The wine bottle is a bit big, and Yuwenshi and his body are not as good as before. After drinking a bottle of wine, his stomach is churning, the smell of alcohol is rising, and he is a bit heady...
Resisting the turmoil in his stomach, Yu Wenshiji put down his wine glass, put a piece of pastry into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, and then he felt slightly relieved.
Li Huaiqin clapped his hands, drove the two "rabbits" out, sat up straight, stared at Yu Wenshiji with a stern look, and asked with a smile: "The Duke of Ying came here in the rain, I don't know why?"
Although he is well-maintained, he is actually over fifty and is no longer interested in things between men and women. On the contrary, in recent years, he has become more and more interested in these handsome and delicate men. It happens that women are not allowed to accompany the army, so he often I brought a few "rabbits" with me and played with them in my spare time, which was a unique experience.
Yu Wenshiji exhaled a breath of alcohol and met the other party's eyes: "Why does the prince ask questions knowingly?"
Li Huaiqin was dissatisfied and said angrily: "You people are the most troublesome. You say it clearly when you have something to say, and you always make people guess. If you guess wrong, you have to laugh at you. Do you want to show that you are smart? Boring."
He took a jug and poured a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. The wine dripped down his beard and onto his chest, and he just wiped it casually without paying any attention to it.
The behavior is wanton and rough, and there is no pampering and graceful behavior among the clan members...
Yu Wenshiji knew that this county prince was really difficult to deal with, not because he was so witty and clever, but because he was actually surly and moody, and his behavior style was difficult to predict and could not be judged by common sense.
Now that I have something to ask for, I can only suppress my dissatisfaction and say with a smile: "When talking to smart people, naturally you have to use a smart way and tell everything clearly. Sometimes good things can lead to bad things. It is important to understand things clearly but not tell them clearly. The best state.”
Li Huaiqin held the wine glass and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Maybe, but for me, I really don't want to waste my brains on these things. Let me speak frankly. No matter what rhetoric you have prepared this time, please still Don’t open your mouth, I, the king, will not be able to do what you want.”
He is not stupid. Now that the city of Chang'an is in chaos and filled with blood, the entire Guanlong clan has been tied together to support the King of Jin. Yuwenshi and Yu Wenshi who are not in Chang'an City have come here. What's the purpose? Isn't it obvious?
Yuwen Shiji adjusted his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Li Huaiqin sneered and nodded his finger at Yu Wenshiji, showing no respect at all: "Do you think this king is a fool? Then Dou Xi is considered a relative of the emperor. He forced Yin Qinzhou to send troops to Chang'an, but the Liquan Yin family managed After decades of annihilation of the entire army of the First Guard, Dou Xi was even shown his head by Fang Er under the Xuanwu Gate as a warning to others. I never belittle myself, but I don’t think he is the opponent of Fang Er. He still wants his good head. Why should you seek death when you indulge in fine wine, beautiful women, glory and wealth? It has nothing to do with you supporting the King of Jin to fight for the throne. I will fight for yours. If you win someday, I sincerely congratulate you, but I am extremely satisfied with the status quo. Go take a dip in your muddy waters.”
Do you really think that since he is in charge of Xi County, he doesn’t know anything about Chang’an?
Dou Xi was considered an elder of Guan Long and a relative of the emperor. As a result, Fang Jun had his head chopped off without even blinking. Li Huaiqin would not think that he could gain Fang Jun's respect just because he was a county king. .
Yu Wenshiji shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "No wonder everyone in the world says that you, Prince Hui of Nanyang, are the most stupid person in the Li and Tang royal family. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I know that the rumors are true... Prince Hu Tu!"
Li Huaiqin's eyes were unkind: "You old man, you'd better speak clearly, otherwise don't blame me for tying you up and sending you to His Majesty!"
Yu Wenshiji felt something in his heart. He was afraid that you would kick me out indiscriminately. As long as he was willing to speak, it would be easier...
Sitting upright after taking some time off, he asked instead of answering: "The reason why the prince is unwilling to support King Jin is because he wants to maintain the status quo?"
Li Huaiqin said nothing and acquiesced.
Yu Wenshiji added: "But doesn't the prince know what happened to your two cousins?"
Li Huaiqin's eyes flickered.
Since he deliberately mentioned his "cousins", it would naturally not be from Li Yuan's lineage, but from the two sons of his second uncle Li Zhan, Li Boyi, King Gong of Longxi, and Li Fengci, King Jing of Bohai.
It is said that the two men who tried to stir up trouble in Zongzheng Temple have been captured by Han Wang Li Yuanjia and Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong. However, the war around Chang'an is tense and all kinds of information are extremely tightly blocked. Until now, Li Huaiqin has not yet found Li Boyi and Li Fengci. Specific news.
But you can guess that even if these two people don't die, they will be imprisoned for life and stripped of their titles...
Yu Wenshi continued: "To be honest, those two people have been killed in the rebellion... The clan is extremely silent, and no one dares to come forward to seek justice for them, but they are the children of the Li Tang royal family! If it were not their father If you die early, the title of 'Tang Guogong' will definitely fall on you, and you may be able to create an imperial family business! What's more, when Emperor Gaozu founded the country, the descendants of the clan fought bloody battles and succeeded each other. No one knows how many died in the battle. In the end, But what kind of honor is given to you? Guard Xi County and you are not allowed to leave without authorization! You are as free as a dolphin or a dog!"
Li Huaiqin remained silent, poured wine again, and drank it all in one gulp.
Although he was horrified by the fate of Li Boyi and Li Fengci, if he only stopped there, he would not be moved to attack Chang'an.
What's wrong with guarding Xi County? The land of Gyeonggi is prosperous and prosperous, and I feel comfortable doing whatever I want in the army...
Yu Wenshiji said with a sharp tongue: "From the death of Dou Xi, the prince can see His Majesty's attitude towards Guan Long, and he wishes to kill them all! And the entanglement between Guan Long and the clan is deep, how could the prince not know it? ? As the saying goes, a single move can affect the whole body. As long as His Majesty raises the butcher knife to Guan Long, there will be a lot of implication. How can the clan stay out of it? If the clan is not at peace, the prince will bear the brunt! "
Li Huaiqin's hand holding the glass paused slightly and his eyes narrowed.
He is not a silverfish without pursuits, but in the past when His Majesty Li Er was in power, he was wise, mighty, resolute, and witnessed the "Xuanwu Sect Change" and the bloody massacre within the clan with his own eyes. He once had the potential to become the helmsman of the Li family in Longxi. As a person, he has trouble sleeping and eating, and is frightened. He can only curl up in this land of Xi County, drink and have fun, and avoid the sight of His Majesty Li Er as much as possible.
More than ten years of tender love in the countryside have already worn away all the frustration and resentment. Even if His Majesty Li Er died, Li Chengqian came to the throne, and even if Guan Long launched a mutiny, he always stayed out of it, thinking only of wealth and glory, and enjoying the rest of his life.
But now that King Jin has rebelled, the situation is completely different.
In the past, when the Guanlong rebellion occurred, the emperor would most likely purge Guanlong from the court after he secured the throne. After all, the Li family in Longxi was originally from the Guanlong lineage, and their interests were entangled, intertwined, and difficult to distinguish. In many cases, they could only tolerate one side. .
He, the county king, will not be involved.
However, the King of Jin is the younger brother of the emperor and the person closest to the throne in the clan. When the King of Jin raises an army, in a sense, it is a battle between the emperor and the clan.
As a "high-status" prince, he may not be able to stay out of the matter...
After pondering for a long time, Li Huaiqing weighed the pros and cons and shook his head slowly: "Since Cheng Yaojin rushed to Xianyang Bridge to isolate things, it is impossible for anyone to rush to Chang'an from Guanzhong, not to mention that Cheng Yaojin himself is a veteran of hundreds of battles and a distinguished minister of Zhenguan. , the Zuowuwei under his command are even more elite and powerful, one is worth ten. Looking at Guanzhong, who dares to say that victory is certain? If we can't overcome the hurdle of Cheng Yaojin, the rest are all lies."
Perhaps a few days ago, he was still somewhat ambitious and led his army to compete with the army loyal to the emperor. However, since Yin Qinzhou recently led his left guard to cross the Weishui River in an attempt to attack Chang'an, but was defeated by Fang Jun, he Only then did I realize how powerful the top troops among the Sixteen Guards really were.
Even if Zuowuwei is not as good as Youtunwei, how much difference can there be?
Back in Liaodong, Zuo Wuwei followed Cheng Yaojin to capture the city, destroy the city and build the stronghold, and galloped across the wasteland invincibly. How could the 20,000 soldiers under his command be coveted?
When Yu Wenshi saw his heartbeat, he was overjoyed and said in a low voice: "If Cheng Yaojin is stationed at Xianyang Bridge but does not move, can the prince of the county send troops directly to Chang'an?"
Li Huaiqin was stunned and said in disbelief: "What Duke Ying meant... Could it be that the old thief Cheng Yaojin just made another false move and did not surrender to His Majesty wholeheartedly?"
Ever since the King of Jin raised his army, Cheng Yaojin's various behaviors have been widely spread. His behavior of vacillating between the Qin Dynasty and the late Chu Dynasty was despised by both the government and the public. They all laughed at his weak stance and half-heartedness, fearing that he would In the end, no one was pleased.
Now that Chang'an is approaching the decisive moment, Cheng Yaojin hasn't made up his mind yet?
Yu Wenshi said: "This is not entirely true, but even if Cheng Yaojin makes up his mind to join His Majesty, he may not be willing to isolate Xianyang Bridge with one man as the gate."
Li Huaiqin asked curiously: "Why is this?"
You raised a banner to submit to His Majesty, and took the initiative to withdraw from Mingde Gate and rush to Xianyang Bridge to defend His Majesty from possible enemies in Guanzhong, Longyou and other areas. As a result, when Li Jing, Xue Wanche and others had entered the city and the defense outside the city was empty, you Allow the Guanzhong army to cross Xianyang Bridge to attack Chang'an?
Even Hutu would not do things like this...
Yu Wenshiji looked determined and said with a smile: "It is not necessarily possible to allow the Guanzhong army to attack Chang'an, but as long as the prince assumes a posture of fighting to the death, Cheng Yaojin will definitely retreat."
Li Huaiqin's drunken eyes opened completely and flashed: "I would like to hear the details!"
"Why did Cheng Yaojin dare to sway against Qin Mu and Chu when the King of Jin raised his army? The reason is that the Zuo Wuwei under his command is the strongest army in the world, and it is the foundation of 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 use Zuo Wuwei as a bet to win a great achievement, but he didn't expect that the situation would change again and again, causing his plan to completely fail and fall into a passive situation. Now if someone Do you think he would dare to fight him to the death with knife to knife and gun to gun with red eyes?"
