According to the time that Rong'er told me, the eighteenth year of Kaihuang is almost over, I used to hear Mr. Fang tell the story of Jiangdong Sijun, and laughed at him for taking life and death too seriously, but now it's my turn, can it be said that after staying in this environment for a long time, everyone will become like this? I feel like I've already parted ways with my previous self, and I don't know why, but something seems to weigh heavily in my heart. In fact, people are like this, after experiencing some things, their hearts will sink, commonly known as "maturity".

Because I haven't let go of Mr. Fang's departure, I don't even feel that the New Year is interesting. My mother was unwell and my father was very busy to go back to Daxingcheng, and I began to accept this monotonous and boring life—maybe I really started living again when I was seven years old? Because during the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, I looked back and felt that I had matured a lot.

Daddy hadn't returned from Daxing City that night—I don't think he would come back, but I didn't know that he needed to attend the next day's court, and it was impossible for him to come back. Yu Ru Xiuning and I have made an appointment to celebrate the New Year together, and the three of us are eating snacks in my room at night, and there are melons and fruits and desserts prepared by Rong'er on the table, I actually don't have much interest, I used to be accompanied by my father or mother, and now we are together, Yu Ru is older than us, and I guess he is looking at us. I used to drink and play cards when I was bored, but I didn't dare to drink anymore, and I didn't have to play cards.

Speaking of Sanniang, she mentioned Chai Shao in front of me again, "Big brother, Chai Shao said that he was in the army, what do you say is like in the army?" ”

The ...... said, "I've never been there, but my father said he'd take me there, and I'll tell you when the time comes." ”

Her eyes lit up, she glanced at me and said, "At that time, you still need to say it?" Wouldn't it be enough for me to let my father take me there too? ”

Yu Ru covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sanniang, you are a girl's family, you think about these things all day long, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to marry in the future?" ”

Sanniang's face turned red when she heard this, and she was about to beat Yuru, and said, "Sister, you are talking nonsense again!" ”

I saw that Yu Ru could fix Sanniang like this with one sentence, and my mood was a lot better, and I couldn't help laughing: "Sanniang, let you bully me all day long, the second sister can make you ashamed like this with a word, and it will be better to be a little more restrained in the future." ”

We talked and laughed like this, and finally ushered in the nineteenth year of the emperor. I know that the Sui Dynasty was also a short-lived dynasty, but I don't know how many years it has been, and now every time I encounter something, I can't help but regret why I didn't read more books and understand more about history before, so that I can strategize here, and now I don't know anything, and I have to listen to the ancients tell me what news.

In fact, even if something that is too far away from me happens, because I can't feel it, I can only talk and complain, and nothing else can be done at all. But what happened around me can be deeply experienced - the father and the mother seem to have discussed, a few days after the father came back from Daxing City, the mother gave birth to a child, it is said that the father held the newborn child and said something like "help the world and the people", and named him "Shimin".

In this way, the biggest catastrophe in my life, Li Shimin, was born.

I also secretly looked at him a few times, he was fat and fat like Garfield, but he had no hair on his body, and his big bony eyes turned up and down to look restless, if I stared at him, he would cry in less than a minute, and he had made my dad very nervous several times, in fact, I hadn't even touched him. To tell you the truth, I have never had much interest in children, and I would not have bothered to even glance at them if it weren't for the fact that he was barely counting me as my brother, and for the fact that I wanted to know what the man who was going to kill me would look like.

Li Shimin's birth did not affect my life too much, what should I do, but the year he was born - the nineteenth year of the emperor, was a very unpeaceful year, because this year the crown prince was suppressed more severely, the king of Qin became more sick, and things in the court were more complicated, and this complicated relationship finally spread outside the court, and inevitably affected the father who was the assassin in Qizhou.

As the saying goes, "often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet", in fact, I thought that my father's idea was too simple for a long time, because although my father was not as favored as the father and son of the Yang family, the emperor was also very good to him, and my father called the emperor uncle when it came to kinship. I heard that when my father returned to Daxing City to participate in the court meeting, he was left alone in the palace by the emperor after the dispersal of the dynasty and spoke. For people like that, trouble is sure to come to you. And the birth of my younger brother just provided a perfect opportunity -

The joy of my younger brother's full moon has not only become a major event in Qizhou City, but many people have also come to Daxing City, and even Yang Xuangan, who had injured me before, also came in person. It's a bit scary!

Li Shimin didn't even know how to speak, and of course his father wouldn't pull him out to meet guests, but I was miserable, and I recognized all the people who came to the house to give gifts from morning to night.

Needless to say, Daddy's good friend has already arrived at the house a few days ago, and Daddy doesn't know what to do in the study all day, I don't have the desire to eavesdrop on them now, their adult affairs, I can't intervene as a child, I have more important things to deal with, that is, this newborn brother, every time I see him, I will think of Mr. Fang's words, because I don't know what is right, so it is very annoying.

Of course, because of the full moon relationship of my younger brother, I don't have much time to think about it.

Early this morning, I was dressed neatly - better than my birthday - standing in front of the second door and waiting, this is what Daddy meant, let me receive guests on his behalf, I wondered to death, Daddy is not mistaken, so many people who are several rounds older than me, you let me a ten-year-old little boy to receive it, not afraid of other people's jokes? I haven't woken up yet.

Just when I wanted to take a nap for a while, someone had already reported that Shangshu's left servant shot Yang Xuangan, the general of the prince of Yueguo, and I ...... I didn't understand what I was talking about at all, I only knew that the person who came was Yang Xuangan. When I heard Yang Xuangan's three words, my head was cold, and I was scared to wake up, this person has injured me, and he must have bullied my father, I have to teach him a lesson. Thinking like this, he pretended to tidy up his clothes on the surface, and when he looked up, a person swaggered in, his face was slightly fat, his body was burly, and he had a big beard - even if I am not a child, I am afraid that the two of them together may not be able to beat, no wonder Qiu Yuandu would have been defeated in his hands before.

This is Yang Xuangan? I still want to teach him a lesson? It's nice not to be taught by him. Yang Xuangan didn't come alone, he was followed by a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old man, with a slightly thin face and a well-mowed mustache, which was not the same style as Yang Xuangan at all.

I have a good impression of this person behind Yang Xuangan, he doesn't squint, he looks decent, his eyes don't know where to look, he doesn't look at me anyway, he is holding a red lacquered wooden box in his hand, it should be a gift for my father.

Yang Xuangan seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw me, and I saluted: "The general has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way. My father is already waiting in the front hall, please inside. ”

Yang Xuangan looked me up and down, and said with a smile: "Tang Guogong has a good way to teach his son, which is good. ”

I thought he was the same as those big men who were five big and three coarse, but he turned out to be very gentle when he spoke, which was so incompatible with his appearance that I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so I had to endure it. Does he remember beating me with a horse? Although I don't know how he beat me - after all, I didn't come here at all at that time, but I won't forget my mother holding me and crying, she felt sorry for me, I know, and I also dared to be angry with Yang Xuan, so I had to endure it. So as soon as he appeared, I didn't have a good impression of him, and now I'm pointing at my father's education method in a high-spirited manner, and it's endless?

I didn't dare to be angry, so I had to smile shyly.

He then motioned for the person behind him to give me something, and I looked back, and the little guy next to me had already taken the gift knowingly. Then he followed the man to the front hall, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing outside for a day is not without gain, there is a little old man named Xiao Deyan also came to visit my father, as soon as I saw this person, I remembered Mr. Fang, he was as thin as Mr. Fang, wearing a gray cotton coat, his beard was messy and not repaired, and he liked to shake his head and touch his messy beard by the way when he walked.

He doesn't have any official position, and it seems that the big and small officials who come are not all the way, they just come to have a leisurely meal. But when my father heard that he was coming, he not only greeted him personally, greeted him politely for a while, but also introduced me to him ceremoniously, and invited him to be my teacher. But if he is really powerful, how can he get so big of a beard that he doesn't even have a half-official position? Forget it, Mr. Fang is gone, I really need a teacher who I don't know much about reading now, and I can't change my father's decision anyway, and I don't know how this person is educated, let's see.

In addition to Xiao Deyan, there were also a few half-old children who also came to join in the fun - one of them was not small, it turned out to be Yang Hui, the son of King Jin, Yuzhang Wang, and he was accompanied by a child with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I think it's very strange, my father said that Yang Su is very close to King Jin now, why didn't Yang Xuangan come with this King Yuzhang?

I never thought they would avoid suspicion. However, King Yuzhang came to congratulate his father King Jin, his status is noble, and King Jin is powerful, of course his father does not dare to snub him. In addition to King Yuzhang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent people to send gifts, and the person who came in place of the prince was Yang Yan, the king of Changning County, the grandson of the crown prince.
