in the court have also received his favor and admire him as a man.Due to emotion and reason, Jian Jiancheng shouldn't be his enemy, but he did it anyway, and all the court officials knew about it!

While Li Yuan resented Li Jiancheng for acting like this, he couldn't help defending him, this child is too thoughtful, since I promised you the position of crown prince, you are the crown prince, why can't you tolerate your brother Shimin?Acting so recklessly.

The youngest son of the Luo family was seriously injured, and countless soldiers were injured. Look at this unjust battle!Li Yuan naturally wanted to be held accountable, otherwise how would he give the Beiping Mansion an explanation, but the crown prince is a crown prince after all, and Li Yuan did not intend to change the crown prince, so Li Yuan made up his mind to lift the crown prince high and put it down gently, and What his old brother Pei Ji said won his heart deeply, so the staff in the Prince's Mansion were out of luck, it was not appropriate for the Prince to act like this, why did you people go?I think it's you people who are coming up with bad ideas every day, instigating the prince, and blinding the prince's eyes!

If I don't frustrate the spirit of you people, it's really lawless.But Li Yuan also understood in his heart that although the staff of the East Palace are mixed, there are many talented people. talent and both...

Forget it, let's go into exile first, and it's good to temper these people, there must be someone who bears the anger for the Luo family's serious injury to Luo Cheng, since he is reluctant to part with the crown prince, he can only use these people for surgery.After a hundred years, when he succeeds to the throne, he will be rewarded with grace and re-appointed.At that time, these people will naturally be grateful and help the new emperor wholeheartedly.

However, within a few days, Li Yuan's thoughts had already turned back and forth, making arrangements for the future, the past, and the future.

The emperor's conspiracy is unfathomable.

In this way, the staff of the Prince's Mansion should be killed, exiled, and demoted. In short, there will be a big change.That is to say, the culprit, Yang Wengan, was fed to the dog by Li Yuanji first, otherwise, he would have to be hacked into pieces by the same kind-hearted Li Yuan.

Li Jiancheng saw imperial edicts drifting into his East Palace one after another, and his former cronies were dragged out one by one, his face was ashen, his heart had been chilled for a long time, and he thought to himself, the position of the crown prince will eventually be changed.Guessing the day of Shimin's triumphant return, he, the crown prince, has made it to the top, and the grief in his heart is uncontrollable for a while.He didn't know what Li Yuan thought, he just felt that his father was really disappointed in him this time.

So, staying behind closed doors all day long, wasting time with alcoholism, and ignoring worldly affairs made Li Yuan very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The city of Chang'an finally stopped, and Li Shimin led Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Su Dingfang and others to divide into several groups and also rushed to the front line.If it weren't for Luo Cheng's serious injuries and it was not easy to move, Li Yuan would have had someone take him back to Chang'an City for recuperation. Now he can only wait for his injury to stabilize before calling him back to comfort him. After all, he is the old man. The Li family can't stand him.

I don't know if Goguryeo was stunned by the battle of Liaodong City. Anyway, there has been no action since then, and Li Shimin and the generals are waiting for it.

At this moment, Li Yuanji's camp was bustling like never before.

Before he entered the camp, he heard Cheng Yaojin's signature hearty laugh: "Brother Luo, it's rare to see you like this. If I compete with you now, maybe I can win against you?"

Shan Xiongxin grinned happily: "Brother Luo, don't listen to your fourth brother Cheng's nonsense, look at his talent, he can only take advantage of you when you are injured."

When he woke up and saw all the brothers gathered, Luo Cheng was in a good mood, now leaning on the cushion, looking at everyone with a smile, his heart was warm.

On the contrary, Qin Qiong frowned slightly, stroked Luo Cheng's tightly bound arms, and asked worriedly: "What does the doctor say? Are these arms really not in the way?"

As soon as Qin Qiong said this, everyone was silent, and Cheng Yaojin's face also showed a rare solemnity. He didn't dare to ask about Luo Cheng's injuries after entering the account. He was afraid that something bad would hurt Luo Cheng's heart, so he made jokes He wanted to make fun of everyone, and now he heard Qin Qiong say this, and he was also very worried. Brother Luo is such a talent, if his arm is really disabled, he will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, what should we do?Brother Luo is young, so he must not be able to accept it.

Compared with everyone's dignified expressions, Luo Cheng seemed much more open-minded, shook his head lightly and said: "The doctor said, if San Yue is taken care of properly, there will be no serious problems, just like ordinary people, but if the wind blows in the future Rain, it is hard to guarantee that you will suffer from some soreness. But Li Taiyi said, this is not certain. If you take care of it properly, you should not have these problems. Cousin, you also know that those imperial doctors will always treat the microscopic It's very serious."

Seeing his little cousin's indifferent appearance, Qin Qiong felt even more sad, why did he have to suffer so much!Although he is downplaying the past now, they can almost imagine how critical the situation was at that time. They were trapped in Liaodong City alone, from early morning to late at night, for five or six hours, alone and helpless. Any one of them would have been gone for a long time. That's it... that is, this person is Luo Cheng!

"Then Luo brother, you should rest on the bed. Why did I hear that some people were injured, and they were still restless. They called the generals to the front every now and then, asking about the battle situation and the layout?" Li Shimin was dressed in a purple robe. Flip the account and enter.

Everyone saluted one after another, and Luo Cheng did the same. Li Shimin stepped forward to support him in three steps, and his tone was not without reproach: "Look, what did I just say about you? What is the hypocrisy for?"

Luo Cheng didn't refuse, let Li Shimin support him on the bed, grinned and said: "His Royal Highness, the etiquette cannot be broken."

"My brother, it's not enough to pay attention to these vain etiquette." Li Shimin pretended to be angry and said with a flat face.

Luo Cheng smiled foolishly and stopped talking.

"You... Tell me what you want. Don't worry about the attack on Goguryeo. Just stay here and recuperate. When the injury is stable and you can walk, I will send you back to Chang'an City to take care of yourself. ——" Li Shimin's eyes fell on Luo Cheng's arms. He was outside the tent just now and had already asked the imperial doctor about related matters. If he doesn't take good care of him, the chance of sequelae is extremely high.

Just as Luo Cheng wanted to say something, Qin Qiong pressed his shoulders and said: "Cousin, listen to your second brother Li. When you recover from your injury, you and I will fight side by side."

"That's right. Brother Luo, our brothers are all here, why don't you worry about it? Isn't it just a small Goguryeo, do you think that all of us brothers can't compare with you alone?" Cheng Yaojin said, He also pretended to be angry and widened his eyes, his appearance was not intimidating at all, it was full of humor, which amused Luo Cheng, and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng is the most powerful among all the brothers."

"That's it." Cheng Yaojin was triumphant, not caring about others' eyes at all.

"Cousin, your injury doesn't matter, but it frightened uncle and aunt. Uncle and his elders heard that you were seriously injured, and his life and death were unknown, so they passed out in the court. Big cousin was very anxious. If uncle was not still sick in bed, There is no one in charge at home, so he is coming this time."

When Luo Cheng heard this, he anxiously asked: "Cousin, how is the father now?"

"Don't look at my uncle who is usually in good health, but this time I was really frightened by your incident. Before we left, we were still sick in bed, and my aunt was by my side. The poor aunt was also very sad."

Luo Cheng didn't care about fighting at the moment, thinking about it. Now that all the brothers are here, he doesn't have to worry too much. On the contrary, he is an old man. He is usually healthy and strong, so why is he so weak? , mother and concubine have always been soft-tempered. First, I heard that my injury was unknown, and then I saw that my father was in a coma. I don’t know what the chaos is now. Brother, count the days, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, and Nuo Da’s family depends on him alone struggling to support.

Luo Cheng originally made up his mind to stay in the barracks, but now his heart is shaken.

After a group of people finished visiting Luo Cheng and left the camp, Li Shimin was tiptoed aside by Li Yuanji.

"How? Did he agree to go back?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. You still have a way to persuade him to go back in a few words. Chang'an City is rich and there are no rare medicinal materials in the palace. It must be good for his injury."

"I'm curious, why didn't you take the opportunity to kill Yu Wencheng?"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji's originally bright smiling face immediately darkened, he glared at Li Shimin fiercely, and said in his heart that he knew that he was not right with this second brother, which pot would not be opened and which pot was to be lifted, and now he saw Yu Wen Chengdu went in and out of Luo Cheng's camp, the two of them talked and laughed at Yan Yan's appearance, their intestines were green with regret, okay?

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji, sighed, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Among all the brothers, you are actually the most merciful. Forget it, this opportunity is rare, so you missed it like this. Think about it in the future." I'm afraid I won't find such a good opportunity to kill him, if Luo Cheng is snatched away in the future, don't complain to me, just do it yourself!"

Li Yuanji never thought that one day he would be bound to the word "kind heart and soft hand", and shouted at Li Shimin's leaving back: "If it were you, what would you do?"

Li Shimin didn't look back, waved his hands, and left without hesitation: "Yu Wencheng was besieged and killed by Goguryeo soldiers. He was seriously injured and died."

Until Li Shimin's back could no longer be seen, Li Yuanji still stood there in a daze, his voice faintly discernible: "But he will be sad..."
