Chapter Seventy-Six: True Summer Doesn't Regret (End)
There is no doubt that Li Shimin's persuasion of his brother Li Jiancheng is very unsmooth, Li Jiancheng is similar to Li Yuan, they are more than enough, and they are not enough, which is very different from Li Shimin's character, but at this time their relationship is still very good, although Li Jiancheng is seriously opposed, but he also promised to keep it a secret for his younger brother and never spread it.
However, who can really predict what is happening in the world? lost the east corner of the mulberry harvest, but Li Shimin did not expect that his third sister Li Xiuning would become a staunch supporter of him, and had decided to go to Jinyang with Princess Dongming to meet his father with Princess Dongming to discuss the purchase of weapons. Because this matter is also a matter that cannot be delayed, Li Shimin, who has completed the task of escorting the return of the Li family, immediately took Li Xiuning and the escort army to embark on the journey to Taiyuan with the people of the Dongming faction.
And the subsequent development of events did not surprise Shi Qingyi and the old lady at all. Soon, Li Yuan hoarded weapons privately, with bad intentions and was therefore arrested by his deputy Gao Junya, Wang Wei The news spread from Taiyuan to Hedong, and for a while, the entire Li family was panicked, after all, rebellion is a big crime, not to mention, Gao Junya and others have long had a dirty relationship with Li Yuan, that is, Li Yuan's innocence will be smeared black, not to mention that at this time, the human and material evidence are all there, and it is light not to fall into the well.
Li Shimin also immediately made a decision, and decided to launch at this time to rescue his father, although his preparation was still very insufficient, and the number of people who could command was only hundreds, but he couldn't take care of it, how could Li Shimin watch his father in danger. Fortunately, just when Li Shimin was about to launch, the pardon of the Son of Heaven arrived, there is no doubt that Yang Guang was still very relieved about his cousin, so he pardoned Li Yuan's sins and continued to appoint him to stay in Taiyuan.
Although there were many accidents on the way, Li Yuan and the Dongming faction finally reached an agreement, and the Dongming faction provided high-quality weapons for a long time, the first is to be able to equip 5,000 people's war knives, and Li Shimin was also invited by Princess Dongming, and Li Xiuning and his quasi-brother-in-law Chai Shao went to the East China Sea to meet Mrs. Dongming, and discussed the details of the purchase of weapons in detail again, they came from Taiyuan in a hurry, passed by Hedong City again and took a short rest before leaving quickly, only to have a short conversation with the old lady, Aunt Yuwen, and Shi Qingyi only met a few times, and did not say a word.
"Are you going to fight the idea of the Dongming faction again?" Shi Qingyi said in his heart, no martial arts family's butt is clean, and Li Yuan, although this incident is an emergency measure, but in the past, although at this moment, the role that these things can play is limited, but it is always better than nothing, and being able to know how many weapons other forces have purchased from the Dongming faction will also be of great help in the future, perhaps, this is Li Shimin's real purpose. However, Shi Qingyi will not go to join in the fun, what should she do when she sees Mrs. Dongming, after all, that is her teacher, Yue Shan's daughter!
Recalling my past, the willows are still around, knowing that when I come, the snow and rain are falling, the road is repeated, the hunger and thirst are loaded, my heart is sad, I don't know that I am sad! - "Picking Rose"
During this period of time, Shi Qingyi would always think of the deceased Mrs. Dou, her "mother-in-law", the flying figure she showed in her last moments, and the forbidden technique she used at the end, "Blood Flame Burning Boiling", remembering her words, hoping that she could take care of the aging old lady and her young and ignorant children. And this qiē is because the old lady's limit is approaching. Although the old lady deliberately concealed it, she could deceive many ordinary people, but she would never hide the eyes of Shi Qingyi, who asked her for peace every day, and the old lady had been immersed for too long, even if Shi Qingyi was proficient in medical skills, she could not continue the old lady's condition, and the old lady was running out.
The early summer sunshine is very good for the old lady's body, so the old lady often orders the servants to support their bodies under the big locust tree in their yard, so as to enjoy the warm climate, the big locust tree in the old lady's yard is luxuriant, and at this time, Shi Qingyi stood under the tree, pushing and pulling the chair where the old lady was sitting, as if shaking the cradle of a child, and the old lady was also resting comfortably in this slow shaking. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west and the temperature became cold again that the old lady sighed and opened her cloudy eyes.
The locust tree is extremely tall, although it is still early summer at this time, it is already full of leaves, and it looks vibrant, but in the eyes of the old lady, she still can't help but sigh: "How similar is a person's life to this leaf, in autumn, it will finally fall and return to the soil." "yes, in the fall, we're all the same."
Shi Qingyi said that although she was sad, but with the departure of Bi Xiuxin, Mrs. Dou and other familiar old people, Shi Qingyi had already realized after all, or antibodies, so although the words she said were sad, her tone was extremely indifferent, the old lady glanced back at her, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Silly child, your leaf is blooming luxuriantly, and it is about to fall, it's still early!" The two talked and laughed along the topic of life and death, even the old lady didn't seem to regard herself as the protagonist of the topic, it seemed that death was just a long sleep.
"Tsing Yi, you say, if I die, how about cremating my body?" "I don't think it's possible, everyone including the eldest brother will be against it." "Oh, so what does Tsing Yi mean?" "This is your Li family's family matter, Tsing Yi is an outsider, so it's inconvenient to interfere." "Sure enough!" The old lady's face showed a deep tiredness: "Even after many years, you still have never considered this place your home!" "Between the eyebrows, there is an endless depression.
Shi Qingyi nudged the rocking chair and said nothing, in fact, she had already regarded this home as her own home, no matter how slow her reaction was, during these years, the grievances and grievances with the Li family, and the bricks and tiles of the Li family's mansion in Luoyang City have left a deep imprint in Shi Qingyi's mind, however, home is not only a bare mansion, but also in it, there are people who care for you. And soon, after the old lady went west, no one in the entire Li family would enter her heart.
As the weather warms, the summer time is gradually passing, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning brothers and sisters are also on the way from Taiyuan to the East China Sea, constantly busy in the rush, although passing by Hedong, but always hurrying by, and then left, Li Xiuning is thinking about his grandmother, proposed to stay in Hedong for a few days, but was forced back by the old lady, let her try to help her second brother, don't waste time here, Li Xiuning can't, so she has to hurry on the road, and she won't think that this short meeting several times, It will become the last memory of the old lady in her memory, and Li Xiuning herself will also travel all over the country in the years to come, becoming an outstanding diplomat and spy leader in the cause of the Li family's unification of the world.
So, in that early summer solstice, the time when Xia Cicada sang for the first time, the old lady Dugu, the fourth daughter of Dugu Xin, the sister of the Empress Wenwen of Sui, and the Empress Dowager Yuanzhen of the Li Tang Dynasty, left this world peacefully. The Li family all wore linen and filial piety for him. The monks of the most famous monastery in Hedong were also invited by the Li family to practice, and for several days, Shi Qingyi has been guarding in the mourning hall until the end of Yiqiē, the old lady's wish to be cremated was finally not realized, and her body was finally sent to the ancestral grave of the Li family, and was buried with her husband, Li Yuan's father, Li Ji.
Without the care and protection of the old lady, Shi Qingyi is about to say goodbye to the Li family, even if the folk customs are open at this time, and the woman is not in the deep boudoir like later generations, but the Li family is a royal family, so in terms of rules, it is still desperate to emulate those families who have been inherited for a long time, and the control of female dependents is also extremely strict, and because of the connivance of the old lady, Shi Qingyi's behavior is also quite lawless, which makes many Li family daughters envious, jealous and hateful, which is the main thing of the Li family's mansion at this time, Li Yuan's flat wife, Aunt Yuwen in Shi Qingyi's mouth is also quite dissatisfied with Shi Qingyi, and now that she has lost the old lady's backer, Aunt Yuwen immediately came to inform Shi Qingyi, and is about to send her grandmother to teach Shi Qingyi's etiquette and behavior, so that she can obediently be the competent daughter-in-law of the Li family.
On the first day, Shi Qingyi agreed, just hoping to postpone it for a day to prepare, Yuwen saw Shi Qingyi obediently agreed to be happy, so she followed Shi Qingyi's wishes, but the next day, when she took people to the courtyard where Shi Qingyi was located again, she found that the building was empty, and Shi Qingyi had already left Li's house at night. Only left a letter, informing him that he was about to return to Luoyang and defect to his elder brother Wuji, the eldest grandson in Luoyang. Aunt Yuwen picked up the letter, only to find that under the letter, there was a green bracelet, and this bracelet, Aunt Yuwen was naturally no stranger, at that time it was the late Mrs. Dou's favorite thing during her lifetime, and at the same time, it was also a gift from Mrs. Dou to her daughter-in-law when Shi Qingyi married into the Li family......
In May, Li Yuan suddenly arrested his lieutenants Gao Junya, Wang Wei and a group of others, accused of colluding with the Turks and plotting against them, and then united with the Turks, raised troops in Jinyang, and marched all the way to Chang'an...... Thus, it was in the thirteenth year of this great cause that the huge storm of the peasant war at the end of the Sui Dynasty reached its peak.
At the foot of Taihang Mountain, a woman is walking comfortably in the lonely road in the mountains, her direction has always been towards the place where the sun rises, obviously, the woman wants to cross the Taihang Mountains, and then reach the Hebei Great Plain, the road between the mountains is rugged, and even apes are difficult to climb in many places, but the woman is walking on the ground, obviously with peerless martial arts. The speed of the woman's steps is not fast, and she doesn't know how long it will take to reach her destination at this speed, but the woman always has an indifferent expression on her face, and she doesn't seem to care about these things. Yes, the woman doesn't care, because Hebei is just her whim, the woman has nothing to want to go to, nor anything she wants to do, her state of mind is like the cold temperature in the mountains, even if the outside world at this time is the harsh summer season, but for the woman, the summer has passed......
