In the palace, there was a cheerful scene, at this time Li Shimin's face was filled with incomparable pride, but Li Chengqian, who was also injured, was jealous, from the scene at that time, it can be said that Li Ke, the concubine, robbed him of his due scene, he was really unwilling, why could others. And I can't.
At this time, a chamberlain of the prince's palace wearing a pale yellow robe and a high mountain crown walked up to Li Shimin, "Meet King Qin!" ”
In addition to being cheerful, an uninvited guest suddenly came, Li Shimin was happy in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "No courtesy, I don't know what my father-in-law is doing when he comes to visit today." "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, Li Shimin also knows this truth.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to invite the King of Qin to the East Palace for a banquet, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Qi personally hunted a sika deer yesterday, so please be sure to go to the banquet." "Oh......?" Li Shimin was suspicious, so he asked again: "Who else did the prince invite to the banquet?" ”
"It is said that in addition to the crown prince and the king of Qi, the king of Huai'an was invited, and it seems that there is also the East Palace to wash the horse Wei Zheng, and there is no one else." The chamberlain replied.
Li Shimin thought for a moment and instructed the inner servant: "If you go and spread the word, this king will arrive, and he will definitely go to the banquet." ”
"No." Watching the waiter retreat, the eldest grandson Wuji took out an emerald green carved swallow jade ring slightly smaller than an egg in his sleeve, played with it in his hand, and sneered: "There is no good wine, there is no good banquet, Your Highness should be careful." ”
Li Shimin thought for a moment, frowned and said in a low voice: "Even if it is the Hongmen Banquet, I have to go, and it should never be me who bows my head first at this time." I can't let the crown prince and the king of Qi despise me. ”
"In that case, Your Highness, wait for me for a while, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes, and I'll compensate you for this 'Hongmen Banquet'." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't wait for Li Shimin to speak, he had already gone out. But on the side just now, although Li Ke is brilliant, it is nothing to the eldest grandson Wuji, because he has always hated Li Ke, because he hated the Sui Dynasty, and even Li Ke also held a grudge.
At this time, Li Ke saw the eldest grandson Wuji but was so frank, although the eldest grandson Wuji had a great prejudice against himself, but Li Ke didn't know it. It's the same from the previous life, although Li Ke wants to change history, but if he wants to change the relationship between him and his eldest grandson Wuji, it is impossible.
As the eldest grandson Wuji left quickly, Li Shimin pondered for a while, didn't care too much about instructing Li Tai, and left the small courtyard that was full of laughter and laughter not long ago with heavy steps.
The two left one after another, and there were many people scattered in the lobby, Li Ke also knew that as the eldest grandson Wuji just said, there was no good wine, and there was no good banquet, but the development of history, Li Ke did not mean to stop it, he remembered that this time Li Shimin was still alive, of course, it would not be long before Li Ke himself could not wait for the Xuanwumen incident to happen.
Li Ke is happy and worried, how well his preparation can be said to have been put into the Tiger Guard Army and the restaurant, of course, this is also Li Ke's proud work now.
Shui Er seemed to see Li Ke's worries, stood up, put two tender lotus-like jade hands on both sides of Li Tai's head and gently rubbed them, and said: "San Lang doesn't have to worry about King Qin, His Royal Highness is a heroic man who treats thousands of troops and horses as nothing, how can he be trapped by a small banquet."
Although there is discord between the crown prince and His Royal Highness, after all, there is still brotherhood, and His Royal Highness King Qin will definitely come back safely. Don't waste your mind on it. Shui'er's relief could not alleviate Li Ke's worries at all, everyone knew that Li Shimin, who had a high degree of merit, and the prince had long been incompatible, and what was about to happen would be a battle between the poor and the poor.
At this time, Li Chengqian, who came to Li Ke's eyes, just heard what Shui Er said, "Yes, third brother, don't worry about the sky, your father will definitely be fine, and I can congratulate my brother today." ”
"Brother, don't praise it, the younger brother may have been frightened by this horse just now, and the younger brother will go first." After speaking, he bowed to Li Chengqian.
"Third brother walk slowly."
Li Ke was deeply mired in contradictions. has the heart to say what will happen, but is afraid that the trajectory of history will be broken by his own little butterfly; If he ignores it, Li Ke, who is already in the middle of it, is afraid that Li Shimin will make a bad move. The tangled mind drained Li Ke's nerves, which were not tenacious.
And after Li Ke left, Li Chengqian snorted coldly, "I thought I got a horse and started pretending, phew"
And back in the room, Li Ke didn't have the heart to worry about the snow lion in the night. Shui'er really couldn't bear to see Li Ke sad alone, under Shui'er's urging and persuasion three or four times, Li Ke lay on the golden silk nan bed, even with the gentle shaking of Shui'er's fan, humming songs, this was the most effective hypnotic method in the past, but it was completely useless today.
As the sun progressed, the sky gradually darkened. The sun sets and the moon rises, and soon, the time is in the evening.
The night is deep, the prince's mansion in the east of the imperial city has already been lit up by all kinds of palace lights, go to the Ming Gate, pass through the Mingde Gate, pass through the Mingde Palace, in order to reach the Chongjiao Hall at this time, the Chongjiao Hall is brightly lit, and the palace lamps that light the beeswax are hung high.
Reflecting the main hall, in front of the main hall, a team of guards with bright armor continued to patrol and walk, not daring to slack off.
The mighty samurai are in stark contrast to the brightly dressed palace maids. They tiptoed to bring the dishes brought by the chamberlains from the kitchen into the hall quickly but in an orderly manner.
The inner temple is different from the outside of the temple, where people are drunk and singing and dancing. On the right seat in the center, the current crown prince Li Jiancheng leans on the body of the beautiful maid, and the lower left head sits in descending order according to the identity of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the eldest grandson Wuji.
On the right is Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Wei Zheng, the horse of the East Palace. Each person has a beautiful maid to serve and eat.
The banquet in the early Tang Dynasty was not a table where everyone sat around, but a table for each person arranged on both sides of the main seat, on which a variety of delicious dishes were placed, and the guests knelt behind the table.
Carefully served by a maid or a servant. If the palace banquet is basically not a small servant, but is taken over by the inner servant.
Since the guests are seated on both sides, there are usually singing and dancing performances in the open space in the middle.
At this moment, the dancers performing in the hall are the dancers who have been summoned from Taichang Temple.
I saw these charming dancing girls dancing in the hall like butterflies wearing flowers. Occasionally, he picked up a glass of wine on top of a few cases, and Qiong's head was high, and he drank it all, which naturally won a burst of applause. A piece of "life dance swallow fluttering, singing beads." "A luxurious sight. Although the wine and food are good, the singing and dancing are wonderful, and the delicate maids are beautiful, Li Shimin is still sitting like a needle and felt here, and he can't wait to get up and leave immediately.
Although there were not many people at the banquet, the content of the banquet was extremely interesting, Li Yuanji kept pulling Wei Zheng to talk about the wind and moon, and occasionally talked with Li Shimin for a few words, but it was extremely sarcastic.
Li Shimin pulled the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Shentong and the three of them raised their glasses frequently, but there was no shortage of wine in the ears of the red gold eagle beast.
Li Jiancheng, the most respected prince, didn't look like a master at all, holding a golden bottle, as if he had never seen singing and dancing in his life, he stared at the dancers in the audience, and occasionally greeted everyone with a few words.
More like the master is Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who keeps toasting to everyone. When Li Yuanji provoked, he reprimanded a few words by relying on his identity as an uncle.
A banquet took nearly two hours, and the restless Li Shimin finally stayed up until the banquet was about to end, but he didn't want to suddenly hear Li Jiancheng's harsh voice: "Second brother, do you know yesterday's 'Taibai Jingtian'?" ”
This number has been sealed, there is something to burn paper2014-9-1522:24:20Where to send?
This number has been sealed, there is something to burn paper2014-9-1522:24:44201?
22:26:45Lao Hei2014-9-1522:26:45Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji was shocked and thought: "This is coming." ”
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It's good to come, if you dare to show the knife, I will have a strong shield to deal with; I'm afraid that if you don't come, the invisible knife will be able to pierce the vital place. Since you have a clear knife and gun, I am really not afraid that I will not be able to deal with you. ”
Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Li Yuanji sat up straight, his eyes flashing and jokingly: "Didn't the Taishi Bureau draw a conclusion?" Taibai hangs high in the land of Qin, and the king of Qin will win the world in the future. Brother Prince, you are going to give way, it seems that I will have to find King Qin to eat in the future. The crown prince Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin like Li Yuanji, turned a deaf ear to Li Yuanji's words, and smiled silently.
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and asked rhetorically without giving way: "Taishi Ling Fu Yi of the Taishi Bureau seems to be the prince's person, right?" "The implication is already too obvious: your prince's people said that I want to rebel, didn't you arrange it?
The prince was stunned for a moment and said: "Second brother, what you said is unreasonable, Tai Shiling is not a subordinate of my East Palace, it was appointed by his father, how did he become my person?" Where did you put your father in the wake of this?
Without waiting for Li Shimin to explain, Li Yuanji jumped out again. ridiculed: "'Taibai Jingtian' is a warning from the sky, and it is not something that can be arranged by manpower, what is the matter with his Taishi Ling?" Could it be that the second brother has a weak heart? ”
Li Shimin glared at Li Yuanji, who was jumping up and down, bowed to Li Shentong, and said: "Uncle Wang testified, I just talked about the matter, and I didn't mean to despise my father at all. If anyone makes a blame for this matter in the future, I hope that Uncle Wang will return my innocence. ”
Li Shentong is Li Yuan's half-brother, who has followed Li Yuan's Taiyuan army since he started, and has won Li Yuan's trust, and after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and became emperor, Li Shentong was named the king of Huai'an.
Li Shentong, who has been in Chang'an for a long time, has long understood the contradictions between Li Shimin's brothers, and has also taken care of Li Shimin in many ways.
On the one hand, Li Shentong, who is also a leading general with Li Shimin, naturally has some sympathy, and on the other hand, Li Shentong, who is heroic and daring by nature, is really tired of the prince's dirty methods.
Therefore, favoring Li Shimin cannot be avoided. Although Li Shentong was tired of the prince and Li Yuanji's style, it was not good to talk too much in the East Palace, so he had to say to Li Shimin: "King Qin is too worried, how can there be a statement that he is an elder brother and frames his younger brother, don't worry." At the end, he added: "Everything has you, Uncle Wang, and me!" The tacit understanding between Li Shentong and King Qin annoyed the crown prince and the king of Qi a little, and the atmosphere of the banquet was completely cold for a while. Wei Zheng's status is much lower than that of the audience, and it is okay to make ideas for the prince behind his back, but he is just a companion at this banquet.
The eldest grandson Wuji relied on his sister to be the princess of Qin, and often walked around in front of Emperor Li Yuan, in order to ease the atmosphere of the banquet, he walked up to the prince and said: "I salute His Royal Highness the Prince, thank you for His Royal Highness the Prince's hospitality,"
"Hmm." Although the prince was angry in his heart, as the prince, even if he pretended, he had to pretend to be tolerant, snorted his nose, and drank the wine in one gulp.
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly thanked the prince, turned to King Qi again, picked up the red gold carved dragon holding pot on the table and poured a bottle for King Qi. Unexpectedly, the king of Qi did not give half of the face, and shouted to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Get out, this king doesn't need to look for you to flatter." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, not only spilled the wine bottle held high by the eldest grandson Wuji's hands, but also knocked over the holding pot standing on the table.
The wine flows out of the spout. What's even more annoying is that Li Yuanji still seems to be fine, picking up the pot and pouring a bottle for himself. It seems that the eldest grandson Wuji is not as precious as the pot of wine in front of him.
Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was trembling with anger, Li Shimin was also angry, stood up and pointed at Li Yuanji, and said, "You ......." "Sit in peace, people of the world." Li Shentong gestured to Li Shimin with his eyes while pulling, and there was a prince watching the excitement on the side.
Li Shimin calmed down under Li Shentong's persuasion, and lowered his head to think: whether Li Yuanji's anger was arranged by the prince in advance.
If something big happens, it will definitely be a loss for himself who is not loved by Li Yuan, and it is better to endure it now than to fall into the trap of the prince.
"Mowgli, my bottle is empty, you can help me pour it." Li Shimin couldn't watch the eldest grandson Wuji standing there embarrassed and helpless, and said something to relieve the siege. Zhang Suwuji was so angry that he picked up the pot on the desk and walked towards Li Shimin.
