How many steps from Chengtianmen to Ganlu Hall were in total, Li Su hadn't calculated, he wasn't as boring as He Fuyan.

It's just that when he entered the palace today, Li Su's steps were very heavy, as if every step he took was one step closer to the abyss, and when he came to the end, he would inevitably end up jumping.

There was a faint regret in my heart.

It was so sudden, so suddenly that I didn't even have time to say goodbye to her, and I didn't have time to hug her again.

Ganlu Hall is located at the junction of the middle palace and the harem of the Taiji Palace, strictly speaking, it is the range of the middle palace, Li Shimin often summons courtiers in the Ganlu Hall to discuss state affairs, because the Ganlu Hall is the closest hall to the harem, so the courtiers who can be summoned by him in the Ganlu Hall are usually very close to the favored ministers.

Li Su walked not fast, passed through the Jiade Gate, Zhu Ming Gate and Liangyi Gate, and saw the eaves of the clouds on the top of the Ganlu Hall from a distance.

There was a cry of surprise behind him, Li Su turned around in astonishment, but saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids surrounding a young girl in a green palace dress, the girl ignored the obstruction of the eunuchs and palace maids, picked up the skirt of the high-waisted palace skirt without any manners, and ran towards him in a bouncing manner.

Despite his heavy heart, Li Su smiled.

I haven't seen Princess Gaoyang for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet her in the palace today.

"I know that this palace was grounded by my father, so you came to the palace to play with me?" When he met an acquaintance in the boring inner palace, Gao Yang was in a happy mood.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, time is pressing, I don't have time to say more, can you do me a favor?"

Gao Yang wrinkled his nose and put on the princess's shelf: "Bold fanatic, as soon as you meet, you will ask for the help of this palace, who are you in this palace......

As he spoke, Gao Yang's expression gradually became wrong.

She found that Li Su's face was very pale, and she had seen such an expression on the faces of those courtiers who were about to be in danger when she was hiding behind the Taiji Hall to peek at the courtiers' meeting.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Su sighed: "For the sake of this friendship with the minister in the past, the minister hopes that His Royal Highness can send someone to Taiping Village......"

***************************************************************

Li Su walked into the Manna Hall. Stepping into the high threshold, you will be greeted by a suffocating atmosphere.

The white footcoat stepped on the smooth wooden floor, and the steps were silent.

I have been in and out of the Manna Hall many times, and I have never been so sad and overwhelmed as I am today.

The inside of the main hall was quiet, like an isolated wooden box. There was not a single murmur in the box, and there was not a trace of light.

From the threshold to the hall, Li Su walked nine steps, then stopped and saluted the middle-aged man with a gloomy face on the main seat in the hall.

"Minister Li Su, I am ordered to meet His Majesty."

As if a stone sank into the sea, without any response, Li Shimin did not say a word, and Li Su had to maintain the posture of bowing and saluting. Immovable for a long time.

There was an unspeakable soreness in his waist, and it was very tiring to maintain such a posture, Li Su gritted his teeth and insisted, and beads of sweat came out of his body drop by drop.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin finally snorted coldly: "That's it, sit down." ”

Li Su sat down as he said.

The main hall continued to fall silent.

Li Shimin is a master of creating a terrifying atmosphere, and he can drive people crazy without saying a word, and Li Su is very lucky. Today, I can taste this kind of torment.

After a long time, Li Shimin probably felt that the terrifying atmosphere was enough to capture people's morale. That's when he spoke.

"Li Su, I heard that you have been much more diligent than before when you went to the Firearms Bureau recently, and you were equipped with two thousand catties of gunpowder last month, but is there such a thing?"

Li Su lowered his eyelids and arched his hand: "It's just the duty of the minister." ”

Very satisfied with the answer, Li Shimin nodded and continued: "I also heard that you have been making winter greens at home recently. If this matter is successful, the merit is immeasurable, and this merit is no less than the treatment of smallpox, the strategy of making gunpowder and pushing Enxue Yantuo can be called the fourth great merit you have made for the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty is falsely praised. The minister did not dare to be. ”

Li Shimin gradually showed a smile on his face, and said as if sighing: "A teenage baby, it is also a ...... of creating gunpowder, dedicating national policies, and planting green vegetables, these things have been done from beginning to end in less than a year, don't say that the world's talents, even I can't do such feats at your age, it's really not simple, Li Su, I and Datang Sheji are so fortunate to be able to get such a good talent as you, I am looking forward to it, looking forward to how much credit you will make for Datang in your lifetime, Datang because of you, What a sea change will happen......"

Li Su's heart gradually sank into the bottomless abyss.

The words are good words, and every sentence is praising him, but Li Su knows that Li Shimin's words are just foreshadowing, and the storm is waiting for him behind.

"The minister is a Tang minister, and he should be loyal to the society, which is just the duty of the minister."

Li Shimin laughed: "Since you entered the hall, you have said four sentences, two of which said the word 'duty', I ask you, are you really duty?" ”

Li Su's eyelids jumped, and he instantly heard the blade hidden in his words.

The thing that should be faced must always be faced, and when things come to this point, Li Su can no longer escape, it doesn't matter whether he advances or retreats, and the ending is only in Li Shimin's thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, Li Su raised his head and looked directly at Li Shimin, and said, "Yes, the minister is a responsible person, even if he has to have affection, it is also from the heart." ”

is a very inexplicable sentence, and the wonderful thing is that Li Shimin actually understood, not only did he understand, but he even showed an unpredictable smile on his face.

"So, relying on the merits you have made, you have grown a bold courage to covet things that should not be coveted?" Li Shimin's smiling face revealed a coldness like 10,000 years of ice.

Li Su also laughed, when such a catastrophe was coming, he actually laughed.

"The minister just said, 'Love has to be done.'"

A black shadow roared in, Li Su was startled, subconsciously dodged, turned his head to look, but it was a yellow-soled soft boot, and then looked at the palace, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Shimin turned his face instantly, his smile was no longer goodbye, and his face was full of lightning and thunderous rage.

"Bastard thing, is 'love a last resort' the reason why you covet Princess Dongyang? I treat you as a countryman, how can you repay me? It's come to this, and you still don't know your sin? Li Shimin roared hoarsely.

Li Su sighed, all the panic and fear before entering the hall just now were completely gone at this moment. In the face of Li Shimin's anger, his mood was extremely calm at the moment.

Since coming to this strange era, I have been constantly forbearing, constantly laughing, smiling at people, and smiling at ghosts. The spider spits silk like a silk constantly managing the cobwebs between his own square inches, using emotions and interests, using all kinds of methods to win over the powerful and curry favor with the emperor, and even causing trouble has become a deliberate self-preservation strategy, and what he does is nothing more than to live in this peaceful and prosperous world, and live a little better.

However, he was already tired of this qiē, tired of this kind of day of walking on thin ice cautiously anytime and anywhere.

It's even more ridiculous. No matter how careful you are, you can't avoid the catastrophe that is coming.

If so, why be careful?

In the face of Li Shimin's thunderous anger, Li Su suddenly smiled, and his smile was brighter than the sun.

Raising his head and looking directly at Li Shimin, Li Su's eyes showed stubbornness and stubbornness that no one had ever seen, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he saw the look in Li Su's eyes clearly. This kind of stubbornness and stubbornness has changed since the Xuanwu Gate. After stepping on the blood of his brother to ascend the throne, he was never seen again.

Staring at Li Shimin, Li Su's tone was very slow, and every word was very slow.

"What is the sin of two lovers?"

…………

…………

Li Su entered the palace but did not come out again.

The furious Li Shimin finally saved his face and did not put Li Su in the prison of Dali Temple. Instead, he ordered the palace people to put him under house arrest in the Anren Palace, a remote palace next to the cold palace.

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin's anger became more and more high, Li Su's fearlessness, and Li Su's defense. Li Su's arrogant eyes pierced Li Shimin's heart like a needle, compared to his personal relationship with Princess Dongyang, Li Su's attitude towards him just now seemed to make him more angry.

There was also a trace of incomprehension in the anger, this kid who used to seem to be submissive, where did he get the courage today, and he was not afraid of the imperial power at all.

Anyway, Li Su and Dongyang did something that shamed the heavenly family, Li Shimin cares too much about reputation, because he has lost his reputation, so he is especially important to reputation.

Pacing back and forth rapidly in the main hall, Li Shimin seemed to want to vent the anger in his heart in this way, and the palace people outside the hall hung their heads in panic, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that making a sound would make their heads fall to the ground.

I don't know how long I walked back and forth, Li Shimin paused, and his face showed a resolute look.

We must not let it go any longer!

What about the many credits you make? After all, he was only born in a civilian peasant household, and the marriage with the family gate valve is what he needs, and it is what today's politics needs, no matter how great the personal credit is, compared with the support of the gate valve forces, it is really not worth mentioning.

Almost without any hesitation, Li Shimin decided the ending of Li Su and Dongyang.

"Someone!"

A trembling eunuch appeared outside the temple gate.

Li Shimin waved his robe sleeves fiercely: "The Ministry of Rites intends to give marriage, the ninth daughter of the emperor, Princess Dongyang, and the eldest son of Shang Shenguo, Gao will fulfill it, and order the Taishi Bureau to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac within ten days to complete the marriage as soon as possible!" The guards of Princess Dongyang's Mansion were all replaced, and the Jin Wuwei guards were sent on duty, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. ”

In a word, there is little easier.

The eunuch wrote them down one by one and left in a hurry.

After making this will, Li Shimin closed his eyes, as if he had solved a major matter that had been hanging in his heart for a long time, and exhaled softly.

…………

…………

Li Shimin hurriedly gave the marriage. The original intention was not entirely to beat the mandarin ducks, he had been the emperor for more than ten years, he knew that the words of the people in the court were terrible, and the private relationship between Li Su and Dongyang was afraid that it would be used by others.

From another point of view, Li Shimin also has a trace of the idea of protecting Li Su.

Talents are rare, and talents like Li Su are even more rare.

From his cure of smallpox, his encouragement, to the invention of gunpowder...... Pile by piece, quietly change the Tang Dynasty in a silent way, I didn't feel it at first, but after a long time, I can find that he offered the push grace policy to make the strategic situation of the Tang Dynasty in the north from defensive to offensive, and the earth-shattering thunder he invented made the veterans more and more confident, and the morale of the Tang Dynasty soldiers was like a rainbow, and the small object became the most important trump card of the Tang Army's expedition to the Quartet, and now he is still specializing in how to grow green vegetables in winter......

After counting it carefully, even Li Shimin couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

This young man as gentle as jade has done so many things in just one year, and in time, what about ten years and twenty years from now? How much credit will he make for Datang?

Datang needs to change too much. From people's livelihood to the military, the monarch and the minister have worked hard for more than ten years to recuperate, in order to create a strong and prosperous world? Troubled times need generals who are powerful in the world, and prosperous times need talents who govern the world.

So with a talent like Li Su, Li Shimin is really reluctant to kill him.

So Li Suzai has an affair with the princess. After recklessly confronting the emperor, he was still alive, not because of the emperor's mercy, but because of his own value.

Self-worth is the foundation of life.

***************************************************************

Taiping Village, Princess Dongyang's Mansion.

Dongyang sat in the pavilion in the mansion, with a set of exquisite tea sets in front of him.

Cooking tea is a very tedious and elegant thing, every action detail, every flavor added to the ingredients. are related to every sentence of Confucianism, and the ups and downs in tea seem to reflect the whole life.

Unaware of the impending catastrophe, Dongyang was in a very happy mood at the moment, cooking tea was such a strict thing, but she was humming an unknown little song while elegantly carrying out every process of cooking tea.

The final process is done, and the delicate small tea cup is filled with steaming tea soup. With a gentle shake of the plain hand, the thick flavor overflows with a refreshing tea fragrance.

Dongyang brought the tea cup to his red lips. Take a careful sip, and then her pretty face will crumplify.

"It's so hard to drink...... Dongyang spit out his fragrant tongue, a rare naughty look.

Putting down the teacup and refusing to look at it again, Dongyang held his cheeks and looked boredly at the small lake that was about to freeze.

"Call him into the house tomorrow. Let him taste the tea I cooked, I haven't cooked tea for him for so long......" Dongyang's eyes showed a strong affection, a typical stupid woman who was intoxicated in love.

An intoxicating smile appeared in his eyes again, and Dongyang unconsciously wrinkled his nose. Cover your mouth and chuckle to yourself: "...... But such a bad tea, I'm afraid he will vomit when he smells it, no matter what, he must drink it, and pour it into his mouth. ”

muttered to himself, laughed inexplicably, in the cold winter wind, the charm in his eyes was more sultry than the spring breeze.

Loneliness is always very long, like a winter night.

Yu Yu sighed, and Dongyang's expression became hateful again.

"Bad guys! I didn't even say hello early in the morning, and I didn't know where to go, so I was blown by the cold wind on the river beach all morning......"

Immersed in sweet loneliness alone, Dongyang stared at the lake in a daze, laughing stupidly, complaining stupidly, and sighing stupidly.

There were noisy voices in the vestibule of the princess's mansion, some noisy, some crying.

Interrupted by the sweet conjecture, Dongyang frowned, turned his head to look, but saw the little palace maid Lu Liu hurriedly running towards the pavilion with a pale face.

Dongyang's heart sank, the world in his eyes suddenly dimmed, and an ominous feeling came to his heart.

"Your Highness is not good!" The green willow panted and ran to the gazebo, tears of anxiety in her clear eyes.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to announce the decree!"

Dongyang tried to ask calmly, "What is the decree?" ”

Green Willow shook his head quickly: "The slave maid doesn't know, but with the angel who came with the decree, there is also a team of Jinwuwei soldiers, as soon as they entered the door, they took down all the guards in our mansion, and the guards on duty in the princess's mansion have been taken over by Jinwuwei......"

Dongyang trembled, and the disaster was like a sudden thunderbolt, which exploded on his head.

"Go...... Go to the main hall to receive the decree! Dongyang gritted his teeth and said.

The master and servant hurried to the main hall.

In the main hall of the princess's mansion, a eunuch wearing a purple brocade robe stood in the hall, seeing Dongyang coming in a hurry, the eunuch first saluted Dongyang, and then slowly unfolded the yellow silk in his hand, and pronounced it expressionlessly.

After the complicated foreshadowing, the eunuch finally read out the main topic of the will: "...... The ninth daughter of the emperor, Princess Dongyang, the eldest son of the Duke of Shangshen Guo, the ancestral hall Lang Zhonggao, fulfilled the auspicious day selected by the Taishi Bureau, that is, the big wedding, Qinzai. ”

Dongyang's pretty face instantly lost its blood color and became a miserable white.

After the eunuch finished reading, he didn't see movement for a long time, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Princess Dongyang's body shaking crumblingly, tears falling like rain, falling on the smooth ground one by one, soaking a piece.

"Princess...... Your Royal Highness Princess, here, please also ask Your Highness to receive the decree. The eunuch called carefully, and originally wanted to say a few auspicious words of congratulations, but looking at the princess's current appearance, this congratulations seemed out of place, and the eunuch had to shut up.

Dongyang's body shook more and more, and the green willow behind him was in a hurry, quietly reaching out behind him to stabilize Dongyang's body.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

In the soft call of the green willow, Dongyang finally came back to his senses, and his eyes were empty and wooden.

The eunuch looked at the yellow silk he was holding in his hand, and said in embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness Princess, no matter what...... Please also ask Your Highness to receive the will first, the slave and maid can't go back to the palace to pay the errand. ”

Dongyang's body no longer swayed, but he showed an extremely resolute expression.

"Go back and tell my father, Dongyang belongs to others physically and mentally, and this life is unswerving, if you want me to marry my second husband again, it's just death!"

After speaking, Dongyang finally couldn't suppress a stream of reverse blood in his chest, and with a pop, a mouthful of blood rain spewed out from the sky, and then fainted softly.
