The seventieth time The Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust first met the Hero The second soldier of the jianghu was slightly a wizard

Last time the book said that Li Yuan's family was worried about the wood for the construction of the Jinyang Palace, Li Shimin said that the wood was available, and Li Yuan asked him where he was. Li Shimin said: "Talk back to Daddy, there is a Tianlei Temple in the west gate of Taiyuan, which was built by the emperor of the Han Dynasty." This ancient temple has five floors, all of which are the same size as the emperor's palace. There is a scripture building in the back, and there are many cross-border courtyards around it, and there are many woods used. I often play chess with elder Mingde, the head of the Tianlei Temple, and get to know each other warmly. I thought we could discuss with the elders and tear down the temple first, and borrow wood for the time being. Until the next year, people were sent to the south to procure high-grade wood and rebuild the Tianlei Temple for them. Do you think it works? When Li Yuan heard this, he laughed: "Did you hear it?" I don't blame the people behind my back, everything I am embarrassed about, he can think of a way for me. This is called having wisdom not being old, and being unwise and empty being a hundred years old. Son, do you think about it, can this old monk let us demolish the temple? "Daddy, you can rest assured, I'm going." Saying that, Li Shimin walked out of his home and went to the Tianlei Temple in Ximenli.

At this time, there were just three otherworldly people in the Heavenly Thunder Temple. Who? It can be the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" in the previous book "Flower Lantern". One of the three heroes is named Li Jing, a medicine man with a character table, one is called Zhang Zhongjian, nicknamed Qiu Gong, and the other is Zhang Zhongjian's sister Zhang Chuchen, nicknamed Red Breeze Girl. The Zhang brothers and sisters came to the interior of the Central Plains from overseas, and their ancestors were also From the Central Plains in the previous dynasty, and they fled China and moved to a foreign land because they were framed by adultery. This Zhang Zhongjian has a very peculiar appearance, his head is like the head of a dragon, his eyes are like pearls in the sea, his face is like purple liver, and his eyebrows are fiery red. The red beard on his face was rolled up, and he tore the old man out with his hand, and when he let go of his hand, he grunted and curled back. Hence the name Officia. Don't look at his clumsy appearance, but he is an insider. The strategy of governing the country and the security of the country and the method of using troops to deploy troops are deeply familiar to him, whether it is In China or abroad. All kinds of weapons, immediately step hard, jump vertically, land soaring, he will not do anything. This man is a chivalrous man, he himself suffers from chaos, and when he hears that the monarch of which country is dim and the common people are approved, they all have deep sympathy and try to break into it and help the people get out of the water and fire. Now that he had heard that there had been a late emperor Yang Guang in the ancestral home of his homeland, and that there was also a great traitorous minister, Yang Su, the king of Yue, who had done some things that brought calamity to the country and the people, and that countless ordinary people had died in the ravines, so he took his sister out of the dust and sneaked into the interior and went to Lingshi Town, Yuci County, Taiyuan County, Hedong. There was a business friend he had met overseas. The two brothers and sisters settled at his friend's house. Duke Qiu asked his sister to go out of the dust to the capital Chang'an to listen to the truth, and when he had the opportunity, he wanted to kill Yang Su, the king of Yue, first to vent his anger to the common people, and he visited the hero Hao Jie everywhere in the Hedong area, a benevolent man, who wanted to form a life-and-death friendship and jointly carry out the great cause of opposing the Sui. He thought, with my talents, I will be able to chase the deer in the Central Plains and do it for twenty or thirty years, and I will definitely be able to sweep away the evil and win the world. If I want to become emperor, I will exert my great talents and strategies to govern China in an orderly manner. His sister Zhang Chuchen went to Chang'an, managed to blend in with the Yue King's Mansion, and became a singer. Whenever Yang Su, the king of Yue, saw guests in the hall, he always had to let dozens of beautiful women accompany him on both sides, one of whom was holding a red ponytail dust in his hand, that is, Zhang Chuchen, so people called her a red whisker girl. After a while, the Red Breeze Woman sat down on the action of the traitor Yang Su, and the bright road and secret passage in the mansion had already been cleared. On this day, Yang Suo was watching the song and dance in the hall, and after singing a song, he overheard the doorman coming to report: "Prince Qi, the old general of the Shangzhu State Han Huhu recommended Li Jing to serve in the palace to come to see him." Yang Su sat on the soft bed and dragged a long voice and said, "Tell him to come in!" It turned out that this Li Jing was Han Baohu's nephew, who was just in his early twenties, and had been familiar with reading the history books since childhood, and his literary and martial talents were slightly superior. He was very dissatisfied with the perverse actions of Yang Guang, Yang Su and the like, and often said: "If the eldest husband meets the Lord at the right time, he will make meritorious contributions and serve the country." Han Jiehu recommended him to the Yue King's Mansion, ostensibly to help Yang Su do things, and secretly to let him monitor Yang Su's actions. At this time, the royal family led Li Jing into the hall. Standing in the song and dance class, the red whispered girl looked at it, this prince wore a goose-yellow male scarf on his head, wore a lake green dagger, embroidered flowers, his face was like beautiful jade, his eyes were like Lang Xing, his appearance was dignified, and there was an aggressive and heroic atmosphere between his eyebrows, and he did not feel a movement in his heart. Li Jing rushed forward, his legs bent down: "Old Wang Ye is on the top, student Li Jing is in this box..." The word "courtesy" below has not yet been spoken, and when he saw Yang Su sitting on the soft bed with his legs crossed, his head was not raised, and he immediately stood up and arched his hands and said: "Old Wang Ye, now the world is full of smoke and dust, heroes are out at the same time, you are a heavy courtier of the imperial court, you must always put the collection of talents in your heart, you should not cross your legs to see people like this!" The red-haired woman next to her looked in her eyes, this scholar was really behaving extraordinary, Yang Su had always been like this to cross his legs to see guests, how many princes and eunuchs, civil officials and martial artists would be slaves. None of them had such a backbone as he did, and they didn't feel secretly admiring him. Yang Su saw Li Jing bumping into himself, just about to have a seizure, thinking about it, he dared to speak to me like this, he must not be an idle person, I would like to ask him. Thinking of this, he stood up and said to Li Jing: "The old man is not polite and has many offenses, the prince came to my house, I don't know what good advice to offer, please sit down and talk." The two sat down. Yang Su was originally a marshal who led his troops to fight, and when he asked Li Jing about his knowledge of the world and the method of using soldiers; what were the Three Tombs and Five Classics, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Taigong Liutao, Huangshi Sanluo, and so on, Li Jing did not hesitate to answer them. Yang Su was greatly surprised and immediately sent him to be the head of the palace and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. This master bookkeeper is responsible for managing the clerks and archives in the government, and is a very confidential position. The red-haired woman was a very intelligent woman, she paid great attention to Li Jing's speech and demeanor, and after a long time, she could see the flaws. Don't look at Li Jing being valued by Yang Su, talking and laughing freely, but he and Yang Su are not a heart!! She secretly thought in her heart that Li Jing was a person with great ambitions and good intentions, and when he came to the palace, he must have other plans. If we have the help of this person, why should we not worry about the great things of our brothers and sisters?

Just to say that this day is the fifteenth lantern festival of the first month, and it is the birthday of Yang Su, the king of Yue. Officials from all over the world did not dare not send people to the capital to send birthday gifts to the King of Yue. During the day, the palace received birthday gifts, and Li Jing kept the accounts and was busy for a day. In the evening, his maternal uncle Han Baohu invited him to a banquet at the palace. When he arrived at the Shangzhu State Mansion, between the banquets, he said privately to Han Baohu: "Uncle, you let me monitor the King of Yue, according to my observation these days, the King of Jin and the King of Yue and the Chancellor collude with each other, with the intention of usurping the throne, and they are each pregnant with a ghost fetus." Receiving birthday gifts in the royal palace today makes me angry, the palace is full of corrupt and tricksters, and most of the officials in various places are people who tend to be inflammatory. I don't think this Great Sui Dynasty can be long-lasting. For the opportunity, I want to leave the palace, look for like-minded people, and show the ambition of Kunpeng. Han Jiehu said, "Of course I am very happy that my nephew has such great ambitions, but you must be more careful." Li Jing returned to the palace and saw that it was quiet and quiet. Because there were flower lanterns all night in Chang'an City, people watched the lights. He went into the bedroom, drank a little more wine with Fangcai, and fell asleep.

Li Jing had just woken up in his room when he overheard a crackling outside and someone knocking on the door in a low voice. He hurriedly dressed and went down to the ground, opened the door, and saw a man standing outside the door, draped in a large purple hat, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and a pocket with a wooden staff on his shoulder. He asked, "What are you?" The man whispered softly, "Gongzi wants to ask, I am the singer in the house who holds a red dust in her hand, my name is Zhang Chuchen." Li Jing saw her dressed as a man, and knew that there must be a reason, so he let her come into the house. The Red Breeze Woman entered the house and took off her big hat and hat, revealing the colorful clothes with flowers inside. Li Jing fixed her eyes on it, this woman is also eighteen or nineteen years old, no rouge powder, no ring admiration, beauty comes from nature, the face is like a peach blossom, the body is like a weak willow facing the wind, the eyebrows are like spring mountains with rain, the eyes are like autumn water, the eyebrows are turning, and the room is full of brilliance. The Red Breeze Lady stepped forward and said, "Concubines take the liberty of visiting and hope that the prince will forgive her sins." Li Jing asked, "I don't know when the girl came here?" The Red Whisperer said, "Gongzi, how many talents I have seen in the palace, but none of them can match yours." I have observed you for many days, and I know that you have the ambition to soar to the heavens in your chest and are waiting for the opportunity to rivet the sword to serve the country. The two of them can be said to be like-minded, and my brother and I returned to the Central Plains from overseas in order to kill traitors like Yang Guang and Yang Su and eliminate harm for the people. My brother is recruiting people in Hedong. If the Prince of Meng does not abandon him, I am willing to commit myself to it, flee the palace with the Prince, go straight to Hedong, and plot a great plan against the Sui with my brother. Li Jing was stunned by this sudden incident, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a chivalrous and courageous and beautiful woman in the Yue King's Mansion! I thought that I could really be with her, and get the help of his brother, and I would be rewarded with ambition, and I would like to be enough! Li Jing was the lord of the royal palace, bo, knew everything inside, and it was expected that it was definitely not Yang Su who sent a beautiful woman to tempt him, thought about it for a while, and said: "The girl's words are exactly what I want." I have an obscure plan in the main house, in order to bend and stretch, and now that I have been recognized by the girl, I wish you to go to Hedong together. When the sky is dark, you and I hurry up and escape! At the moment, Li Jing cleaned up the soft, and the red-haired woman dressed up in men's clothes, stopped a little, and the two of them ran away together. The gatekeeper family of the palace and Li Jing were very familiar with each other, thinking that he had taken the boy out of the house early in the morning, and did not need a detailed room, so he let him go. By the time they found out the next day that the two were missing, they could not catch up. This is what the former document "Nanyang Guan" said about qiu Rui, the king of Changping, who heard when he was passing through the Yue King's mansion, that Li Jing abducted the singer Red Whisperer.

The book should be short, Li Jing and the Red Breeze Lady left the palace, first went to the city to buy two horses, and the two of them whipped the horses and galloped away in the northeast direction. Along the way, Xiao traveled overnight, hungry and thirsty. People think that they are a couple, but in fact they only have the name of husband and wife, and there is no fact of husband and wife. They are heroes and heroines, who feel sorry for each other, who are sympathetic and affectionate. Not only one day later, the two finally came to Lingshi Town, Yuci County, Taiyuan County, Hedong. Seeing the Bearded Duke, the Red Breeze Lady introduced the origin of Li Jing and Li Yaoshi to her brother, and the Bearded Duke was very happy! The three of them sat down, drank and talked, you talked to my heart, I talked about your intentions, and said that everything went together. Everyone had heard rumors from the capital that Yang Su, the King of Yue, and Cheng Xiangyu culture and helped Yang Guang kill his father and brother, usurped the throne of the Son of Heaven, and wu Jianzhang, the king of zhongxiao, scolded the emperor in the upper hall for having knocked his teeth and tongue and cut off the door; now Yang Su was ordered to forcibly recruit the world's migrant workers to build the eastern capital Luoyang. Speaking of this, the bearded prince asked in detail about Yang Su's personality habits, living habits, and the courtyard settings of the Yue King's Mansion, the walls and roads, and so on. After listening, he laughed and said, "Sister, and Li Gongzi, the two of you are waiting here for a while, and I will immediately run to Chang'an City to ask for the head of the old traitor Yang Su." Li Jing and the Red Breeze Woman said in unison, "Brother, be more careful." The next day, the Duke of Qiu rode on a fast horse to run to the Capital Division. In the previous document "The Gathering of Heroes", it was said that Yang Lin, the patron king, came from Jindi Pass and returned to the Capital Division, and when he arrived at the Yue King's Mansion, his family told him that there was a great disaster in the palace: after the Yue King rested peacefully that night, the next morning he found that Wang Ye's head was missing! Yang Lin cried bitterly at the third brother Yang Su, and sent people around to collect the murderer, but he could not find it everywhere, so he had to leave it as a suspense case. This cut off Yang Su's head was not someone else, it was The Duke of Qiu. After three more days that night, Duke Qiu secretly jumped over the wall and jumped into the Yue King's Mansion, touched Yang Su's bedroom, and did it happily. He wiped the blood from the man's head, and when it was empty, wrapped it in a tarpaulin bag, and jumped out of the wall carrying the bag. At dawn, he rode to the town of Lingshi. Li Jing and the Red Breeze Girl waited for him here for about a month, and this day they saw him slip back with a bag, knowing that it was done, the three of them secretly found a barren slope to bury Yang Su's head. Their landlord, the bearded man's friend, also knew about this very pleasant matter, and secretly clapped his hands in praise, and held the three of them in high esteem.

One day, Duke Qiu said to his sister and Li Jing: "Now that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in the whole world, only the people in this corner of Taiyuan can still live and work in peace and contentment. There was an elder Mingde in the Tianlei Temple in The Ximenli Temple in Taiyuan, and last year he traveled here, and we made friends. Let's go see him together. Li Jing and the Red Breeze Girl were both willing to go, and the three of them packed up and went to Taiyuan. After walking for a day or two, I entered Taiyuan City and found the Tianlei Temple. When he saw elder Mingde who was in charge here, he had finished the ceremony, and then introduced Li Jing and his sister to the elder, one by one. The elder asked the little monk to vacate a cross-house, and the three brothers and sisters stayed here.

At this time, Elder Mingde also had two friends who had come from afar living in the temple, one named Yuan Tiangang and the other named Li Chunfeng, both of whom were famous Taoist scholars at that time, who were deeply familiar with astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and the study of almanac. Elder Mingde introduced them to the Zhang siblings and Li Jing, greeted each other, and sat down to talk. As soon as everyone opened their mouths, they talked about the world's major events and the country's crisis, and the conversation was very speculative. Talking about it, when talking about Li Yuan, the Marquis of Taiyuan, they all said that now all the beings in the world have been destroyed, only this area of Hedong is governed by Li Yuan, and the people can be regarded as burning high incense and enjoying Hongfu! These people lived in the temple and often talked about strategies for governing the country and the country. The Duke of Qiu's hair passed on some overseas strange books on military exercises to Li Jing, and Li Jing had a lot of insight.

This Matilda elder loves to play Go the most. This Go is also called big chess, black and white two sons, nine stars three hundred and sixty-one roads, planning in the heart, endless changes. When The Rainbow Haired Duke did not arrive in Taiyuan, this old monk's chess skills were really superior here. When the bearded man arrived here, the old monk played chess with him several times, but he lost all the games. This time, the old monk played chess with Qiu Qigong again, and Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng sat next to watch. The old monk made a mistake and lost twenty seeds. The bearded duke said, "Elder, don't you want to win me." To tell you the truth, I have traveled overseas to various countries, played countless games of chess, and have not yet met an opponent. On the art of chess, just count me Zhang Zhongjian! "When the old monk heard him boast about this sea mouth, he was not convinced, so he said." Mr. Zhang, don't be busy, you don't have to say this big word. I don't know the masters in the distance, just take Taiyuan Province, no one can suppress me when I play this chess, I am only afraid of one person. "Elder, who are you afraid of?" "We play big chess here, there is a guy nicknamed Gai Taiyuan, and no one's chess can suppress this one." I played chess with him and returned to lose more than I lost to your son. When he heard this, he was very interesting: "Oh, but I don't know who this Gai Taiyuan is?" The old monk said, "Where do you want to ask, it is the second son of Hou Jiyuan of Taiyuan, whose name is Li Shimin." He had time to come to me to play chess. It's been a few months since a few of you have come, and maybe there's something going on at home, otherwise why hasn't he come back? Speaking of this, Li Chunfeng interjected: "Speaking of Li Shimin, I know his details." This second prince is brilliant, has far-reaching expectations, is decisive in the face of opportunities, is informal, has great ambitions and does not reveal it, and it seems that he will become a great instrument, and perhaps in the future, the great task of cutting off traitors and entering the Central Plains will fall on him! There's another secret here. You know what? The crowd asked, "What secret?" Li Chunfeng said, "Do you know why these two sons are called Li Shimin?" "I don't know!" Shortly after the birth of the second prince, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, was degraded, and the courtiers and the public sympathized with him. At that time, my father had abandoned the official and became a Taoist priest, calling himself Huang Guanzi. He looked at the child and said to Tang Guogong, "You are the noble son of your life, and you will certainly be the talent of the people of Ji Shi'an in the future." I didn't want Marquis Li to take the word "Shimin of Ji Shi'anMin" as the name of this child. You think, The Marquis of Taiyuan and his two sons want to help the people of the world, and this ambition to help the crisis is not small! The old monk said, "A good One Ji Shi AnMin!" Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Yuan, you are busy, more than our second son Li arrives, I will give you a meeting, exchanges. Mr. Zhang, if you play a game of chess with him, you will know how he covers Taiyuan! Hongfu Gong said: "Listening to you say this, I will definitely meet this Second Prince Li", and everyone laughed and dispersed. In fact, it was not a day for The Bearded Duke to remember this Li Shimin in his heart. When he visited the hero Haojie in Hedong, people mentioned Li Shimin, saying that he had the talent to fix the country and the state, and there was no one who did not extend his thumb. Today, I listened to the introduction of the elder and Li Chunfeng, and he made up his mind to meet Li Shimin for a while, to compete with him for the top and the bottom, and to discuss the high and low. If it is proved that there is really such a prodigy of the country and the state, this central plains thing will let him do it, and there are still one or two countries in the southeast of the overseas that are in chaos, waiting to go to ping it!

On this day, the spring day is sunny and the wind is pleasant, and the elder Matilda and the bearded prince play chess under the eaves in front of the main hall. Around the chess table, Li Jing, Hongfu Nu, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng were either sitting or standing, all gathering to watch chess. At this time, Li Shimin came to the Tianlei Temple for the wood of the Jinyang Palace. When you get to the left corner door, there is a bang for the door. The little monk inside asked, "Who's out there?" Li Shimin said, "{It's me, Little Master, you open the door!") The little monk opened the door and said, "Amitabha, who am I, it turned out to be Li Ergongzi." "Say it and you have to owe it to yourself." Li Shimin hurriedly stopped, "Little Master, don't do the ritual." Is your Master here? "You have come just in time, my master is in front of the main hall, playing chess with his friend." Come with me! The little monk led the way, and Li Shimin followed him to the front of the main hall. The little monk shouted, "Master, Second Prince Li is here!" Hearing this shout, the bearded man thought to himself: Ah! I really want who comes and who wants to come. The old monk said "Yes please" and stood up. Li Shimin walked slowly onto the steps. Everyone paid attention to this second prince of Li, and saw that he was about twenty years old, eight feet tall, with a thin waist and arms, shoulders hugged, wearing a royal blue Wensheng Gongzi scarf, wearing a royal blue tongqi, embroidered flowers, green collar, and white sleeves. Looking at the face again, the face is like a crown jade, the light is shining, the heavenly court is full, the earth is plump, and the two sword eyebrows are directly inserted into the sideburns. The two eyes are shining, the soap is clear, white is like foundation, and black is like paint. The quasi-head is upright, the four-character wide mouth, the left and right ears have wheels, and the chin is not bearded, which is the handsome young man. When he came in, people immediately felt refreshed and full of life. The old monk took a look. He clapped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Second Son Li, why didn't he come? Li Shimin stepped forward and held his fist and bowed down to give a deep salute: "Teacher Father, recently the family has been busy with things, and I have not been able to visit, so I have come to visit Master today." The old monk said, "The prince has come just in time, come and come, and I will give you a meeting." He pointed his finger at the bearded man. The bearded man stood up and made such an appearance. Li Shiminxin said: This man's appearance and dress are really amazing. Seeing that he was tall and tall, three stops wide, ten girths around his waist, wearing a fleece hat on his head, chicken crown appearance, the front of the hat brim was rolled up, there were pompoms matching, the back of the head was protected by the neck, although the sun was warm and windy, he was also wearing a short fur jacket, a cross loop with purple silk rope on the chest, a belt tied around the waist, a red hair sword under the ribs, a tight leather pants under the lower body, high-speed leather boots, and the head was bright after the skin was turned over. Look at the face again, the head is like a wheat bucket, seven high and eight low, the face is like raw sheep liver, two broom eyebrows, a pair of green eyes, a collapsed nose bridge, nostrils, a large mouth in a brazier, a big ear with a wheel, a full face of fiery cheeks, a curl, a knot in the knot. The old monk said, "This is a good friend of mine, surnamed Zhang Zhongjian, nicknamed Duke Qiu, who returned to the Central Plains from overseas." Ah, Mr. Zhang, this is the Li Gongzi I often mention to you, the Second Young Master of the Marquis of Taiyuan, you should see each other as a courtesy! Li Shimin stepped forward and gave a fist salute: "Mr. Zhang has always been good, and I am polite in this room." The bearded man hugged his fist: "Well, son, I have returned the courtesy!" The old monk said, "Come and come!" One pointed to the woman: "This is Mr. Zhang's younger sister, called Zhang Chuchen, nicknamed Red Breeze Girl. Li Shimin took a look, this woman was wearing a dress on the upper body, the lower body was hanging brocade, her eyes were flickering, beautiful as a fairy, and her appearance and temperament were rare in the world. He followed up with a salute: "Ah, I have this courtesy." Zhang Chuchen's two fists fell to his chest, so ten thousand blessings: "I have returned the gift to the second son here." The old monk pointed at Li Jing again and said, "Second son, this medicine man with the surname Li Jing, I will show you." When Li Shimin saw that this person was also heroic and extraordinary, he hurried forward to give a fist salute, and Li Jing returned the salute. Li Shimin thought in his heart, from the many jianghu Haojie I befriended, he heard that there were three heroes of wind and dust, and he also got a message that he didn't know whether it was true or not, and heard that the head of Yang Su, the king of Yue, was just for them to take away! I couldn't imagine that today I saw the Three Heroes of Wind and Dust in the Thunder Temple, which was really a coincidence! At this time, the old monk introduced the two friends behind the table to Li Shengmin and said, "This is yuan tiangang, this is called Li Chunfeng, and the two celebrities are both three Qing Dao chiefs, please see them." Li Shimin hugged his fist and said, "I have seen two Dao Elders." Yuan and Li raised their heads and said, "We have returned the gift to the second son." The old monk invited everyone to sit down and talk, and said, "You are really lucky to meet today!" Li Shimin said, "Master, I gave heaven a moment to see you didn't expect to meet so many celebrities here, it really can be said that you have the opportunity to meet thousands of miles, and you don't have the opportunity to meet each other." It must also be said that Master you are widely friends, here Buddha, Tao, Confucianism are complete, Master you can be described as the Three Treasures, these two Daoist chiefs can be described as Sanqing, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang can be called Confucians. As the saying goes: Cui Shu Fu Algae Thin Water Ya, Confucian Crown Daoist Robes, Safflower White Lotus Green Lotus Leaves, the Three Sects were originally one. Today, everyone is reunited, it is really a blessing in three lifetimes! Everyone said in unison, "Second son, you have praised!" "The old monk ordered someone to offer tea. Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "Master, I just came in and saw you and this Mr. Zhang playing chess, and you are still taking the stubble, I am watching from the side, and I am also learning." The old monk listened and said, "Oh Second Son, don't hide from you, this Mr. Zhang is superb at chess, and I can't win the family." You're a master, so let's put a game with the two of you! "As he spoke, he pulled the broken chess pieces, and the black and white sons separated and put them into two baskets." Come and come, second son. The old monk stood up and gave up his seat to Li Shimin. Li Jing said from the side: "Jiuwen Gongzi is highly skilled in chess, and we all want to see it." Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also praised a few words. Li Shimin said, "Whew! Don't listen to what my master said, I am just learning to play chess, how can I be smart! I dare not! At this time, the bearded man was already sitting down at the chess table, and he slightly skimmed his mouth: "Second son. Don't be too modest, I'm going to meet with the boy for a while, come and come, let's go! With that, he reached out and took the white spoon. Because the rule of playing big chess is that the black side goes first, and whoever goes first is easier to seize the advantage, so it is usually a white chess game with high chess skills and an older person, and a poor chess player and a young person who takes black chess. The bearded man snatched this white chess piece, that means to show madness, don't look at your name Gai Taiyuan, I am always older than you, today I will let you go this first move, but to see how clever your chess skills are. Li Shimin also understood what he meant, so he said, "Be well, since the white son belongs to you, this black son belongs to me." But Mr. Zhang, I am a Taiyuan native, sitting on the ground as the main; you are a foreigner, a guest from outside, although I am holding a black child, we do not distinguish between black and white, or please sir you take this first step! The bearded man said, "That shouldn't be, because I'm anti-guest today." In the case of this Heavenly Thunder Temple, I have been here for many days, and I only saw you come to the temple today, so you are a guest, and I have to let you take this first step. "Li Shiminxin said that you can really say this mouth, didn't you let me take this first step first?" Nice! Don't look at the spring sedum you are wearing a short fur jacket, this is called cold and heat do not invade! I don't want you to sweat a lot in a hurry, and you don't know how I am Li Shimin. He thought so that his mouth was still particularly modest and respectful, and he hugged his fist: "Oh Mr. Zhang, thank you for your concession, student, I am bold!" "Hey, you're welcome, please swing it!" Li Shimin picked up a sunspot and snapped! It is placed on the chessboard at the very center of this point. Originally, there were nineteen horizontal and vertical lines on the Go board, and there were three hundred and sixty-one intersections, the intersection point was called "road", the most important road was called "star", a total of nine stars, and the star in the center had a name called "Tianyuan". Usually people who play big chess, the first step is not placed on the heavenly yuan. Why? There is such a saying: golden horn, silver edge, tin wax belly. Because the horn is the easiest to live, it can also become a trend, followed by the side, don't look at the belly place is large, first put there to get no cheap. Therefore, it is generally to go to the corner first, and then go to the side. Li Shimin played this game of chess unusually, snap! He placed the first sunspot here in Tianyuan. Rainbow Hair Gong took a look, huh?! He made a noise. Li Jing, Red Breeze Girl, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng take a look, hey! I was thinking: I had seen countless games of chess, and I had never seen the first one in the center. Li Shimin said in his heart: Hmm, I put this son on the Heavenly Yuan, just see how you turn your waist! At this time, the bearded man thought more. He thought that I had come here from overseas, that the land of the Central Plains was like the sea, that I was like a dragon, that the dragon entered the sea, that the waves were surging and that I wanted to sweep away the demons, settle the country, and save the people of the Central Plains from the sea of suffering. I heard that there is a Li Shimin here, maybe he is farther than me, his ability is still great, today I have the honor to try it with him, I will take this game of chess to meet my wishes. If I win him, this means that I have a share in the Central Plains, and if I can't win this young man in his twenties, I will go far away and fly high! When he saw this first move that Li Shimin took, it was really extraordinary, this move was on the chess spectrum, called "One Son Ding Zhongyuan". I thought that I had met an opponent today, how should I swing this white son? According to the average chess player, find a corner to put on it. But what he thought was that since it was a battle for the Central Plains, I would like to fight with him! Pick up a white child, look at the side of the black child on the heavenly yuan, and snap! That's it. This Li Shimin picked up a sunspot again, without thinking, snap! It was placed on the side of the white child. These two snap! syllable! syllable! You have a son, I have a son, you move, I style, swing the chess pieces open, and everyone around here is straight-eyed. Swing it, and the momentum will be clear. The bearded duke was passive at every turn, especially li Shimin in the southeast corner of the chessboard attacked very hard. If this corner of the white child survives, although it is inevitable that he will lose some of the whole game, but the chess situation is slow, if he cannot survive, it will be a fiasco. The more careful the bearded man became, the more he made a mistake, and in this corner he actually walked into a "knife handle five" chess shape. What is "knife handle five"? That is to say, in this small area occupied by Bai Zi, there are five empty seats connected together, like a knife handle. It turns out that how much territory the Go pipe occupies, there must be two eyes in it, which is a live chess piece, otherwise it is a dead chess. If the white side puts a white child in the center of the "knife handle", it is made into two eyes, and this corner chess piece is also alive If the black side puts a sunspot in this position, it will die. At this time, it was time for Li Shimin to let go. Rainbow Hair Gong looked at it, it was broken! I didn't expect Zhang Zhongjian to plant such a big heel today. I'm like an ancient! Who's that? Like Danju, he was the son of the ancient Yao King. It is said that this Go is Yao Wangxing's. This Danzhu wanted to learn the law of governing the country from King Yao, and King Yao said, "You can't rule the country" Danju said, "Daddy, I can rule the country, I don't believe I study a game of chess, let you see how my strategy is." King Yao said, "Try it!" This Dan zhu spent several years of hard work, and the research came out of the Dao. He said to King Yao, "Daddy, I've studied it well, and I'll come to life!" His father said, "Okay, let's put the plate together." "Father and son play chess, and it didn't take long for Dan Zhu's piece of chess to let King Yao die!" From here, King Yao saw that Danzhu was not a talent for governing the country, or how to pass the world to King Shun, but not to Danzhu! Today, Gong Qiu played this game of chess with Li Shimin, and his own chess piece was about to be killed, and he suddenly thought of this ancient legend, didn't I become the second Danzhu! Li Shimin was the first hand, he thought: Your whole game of chess is passive everywhere, I can't leave you with this small piece, let you sweat! He picked up a sunspot and went straight to the center of the "knife handle". Before this son had fallen, the bearded man squeezed his wrist, "Oh, hahaha, second son, worthy of your name gai Taiyuan, you look at this game of chess, I am beaten everywhere, walking into such a 'knife handle five,, you are the first to play chess, you are so little, I have no horns." Give me this horn! Li Shimin said: "Mr. Zhang, I should have killed your 'knife handle five', but when you say this, even if it is your first move, you yourself will finish here and point two live eyes, and I don't want this southeast chair corner!" "The snake beard listened, stood up and held his fist in a polite manner." Second son, when you say this, I thank you! Then he left his seat and knelt down and prostrated his head: "I thank the second son!" Li Shimin said in his heart, Blind! Just for such a "knife handle five", why kneel down and prostrate! "Oh, Mr. Zhang, you are too polite, please get up!" Li Shimin picked him up. The Bearded Duke then said, "Oh, Second Duke, here are my sister Zhang Chuchen, Mr. Li Jing, two Dao Chiefs, and Elder Mingde, several of you are witnesses, I concede defeat in this game of chess, this southeast horn is mine!" Li Shimin said: "Hey, didn't I say, even if you play chess first, this game of chess is even a chess game, why do you still want witnesses?" "Second son, I thank you here." This Li Shimin is talking about this game of chess, and the bearded prince is talking about his heart, alluding to the territory. He saw that Li Shimin had the ambition to help the people of the world, was wise and courageous, and was talented in the world, and that he would be able to unify Huayi and promote his power overseas in the future. I thought that I couldn't compete with him in the Central Plains, so I begged him to give me a corner of the southeast! Once Li Shimin seized the throne of the emperor, I said to him: Playing chess at the Tianlei Temple on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, and you can give me this southeast horn! He really said this truthfully, and later Li Shimin revived the Tang Dynasty. Duke Qiu returned to the southeast to establish a Jeolla state, and his sister Jang ChuChen established a Buyeo state. This is an afterthought, not to mention.

Besides, after playing this game of chess in the Tianlei Temple, the old monk could speak: "Haha, Mr. Zhang, I am right with you, this covers Taiyuan, how do you see?" "Oh, it's really worthy of the name, I Zhang Zhongjian is willing to admire." Li Shimin said: "Mr. Zhang is too praised. Everyone packed up the chessboard and sat down again for tea. Yuan Tiangang asked, "Second Son, what are you doing here today?" Li Shimin said, "Why are you here?" I'm holding back and tearing down the temple! But in front of such a few guests, how to say this! I had to deal with it: "Ah, I said just now that I have nothing to do today, and I deliberately watched the teacher father come." Yuan Tiangang smiled hesitantly: "Second son, what you said is not right," "Mr. Yuan, what do you say I came for?" "If you ask me, if I guess, I'll have to guess your heart, you're here for the pillars of this great hall!" The old monk next to him listened to this and wondered: For this beam and pillar, he wants to rebuild it, or he wants to demolish the temple, right? When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned, and said in his heart that this Daoist leader was really a bit immortal, how could he know my thoughts? Actually, this is not surprising. Li Shimin came to the Tianlei Temple anxiously for the matter of the wood of the Jinyang Palace, and only then did he play chess and talk, and he had to deal with it. He sat there, his eyes rushing into the hall, but he wanted to see if this purlin beam was as people said to be the size of the palace, and it was really enough to see it. That Yuan Tiangang has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time to see the calculations, and he is the best at observing the face and color. Looking at Li Shimin's eyes, I thought that these two princes must have something on their minds, and this matter was also related to the beams and pillars of this great hall. Yes, early this morning the eunuchs came to Taiyuan City, and the legend in the city was that they were going to repair the Jinyang Palace. Well, I've got to trick him all at once. I didn't expect this deception, but I really cheated Li Shimin. Li Shimin fixed his mind, picked his thumb and said, "Oh, Yuan Daochang, you are really a tall person, you guessed my heart at once, I really came to demolish the temple." "The old monk listened, demolished the temple?" The recitation: "Ah, Mimi Miya..." I was stunned and stuttered, and I forgot the word "Buddha". Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Master don't need to panic, let me give me a confession." All because of the current long live of the surrender, I want my father to build a Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan within three months, and the repair is not complete in three months, not to mention that my father's official position happens to be difficult to protect even the lives of our whole family. To build this palace, in our hedong, where to find such a big wood to go! The whole family is anxious about this. I suddenly remembered the main hall of the Thunder Temple on this day, specially asked you to help, can you temporarily demolish the temple, allow us to get through the difficulties, send people to the south to buy good materials in the next year, and will rebuild the temple for you and rebuild the Buddhist hall. When Li Shimin said this, Yuan Tiangang interjected: "Elder, I think it is important to rescue The Marquis of Taiyuan, and this temple will be demolished!" The old monk understood this, and his heart did not panic, and he clapped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Saving a person's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating massacre, and since the second son's family has a disaster, I will borrow this temple for the time being. You love how to dismantle how to dismantle, Rong repair the Jinyang Palace and then say it! Li Shimin listened to the old monk agree, knelt down and prostrated his head: "I thank you for my father!" The old monk hurriedly picked up Li Shimin and turned to the five celebrities and said, "Gentlemen, this Jinyang Palace project is urgent, please ask the five of you to help." All five of them said, "Don't worry, gongzi, I should go there." Li Shimin was about to kneel down and salute again, but was stopped by the bearded man: "Hey, second son, as soon as we meet, we will have a reason, and I must help you to the end." Li Shimin said thank you and resigned. In this way, the matter of repairing the Jinyang Palace was settled.

Li Shimin returned home and told his father about his arrival at the Tianlei Temple. Li Yuan was very happy to hear this, and immediately personally brought Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuanji to the Tianlei Temple to thank Elder Mingde and invited the five famous soldiers to their homes. After setting up a banquet in the front hall of the Hou Mansion, Li Yuan took the lamp and invited these five people to rest for Li Jing, Zhang Brothers and Sisters, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng. Li Yuan personally wrote a plaque with three big characters of "Five Famous Halls" and hung them on top of this flower hall. These five helped the Li family father and son every day to manage the construction of the Jinyang Palace. Li Yuan ordered the people to demolish the main hall of the Tianlei Temple, and then sent government officials to the cities and counties of hedong prefectures to invite the richest old wealth and merchants to Taiyuan. When these people arrived in Taiyuan, Li Shimin told them about the repair of the Jinyang Palace, explained the stakes, and asked them to give generously. They are really afraid that Li Yuan will fall and corrupt officials will take office, and some will donate money, some will donate materials, and some will produce craftsmen. With people and money, within a few days, this Jinyang Palace will start to break ground. Because Li Yuan, the Marquis of Taiyuan, usually won the hearts of the people, the migrant workers were willing to contribute. These five high-ranking people took the drawings of the Jinyang Palace sent by Yang Guang to help Li Yuan come up with advice. Yuan Tiangang said: "The construction period is urgent, we have to save trouble." On the surface, let this palace paint and paint, magnificent, and it doesn't matter if it is prolonged or not! The wood is all old, and there is oil outside, and no one can see how we can save trouble and do anything. Li Chunfeng said: "Wood makes the old can be, helpless section, this nail can be new." Why? We will repair the Jinyang Palace in three months, Yang Guang may not believe it, in case he orders someone to pull out the nails and check the tips, and see that there is rust on the nails, it will inevitably say that Hou Ye, your palace was built before. If you build a palace privately, you have the sin of deceiving the king, and you will have a hard time! As soon as he saw that the nail was new, he had nothing more to say. Everyone said, "That makes sense, just do it!" "According to their ideas, this project is progressing very quickly. Li Yuan is a fold on the left, and a fold on the right is delivered to the Beijing Division, which is nothing more than how much money this batch of workers used, how much money was used for the appropriation, and asked for money. At this time, Yang Guang had already gone to saiwai to hunt in the north. When The Ministry of Works Shangshu looked at Li Yuan's fold, he knew that the Xiu Jinyang Palace had the will of the emperor, and he didn't have to say, appropriation! In fact, even the donations of large households could not be used to repair this Jinyang Palace, and once the imperial court allocated funds, Li Yuan's silver could be pulled. Li Yuan ordered the people to secretly seal the excess silver money, not to get rich, but for the future needs. Later, the day he rebelled against Sui, the money was used. This is a postscript not a table. Speaking of this Jinyang Palace, due to the collective wisdom and efforts, it is still a few days away from the three-month deadline, but it is fully repaired. Inside and outside the palace, it has a new look. Li Yuan hurriedly ordered people to repair the book, and sent his close official to send it to Saiwai to report to Yang Guang, the emperor of the night.

At this time, Yang Guang, the Emperor of The Dark Emperor, had already led a large army from Yulin to the northeast, across the Jin River, and to the tooth tent of the Turkic Qimin Khan. In the palace prepared for him by the Khan, he received a folded copy from Li Yuan, the Marquis of Taiyuan, and unfolded it to see, strange! Was this Jinyang Palace really built in less than three months? He was suspicious and consulted with Cheng Xiangyu culture. Yu Wenhua and still that sentence, if the Jinyang Palace is not repaired, it will kill Li Yuan. Yang Guang said, "Li Yuan should be killed, but if Li Yuan is killed, Hedong will be in chaos." The Great Demon Kingdom of Wagang Mountain in Henan will definitely contact all kinds of anti-kings to rise up, and this matter is really difficult to handle. I think that after this northern hunt, I will not return to Chang'an, and immediately move to the eastern capital Luoyang in order to control the overall situation, so as not to be out of reach in Chang'an. You quickly sent out two wills, one to Dengzhou, Shandong to invite my uncle and patron Yang Lin, and the other to Beiping in Hebei to invite Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, to invite these two old princes to Taiyuan immediately, one to escort back to Dongdu, and the other to shock Hedong. Yu Wenhua said, "Or long live Mingcha, I will go and handle it." "Go down and send someone to preach the message."

When Luo Yi, the lord of Beiping, received this holy will, he was in trouble. Why? When he first surrendered to the Great Sui, he had a word with the Kai Emperor Tianzi, he was the self-proclaimed King of Beiping, and he did not listen to the announcement. This time the holy decree has a "please" word, can it go or not? He thought about it, yes, I discussed it with Luo Cheng. Ever since Luo Cheng had helped the Great Demon Kingdom break Old Yang Lin's one-word long snake array, he knew that this boy had many ideas and often consulted with him when there was something to do. He sent someone to summon Luo Cheng to explain the matter and asked, "Ah, do you think I am going or not?" Luo Cheng said, "Daddy, I see that you still have to go to taiyuan." Now, although it is said that the Great Demon Kingdom has contacted the world to rebel against the king, the more noisy it is, the more the two countries are in contention, the overall situation is undecided, and this Emperor Yang Guang really cannot offend him. Now we have to step on two boats and act according to the opportunity. Luo Yi said, "What you said is exactly what I wanted, and I will leave immediately." The two grandfathers and sons discussed well, and Luo Yi packed up and handed over all the official affairs of Beiping Province to the control of Luo Cheng, the Duke of Yanshan, and took 10,000 soldiers with him and went to Taiyuan City.

Not only a day later, Luo Yi and this group of people and horses were already close to the east gate of Taiyuan City. Suddenly, the smoke and dust rolled in the southeast and the flag fluttered, and it turned out that Yang Lin, the king of the mountain, also brought 10,000 relatives to Taiyuan. The two kings met each other and saluted each other. He also listened to the report of the soldiers that Daye Tianzi led an army of 500,000 people from Yanmen Pass to the south, and was about to reach the north gate of Taiyuan City. According to the courtesy of the monarch, the two kings could not advance into Taiyuan City, so they led these 20,000 horses and horses to detour north and go to the north gate to pay homage to the Son of Heaven. Fifty miles outside the North Gate, Yang Guang's men and horses also arrived. The second king dismounted, saw Yang Guang, and after the visit, all the ministers of culture and martial arts came to meet with the two old princes. Yang Lin, the patron king, took a look at it, among the ministers of culture and martial arts, there were not many old ministers who founded the country, Yang Su, the king of Yue, was killed, Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, surrendered to the Great Demon Kingdom, and The Shangzhu State Han Captured The Tiger fell ill and died not long ago, huh? Why is there still no one there? He stepped forward and asked. "Long live, why didn't the two old generals, He Ruobi and Tai Changqing Gao Ying, come?" When Yang Guang heard this, his face suddenly changed color. What's going on? It turned out that Gao Ying, the founding father of the Sui Dynasty and the old chancellor, was stripped of his post by emperor Tianzi due to Yang Guangjin's rumors. After Yang Guang usurped the throne, in order to win over the old courtiers, he also made Gao Ying the Prince of Taichangqing, in charge of the ceremonies of the Zongmiao Temple, and had no real power. This time in the north hunt, Gao Ying and He Ruobi all accompanied Wang to drive. In Yulin, Emperor Yang Guang set up a large tent of a thousand people, entertained 3,500 Turkic Qimin khans and tribal chieftains, and gave Qimin 200,000 pieces of brocade. Gao Ying and He Ruobi looked at each other differently, so they talked about it in private, saying that this was also too extravagant, and that the emperor was obsessed with sound and color, and that the Gang Ji was completely absent, and that it was not far from the fall of the country. Someone secretly reported these words to the Emperor. Yang Guang was furious, and immediately sent a decree to behead Gao Ying and He Ruobi. Poor two founding ministers, the british names of the first dynasty, actually succumbed to death. Today, when Yang Lin, the patron king, asked about the two of them, Yang Guang had to say, "Just because the two of them slandered the government and had no heavenly son, I have already sent a message to behead them." When Yang Lin heard this, he was taken aback, just about to have a seizure, and suppressed the fire in his heart, thinking that Yang Guang was leading an army of half a million! I have only 10,000 soldiers under me, and if I fall out, I will be begging for food. Yang Lin did not make a sound at the moment, and when the ministers saw that the ceremony was over, he said to Yang Guang privately: "Nephew, uncle has a kind word to you, such as today's turmoil, you should not kill the old minister anymore!" Yang Guangwei said that at the moment, the word was raised, and the army rushed to the north gate of Taiyuan City. It is necessary to know how Yang Guang, the Emperor of The Emperor, arrived at the Jinyang Palace and how to dispose of Li Yuan, the Marquis of Taiyuan, and explained it next time.
