Chapter Seventy-Three: Li Shimin's Murderous Intent
The days always go by day by day, whether it is boring or boring, even for people like Lao Dao, who like to walk and travel, it is really a very painful thing to be trapped in Chang'an.
Seeing Li Fu walk in, Lao Dao knew that something was wrong, and then only heard Li Fu say: "Lord Wang, the old slave came to report two things, one is that there is a successful glass firing in the manor, and the fired glass samples will be sent over in a while; The second thing is that the eldest grandson's mansion sent an invitation to invite the prince to the banquet."
"Well, why did the eldest grandson's family send invitations?"
"It's the engagement of Young Master Chong, the eldest grandson of the Changsun Mansion."
"The eldest grandson Chong is engaged, who is the woman?"
"The woman is the descendant of the Li family in Longxi, and it seems to be the sister of Xia Xiang Li Qiushui."
"Hmm~, that's it, then you go and call me in with the four spices and four fruits."
After Li Fu went out, Lao Dao lay on the recliner and asked without opening his eyes: "Wanrong, what do you think?" ”
"After the last experience of the Seven Great Families, all aspects have obviously weakened, they are trying to win over these new nobles in a friendly way, and the relationship between the heirs of these nobles and the prince is still quite good, I believe that they will definitely receive other invitations in the future."
"Oops, nice IQ, what a smart woman".
"The prince has won the prize"
After a short time, the four spices and four fruits came to the ancient and modern courtyards; Lao Dao smiled at the eighth girl and said, "I brought you here today mainly to say a few things to you."
"The first thing is that your respective sisters are going to be engaged, and the objects of engagement are roughly those boys who often come to the palace."
"The second thing is that you are not small anymore, I think you are all a little anxious; Li Ran said that he would prepare a grand marriage gathering for you and the maids of the right age in the house, so you don't have to worry, but if you have a favorite object, you can tell me that no matter who he is, the Taoist master will bring him back to you."
"Lord, we don't want to get married, we all like life in the palace", Cui Yingying said to everyone.
"Actually, I also know that you all have a crush on Li Xianzhi, but he already has four wives and concubines, are you still willing to follow him?"
"We are willing," said Li Qingqing this time.
"Well, if you don't do that, when it's time for the recruitment conference, you all go and have a look, if you like it, say it, if you don't like it, you will make Li Ran worry in the end", Lao Dao said with a headache, and then continued: "The third thing is that the glass has been manufactured, and you discuss who will sell it."
Li Shishi suddenly spoke: "Lord Wang, when will the little prince come back?" ”
"Uh, what's the matter, do you miss him or do you want to drive me away?"
"No, it's just that Shishi hasn't heard the prince's new poems for a long time."
"It's just a poem, and the title of Dao Ye's poetry saint is not in vain, but Li Ran is suffering now."
"Suffering"
Taihang Mountain, an unknown place, at this time, Li Ran was dodging around in a cave, as if he had encountered some danger.
I only heard Li Ran say while dodging: "Jiang Shang, Nima is really awesome, but the outermost small formation is so strong, I really don't know how strong the formation inside is."
"You deserve it, I taught you to wait until the out-of-body period to come back, but you are going to die now, how about it, you can't even break through the outermost formation."
"Ling'er, don't talk about it anymore, I thought it would be easier to get Ge Xinxin's jade pendant, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult, tell me what I should do now?"
"What can I do, I can't help you, the best choice now is to leave, and come back when it's out of body later."
"But can you tell me how to get out now?"
"Heh, you can figure it out yourself, I can't tell you, who told you not to listen to me in the first place."
"Good Ling'er, just tell me, can't I listen to you in this regard in the future?"
"Really"
"It has to be true"
"Seeing that you are so sincere, I will tell you, seven steps first, then three steps to the right, and three steps further."
"Ling'er, are you sure this is the way to quit", although Li Ran said so, he still acted according to Xiao Ling'er's words.
A strange thing happened, Li Ran really walked out of the cave and appeared outside the cave.
Li Ran was surprised: "This formation is really amazing, Ling'er, can I learn the formation?" ”
"Yes, but depending on your laziness, I'm afraid you don't have that patience."
"Well, all right, but what are we going to do next?"
"What else can you do, aren't you going to go back?"
"Go back, go back like this."
"Do you want to go in and try again?"
"Alright then, let's walk back and have some fun on the way."
……
In the ancient and modern courtyard, Li Fu stood in front of Lao Dao with seven or eight posts: "Lord Wang, these are all invitations to you, all invitations at the time of engagement."
"Then take it all, let me know when the time comes, okay, you all go down."
After watching everyone leave, Lao Dao sighed again: "Life is really boring! ”
……
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was discussing the matter of Tuyuhun with several ministers, only to hear Li Shimin say: "Tuyuhun was defeated, Murong Fu agreed to sue for peace, and asked for his son King Zun's marriage, what do you think?" ”
Chen Yanjin was the first to retort: "No, I don't agree with Lao Cheng."
Li Shimin looked at the others again, but the others did not speak; In the end, it was the eldest grandson Wuji who asked, "I don't know what the emperor has planned?" ”
"I'm also a little entangled, I don't know whether to agree to make peace or not."
"Your Majesty, what's there to worry about, according to what Lao Cheng said, don't even think about this question, what's there to worry about", Cheng Yanjin said with some dissatisfaction.
"This country needs a relationship to maintain the bond between countries," Li Shimin said slowly.
How do you know that Cheng Biting Jin directly interrupted: "Your Majesty, then you are slowly entangled, and I will retire first."
Watching Cheng bite Jin retreat, Li Shimin said with some annoyance: "This old Cheng is getting more and more unruly."
Fang Xuanling frowned and asked Li Shimin, "Has the emperor decided to make peace?" ”
"Qiao Song, I have this plan, after all, in my eyes, the Turks are the first to be destroyed, and I already plan to send troops to destroy the Turks next year, and I will be ashamed of the snow Turkic soldiers to besiege Weishui."
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, do you know where the bite gold is now?" ”
"Where else can I go?"
Du Ruhui stood up and reminded; "Biting the gold is now possible on the way to the Xiaoyao Palace".
"What is he doing there?" Li Shimin said with some doubts.
The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to remember something, and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, do you remember what Prince Xiaoyao once said?" ”
Li Shimin thought about it, as if there was nothing, so he asked: "Auxiliary, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"The prince once said: no land, no compensation, no harmony, no tribute, no ministers, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies; The emperor said at the time that he would do it, but now he is."
Li Shimin's body trembled, and then he said to the eunuch beside him: "Go quickly, immediately chase Cheng Yanjin back for me."
Watching the eunuch leave quickly, Li Shimin said with some annoyance: "Why didn't you say it earlier, if Li Ran knew about this, maybe something would happen, did the old ** want to see my jokes, he just went whatever he said, hum."
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin sitting in his seat with an angry face, so he asked cautiously, "Do you want to invite the queen mother."
"Let's take a look at the situation first", Li Shiming really wanted to invite, but every time something happened, he had to ask the eldest grandson Wujian to solve it, which made him, a self-proclaimed ancient gentleman, put his face.
……
In front of the door of the Xiaoyao Palace, Cheng Biting Jin was about to knock on the door, but a voice stopped him: "Guogong and stay."
Cheng Yanjin knew his intention as soon as he saw that it was the eunuch next to Li Shimin, but he still asked, "Little Lizi, what are you looking for me to do with Lao Cheng?" ”
"Grandpa Guo, the emperor has changed his mind and will not kiss, so please don't disturb the prince"
"Oh, yes, hehe, I'm here to ask if my invitation has been delivered; Since the emperor doesn't let the prince be disturbed, then I don't ask Lao Cheng anymore, let's go."
But a voice stopped the footsteps of the two: "Where are you going, why don't you come in front of my door to say hello."
The two hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the prince."
"No need, let's say, is there something wrong with coming to my house?"
"No, I wanted to ask the prince if he had received my invitation from Lao Cheng, but the emperor suddenly sent someone to find me Lao Cheng, so Lao Cheng was going to the palace", Cheng said with a blushing face and panting.
"Yes, then how did I hear about kissing or something, who wants kissing?"
"No, the prince must have heard it wrong, I Lao Cheng is talking about He Qin, a girl from Hualou."
"Yes, you goblin is also interested in the girl in the **."
"Hehe, surely different women will have different tastes".
"Well, then you have to tell him to put on my clothes tightly, and maybe I'll pick up his clothes."
"Lao Cheng will definitely tell him, hehehe."
"Well, then you can go, but let me tell Li Shimin that the marriage of the princesses will be decided by Li Ran, and their future husbands will be chosen by themselves, so he doesn't have to worry about it; In two days, Dao Ye will send someone to bring the princess of the right age to the house, so that they can have more contact with the living."
"Yes, Lao Cheng will definitely bring the words of the prince."
Watching the two leave, Lao Dao's face turned cold: Li Er, you don't take my words seriously, I will teach you some lessons sooner or later, Dao Ye's patience is not great!
In the Ganlu Palace, Cheng Yanjin told Li Shimin the words of the old way word for word; Li Shimin sat in his position with a gloomy face, he was really afraid that Lao Dao would retire him one day, and he really didn't have the slightest confidence in controlling Li Ran, who was uncertain, maybe killing him was the best choice.
The terrifying thought was immediately expelled from Li Shimin's mind, and a cold sweat had already flowed down; Thinking about it carefully, Li Ran really didn't do anything to be sorry for himself, or did he take himself too seriously!
