Chapter 185 Chasing the North (XXXIV
In the Jinyang Palace, although most places, it has become a place for soldiers to be raised. And where the main hall is located, it was also deliberately avoided by the Tang Guogong family, who was still nominally a courtier, and some scenes had to be followed.
But in a corner of the palace near Tianlong Mountain, it still retains its original appearance.
The hot springs that are drawn down from Tianlong Mountain, bubbling white in winter, spiral down the stone bridge of white marble in two ways, and pour into a garden pond.
This garden deliberately imitates the shape of Penglai, the pine is green, and the stone mountains are grandiose. The pond introduces the white mist of hot springs to transpire, and the mountains and rocks and trees are covered by the white air, just like a fairyland on earth.
The building in this garden is the favorite Jiangnan scenery of the Son of Heaven, the craftsmen of that year, all of them were transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and the mountains, rocks and trees also took great efforts to transport them. To build such a garden, it is estimated that the financial resources will be enough to raise the five major eagle Yang mansions in the east of the Mayi River for two or three years.
But the Son of Heaven did not set foot here after all. This garden has also changed its owner.
In the middle of the pond in the garden, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the nine-curved covered bridge connects the inside and outside. In the white air of the hot spring, the sound of conversation and laughter can be faintly heard. And the maids are walking on the covered bridge, the ground is steaming, these maids are thinly dressed, their cheeks are sweaty, and their bodies are looming, just like the goddess of Yaochi.
In the meantime, I really don't know if it's in the world or in the fairyland.
In the small island in the middle of the lake, there is a high-level meeting going on.
On the island, a small pergola was built, and under the pergola there were mats on the ground, and several tables were set up. There are also several cases on both sides of the pergola, and there are more than ten people kneeling after a few cases, and these more than ten people are all bareheaded and barefoot, wearing only single shirts. The temperament is either strong or shrewd or calm, most of them are about thirty years old, and they are constantly laughing and laughing with each other, and they are very close.
And under the pergola sat on the chairman of the two, one was more than twenty years old, with big ears, short hair, a steady expression, a brocade shirt dressed properly, holding a jade Ruyi, although such a relaxed banquet, but this young man still could not completely let go of the appearance, even if he had been smiling, but always with a little reserve.
This young man is Li Jiancheng, the son of Tang Guogong. Wentong scriptures and history, Wu can gallop horses and hit the lance. Treat people sincerely and generously, be able to be anxious about people's difficulties, and act in a proper manner. Among the family, the reputation is excellent, and he is considered to be the qualified heir of the Tang Guogong, and he will definitely be able to carry forward the reputation of the Li family in Longxi. The world's handsome people have thrown themselves into his disciples, and many children of the family are willing to run for him.
In such a dominant position, it is more likely to follow his father further in the future and turn his family into a country, Li Jiancheng is acting more and more cautiously, even if he comforts his subordinates today and puts wine at the high meeting, he still refuses to let go of the squeaky remains, sits on the head, and only drinks a few sips of the good wine on several cases, just looks at the excitement of everyone in the next seat with a smile.
Next to Li Jiancheng is his third brother Li Yuanji, who is only ten years old this year, but he has grown into a teenager, with a strong body and a thick skeleton. Even the lips have a faint fluff. He didn't have a horn, his hair was scattered, he sat lazily beside his brother, eating the scorched meat strips sent by the maid, and he looked uninterested in the high meeting in front of him.
Li Yuanji was precocious as a young man, and he showed amazing talent in martial arts since he was a child, and was promised the seed of a future famous general. At the age of ten, he was violent and brave, followed his father to shoot and hunt, and dared to chase the bear and tiger with a bow alone. At that time, Murong Ke and Murong Chui, the peerless double pride of the Murong family, also went into battle in their early teens, and laid down the empire of the Murong family.
The two hosts at the table were a little alienated from this high-level meeting. But everyone at the table didn't care. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of years of war have created the heroic character of the people in the family at this moment, but as long as the joy of today, it will not hurt the passing of the coming day.
More than a dozen people were either from families or prestigious for a long time, laughing loudly, waving their sleeves, and persuading each other to drink, all of which had five or six points of alcohol.
These days, everyone is very busy with the start of the army. Li Jiancheng was destined to take on the responsibility of the troops in this uprising, establish his own troops, straighten out the establishment, reserve materials, and arrange personnel. There are mountains of things to deal with everywhere. Even if Li Jiancheng is full of talents, he is still busy in the dark. It is rare that Li Jiancheng will hold a banquet in this garden today to entertain everyone and relax his spirit. These corporals who built the door were unceremoniously enjoyed to their heart's content. After being full of wine and food, I have to take the maid to have another nonsense.
Drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to take charge of the world, isn't this the fastest thing a man can do?
There was a lot of noise below, and the head Li Yuanji finally got impatient and pulled his brother: "Da Lang, when will this be over?" Sitting here, you are not allowed to drink wine, I might as well take the guards into Tianlong Mountain to shoot and play tricks! ”
The smile on Li Jiancheng's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Li Yuanji: "Everyone has worked hard for so long, all for our Li family's cause, thank them today, as the master of the Li family, you don't accompany you to the end, where can you win people's hearts and serve your life?" ”
Li Yuanji pursed his lips: "Isn't that the case if you don't return to your heart?" Can the son of the Li family be replaced by someone else? Don't these people go to smelt copper instead of beating now? ”
Li Jiancheng restrained his smile and glared at Li Yuanji fiercely: "I treat people as a countryman, and talents treat me as a countryman." These children's fairy tales, don't talk nonsense in the future! ”
Li Yuanji has been irritable since he was a child, although he has the best relationship with Jiancheng, but when he said this, he was still not angry: "It's okay, I'm a child, you continue to attract people's hearts here, I'll play tricks myself, rest assured, you will be the prince in the future, and I won't touch your light!" ”
Seeing that this impulsive younger brother was about to leave the table, making everyone ugly, Li Jiancheng grabbed him: "Who said that the position of this prince is firmly mine?" My father said a few days ago that a certain character is too modest, more than successful, and not enterprising enough. Now that the world's heroes are divided, it should be the time to forge ahead, and my father also said that the second brother is brave and resolute, and the second brother will also bear the heavy responsibility of this time............ The position of the crown prince is difficult to say! If you don't want to win people's hearts, do you wait for the second brother to rob it? ”
Li Yuanji was furious: "The second brother dares to compete with the eldest brother for the throne? I just let the guards die as a street stick, and I can sue me in front of my father! How can such a brother count on him in the future? I'll take the guards to his door and storm his mansion to see what kind of face he has to attract people's hearts!" ”
Li Jiancheng can let Yuanji make trouble, and he will raise troops at this moment, and he will make extraneous branches, and the unlucky ones are naturally his own family. grabbed him at the moment, but Li Yuanji just struggled: "Dalang, let go!" ”
The two brothers tore these few times, and finally attracted the attention of the people in the chief room, and they were about to be persuaded. I saw a house slave from the Shizi's Mansion, hurrying along the Jiuqu Covered Bridge, holding a sealed fire patent leather cylinder in his hand. The maids on the Jiuqu Covered Bridge dodged one after another, and the sound of coquettish voices continued to sound.
Everyone's eyes turned again.
What's going on here?
