Chapter 121: Pillow Wind
On this day, Li Yuan heard that Zhang Jieyu had not eaten or drunk for two days and was just crying, so he hurried over to see her. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Jieyu described as haggard, her lips were as pale as paper, and Li Yuan hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai?" Why torture yourself so much? ”
Zhang Jieyu hid her face and sobbed in a low voice, but did not answer.
"Oh, what's the matter with Concubine Ai, tell me about it, and I will definitely make the decision for you." Li Yuan's brows furrowed.
Zhang Jieyu's tears fluttered down like pearls with broken threads, "Concubine...... The concubine didn't dare to say it. ”
Li Yuan was even more anxious, "What don't you dare to say, is there anyone else in this world who dares to bully my concubine?" ”
Zhang Jieyu said aggrievedly: "The concubine doesn't want to make a rift between His Majesty's father and son because of herself. ”
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, "You mean my son bullied you?" What the hell is going on, tell me! ”
"That is, the ten acres of fertile land that His Majesty gave to the concubine's father a few days ago...... By...... was taken away by the King of Qin and rewarded to Li Shentong instead. Zhang Jieyu cried and threw herself into Li Yuan's arms.
"Shimin? He...... Why did he do it? Li Yuan asked puzzled.
Zhang Jieyu cried and said: "Your Majesty sent me and Sister Concubine De to Luoyang to receive the treasures, and the King of Qin decided that my sisters were from low backgrounds, so they must be greedy people. He felt that our sisters were just going to collect money, guarding us everywhere, and not letting us look at the treasures at all, my sisters couldn't stand his anger, so they hurriedly returned to Chang'an, but they didn't expect to offend King Qin like this.
This time, my father took His Majesty's edict to ask for land, but Li Shentong arrogantly said that this land was awarded to him by the King of Qin for his military merits, and he said that His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that my father was just a relative, and he did not have the merit of size, and he was not qualified to ask for this land. ”
Li Yuan asked, "Shimin, did he really say that?" ”
"Your Majesty xià ......" Zhang Jieyu did not answer, but hugged Li Yuan's waist with rain.
Li Yuan was already trembling with anger when he heard this, "Someone! Go to the Qin Palace, and invite His Royal Highness the King of Qin into the palace! ”
Shimin didn't know why his father was so anxious to summon him to the palace, but he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and hurried to the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Yuan holding his hands with his back to him.
Shimin stepped forward and saluted: "The son has seen his father, but I don't know why my father urgently summoned his son. ”
Li Yuan turned around and slapped it fiercely on the imperial case with one hand, "Shimin, you have a lot of credit now, you can not take me seriously!" ”
The people of the world knelt on the ground in fear, "Why did my father say this, my son never meant it." ”
"Then why do you think my edict is not as good as your warrant?" Li Yuan said angrily.
"This ...... How is this possible, father, what are you talking about? "This is not a small crime," Shimin asked in a panic.
Li Yuan's eyes widened, and his eyebrows raised one by one, "What is it?" I have clearly issued an edict and given that piece of land to Zhang Jieyu's father, so why did Li Shentong occupy that piece of land with your warrant? What else are you talking about is because of military exploits, I see that you have won a few battles, and you can't find the north anymore! ”
As soon as the people heard it, they knew that it was Zhang Jieyu who reversed right and wrong and blew the pillow wind, but now Li Yuan was angry and couldn't distinguish it, so he had to say honestly: "Father, the son will never dare to be proud of his achievements." Erchen didn't know that his father gave that piece of land to Jieyu's father, and now that Erchen knows what his father meant, I will immediately ask Li Shentong to hand over the land to him. Please calm your anger! ”
Li Yuan snorted, "You can do it yourself, I don't want anything like this to happen again." ”
"Yes." Shimin replied respectfully.
Li Yuan waved his sleeves, "You go down!" ”
Shimin walked into the Literature Museum in a depressed mood, he had been urgently summoned to the palace when he was discussing books and literature with the scholars in the Literature Museum, and he also knew that these scholars were worried, so he came back.
"Second Highness, what happened to make the emperor summon you into the palace so urgently?" Fang Xuanling asked with concern.
Shimin sighed and told them everything that had happened.
Fang Xuanling said: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but I had to explain it clearly to the emperor." ”
Du Ruhui disagreed, "Second Highness, this matter is a wake-up call for you, that Zhang Jieyu is the emperor's favorite concubine, but she can't be offended, and the pillow wind is very strong." ”
"In addition to this, there is one more thing that Second Highness needs to watch out for." The eldest grandson Wuji touched his hooked nose and said, "Since the first battle in Luoyang, the merits of the Second Highness have been too great, whether it is the emperor, the crown prince, or the king of Qi, they will feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts. We need to keep a low profile in the future. ”
Shimin nodded. What the eldest grandson Wuji thought of was not that others couldn't think of it, but that others didn't dare to say it, after all, people are fathers and sons, and if anyone says this to their faces, they will be suspected of separating their relatives. Only the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji is here, he is Li Shimin's brother-in-law and a close relative, and his identity determines that he must tie his fate to Li Shimin, so there are some things that only he can say, and some things that only he can take the initiative to do. This is also the reason why he played a crucial role in the subsequent battle for succession.
Shimin thought that Zhang Jieyu's incident was just accidental, and it would be nothing after it passed, but he didn't expect that a wave would not be settled, and a wave would rise again......
Concubine Yin De's birthday arrived, and Li Yuan decided to make a big deal to show his favor.
The birthday banquet is selected to be held in the Linhu Palace, the Linhu Palace stands by the water, the palace pavilion is open, the top of the palace hangs down a hundred Qian yarn palace lamps, the beautiful silk curtain is pendant with pearls, embroidered with gold and silver threads meandering to the ground, and the palace maid surrounded by pearls and emeralds holds all kinds of delicacies in her hands. The blue eaves and golden diaphragm reflect the streamer, and at night, the light shadow and the little starlight reflected in the water reflect each other, blurry and swaying, just like Qionglou Yuyu, beautiful. The bell music in the palace is melodious, like a pleasant ear, luminous cup, glass cup, gold and jade plate, full of bright and beautiful palace concubines, of course, the prince, the king of Qin, the king of Qi and their concubines are also invited.
At the banquet, everyone pushed their cups and changed their glasses, and congratulated Concubine Yin De on her birthday, so happy. At this time, it was the turn of King Shimin of Qin to toast, but everyone found that he was losing his mind, his face was depressed, and there were tears shining in his eyes. ”
Shimin Fang came back to his senses, and Li Yuan had already seen it, "Shimin, what are you crying about?" ”
Shimin had to tell the truth: "Father, the son just remembered Empress Taimu (author's note: Li Yuanyuan with Dou, Jiancheng, Shimin, Yuanji's biological mother), remembered that she died prematurely, and failed to see her father reigning in the world, nor did she enjoy the glory of the Tang Dynasty." Therefore, sorrow came from it, and he couldn't help shedding tears, and asked his father to forgive his sins. ”R1152
