Pei Lin said to Li Yuan worriedly: "Your Majesty, that Li Mi was the leader of the anti-Sui generation of alliances, and his prestige in Henan and Shandong was extremely high. ”

Li Yuan sneered: "Li Mi is just a piece of chicken ribs in Datang, it's a pity to abandon it, and it's useless to keep it." If he doesn't agree, it will seem stingy, and if he really betrays the Tang Dynasty, we can get rid of him as soon as possible. ”

Pei Lian's small eyes lit up, "Does the emperor want to do the trick?" ”

Li Yuan said: "Exactly." ”

"The emperor is sage, and the ministers are ashamed." Pei Lin continued to pat himself on the back.

On December 1, Li Yuan personally set up a banquet for Li Mi and others. Li Mi thought that he could regroup and make a comeback this time. But unexpectedly, halfway through, Li Yuan used the excuse to transfer half of Li Mi's troops, and ordered Li Mi to return to Beijing immediately, saying that there was another task for him. At this time, Li Mi has already come to Chousang, how can he be willing? Forced to be helpless, although Li Mi did not arrive in Liyang, he had to openly disobey the anti-Tang Dynasty in advance, and fell into the trap set by Li Yuan in advance, and died with Wang Bodang and others in Bear's Ears Mountain.

Li Yuan sent Li Mi's head to Liyang to test his heart. Li Shiyun was grief-stricken and bowed and wept for a long time. He sent a letter to Li Yuan, to the effect that after the Battle of Bishan, many old Wagang departments returned to the Tang Dynasty one after another, just like a hundred rivers entering the sea, and Li Mi returned to the Tang Dynasty and opposed the Tang Dynasty, which was really a move that did not understand the current affairs. But Li Mi is my old master after all, and I hope to give me Li Mi's body and allow me to bury my old master.

When Li Yuan saw Li Shiyun's letter, he not only thought it was sad, but said: "Li Shiyun lives up to Li Mi today. He will not fail me in the future. So he ordered Li Mi's body to be transported to Liyang.

Li Shiyun sewed Li Mi's head and the corpse, and he was full of filial piety and three armies, and buried Li Mi in the place five miles south of Liyang Mountain with the gift of the monarch, the tomb was seven feet high, and he wept until he vomited blood.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve again. This year, Ziyi has completely reversed the passive situation and became the housewife as the princess of Qi, Zhang Luo gave the Li Mansion lanterns and purchased New Year's goods.

Almost busy, Guerlain said, "Princess, take a rest." ”

Ziyi said: "I'm really tired. It's nothing. The main reason is that he is tired, so he endures humiliation and humiliation to please Li Yuanji, and I don't know when it will be a head. ”

Guerlain persuaded: "Princess, there will always be opportunities. God will always open his eyes. ”

this year. As the "God of War" of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin naturally wanted to enter the palace with his father and the emperor to celebrate the New Year. Wan Guifei is grateful for the succession. Let the people of the world also bring Wei Jue into the palace, so that Concubine Wei can also see her child, Wei Jue is naturally grateful. The rest of the people in the Qin Palace's mansion celebrated the New Year together. Concubine Yang was in charge, but her health has not been good after giving birth, so Zixuan helped her Zhang Luo, and Li Jin and his wife, Qihua and Aunt Wei were also busy.

It's lively, but as soon as the time passed, Yang Huaijun coaxed Li Ke to go to bed early, Aunt Wei couldn't stay up late when she was old, Li Jin and his wife went back to their room, and I went, leaving Zixuan alone to feel a little lonely. But fortunately, I finally knew my sister's whereabouts, so I returned to Yilan Palace, took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter to Ziyi.

Just as he was about to put down his pen, he only heard someone walking outside the door, Zixuan was startled, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who?" ”

"Scaring you?" A clear voice sounded, and then the door was pushed open, and the long and vigorous figure came by stepping on the moonlight, and the light silver moonlight reflected a small light and shadow around him, and the peerless face was so perfect that it was a little unreal.

Zixuan was both surprised and delighted, "Second Highness, aren't you in the palace?" How did you get back? ”

Shimin hugged her lightly, "I think you think it matters, so I'm back." ”

Zixuan's heart warmed, she had been insecure in ancient times, she lived carefully, as if she was alone groping her way forward in the dark. And at this moment, a helpless heart leaning on his warm chest is a little stable, can she rely on him? No, she can't love him!

Zixuan slowly pulled out, "Why is the emperor willing to let you come back?" ”

Shimin smiled lazily: "I sneaked out, and I have to go back in a while." He glanced at the pen and paper on the bookcase and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I want to write a letter to my sister, Ming'er, you can send someone to help me send it to Liyang." Zixuan said.

"Okay." Shimin's face was cloudy, and after only a moment, he calmed down and put on a smile again, "I see that you have been practicing calligraphy recently, this is my gift to you this year, do you like it or not?" ”

"You sneaked back to give me this?" Zi Xuan took the slender variegated intarsia rhinoceros horn box, opened it and saw that it was a brush, the barrel was made of jade, the emerald was a fine glass emerald, clear like a pool of clear water, Zi Xuan couldn't help but admire, "It's so beautiful!" ”

"Did you have a gift for me this year?" Shimin looked at her with a straight face, feigned anger.

Zixuan smiled: "Ready!" You weren't happy if you didn't prepare last year, and if you didn't prepare this year, you won't scold me? ”

Zixuan shyly took out a sachet from his sleeve. Last year, Jiancheng and Shimin gave her gifts, but she didn't prepare gifts for them, and she felt very rude, so she prepared early this year. What was built was her carefully selected girdle, which was very valuable, to show her gratitude and guilt; What was given to the people was the sachet she embroidered with her own hands, embroidered with two hearts shot by Cupid's arrow, representing her deep but indescribable love.

Shimin took the sachet and looked at it, "You embroidered it yourself?" What is this pattern? ”

"Well, it's two peaches." Zixuan knew that he didn't understand before he dared to embroider, if he embroidered two mandarin ducks, wouldn't he understand everything, this is the best, he can't understand it, but she herself knows.

Shimin pondered for a long time, "Then why did you use an arrow to pierce it?" ”

Zixuan ed.compiled: "In my hometown, this is the most auspicious pattern, and the arrow means that this year is smooth and smooth, like an arrow through all obstacles, to obtain happiness; The peach symbolizes that this year has escaped all disasters and is safe. ”

"Yes, good meaning." Shimin hung the sachet on his waist, "I gave you a pen, you can try it and see if it is comfortable to use." ”

"Okay." Zixuan dipped the jade pen in ink and wrote a few words.

For a while, Zixuan has been learning to recognize traditional Chinese characters and calligraphy, although she learned calligraphy for a while when she was young, but compared with people in this era, she is obviously much worse at writing. Shimin couldn't look at it, and said with a smile: "This is also called a word you wrote?" ”

Zixuan glanced at him, and said in his heart, who can compare with you? Tang Taizong is also a generation of calligraphers, especially good at "flying white" style, Zhenguan years, he wrote a few words to his subordinates, ministers to break the head of the fight.

Shimin stood behind her, holding the bookcase with his left hand and holding her hand with his right hand, "I'll teach you." ”

Zixuan was encircled by him like this, she could hear his powerful heartbeat, she could feel his warm breath spitting in her ears, and bursts of red glow flew over her face, how could she still have the heart to practice calligraphy, and stammered: "...... Let's practice again in the future, it's been a long time since you came out, go back quickly, don't ...... lest the emperor not find you. ”

"Okay." Shimin quickly kissed her on the cheek and paced out the door.

Zixuan touched the cheek that had been kissed by him, and his heart was like a sweet spring gushing.

After that, Shimin often came to teach Zixuan to write. With such a calligrapher to teach, Zixuan made rapid progress, and in half a year, the characters were already written well, and they were somewhat similar to the characters of Shimin. It's not surprising who teaches like whom!

In the past six months, a lot of major events have happened in the world. In April of the second year of Wude, Wang Shichong forced Yang Dong to take the throne, ascended the throne and became the emperor, changed the name of the country to Zheng, and changed the Yuan to enlightened. In May of the second year of Wude, Datang pacified Xiliang Li Rail, and there were no worries. In July of the second year of Wude, Luo Shixin, the former general of Wagang, returned to the Tang Dynasty......

However, these have no impact on Zixuan's life, she practices calligraphy, reads, helps Yang Huaijun take care of children, talks to Li Jin and Qiu Shi, learns to be a female celebrity with Aunt Wei, and sometimes accompanies Shimin to train in the army. She and the people are still the same, the people chase and she escapes, but her heart is sweeter than honey. Life is so peaceful and tranquil until one thing happens......

On this day, in the early dynasty, Li Yuan discussed national affairs with his ministers. Shimin issued a message: "Father, from March this year, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, with the support of the Turks, sent the general Wei Chi Jingde to invade Taiyuan repeatedly. Taiyuan is the land of my Tang Dynasty Longxing, and my sons asked their father to order their sons to go out on an expedition to defeat Liu Wuzhou. ”

Since Jinyang raised troops to the present, the people of the world have repeatedly made military exploits, and they have surpassed the crown prince, and Pei Lin once said that the people of the world may want to seize the throne, Li Yuan didn't want him to make too many contributions, so he said: "My son doesn't have to worry too much, Taiyuan has Yuanji, and there will be no big mistakes in the future." ”

Liu Wenjing came out and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Qi is young and has no experience in actual combat, so please ask the emperor to send the King of Qin to go before it is safe." ”

Pei Lin naturally understood what Li Yuan meant, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu's words are wrong, the King of Qi has been strong since he was a child, and the minister heard that the King of Qi often trains soldiers in Taiyuan, which is enough to live up to the emperor's trust and defend Taiyuan." The minister thought that there was no need to send the king of Qin to fight again. ”

Liu Wenjing sneered: "I don't know where Lord Pei heard about King Qi, it is very different from what the minister heard. The minister heard that Yu Wenxin, the general of Taiyuan, had written a letter to admonish that the king of Qi had been hunting all day long and trampling on the people's fields, and the people of Taiyuan were very resentful. As for the training of soldiers, I heard that it is just a 'killing game' played by His Royal Highness King Qi! ”

Although Li Yuan knew that what Liu Wenjing said was true, how did Li Yuan, who was his father, get off the stage by saying Yuanji's bad deeds in public?

Seeing Li Yuan's displeasure on his face, Shimin knew that Liu Wenjing's words were serious, so he played a round: "Father, Yuanji is young after all, and some things may not be considered well, so it is better for his sons to help him." ”

"That's it! Yuanji is not small, Shimin, when you are so old, you have solved the siege of Yanmen, and it is time for him to go through the experience! Li Yuan brushed his sleeves away. (To be continued......)
