Chapter 11 Jin Ancestral Hall
It hadn't rained in Jinyang for several days, and the crops were all depressed under the sun's exposure, and they couldn't straighten their waists. The rain that Shimin and Ziyi caught up with a few days ago was the only rain in recent times, and it fell in the mountains again, which was not beneficial to the crops. Deputy left-behind Wang Wei and Gao Junya asked Li Yuan to go to the Jin Temple to pray for rain, in order to ask for the blessing of the heavens to the people.
Li Yuan has been busy preparing for the army recently, and at this time, he didn't want to tear his face with the eyes and ears of these two emperors, so he had to accept it.
A few days later, Liu Shilong, the head of Jinyang Township, reported to Li Yuan that he found that Wang Wei and Gao Junya's personal soldiers had been in and out of the Jin Temple in the past few days, with strange expressions. Li Yuan knew that this day was still coming, and ordered Shimin to lead the recruits stationed in Xingguo Temple to prepare early.
On May 15, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan bathed and changed his clothes, preparing to pray for rain at the Jin Temple. Shimin had arranged an ambush at the Jinyang City Gate the night before, and arranged heavy troops near the Jin Ancestral Hall, led by Liu Hongji and Changsun Shunde respectively. He followed Li Yuan and never left.
Early this morning, Zixuan called Ziyi to get up quickly, saying that there would be a good show to watch today. Supporting Chunhua and Qiushi, the two slipped out of the back door. All the way to the Jin Ancestral Hall, while everyone had not yet arrived, pretended to be pilgrims, mixed into the Jin Ancestral Hall, hid under the incense case, and escaped the officers and soldiers who came to clear the scene.
After the officers and soldiers had gone away, they quietly came out and hid behind the statue in the middle of the main hall.
"Which immortal is this?" Ziyi pointed to the huge statue and asked Zixuan quietly.
"He's not an immortal, he's Tang Shuyu." Zixuan said, "He is the younger brother of King Zhou Cheng. Legend has it that when King Cheng and Tang Shuyu were young, they played with a paulownia leaf and said, 'I will use this to seal you.' It happened to be heard by Zhou Gong, who said that there was no joke since ancient times, so he really sealed Tang Shuyu in Jindi, which is now Taiyuan. This story is called 'Tongye Fengdi', and this Jin Temple was built to commemorate Tang Shuyu. ”
Ziyi nodded, "Oh, that's the case. So what are we going to see here today? ”
Zixuan was poking his head out to look forward, and replied, "Come and see how Wang Wei and Gao Junya died." ”
"Miss Zixuan is really knowledgeable and talented!" Zixuan was startled by Li Shimin's voice behind him, and with an "ah" sound, he sat on the ground, facing his high, expressionless face.
"It's just, how did the girl know that Wang Wei and Gao Junya would die today?" He squatted down, a pair of eagle falcon sharp eyes with a clear cold light, and looked at Zixuan as if she were her prey.
"What are you doing? Don't scare her! Ziyi saw that Li Shimin looked like he was about to eat Zixuan's posture, and hurriedly pulled him to his feet.
Zixuan patted his ass and stood up tremblingly, "The second son has praised it falsely, how can I have any knowledge...... Learned. It's just from elementary school...... Fortune telling, calculate his two lives...... Lives are short-lived. ”
"Oh? Can you figure out why the two of them died so soon? Shimin broke away from Ziyi's hand, stepped forward, and looked directly at Zixuan with sharp eyes.
Zixuan felt as if his eyes were about to pierce two holes in her body, "He...... The two of them ...... privately Fornication with the Turks. ”
"Fornication with the Turks?" Shimin thought this was a good excuse, "How to fornicate with the Turks?" ”
Zixuan felt that he was about to lose his breath under his forced gaze, "With **...... The inside should be combined with the outside, and the attack should be ...... Attack Jinyang. ”
"When?"
"Two days later, the ** army will arrive."
"What if it doesn't come?"
"The second son takes Zixuan's head." This Zixuan is sure, these histories are all in her heart, Li Yuan was surprisingly lucky, and arrested Wang and Gao in the name of fornicating with the Turks. ** But surprisingly cooperative, it really came two days later.
Li Shimin smiled meaningfully, looked back at Ziyi, she was at a loss, she knew she didn't know anything at a glance, and reached out to touch her cheek, "After watching the play, go back early." ”
With that, he turned and strode away, leaving the two sisters with stunned expressions.
About half an hour later, Li Yuan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by Wang Wei and Gao Junya, two deputy guards, and slowly walked into the Jin Ancestral Hall. At this time, Li Shimin was following behind them, calm and relaxed, as relaxed as shopping. Zixuan looked behind the statue, admiring, admiring, and admiring Li Shimin, he was only 18 years old, and he could be so calm at this tense moment, if such a person is not a big deal, it will be a hell.
"Zixuan, what are they doing?" Ziyi also poked her head out and asked.
"Pray for rain." Zixuan replied.
The tension behind the scenes did not affect the process of praying for rain. Li Yuan proceeded in an orderly manner according to the procedure of offering incense, offering knights, offering three animals, and offering prayers, until Li Yuan finished reading the prayers, closed them, and handed them to the master of ceremonies next to him. I only heard Gao Junya shouting: "Take down the anti-thief Li Yuan!" ”
A group of people drew their knives and took Li Yuan directly. I saw that the people of the world were raising and falling with knives, and between the lightning and flint, several people's heads had been taken. Throwing a sword at his father, Li Yuan's martial arts were also very good, he took the sword and repelled the siege of more than a dozen people side by side with his son. At this time, the eldest grandson Shunde, who was ambushed outside the Jin Ancestral Hall, rushed out with people and took down all those who besieged Li Yuan. Before Wang Wei and Gao Junya could react, the knife was already on their necks.
Shimin put away his knife and said in a loud voice: "Wang Wei and Gao Junya fornicated with the Turks, do you confess?" ”
Wang Wei had already accepted his fate, and Gao Junya struggled: "If you want to add to the crime, why bother? It's clear that your father and son rebelled against the court, but they came to frame us! ”
Li Yuan sneered: "Take it down." ”
Looking at the back of Li Yuan's father and son leaving, Zixuan behind the statue could see that he was divine, "This is too fast, right?" It turns out that many big things don't take long, and they can turn things around in a few minutes. ”
At this moment, a burst of fragrance suddenly wafted over his head, Zixuan felt that his whole body was weak, his eyelids fought, and he fell.
When Zixuan woke up, I don't know how long it took, he found himself lying behind the statue of the Jin Ancestral Hall, why did he fall asleep? Looking into the front hall, there were soldiers cleaning up the corpses left behind. It seems that it has been a while since the Li father and son's operation ended, and it is time to go back with his sister.
As soon as he turned around, Zixuan panicked! What about my sister? Why is my sister missing? This is too unusual, my sister has always been a reliable person, she will say where she goes, it is impossible to leave her sleeping self and leave without a sound. Gone with Li Shimin? Then it is even more impossible, Zixuan watched Li Shimin escort Wang Wei and Gao Junya away, and it is impossible to be with Ziyi. By the way, why did I fall asleep inexplicably just now? Could it be......
Zixuan hurriedly looked for it in the apse, no! went around to the front hall again, and ran into Li Jin, who was in charge of the aftermath. Li Jin looked at her in surprise, "Miss Zixuan, why are you here?" ”
Zixuan stepped forward and grabbed Li Jin's sleeve, "I don't have time to explain to you now, did you see my sister?" ”
"Nope." Li Jin was even more confused.
Zixuan's nose was sour, and a string of tears rolled down from his big black jewel-like eyes, "My sister is lost, please go and sue the second son." I know he's probably busy at this time, but I don't know who I can ask for help but him! ”
Li Jin saw her crying, and was anxious, "Okay, I'll go and tell the second son now." Miss Zixuan, then you can go with me. ”
"I'm not going. I'll look for it again, maybe it's around here. Zixuan wiped the tears from his face and turned out of the Jin Ancestral Hall.
"Sister! Sister! A thin little girl cried out in the streets of Jinyang, looking anxious and looking around, the only relative she had in this era.
My sister doesn't like history, she doesn't like it here at all, and her sister traveled to ancient times because she accompanied her to Tang Zhaoling, and it was she who brought her sister to this world 1400 years ago. She wanted to say sorry all the time, but she didn't have time. It wasn't until her sister and Li Shimin fell in love that her guilt weakened, although she had to be careful to prevent changing history in the future, but at least her sister was happy and no longer rejected coming to ancient times.
But what now, where is my sister? From childhood to adulthood, it was her sister with a strong personality who was protecting her, and if anyone bullied her, her sister would definitely make the other party unable to eat and walk around. But now, in this ancient period, my sister is alone, who will protect my sister? She felt more worried than ever. What would her sister do if she was lost in this ancient world? How can she be worthy of her dead grandmother, uncle, and aunt? How does she explain to her parents who are still in the modern age? How did she live up to her conscience?
The sky gradually darkened, and the large black clouds quietly moved overhead at some point. Zi Xuan raised her head, the sky seemed to be painted with heavy ink, and a big drop of water fell on Zi Xuan's face, rolling down her cheeks with her tears. After a while, another drop came, and it rained heavily. I don't know if God heard Li Yuan's prayer, or sympathized with Zixuan for losing his sister.
After a while, the people on the street disappeared without a trace, as if they had been swept away by the heavy rain. Leaving Zixuan alone, he was drenched like a chicken in soup, and he stubbornly shouted: "Sister! Sister! ”
At the gate of Jinyang City, Li Shimin brought people to come in the rain, and Liu Hongji hurriedly came to meet in front of the horse.
"General Liu, can someone go out of the city today?" Li Shimin asked.
Liu Hongji said: "Today's big thing, without the instructions of the second son, his subordinates dare not let anyone out of the city." ”
Shimin turned back to Li Jin and said, "It seems that Ziyi is still in Jinyang City, let me search door to door, and I will definitely find someone!" ”
Zixuan felt like a lonely ghost floating on the street, she called out to her sister one after another, and only the heavy rain responded to her. Gradually, the strength in his body seemed to be washed away by the rain, and he fell weakly on the side of the street. In a daze, she felt that her body was light, as if someone had picked her up, and then she passed out.
When she woke up again, she found herself in a quaint room, like an inn. My throat hurts, my body is cold, I think I have a cold.
