Chapter 1 A Letter from the King of Shu (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
In the bright yellow curtain, there is a breeze swaying, and the mellow sandalwood fragrance lightly fills the entire room.
This is a palatial dormitory, on the luxurious couch, the splendid quilt is moved, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man with long black hair and a graceful face drills the quilt, opens his eyes, looks stunned, and his face instantly freezes.
"Damn, where is this? Oh my God, is it ...... Is it a luxurious presidential suite!? ”
"Who the is cheating on me, carrying me here, and when I go out to settle the bill, it will cost me a month's salary Li Ke......."
The man raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the clothes on his body, and shouted "", "", "".
Which filthy ghosts teased me Li Ke, and even stripped off Lao Tzu's newly bought suit and put on a costume?
The man got up and went to the ground, and it could be seen that he was wearing a bright yellow robe, with a yellow silk python belt around his waist, a piece of emerald green jade pendant, and a hanging gold silk tassel......... This outfit is just like the dress of the fourth elder brother in the "Huanzhu Gege" TV.
A young man with a surprised face, named Li Ke, although he was the former champion of a prestigious school before this, but after a series of things, he could only get a poor dick with a low salary. Because of an online relationship, I used my true feelings to meet, but I knew that the other party was a pseudo-mother, and I snatched the apple I just bought8.
In anger and helplessness, Li Ke finally got rid of that guy and brainwashed himself with alcohol at a street stall alone, naturally he was drunk and didn't know the direction, and when he woke up, he saw that he was staying in this luxurious room.
Just as he was wondering, the carved mahogany door "creaked" open, and a man in ancient costume with a whisk in his hand walked in, like a palace eunuch, and even his voice was like a duck gong, but he was terrified: "Damn it, I don't know that Your Highness got up early today, and the Shouwu lotus seed soup has not yet been stewed!" ”
Shou Wu lotus seed soup!
Hey..... The specifications of this hotel are really extraordinary, and such high-end food is served for breakfast?
No way...... I have to think about slipping away, I remember that my pockets were empty yesterday, but I can't be the one who is wronged and slaughtered!
So he waved his hand and said, "Then wait outside, I still have to pee!" ”
"Yes.... Yes, as commanded by His Highness. ”
The man in ancient costume hunched his waist and walked backwards, gently closing the mahogany gate again.
He meowed, even His Highness shouted, and I don't know how much money should I charge for this "Your Highness"?
Li Ke was slandering himself in his heart, and his brain suddenly froze, like a sharp pain like a pinprick, and then there was a "click" sound, as if the computer keyboard was "crackling", followed by a stiff voice: "Welcome to the return of the host's spirit, activate the golden book house carried in the previous life." ”
The Soul Returns...... The Golden Book House? What kind of fantasy is this?
Li Ke was suddenly shocked and inexplicable, and when he closed his eyes, he felt that the sharp pain in his brain disappeared, and he heard the stiff voice in his head: "You...... Finally came back, returned to the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan for ten years, although it was eight years late, it was not a big deal. ”
Li Ke was even more surprised and shouted, "Who are you?" Who am I? ”
"Click, Click, Click......"
In my mind, a text immediately floated out -
Li Ke, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the third son of Tian Khan, the official title of King of Shu, awarded the governor of Yizhou, under the jurisdiction of Yimian Jian Jialing Yamei Qianqiong, a total of 36 states. He did not go to his post at a young age, and he led the governor of the capital from afar, and now lives in the Chang'an Imperial Palace-Qitian Palace.
Groove ....... What the heck?
Could it be that Lao Tzu was drunk once, just like the protagonist of the online text in his previous life......
", I just woke up not long ago, and I ...... again" At this time, the strong desire to sleep appeared again, and he was powerless to resist....fainted again.
……
I don't know how long it took, Li Ke, who was lying at the foot of the bed, woke up, and saw through the curtain that it was extremely dark outside the window, obviously the sun was setting, and it was night.
"Ah, have I been asleep all day?"
When he woke up this time, he suddenly had some new memories in his head. In addition to being one of the five good young men of the 21st century in his previous life, he also sensed another memory of his identity, Li Ke - the third son of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!
Groove ...... Is it because I have the same name as the short-lived prince?
Hey, my rich professor father, why did you choose me such a name? Didn't you expect that the person named "Li Ke" was a short-lived ghost thousands of years ago?
Indeed, Li Ke, the king of Wu of the Tang Dynasty, was a short-lived ghost, although he had infinite scenery during his lifetime, he was framed because of the palace dispute, and was hanged in the fourth year of Yonghui (653) in the Chang'an Palace at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
This point, as a former champion of a famous school, is very clear!
Mom, spicy lumps! In this life, I have reached the age of seventeen, and if I follow the development of the historical trajectory, I will only have seventeen years of life left in my life!
People who have died once, the thirst for that life is even stronger, Li Ke's heart is suddenly filled with infinite resentment, and his thoughts are tossing and turning.
No, it must not be allowed to develop, Lao Tzu finally crossed and was reborn, how could he live for another seventeen years and die?
If the salted fish doesn't jump, how can it turn over?
And at this time, a messenger eunuch came to the door of his dormitory and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the little one is ordered by the emperor to invite His Royal Highness the King of Shu to go to the Ganlu Palace, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”
"I'm tired of my father-in-law, please ask my father-in-law to return to my father, and say that this king is sick and can't go." He, oh no, Li Ke said to the messenger eunuch.
At this time, Li Ke fused all the memories of his previous life and this life, and naturally knew that this matter of discussion must be the matter of promoting him to King Wu.
"It's... The emperor blames it, how can the small one bear it? The messenger eunuch complained bitterly.
"Father-in-law, when you go back, tell the emperor that the king is sick and it is inconvenient to move around, I think the emperor can understand." Li Ke thought slightly and said.
"What His Highness said is that the little one will go back and explain this matter to the emperor." After the eunuch listened, he wanted to leave the palace of the king of Shu.
Li Ke knew that he himself was the king of Shu, and his fief was far away in the land of Bashu in the Western Wilderness, but the king of Wu belonged to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and its richness and Shu land were one in the sky and one in the ground. Therefore, the king of Shu changed his title to the king of Wu, although it was a difference of one word, the status was not comparable.
But the higher the status, the stronger the power struggle of Xuanjin, and the closer Li Ke is to death; And Tang Taizong's move is bound to push him into the fire pit, how can he express that he has no intention of participating in the seizure of the crown?
"Do you use the Golden Book House for searching?" The stiff sound from before echoed in my head again.
"The Golden Book House? Is it possible to search for verses that have no intention of competing for the prince? Li Ke also asked with the intention of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"The search was successful, and the verses are as follows: ... What about the prince of the Tang Dynasty...... The common people have slept, and I have not slept..."
"Father-in-law, wait, wait for this king to write a letter, and you will give it to your father later." Li Ke's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped the messenger eunuch who was about to step out of the palace gate.
The time of a stick of incense passed, and under Li Ke's dragon flying and phoenix dance, with the help of the Golden Book House, this letter was finally completed.
After the eunuch got this letter and hid it in his sleeve, he said goodbye to the king of Shu and went back to report it.
"Like me, Li Ke, who has mixed Sui and Tang bloodlines, no matter how good his literary skills are, it is impossible to inherit the unification, it is better to reveal his thoughts, be an idle king, and be at ease in this Chang'an City." Li Ke thought to himself in his heart.
……
Let's talk about the manna hall at this moment.
There are a total of five princes under Tang Taizong's knee who are adults at this time, and the rest of the princes have all been ordered to go to the Ganlu Hall to be assessed, leaving Li Ke, the king of Shu, who has not yet been assessed, because...
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is reluctant to come, and he doesn't let the little one continue to persuade, and the little one has no choice but to come back and report."
At this time, a messenger eunuch hurriedly entered the palace and reported.
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Has the King of Shu said the reason?" ”
The messenger eunuch who came in just now didn't know how to answer, hesitated for a while, and said, "The king of Shu said that he couldn't come because he was sick. ”
"Presumably, His Royal Highness the King of Shu must be feeling unwell, so in order to show a better image in front of the emperor, he dismissed the eunuch." Seeing that Li Shimin's brows were furrowed even tighter, Wang De, the eunuch in charge of internal affairs, said in a low voice: "Since there is a reason for the incident, the emperor might as well test another day." ”
Li Shimin frowned again.
Li Ke, his third son, just turned eighteen years old this year, although he has been crowned the king of Shu, but he did not go to the fiefdom immediately like other princes and kings, what do you say? This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Earlier, Li Shimin heard that this son was stubborn, only greedy for fun, but never knew how to study hard, so that the bachelors who served as royal teachers had been complaining in private.
Therefore, this son was naturally considered to have no talent in the world, so he was not on the list of crown princes in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The main purpose of this summons is to send him away, after all, it is now necessary to start to establish the candidate for the prince, and it is not conducive to the selection of too many people.
But he never thought that this son would not even dare to come to my summons today, which made Li Shimin feel angry in his heart.
But thinking of his identity, Li Shimin had no choice but to silently return to the dragon chair and sit down, his face gloomy as if a thunderstorm.
"Your Majesty...", the eunuch began to hesitate again after speaking.
"If you have something to say, don't say it anymore if it's still like that, I don't listen!" Li Shimin said with a slight anger.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu asked the little one to present a letter to the emperor before the little one left." The messenger took out a letter from his sleeve and knelt on the ground with both hands.
"Wang De, you go and present it to me." Li Shimin commanded.
"Yes." After Wang De responded, he stepped forward and brought up the fold held by the eunuch.
The eunuch left the Ganlu Hall at the signal of Wang De, and when he walked out of the Ganlu Palace, he touched the cold sweat that broke out of his head, and he couldn't help but feel afraid of the Tang Dynasty Son Long Wei.
