Chapter 69: The Lion and the Tiger
"Little nephew, meet Mrs. Dou!"
Yan Qing looked calm, stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
Don't look at his lack of fluctuations on the surface, but in his heart, there are ups and downs. Tang Guogong and Mrs. Dou...... Isn't that Li Yuan's wife, the famous Empress Taimu in history? In history, the description of Empress Taimu is not too detailed, and there are only some intermittent chapters. But these chapters are enough to make the image of Queen Taimu vividly outlined.
Mrs. Dou is the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and her uncle is the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty married the Turks and took a Turkic princess. Theoretically, this is a political marriage, so the emperor has no feelings for the Turkic princess, and is not even willing to spend the night in the palace, very cold. Mrs. Dou, who was eight years old at the time, stood up and said to her uncle: "Uncle, since you married a Turkic princess for the sake of peace between the Turks and the Central Plains, you should treat the queen well for the sake of this hard-won peace." Otherwise, what's the use of you marrying the queen and ignoring it?
Now that you've done it, do your duty.
It is indeed not easy for an eight-year-old girl to be able to say such things. As a result, the emperor treated the empress well and improved relations with the Turks.
Mrs. Dou's father was Dou Wei, the Shenwu Gong at that time.
And the wife of Shenwu Gong is the sister of the Northern Zhou Emperor.
When Yang Jian usurped Zhou, when Mrs. Dou learned about it, she was extremely angry, "I can't be a man, and I eradicate delusion for my uncle." ”
Only frightened Dou Wei and his wife, covered her mouth, and didn't dare to let her speak again. Later, Mrs. Dou married Li Yuan, fulfilling her responsibilities as a good wife and mother. Li Yuan's male and female appearance, as he grows older, he has some grandmothers, so he will always be humiliated and ridiculed by Yang Guang in public.
Li Yuan was giggling on the surface, but after returning home, he couldn't help crying.
It was also Mrs. Dou's encouragement and comfort on the side, which made Li Yuan cheer up again and deal with Yang Guang.
However, good people always seem to be rewarded with good deeds. Mrs. Dou left early, with four sons and one daughter under her knees, and in the end a scene of cannibalism was staged...... This is a respectable woman, just gone early!
If Mrs. Dou is alive, can Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change still succeed? Unknown.
Mrs. Dou smiled kindly and looked at Yanqing as if she were her own child. Hearing Yanqing call herself a nephew, she also seemed to be even happier.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite.
The old body has long heard that the goose boy is a talent, but he is a strange boy today. Li Guogong has also mentioned your name in front of me many times, but I hate not to see you.
Only now did I know that the rumors were indeed true. The demeanor of the son is more than the rumors. ”
Yan Qing was so delicate that when Li Yunxiu saw him, he said that he was too bookish and lacked some heroic spirit. Yihuang and Li Yunxiu have been separated for three or four years. Zheng Yanqing's appearance, although it has not changed much, has experienced a tragic battle in Goguryeo, and there is a trace of murderous aura on his body. It is also this spirit of conquest that makes Yan Qing look like he has added a lot of masculinity.
After listening to Mrs. Dou's praise, it was rare to celebrate, and her face was red.
"Okay, you're welcome...... My sister has come from afar to discuss something with you. ”
Pei Shuying spoke, letting the two sides sit down.
Since Zheng Shi'an is not in good health, when Zheng Yanqing is not there, Pei Shuying will come out and greet him. However, with an identity like Mrs. Dou, even if Zheng Shi'an is in good health, he cannot sit at the same table with him. The disparity in identity and fame is really too big.
In terms of seniority, Pei Shuying wants to call Mrs. Dou's sister.
After Mrs. Dou sat down, she pointed to the two teenagers beside her, "Erlang, Shihu'er, I haven't seen the goose boy yet." ”
The heroic young man rushed to stand up, "Shimin, I've seen my brother." ”
The sick young man got up with a slight cough, and also stepped forward to salute quite politely: "My name is Li Xuanba, and I have seen my brother." ”
Shimin?
When Zheng Yanqing walked into the middle hall and saw the first glance of the heroic young man, he vaguely guessed the identity of the other party. But when he heard the other party report to his home, he still set off a wave in his heart. He is Li Shimin, this young man...... Is it Taizong, is it the famous Li Shimin, who created the rule of Zhenguan?
Although before this, Yan Qing had repeatedly considered various scenes of meeting Li Shimin in his mind. But when he really met Li Shimin, the throbbing in his heart was indescribable. He is Li Shimin, he is Tang Taizong, and he is the backer I will rely on in the future...... Yanqing tried to keep himself calm, but his eyes burned and his voice trembled slightly.
"I have heard the name of Erlang for a long time, and now I see it, and I am fortunate to have three lives."
However, the sick boy ...... Li Xuanba! Could it be that he is the first hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the prototype of Li Yuanba is not successful?
Historically, Li Xuanba died very early, about 14 years old.
Yan Qing didn't know how Li Yuanba's image came about. But presumably, it is not groundless. It's just that Zheng Yanqing can't connect Li Xuanba in front of him with the No. 1 master of the Sui and Tang Dynasties who shook the eighteenth anti-king and made all the heroes flee in embarrassment. This Li Xuanba, is it really the legendary Li Yuanba? Is he really as powerful as in the novel review?
"Xuanba, seems to be sick?"
Yan Qing's medical skills are not very good, but after all, he has been with Sun Simiao for almost two years.
This ability to look and hear is not to say that it is perfect, but it is also a little hot. Li Xuanba's face was white and blue, and his eyes were slightly blank. Especially when he coughed, Yan Qing could hear that the cough was mixed, as if there was a disease in the lungs, which was quite similar to Guanyin's illness and the eldest grandson Wujian at that time.
Mrs. Dou's face was overjoyed, "Yanqing, do you see it?" ”
"Oh, I've learned a little from the Holy Boy Mr. Sun Simiao, but I'm not very smart...... Madam, you are here this time, it is ......"
Zheng Yanqing is so smart, how can he not see the clue when he sees Li Xuanba's situation.
Mrs. Dou took Li Xuanba's hand, asked him to sit beside her, and gently hugged him. Li Xuanba is like a docile kitten, snuggled in Mrs. Dou's arms. Those slender eyes, but staring at Yan Qing, seemed to be curious, and seemed to be observing from the side.
Not only Li Xuanba, but Li Shimin is also observing.
He had heard his father mention Yanqing, and he had also heard his sister talk about Yanqing.
Father said: Banyuanjun is brilliant, thoughtful, and extraordinary, and he is a great sage in the world.
Sister said: The goose boy is indeed talented, but he is a little feminine, slightly feminine, and not manly enough.
Since then, Li Shimin has remembered Zheng Yanqing.
He began to collect all the information about Yanqing, and tried to copy the Yong Goose Body (Yan Body) created by Yanqing. Although Li Shimin was born in a high-ranking family, he is a person who is good at learning. He likes to ponder people and is good at learning from others' strengths. At the beginning, he was not convinced by Yan Qing, feeling that Yan Qing could only dance and make ink, and he couldn't be a great sage. Even at one time, he thought that Yanqing had a false name.
However, when Zheng Yanqing's "Three Kingdoms" came out, Li Shimin was impressed.
The "Three Kingdoms" that Yan Qing couldn't publish, Li Shimin can be said to have read it repeatedly. The more he watched, the more he celebrated Yan Qing, and he felt unfathomable.
Until Yanqing's expedition to Pyongyang and Zheng Xing's framing of Yanqing's surrender to the enemy, Li Shimin's first reaction was: If Zheng Yanqing surrenders to the enemy, Goguryeo will be like a tiger with wings...... Later, when he heard that Zheng Yanqing was framed, he immediately felt relaxed, and said to Li Yunxiu with a smile: Goguryeo people, you are going to be unlucky!
In fact, the Goguryeo people do seem to be unlucky......
When I see it today, the goose boy is really a talent.
But why is he a little excited? Seems to be a little close to me?
Although Li Shimin is the son of Li Yuan, he is the second son after all, and in terms of future, he is categorically inferior to his eldest brother. Zheng Yanqing was born in Zheng Valve, even if it is a side branch, it may not be lower than him; In terms of fame, Zheng Yanqing has a faint name as a grandmaster, enjoys a high reputation in the literary world, and has made great achievements in Goguryeo, which is not comparable to Li Shimin. But why was he so excited to see me?
In this heart, I suddenly felt a little proud, but more than that, it was still kind.
Yan Qing didn't know that the kindness he unintentionally released was accurately captured by Li Shimin and remembered in his heart.
At this time, his attention was attracted by Mrs. Dou.
Mrs. Dou said: "Don't hide it from the son, Xuanba's body bones are indeed not good."
It's also strange to say that he was born a little weak, but he was born with divine power. Li Guogong and I didn't care at first, thinking that he had so much strength, how could his health be bad? The older Xuan Ba gets, the more strength he has, but the worse his body is...... After the winter of last year, his condition became more and more serious.
I found Mr. Chao Yuanfang, but Mr. Chao said that Xuanba was born with a disease. If you had been treated at birth, it would have been useful, but now you ...... Mr. Chao can only stabilize his condition, but he cannot cure it. However, he gave me an idea, saying that in the early years, the daughter of Changsun Sheng, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the eldest grandson Wujian also had this disease, and later almost lost his surname because of this.
But I heard that her condition has improved now, thanks to you escorting her to Minshu to find Mr. Sun Simiao Sun for treatment.
I rushed to Luoyang immediately, but I didn't want Mrs. Gao to take Wuji with her, so I went to Minshu in the autumn of last year. It's huge, and I don't know how to find them...... Later, it was my brother who came up with the idea, saying that since the son was able to take the eldest grandson to Shu for medical treatment, he must know Mr. Sun's whereabouts, and he must be good friends with Mr. Sun. That's when I took Xuanba and took the liberty to come. ”
When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he suddenly realized.
He got up, walked to Li Xuanba's side, and probed his finger pulse.
But as soon as his hand touched Li Xuanba's wrist, he saw Li Xuanba suddenly turn his hand, and his big hand, which was green and knotted, turned into tiger claws, and grabbed Zheng Yanqing's palm fiercely. The speed was as fast as lightning. Zheng Yanqing hurriedly withdrew his hand and flipped his palm, trying to dissolve Li Xuanba's tiger claws. But Li Xuanba turned his claws into palms, and Peng's and Yan Qing touched hard.
Obediently, this guy's hands are almost the same as pieces of iron.
A huge force shook Yanqing's arm numb, and the phalanges of his palms were broken.
"Xuanba, don't be rude."
Mrs. Dou exclaimed, and Li Xuanba stopped.
"Childe, you ......"
"Xuanba has a lot of strength, and he really deserves the name of the lion and tiger."
Yan Qing's face showed that nothing had happened, and his hands were behind his back, but he shook again and again.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, how could he not know how amazing his brother's strength was. In the early years, Li Yuan saw that Li Xuanba's divine power was amazing, so he invited a famous teacher for guidance. That martial arts are so brilliant, don't say that peers are adults, and they are not his opponents.
He also knew why Li Xuanba made a move.
Guy is a teenager......
In the whole day, all I heard was Yanqing's name, how could Li Xuanba be convinced?
However, Zheng Yanqing can take Li Xuanba's blow, and it seems that this skill is not bad. Think about it, if it weren't for this kind of ability, how could he be safe and sound, and he would be able to kill hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people? This person can be literate and martial, and as his father said, he is a great sage in the world.
"Ahem, ahem."
After Li Xuanba made a move, he coughed for a while, and then an innocent smile appeared on his pale face, "You can take my move, you are a capable person." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and asked Zheng Yanqing to call for him.
Yan Qing couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, shook his head slightly, and stretched out his hand to diagnose Li Xuanba.
Mrs. Dou showed a nervous look on her face and looked at Yan Qing expectantly. Li Xuanba's pulse is similar to that of the eldest grandson Wujian at the beginning, but it is far less serious than that of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Madam, has the lion tiger ever refined qi?"
Mrs. Dou was stunned, and she didn't quite understand what Yan Qing said.
Li Shimin said on the side: "Shihu'er worshipped Wugong Mountain Ziyang Zhenren as a teacher when he was young. That Ziyang Zhenren had taught him a set of exercises, and he had been practicing diligently for several years. But I don't know, is this considered the 'refining of qi' as Gongzi said? Nothing else, it seems. ”
"No wonder!"
Zheng Yanqing said: "If it weren't for this set of exercises, I'm afraid that my illness would have worsened long ago." He lacks lung qi, and he practices the kind of kung fu that is fierce to the yang...... I think the weapons used by the lion and tiger are also heavy weapons. ”
When Li Xuanba heard this, he showed curiosity.
"How do you know?"
Li Shimin said: "The lion and tiger are born with infinite strength, and ordinary weapons are not used at all.
Later, Ziyang Zhenren taught him to practice hammering, and his father also specially built a pair of sledgehammers for him, weighing more than 300 catties, which should be a heavy weapon. ”
!
Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but scold in his heart: If this is not a heavy weapon, then what else is it, a heavy weapon?
This Li Xuanba's age, it seems that he is only eleven or twelve years old, and he can make a sledgehammer of more than 300 catties? Sure enough, it's a monster...... "How old is Xuanba this year?" ”
"Oh, a year younger than me, thirteen."
Mrs. Dou really didn't know much about these things, so she asked Li Shimin to explain on her behalf. And Li Xuanba was quietly snuggled in Mrs. Dou's arms, looking very quiet, like a good baby. This good baby, I'm afraid that he will kill people like hemp, and he is invincible in the world.
However, if I can save him, won't I have another backer in the future?
Thinking of this, Yan Qing had already made up his mind.
"Madam, Xuanba's condition is very serious, but it is much better than the condition of Guanyin's maid at the beginning. The key is that the set of exercises he practiced should be the Taoist health guidance technique. When I left Shuzhong, Mr. Sun gave me some pills and pills.
Among them is the elixir for qi diseases.
If Mrs. can trust me, you can stay temporarily, and after Shihu'er has taken the pill, I will use the pill to recuperate, and I will be cured. ”
When Mrs. Dou heard this, she was overjoyed.
"Is Childe serious?"
"If it doesn't get better, I'll take him to Shuzhong immediately, I don't know what Madame, what do you think?"
