Chapter ** The Road to the Future

It was already dark and the wind was blowing outside the house.

Li Yanqing stood in the attic with his hands behind his back and silent. From him, he could see the towering imperial city walls and even the large flag swaying on the city gate tower.

This is a large mansion located outside the east city of the imperial city. It has a courtyard of nine in and nine out, covering an area of ​​hundreds of hectares.

When you go out, you will see Xuanren Gate. Go in, heading north to Hanjia Gate, south to Chengfu Gate, and then approach west to see where the East Palace is. Previously, this was the palace of the King of Qi, the Sui Dynasty. After Wang Shichong ascended the throne, this place became Wang Xuanshu's residence. As a royal family member and as the King of Henan, Li Yanqing chose the former Qi Palace and sent someone to report to the court, believing that the war would end and the national strength was scarce. If there was a large construction, it would be obviously not suitable. The Qi Palace covers a vast area, which is exactly what he wants and there is no need for the emperor to worry about.

He is the King of Henan and Luoyang will be his residence in the future.

Regardless of whether Yan Qing can join the vassal state in the future, this royal palace is indispensable.

Li Yanqing was not a person who likes luxury either. Moreover, there was a loft in the Qi Palace, which was made of green bamboo at the foot of Longmen Mountain, which was very suitable for his taste. The ancients used bamboo to express their ambitions, and Li Yanqing's ten poems on bamboo further established the nobleness of bamboo and the unyielding integrity of bamboo.

When he was young, he lived in the bamboo garden at the foot of Longmen Mountain.

Now, the bamboo garden has long been turned into a ruin, and it is obviously unlikely to regain the feelings of the past. On the contrary, there is a bamboo forest around the attic in the Qi Palace. It is said that the Qi King Yang Qing ordered people to transplant them from Longmen Mountain, and they grew very lushly.

Standing on the bamboo building, Li Yanqing faintly felt the life in the bamboo garden back then.

Now, the last day of Wude’s second year!

Today is the New Year.

The arrival of the three years of Wude will bring him a new beginning. However, Yan Qing also knew that the road ahead will be full of thorns.

As the saying goes, it is a good thing to kill people if you are a senior official.

Although Liu Wenjing was an old minister of Yuan Cong, Li Yuan did not value it. After experiencing the defeat of Sensuwara, Liu Wenjing's rights were even reduced. If Li Shimin had not guaranteed it, Liu Wenjing would have lost his life after Sensuwarawara's defeat.

He could be arrogant in front of Du Ruhui, but he could not be Li Yanqing's thunderous anger.

After whipping him hard during the day, Liu Wenjing had to salute respectfully and shouted: Thank you for the teachings of the King of Henan...

Wonderful power!

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Li Yanqing's mouth.

But if this whip goes down, he and Li Shimin will definitely be as powerful as water and fire.

Li Shimin is a perseverant person. Although he is smiling on his face and doesn't say anything on his mouth, he must be extremely angry in his heart.

When he was about to part in the daytime, the resentment in his eyes was captured by Li Yanqing.

Yan Qing would not be so stupid that he thought that after Li Shimin really ascended the throne in the future, he would not blame him. Since ancient times, there have been many things to do to kill donkeys and cross rivers. If an emperor wants to kill people, even if he is a royal family, he will not have any scruples. That history of the founding of the country is not a bloody killing history. Li Yanqing also knew that his reputation was too high, and even if Li Shimin was arrogant, he might not tolerate it.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

"Prince, the eldest grandson is awake."

A faint sound of footsteps came from the attic stairs.

Just listening to the sound, Li Yanqing knew that it was Liu Qing coming up...

"I'll go down now."

Yan Qing turned around and walked downstairs.

Liu Qing leaned over and made a way for Yan Qing.

"Prince, my honest arm is ruined."

Li Yanqing paused under his feet, then walked downstairs expressionlessly.

On the first floor of the bamboo building, in the center is a hall of about 300 square meters. There are three side rooms on both sides, one to two volumes, which is the size of six rooms.

Changsun Wuji was seriously injured and was unconscious after being carried back.

Li Yanqing walked into the room and happened to meet the imperial physician.

"The eldest grandson's injury is not too serious, it is all flesh and blood. The prince doesn't need to worry."

"kindness!"

Li Yanqing nodded, and as soon as he entered the house, he suddenly said, "Liu Qing, take the imperial physician to visit the honest and tell him to recover from his injuries, so there is no need to worry. Gu's palace needs someone to take care of. From today on, he will be the family order of the palace of the Qi palace."

Every royal palace will have corresponding subordinates, which are the so-called retainers.

However, unlike ordinary families, the retainers of the royal family have the corresponding rank. The Eastern Palace Family Order is based on the fourth rank, and the Prince's House Family Order should be based on the fifth rank. The County Prince's House Family Order is based on the seventh rank. This rank is not too high, but its identity is not ordinary. Every palace will have a Jialing Temple to be responsible for food, storage and storage.

This is considered a close minister of the royal palace, and the representative of going out is also the decentness of the royal palace.

Under the fifth rank, the royal family orders to go to the court without worshipping. However, these people are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, and there are completely appointed by the owners of each royal family.

In other words, as long as it is not a murder or rebellion, the local government has no right to deal with it.

The family order is in the royal palace and is a person with little authority. What is needed is not how talented he is, but his loyalty to his master.

At this point, Liang Houshi has proved himself.

Liu Qing was stunned, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

He has a good relationship with Liang Hushi and is often taken care of by Guanshi on weekdays. Previously, he was worried that after Guanshi was disabled, he would be kicked out of the palace. You know, this kind of thing is not surprising. Guanshi after being disabled, and Guanshi will face a situation where life is worse than death. Now, Li Yanqing not only does not drive Liang Hushi away, but has promoted it to a family order, which has also made Liu Qing feel a little grateful.

It is a blessing for them to meet a kind-hearted master.

The door closed and Li Yanqing sat beside the bed.

Changsun Wuji looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Yangzhen, I've caused you trouble..."

"Wuji, family, why both of you say the words of two families? Not to mention that we are in-laws, even if we have no relationship with Guanyin maid, you and I have known each other since childhood. After many years, how can I sit back and see you being bullied? You and I are one, hurting you and hurting me, and my heart.

But I beat a few ungrateful guys. Even if I kill them, what is it? You should take good care of your illness. I have sent someone to Gong County. In a few days, my mother and Guanyin maid will come. I guess you don’t want them to see your swelling nose…”

Yan Qing and Changsun Wuji spoke very casually.

Changsun Wuji laughed out loud, but grinned because of the injuries on his face.

"Yangzhen, you are the prince after all. How can you speak like before?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly and patted Changsun Wuji's arm, "We have known each other for ten years... Haha, I'm afraid I can't change it ten years ago."

The smile on Wuji's face is even more intense!

"I heard that you beat Liu Wenjing?"

"kindness!"

"What's the hard work?" Changsun Wuji said softly: "Liu Wenjing is a very sinister person and will retaliate. After all, he is an old minister of Yuan Cong. If you beat him like this, you may cause trouble."

"Ha, am I afraid of trouble?"

Changsun Wuji sat up and said, "You are different now than before. When you were in Xingyang, you were the only one in charge and you will do whatever you like. But now, you are a minister, and everything can't be done by your own nature as before, just because you are afraid you will cause trouble."

“Right?”

Li Yanqing sneered, "My right and wrong has never stopped."

He got up and walked to the door, opened the door and looked outside, and sat back.

"Do you know, why I came late today?"

"oh?"

Changsun Wuji was knocked unconscious in Fengdu City at that time, so he was not sure about what happened later.

Li Yanqing whispered: "I received a guest in Huairenfang at noon... Haha, you must not think of who you are."

Changsun Wuji turned his eyes and wrote the word "dong" on the couch with his fingers, and then looked at Yan Qing with an inquiring look.

Li Yanqing was stunned and immediately smiled.

Changsun Wuji is indeed worthy of being Changsun Wuji, a famous minister in Zhenguan!

He did not inherit Changsun Sheng's mantle, but the owner was not inferior to Changsun Sheng's wisdom. With just one sentence, he guessed the answer. This surprised Li Yanqing very much! He asked softly: "Wuji, how did you guess it?"

"Since ancient times, the royal family has no affection."

Changsun Wuji looked at Yan Qing without thinking that Yan Qing was a royal family at all, but he had any concerns. He said: "It has only been twenty years since the dispute between Yang Guang and Prince Yang Yong. Some people have forgotten it, but some people will not. The current form is similar to that in the past? The prince is in charge of the capital, while the prince is in charge of the army, fighting on the battlefield... The prince is not a mediocre person, how can he not see the mystery of this? The King of Qin holds the right commander army, while the King of Zhao is in charge of Wuwei and controls the left commander army.

I heard that the King of Qin and King Zhao have always had good friends, and the King of Zhao is even more courageous to be unstoppable by thousands of men.

In comparison, how can the prince who lost his military power not be scruples? Before, the King of Qin and Wang Shichong confronted him, but he ignored him. His intention... Haha, now that the King of Qin has taken Luoyang, I am afraid the prince will feel even more uneasy in his heart.

He needs someone to suppress the King of Qin, and this person not only needs to be a great military achievement, but also a member of the royal family.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for ordinary foreign ministers to suppress the King of Qin... But there are countless people in the royal family who are good at fighting, but you are the most suitable one."

"It's Li Quan."

"oh?"

"The prince's young master Li Gang's nephew."

Changsun Wuji smiled, "I guessed right, that's right."

Li Yanqing nodded and smiled, "The prince has returned to Chang'an. When Li Gang heard that I came to Luoyang, he guessed my purpose. So he stationed troops in Heyang, and then sent someone to stop Duke Dou County in Yanshi... The prince meant that he should not let the King of Qin stay in Luoyang, so as not to become bigger."

"It's similar to what I guess...what are you going to choose?"

As Changsun Wuji grows older and his experiences gradually become richer, the plan becomes more and more mature. He can infer a lot of content from one sentence. Li Yanqing needs such a counselor, and Du Ruhui Xueshou is not necessarily worse than Changsun Wuji, but in a certain way, they are ultimately not as close as Changsun Wuji and Yan Qing. Not only are they brothers, but also in-laws. Especially as Wugui gave birth to Li Zhou, Wuji and Yan Qing became closer. Many things and many words, people like Du Ruhui Xueshou want to say, but they may not dare to talk to Li Yanqing. But Wuji is different, and he can not have too many concerns.

Yan Qing said: "What do you think?"
