Brightly lit.

It was the time when the lanterns were first on, because the emperor was coming, and he had to accompany the emperor to dine, so the lights in the Tai'an Palace were extraordinarily more, and there were more internal and external vigilance.

The Tai'an Palace, where the Emperor Taishang currently lives, was originally called Hongyi Palace. This was built by Li Yuan's decree in recognition of the merits of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. As a result, now that the father and son have been transposed, he has lived in the palace built for his son, and the name Hongyi Palace has also become Tai'an.

The father and son still had a very embarrassing meal. Of course, Li Shimin is observant, and skillfully looks for time to talk and toast, but his father doesn't give face, so he can't interact.

In the ninth year of Wude, the Xuanwumen Rebellion broke out, and after the power fell into the hands of Li Shimin, Li Yuan also accepted his fate. In fact, at that time, he still had great power in the court, you must know that Li Shimin only launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and killed the two brothers, before that, his strength was mainly in his Tiance Mansion, and he couldn't interfere in the position of an important minister in the court, it was Li Yuan's people.

At that time, the courtiers led by Pei Lian, as well as the old team of the clan and the Guanlong nobles, were all Li Yuan's, if Li Yuan refused to give in, he still had the strength to fight, and Li Shimin might not have the courage to kill his father, and if he really did this, the situation would only get worse.

But what can Li Yuan, a father, do? has lost two sons, is it possible to become an obscure future, and fight with this son again? Besides, he is old, and the Tang Empire he created single-handedly also wants to be passed on steadily, and the crown prince has died, and there is only this one of the most suitable candidates left.

There are not a few years, and it is time to pass on the throne, is it possible to have another fight with his own son at this time? However, although reason prompted him to make a decision, it is conceivable how uncomfortable his heart was.

Moreover, when Li Yuan was in power, the clan was sealed, and the kings alone were sealed dozens of them, and Li Shimin came to power for three months, except for a few who had military exploits, the other kings were all demoted to "county dukes", and Li Yuan must have felt uncomfortable.

Later, Li Shimin drove Pei Lian, who was closest to Li Yuan, out of the imperial court, and Li Yuan was even more unhappy. Especially when Li Shimin dismissed Pei Lin from his official position and drove him back to his hometown, he reprimanded him for not being worthy of becoming an important minister of the imperial court at all, and told him: When the emperor was in power, there were frequent chaos, and it was all your responsibility. I won't deal with you, I just dismissed your official and let you go back to retire, which is already very tolerant.

In and out of these words, it is clear that the emperor is mediocre and misuses mediocre people. When these words reached Li Yuan's ears, what could he think? Since then, Li Yuan has been angry and has less contact with his son.

Fortunately, two years ago, the Tang Dynasty won the war with the Turks, the sworn enemy for many years, and even Jieli Khan was captured and sent to Chang'an as a duke. At the beginning of Li Yuan's army, he was forced to call himself a minister to the Turks, which was also a great shame in his heart, but now his son has regained face for him, Li Yuan is very happy, and the relationship between father and son has eased a lot.

But the so-called relaxation is only relative to the previous ice-like father-son relationship. The knot in my heart has not gone, it is okay when I have my daughter-in-law, the eldest grandson, the queen or other courtiers, but when there are only the two of them, Li Yuan's voice is not enough, and it is inevitable that he will have to say a few words to his son, and this atmosphere is very embarrassing.

Li Shimin regretted a little that he came to visit alone and did not bring the queen with him. With his daughter-in-law present, his father will save him some face, and he will not let him eat this dinner so bland.

In the main hall, the father and son ate the food carefully cooked by the emperor and the emperor in the imperial dining room like a medicine. In the shadow of the palace wall in a corner of Tai'an Palace, there were two figures, which were completely different from the night, revealing only bright eyes.

"Why are there so many guards in Tai'an Palace, and the lights are so bright!"

Yang Qianye frowned, she didn't expect the palace to be so heavily guarded, and the lights were shining like day. It stands to reason that even if the emperor is rich all over the world, it is impossible to squander manpower and material resources like this, and if he does this all year round, even if it is the royal family, this is an unimaginable huge expenditure.

Feng Erzhi said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be! When the emperor was there, only when the ministers were feasted, there was such a battle! ”

The first emperor Feng Erzhi refers to Emperor Yang of Sui. Emperor Yang of Sui is a person who likes to put on a show, but even he doesn't have the reason to be so extravagant every day.

At this time, there was quietly another figure beside the two, it was Mo Baiyan who was inquiring about the news. Mo Baiyan said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the old slave inquired and understood. Today, Li Shimin came to visit his father, and he had not left at this time, so the palace was strictly guarded, and the lights were exceptionally bright. ”

"Li Yuan's father and son are here?"

Yang Qianye's delicate body was shocked, and a thought spontaneously arose in her heart, but as soon as this thought came out, she knew that it was impossible, so she quickly suppressed it again.

Mo Baiyan listened obediently, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness, don't do it!" Although Li Yuan and Li Shimin are here, because of this, there is no chance to start. ”

Yang Qianye took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I understand! Then, let's still act according to the original plan, wait for Li Shimin to leave, and attack Li Yuan! ”

"Yes!" Mo Baiyan and Feng Erzhi agreed, and the three of them set their eyes on the brightly lit place. Although they can't see it, they know that the successive heads of the two generations of the Tang Empire are there.

************

A light like a bean.

There was a man sitting under the lamp, and a man standing.

The man sitting behind the lamp, the light was shining on his face, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were like stars. The appearance is elegant, gentle and warm. Everyone in the market knows him, this is Mr. Su Youdaosu, who makes and sells umbrellas every day.

The face of the man standing was just across the light from the lampshade, but it was a little hazy, and it was difficult to see the true face.

At this moment, he was reporting to Su Youdao: "My subordinates have found out that Li Yu went to Si Tianjian, and it is not the first time he has gone. ”

Su Youdao frowned: "What did he do when he went to Si Tianjian to do?" ”

The man said: "The subordinate asked the person who had contact with Li Yu, and the person didn't know. So his subordinates found a way to get in touch with Yuan Tiangang's little guy who signed the detention room, and learned from him that Yuan Tiangang had placed a pair of women from Lizhou, and had visited him twice. It's just that there is a difference between men and women, and after the two women settle down, they won't go much. ”

Su Youdao bent his fingers and gently knocked on the table, and said, "Li Yu, it's from Lizhou!" ”

The man: "Yes! Therefore, the subordinates sent people to visit according to the address that the little guy said, and it turned out that the two women, one was Li Yu's mother Pan, and the other was named Jixiang, who seemed to have made a lifelong agreement with Li Yu, and was regarded as the daughter-in-law of the Li family. ”

It is conceivable how efficient it is to find out so many things in one day.

Moreover, Su Youdao only instructed him one thing, but he investigated it directly, and he couldn't understand the ins and outs of this matter, but he could think of a new way at any time to find out the whole incident in a roundabout way, instead of explaining one step above, I would only do one step, and this person's astuteness can be seen carefully.

But such a person, under Su Youdao's door, is just a little errand boy, Su Youdao talks to him, and he doesn't even bother to call his name, how many people should this Su Youdao have? Who would have thought that this umbrella seller in the market would have such a lot of energy.

"Good!"

Su Youdao pondered for a moment: "Taking advantage of the absence of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and Li Yu has not yet found his mother and Jixiang, according to our plan, act quickly, through Pan and Jixiang, first get in touch with Chang Jiannan, and when Li Yu finds them, it will be difficult not to get involved." ”

"Yes! It has been done according to the arrangement of the sir. But ......"

The man agreed, and his expression suddenly hesitated: "Sir, can this Li Yu really live up to Mr.'s expectations?" ”

Su Youdao raised his head and looked at him: "He avenged his father, accumulated nine years of work, and succeeded in a moment!" Filial piety is in the heart, and the endurance is extraordinary; He can kill people in the street, slash enemies among the soldiers and tigers and wolves, he is brave and extraordinary; The loyal are filial, the filial piety is loyal, the loyal and filial piety are both loyal and filial, can endure what others can't, can not be afraid of death, and have a good martial arts, so, what is so difficult about him? ”

The man hesitated, "But he has never set foot in the underworld. ”

Su Youdao smiled slightly, took an unfinished umbrella from the bookcase, put his fingers on it, and gently touched it and asked, "Do you know what this umbrella was originally used for." ”

The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Stop the rain!" ”

Su Youdao shook his head: "The ancestors originally invented the umbrella, not to block the rain, but to shade the sun. ”

The man's eyes widened in surprise.

Su Youdao said slowly: "At that time, the materials could not be poured without damage in the rainstorm, and the ancestors had limited conditions and limited technology, so they could not make umbrellas to shelter from the rain." But it's much easier to get shade. It wasn't until later that I tried all kinds of materials until I could shelter from the rain. ”

Su Youdao paused for a moment and said with a smile: "A tool that was originally invented because of the scorching sun can actually be used when the rainstorm is pouring." Guy has the basic conditions for rain protection. So, why can't a man who has never set foot in the underworld, but who is loyal, filial, brave, courageous and knowledgeable, not be able to call for wind and rain on the underworld? ”

The man bowed his head and said, "Sir, I am taught!" ”

Su Youdao smiled and said: "And now, the umbrella can not only not shade the sun, but can also shelter from the rain, can travel for emperors and officials, and can be used as a prestige guard of honor, but also a common thing for men and women in the market to talk about love: 'A green umbrella, both of them go together!'" 'Talents that can be created can be used everywhere, Li Yu is a talent that can be created! ”

************

"Dang", Li Yu let out a fart.

The lights have come, and the moonlight is like water.

After a loud fart, Li Yu suddenly realized that there was still a girl sleeping in the outer room, and he was immediately embarrassed.

There was still a feeling of exhaustion in the abdomen, but I had to squeeze it and try to discharge it quietly.

Suddenly, a burst of can't help but laugh "giggles" rang out.

In the outer room, the deep girl giggled and said: "Xiao Langjun, you better hurry up, in order to wait for your fart to finish, everyone is sleepy, ha, hahaha......"

The girl was so happy that Li Yu was so embarrassed that her face turned purple.

After gritting his teeth for a long time, Li Yu said: "You ......, I really want to drive you away!" ”

"Don't! You see how well-behaved people are, fetch water to wash your feet, make the bed and fold the quilt, and it's almost warm to the quilt, such a knowing little girl, where can you find it. ”

Shen Yi's voice was timid, and Chu Chu became pitiful.

She is not stupid, after two or three days of contact, she already knows that Li Yu is an excellent man. And he is also a general's staff, if he can climb this high branch, he will have a safety guarantee, if he is really driven away, where will she go? Although he said that he would leave Chang'an as a last resort, this is the hometown where she grew up, if she can, of course she won't go.

Therefore, although she knew that Li Yu had a higher probability of saying cruel things and was not sincere, she still cooperated and pretended to be pitiful.

In the dead of night, lonely men and widows, this sentence "warm quilt nest", listening to Li Yu's heart, but he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and subconsciously said: "Okay! Then you can give me a warm bed! ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.

Biting her lip deeply, Yi Fang couldn't help but jump up.

She is a little woman struggling at the bottom of society, and her romantic and unrealistic fantasies are far, far away from her, and her ideas are more practical. The man sleeping in the back room at the moment was a lover she would never have found under normal circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, she can only find a man who is also in the drama troupe, as a lifelong partner, and will have several children in the future, and also manage their profession, living humbly and hard.

If there are such conditions as Li Yu, and her character and temperament are so kind and easy to speak, even if she is an old grandfather with a long beard, she is also climbing, right? What's more, he is still so young, if he can entrust him with his life......

In fact, it's not that she hasn't thought about it, it's just that the gap between them is too big, and her strong inferiority complex makes her dare not think about it. Therefore, the sometimes half-truths and half-truths are just a temptation to advance and retreat under the premise that she doesn't want to be rejected and hurt her self-esteem.

Lonely men and widows, living in the same room, and having the night to cover their shame, their deep courage seems to have grown.

She could feel that her face was hot, and it must be redder than a monkey's belly at the moment, and her heart was beating fast, like a drum beating in her own ears. But that thought suddenly came out like a raging flood, and it could no longer be contained.

Perhaps, after a century of such a long time, Shen finally mustered up the courage: "It's ~~ What you said, I'm ...... I'm really giving you ~~ The warm quilt went to Oh......"

In a word, she trembled, and after saying a word, she was so frightened that she clung to the quilt, ready to retract her head at any moment. But......

But there was no sound in the back room.

After waiting for a long time, he raised his head from the pillow and listened attentively, and there was a slight snoring sound of Li Yu in the inner room.

Is he asleep?

That bastard actually fell asleep!

Deeply angry and ashamed, he turned around hatefully and muttered: "A soft egg with a colored gut and no thief's heart!" I really want Ming'er to go to Jixiang Sister! ”

"What do you say? Who?! ”

In the inner room, a loud roar from Li Yu suddenly sounded, almost scaring him deeply: "You didn't sleep?" If you're shocked, you're going to be scared to death! ”

Sitting up in a deep rage, and then listening to the sound of running barefoot on the floor, Li Yu actually ran out of the inner room, but this one likes to be naked. Sleeping rammers, in a hurry...... Ay! I can't see it.
