After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the sky was bright, Li Shimin took his eldest grandson and his own group of people out of Chang'an early in the morning and went straight to Yushan County.

During the festival, it should have been the time when the civil and military officials came to him to find him and the Qin Wangfu was attached to the relationship, but there was a scene of the Yuan-Ri court meeting, except for the people of his own Li Shimin family, no one from the central government came, and compared with the traffic in front of the prince's door, it was to make a snub in front of the door.

Out of the gate of Chang'an, looking at the empty field, Li Shimin let out a long breath of stuffiness in his chest, although the villages and towns he passed along the way were celebrating the festival, he only saw the ashes left by the prayer in front of the door, and more of it was the silence in the dilapidated villages with residual snow.

I think that the people of the Tang Dynasty are still in such a difficult situation in the nine years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but there is no place to display their ambitions, and it is difficult to govern the country! It's even more difficult to show your statecraft! Thinking of this, Li Shimin let out a long roar, and as soon as his legs clamped the war horse, he ran out and galloped.

Entering Shenhe Bay, the snow on the streets of the village has already been swept clean, the babies are running and shouting on the street in new clothes, and the couplets posted on the door are all happy, and the handwriting is written by Xiao Zheng. Seeing that the old master Yu Shinan shook his head and sighed, saying that it was Mr. Xiao's such a good word, so bad, and it was too wasteful.

"Erlang, Mr. Xiao is such a good handwriting, in addition to giving back two words to Mr. Yu, you see who he has written to the house, but now he must have lowered his body to splash ink on the farmers in this village, which shows that Mr. Xiao is sincere for the people, and if this person is in a high position in the future, it will be a blessing for all the people. I am the first to come back to this Zhuangzi, what you said is really true, although it is winter, this village is full of vitality, and every household makes people feel comfortable to watch," the eldest grandson said to Li Shimin while walking on the street.

Xiao Zheng, who got the news, welcomed people into the courtyard, and more than 30 people came at once, and the courtyard couldn't live, but it was also very simple, more than half of the entourage went to each house to live in a minute, anyway, there was no shortage of places to eat and sleep after everyone's new house was built.

Drinking and eating is the best way to entertain guests since ancient times, Xiao Zheng personally cooked more than a dozen new dishes to make a group of people feast, Li Shimin ate even more happily, a few glasses of wine into the stomach to sweep away the depression of the New Year.

I all know that Xiao Zheng's family has a distinguished guest, and when I inquired that it was King Qin, the small village was boiling, and the people didn't know how to toss the court above, but they only knew that this King Qin was the biggest official I had seen in my life. Everyone now has money, food, and clothing in their hands, and inviting guests for Mr. Xiao is also to increase Mr. Xiao's face, so Li Shimin and his wife go to the east and west to eat every day.

However, Li Shimin is really able to put down his posture towards the people from the bones, and in Wang's family, the old man called Wang Quan was full of red light, and he was full of wine and food out of the door, Li Shimin said to Xiao Zheng: "Brother Xian, if my whole country in the Tang Dynasty is like this, then the world is worry-free, and the old man Wang Quan also invited me to come over to see when the Spring Society was ploughing, the simple feelings of these villagers are much better than the Eryu and I in the court, so that I can stay comfortable."

"That's it!" Looking up at the bright moon in the sky with a slightly drunken sense of wine, Xiao Zheng said casually: "

Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year.

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

The flute and drum follow the spring society closely, and the clothes are simple and ancient.

From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night.

"Good poetry! The artistic conception of Qing and Jingming is good, "not only Li Shimin and his wife, but also the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and others are all amazed.

When he arrived in Xiao Zheng's house, Jin'er made a cup of ginseng tea for everyone, and then went out with his eldest grandson to talk to Xiao's mother in his room.

Seeing that there was no one else, Xiao Zheng said to Li Shimin with a smile: "My 'mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village' is also for His Highness."

"Virtuous brother, you might as well come and hear it," Li Shimin said.

Presumably, His Royal Highness has felt the attitude of the government and the opposition towards His Highness, since Jinyang, it is Li Shimin's strategy to raise troops, and the sage has promised to make His Royal Highness the crown prince several times, but it is a picturesque cake to satisfy hunger every time. Just now, His Royal Highness returned to me, if the villages of the Tang Dynasty are like Shenhe Bay, the world will be governed, but it is not your turn to speak King Qin, how to govern? I have said in the past that if the prince does not die, there will be no peace in the world. The indecision of the saint also caused the government decrees of the court and China to conflict, and hastened the fact that His Royal Highness and the crown prince would no longer fight each other, but sooner or later."

When the eldest grandson Wuji and Yu Chi Laohei heard Xiao Zhengdang's words come out so bluntly, everyone looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't expect Xiao Zheng to start such a topic, and was silent for a while before saying: "Cannibalism, ancient and modern, great evil, I'm not stupid, I also know that I am in danger now, but I want to wait for the two of them to raise troops against me before raising a division of benevolence and righteousness, can you recognize the same?" ”

Before others could speak, Wei Chi Laohei stood up and said: "Your Highness, now that the matter has come to this, if Your Highness hesitates again, and does not want to stay by your side and wait for death together, you will return to the grass tomorrow and be a happy thief leader."

Seeing that the opportunity had come, the eldest grandson Wuji got up from his chair and said to Li Shimin: "If Your Highness doesn't make a decision, I will also learn from General Chi and leave Your Highness."

Fang Xuanling also said: "The minister agrees with Mr. Changsun's opinion."

Seeing that everyone was incited, Xiao Zheng said again: "The prince and Yuan Ji have tried to put His Highness to death many times, if they make another move, plus there are saints on the side to help, presumably His Highness will not escape this catastrophe, if His Royal Highness does not agree with my suggestions, Xiao will not return to Chang'an, here I will continue to be my Lang Zhonghe Mr. Teacher."

"Your Highness has already made up your mind to kill the crown prince and others" The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly knelt down, and the room behind him all knelt down.

Damn, you're pretending to be a little too much! looked at Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, who were kneeling on the ground, and looked at themselves vigorously, damn it! There was no way, Xiao Zheng had to grit his teeth and kneel.

Li Shimin was both moved and confused, and after picking up Xiao Zheng and the others one by one, he smiled bitterly: "At that time, when the Jinyang Incident occurred, it was I who persecuted today's saints, and now you are coercing this king to kill each other. ”

"Then what if you don't need Your Highness to act directly?" Xiao Zheng said to Li Shimin.

"Then I will follow your wishes," Li Shimin said categorically to Xiao Zheng.

"That's good, as long as Your Highness agrees, you will listen to the next word......." Xiao Zheng said to everyone.

The next day, everything was as if last night's incident had not happened, everyone was still eating and drinking, but this group of people also became very interested in the chess invented by Xiao Zheng, and after they were free, everyone began to make tea and fight against each other.

Bai Chuanli's chess skills have surpassed everyone, Li Shimin went to Bai Chuanli as soon as he got off chess, "playing chess to find a master" It seems that Li Shimin has the essentials. No matter how badly he was killed, Li Shimin never regretted chess, and his chess skills were much better than Sun Simiao.

Bai Chuanli, who is in his seventies, is still deaf and clear-sighted, and after putting the chess pieces on the table for a while, Bai Chuanli said to Li Shimin: "King Qin, this chess game is like a court game, not necessarily whoever has more sons can win, but it depends on whose tricks are more clever, the key is to catch the opponent's death hole and hit it with a blow, will!" Dead chess! ”。

Seeing that the dominant game was checkmate by the opponent, Li Shimin not only did not get angry, but also arched his hand and said to Bai Chuanli: "Thank you Mr. Bai for your advice."

"Don't dare to be, come, let's play the next game" Bai Chuanli said with a smile.

After a few days, dozens of people left Shenhe Bay and set off for Chang'an, and when they returned, Li Shimin did not ride a horse but sat in the car with his eldest grandson. The eldest grandson hugged his arm and said: "Erlang, how lucky you are, there are so many people who live and die together for you, Mr. Fang, Mr. Xiao and others are all talented, we can't live up to them when we have the opportunity."

"That is, these people are persuading me from the bottom of my heart, and we should also prepare for it."
