Tiantang Splendid

4397 - Three Inch Tongue
The wine bottle is a bit big, and Yuwen Shi and his body are not as good as before. After a bottle of wine, his stomach is rolling, and the smell of alcohol is rising, and his head is a little...

Suppressing the churning in his stomach, Yuwen Shiji put down his wine glass, took a piece of pastry, chewed and swallowed it in his mouth, and only then did he feel a little relief.

Li Huaiqin clapped his hands, pushed the two "Master Rabbits" out, sat up straight, stared at Yuwen Shiji with unruly eyes, and asked with a smile, "Duke Ying came here in the rain, why?"

Although he is well-maintained, he is already over fifty years old, and he is no longer interested in men and women. On the contrary, he has become more interested in these handsome and slender men in recent years. It happens that women are not allowed to accompany the army, so he often Bring a few "rabbit masters" with you, and play with them in your spare time, which is very interesting.

Yuwen Shiji breathed out a mouthful of alcohol, and met the other party's gaze: "Why does the county king ask why he knows it?"

Li Huaiqin was dissatisfied, and said angrily: "You people are the most troublesome. If you have something to say, you will always make people guess. If you guess wrong, you will be laughed at by you. Do you show that you are smart? Boring."

He poured a glass of wine with the wine jug, raised his head and drank it down, the wine dripped down his beard onto his chest, and he just wiped it casually, not paying attention.

The behavior is willful and rough, and there are no children from the clan who are pampered and well-mannered...

Yu Wenshi knows that this county king is really difficult to deal with, not because of how clever and clever the other party is, but because of his surly personality, moody, and unpredictable behavior style, which cannot be judged by common sense.

Now that I have something to ask for, I can only suppress my dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "When you talk to a smart person, you naturally have to use a smart way, and explain everything thoroughly. Sometimes good things can also be bad. The best state."

Li Huaiqin held the wine glass and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Perhaps, but for this king, I really don't want to waste my brain on these things. Let me be blunt, no matter what kind of argument you have prepared this time, please return it." Don't open your mouth, this king can't do what you want."

He is not stupid, now that Chang'an city is beating up in a miasma, blood is flowing like a river, and the entire Guanlongmen clan is tied together to support the king of Jin. The Yuwen scholars who are not in Chang'an city come here, what purpose is not obvious?

Yuwen Shiji twitched his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Li Huaiqin sneered, and nodded Yuwen Shiji with his finger, showing no respect at all: "Do you think this king is a fool? Then Dou Xi can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. He forced Yin Qinzhou to send troops to Chang'an, but it turned out that the Yin family in Liquan ran Decades of soldiers of the first guard were wiped out, and Dou Xi was put on the head by Fang Er at the Xuanwu Gate to make an example of others. This king never underestimates himself, but he doesn’t think he is the opponent of Fang Er. Indulging in wine, beauties, glory and wealth, why seek your own death? It has nothing to do with me to fight for the throne for you, and you will fight for yours. If you win in the future, I sincerely congratulate you, but I am very satisfied with the status quo. Go to your muddy water."

Do you really think that he is completely ignorant of Chang'an because he is sitting in Mei County?
That Dou Xi can be regarded as the elder of Guanlong, and even a relative of the emperor. As a result, Fang Jun chopped off his head without blinking an eye. Li Huaiqin would not think that he could be respected by Fang Jun because of his status as a county king. .

Yu Wenshi shook his head again and again, and sighed: "No wonder the world says that you Nanyang Hui Wang is the most stupid person in the Li and Tang royal family. In the past, I didn't believe it, but now I know that the rumors are true... the prince is so confused!"

Li Huaiqin's eyes were not good: "You old bastard, you better speak clearly, otherwise don't blame me for tying you up and sending you to His Majesty!"

Yuwen Shiji frowned in his heart, afraid that you would kick me out indiscriminately, as long as he was willing to speak...

Sitting upright in a leisurely manner, he asked instead of answering: "The reason why the king of the county is unwilling to support the king of Jin is because he wants to maintain the status quo?"

Li Huaiqin didn't say anything, and agreed to it.

Yuwen Shiji said again: "But the king of the county doesn't know what will happen to your two cousins?"

Li Huaiqin's eyes flickered.

Since he intentionally mentioned his "cousins", it would naturally not be Li Yuan's lineage, but the sons of the second uncle Li Zhan, Longxi King Gong Li Boyi, and Bohai Jingwang Li Fengci.

It is said that the two tried to make trouble in Zongzheng Temple, and they have been taken down by Han Wang Li Yuanjia and Hejian County King Li Xiaogong. However, the battle around Chang'an is tense, and all kinds of news are tightly blocked. Up to now, Li Huaiqin has not found Li Boyi and Li Fengci. specific news.

But I can guess that even if these two don't die, they will be imprisoned for life and deprived of their titles...

Yuwen Shiji continued: "To be honest, those two have already died in the rebellious army... The clan is silent, and no one dares to come forward to seek justice for them, but they are the children of Li Tang's royal family! If it weren't for their father Early death, the title of "Tang Guogong" will inevitably fall on his head, and maybe he can also create an imperial family business! What's more, when the emperor Gaozu established the country, the clan's children fought bloody battles, and the number of people who died in battle was unknown. But what kind of honor is given to you? Guard Mei County, and don't leave without authorization! There is no freedom like porpoise dogs!"

Li Huaiqin remained silent, poured the wine again, and drank it down in one gulp.

Although he was terrified of what would happen to Li Boyi and Li Fengci, if he stopped there, he would not be able to move him to attack Chang'an.

What's wrong with guarding Mei County?The land of the capital is prosperous and prosperous, and I am happy to do whatever I want in the army...

Yu Wenshi and his incisive tongue: "From the death of Dou Xi, the king of the county can see his majesty's attitude towards Guan Long. He wished he could kill him all! How can the king of the county not know the deep entanglement between Guan Long and the clan?" As the saying goes, one hair can move the whole body, as long as His Majesty raises the butcher knife at Guanlong in the future, he will inevitably be imprisoned wantonly, how can the clan stay out of the matter? The clan is not peaceful, and the county king bears the brunt of it!"

Li Huaiqin paused slightly while raising his glass, and narrowed his eyes.

He is not a moth without pursuit, but when His Majesty Li Er was in power before, he was wise, powerful, resolute and decisive, and he witnessed the "Xuanwu Gate Change" and the bloody massacre inside the clan. As a human being, he has trouble sleeping and eating, and is terrified, so he can only curl up in this place of Mei County, drinking and having fun, drinking and dreaming, trying to avoid His Majesty Li Er's sight as much as possible.

More than ten years of tenderness and love in the village have already wiped away the previous frustrations. Even if His Majesty Li Er passed away, Li Chengqian ascended the throne, and even if Guanlong launched a mutiny, he always stayed out of it, only thinking about wealth and glory, and enjoying the rest of his life in peace.

But now the king of Jin has mutinied, and the situation is completely different.

In the past, during the Guanlong Mutiny, after the emperor secured the throne, it would be a big deal to clear Guanlong out of the court. After all, the Li family in Longxi was originally from the Guanlong lineage, and their interests were entangled, intertwined, and difficult to distinguish. .

He, the king of the county, will not be involved.

But King Jin is the younger brother of the emperor and the person closest to the throne in the clan. King Jin raised troops, in a sense, it was a battle between the emperor and the clan.

As a "noble" county king, he may not be able to stay out of the matter...

After pondering for a while, Li Huaiqing weighed the pros and cons, and slowly shook his head: "Since Cheng Yaojin rushed to Xianyang Bridge to isolate things, it is impossible for anyone to go to Chang'an from Guanzhong, not to mention that Cheng Yaojin himself is a veteran of many battles and a minister of Zhenguan. , Zuo Wuwei under his command is even more elite and fierce, with one as ten, and looking at Guanzhong, who dares to say that he will win? If you can't pass the hurdle of biting gold, the rest is false."

Perhaps a few days ago, he could still have some ambitions, leading the army to compete with the army loyal to the emperor, but since Yin Qinzhou led his left guard Wei Qiang to cross the Wei River to try to attack Chang'an, but was wiped out by Fang Jun, he It was only then that I realized how powerful the top army among the Sixteen Guards was.

Even if Zuo Wuwei is not as good as You Tunwei, how much difference can there be?
At the beginning in Liaodong, Zuo Wuwei followed Cheng Yaojin to attack the city, destroy the city and pull out the stronghold, galloping across the wasteland and invincible, how can the [-] soldiers under his command covet it?

Yuwen Shiji was overjoyed when he saw his heartbeat, and said in a low voice: "If Cheng Yaojin is stationed at Xianyang Bridge but does not move, can the king of the county send troops to attack Chang'an?"

Li Huaiqin was stunned, and said in disbelief, "Duke Ying's intention...could it be that that old thief Cheng Yaojin just feinted again and didn't sincerely turn to His Majesty?"

Since the time when the king of Jin raised his army, Cheng Yaojin's various behaviors have been widely spread. In the end, neither one is happy.

Now that Chang'an is about to win, Cheng Yaojin hasn't made up his mind yet?
Yuwen Shiji said: "It's not entirely true, but even if Cheng Yaojin made up his mind to join His Majesty, he might not be willing to isolate Xianyang Bridge by himself."

Li Huaiqin wondered, "Why?"

You put up a banner to submit to His Majesty, and you took the initiative to withdraw from Mingde Gate and rushed to Xianyang Bridge to block possible enemies in Guanzhong and Longyou for Your Majesty. As a result, when Li Jing, Xue Wanche and others had entered the city and the defense outside the city was empty, Let the Guanzhong army cross the Xianyang Bridge to attack Chang'an?
No matter how confused you are, you won't be able to do things like this...

Yuwen Shiji looked determined, and said with a smile: "It is not possible to let the Guanzhong army attack Chang'an, but as long as the county king puts on a stance of fighting to the death, Cheng Yaojin will definitely retreat."

Li Huaiqin's drunken eyes were completely opened, and the light flickered: "I wish to hear the details!"

"Why did Cheng Yaojin dare to sway left and right when the king of Jin raised his troops, facing Qin Muchu? It is because Zuo Wuwei under his command is a powerful army in the world, and it is also the foundation of his Cheng Yaojin. As long as Zuo Wuwei is there, who dares to touch him Even the emperor can't do it! That's why Cheng Yaojin dared to bet on Zuo Wuwei to win a great achievement, but he didn't expect that the situation would change again and again, which made his plan completely fail and fell into a passive situation. Now if someone Do you think he dares to fight with him with red eyes, knife to knife, gun to gun?"
