Chapter 70: The Second Hero of Lingyan Pavilion
Changning Palace is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, and is a scenic spot in later generations.
In addition to being a monument of the Tang Dynasty, it was also used as a new house for his son because Jiang lived here during the Republic of China.
Chen Yu's most memory of Changning Palace is that there is a swimming pool nearby, and he learned to swim there in his previous life. It's a pity that time and space have changed, things are different from people, and everything has changed.
At this time, Changning Palace was only a royal palace, palace buildings, pavilions, carved beams and paintings, and lush flowers and trees. With the Qinling Mountains in the distance, the Weihe River and the Duling Mountains in the near distance, they form a good autumn scenery together.
It's a pity that these are exclusive to the royal family, ordinary subjects don't have this eye blessing at all, Chen Yu followed the eldest grandson Chong to have a chance to take a look, but unfortunately the emperor came too fast, and it was a top priority.
The Janissaries of the brigade escorted the huge dragon chariot to come, this is the first time after the Xuanwu Gate Change, the Emperor Taishang left the Taiji Palace, the momentum is naturally grand and grand, highlighting the royal prestige, but also showing Li Shimin's "filial piety" by the way.
The back of the chariot, Ma Xiaoxiao, I don't know how many palace cars pass, every time the curtain is raised, you can see the picturesque clouds and temples, and the pretty posture.
There is no doubt that this is the concubines in the palace.
It is a tragedy that the emperor has become the emperor, and Li Yuan is naturally unwilling, which is an indisputable fact.
But the concubines who became concubines had no complaints, they didn't care at all, and they were not affected in the slightest.
is still pampered, well-dressed, and has no change in status and life, and it can even be said that it is better than before.
The second concubines Zhang and Yin were executed, and the biggest benefit was these concubines, they could see Li Yuan more and get more favors, as for whether it was the emperor or the emperor who favored them, what did it matter?
On the contrary, they are more likely to have the opportunity to conceive dragon seeds, and the children they give birth to will still be able to be knighted princes and princesses in the future, and they will still be able to be concubines of a certain country in the future to provide benefits for their mother's family.
What's the difference?
In this situation of the Wude Dynasty, the concubines in the harem never thought about it, and they never had the opportunity to become queens.
There are several brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and they have never touched their son's crooked thoughts of becoming the prince.
Therefore, they did not have the slightest resentment towards Li Shimin, and even thanked Li Shimin to a certain extent, otherwise where would Li Yuan have so much time to accompany them?
As for back then, Li Jiancheng wooed Zhang and Yin's second concubines, but he didn't care about them at all.
On the contrary, because Zhang and Yin's concubines are favored, where do they have the opportunity to share their favor, and their lives are miserable.
Especially the beauties that Li Shimin recently arranged to enter the palace, their identities and tasks are destined, and the pillow wind gusts.
Li Yuan knew it and didn't say anything, just indulged in lust, trying to forget about the unpleasantness.
Wine has never been separated, and wine has naturally become a major hobby of Li Yuan.
A few days ago, her daughter-in-law, Changsun, recommended a piece of wine to her, saying that it was a new peach blossom brew, and asked Grandpa to taste Yunyun.
Li Yuan didn't take it seriously at first, but after tasting it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was much stronger than Jiannan's burning spring, and he immediately liked it greatly.
This is why the eldest grandson Chong was ordered to go to Fanchuan and send a thousand liters of peach blossoms to Changning Palace with Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was on the side of the road at the moment, respectfully greeting the emperor.
Of course, it is natural to look up and peek a few times from time to time, and the imperial appearance of the Emperor Taishang cannot be seen. Except for a slight appearance on Suzaku Street to appease the hearts of the world, Li Yuan never showed up again.
As for the concubines, although they deliberately lifted the car window from time to time to show their faces, their eyes were like waves, Chen Yu was not interested.
On the contrary, it was Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who was escorted, who attracted his attention, and the second-ranked hero of Lingyan Pavilion was evident in his status in the Zhenguan Dynasty.
As soon as Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died, Li Xiaogong can be said to be one of the most powerful factions in the clan.
He did not participate in the Xuanwumen Change, he seemed to be neutral at that time, and he did not favor either side. This is indeed common sense, whether it is the identity of the clan, or the military generals who have fought in all directions and have made great achievements, neutrality is the best choice.
Whether Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin is the emperor, they will value him and use him a lot.
However, judging from the current situation, maybe Li Xiaogong has already fallen to Li Shimin, otherwise how could such a major errand as Li Yuan be handed over to him?
Although Li Yuan will be more psychologically comfortable when escorted by the children of the clan, it is also dangerous. If Li Yuan had any ideas and persuaded Li Xiaogong, it would be a mess in an instant.
The most suitable candidate for escort is definitely the old general of the Qin Palace, but Li Shimin chose to believe in Li Xiaogong, and the reason is obvious.
Chen Yu noticed that Li Xiaogong's figure was not extraordinarily burly, but his cold aura was very intimidating, especially a pair of eyes like electricity, which were sharp and deep, which made people daunting.
"The king of Hejian County is one of the most famous generals in my dynasty, and he led the army to conquer Du Fuwei and Xiao Milling in that year, and won a complete victory."
"It can be said that half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River were laid down by the king of Hejian County, and his prestige in the court is extremely high, even my father has to give three points."
As soon as Cheng Chumo said this, Chen Yu's eyes when he looked at Li Xiaogong suddenly became a little more respectful.
Who is Lao Cheng? Although he hasn't seen it, he has long heard of his reputation and can convince him, but there are really few people, and Li Xiaogong is really the number one person.
"I'll bring fifty liters of good wine and send it to the King of Hejian later."
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "In this way, Du Wei and Chu Mo can have a better time here, Chen Yu...... Do you want to go and meet the king of the county together, and make a familiar face? ”
"Is this necessary?" Chen Yu asked softly, Li Shimin has seen it all, is it necessary to hug other people's thighs?
"You... How many people ask to see him, the king of Hejian County may not take a second look, and now he only uses fifty liters of wine as a stepping stone, and you have made a lot of money. ”
"If you have to say that...... If the prince is willing to see a nobody like me, it is also appropriate to pay a visit to the elders. ”
Helpless, Chen Yu had no choice but to agree and follow everyone to Changning Palace.
With the eldest grandson rushing there, plus a cart of wine, even if he was dressed in cloth, Chen Yu was able to calmly enter the heavily guarded forbidden place of Changning Palace.
There is nothing special about this move, but it seems unusual in the eyes of special people.
In Changning Palace, among the onlookers, several inconspicuous people kept staring at the team, especially Li Yuan's car driver, and Li Xiaogong, who was on horseback, with a strong hatred in his eyes.
It's just that in front of the menacing Praetorian Guards, they had no choice but to retreat far away unwillingly.
Changning Palace is close at hand, but the strict guards make them prohibitive, difficult to approach, and they must be a little lost and regretful.
However, when they saw Chen Yu dressed in cloth and the cart of wine, some people couldn't help but think.
