Chapter 8 Martial Talents and Talents are two flattering Li Shimin
Li Shimin took Luan Yu to patrol Luoyang, and the martial artists also accompanied him by car.
The Tang Dynasty Emperor's travel guard of honor is very huge, equipped with a canopy, a banner, a handi, a carriage and a horse, advocacy, the Tai Servant Qing is driving the jade chariot, serving in the middle and the middle book order clamping the waiter, the front is guided by the local county order, and then the Qingyou team, the left and right Jinwuwei, and the Vermilion Bird team are arranged in turn, and the back is the Yamen Banner, the pheasant tail fan, the Huang Lu battle, the Zhuwei horse team, the Xuanwu team, etc., along the way, the mighty and magnificent.
Arriving in Luoyang, Luan Yu crossed Luoshui from Tianjin Bridge, passed through Duanmen, Zetianmen, and Yongtai Gate in turn, and then entered Ziwei Palace to rest.
The martial artists quietly lifted the purple curtain to admire the red walls, green tiles and the majestic Luoyang Palace, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the eastern capital built by Yang Da!" It's more magnificent and gorgeous than Chang'an City! "I felt like I was coming home.
One day in the autumn, after Li Shimin listened to the court in the Wucheng Palace, he led the prime minister Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and the eldest grandson Wuji to the Zhenguan Hall to talk.
Shangshe Fengyu had already laid and placed the wall, the mat, the smoker and the incense case, and the martial artists brought the table and sealed things and placed them on the table, and poured warm mulberry wine, and then knelt aside to grind the ink.
Li Shimin talked with the prime ministers for a while, picked up the wine and glanced at the martial artists. The martial artists hurriedly got up, retreated to the side hall, beckoned the maids to bring wine, and poured warm mulberry wine for each prime minister.
Li Shimin unfolded the seal, and said while watching: "The person who sealed the matter said that I hunted too often. There is nothing to do in the world today, and the armament must not be forgotten, I sometimes hunt in the back garden with the left and right, and nothing bothers the people, what harm is there? ”
Wei Zheng replied: "The first king is afraid that he will not hear his own mistakes, since Your Majesty has let his subordinates go to the throne, he should let his subordinates speak freely." If its words are desirable, it is good for the country; If it's not desirable, there's no harm! Li Shimin nodded and said, "The public is right!" ”
Unfolded another volume of tables, the content was very long, and let the martial artists read it. It turned out to be the servant of the imperial Shi Ma Zhou Shangshu, and the martial artists stood respectfully on their sides, and used the way of news anchors to broadcast this table to the emperor and the prime minister. The voice is pleasant to the ear, the words are clear and smooth, the emotions are flat, the breath is stable, and the expression is both dignified and solemn, but also kind and lovely.
Even Fang Xuanling's old ears could hear it clearly and nodded in appreciation. After the broadcast, Li Shimin said to the courtiers: "The content of this book is very long, who can point out its main points?" ”
Fang Xuanling replied: "The main points are: 1. To be gracious, to be light, and to rest with the people; 2. The long-term strategy lies in adhering to the style and policy at the beginning of Zhenguan, starting well and ending well, not to force the enemy to be capitalized, and not to spoil the kings too much; 3, the history of the assassination, the county order to choose the people can do nothing, now the imperial court only attaches importance to the Beijing officials and the light state county, the Beijing officials are incompetent to fill the foreign appointment, so the people are not at peace. Congratulations to Your Majesty on having another talent! ”
Li Shimin said happily: "The fact that a servant can have such insight is obviously the result of in-depth investigation and research among the people. Fang Xianggong, the assassin should be self-chosen; The county order, the official of Yizhao Beijing has been raised by one person each. ”
He also said, "It's getting late today, so let's set up a banquet for you!" ”
Shang Shi Feng Yu and Guang Luqing led his subordinates to Shang Shan Kitchen to prepare for the treasure of shame, Taile Ling led the musicians to place the pipa, gonghou, zheng, xiao, flute, sheng, drum, drum, se, and bamboo in the hall.
Wu Cairen led the three harem dancers to prepare for the dance of "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", dressed as men, and changed into Jin Deguan, scarlet silk robe, copper belt, brocade jacket and scarlet silk pants.
The drums sounded, the piano sounded in unison, and Li Shimin and the ministers listened to the music while drinking and eating.
Martial artists and dancers enter the dance hall to the rhythm of the drum, waving up and down with wooden halberds in their hands, rotating left and right, leaning forward and leaning sideways, undulating and stumbling, advancing and retreating in harmony, carrying forward and vigorous, accompanied by impassioned drum music, showing the spirit of the Guanzhong Women's Army.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The harem Cui'e can also jump out of the demeanor of the soldiers in front of her, showing the momentum of Your Majesty's great defeat of Song Laosheng, Xue Rengao, Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and Liu Heimin, which is really rare!" ”
Li Shimin put his beard in his hand, immersed in the memories of galloping on the battlefield, and said after a while: "I remembered Sister Pingyang, and her courage was not inferior to me, but unfortunately I died early!" We're getting old, so why not have fun in time? Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. Here, cheers! "Raise it and drink it down.
In the early winter, Li Shimin wore a flat scarf to Luoyang Yuan to hunt, and before leaving, he gave Wucai a pair of bows and arrows, which were used by Princess Pingyang, and asked her to accompany her on horseback. The martial artists were very happy, changed into men's clothes, wore vermilion pleats, white hakama, put on hats, rode back horses, and followed behind.
Luoyang Garden is adjacent to Hangu in the west, Mangshan in the east, the Yellow River in the north, Daluo Valley in the south, there are mountains and hills in the garden, the flat and fertile fields, there are lush bamboo forests, ancient acacia fragrant cinnamon, there are rivers and rivers away from Pizhi, Mulan Sumang, crossing the water, the canal flows in it, the clear spring stream is tinkling, the beach is open, the water and grass are lush, the birds and beasts, fish, turtles, snakes and insects live and inhabit, a good hunting resort!
The emperor's hunting companions included the left and right guards, courtiers, Wufang palace envoys and hundred horsemen, as well as the hunters of the Western Regions who trained eagle dogs and lynxes. Li Shimin rode and shot on horseback, and gained a lot along the way, and the martial artists followed closely with bows and arrows on their backs.
Suddenly, Li Shimin stopped reining, pointed to the grass in the distance and said, "Wu Mei shoot quickly!" ”
"Howler!" Wu Cairen coquettishly agreed, looked at it, it turned out to be a pheasant, immediately opened the bow and arrows, but could not pull the bow, only half of the power of the wilderness was opened, the arrow shot not far away and fell, the pheasant fluttered and flew up.
Li Shimin smiled disdainfully, and with a wave of his hand, the Western Regions Hunter raised his arm high, released the eagle harrier, and immediately caught the pheasant that wanted to fly away.
The martial artist was secretly ashamed, he wanted to behave well, but he didn't expect to be ugly, so he carefully looked at the bow in his hand, it turned out to be a horn bow, using five cow tendons as strings, no wonder it was so difficult to pull! While thinking about it, he wondered, and gradually distanced himself from Li Shimin.
Suddenly, a group of wild boars rushed towards the Wucai people, and the Hui Ma was so frightened that he raised his front legs and stopped to neigh, and the Wucai people exclaimed on the horse: "Everyone, help!" Help, everyone! ”
The guards and courtiers in front stopped their horses, and Li Shimin turned his horse's head, stretched his bow and set up arrows, and shot 4 arrows in a row, killing 4 wild boars. Seeing that the emperor's bow was not in vain and the arrows were not in vain, the attendants on the left and right cheered and shouted long live!
Unexpectedly, a big wild boar broke through the encirclement and rushed straight to Li Shimin's green horse, and Tang Jian, the head of the household, jumped off the horse to block in front of the green horse stirrup and fought with the wild boar. Li Shimin took out his sword and cut off the pig's head with a sword, and said to Tang Jian with a smile: "Don't you see that Admiral Tiance is shooting thieves?" Why be so nervous? ”
Tang Jian replied: "Han Gaozu will win the world immediately, but he will not rule the world immediately, Your Majesty will pacify the Quartet with wisdom and martial arts, why should he be ambitious in a beast again?" ”
Li Shimin put his sword into the sheath, smiled and nodded, and said to everyone: "Today is over, everyone pack up and go back to the camp, take a rest, and prepare to taste rare game!" ”
The martial artist approached and saluted slightly, saying, "Thank you for pulling the bow to save the concubine!" ”
Li Shimin said: "Looking at your usual demeanor, I think you are a heroine, hey!" I never thought that you couldn't write a pen and write a sparse table, and you couldn't get on the horse and open a bow and arrow! Wu Mei, you have to continue to work hard! ”
Wu Cairen's face was red to the root of his ears, ashamed, but fortunately he had a hat on his head, and outsiders couldn't see it, and when he returned to Luoyang Palace, he fell on the bed and cried bitterly: "5555 ......, Your Majesty said that I can't write a pen and write a table, and Wu can't get on the horse and open a bow and arrow, 5555......"
Ah Hong comforted: "The lady's talent is not in these carving insect skills, but in the comprehensive ability." As long as you wait for the opportunity, you will always stand out. Wu Cairen shed tears and said: "I have a hunch that I will never be able to get into His Majesty's heart!" 5555...... "Crying so much that the flowers and branches trembled, and the pavilion shook.
Cui Cairen and Xiao Cairen were also stunned when they heard the cry, and went into the cabinet to comfort the martial arts talents, and complained to each other about falling out of favor. After Cui Cairen learned the ins and outs of the matter, he said: "Who is the one in the harem who writes the table? Isn't it Empress Wende? Who is the heroine who gets on the horse and opens the bow and arrow? Isn't it Princess Pingyang? Your Majesty compares outstanding women with her sister, doesn't that mean that your sister is outstanding? ”
Wu Cairen choked up and said, "So there is still hope for my sister?" Xiao Cairen said: "Of course there is hope!" My sister wants to have a figure, she wants to have a good look, and she is full of energy, strong and healthy, and she has never seen you look for medicine and medicine since she entered the palace! What like my sister is weak and sickly, and she can't help but be weak! ”
Under the comfort of their sisters, the martial arts people gradually became happy, and regained their spirits to devote themselves to a new day.
