Chapter 423 Long Nights Without Sleep
In fact, many people have not slept this night.
Emperor Li Yuan didn't sleep, and sleeping next to him was a little concubine he had just taken in last month, who was sixteen years old, and he was already sleeping soundly at this time. He gently stroked the satin-soft skin of the girl in his arms, and was full of emotion.
In the past few years, Li Shimin has welcomed him with little intentions, greeted him in the morning and evening, welcomed him at every banquet, racked his brains to make him happy, in fact, it has gradually accumulated and precipitated in his heart, until today......
The people who once humiliated and grieved him are now his prisoners, in order to make him laugh and write poems and dances for him, think about it carefully, it should be stopped. After all, the past is gone, and the people are also his flesh and blood, do you want to bring that resentment to the coffin?
"Completed, Yuanji ......"
Li Yuan sighed softly, hugged the young body that was still a little young and childish curled up in his arms like a cat, and slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, Li Shimin has not slept yet.
There was a small lamp left in front of the tent, and the light penetrated into the tent, Li Shimin closed his eyes, but turned over and over several times like a pancake.
Finally, Empress Changsun couldn't help it, smiled and shook his hand.
"Your Majesty is still very happy today."
Li Shimin opened his eyes, and his wife was looking at him with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded lightly and said, "Well, my father finally let go of the mustard, you don't know, in the past few years, my heart has always been pinched, and it is not until today that I really let go." ”
As the emperor, Li Shimin had countless concubines, including Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty and the delicate and beautiful concubines of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, all of whom were included in the palace by him and were very favored. But this kind of favor is only due to lust, only the eldest grandson is innocent, and only this queen is the object he can confide in.
"After all, father and son ......"
Empress Changsun comfortingly stroked his palm: "Don't think about it so much, over the years, as a human king, you have been sleeping at night and governing the country, which has made the Tang Dynasty prosperous." You are a good emperor, and there will be a fair evaluation in the world and future generations. ”
Empress Changsun stretched out her soft palm, gently stroked his cheek, and said softly: "My husband, he will be the first emperor of the ages, take a good rest, I have a busy day today, and I will accompany my father to hunt tomorrow." ”
Li Shimin nodded, held his wife's soft, and let out a long breath, as if he had spit out a mouthful of turbid breath that had been pressed on his chest for many years.
At this time, in the tent of Li Tai, the king of Wei, the lights were also not extinguished.
The little fat man Li Tai was neatly dressed and paced back and forth in the room. He was still young, and he couldn't get home, and his expression seemed quite impatient.
"Sir, I really didn't expect that the prince would come to such a hand! Lingtai, that's where the providence of heaven lies! It's not as simple as building a platform. The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven inherits the will of Heaven, and inquires about the will of Heaven, this spiritual platform is where the Son of Heaven communicates with God, and hands it over to the prince to supervise the construction, this is not to tell the whole world that the prince is the prince? ”
Li Tai is extremely angry, no wonder he is in a hurry, he is the crown prince, he has an advantage over him by nature, and although he has his father's unusual favor, the ministers do not want to see him.
What kind of auxiliary ministers does the prince have? Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, the general Hou Junji, Li Anyan, Du He (the son of Prime Minister Du Ruhui), Zhao Jie (the son of Princess Changguang), these are confidants, and the ministers of the court also determined that he was the prince because he was the eldest son.
And what about him Li Tai? There was only one teacher that the emperor allocated to him, Wang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and one to Liu Xun. Again...... There is no one else. Ping Suli is relatively close to Fang Yiai, Wu Wang Li Ke, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu and others, but he can't talk about being a confidant yet.
By the way, there is also an imperial uncle, King Jing Li Yuanjing, the reincarnation of the god of the five senses, the lecherous king, after returning to Beijing this time, he suddenly changed his sex and became a Buddhist king.
But at this moment, Wang Shangshu is the only one who can be called to discuss the secret, and even Liu Xun is not among the chaperones because of his humble official position, so he cannot be called to discuss the matter.
Wang Shangshu nodded and said, "Your Highness, the crown prince is the prince of the country, there is no doubt about it." It is natural for the ministers to want to speculate and welcome the prince. Don't be impatient, it seems that the emperor should allow His Royal Highness to build a literary museum and recruit talents from all over the world, which has made the prince feel uneasy, which shows that even if he is a legitimate prince, he does not dare to ignore it. ”
When Li Tai heard this, his expression eased slightly, but he still said in frustration: "But the construction of the spiritual platform, didn't it still fall on his head?" Hey, my father just gave me a mansion in Yankangfang, and Cen Wenwen wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that I repaired the mansion and worked hard for the people and money, and my money was spent on the Literature Museum! It's really hard. ”
Wang Shangshu said with a smile: "But the emperor didn't pay attention to this matter after all, although he praised him for his loyalty to the imperial court, but then he gave His Highness the Furong Garden, which is thirty hectares of residence and seventeen miles of Zhouhui." His Royal Highness still remembers that Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were not respectful enough to His Highness, but the emperor summoned them to the palace and was furious. ”
Li Tai said with a smile: "Father really loves me!" ”
Wang Shangshu said: "That's it." The emperor is in the peak of spring and autumn, as long as His Royal Highness's holy family is not declining, and the coming days are long, what are you anxious about? ”
Li Tai nodded slowly.
Wang Shangshu said again: "The prince is the prince of the country, who doesn't know?" Now that he has won the mission of the superintendent to build the Lingtai, he is just to show the world once again that he is the crown prince! ”
Wang Shangshu smiled faintly and said to Li Tai: "And your Highness, you are not the same, when the Literature Museum is completed, Your Highness can recruit talents from all over the world, and you can confer official positions on yourself." This is a good sycamore tree, attracting the golden phoenix, over time, one will disappear the other, hehe......"
When Li Tai heard this, he suddenly brightened up and said, "That's right! Sir is right! That king didn't pay attention to him, he built his spiritual platform, and I built my Hongwen Pavilion, hum! When his spiritual platform is completed, he still returns to his East Palace, while I can recruit talents from all over the world and establish merit. ”
Wang Shangshu nodded approvingly: "Your Highness is right to think so." In this case, the minister will not bother, and His Royal Highness will accompany the Emperor and the Emperor early tomorrow morning......"
As soon as he said this, a terrible horn sounded outside the tent: "Woo~~~~~"
Wang Shangshu was a Wenchen, and he didn't understand the meaning of this horn, so he was stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Tai likes to be literary but not martial, and occasionally goes out of the city to hunt, mainly to spread mats under the willows, drink and write poems, and do that elegant thing, so he doesn't understand. The two were discussing this kind of important matter, but they couldn't help but feel weak, so they immediately changed color, opened the tent and rushed out.
At this time, because of the sound of the horn, not only the soldiers who were on patrol at night took action, but also the soldiers who were waiting on the periphery also got up one after another, and those who knew the meaning of the horn also drew their swords and swords and killed them outside the tent.
"Woo~~Woo~~~"
Li Yu held the horn and stood at the mouth of the tent, blowing loudly.
In the past few days, under the assault training of the Propaganda Division, I have never learned any rhythm and music theory, but some simple common sense and some simple musical instruments can be drummed out.
He is also a martial arts practitioner, with a long breath, and this horn blows in a good way.
Several armored men of the Tun Guard hurriedly rushed to Li Yu, raised the torch and took a photo, and a tall warrior in it was shocked, hurriedly grabbed two steps, and shouted: "Xiao Langjun, what's wrong with you?" ”
I saw Li Yu's nosebleed for a long time, and his face was confused, and it didn't seem scary.
Li Yu saw that everyone was picked up by him, so he took the horn, wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and said: "There are two fierce beasts, in the dark, I have never seen what they are, and now I don't know where to escape!" ”
The general next to him was suspicious, raised his torch and took a photo, and said suspiciously: "Beast? Why do you have a nose injury......
Li Yu hurriedly took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "The general is confused, does Your Majesty like to publicize the existence of assassins?" ”
The general let out an "ah" and said, "So?" ”
Li Yu said: "It's not a secret, just two tall men in night clothes came into the camp, and they were about to get out of the tent conveniently, and they hit a square, and they were hit by a person who split the face and punched them. The two Assassins had already sneaked into the night and fled. ”
Tie Wuhuan heard this, and said to the general: "General Wang, we will search the whole camp immediately, and only say to the outside world that it is a wild beast that has infiltrated, and if there is an assassin, there will be nowhere to hide, and it will not alarm too much and disturb the emperor's rest." I'll give you the details early tomorrow morning. ”
The general was overjoyed when he heard this, he was supposed to be in charge of the guard tonight, whether it was an assassin or a wild beast infiltrating, it was his dereliction of duty. But if he is handled so properly, even if he is punished now, his boss will know what is going on when he sees him like this, and he may be promoted soon.
It's just that to do this, Li Yu has to give way.
He subconsciously looked at Li Yu, Li Yu understood, nodded and said, "The general's plan is very good!" ”
The general was relieved and patted Li Yu on the shoulder: "Do you know Wuhuan?" Okay, I'll call Wuhuan to make an appointment with you another day, and we will have a drink together! A certain Zuo Yizhonglang will Wang Chao, your friend, Wang has made a deal! ”
After Wang Chao finished explaining, he turned around and left, drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted: "There are fierce beasts sneaking into the camp, strengthen vigilance, and search everywhere!" ”
Tie Wuhuan hurriedly explained to Li Yu: "Leave the rest to us, Xiao Langjun quickly go back to the tent to wrap up his injuries." ”
Li Yu saw that they were hurrying away with torches, so he covered his nose: "That little girl, she is really ruthless, she really beats!" ”
At this time, Yang Qianye, who had already returned to Princess Gaoyang, was standing behind her as if nothing happened, looking at the torches flowing everywhere in the camp, remembered the scene just now, and couldn't tell whether he was angry or funny.
That bastard, he didn't dodge or dodge. Yang Qianye knew his ability, and he expected that he would be able to dodge, but he was stunned and pestle there, at this time it was too late to close his fist, and he only had time to collect a few strengths, but he almost hit his nose crookedly.
But the bastard's next move was almost a bummer.
In his tent, there were a pile of musical instruments, and he actually pulled out a horn and threatened her with blood on his face: "If you have the ability, you will kill me, if you don't do it, I will blow it!" ”
Yang Qianye said blankly: "What are you doing with the horn?" ”
Li Yu said: "As soon as the horn sounds, everyone rushes to come, your identity is revealed, and you will die without a place to be buried." Listen to my kind advice, go back immediately, hide today, and wait for the opportunity to leave early tomorrow. ”
"You bastard! You ......"
"I'm going to blow dozens of numbers! Ten, nine, eight, seven......"
Could it be that you really killed him? Not to mention that she doesn't have a blade in her hand at the moment, even if she has, can she take revenge? Even if Kenn would take revenge, Yang Qianye didn't believe that this little slippery head was still willing to die at that time. In desperation, he had to plunder away.
At this moment, the entire camp is full of fire, after tonight, the emperor's side will inevitably be more heavily guarded, do I still have a chance to start?
Thinking of this, Yang Qianye sighed helplessly, raised his face, looked at the starry sky, and suddenly saw a meteor passing in the night sky, Yang Qianye hurriedly made a wish: "When I assassinate the emperor again, God bless me to leave this broom......"
Before she could finish her wish, the meteor departed in style.
