Chapter Sixty-Seven: Distant Thoughts
Late at night, in the Prince's Mansion, the candlelight in Li Chengqian's study was still there.
The crown prince Li Chengqian, holding a scripture book in his hand, was absent-minded. Look out the door from time to time, it seems to be waiting for someone!
The night watchman has knocked three times. If there are two more times, it will be early.
During Li Shimin's absence, Li Chengqian went to court on time every day. In the council hall, I watched the arrival of hundreds of officials almost every day. It has been well received by hundreds of officials. Everything is working normally, and it seems that Li Shimin's departure has no effect.
"Who broke into the Prince's Mansion?" The guards shouted! I saw a black shadow floating in the courtyard.
"Those who make an appointment, come to the appointment." A low and cold voice came from the mouth of this masked man! Li Chengqian, who was in the study, came out, and Zi Ling followed closely.
"Stand down. Hmph, come in. "The reason why Li Chengqian is so bold is because in the study, he has long been ambushed in his own mansion and is also his own retainer.
On the day that Li Shimin established the crown prince, he assigned twelve retainers to the prince.
In ancient times, the retainers and the master were the same fate, and that was to be bloodlined. If there is a feud between the scholars, it is really difficult to kill the retainers and want the life of the master, unless abnormal means are used!
Except for the prince's retainers who are appointed by His Majesty, other princes, if you can really move the guards to give you your life, or the worship can work for you, it is also your ability!
The offering is different, it can generally be used as an offering, and the ability must be strong, but the worship is not as loyal as the retainers. Li Chengqian has an enshrinement, who was a ranger in the rivers and lakes and devoted himself to the prince's mansion. I didn't even see that he was a master! Now, he is willing to be a retainer of the crown prince. This person's surname is Xiao and his name is Wan.
Entered the room. The person who came took off his scarf, a man in his thirties, with a white face and no beard.
"I am a dead soldier of the Dou family. I came here to convey a letter from Childe. The man said hatefully, and Li Chengqian and Zi Ling's faces changed drastically. Zi Ling quickly blocked Li Chengqian behind him.
The curtain behind the prince shook slightly!
"Tsk! No need to panic, I'm not an assassin! On the contrary, I am here to die today! What is your attitude after reading the letter. I'm going to die...... Death is the best destination for a dead man! With that, he took out an envelope from the compartment of his clothes. Put it on the reading case.
The dead soldier of the Dou family had death and disdain in his eyes, because he sensed the ambush behind the tent! A person who is not even afraid of death, what ambush is he afraid of?
Prince Li Chengqian picked up the envelope on the table, opened it with trembling hands, and looked at it with sweat on his face...... "No ......"
"Hehe, Childe has already guessed your first reaction! Childe also asked me to bring you a paragraph: You and I are cousins of Qin. Now, you are the crown prince and I am a traitor! You know my nature, how innocent am I? Helpless. Run, hide.
However, the emperor was like this, and Xuanwumen killed his brother and sister-in-law. can't block the mouth of the world. Dou Guogong is also his own uncle, so what?
In front of the throne and family affection. My brother dared to kill, and Father Qin dared to threaten. What is an uncle or a prince?
The one in the Tai Chi Palace, do you think he is willing to step down by himself? Asked the Yan family three times and twice who wanted to record their daily life? Think about it, how long will you have to wait for his old abdication? Decade? Twenty years? Thirty years?
After this Northern Expedition, the world will return to the heart, and you, the prince, are just decorations! You are not the first to be deposed by the princes of the past dynasties, and it is estimated that you will not be the last! Which of your younger brothers is worse than you? What's more, now they are all studying from a capable person with a strange background? ”
"Shut up! Shut up! "Li Chengqian is now trembling all over, holding the table with both hands, and yelling at the dead soldiers of the Dou family!" You're a dead man, how do you get the message across? ”
"Hehe, I'm not the dead soldier of the Dou family! If you agree, I will die silently, if you don't agree, I will fight to the death, create some movement, or do it., even the one behind you, can't let me sound the arrow, right? The dead soldier of the Dou family flipped his hand, and there was indeed a whistle arrow in the palm of his hand. It's the kind that throws it out and makes a sound. It is a commonly used means of transmitting signals in the rivers and lakes!
How to choose? The candlelight of the Prince's Mansion until the light of day......
The next day, the prince who has been diligent in government did not have an early dynasty, and it was rumored that he was suddenly infected with a cold, and even the imperial doctor said that he was sweating too much and his complexion was very bad. Empress Eldest Sun went over to visit for the first time, Li Chengqian was indeed covered in sweat and pale!
Even Doctor Sun was invited! Through the pulse check, Dr. Sun Shenshen came to the conclusion that the sweating and pulse disorder should be caused by restlessness and need to be recuperated.
It's just that when Sun Simiao came to take the prince's pulse, the prince's cold sweat was even more!
The royal city of Goguryeo, the mountain fortress of Marudu. King Gao Jianwu sat on the guest Dou Qingshan, in a pavilion in a courtyard, holding a scripture book in his hand, but he couldn't read it at all!
"Dou Gongzi!" A crisp cry woke Dou Qingshan from his contemplation! Goguryeo princess Gao Wenxiu, come over quickly! Like a cheerful butterfly!
Since Datang has always used a Huairou policy towards Goryeo, there is naturally a cultural input! In addition, Goguryeo also has a lot of Han Chinese! The Book of Poetry and the Analects are not only popular in the Tang Dynasty, but also among some Goguryeo scholars! The manuscript of Sun Tzu's Art of War has been studied by the Goguryeo military attachés and generals!
Gao Wenxiu, a Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu. Known as the eldest daughter of King Rongliu, she has been proficient in Chinese since she was a child, and the former Sui attacked Goguryeo three times, but did not succeed, but lost millions of troops, and the skeleton of hundreds of thousands of former Sui soldiers in front of the Great King City, the bone tower erected can prove that the battle was fierce!
In the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the eighteenth road against the king, the twenty-fourth dew of smoke and dust, and the war in the entire Central Plains, there were also some well-educated people traveling around! In order to escape the war, he settled in Goguryeo!
Gao Wenxiu's two Mr. Xixi are from the Central Plains! Therefore, in the Central Plains Chinese, Gao Wenxiu spoke very fluently!
Dou Qingshan's literary talents, martial arts, and versatility in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all made Gao Wenxiu fall in love.
One can deliberately show off to break into the high-level circle, and the other is the **** of the Central Plains, and the handsome man yearns for release! That's the relationship between oil and fire!
The Central Plains, the land is vast and rich, and it has always been a ****, and since ancient times, there is a saying that those who have won the Central Plains have won the world!
In many places, intentionally or unintentionally, they imitate the practices of the Central Plains! The etiquette of the Central Plains, the supplies of the Central Plains, and the life of the Central Plains! Gao Jianwu, once went to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin ascended the throne, and the Quartet came to congratulate! Among them are Gao Jianwu and the officials he leads!
I brought back a lot of gifts and gained a lot of knowledge! After going back, there are naturally some imitations!
Therefore, the life in the aristocratic officials is more similar to that of the Tang Dynasty! Even some porcelain is from the Tang Dynasty!
The interaction between the two will inevitably attract Gao Jianwu's attention! Dou Qingshan, that is even Li Shimin praises and likes a person, which can naturally satisfy Gao Jianwu!
Therefore, at the risk of being blamed by Li Shimin, he took in Dou Qingshan! not only did not prevent his daughter from dating him, but also deliberately let his daughter Gao Wenxiu get close to Dou Qingshan, which did not mean to win over.
Gao Jianwu is also thirsty for talent. It can be deliberately seen from here that Gao Jianwu is also a qualified ruler, as for Datang's questioning? Too many ways to reply! There are so many Dou clans in the world!
"Oh, Your Highness the Princess." Dou Qingshan immediately got up and clasped his fists and saluted!
"No need to be polite, what are you thinking. So into the gods? Gao Wenxiu naturally sat beside Dou Qingshan.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm wondering, that retainer of mine, if things are going well!" Dou Qingshan, he is indeed worried!
"Gongzi Dou and the prince are cousins, so they should know each other better! What else are you worried about? "It seems that Gao Wenxiu also knows a lot!
"I'm not worried about the prince, I'm worried about another thing, I'm worried about another person......"
"Oh, who makes Dou Gongzi so worried and so worried?" Gao Wenxiu unconsciously grabbed the corner of Dou Qingshan's clothes with his hand. "He's mysterious" (To be continued.) )
