Chapter 488: Changes in the East Palace

A few years ago, when Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling met Li Su for the first time and asked about the national policy, Li Su chanted a few lines of poems, which were to promote the Li family's bathroom sauna drawings.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Su came to play again as he did back then, the same poem, pinching the head and ending a paragraph to fool people.

Walking out of Qujiang Park, there was still a large group of guards in front of the door.

The hundred veterans of the Li family stood quietly at the gate of the garden more than ten zhang, compared with those brightly armored Yulin guards, the veterans of the Li family looked very mediocre, and they did not stand, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, and a cloth belt around their waists was so-so, looking like a group of ordinary old peasants who had no bright spots, a group of people gathered in a pile and whispered not knowing what to talk about, pointing in the direction of the strict queue from time to time, and the smile on his face was clearly a little sarcastic.

Fang Lao Wu has always been the leader of the veterans, the veterans have returned to the Li family, Fang Lao Wu is still the leader, seeing Li Su and Xu Mingzhu walking out together, Fang Lao Wu scolded a few words, and then kicked two feet at a few not very honest robes, and everyone stood in line.

Fang Lao Wu stepped forward, first sent Xu Mingzhu to the carriage, and then brought the horse to Li Su.

Li Su looked at him and smiled, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Fang Lao Wu grinned and said, "The villains are talking about these Royal Feather Forest Guards......"

Li Su was about to step on the horse, but when he heard Fang Lao Wuyi say, he suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the Yulin Guard?" ”

Fang Lao Wu said with a smile: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, it's okay, the armor is quite new, and it looks very majestic when draped on the upper body." ”

Li Su blinked, smacked the taste in these words, and said with a smile: "It's just a new armor?" What do you think of these Praetorian forces? ”

Fang Lao Wu suddenly showed a disdainful expression: "Force? The armor is new. The person who wears it is a good thing after all, and such a cowardly villain can catch and put down three. ”

These words were a bit loud, and the general of the Praetorian Guard on duty at the gate of the garden suddenly glanced at Fang Lao Wu, his face showed anger, and he snorted heavily, if it wasn't for his duty. I'm afraid that I have already rushed over to weigh Fang Lao Wu's condition.

Speaking of fighting for their lives, the 100 veterans of the Li family are all in charge, if they regard fighting as a professional skill, these 100 people can be described as experts, and what they do is licking blood at the tip of the knife, and they have been doing it for many years, in fact, they are all a group of people who are tired of killing people and returning to the field after they have unloaded their armor and returned to the field.

Seeing that the Praetorian Guard General was dissatisfied, Fang Lao Wu was not polite, and completely lost his previous humble attitude in front of Li Su. Yang pointed at the general and said, "Huh? If you're not convinced? If you are not convinced, you pick a time to come out to practice, saying that you are not happy to be cowardly, have you ever killed someone? Know where a knife can get in the fastest way to kill someone? Where does the fist and kick hurt the most? A stab can't be avoided, let it stab yourself where can you live? You know? ”

The Praetorian Guard's face became more and more ugly, not only him, but the entire team of Praetorian Guards standing at the gate of the garden had a bad look.

Fang Lao Wu snorted: "Wearing a new armor scares people? On the real killing array, you can only count hundreds of ten lives in your hands, and you can't even stand on the plate. Who did you bluff? ”

Li Su sighed, and didn't stop anywhere.

Supposedly, these Feather Forest Guards are actually good. At least in Li Su's eyes, it looks very good, the Yulin Praetorian Guard is the emperor's personal guard, and it is composed of elite soldiers drawn from each guard. There is no idea of treating the emperor as an enemy, and secondly, most of these guards have been in battle, and the government soldiers in these years are really not good, especially the guards around the emperor. It is not their turn to protect the emperor without any real skills, but in comparison, the wars they have experienced may not be as tragic as Fang Lao Wu, and their experience in the battle array and killing skills may be a little worse than Fang Lao Wu, so they ...... His Majesty the Emperor's Praetorian Guards were actually despised by this group of veterans who looked like old peasants.

"Shut up! Let's go, go home! Li Su reprimanded Fang Lao Wu, and then smiled apologetically at the Praetorian Guard General who was trembling with anger.

Fang Lao Wu was unwilling, snorted stupidly, and didn't forget to make up for it at the end when he left.

"The villain is not wrong, they are really a group of goods, Master Hou, you look at the head, not only is he unstable, but he also keeps swinging, he is simply an old and weak soldier, what does Your Majesty think, let this group of people be a guard......"

"Shut up! People are angry with you! ”

Li Su got on the horse, Fang Lao Wu held the reins, hundreds of veterans followed behind Xu Mingzhu's carriage, and the group walked towards the city gate.

At this time, it was already night, and Chang'an City had already had a curfew in the whole city on weekdays, and the gate of the city gate had fallen, but tonight was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Shimin had already ordered the curfew to be released tonight, and the whole city was high, so Li Su and his party walked unhurriedly.

As soon as everyone set off, there was a sudden chaotic footsteps in the west, and a person who looked like a eunuch led several guards to the gate of the garden in a panic.

The eunuch stomped his feet angrily: "I'm from the East Palace!" Let me go and see Your Majesty, something has happened in the East Palace! ”

The eunuch's voice was not small, Li Su suddenly reined in the horse and turned his head to look back, but saw that the general of the Praetorian Guard was checking the identity of the eunuch, and then waved his hand to let him in, but several guards who followed the eunuch were stopped outside the door.

The team didn't leave, Fang Lao Wu stood in front of the horse very interestingly, didn't look or ask, but Xu Mingzhu lifted the curtain and said softly: "Husband, why don't you leave?" ”

Li Suruo glanced at the garden gate meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go home." ”

Qujiang Garden, gazebo.

Li Shimin was still sitting alone in the pavilion in a daze, the sensible eunuch offered melons and fruits and a pot of wine, Li Shimin drank by himself, the breeze blew, with a little autumn coolness, Li Shimin put down the wine glass, and suddenly felt a strong loneliness.

Dominate the country, dominate the country, sweep the world with a large army, no one in the world dares to be the enemy, the supreme realm that the emperor pursues all his life, he has done it, but at this moment tonight, in this beautiful day of family reunion, why does he feel lonely like never before?

There are thousands of beauties in the palace, dozens of princesses, and they are all waiting in the Taiji Palace at the moment, waiting to reunite with him, drink and admire the moon, but Li Shimin suddenly didn't want to return to the cold palace.

The emperor has been the emperor for 14 years, all kinds of grievances and grievances, all kinds of righteous and unjust killings, like the clouds of the past, have passed away after all, Li Shimin is not young, he has passed the age of not being confused, once swept the world, so that every difficult enemy is sincerely afraid to crawl at his feet, waiting for his forgiveness The joy is now so unbearable in retrospect.

In this life, he had gained a lot, but he had lost even more, at least in the festive season that should be celebrated tonight, and he suddenly felt unhappy, and seemed to be not interested in anything.

Perhaps, like Li Su, who lives a lazy and leisurely life, laughing with the world and watching the flowers fall in the idle court, is actually not as bad as he imagined, compared with that young man, Li Shimin can't say who is happier and more comfortable between himself and him.

The chaotic footsteps broke the silence in the night, and also broke Li Shimin's sad mood.

At this hour, at this place, the owner of the footsteps is undoubtedly very uninteresting, Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at the end of the water pavilion, showing a little displeasure in his eyes.

After a while, a eunuch knelt in front of Li Shimin in a panic, his body trembling and saying, "Your Majesty, something has happened in the East Palace!" ”

"What?" Li Shimin's expression was no longer the sadness and loneliness just now, and a familiar sharp light appeared in his eyes, like a sharp sword that swallowed the edge in the night, piercing people's hearts.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is drunk,...... Somehow, he had a dispute with Zhang Xuansu, the right concubine of the prince of Shaozhan, and Yu Zhining, the left concubine of the prince, and ......, "The eunuch's voice became smaller and quieter, and finally he hesitated.

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, he slapped the stone table heavily, and said angrily: "Go on!" ”

The eunuch trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head: "...... The prince was drunk, and drank so that the prince led the soldiers to take down Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu, and wanted to scold the two. ”
