Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dou Family Who Gambling
Li Shimin's eyes stopped on that thing, but he didn't get up. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea elegantly. "Shame! Took your wages for nothing, and haven't taught a single lesson yet. So, the old man decided to give a lesson tomorrow.
Well, if the old man remembers correctly, there is another debate tournament today, I wonder if the date has been changed due to bad weather? ”
"Of course not, everything at the school is orderly and planned! Of course, if there is also the insertion of individual lessons, at least not today! The debate is in the afternoon. Two gentlemen can take a look. The debate topic is still a debate on whether it is correct to open the book and whether it is beneficial. ”
Headache, a lot of things haven't been done, there's no time to talk to them, if you show your identity, brother doesn't dare to do anything, now I'm afraid of a ball!
"The two of you go to the room to rest first, there are too many things here, so I won't accompany the two of you first, cough, there are always not enough people!" Liu Ao smiled and wanted to chase away the guests. The housekeeper Zhou Yan put all the postures of the invitation.
"It's okay, you're busy, don't pay attention to us. I'll take a casual look, just walk around. Li Shimin got up happily and walked out with the housekeeper Zhou Yan......
Being interrupted like this, Liu Ao couldn't calm down for a while, looking at the glass on the table made from all the sample quartz on the chair, and he didn't worry less about this thing.
Today's bronze mirrors are very valuable, and they are very unclear, the first thing Liu Ao wants to do is to make some small mirrors for his sisters. Girls, this is a must. Tin foil, mercury, has been bought by people. In fact, what Liu Ao wants to do most is to get a telescope and a magnifying glass out first, which is a delicate job.
Anyway, let's put it back in the furnace and make it into a glass piece. Pick it up, get up, and walk towards the blacksmith.
Li Shimin and Li Shiji left the study and went directly to the classroom, and the strange thing is that they have been inseparable from Li Shimin without a trace.
What's even more strange is that Zhang Zishan did not go to the school with Chu Chu today, but accompanied by Lan Lan, and, not long after Li Shimin and Li Shiji entered the school, Zhang Zishan appeared in the school wearing a coat and a hat.
Then he found a place to put the wine well, grabbed a jar and walked to the corridor of Liu Ao's study, where there was a reclining chair, took off his clothes, took off his hat, sat on it and began to drink.
Seeing Zimu, he shook his head. This action is no stranger to me, and every time I come, it is this virtue. Of course, Zhang Zishan's anomaly Liu Ao didn't know.
I don't know what's going on, Li Shimin only glanced at the teaching window where Xiao Nan was lecturing, and then walked to the classroom where Xiao Wu was lecturing. Look inside from the window.
The houses of the Tang Dynasty all had one door, and in order to increase the light in the room, the front and rear windows were opened. Winter and summer are like this, I don't know if the ten-year cold window in ancient times is related to this, summer is fine, winter, if someone sits under the window, it can be bearable.
On the official road ten miles west of Luoyang City, Wuying was driving the carriage while paying attention to it.
Since the last assassin incident, Niu Jinda has been shocked. Although he is not wearing his whole body now, he has always had a horizontal knife at his waist, and on the side of the war horse hangs his own handy weapon, the Sun and Moon Chaotian Knife, weighing eighty catties.
The road seemed to be peaceful, and Niu Jinda knew that there would be a big bloody battle along the way. It's infuriating, but after leaving the city, I realized that it was not Li Shimin and Li Shiji who were sitting in the car.
Although Li Shiji has also experienced a lot of large and small battles, and can also play with knives and guns, most of the time, he plays the role of a military advisor. is considered a literati, with the style of a military general, I don't know why, he was named a military general. Therefore, it is logical to take a carriage with Li Shimin.
Knowing that Li Shimin was not in the carriage and this plan to lure the snake out, Niu Jinda was in a state of war. No worries.
There are a lot more pedestrians on the official road today than usual. Because it had just rained, the road was muddy and I couldn't walk fast. Horse-drawn carriages also don't seem to be much faster than pedestrians. From time to time, a few fast horses flashed by, bringing up a slip of mud and a little bit of mud......
Li Shimin in the academy stayed on Chen Shen's face for a long time, seemed to think a little, and then walked away, "How do I think I have seen this old man somewhere?" I've definitely seen it, it's familiar. Li Shimin stood in the courtyard of the school, stroking his beard and thinking hard. I know, he seems to be a member of the Chen family in the Southern Dynasty, this person should be called Chen Shen, after the fall of the Southern Dynasty, he was the official position of the Taishou of the Sui Dynasty. Later, I don't know how to disappear, some say he died in the war, others say he went into seclusion.
I didn't expect to meet here today, it's a talent! Li Shimin whispered to Li Shiji, "What's the matter, why did this old man come here?" You can't be a gentleman who came to teach, right?
Back then, his father asked him to be the teacher of me and the crown prince, but he didn't agree. Later, the queen mother was also afraid that the Chen family would have different intentions, so the father did not force it. After all, he was the crown prince! ”
Li Shiji didn't know this, at that time, he had just joined Zhai Rang's army. At that time, Li Shimin was still a child.
But Li Shiji knew that he could be favored by the Emperor Li Yuan, and he still wanted him to be the emperor's teacher, from this point of view, this person was not simple, and he was once the crown prince.
In ancient times, the strict hierarchy was like this, no matter what happened to this emperor, even if you overthrew this emperor, the newly enthroned emperor, in addition to killing some forces that opposed him, most of them tried their best to pull the remnants of the imperial family. Whether it is appeased, Xu Yi is rich or noble, he is still a nobleman in terms of status!
In Chang'an's Dou Guo Mansion, an old man in a brocade robe had dull eyes and slumped on the chair, "It's over, it's completely over!" "There's a note in my hand.
"Dad, what's wrong with you" Dou Qingyu came with a handkerchief in one hand.
Seeing his child, the old man hurriedly said, "Yu'er, hurry up to Shandong, immediately, immediately!" Find a place to stay incognito, live well, and leave roots for my Dou family. ”
"What's going on, Daddy? Why run away? What else is there in this world that my Dou family can't do? Isn't there still the Emperor? Dou Qingyu, who is usually feminine, faced his father's helplessness, and suddenly his voice was stronger.
"Yes! The Emperor! Yes, I'll go to the Emperor, and I won't come out until the news is clear. Yu'er, you still have to go, send a letter to your brother in Shandong, ask him not to come back, and hide for the time being!
To tell you the truth, the matter in Luoyang is estimated to have been exposed, Cui Wenhai is missing, and His Majesty is already on the way back, this assassination mission is bound to fail, if the token of the dead soldier of our family falls into the hands of His Majesty, no one in my Dou family can be spared.
You have to go, and the rest of you don't bother for now, after all, you can't do it too obviously. Your Majesty to Chang'an, the day after tomorrow at the earliest, if you get the token, at least tomorrow or night, you still have some time, after you leave alone, let people pay close attention to the movements here. I'll arrange for Lao Jia to take care of you!
The best outcome is that the person who took my family's token from the Poseidon Sect can escape, so that my family can be safe, do you understand? ”
"Dad, are you crazy, assassinating Your Majesty? You ......"
"Yes, it's crazy, you still don't understand, now my Dou family is declining! His Majesty has been suppressing us, after all, we are the emperor's people, and if this continues, the decline of the family will be a matter of time! It's better to let the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, the prince is there, and my Dou family can start from scratch!
For the sake of the family, Dad did not miss any opportunity. Otherwise, in the future, there will be no opportunity for my Dou family to speak! It's a gamble, the bet is right, the family is on the rise, the bet is lost, and there is nothing! People who do big things, who doesn't gamble? His Majesty's Xuanwumen Incident back then, he reacted a little slower, and now His Majesty doesn't know who it is!
You reminded me that the Emperor and the Crown Prince will not turn a blind eye, although they were not informed of this incident, they dreamed of it, right? This wicked man is naturally we do!
Go ahead, tell the outside world that you were sent to Shandong for training. You can also take some of the dead people in the family, and I will go to Taiji Palace. As he spoke, he shoved the note in his mouth and swallowed it.
"Dad, even if that token falls into the hands of His Majesty, I don't know if it's a dead soldier in our family, right?"
"Others don't know, the Emperor must know, even if Your Majesty doesn't know, you can guess. There's a story here, and I don't have time to tell you, so hurry up, I can buy more time. Fast! ”
As he spoke, he walked quickly to the table, quickly wrote a piece of paper, rolled it up, and handed it to Dou Qingyu. "Send it to Shandong, see your brother's creation. Old Armor. ”
"Sir." A man in his fifties who looked like a butler came in.
"The young master taught you, Lao Jia, you and I are obviously the main servants, but we are actually brothers, you were my scholar when I was studying, I don't think it's been almost forty years, this time the lord I don't have to go to this hurdle, leave a root for my Dou family, rely on you!"
"Before the old slave dies, the young master must be alive, master, it's better to go together, as long as there is money, how can you not live now? We want people, money, money? Let's go, sir? ”
"Hehe, no, Lao Jia, this big gamble, until the last moment, I am not reconciled, master, besides, I can't go! I don't know how many eyes are looking at your lord and me outside! Go, please, old man."
The old man who called Lao Jia hid his feet, "Young master, let's go......"
The sun is finally out, and it has been raining for two days in a row, which is very uncomfortable! At this moment, Liu Ao held a mirror that had not yet been edged in his hand, and a self with a touch of fluff on his mouth appeared in the mirror.
What a face it's been a long time for! I can't remember how long I haven't seen my face properly, and it's a little strange for a while! Liu Yu and Liu Mi combed their hair into a standard merry boy brother's hairstyle, and Xiao Wu didn't know where to get a jade crown to put on himself.
Say that you are a lord, you have to look like a lord! Don't mess around like you used to! These words are definitely taught by Zuo Shi, a goblin, I remember that Xiao Wu has always admired himself like that, and he has learned from himself!
It's not much different from the young man played by the actors seen on TV in later generations! Also drunk, this person is himself? In the past, Liu Ao had always refused to look in the bronze mirror! My mobile phone has the function of a mirror, but it's just a little dark! I never wanted to look like myself!
"Xianggong! What are you taking? A yellow-bird voice came from the door of the study......
