Chapter 1 Return to Chang'an
"Whew...... Whew......"
"Gollum, Gollum......"
In the cold winter wax moon when the north wind is howling, the sound of the car wheel is the most annoying, especially when the car wheel runs over one pit after another, making a crisp sound, and the people in the car are also shaken, which is really annoying.
"Well, I knew I was riding a horse."
After sighing just now, Li Ke immediately shook his head, and then shook his head with a wry smile - riding a horse or something is just that, if he really dares to ride a horse in this weather, I am afraid that he will be like his guards, and his face will be frozen one after another.
So even if he didn't like it, Li Ke could only sit honestly in the carriage.
However, after a few times in a row, he finally couldn't help it, lifted the curtain and asked, "Someone's coming...... How far is it from Chang'an? ”
"If you go back to the king, there are still forty miles."
Immediately, one of the guards stepped forward and replied respectfully.
Looking up at the sky, Li Ke frowned: "There are still forty miles?" Wouldn't it be impossible to make it today? ”
"Yes, King."
Nodding, the guard also said helplessly: "So we expect to stay for one night in the first ten miles, and someone has already gone to prepare in advance...... Well? ”
As he spoke, the guard accidentally glanced ahead and was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing the change in the guard's expression, Li Ke frowned, turned his head to look ahead, and then was stunned like the guard, and his eyes widened instantly: "This...... Whose carriage is this? Why is it so big? ”
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty and one of the emperor's favorite sons, what kind of scene has Li Ke never seen? But after seeing the carriage in front of him, he was really taken aback!
Just looking at the size, it's at least two or three times bigger than the one you sit in, right?
Who's from?
Subconsciously, a thought came to Li Ke's mind, and then he began to look for the answer in the details of the carriage - in fact, the carriages of the great nobles in ancient China had the same characteristics of their respective families as in Europe, and they could still be easily found if they were conspicuous.
With such a large carriage, ordinary people can't afford to sit on it.
And because of the influence of status, even the top businessmen in Datang may not dare to build such a huge carriage, so Li Ke can be sure at the first glance that this thing must be owned by the bigwigs he knows.
It's just that after a few glances, Li Ke still couldn't see it.
"Li Liang, stop this carriage!"
Without too much hesitation, Li Ke directly gave an order to his guards, then straightened his clothes and walked down from his carriage.
No matter who it is, don't you know if you stop and meet it?
"Gollum...... In the sound of grunting ......", the tall carriage approached, and then after seeing it more clearly, Li Ke's eyes widened again - this, this carriage is actually four-wheeled?!
Under Li Ke's surprised gaze, the carriage slowly stopped, and then a teenager jumped down from above!
"Fang Jun?"
After seeing the people getting off the carriage, Li Ke was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why are you...... Ahem, I mean, where did you get this carriage from? I don't think I've seen this king before! ”
The Erlang of the Liang Guogong family in front of him, of course Li Ke will not be unrecognized.
In fact, many of the Langjun of the founding fathers' family are not impressed, after all, even when he was in Chang'an, he couldn't see each other a few times in a year, let alone now that Li Ke has been released, it is even more impossible to see him.
Including this time, Li Ke was able to return to Chang'an, which was also due to luck.
Two years ago, I don't know what Li Shimin thought, insisting on dividing his younger brothers and sons and letting them hereditary assassination...... Even the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling's subordinates have also received such favors. In the words of the emperor, that is when the brothers fought the world together, and now that I am sitting on the position of the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, I naturally can't forget the brothers who gave me their lives with their heads at the beginning, and everyone also chose a state to be the assassin, and it would be good for the descendants to pass it on for generations.
As a result, what the emperor didn't expect was that there was no one who was willing!
Especially the eldest grandson Wuji and other bigwigs who can talk to each other, they are even more complaining, and they find Li Shimin several times, saying that they shared hardships at the beginning, but now they can't get rich together, right?
Anyway, it's just a sentence, I don't want to go!
If you want to put it in the future, it won't take a thousand years to come, even a few hundred years from now, I'm afraid I can't figure out why these people don't want to. But only those who live in this era can clearly understand the reasons.
It's so boring without him!
Hereditary history of assassination? What about even the so-called Upper State?
In addition to Chang'an and Luoyang, even if it is Taiyuan, the starting place of the Tang royal family, how many people are willing to go? A state is quite big, but at most it has a population of more than 100,000, and the so-called state capital cannot be compared with Chang'an and Luoyang, at most it is like a small town around Chang'an, what's the point of staying?
After all, who is accustomed to the bustling Chang'an, who wants to go to a small place to be a thorn?
Including Li Shimin's younger brothers and sons, in fact, none of them were willing to go, but the younger brothers had no choice, except for Li Yuanjia, they all had to leave Chang'an. As for Li Shimin's sons, at the beginning, they could still use various reasons not to leave, but later, under the pressure of the ministers, the emperor had to reluctantly order them to go to the states as soon as possible......
Li Ke, whose mother is noble and has always been a thorn in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, is naturally no exception.
So if it weren't for the fact that the emperor finally figured it out this time, retracted his previous order, and took the opportunity to recall his two sons by the way, it would be very difficult for Li Ke to come back......
Well, that's a long way off.
“…… I've seen the king! ”
After getting out of the car and seeing Li Ke, Fang Jun was obviously taken aback, and did not answer Li Ke's question directly, but hurriedly saluted: "I don't know if the king has arrived, Fang Jun is rude......"
No matter how bad Fang Jun's reputation is in history, he was born in the Liang Guo Mansion, but he will never be negligent in etiquette.
"Haha, okay, you're welcome!"
stepped forward and grabbed Fang Jun's right hand, Li Ke said with a smile: "I heard that your marriage with Gao Yang has been postponed, and this time the king came back to Chang'an, just in time to participate...... I'm going to treat my sister well in the future! ”
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Fang Jun nodded with a dry smile: "Hehe, don't worry, the king, Fang Jun will live up to the king's order!" ”
After chatting a few words, Li Ke couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and once again turned the topic to the carriage: "Fang Jun, this carriage ...... What's going on? I've never seen anything like this before......"
