Chapter 72: The Biography of Princess Zhao
Princess Jinyang walked to the bookcase, took out a booklet from under the paperweight, and handed it to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian took the book, and after seeing the name written on the booklet clearly, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the booklet on the ground.
Xuan Shijing looked at Li Chengqian's reaction, and was even more curious in his heart, what did his son write to send His Majesty Li Er.
Leaned forward and looked at the book in Li Chengqian's hand, and the cover of the book read: Biography of Princess Pingyang Zhao.
Princess Binh Duong? Chai Lingwu's biological mother and the younger sister of His Majesty Li Er.
In the Tang Dynasty, Xuan Shijing has more or less heard about this princess of Pingyang, Li Tang Dingding Central Plains, Li Yuan can become the emperor, although it is inseparable from his personal conditions, but more importantly, he really gave birth to a group of outstanding children. Among this group of children, the most meritorious are the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the second son Li Shimin and the third daughter Princess Pingyang.
The four words of the heroine on her body have not been insulted at all, her intelligence, courage, everything is not inferior to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, as a daughter, in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, pulled up a huge team, when Li Yuan crossed the Yellow River and entered the Guanzhong, Princess Pingyang had already laid a large territory in Guanzhong, Li Tang sat firmly in the country, and Princess Pingyang made great contributions.
To this day, there are still many legends about "Li Gongzi" and the Women's Army in many places in Guanzhong.
Princess Jinyang actually wrote a biography, shouldn't this matter be done by a historian.
"Son, why did you remember to write a biography for Aunt Pingyang?" Li Chengqian looked at Princess Jinyang puzzled, his tone was full of emotion, for the impression of Princess Pingyang, Li Chengqian was about to forget, the year Princess Pingyang died, he was only four years old, and Li Tai hid behind Li Shimin, looking at the mighty funeral procession, although the appearance of Princess Pingyang was a little vague, but the funeral was deeply imprinted in his mind.
The weather was not very good that day, it was still faintly drizzling, maybe the heavens were also sad for the death of this strange woman, standing on the gate tower of Chang'an City, overlooking the entire straight and wide Vermilion Bird Street, thousands of tiger soldiers dressed in black armor, guarding the surroundings, the front and rear feather Bao preaching, big wheels, banners, swords forty people, military music resounded throughout Chang'an, accompanied by the sound of drums, the funeral procession out of Chang'an City.
Princess Pingyang is also the only woman who has been buried with a military salute so far, and this alone is enough to leave a name in the history books.
To this day, when I think of the situation back then, the sound of the drum can still clearly linger in Li Chengqian's mind.
Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao are a couple with a deep relationship, and since the death of Princess Pingyang, Chai Shao has not continued the string.
Today, when I saw the biography written by Jinyang for Princess Pingyang, the past came to Li Chengqian's mind again.
Princess Pingyang's funeral was opened with a snare drum, which was opposed by many ministers at the time, but was suppressed by Li Yuan, and a quarter of the Li family's world was beaten down by Princess Pingyang.
Jinyang has reverence for Princess Pingyang, she has a heart of awe for this aunt who has never seen her, because she is by His Majesty Li Er's side, she can often hear about Princess Pingyang, so she thought about writing such a biography, which can be regarded as a vivid description of Princess Pingyang's life, and sent it to His Majesty Li Er, and also sent a thought.
Xuan Shijing took the book "The Biography of Princess Zhao of Pingyang" in Li Chengqian's hand and opened it, the standard italics, Jinyang's calligraphy was learned from Chu Suiliang, and its font has begun to show the demeanor of a famous artist.
"A few days ago, Lantai ordered the emperor to play the record of the emperor's martial arts years, and there were some disagreements in the record of Aunt Pingyang, and it was natural to go into the history books according to Aunt Pingyang's merits, but some historians used Aunt Pingyang's identity as an excuse to scribble on the record, which made his father angry, and the son thought that if the historian did not remember, it would be better for the son to compile a book himself." Speaking of those historians, Princess Jinyang doesn't seem to be very happy, after all, Princess Pingyang has made great contributions to the Li Tang royal family, but I didn't expect that in the history books, it was only the Spring and Autumn Period, which made Jinyang, who revered Princess Pingyang, very angry.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er is also very angry about this, but people who are historians have a temper, that is, stubbornness, you are angry with you, I will write mine.
For this kind of behavior of the historian, let alone His Majesty Li Er, no emperor can control it.
I have to say that Jinyang's idea is very good, since the historian does not do a detailed explanation, then write a book by himself, Jinyang is definitely not bad for the money of engraving and printing books, and now it is only more than ten years since the death of Princess Pingyang, and the people naturally know that the famous "Li Gongzi" is no different from what is written in the book of Jinyang, maybe in this way, the deeds of Princess Pingyang will be famous for centuries.
"What is my son going to dedicate this book to his father?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
"In the past two days, my father and emperor have been angry with the historian." Princess Jinyang smiled: "If I present this book now, the historian will probably be unlucky, so let's wait for two days." ”
The misfortune of the historian that Princess Jinyang said was not anything else, it was nothing more than being scolded by His Majesty Li Er.
Speaking of Princess Pingyang, Xuan Shijing thought of Chai Lingwu, Chai Lingwu married Princess Baling as he wished, and now he has taken office in Weizhou to make a history of assassination.
Those people who were good friends with Xuan Shijing back then had already started a family, Cheng Chumo and Qin Ying both went to the army, Cheng Huailiang married Princess Qinghe and served as the general of the left guard in Chang'an City, Li Chongyi went to Yizhou to do the long history of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, presumably he also wanted to experience it outside, and then return to Chang'an.
"Little Marquis." When Xuan Shijing was missing his brothers, Uncle Li's voice came from outside, they couldn't enter the study, and they could only shout to say hello.
Hearing the voice, Xuan Shijing returned the booklet in his hand to Jin Yang and walked to Uncle Li's side.
The shelf has been built, and the next question is how to hang the rattan chair up, Xuan Shijing saw that the shelf that had been erected was placed in front of Uncle Li, and stepped forward to take a look.
At the bottom of the triangular base, a stake was erected, and a piece of wood protruded horizontally, which had been perforated, and three iron nails were fixed underneath.
"Here, get this thing up." Xuan Shijing said: "Uncle Li, you can pass the chain through here and fix it on the shelf for a while, and the two sisters over there will help move a stool." Of course, Xuan Shijing said this to the two maids of Princess Jinyang who were standing at the top of the stairs.
One of them nodded, quickly went downstairs, and after a while, he moved a stool from the first floor and placed it next to Xuan Shijing.
Seeing that Uncle Li had already fastened the chains, he said to the guard, "Come, the eldest brother of the guard will help lift this thing." ”
Uncle Li's son knew what Xuan Shijing was going to do, so he moved the stool over and placed it next to the shelf, and Uncle Li stepped on the stool and began to connect the other end of the chain with the hole in the shelf.
After tossing for a long time, he finally finished all the things he promised the Duke of Jinyang.
"You sit down and try it." Xuan Shijing said to the guard.
The guard's body is strong, presumably the weight will definitely not be less than one hundred and forty pounds, hearing Xuan Shijing's words, the guard was stunned for a moment, and then according to Xuan Shijing's words, he sat in the "bird's nest".
