Chapter 33: The Crown Prince Li Ying

Ten mile pavilion on the outskirts of Chang'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Guo Zhiyun, Pei Min, and Non Gongren walked to the Shili Pavilion where the crown prince Li Ying was located under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites.

Pei Min was not impressed by Li Ying, but he knew that Li Ying gave Li Longji death.

Nowadays, there is an extremely serious problem in the court, the queen has no heirs: Queen Wang is Li Longji's wife, virtuous and virtuous, and has the style of the eldest grandson queen. He was of great help to Li Longji in times of trouble. But for unknown reasons, Queen Wang was unable to conceive and has no heirs. This also means that the crown prince cannot be determined according to the law of primogeniture.

Li Ying is Li Longji's second son, and after Li Longji grasped the real power, because his eldest son Li Tan was hunting in the garden, his face was injured by a pig, and he had serious scars on his face, and he was broken.

The emperor was indecent, and his second son, Li Ying, was also promoted to the crown prince.

Li Ying's reason for giving death in history is quite nonsense.

Li Longji has a concubine who is Wu Zetian's grandnephew, because of the early death of his father, he was sheltered by Wu Zetian and grew up in the palace since he was a child. Because of her charming appearance and empathy, she won Li Longji's favor for Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui wanted her son to become the crown prince in order to control the rudder of the world.

On a certain day and a certain day. Concubine Wu Hui told Li Ying that there were thieves in the palace and asked Li Ying to help catch the thieves.

Li Ying didn't say a word, led Li Yao, Li Ju, and the three brothers put on armor and entered the palace to capture the thief.

On the other side, Concubine Wu Hui said to Li Longji, "The crown prince and the second king are going to rebel!" They wore iron armor and entered the palace......"

Then Li Longji gave his own three sons to death.

The whole process fully reflects Li Ying's ignorance and Li Longji's almost idiotic and ignorant belief in the people he trusts.

There are thieves in the palace compound, and a prince needs to come out?

And the three sons wore armor to enter the palace, which is a rebellion? And give death?

The plot that is more ridiculous than the Qing court dramas of later generations really appeared in history.

Pei Min thought about the past, and he didn't know whether to laugh at Li Ying, the prince's brain-dead, or Li Longji, the emperor's mental retardation.

Maybe Li Ying is not as virtuous as Prince Zhang Huai back then, and she is a second-class idiot. Therefore, although his unjust death was Li Longji's fault, no one avenged him.

Thinking wildly, Pei Min came to the nearby suburbs of Chang'an.

Looking from afar, the flags are all over the field, and the scale is grand.

Outside the Ten Mile Pavilion, a figure in a yellow python robe looked at them.

The official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the contact was Pei Min's eldest brother, He Zhizhang, who looked at the triumphant return of the three people with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in front to greet you in triumph. ”

Pei Min and the others had already learned the news, prepared enough etiquette homework, and dismounted together to meet the crown prince Li Ying on foot.

On this occasion, Pei Min did not talk to He Zhizhang, but only made a gesture of drinking.

He Zhizhang, as the number one drunkard, understands it.

When the group of them came closer, Li Ying looked at the soldiers in military uniform, his momentum was huge, and he couldn't help but take a small step back.

He had just been ten years old, and he had seen such a scene in the palace compound.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Pei Min, Guo Zhiyun, and Gong Ren greeted Li Ying with a military salute.

The soldiers behind him also paid homage in unison.

Pei Min is wearing Mingguang armor, and there are special regulations in all dynasties, and soldiers in armor can be exempted from big gifts, just make a gesture.

He bent down slightly, just to see the horror on Li Ying's fleshy face, although he can't be too harsh on a ten-year-old child, but as the crown prince, he can't say that he must be extraordinary, at least not too mediocre.

Seeing that the soldiers all saluted him, Li Ying realized that his identity was the crown prince, and he was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty above 10,000 people under one person, and he was a little more courageous, and said loudly: "You have regained the lost territory for my Tang Dynasty, opened up the territory, and made outstanding achievements, and you are really a meritorious minister of my Tang Dynasty, so you can quickly exempt ...... courtesy."

"Your Highness!"

After Pei Min and his entourage thanked them, they re-entered the imperial city under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites.

It has been less than a year since the previous celebration, but the people of Chang'an are still extremely enthusiastic.

Especially this victory belongs to recovering lost territory and opening up territory, and this glory Datang has not experienced for twenty or thirty years.

Think about Emperor Taizong's four-way conquest and submission of the four Yi, and then think of Emperor Gaozong to conquer the largest Chinese territory in ancient times. However, when he arrived in the Wuhou Dynasty, he let the Tubo bully, let the Turks slap his face, and even the little Xi Khitan stepped on his head to show off his might, which was really a great shame.

Now the new emperor has only reigned for a few years, first recaptured Liaodong from the Xi and Khitan, and now has recovered the Jiuqu land in Hexi.

The people vaguely felt in their hearts that the Tang Dynasty of the past was back again, and the dynasty that made Siyi frightened showed its fangs again.

Celebrating a victory is not enough.

As always, the army passed through Suzaku Street and arrived at the Imperial Palace Taimiao, where they were greeted by three necessary things to do to sacrifice heaven and earth, sacrifice prisoners to Taimiao, and parade Chengtianmen.

When the prisoner Taimiao was being sacrificed, Pei Min noticed that Guo Zhiyun beside him was a little abnormal, and he seemed to be unable to hold on.

This veteran is sick, where can he stand such a boring and complicated etiquette.

Pei Min hurriedly helped him and asked the soldiers to take him to the Imperial Doctor's Office to recuperate.

Fortunately, the focus of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony was on the captives rather than Pei Min and his party, and their movements did not affect the progress of the ceremony.

But Guo Zhiyun's strange appearance was seen in the eyes of the civil and military officials, and they each had a plan.

Guo Zhiyun couldn't hold on, Pei Min was the deputy marshal, and the parade ceremony was naturally commanded by him.

This time, Pei Min stood with his head held high, and he was not qualified before, but now he has a clear conscience.

At the end of the parade, Li Longji held a banquet in the Wude Palace, and almost all the adults above the third grade were invited to be guests at the banquet, which also shows how much attention this Li family Saburo attaches to this big victory.

Pei Min looked at Song Jing, who was in the chief, and already knew in his heart that Yao Chong had given a resignation unexpectedly, and he had a small regret in his heart.

Yao Chong is such a person, while admiring and agreeing with his talent, his character is unacceptable to you.

This feast of victory was naturally full of laughter.

Pei Min was a little restless, he wanted to go home more than this celebration banquet to see his mother, wife and unborn child.

The feast did not end until nightfall.

Pei Min couldn't wait to leave, Gao Lishi walked quickly and followed, shouting: "Pei Guogong, Pei Guogong, please stay!" ”

Pei Min really wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, so he turned around helplessly and said, "Gao Neishi, you can't pretend that you didn't see me!" ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "Your Majesty is invited, don't dare to slack off." Guogong can rest assured that His Majesty attaches great importance to Guogong, and will definitely understand Guogong's eagerness to go home, and will not delay for too long. ”

"Okay!" Pei Min responded, and followed Gao Lishi helplessly.

The two chatted all the way.

When he came to the apse of Wude, Li Longji was dressed in plain clothes, and when he saw Pei Min walking into the hall, he stepped forward with a laugh and said: "Jingyuan, don't blame me for ruining your good deeds, I really have something to discuss with you, not to mention that I can't sleep." ”
