In the sixth year of Zhenguan, July 19

The Ghost King Army was ready early in the morning, and the team was neatly arranged outside the city, waiting quietly. When the first rays of sunlight shone on the city walls of Dengzhou, dozens of carriages slowly drove through the city gates.

The leader is the carriage of the Wushuang Hou family! They will recognize it by looking at the family crest on it.

Further back, it was the carriage of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and the carriage should be the car of Wang Fugui's shopkeeper.

Looking back again, it was the carriage of Bai Yulou, and the carriages of the three families drove over together. The Ghost King Army was the leader of the army hurriedly greeted the past, and before he could open his mouth to speak, he heard a noise behind the carriage, and when he came closer, he found that behind the carriage was actually a dense crowd of people, carrying small baskets in their hands, which contained some dried fish, or flatbread and other food.

The Ghost King Army understood what was going on at a glance, after all, it was not the first time they had experienced this matter, they had experienced it once before when they went to fight the Turks with Hou Ye. But this kind of scene really doesn't feel too much after watching it a few times!

"Master Hou! Let's stay for two days! ”

"Master Hou! When will you come to Dengzhou again? ”

"That's it, Master Hou! Our family's lives were saved by you, Master Hou! The villain will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life! ”

"Master Hou! Don't go! ”

The call of the people sounded behind the carriage, in fact, this morning, Su Bai got up early in the morning, and he should have come here to join the Ghost King Army a long time ago. But I don't know where the people of Dengzhou learned the news that Su Bai was about to leave, and when Lu Dafang opened the door in the morning, he saw that the Wushuang Marquis Mansion was surrounded by the people, it was called a dense crowd!

The frightened Lu Dafang thought that these people were here to rob, and just as he was about to call someone, he heard a common man say, "This gentleman, the Marquis of Wushuang is going back to Beijing today?" Lu Dafang was a little frightened, and subconsciously nodded, and then the people exploded, and began to cry and shout for Su Bai to stay in Dengzhou and not to leave.

Su Bai heard the sound, and when he came to the courtyard, he saw the people kneeling on the ground!

It is impossible to say that he is not moved, of course, it is definitely impossible to say that he stays, even if Su Bai agrees, Li Shimin will definitely not agree, he now does not dare to leave Su Bai alone outside.

Su Bai could only help the older ones up first, so that these people could make way for them, but then no matter how Su Bai persuaded them, these people didn't listen and insisted on sending Su Bai, which led to a scene at the city gate.

When these people saw the ghost king's army outside the door, they walked towards them with small baskets in their hands. The horses of the Ghost King Army were already full of souvenirs they had bought, and the blankets on both sides of the horse's belly were also full of things. As if they hadn't seen anything, the people found all the gaps where they could put their stuff and stuffed the food in their hands.

These ghost kings stared at Su Bai with some confusion. Su Bai sighed and said, "Don't look at me, take it, this is a little bit of the villagers' hearts"

After hearing this, the ghost king's army relieved themselves and began to help the people put things on their horses.

An old lady who can be at least sixty years old came to Su Bai with a crutch, the average life expectancy of Datang is not high, it seems that it is rare for people to live to this age. The old lady's eyes were already a little cloudy, and she came to Su Bai's horse tremblingly, Su Bai hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and supported the old lady.

After the old lady saw Su Bai, she was about to kneel down and kowtow as soon as she threw the crutch in her hand, but Su Bai stopped her.

"Master Hou! Let the old woman kowtow to you, without you, the old woman's son and grandson are all going to die in that country, you saved them, you saved our old Chen family! ”

"Old woman, don't be like this, aren't you tormenting me" Su Bai hurriedly explained, but the people were more and more surrounded, so much that Su Bai's war horse could not move an inch!

Su Bai sighed, he really didn't have any good way to solve this kind of scene, and he had the means for the enemy Su Bai, but for this kind of grateful people, Su Bai really didn't know how to get along with them.

Now that they have surrounded their horses, when will they be able to return to Chang'an?

Fortunately, at this time, Yuan Hong saw Su Bai's difficulty, stood up and said, "Everyone, put the people! Your gratitude to my lord, my lord knows it! But now, my marquis is going back to the court to be rewarded! Please also let me add a way out of the Hou Ye"

When the people heard this, they looked left and right, but they still made a way out.

They were grateful to Su Bai, so they didn't want Su Bai to miss the court's reward because of them. Su Bai sighed, what kind people this is, but what a tragic thing has happened. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Su Bai's eyes, the Li family of Zhaojun! It's all because of you! Our account, when I go back to Chang'an, let's calculate it slowly!

Li Chengqian in Chang'an has not yet received the news of Su Bai's landing, and the distance between the two is a little far, and there are still some difficulties in transmitting information, but this does not delay Li Chengqian from starting to prepare.

The first thing to prepare is to let Bai Yulou let out the rumors, the prince is about to move to the prince's mansion! All those who are capable, those who want to prove themselves, can prepare and go to the crown prince!

Tuo Subai's blessing, Li Chengqian's reputation among the people is still very high! Because of Zhenguan potatoes, the people of Datang know that this was discovered by Li Chengqian and Su Bai together, and spread together, and now after planting for a few years, they can already see the yield of potatoes!

The only regret is that one is not well stored, and one bad is a large piece!

And because of Su Bai, everyone knows that Li Chengqian, the prince, likes to promote the children of the poor family very much, which undoubtedly gives the children of the poor family a reassurance, as long as you have the ability! You'll be able to get ahead!

If you want to say that what can make these capable people hesitate, it is Li Chengqian's legs. Because of what Su Bai said to him before, Li Chengqian did not announce the news to the outside world! Li Shimin knew, but he didn't reveal it to the outside world.

Li Tai should also know, but is it good for him to say it? There is no benefit at all, but because of Li Chengqian's lameness, many ministers came to join him, and he was happy to let Li Chengqian pretend to be lame. Li Tai especially wanted to know if he could continue to pretend to be lame when more than half of the courtiers had defected to him!

Li Chengqian was actually anxious himself, especially when he saw those courtiers turning to his brother's arms! There is only one person around him who can use it now, Su Bai! Although Wei Zheng, Cheng Yanjin and others are all counted as people in his camp, can he command the move? People will only help him say a sentence and a half at a critical time, and it is more appropriate to say that they are just partial to themselves rather than their own people.

But all of this is vulnerable in the face of his trust in Su Bai! His confidence in Su Bai was even stronger than his confidence in himself!

Li Chengqian's Prince's Mansion is not far from Su Bai's mansion, and it is also on Suzaku Street, which has now been completed. Because of the frugality that Empress Changsun and Li Shimin have always advocated, the Prince's Mansion is not very luxurious, it is about the same size as Su Bai's mansion, and it even looks a little shabby than Su Bai's mansion.

At this time, Li Chengqian was taking a leisurely walk in the mansion, and the people in the prince's mansion on the side knelt down after seeing Li Chengqian. Gonggong Qiu behind him was holding a small wooden plate with pen and ink on it, which was used to record Li Chengqian's opinions.

If there is anything Li Chengqian is not satisfied with, Gonggong Qiu will record it in the case, and while there is still time, it will be convenient to revise it.

Walking and walking, Li Chengqian came to the location of the main house, which is also where he will live in the future, he looked at the wing room on the left side of the main house and said, "This place will be left to my virtuous brother in the future!" ”

Gonggong Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then came to Li Chengqian's side and said, "Your Highness, this is a back house after all, and they are all female dependents, it is a little inappropriate to leave this to the Wushuang Marquis, our prince's mansion is large, and it is also in the front yard."

"That's it!"

Before Gonggong Qiu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian's voice was categorical and full of undoubted domineering! Father-in-law Qiu didn't even dare to look at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong with the back house?" Taboo? Hehehe! ”

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he walked into the main mansion, and behind him, Gonggong Qiu sighed secretly, this highness trusts Wushuang Marquis so much, and I don't know if it is a good thing, if Wushuang Marquis wants to trap His Royal Highness the Prince, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Then Gonggong Qiu thought of his descendant Qiu Fu, who was now Su Bai's chief disciple, thinking of this, his old face couldn't help but bring a smile, presumably, Wushuang Hou would never do that kind of thing!

Li Shimin went down to the court and came to the side of the eldest grandson, now Li Zhi has been able to run all over the ground, after seeing Li Shimin coming, he opened his little short legs, stretched out his hands, and shouted "Father, father, hug" while running

Li Shimin only felt that the fatigue of the day was all gone, laughed and hugged Li Zhi, and the old bearded face rubbed on Li Zhi's little face, making Li Zhi giggle. Empress Changsun saw that they were almost playing, so she said loudly, "Okay, okay, your father has been tired for a day, come down quickly, let your father rest and rest."

"Hmm"

Li Zhi said yes cutely, and then he 'jumped' in Li Shimin's arms. Li Shimin smiled and rubbed Li Zhi's little head and asked, "Pheasant slave, what has Mr. taught you in the past two days?" ”

Li Zhi said cutely, "Mr. taught me to learn calligraphy", Li Shimin deliberately wondered, and then pretended to say, "Then my father is going to test you, go, go over there and write out all the words you have learned in the past two days, and my father will see if you write correctly."

As soon as Li Zhi heard this, he straightened up his small chest and ran towards the pen and ink, he was very confident in himself.

After seeing Li Zhi running away, Empress Eldest Sun gently walked to Li Shimin's side, pulled Li Shimin aside, rubbed his temples for him and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything to worry about?" ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "It's still the queen who knows me."

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Husband and wife are one, Your Majesty may as well tell me if you have any worries, even if the concubines can't share your worries for Your Majesty, Your Majesty can be easier to say."

Li Shimin sighed, gently grabbed the jade hand of Empress Changsun and said, "Wushuang Hou, I'm coming back soon", I can clearly feel that there is a pause in Empress Changsun's movements, Empress Changsun is an unusually smart woman! Li Shimin's simple sentence, she already knew what made Li Shimin so embarrassed!

At the beginning, it was Li Shimin who always whispered in her ear, saying that he had found an interesting little point and invented some strange things, but everything was very useful!

Later, it was Cheng Qian who mentioned this name in front of her, and that afternoon, Li Chengqian ran into the palace in a hurry and said to her, "Queen Mother, I have met a very, very interesting friend!" ”

Then, he was about to mention this Wang Chouniu once in almost three sentences, so the name was silently remembered by her in her heart, and it was not until Li Chengqian's leg was lame that he became silent, and the name gradually disappeared from her ears.

But then! The name of the Wushuang Marquis swept the entire Tang Dynasty! Who doesn't know that the Tang Dynasty Wushuang Hou Sheng captured the Turkic Jieli Khan? She heard the name Wang Chouniu again! It was also at this moment that she found that her husband, who was smiling every time she mentioned Wang Chouniu, began to frown gradually.

She knew in her heart what was going on, because everything Li Shimin had experienced, she was by his side and had experienced it together. She also knew what Li Shimin was worried about now, but she didn't have a good way to comfort Li Shimin.

What do you ask a mother to say? Say to your husband, "Don't worry! Won't my son rebel against us? She has not forgotten how her husband became the emperor, nor how she became the queen!

Now hearing Li Shimin's words, she knows in her heart that from this moment on, it will be difficult for the monarch and the minister, father and son, to go back to the past, some things, once there is a crack, it is difficult to repair, even if you have exhausted all means!

Empress Changsun's heart turned a thousand times, but on the surface, she just made a faint hum, and her hand resumed her movements again, and said softly and slowly, "So what?" Your Majesty! The corners of Li Shimin's mouth hooked up a smile slightly, and his whole body was light, yes, so what? But your majesty! Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival

On that day, Li Chengqian received the news that Su Bai was about to arrive in Chang'an, taking the official road, Li Chengqian took his subordinates to go, and next to the official road ten miles away from Chang'an, a pavilion "Wushuang Pavilion" was built a few months ago, which was specially used to welcome Su Bai!

Although the road is long, there will be a return date

Su Bai, it's time to Chang'an
