Chapter 43: The Indifference of the World
Yuan Ji threw down Ziyi, let her watch from the side, and took the horse lance himself, and rushed into one of the teams, "General Ben is also in the battle today!" You don't have to be afraid to hurt me, give me a real gun! ”
The soldiers knew that Li Yuanji, the Duke of Qi, was violent and said nothing, and they didn't dare not fight hard. In a short time, countless people were killed and slashed, and the air was filled with blood, and a military camp turned into hell in an instant. Pity these soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but by the swords of their own companions.
Ziyi was shocked to see, and her body was painful and cold.
"Isn't this the fourth young grandmother? Why are you here? ”
Ziyi turned around and saw an old mother, and asked weakly, "Who are you?" ”
The old mother squatted down, put down the basket in her hand, and helped Ziyi sit up, "I am Chen Shanyi, the nurse of the fourth son, and I come to the barracks every day to deliver food to the fourth son, and he is not used to eating in the barracks." How did you get hurt like this? Did the fourth son beat him? What about the four sons? ”
Ziyi nodded, his eyes glancing at the "battlefield", "He is training soldiers in actual combat." ”
Chen Shanyi was shocked, "He trained soldiers like this again?" Ah! Every time, a lot of people die, and if you don't get it, you get hurt again. ”
"You say he always trains his soldiers like this?" Ziyi couldn't believe how Li Yuan could rest assured that Taiyuan would be handed over to Li Yuanji.
At this time, the "war" was over, Li Yuanji walked back panting, his body was already covered with colors, his arms and legs were full of knife marks, he pulled Ziyi's hair, and said viciously: "How is it?" Do you see it clearly? Lao Tzu is no worse than Li Shimin in war! ”
Chen Shanyi hurriedly pulled Yuanji, "Oh, fourth son, what are you doing here?" How did a good new daughter-in-law get like this? You see that you yourself are also wounded. You listen to the nurse's advice, you can't train soldiers like this anymore. The second son of our Li family is the best at leading troops, and I haven't heard of such military training. ”
"Shut up! You're an old immortal! Why can't I compare to Li Shimin? Yuan Ji pushed Chen Shanyi to the ground, "Relying on me to eat your milk for a few days, do you really treat yourself as my mother?" "As he spoke, he kicked it up again.
"Come on, take this old immortal, give me five horses to divide the body!" Motoyoshi shouted.
Who dared not listen, several soldiers came up and tied Chen Shanyi's limbs and head to five horses with their hands and feet. That Chen Shanyi burst into tears, "Fourth son! The old body is for your good, how can you be so ruthless? When Mrs. gave birth to you, she refused to breastfeed you because she thought you were ugly, it was the old man who raised your milk, and even the lord and lady respected me for three points, and you wanted to kill me today! ”
"Cut out my tongue first." Yuanji said.
Ziyi hugged his legs, "Li Yuanji, are you crazy?" She's your nurse! ”
Yuan Ji grabbed her, "You open my eyes for me to see clearly, it's the nurse, I also said kill it, don't think I dare to kill you!" ”
Yuan Ji gave an order, and the five horses ran in different directions at the same time, and the nurse Chen Shanyi was torn into five pieces. The flying flesh made Ziyi feel sick.
"Ha, ha, ha......"
Ziyi's ears heard Li Yuanji's fierce and presumptuous laughter, and his whole body exuded a cold light, he was not a human, he was simply a devil! Ziyi fainted......

The shape of Daxing was very good, and Li Yuan continued to send consolation envoys to Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Huaisi, Jianghan and other places. On the whole, the effect is good, and he slowly expands his direct territory in the cracks of various separatist forces. And Liu Wenjing, who has always been in a relationship with Qu Tutong, also used methods such as night raids and lobbying to force Qu Tutong to surrender. It's just that Xue Ju, who was proclaimed emperor in Longxi, began to attack Fufeng County. Feng Yi on the left and Feng on the right are Daxing's right-hand men, and Xue Ju's move is tantamount to declaring war on Li Yuan.
Jiancheng asked Li Yuan to fight, but Li Yuan refused, on the grounds that Jiancheng was the prince of Tang and would be the prince in the future, with a noble status, and he could not always go to the battlefield, so as not to make any mistakes. So, Li Yuan decided to send Shimin to fight......
On this day, Zixuan came back from Aunt Wei. Since Aunt Wei was rescued by Zixuan and raised in the house, her body has gradually improved, and her complexion has become more and more ruddy. She often makes some clothes, handkerchiefs and other things for Zixuan, and Aunt Wei is very good at handiwork, and this time she made Zixuan her favorite blue silk flower skirt.
Zixuan looked at the skirt while walking along the courtyard wall of the back garden to his room, suddenly, Zixuan heard a woman sobbing in a low voice, and couldn't help but stop, could it be that there is someone in the back garden? She stopped, and peeked peek into the garden through the openwork window. I saw that the woman's posture was dignified, graceful, black as charcoal, white skin was better than snow, and her face was picturesque, she was sitting on a big stone and weeping, and the shallow mist was drifting in a pair of watery apricot eyes, which made people feel distressed to watch.
The little maid beside her persuaded in a low voice: "Princess, don't cry, it's very troublesome for people to see." They all said that Qin Gong doted on Mrs. Wei, I don't think it was necessarily, I heard that although Qin Gong went to Mrs. Wei's to share a room with her almost every day, but he didn't stay with her all night, and every time he was done, Qin Gong went back to his room to sleep. Princess, you just need to put some thought on Qin Gong, don't be so cold to others, you must be the one who will be favored. ”
Yang Huaijun said: "It's like a painting, you and I are rare in his favor?" I hate him too late! I cry because I miss my father. Now that Daxing has been occupied by Li Yuan, I don't know what happened to my father in Jiangdu? If my father knew that Li Yuan had set up Yu'er as a puppet emperor and forced me to marry Li Shimin, would he still be angry? ”
The painting said nervously: "Shh...... Princess, this is even more so. Now, 'people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat', these words are heard by the Li family, and they will die......"
Zixuan couldn't listen to it anymore, she turned around and left quietly, these words shocked her too much! It turned out that she was Yang Huaijun, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, since she entered the mansion, this princess has been living in a simple place, and Zixuan has never seen her. Later generations of literati are describing the love between her and Li Shimin, saying that she is Li Shimin's favorite, but now it seems that this is not the case at all! This Princess Yang not only did not love Li Shimin, but remembered all the national enemies and family hatreds on Li Shimin.
Listening to the girl's painting-like tone, this princess is being snubbed, and obviously Li Shimin doesn't want to see her. And Li Shimin is in the same room with Wei Jue and does not stay overnight, where is this favor, what does he treat Wei Jue for? A tool for venting desire? What is Li Shimin thinking? Since he didn't like either of them, why should he marry them?
Zixuan returned to her room, her mood was still not calm for a long time, and she paced back and forth in the room. Is this the Tang Taizong Li Shimin she admires?
The records in the history books are not like this, Tang Taizong Li Shimin is not only eloquent, but also affectionate and righteous. After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he would burst into tears when he saw the concubines in the harem living a rich and happy life, thinking of his mother who died early; In the fourth year of Zhenguan, his powerful minister Du Ruhui died of illness, he was very sad, once, he ate a very sweet watermelon, remembered Du Ruhui, and couldn't eat it anymore, but asked Fang Xuanling to send the other half of the watermelon to Du Ruhui's grave; In the tenth year of Zhenguan, the eldest grandson queen died, he built a tower in the palace, and often went up to look at Zhaoling, remembering this wife; In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling was seriously ill, and Li Shimin, who was also seriously ill at that time, took Fang Xuanling to the palace to recuperate, and the two monarchs and ministers cried opposite each other; Also, he looked at the diagram of the structure of the human organs, and changed the staff from spanking on the back to spanking so as not to hurt the organs; In order not to kill in vain, he changed the death penalty in the Tang Dynasty to the "Five Repeats" before it could be implemented; Also, the beautiful talk of "three thousand palace maids came out of the harem, and four hundred death row prisoners returned to prison......
Zixuan recalled the records in the history books, how could Li Shimin, who was so affectionate to his mother, queen, courtiers or the common people, be so indifferent to his concubine?
The knock on the door pulled Zixuan's thoughts back from the history books, and Li Jin's voice came from outside the door: "Sister, the second son asked you to come over." ”
Zixuan took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and opened the door and went out......
Zixuan came to Li Shimin's study, Shimin asked Li Jin to close the door, leaving only Zixuan and Shimin in the room, Zixuan knew that he had important things to discuss.
Shimin got straight to the point: "Recently, many courtiers have persuaded my father to let him become the emperor as soon as possible, what do you think I should do?" ”
Zixuan thought for a while and said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan wrote a letter to Cao Cao, persuading him to ascend the throne and become emperor, and some of Cao Cao's subordinates agreed, but Cao Cao said; 'Sun Quan, this boy is going to roast me on the stove. ’”
Shimin said: "Do you also think that now is not the time to become the emperor?" ”
"Since the second prince has already decided that he is not the emperor, why are you still looking for me to ask?" Zixuan was still thinking about his indifference to Yang and Wei, and he couldn't help but speak with some affection.
Shimin smiled: "I want to ask you when is the time?" ”
It is now December of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and Zixuan has calculated the days of the Jiangdu incident, "It's soon, a few months." ”
Shimin got up and came to her, holding the back of her chair with both hands, enclosing her between his arms, staring into her eyes, as if to see her heart through her eyes, "I'm so curious, who are you?" ”
As soon as she touched this question, Zixuan's whole body became nervous, she lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, "How many times have you said it, an American who can tell fortunes." ”
Shimin chuckled and stood up, "Are you really going to believe me?" …… Well, I won't force you, I'm sure one day, you'll be willing to sue me. ”
At this moment, Li Jin knocked on the door and said outside the door: "Second son, Mrs. Wei's maid Yun'er is here." She brought a box of dim sum, saying that Mrs. Wei had cooked it for you herself. ”
And the people of the world said in the door, "I have given it to you." ”
