Chapter 71 [Li Shimin wants to find Gu Tianya's stubble]
Only half an hour later, Tiance Mansion walked out of two horses and one cart, walked leisurely all the way, straight out of the south gate of Luoyang, looking at the slow and leisurely appearance, as if going to the snow outside the city to enjoy the scenery.
After the two horses and one cart left the city gate, they continued to walk slowly for three or four miles, and suddenly two knights appeared in the mountains and forests beside the road, and in a blink of an eye they ran to both sides of the carriage.
As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson princess rode in the carriage, both of them were tightly dressed, which was very suitable for long-distance travel.
"Abandon the cart and change the horse!"
Li Shimin spoke in a deep voice and ordered the two knights: "You two pretend to be the king and the princess, continue to ride the carriage to enjoy the scenery in the snow, and wait until it gets dark, and then return home with great fanfare." ”
The two knights bowed and cautiously boarded the carriage.
And Li Shimin and the eldest grandson princess got out of the carriage, each turned over and jumped on the war horse, Li Shimin glanced at everyone, and suddenly said with an unhappy voice: "For a poor boy, this king and Guanyin have traveled thousands of miles, if you don't be well entertained, don't expect this king to give him a good face." ”
The eldest grandson sneered and said, "You should be ruthless, maybe you will be closer than anyone else after you meet your brother-in-law." ”
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he snorted: "Don't even think about it, this king will never give him a good face." A mud boy, how dare you coax my sister, hum ......"
The first prince is the hardest like a duck.
Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang, who were accompanying him, quietly glanced at each other, and they both saw the strangeness and snickering in each other's eyes.
Li Shimin suddenly whipped his horsewhip and whispered: "Go!" ”
He hissed and sprinted, and in an instant he stepped on the snow and sprinted, and the three people behind him also whipped their horses and galloped together in his direction.
In order to prevent eyeliner, they deliberately walked to the east gate of Luoyang, and at this time they needed to turn around and go north instead.
The four of them rode all the way, and the cold weather can be regarded as braving the cold, Li Shimin and the two generals marched all the year round, and they naturally did not have a problem with this bitter cold, and it was admirable that the eldest grandson princess was also quite tenacious, and seemed to not care about her own rush and guilt at all.
In this way, I can travel two or three hundred miles every day, from Luoyang to Hebei, about 800 miles, and continue to gallop into Hebei, and reach Miyun for another 800 miles......
The four people and four horsemen rushed desperately, and it only took six days, when people were sleepy and tired, they finally arrived at Gujia Village.
At this time, it was the evening of one day, and the weather here in Hebei was even colder, but the four of them didn't care about the weather, they were already stunned by the scene in front of them.
But I saw a small village, which stood against the big river, and where the head of the village met the official road, a piece of building had already been built.
It is the cold winter evening, and it is said that everyone should hide at home to keep out the cold, but there is a lot of people in front of them, just like a prosperous place in Luoyang.
There must be at least one or two hundred children, all of them carrying small pockets, and although they are young, they are not playful, but they are lined up in a line, as if waiting quietly to do something.
I also saw a large number of women and old people, the number of at least seventy or eighty, although they were all women and children, old and weak, but they were working in the wind and cold, they were carrying pieces of red strange bricks and stones, they were carrying thick wood one by one, and they were working together with some of the soldiers of the women's army to build the Gujia Village Post Station that stood next to the official road.
The eldest princess was obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's all women, old man......"
Because the weather was freezing and the women and the elderly were too weak, it was often necessary for several people to lift a piece of wood and carry it to the post station site to teach the post guards.
They were visibly tired, but there was a cheerful laugh everywhere, and occasionally there was a burst of chatter, and the sound of the women's hip-hop sounded, as if some woman had molested some of the post man, and all the women were teasing with them.
They were visibly tired, but somehow in a good mood.
Li Shimin looked at these women in a daze, looked at the ragged clothes on their bodies, and suddenly seemed to have a feeling, and said with a difficult tone: "This king is in Hebei, and he feels a lot of guilt!" [Historically, Li Shimin once said that I felt a lot of guilt in Hebei]
He led his troops to fight with Dou Jiande back then, and fought to the death in this area, killing rivers of blood for thousands of miles, and almost everywhere were lonely, widowed, old and young.
Although the Li family won, Li Shimin felt that his conscience had lost.
These widows in Hebei Province have a share of the sins he created when he led his troops to attack.
Li Shimin looked at the scene in front of him with blazing eyes, and unconsciously extended his gaze into the distance, and he saw that not far away at the head of the village, there were several large cauldrons steaming, and there was a thick hot porridge boiling in it, and the aroma wafted far away in the cold wind.
In my ears, the laughter of the widows rang out again.
Li Shimin suddenly thought about it, as if muttering to himself: "I'm afraid this is the reason why they are happy." All the people asked for was a bite to eat. Even if it's cold, even if it's coolies, but to have a mouthful of hot porridge to earn in their mouths, and to have a job to keep them alive, this is happiness, this is hope......"
He paused as he spoke, as if he was a little unwilling in his heart, but although he was unwilling, he still spoke with admiration after all, as if he was muttering again, humming someone's name lightly, and said: "Gu Tianya, Gu Tianya, hey, what a Gu Tianya." ”
He looked around, as if he wanted to find a peasant boy who was different from others, but after scanning for a long time, he didn't think that person was particularly unusual.
On the contrary, when he looked at the cauldron at the head of the village again, his eyes suddenly became obviously stunned, and he stared blankly at a figure next to the cauldron, with a look of disbelief on his face.
At that time, an extremely familiar woman, wearing extremely simple peasant clothes, cloth clothes and wooden hairpins, was busy, between the cold and the freezing, she was busy sweating profusely, but her pretty face was clearly full of joy, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of happiness.
At this time, Princess Changsun also found the woman, and suddenly covered her mouth with her little hand, and said with surprise: "Oh my God, Sister Xiuning... She... She's doing rough work......"
Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang next to him were also dumbfounded, looking at the figure next to the cauldron in a daze, the two generals couldn't believe that the woman who did rough work was actually the world-famous Princess Pingyang.
Cloth clothes, wooden hairpins.
Like the goddess of the Nine Heavens, now she has fallen to the dust.
However, why, the princess's face was so wishful and comfortable.
Li Shimin looked at his sister from a distance, his face was obviously gloomy, his face was longer than a donkey, he suddenly snorted viciously, gritted his teeth and said: "Gu Tianya, what a Gu Tianya, you dare to let this king's sister suffer this, this king swears that he will never give you good fruits to eat, after meeting, you are good-looking......"
Even if you let this people live out hope, but this king still has to throw you a face, hum!
From ancient times to the present, the people who are brothers are the same.
For my brother-in-law, I am very unhappy.
……
…… Today, I sent more than 7,000 words in a row, the reason is very simple, everyone voted fiercely yesterday, which made me embarrassed for shameless people, so I increased the number of words to show that I am a particular person.
Ahem, right, Shanshui is a particular person. People give the nickname three times out of the water, and say that the three times promise not to give you a fourth time.
