"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are shining, the cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvest and the winter ..... hidden?"

"Smack"

A crisp sound,

"....oops~ who hit me!" A teenager touched the back of his head with his hand in pain, turned his head, and the book he was holding fell to the ground.

"Idiot, it's wrong to be in the autumn harvest of Dongzang, and hiding is the meaning of collecting, not the hiding of Daozang."

Behind him, a man in a white robe smiled and threw a pine nut over.

Li Fu and Yang Zixu just stepped into the gate of Tiance Mansion and saw the scene in front of them.

"Chu Ge, you're bullying Xu Xianghe again." Yang Zixu quipped to the young man.

"Zixu? If you don't stay in the Shangling Courtyard and come here again, aren't you afraid that the Yang Courtyard Supervisor will ground you? Chu Ge threw down the pine nuts in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile.

"Yesterday, I heard Brother Yang Ning say that you are back, what, this time in the Northwest, didn't you bring me any gifts?" Yang Zixu said.

"Rong Di can have something good to give you, but this time, I have captured a longbow from one of Rong Di's deputy commanders, so I'll send you back." Chu Ge said helplessly.

For this kind of thing, Chu Ge has long been surprised. Although Yang Zixu is still a student of Shangling Academy, he, like Xu Xianghe, likes to come to Tiance Mansion to play since he was a child, and it can be said that Tiance is their second home.

"The Di people are nomadic for a living, and their bows are naturally not bad, and the bows of the deputy capital are so-so, which is also a good thing." Yang Zixu nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Xianghe, who was in his teenage years on the side, suddenly interjected: "Brother Chu is so biased, I fell in love with that bow yesterday, why didn't you give it to me?" ”

"Haha, you better study hard." Chu Ge touched Xu Xianghe's little head and said with a smile.

"I don't like to read, I like to learn to fight." Xu Xianghe muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Idiot, you don't even understand how to fight." Chu Ge doted on the book, picked it up, and handed it to the child. "Study hard, and you will be like your father in the future." ”

………………

"This is the top of this year's Lantern Festival exam, right?" Chu Ge looked at Li Fu, who was looking at a huge stone tablet standing at the door, and spoke.

"Under Li Fu, it's polite." Li Fu looked away from the stone tablet and responded politely.

"Okay, let's have a greeting later, call Jiang Moyuan, and let's have a drink. The two of you are also lucky, you have been in the army for three months, you should be suffocated, and you should celebrate it today. Yang Zixu interrupted the next conversation between the two.

"You kid, drinking in this Tiance Mansion, do you want Brother Yang to ask for a teaching stick to beat you." Chu Gele, the funny things that this eldest young master has done are not one or two things, who in the Eastern Capital does not know that there is a lawless son in the Dongyu Divine General's Mansion.

"Let's go, let's go to the backyard to find Jiang Moyuan first." Yang Zixu didn't say a word, pulled Li Fu and walked to the backyard.

This place is not too big, much smaller than Shangling Courtyard, but here, the scenery is far better than Shangling Courtyard, in Yang Zixu's words, the scenery of Tiance Mansion is far better than any place in the Eastern Capital.

But in fact, Tiance is divided into two parts. With Chang'an Avenue as the boundary, the deepest part of Chang'an Avenue is next to the Daming Palace, which is the place where Tiance Mansion handles official business, and it is also the core of Tiance. The three great generals of Tiance, the twelve military candidates, and the twenty-four imperial histories are all responsible for the daily operation of the Tiance Mansion here. However, Emperor Wuhou, the controller of Tiance, rarely returns here.

And they are now in the Tiance School located on the street of Chang'an Avenue.

Passing through the front hall, Li Fu and the others entered the student dormitory in Tiance Academy. Yang Zixu is right, the scenery in the Tiance Academy is indeed a must. Today, although early spring has arrived, the chill has not gone, and the plum blossoms here are still blooming quietly. One by one, white, pink or red, clustered on the branches, extremely lively.

Li Fu looked at him quietly, this sea of flowers bloomed extremely beautifully, among the plum trees, pieces of falling flowers were spread on the ground, like a gentle blanket.

The national flower of the Tang Dynasty is not a plum blossom. But because plum blossoms have arrogance and strength. No matter how harsh the environment is, he always maintains his own style. Therefore, plum blossoms are deeply loved by the Tang Dynasty, which is a self-metaphor!

In front of him, Li Fuxuan understood why the stone tablet in the front hall was engraved with "Punish the Little Heaven and Righteousness". This is the pride of Tiance.

In the Tiance Academy, there are many people who are still in the Northwest Army and have not yet returned, and the army is still stationed in the Northwest Frontier. Although Rong Di's attack was defeated, it still failed to completely solve the northwest border trouble.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty for 800 years, the border passes have not been very peaceful, and Rong Di in the northwest is eyeing it. The Great Yan in the south and the barbarians in the north are like scabies, which always linger.

But Rong Di and the barbarians have grown stronger in the past few hundred years, and formed an alliance twenty years ago, which can almost compete with the Tang Dynasty, which also makes the Tang Dynasty continue to use force against the frontier over the years. It has also caused great damage to national strength.

Datang is not monolithic, just in the army, the Shence Mansion headed by the Shangguan family has been secretly-for-tat with Tiance. Since the beginning of the Shenghou years, the court of the Tang Dynasty has experienced three bloodbaths. On the white jade steps in front of the Taiji Palace, there are still faint dark red lines, which are traces of blood flowing.

The change of imperial power will always be accompanied by countless killings, and no one can stay out of it. Wise to the eldest grandson, or like Xue Shenjiang, they all died in that turmoil.

Whether it's the century-old Divine Strategy, or the earlier Yulin Army, or the army guarding the counties. From the capital to the generals, there has long been no iron and blood. Defeat on the battlefield, flattery in the court. Growing.

And Tiance is constantly mobilizing troops back and forth in the territory of Datang, and doing its best to protect the territory of Datang. In the past ten years alone, the number of Tiance soldiers who have died in battle has reached millions. Countless Tiance soldiers stepped into the battlefield of the frontier one after another, and then slept here.

Emperor Wuhou's painstaking efforts not only did not get the glory he deserved, but instead attracted more and more suspicion from the royal family. In the First War in the Northwest, Emperor Wuhou's food and salary were cut off, and the 700,000 army was fighting against Rong Di almost on an empty stomach. If it weren't for Emperor Wuhou's forcible requisition of the taxes of the four southeastern counties, I am afraid that there would be no need to wait for Rong Di to attack, and Tiance's 700,000 army would have died under the butcher's knife of his own people.

In addition to this plum forest, the scenery on the side of the east wing also attracted Li Fu's attention, this is a silt dammed pond, except for a few plum petals falling in it, there are a few withered branches that attracted Li Fu's attention.

"It is said that the soil quality of the Shangling Courtyard was not very good, so Taifu dug a pond here. It is said that the lotus flowers inside are the seeds planted by Taifu himself. Chu Ge explained on the side.

"Yes, the master also likes lotus flowers." Li Fu suddenly smiled, in the past two days, Li Fu has been thinking, is the master the master? Now, looking at the lotus pond in front of him, Li Fu understands that the master is the Taifu.

In Daoxiang Village, the lotus pond in front of the Master's House is exactly the same as here. And here, too, there is a humble little thatched hut!

Behind the hut was a large wasteland, overgrown with weeds, and several huge stone monuments slanted out of the weeds more than half a man high. The scenery in front of you is incompatible with the quaint Shangling Courtyard.

Li Fu was a little puzzled, how could there be weeds in this place? With doubts, Li Fu walked over.

……………………..

"Don't look at it, there's nothing to see here, it's all royal family buried."

Yang Zixu is not surprised by this, this piece of barren grass has existed since he can remember, and no one has taken care of it. This was true when Taifu lived here, and it is still the same now.

"This is the place where the bones of the deposed prince are buried?" Li Fu stopped and looked at the stone tablets carefully.

"Yes, it is said that Emperor Taizong buried the waste prince here. But who knew that there was more than one royal family buried here. Yang Zixu glanced at the other remnants of the monument and sneered.

"I really can't figure out why Emperor Wuhou and Taifu chose such a place when they established Shanglin Yuan." Yang Zixu said.

"Could it be that the royal family has never asked about the disciples of the royal family buried here?" Li Fu asked.

"Royalty? Do you care where the person who is going to kill you ends up buried? Yang Zixu glanced at Li Fu and said, "But Emperor Wuhou said when he established Shanglin Yuan: no matter how wrong it is, they are still descendants of Taizong after all. Therefore, Shanglin Yuan is guarding here, like a heavenly policy guarding the Tang Dynasty. ”

…………….

In the more than 230 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has experienced the prosperous era created by the three generations of Taizu, Taizong and Gaozong, and in the middle, Emperor Wu changed the name of the country, and then to the current His Majesty. Which time is not full of blood of the royal family. Even the white jade steps on the Taiji Hall were dyed a faint brown, and it has not faded yet.

"Let's go, let's go outside." Li Fu recalled the things recorded in the books in Daoxiang Village, and couldn't help but tremble a little.

Shanglin Yuan is just a mausoleum for those who failed back then.
