In Taichang Temple, Li Fu's mind kept thinking about what Dazai said.

He has only been in the Eastern Capital for three days, and so many things have happened in this day alone, and now not only the young mansion master of Tiance, but also going to participate in the so-called peace selection of Nanchu in three months.

Moreover, when he came to Dongdu to uncover the mystery of his life experience, he didn't even say a clue, but added a few mysteries to himself. It only bothered him even more.

Since the master is the prince of the dynasty, why did he leave the Eastern Capital? What happened sixteen years ago made the master and the prince so jealous.

Li Fu secretly thought in his heart, and felt more and more that these things were not simple. And faintly, there is an invisible line that points directly to the royal family.

"Young Lord, what did Dazai-sama tell you?"

Li Fu's mind was completely immersed in Dazai's words, and he didn't pay attention to Xu Changhai and Chu Tiannan in front of the corridor at all.

"Oh, it's fine." Li Fu was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he asked like Xu Changhai:

"Why did Taifu leave the Eastern Capital back then?"

"You'd better not inquire about this now. Since Taifu and Dazai haven't told you at the moment, it means that the time has not yet come. I don't know the inside story of this either. ”

Xu Changhai hesitated for a long time before he spoke, as if this sentence had exhausted a lot of his strength, and his tone was very heavy.

Li Fu's expression was a little heavy, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh. Shook his head, which was a little swollen. Without saying a word, he left Taichang Temple.

………………

In a magnificent main hall on Suzaku Avenue, in an empty and silent hall, there was only one figure sitting above, exuding a natural dignity and elegance, and that was the brave warrior of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, are you looking for an old slave?"

An old servant bent down and said, some old voices echoing throughout the hall.

The hall was empty, and there was no one except Yong Wuhou.

Yongwu Hou wrapped himself in the darkness above the main hall and was silent for a long time.

"Chief Wang, you go and check the origin of the young mansion master of Tiance, I want detailed information."

I don't know how long it took for the voice of Yongwuhou to sound in the main hall.

"Yes! Your Highness. ”

The old manager was just about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Yongwuhou.

"Wait..... by the way, keep an eye on the Shangguan family's movements in the past few days."

Yongwuhou hesitated for a moment and spoke.

…………….

Emperor Wuhou had not yet returned to Beijing, and Li Fu had to stay in Tiance Mansion temporarily. After Emperor Wuhou returns to Beijing, he will be in the Eastern Capital again and announce the identity of Li Fushao's lord.

Early the next morning, Yang Zixu came to Tiance's mansion, and after wandering around for a while, he pulled Li Fu out of Tiance, saying that he had a new friend to introduce to him.

"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 was dragged by Yang Zixu to a school on Chang'an Avenue and saw the scene in front of him.

"Jiang Moyuan, you are bullying Xu Xianghe again." Yang Zixu quipped to the young man.

"Zixu? You don't stay at home, why did you come to my mausoleum? Jiang Moyuan threw down the pine nuts in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile.

"Early in the morning, I heard Brother Yang Ning say that you came back last night, what's the matter, didn't you bring me any gifts back this time in Northern Xinjiang." Yang Zixu asked.

"Rong Di can have something good to give you, but this time, I have captured a longbow from Rong Di's capital, so I'll send you back." Jiang Moyuan smiled.

For this kind of thing, Jiang Moyuan has long been surprised. Yang Zixu has never been on the battlefield, but what flows in his bones is the unyielding blood of the Yang family for hundreds of years.

"The Di people are nomadic for a living, and their bows are naturally not bad, are they all bows....so-so, but also a good thing." Yang Zixu nodded with satisfaction.

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

"Haha, you better study hard." Jiang Moyuan 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." Jiang Moyuan doted on the book that fell on the ground, picked it up, and handed it to the child. "Study hard, and you will be like your father in the future." ”

………………

"Who is this?" Jiang Moyuan looked at Li Fu who was looking at the side and said.

"This is the young mansion master, you only returned to the Eastern Capital last night. You don't know what happened yesterday yet! Yang Zixu said with a high spirit that Li Fu was in front of Shangguan Mansion yesterday.

"The deputy lieutenant of the 'Wind' department has seen the young mansion master," Jiang Moyuan saluted like Li Fu with a serious expression.

"Brother Jiang doesn't need to be like this, I'm not a person in the army now, so I don't need to salute." Li Fu hurriedly stopped Jiang Moyuan.

"Li Fu is right, he has not yet enlisted in the army, and there is no need to follow the etiquette of the army." Yang Zixu echoed on the side.

The army has always respected the strong, and Li Fu is indeed not in the army, but just hangs the name of a young mansion master, according to etiquette, there is really no need for people in Tiance to salute.

"Zixu, you can't say that, sooner or later, the young mansion master will have to enter the army. Besides, wait a few days, after Emperor Wuhou returns to Beijing, the young mansion lord should also go to Cangyun Mountain to participate in the trial. Looks like you should be going this year, right? You've also reached your age. Jiang Moyuan said seriously.

"Cangyun Mountain? What is that place? Li Fu thought about it in his mind, and he didn't have any information about Cangyun Mountain.

"It was a training ground set up by the imperial court in recent years for the sons and daughters of the princes and magnates in the Eastern Capital, and it was specially designed to train the generals in the army in the future. Now if the children of the princes of the Eastern Capital want to join the army, they must go through the selection of Cangyun Mountain, and those with excellent grades can start directly from the centurion or even the captain in the army. Jiang Moyuan explained.

"I see..."Li Fu nodded thoughtfully.

This is also to curb the phenomenon of too many Hu generals in the army. You must know that now all parts of the Tang Dynasty have begun to have a system of festival envoys, and most of them are Hu people. Our Han army now occupies less than half. Saying this, Jiang Moyuan's expression was a little worried.

During the reign of Taizong, the homeland of the Hu people had been incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. In the past 800 years, under the influence of Tang culture, many Hu people have become more and more influenced by Confucianism, and even their names have taken the names of Han people, such as the Duke of Wei in the Taizong period, the Donghu people of Shuozhou.

And half of today's eight great generals are Hu generals, such as Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Fumeng Lingcha, and Li Siye. These ancestors were all Hu people.

Compared with several other ethnic groups bordering the Tang Dynasty, these Hu people, who have lost their homeland, have changed a lot. As a result, there are many Hu people in the frontier who join the army, and every time there is a war against the Rongdi, Beiyan, and barbarian races, the Hu generals and sergeants are extremely fierce on the battlefield. The combat power far exceeds that of the Han army stationed in ordinary places.

But after all, the Hu people are not my race, and it is precisely because of this that the royal family opened Cangyun Mountain to train the children of the magnates of the Eastern Capital Marquis, and it is expected that in the near future, these people can slowly equal the number of generals of the Han army with the Hu people in the army.

"Don't talk about it, today I brought the young mansion master to Shanglin Yuan to enjoy the flowers and drink, these things, let's wait until Emperor Wuhou returns to Beijing to talk about it, what about Chu Ge? 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 Shanglin Garden, do you want Brother Yang to ask for a teaching stick to beat you." Jiang Moyuan was suddenly amused by Yang Zixu's call, the funny things that this eldest young master has done are not one or two, 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 and find Chu Ge first." Yang Zixu didn't say a word, pulled Li Fu and walked to the backyard.

Passing through the front hall, Li Fu and the others entered the backyard in Shanglin Garden. Yang Zixu was right when he told Li Fu on the road, the scenery in Shanglin Garden 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!

But on one side of Merlin was a large wasteland, overgrown with weeds, and several huge stone tablets sprouted diagonally from 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.

"Hey~~ I really can't figure out how 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 Taifu said when he established Shanglin Yuan: no matter how wrong it is, they are still the descendants of Taizong after all. ”

…………….

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.
