Chapter 205: Li Yuan is here
Snowflakes are flying outside the window, but the window is warm like spring, Princess Pingyang sits in front of the window with one hand on her cheek, looking at the snow outside blankly, a pair of beautiful big eyes look a little indifferent, as if she has fallen into contemplation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although Princess Pingyang deliberately did not return to Chang'an, and stayed in the courtyard outside the city for many years, the news in the city still reached her ears from time to time, such as this time her eldest brother suggested to break up the Tiance Mansion, in order to weaken the military power in the hands of the second brother Li Shimin, as a result, Li Shimin rushed back to Chang'an day and night, and as soon as he entered the city, he entered the palace to see her father Li Yuan, and their father and son talked for a long time, no one knew what they talked about, but after this conversation, the father's attitude became wavering again.
Li Yuan's attitude wavered again, and naturally Li Jiancheng was in a hurry, but during this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin almost took turns to go to Li Yuan, and it was also to blame Li Yuan for not making up his mind and vacillating between the two sons, and as a result, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin used their own means to win support, which also made the court fight endlessly, and conflicts broke out in the court every day.
Thinking of the above, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but sigh lightly, sometimes she really hated herself for being incompetent and couldn't stop the fight between the two brothers, but thinking about it on the other hand, no matter how capable she was, she couldn't turn the throne of the Tang Dynasty into two, and her two brothers were equally excellent, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, not to mention that two dragons are fighting, and it is almost inevitable that the world will not be able to live in peace.
"Knock knock~" was also in a daze in the snow opposite Princess Pingyang, suddenly heard a few crisp knocks from behind, when she turned her head, she saw a warm man snuggling by the door, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth and said to her: "Such a good snow scene, isn't it a pity to nest in the room in a daze?" ”
"Why are you here?" Seeing Li Xiu by the door, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but show a warm smile and said, since her mother died, Li Xiu's appearance should be the most beautiful thing she has encountered in her life, and even the tribulations she has experienced are nothing compared to this incident.
"Hehe, Chang'an City is so lively, I'm worried that someone will be cranky, so I'll accompany her!" Li Xiu walked in with a smile at this time, the water on the stove had been boiled, he took it down and put it on the table, took some tea leaves with a teaspoon and put it in the teacup, and made a cup of tea for Princess Pingyang and put it in front of her.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile slightly, with him by her side, her mood was indeed better, and she took a sip of tea at the moment, and then said: "Listen to Uncle Ma, you seem to have a new idea, and you have been busy at home during this time, how about it, have you succeeded?" ”
"It's almost, it's easier than I thought, it's just that the things you need are not easy to find, so it took a while." Li Xiu replied with a smile, and when he said this, he suddenly had an idea, and immediately suggested again, "The princess might as well go out with me for a walk, and by the way, come to my house to see the idea I came up with, you should be very interested!" ”
In the past few days, because of the two brothers, Princess Pingyang has also spent a lot of energy, feeling a little tired and usually too lazy to move, but since Li Xiu personally invited her to go out, Princess Pingyang also quickly nodded and agreed, and asked people to take a fur fur to put on, after all, it was still snowing outside, and it was not possible to keep out the cold without a fur fur.
Li Xiu also put on a fur fur when he went out, which was given to him by Princess Pingyang in winter, it is said that Princess Pingyang hunted a bear a few years ago, and it happened that Li Xiu did not have a fur fur, so she made one for Li Xiu herself.
Speaking of fur, there is no cotton in this era of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to keep out the cold, you can only wear fur, nobles wear fox fur and bear skin, ordinary people wear sheepskin and dog skin, some poor people can't afford to buy fur at all, they can only wear a few more linen clothes to keep warm, and even some people stuff straw in the mezzanine of clothes, and you can often see bloated people on the road, and the clothes are stuffed with straw.
At the moment, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang went out of the courtyard together, the snow had not melted a few days ago, and it snowed again today, but compared with the last heavy snow, this time the snow was much smaller, like fluffy snowflakes flying in the wind, and occasionally snowflakes drilled through the gaps in the clothes and fell into the neck, making people feel the slightest coolness.
Looking at the snow-white scenery of mountains and rivers in front of her, Princess Pingyang also felt that her heart was wide-minded, and she was accompanied by Li Xiu, even in the snow, it made people feel warm in their hearts, and the previous troubles seemed to be thrown out of the clouds at once, everyone's path was their own choice, since they chose their own path, then let them go!
Although the snow was not heavy, Li Xiu was still very intimate to open the umbrella for Princess Pingyang, and the two walked side by side, talking and laughing from time to time, looking like a pair of beautiful people from a distance.
At the same time, in the palace of Chang'an City, Li Yuan, who was wearing reading glasses, looked at the blank holy decree in front of him, picked up the brush several times but put it down again, and finally sighed helplessly, took off his glasses and threw down the brush and stood up, and then came to the window and looked at the snow outside silently.
Originally, he also felt that the military power in the hands of King Qin was too heavy, and he wanted to reduce the military power in Li Shimin's hands, but Li Shimin came from the north in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the palace, he cried to him that his eldest brother wanted to harm him, and after he raised troops from Taiyuan, he made great military achievements for the Tang Dynasty, and even took off his clothes to show the scars on his body, which made Li Yuan shake his determination all of a sudden, and did not take away the military power in Li Shimin's hands for the time being.
It was precisely because of Li Yuan's hesitation that in the next period of time, the ministers in the court were almost divided into two factions, arguing over whether to break up the Tiance Mansion, and at the same time, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also ran to him all day long, one urged him to analyze the benefits of the Tiance Mansion, and the other cried that it was not easy for him, and with the help of family affection, Li Yuan could not make up his mind.
Thinking of the above things, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of irritability in his heart, speaking of the fight between the two sons, Li Yuan knows better than anyone else, in fact, in his heart, the love for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin is the same, it is difficult to say which one is more favored, plus the abilities of these two sons are comparable, one is good at military affairs, the other is good at government affairs, and they have paid a lot of hard work and sweat for the establishment of Datang, it is already very rare for others to have such a son, but he has two at once, But this became the most distressing thing for him.
However, as Li Yuan gets older, the more long-term things he considers, as a founding king, he must set an example for future generations in the matter of establishing a prince, and the Central Plains Dynasty has always had a dispute between establishing a long and a virtuous person, in terms of talent, Li Jiancheng is not worse than Li Shimin, and he is the eldest son, which also makes Li Yuan slowly inclined to Li Jiancheng, the eldest son, this time he intends to split the Tiance Mansion, which is also the beginning of his tendency to Li Jiancheng, but when it comes to the end, he is a little undecided.
"Your Majesty, King Qin has not been seen outside the palace again, I wonder if Your Majesty has summoned you?" At this moment, I suddenly saw a waiter running quickly to report.
"Nope!" Li Yuan was upset about this matter, and now when he heard Li Shimin running again, he was even more irritable at the moment, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that his tone was a little heavier, and he spoke again at the moment, "You go and tell King Qin, just say that my body is a little unwell, and I am resting now, let him come back tomorrow!" ”
"Whoa!" The waiter said yes and then turned around and went out, Li Yuan in front of the window sighed again at this time, the two sons asked to see him at every turn, it was simply forcing him to make a statement as a father, but he didn't understand his current mood at all.
Thinking of the above, Li Yuan suddenly became a little angry with his two sons, and at the same time missed his deceased wife Dou even more, although she is a woman, she is wise and decisive, which is by no means comparable to ordinary men, and the teaching of her children is also very strict, if she is still alive, I am afraid that as long as she says a word, neither of the two sons dares to say anything.
"The two sons are not caring, but fortunately, I still have a daughter to talk to!" Thinking of his deceased wife, Li Yuan quickly thought of his daughter Pingyang, who was most similar to his deceased wife, at this time, he suddenly wanted to see Pingyang and confide his troubles to her. ”
With Li Yuan's order, the relevant people in the palace immediately took action, and after a while, Li Yuan went out of the palace in the escort of thousands of guards, and rushed to the outside of the city.
Li Yuan rode on a horse to face the wind and snow, which made him suddenly recall the pride of leading the troops to fight when he was young, and the whole person felt as if he was a few years younger, and the irritability in his heart also calmed down a little.
An hour later, Li Yuan finally rushed to the courtyard where Princess Pingyang lived, seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, in fact, he also knew that the reason why Pingyang moved here was that he didn't want to see the fight between the two brothers, but it was a pity that today, as a father, he still had to bother her because of this matter.
The father came to visit his daughter, so naturally he didn't need to report it, but Li Yuan went to the other courtyard but didn't find Pingyang, and immediately called a steward to ask, but the other party was stumbling for a long time, and finally he finally understood that Pingyang actually went out with Li Xiu. Hearing this, Li Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy! (To be continued.) )
