Chapter 2 Dugu's visit

"Zitong, come out!" Behind the screen of the imperial study, a beautiful woman in palace costume came out, wearing a red gold phoenix crown, and a huge pearl inlaid on it; Dressed in a purple and gold phoenix robe. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info golden head jade, there is no shortage of everything. On the whole, it looks graceful and luxurious.

"The concubine knocks to see the emperor". "Queen, please get up." The one who came was Yang Jian's queen, Lonely Jialuo, who married Yang Jian at the age of fourteen and had five sons and five daughters. When Yang Jian was born, because his mother once saw a pair of antlers growing on his head, Yang Jian's biological father thought it was an ominous omen, abandoned in the temple, was raised by a temple nun, and was welcomed back by his biological father when he grew up. And Dugu Jialuo has read a lot of books since he was a child, and his culture is good, plus the Dugu family has many powerful people and a huge family power, (Dugu Xin's three daughters became the queens of the Northern Zhou, Great Sui, and Tang Dynasty respectively after his death), and five of Dugu Xin's six sons were named national princes, so Yang Jian once came to the court with Dugu to govern the government after he ascended the throne and became emperor, and was called a double saint by the government and the opposition.

"You have heard it, when it comes to changing the crown prince, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are in favor. Gao Xi, He Ruobi, Su Wei, Li Delin and others were all ministers at the beginning of my ascension to the throne, and they wrote to me one after another, saying that the prince is the great treasure of the country, and it should not be abolished lightly; Li Mu and Yu Yi are so old and stupid that they don't care about the government. Li Gang, the assistant minister of the East Palace, said that the relationship between father and son is unbreakable, and the world's etiquette list cannot be taken lightly。。。。。。 Ay! Even your aunt and nephew couldn't tell you anything. I'm really alone now. ”

Dugu gently stroked the back of Emperor Wen of Sui, and slowly helped Yang Jian back to the dragon seat: "Shengshang, since ancient times, the abolition of the crown prince is a major matter of the country, and it should not be said lightly. I heard that Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Li family, was bedridden for many days, so it was better for the concubine to go to the Tang Mansion, first, to comfort his family, and secondly, to dredge him. Do you think it's okay? Your Majesty! ”

"Then it's hard work." As he spoke, Emperor Wen's hand was still stroking the queen's hand. The eyes are full of tenderness and thoughtfulness.

"Your Majesty. This is the Imperial Study! "A coquettish shout. There was still a hint of shyness in the queen's eyes, although they have been married for decades, what woman doesn't like her husband to be with her. "Wangzitong, go and come back quickly! I'm waiting for your good news in the palace! Yang Jian looked at Queen Dugu's departing figure with affection, and his eyes contained more expectations.

"Your Excellency goes home." With the concierge singing loudly, Li Yuan got out of the sedan chair and entered the door.

"Husband." Mrs. Dou heard the sound of her husband returning to the house, and hurriedly took her children out to greet her.

"Madame, I'm back."

"Hello father. I want daddy to hug. If you don't hold it, don't let it go. Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's youngest sister Li Xiuning rushed to his side quickly, pulling Li Yuan's court clothes and not letting go.

Mrs. Dou scolded with a smile: "Shimin, Xiuning, don't mess around. Daddy just came back, so he should let Daddy freshen up. ”

"No, no, no! Daddy doesn't see anyone at dawn, and he doesn't play with me when it's dark, so I want Daddy to hug me. Xiuning relied on being a girl and would not retreat. Li Yuan couldn't do it, so he hugged one in one hand and smiled helplessly at Mrs. Dou. And Li Jiancheng's third brother Li Yuanba coughed from time to time because he was born weak, but tears kept rolling in his eyes. The fourth brother Li Yuanji walked behind and whispered to Li Jiancheng: "It's like he's the only one who is his father's son, and we all jumped out of the cracks in the stones." Looking at these two brothers, among them, Yuanji lived and died with Li Jiancheng in the future Xuanwumen, and Li Jiancheng could only touch the heads of Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji, and comforted him softly. At this time, Li Yuan, who walked in from the middle gate, saw Li Jiancheng, immediately put Shimin and Xiuning down, and walked quickly towards Li Jiancheng.

"Haha, built, you wake up, ancestors bless. Mrs. Kuai, prepare incense and candle offerings, I will go to the ancestral hall to incense to thank my ancestors for their blessings. Looking at Li Yuan's excited eyes, a warm current welled up in Li Jiancheng's heart. This is Li Jiancheng's father, a monarch who founded a great dynasty, and an old man who suffered the loss of his son in his old age. In the previous life, Li Jiancheng's father left early due to poverty and illness, so that Li Jiancheng could not fulfill his filial piety in front of him, and now Li Jiancheng must change history and never let the tragedy happen again. Just as Li Yuan's family was about to go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, a family member hurriedly announced, saying that someone from the palace had passed the decree, and the queen mother would visit and ask the lord to take over quickly. Li Yuan immediately sorted out the crown belt, and ordered the four brothers Li Jiancheng to immediately put on specific court clothes, the middle door was wide open, and the whole family knelt to greet them.

The queen's guard of honor came from afar and stopped in front of the door. "Minister Li Yuan didn't know that the queen mother had arrived, and he missed the welcome, so he asked the mother to forgive him."

"Shude, why bother, you and I, when did we see each other like this. Let's all be even! The children are still so young, what should I do if I kneel badly! Queen Dugu saw that several of Li Yuan's children were also kneeling there, and quickly let Li Yuan's five children be flattened.

"Grandma." Li Shimin threw himself into Dugu's arms with a milky voice, desperately coquettish. And the Dugu clan seems to enjoy this kind of flesh and blood affection. And Li Jiancheng secretly saw the jealous anger that kept surging in Li Yuanji's eyes, as if he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"It's no wonder that I once heard the legend of the old family in the house that when Chu Shimin was born, suddenly a Taoist priest from Youfang broke into the house and said that Li Shimin would help the people in the future, and he disappeared after speaking. So his parents named Li Shimin Shimin. Later, when he entered the palace for the first time at the age of three, Emperor Wen and Empress Dugu asked him about the meaning of the world, and Li Shimin replied that his parents hoped that he would be a prosperous subject under the rule of the Great Sui. Emperor Wen and Empress Dugu both praised Li Shimin for his intelligence. Maybe Li Shimin's ambition to be unwilling to be a man began at this time! Li Jiancheng saw it in his eyes and said secretly in his heart.

"Built, aunt and grandmother, I really can't imagine that you recover so quickly, the mourning family didn't bring any formal gifts, this jade pendant was given by a senior monk when I married the emperor, and it can be worn on the body to ward off evil and avoid disasters, you wear it on your body!" Li Jiancheng immediately knelt down to thank him, and slammed his head on the ground.

"What a sensible child!" Queen Dugu approvingly.

"Niangniang, the gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, this is what should be done when it is built." Through his performance just now, Li Jiancheng knew that he was one step closer in Li Yuan's heart.

In the main hall of the Li Mansion, there is a picture of a tiger descending the mountain in the middle, because the founder of the Tang Mansion is Li Jiancheng's great-grandfather Li Hu, so when Li Yuan became an adult, he asked Fang Chuanyue, a famous tiger painter at that time, to draw this picture of the tiger descending the mountain, and the tiger was used as the totem of the Li family.

"Shude, you and my aunt and nephew don't have to be formal, and the children should go out to play! I'm afraid it's a little restrained in front of me. ”

"Yes! The minister retired. ”

"Grandma, I'll quit first." Li Jiancheng withdrew with his younger brothers and sisters, and Li Shimin did not forget to be coquettish in front of Queen Dugu before leaving.

The concubine also retired first. Go to the kitchen and prepare dinner tea. "My mother went to the kitchen to prepare, and Li Jiancheng took his younger siblings to the garden.

"Shude, today I see that your eldest son is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and your second son is smart and clever, you are really blessed! Unlike me, that Yang Yong, who only sleeps in flowers and willows all day long, and does not do his job, alas! After speaking, I don't know whether it was intentional or sad, and a trace of tears flashed in my eyes.

"Don't worry, the queen is still young, and in time, he will learn from the pain and reform himself."

"Shude, you are my mother's nephew, there are some things I won't hide from you, I and the Holy Lord want to change the King of Jin as the heir, I want you to support the Holy Lord in the court, and the new lord will ascend the throne in the future, so you can be a founding father." I don't know what you think. ”

"Ahh This is a family affair for His Majesty. The minister never dared to speculate. ”

"Huh! Your Majesty said that you are slippery, and the mourning family still doesn't believe it, but I didn't expect you to be really slippery, you and I might as well be open and honest, do you have something unspeakable. ”

"Since the mother has a purpose, the minister will be open and honest. Sage Zhou Liyun: The young and the old are orderly, and the descendants are different. Today, all the princes are from their mothers, so there is no distinction between concubines. And only the young and the old are orderly, although the prince occasionally makes a small mistake, but there is no big fault, if he casually abolish his throne and establish the king of Jin, then the king of Shu Xiu, the king of Han will forgive the two royal highnesses will form their own private parties, and there will be plots, then the world will be chaotic, and the society will be uneasy. As the minister of the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the minister to be loyal to His Majesty, and it will be difficult for him to repay the expectations of the people. The upbringing of his uncle and aunt. Therefore, only Mo Ran was speechless, so as not to 。。。。。。 I am really ashamed of my aunt, and I hope that my aunt will forgive her sins. ”

Dugu looked at Li Yuan's low head and cried, and was speechless for a long time. Then he helped Li Yuan up and smiled: "You also have your difficulties, and the mourning family knows." But only once. The next is not an example. You must know that the sage also has teachings, calling the king as the minister, the father as the son, and now the monarch and father are embarrassed, you don't want to repay, but you are speechless to avoid trouble, how can there be a little way to be a minister, forget it, you have been timid and afraid of things since you were a child, and you never come out, your uncle will say it from the mourning family, but you remember, the big thing is irreversible, don't block the car with your mantis arm, so as not to make your uncle unhappy. Spread the will of the mourning family and return to the palace. ”

"Thank you to the queen mother, and send the queen mother."

With the singing of the queen's mother returning to the palace, Li Yuan looked at Luan Jia who was going away and sighed softly.

Imperial Palace Taiji Hall, "Zitong has worked hard." What does Li Yuan think? ”

"Your Majesty, Li Yuan is really the minister of Sheji! The concubine talked with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan thought about the plan of the society and the well-being of all the people。。。。。。 ”

Emperor Wen of Sui silently listened to what the queen said, bowed his head and pondered silently.

Seeing off the queen, Li Yuan returned to the study and sighed blindly. Unconsciously, a jade hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Oh! It's ma'am! ”

"Husband, why are you so worried?"

"Madam, there will be a big chaos in the situation between the DPRK and China。。。。。。"

In the garden, Yuanba was carried back to the room by the nurse because of his physical illness, while Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, two small things, refused to give in to each other because of grabbing a swing. Li Yuanji said that those who are brothers should be humble on the grounds of brothers, friends and brothers, quoted scriptures one by one, and said it foamingly. I have to say that the early childhood education of aristocratic families is really good, and they have used ancient Chinese and ancient poems to enlighten men since they were young. And Li Jiancheng could only persuade this and that among them, the two little ghosts sat on the ground angrily, staring at each other. Forehead! Xiuning, that little girl is standing under the window of the study and listening to the root of the wall? Li Jiancheng patted her gently, and the little girl was startled, and saw that it was Li Jiancheng, with a tree in his little hand, "shhh The four children, one of the three children, listened to the conversation of their parents.

"The two saints are dissatisfied with the crown prince, and it seems that the king of Jin will enter the East Palace and become the new prince soon. Back then, my aunt wanted to marry you to the King of Jin, but God was in me, if the King of Jin entered the East Palace, someone would mention the old things in his ear. My Li family is in danger! After Li Yuan finished speaking, he seemed to be unable to stand and sat on the chair.

"But the two saints have made up their minds, if you don't express your position for a long time, I'm afraid you will be jealous of the two saints, and it's not good for you!" Hearing this, Li Jiancheng couldn't help sneering in his heart, what did you Li Yuan say in a dignified manner, it turned out that he had some old grievances with Yang Guang and tried to protect himself.

"Acher!"

"Who's out there." Li Yuan asked loudly, and Li Jiancheng walked into the study with several younger brothers and sisters bowing their heads.

"Look at you guys who are still a bit of a nobleman. Shimin, Yuanji, and Xiuning are still young and do not understand the rules, so they are exempt from punishment. Built, you are the eldest brother, you don't know the rules of the house, you actually violated it publicly, come here, take the family law, I want to teach this unscrupulous son a lesson. ”

"Master, Jiancheng has just recovered from his injury, by all means, I hope the master will be gracious!" "I hope my father will be gracious." The mother knelt down with several younger siblings to intercede for Li Jiancheng, especially the mother, who looked at Li Jiancheng with tears in her eyes while pleading.

"That's it, go to the ancestral hall and kneel for one night, and don't get up until dawn." This night, Li Yuan looked at his wife lying beside him and stayed awake all night. And Emperor Wen in the palace also looked at the stars in the sky like Li Yuan.

Attached: It is recorded in the old and new Tang books that when Emperor Wen of Sui ascended the throne, Dugu chose a concubine for Yang Guang and chose Dou for the first time, just because Dou was angry with Yang's usurpation of power - (when he was a child, he heard that Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou regime, and hated himself for not being a man, and said: If it is a man, he will behead Yang for his uncle), and he chose a son-in-law with an arrow to shoot Jin Feng, and Li Yuan shot an arrow in the phoenix's eye and got a beauty. There are also wild history records that Li Yuan met Dou in his early years, so Dou did not marry Yang Guang.
