Chapter 317: The Prince's New Moves
In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a day destined for the whole country to rejoice, Li Shimin lit the mountain-like fireworks piled up on the roof of the building in heaven and earth, and the entire Chang'an City was instantly shrouded in the joy of the festival.
The two guys who were too young could not blow the cold wind on the street, so they could only be accompanied by their mother, and stayed at home obediently.
A five-wheeled vehicle with the roof and fence removed was like an open-top trot along the flow of people, and after a while it entered the city, along the road to see the snacks that Yangtianyang wanted, Yanglin would not hesitate to throw a string of copper coins out, and call the boss to have a double portion, the father and son are very fair, the same snack, one person can only have one, and they are not allowed to take each other's after eating.
Unlike most of the nobles who like wine banquets, since the opening of the Heavenly and Human Entertainment City, Yanglin has rarely come here, so long that he almost forgot that this is his own industry, Wanmin Square, dancing a fire dragon dance team full of incense attracted the attention of Yang Tianyang, excited with the drum beat of the dragon dance clapping, Yanglin generously sprinkled a few gold coins in the gong of the dragon dance team, this is worth several rewards, the wrestler of the dancing dragon saw the golden light, knew that it was the nobleman who came, and danced harder.
In this way, the open-top five-wheeled vehicle slowly wandered in the crowd, after a while, there was a lion dance gong and drum sounded, a double jacked lion in the field of churning, the rise of the dance will also turn over the heels, the sunny day is happy, the yang forest once again sprinkled money, this is the latest fashionable way of play for the nobles of Chang'an City, the nobles are happy, and the people who sell their arts are also happy.
The time of happiness is always short, Yanglin played in the crowd for less than half an hour, and someone found him, it was no one else, it was the general manager of the night market in heaven and earth, Gu Qingqing, the leader of the leather and meat business in Chang'an City, not for anything else, she encountered a difficult business, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she came to Yanglin for advice.
"You mean, the prince wants your girl to go to Zhaoling to serve him?" Yang Lin asked a little depressedly.
"Yes, Master Horse, although this business is full of money, several managers feel that they can't do it after discussing it, and they don't dare to refuse the prince in person, so I will ask you for instructions while you are here." Gu Qingqing was a little embarrassed. There is no similar business in Chang'an City that she doesn't dare to do, prosperous, Datang is prosperous now, and her business is naturally high, but there is only one person's business that he doesn't dare to take indiscriminately, this person is the prince, the future monarch, a guy who plays with women and breaks his legs, as soon as he heard that his subordinates came to report this matter, Gu Qingqing felt that there was a big problem here.
Sure enough, Yang Lin thought for a moment, shook his head at her, and told her that she didn't have to send someone over, the prince's side, he would go and see it in person, no matter what the reason, Li Chengqian should not be crazy enough to prostitute in front of the mausoleum of Empress Changsun.
was in no mood to be troubled by such a thing, and after Yang Lin cheered up and played with his son for half an hour, he went home with Yang Tianyang's reluctance.
The location of Zhaoling is next to the Hibiscus Garden, and Yang Lin asked the coachman and the escort to send the sleeping Yang Tianyang back to his home, and walked alone in the direction of Zhaoling, such a meeting must not be a secret, and hundreds of laborers and officials supervising the work on the construction site have to rush to work day and night.
Tongtian Futu Pagoda has entered the main structure pouring, Li Chengqian's small camp tent looks a little out of place under the huge Futu Pagoda skeleton, Yanglin, the official superintendent, in addition to contributing drawings, has hardly officially come to the construction site to supervise even an hour of work, but Li Chengqian, who has been living here for almost a month, is more like the superintendent of this mausoleum.
"The Heavenly Horse is here."
After the report of the personal eunuch, Li Chengqian jumped up from the mattress in the open canopy, and rushed towards the door with a very uncalm face, but only when he walked near the door curtain, he remembered that he was the identity of the prince, how could he welcome him to the door for a concubine, so he hurriedly returned to his desk, and picked up a book in a fake way.
Yang Lin came very quickly, as the official supervisor of this mausoleum, he wanted to enter and exit, no one dared to stop him, looking at Li Chengqian holding a book and watching the Eight Classics, Yang Lin almost couldn't help laughing, didn't talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the point: "If you want to see me, just say it, my family lives next door, why bother to go to heaven and earth, if you let your father know about this, your crown prince will really be gone." ”
"Prince, like a prisoner, I'd rather not do it." Seeing that Yang Lin was not polite to him, Li Chengqian threw the book on the table even more unceremoniously.
"The prince who is a prisoner is also a prince! You don't do what many people want to do too! Don't forget, this is your father's punishment for you, you can't even survive this, you still want to be on the throne in the future? Think of Li Tai, who was demoted to a concubine! You're 10,000 times luckier than him. Yang Lin's eyes swept over the facilities in the tent, it was indeed simpler, Li Chengqian, who was accustomed to a luxurious life style of fine clothes and jade food, could stay in such a shack for a month, and it was not bad that he was not crazy.
"I'm different from him, I'm at most a bad ruler, he rebelled, but if you say that he is not alive well, then it may not be, the news just came, he didn't know that he pulled out more than 100,000 Hu people in that place in the desert, intercepted and killed Long Wei who escorted him to Xizhou, and didn't make any stop in Xizhou, so he hurriedly went to the extreme west, and now I am afraid that he has already walked out of the border of the Tang Dynasty and went outside to claim the king and hegemony." Hearing Yanglin say Li Tai, Li Chengqian's mood was much better, but his words made Yanglin stunned, this family is really a restless master, they have all been relegated to Xizhou, and they can still resurrect in such a short period of time.
"It seems that this small tent has not been able to completely isolate you from the outside world, so you still complain about a bird, and wait for Your Majesty's anger to disappear before dealing with you, isn't it?" Due to his indifference to the imperial court, Yanglin did not widely spread the outpost to collect the news, Li Tai was robbed by his diners half a month ago, he still did not get the news, but Li Chengqian, who was trapped here, was clear about this matter, which made him a little unhappy, it seems that he has to arrange a few people in the palace, at least some of the bigger news he should know.
"I actually really want to find a woman for recreation, but I just have no guts, how long do you think my father will imprison me?" Li Chengqian said a little depressed, as an adult man who has read countless women, he has not touched a woman for a month, which is something that makes him very unbearable.
"Keep filial piety for three years, until the expiration of the term."
Yang Lin coldly replied to him with eight words that he didn't even believe in himself, and it can be seen from Li Chengqian's current situation that Li Shimin nominally sent him to guard the mausoleum, but secretly he still wanted to completely control him, at least until he reached a new consensus with his eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian could not restore his freedom.
At the same time, like many people in the court, Yang Lin didn't know that Li Zhi had walked into Li Shimin's sight, because His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who only knew how to read and write all day, had not yet made an inch of merit in Yu Guo, and had never studied politics in three provinces and eight ministries, and according to convention, he was excluded.
"Three years?" Li Chengqian's face was bitter, this was a long time that he couldn't accept.
"Perhaps, after the eldest grandson really compromises with his father! You should know that Your Majesty doesn't want to embarrass you, but the court is more important in his eyes, and it must be ironclad. "Yanglin doesn't have the habit of blowing cold wind in the shack, and after understanding Li Chengqian's appeal, he doesn't really want to stay here, maybe after the mausoleum is built, Li Chengqian's living conditions can be improved!
After Yanglin left, Li Chengqian immediately found his personal eunuch, and after a while, a short letter was passed out in the eunuch's hand.
"Hehe, the prince of the Heavenly Conferral Secret Society, I believe that after my father gets this news, he will definitely not eat well and sleep unsteadily!" Li Chengqian smiled slyly, and snapped his fingers outside the tent, and a young man dressed as a guard entered his tent in response.
After a while, there was a panting and moaning sound in the tent, and Yang Lin, who had not gone far, jumped out of a few zhang distance, and Yang Lin had a bad feeling from the beginning of entering the tent, it turned out that the root was here, Li Chengqian was still like in history, and Yang Lin, who was afraid of contracting some epidemic in the future, decided to keep at least ten zhang away from him in the future.
Walking quietly on his garden path, Yang Lin thought about a lot of questions, the news of his meeting with Li Chengqian was really known by Li Shimin, how would he react? What does Li Chengqian want to achieve by pulling himself into the water like this? The throne, is it really that important?
Unknowingly, he came to the front of the little white building, and the guards hiding in the secret had already turned on the strong light for him to disperse poisonous insects, and only in the underground base did Yang Lin not worry about any intrigues, because there was his absolute power here.
"Master Horse, the 127th test of the jet propulsion device failed, and the nozzle we made cannot effectively control the amount of fuel, nor can it reduce and decelerate, and it does not meet your requirements, and it is a waste product."
"It doesn't matter, failure is success for his mother, if you want to find success, you have to find his mother first, you continue to improve the device, prepare for the next experiment, we have human and financial resources, don't be afraid of failure." Yang Lin nodded at Wang Jin, who came to greet him, and walked to the aircraft parts workshop in the base, where hundreds of parts are being processed according to Yang Lin's requirements, and the first test flight of the double-wing propeller aircraft may not be far away.
