King Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty had already made up his mind. It would be useless to persuade him, so he had no choice but to start with the Dou family!
Li Yuan has always respected the Dou family and attached great importance to him.
If there is anyone in the world who can persuade Li Yuan, it is only Dou!
As for Princess Wan, Princess Xue, Li Zhiyun and others, they can only listen silently. They do not have the strength, ability, background and qualifications to participate in such a big event. Of course, they will not be taken seriously if they speak out!
"You have grown up, and you all have your own ideas. Our family is full of heroes, and it's not just words. They all make sense. They just have different ideas. Why argue?"
The elegant Dou family looked around at everyone present with a smile, and finally looked at brother Li Jiancheng and said calmly.
The quarrel between two sons, the conflict between father and son, the crisis in Tang Dynasty, etc. are all difficult to shake Dou's heart. It seems that nothing can shake Dou's heart. She will always be so calm and indifferent, and the real mountain will collapse without changing.
The most typical thing is that even if Li Shimin and Li Yuanba died, even if Jinhu was defeated, even if Dongdu was besieged, the Dou family seemed to always be so calm.
Just like the most traditional housewife, she only knows about small family matters and trivial matters, and knows nothing about the rest. She is naturally fearless when she is ignorant, and she is naturally calm when she is fearless.
"Um?!"
Including Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, etc., everyone present was stunned and could not react for a moment.
Mr. Dou still smiled and said calmly: "The solution is easy. Since everyone has their own positions and ideas, why not just do it individually? We are all a family, so what is there to fight about?"
"Queen mother?"
Li Jiancheng looked confused and shouted again anxiously and confusedly. Others had similar reactions.
Of course, Dou responded without hesitation: "Since my king wants to stick to it, then stick to it. Why go against your will? Since Jiancheng is optimistic about Li Guo, then he will join Li Guo. Why hesitate? Since Yuan Ji is optimistic about Sui Dynasty, then he will join Li Guo.
Sui Dynasty, why bother?"
"this……"
This time not only Li Jiancheng and others were dumbfounded, but even Li Yuan was a little confused and even resisted!
Dou's eyes were calm and Li Yuan looked at each other, and asked: "Three caves of cunning rabbits! If the eldest son and the third son stay, it won't have much effect. It's better to let them go, lest our clan be taken away in one pot and the incense of the Li family is cut off.
Wouldn't it be good for your husband to be firm in his true feelings and avoid suffering?"
"Right……"
Li Yuan opened his mouth in confusion and nodded in response.
In the past few months, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's attitude has been very obvious, and they have argued countless times. Staying here will only add to the trouble. It is better to stay out of sight and leave some incense to the Li family, which will serve multiple purposes!
Originally, Li Yuanji had always been biased towards and supportive of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and the two had an excellent relationship. However, since Li Shimin's death, Li Yuanji became restless and gradually became antagonistic to Li Jiancheng!
It's very simple. Without Li Shimin, Li Yuanji is the only one who can compare with Li Jiancheng. The other brothers are either mediocre or young.
"What if the third brother is kidnapped by the Sui army and used to threaten our army?" Li Jiancheng's mind suddenly changed and he asked worriedly.
Li Jiancheng sneered rather angrily and reminded: "Brother should be worried about King Li, right?"
Mrs. Dou's smile was as bright as a flower, and she smiled as if she were looking at two children: "You are all adults. You have your own path, your own choices, and you are responsible for the results. If you are still worried about this, do you still support it? If you drag the Li family with you again,
Wouldn't that be worse?"
Of course, there were some things that Mr. Dou did not say clearly.
Both sons want to persuade Tang Wang Li Yuan to surrender to the side they support. They must want to strengthen their identity, status, role and merit, etc. There is no need to play with such little tricks!
When the young eagle grows up, it has to fly on its own. Parents and family can protect it for a while, but they cannot protect it for a lifetime.
"Okay! That's it!"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he looked at the two sons seriously and said.
Dou's idea really touched Li Yuan's heart, but Li Yuan had not realized it clearly before!
"..."
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked at each other and were silent for a while.
One is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince second only to the crown prince, leaving like this? Is it worth it?
Of course, humans are not grass and trees, so how can we be ruthless?
They still have more or less family ties and filial piety, and they are reluctant to leave their parents and family behind and leave alone.
However, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are both smart people. They know that their mother rarely speaks out, and if she does, their father will basically not object. It is useless to say more now!
…
To the west of Luoyang, the eastern capital, is the military camp of the Sui army.
In the past few days, the Sui army had suspended its offensive, but was mobilizing all its troops and generals to gather military strength. General Qu, the commander-in-chief of Yin who was originally stationed in the southeast of Luoyang, also led his army to leave and retreat to Pingjin and Yique Pass.
"Your Majesty! Duke Qi of the Tang Dynasty (Li Yuanji) has secretly contacted us and wants to defect to us immediately, and he can take away 30,000 cavalry and 100,000 Tang troops!"
While King Xuanxiang and others were paying close attention to and discussing the war situation, a civil servant came to report and ask for instructions.
"Oh? What about Tang Jun?"
Sui Jun's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed. Gao Qiao responded quickly, pointed to the key point, and asked excitedly.
"It's just the personal behavior of Duke Qi of the Tang Dynasty..."
The civil servant responsible for contacting Li Yuanji explained rather uneasily. After a pause, he quickly added:
"It is said that they are brothers Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng. They argued too much recently and were expelled by the King of Tang in anger. They went their separate ways..."
"call……"
"There is only the so-called Duke of Qi and an army of hundreds of thousands..."
There was a sound of exhalation, and most of the people present clearly showed disappointment. Yuguluo, the king of heaven, even shook his head and spat.
Brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji each support one side and have been arguing for a long time. It is not a secret and is not difficult to detect.
"It's a pity. If Li Jiancheng had been better, Li Yuanji..."
Gao Jiong shook his head and sighed with regret and disappointment. Before he finished speaking, he was obviously not satisfied with Li Yuanji.
Without his status as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji personally could not attract much interest from Gao Jiong.
In Gao Jong's view, Li Yuanji was a cruel, violent, fierce and arrogant man. He was a fierce general, but he was not useful. He was a typical piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.
"Let Li Yuanji lead the army to support King Zhenwu. If he can capture Hangu Pass, I recommend him to be the Duke of Qi..."
After thinking for a while, Gao Jiao shook his head slightly and ordered.
Pei Yuanqing stared and asked: "Let Li Yuanji attack Hangu Pass? This..."
"Apart from this, is there anything else that stands out about him? Let him lead the army to attack the Eastern Capital, or should he attack the Li army? Is it a waste to withdraw to the Western Capital?"
Gao Jiong asked calmly as if explaining the facts, and quickly explained: "At any rate, I will lead an army of hundreds of thousands to use some residual heat. Maybe there will be a surprise! Even if the Detachment of Women has the heart to attack, it can still shake the morale of the army.
, the impact is not small, better than nothing!”
"..."
Pei Yuanqing opened his mouth and looked at Gao Jiong blankly, silent.
I secretly mourned for Li Yuanji in my heart... (To be continued.) 8
