Chapter 7: Beautiful women everywhere
The battle for the crown prince has been the case in all dynasties.
Li Shimin's throne came through the Xuanwu Sect incident.
Moreover, there is also a bloody brotherly fight in it.
After that, Emperor Li Yuan was forced to take the throne.
This incident has almost become a disease in Li Shimin's heart, and it has become a shadow in the hearts of Li Chengqian and other princes.
Don't look at Li Chengqian now being made the crown prince, as the crown prince, it looks like he has sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and everything is like falling into place.
But Li Chengqian sat on pins and needles every day.
Li Chengqian knew that as long as his father was unhappy one day, his position would be in jeopardy.
With so many people around him vying for the throne, Li Chengqian still has a sense of urgency in his heart.
He was worried that in such a situation, he would fall into all kinds of passive situations.
At present, the only person who has the greatest competitiveness with him is Li Teng, so Li Chengqian must do everything possible to pull out this thorn in his side.
And some of the information he got showed that Li Teng had no intention of competing for the throne.
Far from letting his guard down, this made Li Chengqian even more impatient.
The other side.
Li Shimin's attitude and affection for Li Teng became stronger and stronger.
The relationship between many princes has always been a headache for Li Shimin.
Especially the last time Li Teng fell on the mountain while hunting, the matter of cutting the snake was spread all over the city, and then the crown prince Li Chengqian came to the imperial study with a large group of civil servants and military generals to sue the emperor, after a comparison of these things, Li Shimin had to think more.
Night.
The evening breeze is gentle.
With a bit of bleakness.
Li Shimin sat alone in the imperial study, sighing while reviewing the notebook.
"Erlang, what's wrong with you?"
"Guanyin, why are you here? Late at night and still haven't slept yet? ”
While speaking, Empress Changsun came with a cup of chicken soup that she had boiled herself.
"The concubine couldn't sleep at night because she was worried about Erlang's dragon body. It's so late, does Jiro have something on his mind? In recent days, I have seen that Erlang is depressed, is Erlang worried about the affairs of Qian'er and Qingque? ”
"Guanyin...... You're so knowing. Li Shimin said, frowning, "Qian'er is relatively strong, obedient on the surface, but in fact, he is full of rebellion in his bones." Qingque used to give me the feeling that it was not very stable, always reckless, and liked to perform. But after a recent hunt and falling off a horse, it's like a different person. ”
As he spoke, Li Shimin paused and looked at Empress Changsun.
Since Li Shimin married the eldest grandson, the two often had long talks.
Empress Changsun was always able to give Li Shimin some advice.
Li Shimin had a headache about the education of the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, and the eldest grandson queen was in charge of the harem, so she naturally knew a little about Li Chengqian and Li Teng.
"Qingque participated in my book that day, and I asked what reward I wanted, but he only needed the false title of champion Hou and changed his name to Li Teng. I don't understand what this kid is thinking. ”
Li Shimin sighed.
Although Li Chengqian and Li Teng are his princes, on weekdays, he has every opportunity and has no time to contact them.
When I was young, I didn't feel anything, but I thought it was good to be a child.
But now that they are getting bigger and bigger, Li Shimin is starting to have a headache.
Empress Eldest Sun helped Li Shimin sit down, and her voice was gentle, "Erlang, I think you are too worried." Although they are princes, they are still brothers in the flesh and blood, so they shouldn't be. ”
"Guanyin, but I'm worried that they will be with me back then and ......"
Li Shimin was halfway through his words and immediately waved his hand.
"That's it, that's it...... Let's not talk about it. ”
Bringing up the old things again is a bit depressing after all.
The change in Xuanwumen has always been a depression in Li Shimin's heart.
In order to divert the topic, Li Shimin swept his gaze to the chicken soup brought by Empress Changsun, "It's still Guanyin who feels sorry for me." ”
"Erlang, if you like it, I'll make it for Erlang every day."
……
Years ago.
Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Revolution helped him ascend to the throne, but it also laid the root cause for him.
Although Li Shimin behaves like a nobody on weekdays, he is a little uncomfortable tortured by various things in his heart.
It is reported that many people are secretly preparing to do the changes of that year.
When Li Shimin received the news, it seemed that there were many forces that had disappeared for many years and never appeared, such as the Yin and Yang family, the Mo family, and so on.
In addition, Li Shimin killed the former crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the fourth brother Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.
In addition to these, there are also the remnants of the previous dynasty left by the Sui Dynasty, as well as the threat of some Fanbangs around the Tang Dynasty.
One of the most troublesome was the Turkic Jieli Khan, who led an army of 100,000 Turks under his command to often harass the border passes.
The Datang border is often in an emergency.
Li Jing, the prince of Zhenguo, took the Tang Dynasty soldiers to the border, which temporarily exchanged for the tranquility of the border pass.
But Li Shimin is still more worried, lest something unexpected happen.
Datang is prosperous on the surface, but in fact, at this time, the situation is not good.
Because the Tang Dynasty was first established, many forces had to be eliminated, and various funds were needed for a war.
Moreover, in Shandong and other places, there has been a drought, which has led to some disasters.
This makes it even worse for the Tang Dynasty.
……
"What a joy life has been since ancient times, stealing half a day of leisure."
Li Teng sent them away, and leisurely set up some interesting things according to his memories of the 21st century, such as barbecue grills and the like.
Everything was prepared, and what made Li Teng feel more pitty was that the salt here was all large pieces, even if it was eaten in his house, it was all some coarse salt.
Li Teng used some refining methods, got a little fine salt, and then made some peppercorns and other things to make accessories for barbecue.
Salt, pepper, and star anise, which were very common in the 21st century, became quite expensive after the Tang Dynasty.
Li Teng suddenly had an idea, after he had no problem surviving, he must make a good use of his skills in this Datang and move the things of the 21st century, which should be regarded as an alternative invention, right?
When the time comes, I am afraid that I will become an inventor.
Of course, now Li Teng naturally won't expose himself so stupidly.
Li Teng was very careful even refining some fine salt, lest he be detected something.
He found that he was still quite tired when he traveled to ancient times, and it was the same as a palace fighting drama.
Li Teng stretched his waist, and a few maids came over from the side, "Little Marquis, what are you doing here?" Here we are. ”
"Yes, if we let the butler know, we will have to be disciplined again."
Another young and beautiful maid said pitifully.
In Datang, for aesthetic reasons, fat is beautiful, so when you are a maid, you are generally more slender, after all, your status is relatively low, and you are often nervous, worried that you will be punished for doing something wrong, and the food is not very good.
But in the eyes of Li Teng, a new human in the 21st century, these maids are simply much better looking than many first-line beauty stars.
If you want to ask Li Teng what is the biggest gain from crossing over this time, Li Teng will inevitably answer two words: beauty.
