Chapter 633: How dare you not do things with your heart?

(I suddenly discovered one thing, and I wrote Ming to the present 633 chapters, with more than 2.2 million words, surpassing the emperor in an all-round way...... I need to be sure, strongly. Other than that...... The small high-tide is over, and the big high-tide is coming. ）

The imperial study of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City

Li Yuan, who had obviously aged a lot in the past few days, was distraught and threw the music aside, as if he was feeling angry, and swept almost everything on the table again. A good inkstone on one side shattered, a white jade pen holder cracked a gap, and a porcelain cup shattered into countless pieces.

More than a dozen copies of the folds that he had seen and had not seen were scattered on the ground, and Gao Liansheng, the chief attendant, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and carefully blew away the ink sprinkled on the folds, and kept wiping them with his cuffs, panicking and uneasy.

"Don't pick it up!"

Li Yuan strode over, snatched it from Gao Liansheng's hand, threw it on the ground again, and then raised his foot and stepped on it a few times. He looks like an emperor at this time, more like a child who is angry and venting. Gao Liansheng had never seen Li Yuan throw things angrily, and he didn't know what's wrong, the emperor's temper has become more and more irritable recently, and his once gentle and generous temperament seems to have all disappeared.

"Your Majesty is angry."

Gao Liansheng hung his head and persuaded: "No matter how heavy the state affairs are, they are not as heavy as Your Majesty's body. ”

Li Yuan glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "You also go out, I want to be quiet." No one is allowed to enter the study without my will, no matter who it is! ”

Gao Liansheng opened his mouth but didn't dare to persuade again, and bowed down and exited the door. After going out lightly and closing the door, he straightened up and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Thinking of the words written on the fold I just picked up, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It is said that the emperor is the supreme in the world, and he has what he wants, and what he says. But who knew that the emperor was actually the hardest working one in the world?

The king of Qin entered the mountain, and he was afraid that there would be more than one bad luck if there was no supply. Although Gao Liansheng has been working in Jinyang Palace all year round, he also knows how dangerous the endless mountains in the southwest are. Legend has it that the mountain is inhabited by immortals, and mortals are not allowed to enter it casually, otherwise they will inevitably be killed.

There is a story from the common people that in the early years of the Great Cause, a group of robbers fled into the mountain in order to escape the capture of the government.

The servants in the yamen were short of manpower, so they asked the soldiers of Chang'an to help arrest them, and thousands of officers and soldiers entered the mountains and went around for several days but did not find those robbers. The robbers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace behind, and in desperation, the general who led the team had to order to withdraw. But the people outside the mountain waited for three days and three nights but did not see a single soldier come out, and when they organized people to search the mountain, they found hundreds of corpses by a small stream

A third of the people died here, and the others disappeared into thin air.

Later, it was said that these soldiers and robbers had angered the gods of the mountains and were put to death in the mountains. Gao Liansheng didn't believe that there were any immortals, but he firmly believed that the mountain was too vicious, and even if thousands of people and horses had been well prepared to enter the mountain, no one had found them until now, which could only mean that they couldn't find their way back after getting lost in the mountain, and were trapped alive in the mountain forest.

His Royal Highness King Qin would rather go into the mountains to die than come back and admit his mistake.

No wonder His Majesty was so angry, and not long after the will to bring King Qin back was issued, the news that King Qin had disappeared into the vast mountains arrived in Taiji Palace, and for a man who had just lost his wife and two sons, the other son was already his last hope.

Thinking of King Qin, Gao Liansheng thought of King Yan.

The corners of his mouth twitched and he shook his head slowly, saying in his heart that even he, a eunuch, could see that it was impossible for the emperor to recognize this son, I really don't know how there were so many people in the court who crowded their heads to Yan Wang's side, and even Lord Pei Lian and Guanglu Doctor Liu Zhenghui seemed to be quite close to King Yan. Can't these people see that the emperor's attitude towards King Yan is actually obvious?

Li Yuan sulked in the imperial study, but Li Xian had been living very fast these days. He was like an idler who had nothing to do, wandering around Chang'an City with a few followers all day long. As if the queen's death had nothing to do with him, Li Yuan even suspected that if it weren't for the fact that the Qinglou restaurants in Chang'an City were not allowed to operate during the queen's funeral, he would even visit them one by one.

Li Yuan couldn't help frowning when he thought of this, and the irritability in his heart became more and more intense.

"Your Majesty......"

Gao Liansheng's voice sounded outside the door.

"You forgot what I just said?! Get lost! ”

Li Yuan wanted to grab something and smash it against the door, but found that the table was empty and there was nothing.

"General Dugu of the prison guards asks to see me, Your Majesty, you ordered him to come over quickly......"

Gao Liansheng said cautiously outside.

"Let him in"

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and then shook his head in annoyance.

Dugu Xue pushed open the door and walked in, looking at the mess in the place, his heart tightened.

"Chen Dugu learns to see Your Majesty."

"Excuse me!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Now you go and bring the woman named Zhang Wancheng who is imprisoned in the East Palace into the palace, arrange a place at will, and you will personally guard it." Don't slack off and don't let her go out, give her whatever she needs to be satisfied, but never outsiders are allowed to visit, go now! ”

"Whoa!"

Dugu Xue hurriedly responded and turned around and left, walked out of the door of the imperial study and glanced at Gao Liansheng, both of them immediately shook their heads and smiled bitterly, Dugu Xue sighed and left quickly. It's just that no one saw it, and he didn't know why he suddenly picked the corners of his mouth after leaving the Taiji Palace, and seemed to smile very happily.

……

……

Li Xian walked through the streets of Chang'an with Qing Kite and Huang Luan and four or five guards, as if he was extremely interested in the shops on both sides. But to be honest, the layout of Chang'an City is too monotonous, and every street is almost the same, and if it weren't for the different storefronts, it would even give people the illusion of spinning in place.

He did not wear a royal robe, but a crescent-white gown. A jade belt was tied around his waist, and a jade pendant with extremely exquisite workmanship was hung on it, but the red tassel was gone. is a very delicate appearance, and this dress is even more graceful. Along the way, I don't know how many women and girls can't help but chase after me.

The people in Chang'an City are open, and in April, the women have changed into gauze skirts to show their wonderful figures. It's just that in extraordinary times, the gauze skirts are also plain. During these days, the Qinglou was not allowed to open, and the women who rarely rested leaned on the window to chat, and they didn't know who saw Li Xian first and couldn't help but let out a low admiration, and then this window was crowded with a few small heads.

"Good Peugeot son...... If you have a spring breeze with such a person, I won't take money from my aunt and grandmother! ”

"You think it's beautiful, haven't you seen anyone wearing a brocade dress? Obviously, he has a meritorious reputation, how can he look at our broken flowers and willows? ”

"Whew!"

The woman who spoke before gave her a blank look and said, "Meritorious and famous...... Those who are officials in the six departments and Jiuqing, my aunt and grandmother almost slept all over! ”

Li Xian, who was walking on the street, didn't notice the beauty of the warbler and swallow in the window, and his eyes sometimes swept over the stalls on the side of the road, as if he was really interested in everyone and everything in Chang'an City. He walked very slowly, pausing from time to time to whisper a few words to the attendants behind him.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, Li Xian looked at a snack stall not far away and walked over. I chose a random table and sat down, and told the boss to bring a few bowls of hot noodles. Eyes swept across the street, and those who followed them along the way immediately pretended to stop and shop.

Li Xian smiled, and said in his heart that these people sent by the palace were really not professional enough.

"Yo...... Isn't this the shopkeeper Wu? Why don't you eat the buns in my store to take care of my business? ”

The owner of the hot noodle seller saw an acquaintance and greeted him with a smile.

"It's not that you don't know what I'm selling, when do you dare to kill now? In case Jing Zhaoyin and the people of Chang'an Mansion know, the queen prince will use a knife to see blood during the funeral, and Lao Tzu will not be able to cut off a few heads! ”

The boss surnamed Wu sat down, glanced at Li Xian intentionally or unintentionally, and then left.

"Bring me a big bowl of noodles...... Oh, I said, Lao Sun, you dare to put green vegetables in the noodles, don't you know that bright things like red and green are not allowed during the funeral? The streets are full of plain people, and even the red lanterns of the Qinglou have been picked, and you dare to put green vegetables! ”

"Shopkeeper Wu, can I still do this small business when you are yelling like this?"

"I'm not kidding you, I'm hungry. You have quick hands and feet, and I have to go back to close the door and sleep after eating. I didn't have a chance to join the army and fight, so I had to hurry up and have a good dream of attacking the city. Become a general who leads thousands of troops, and conquer one city after another......"

He chattered, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

Li Xian smiled when he heard this, and his eyes brightened.

Jiangxian Yuan County

Yuan County is close to the Yellow River and is the southernmost county seat of Jiangxian County, which is particularly important because it is a halfway supply station for ships on the Yellow River, and ships coming from the east can make their last supply here and go directly to the capital Chang'an. The ships that went east from the direction of Chang'an had basically consumed most of the supplies they carried in Yuan County, and they had to be replenished here, otherwise the next stop would be to Heyang, which was thousands of miles away, to dock at a relatively large wharf.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, knowing the importance of this place, two Zhichong battalions and 2,400 elite guards have been placed to guard it. The general who defended the city was Fang Tong, a guerrilla general from Wupin, who was recruited by Li Yuan when he raised troops in Taiyuan, but he was very brainy, brave in battle, and in just one year he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a lieutenant from Liupin Zhenwei, and was promoted to a guerrilla general after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and was ordered to garrison Yuan County.

The county seat of Yuanxian County is next to the wharf, and it can also be said that the south gate of the county seat is part of the wharf. Fang Tong placed the men and horses of the two Zhechong battalions outside the south gate and the east gate of Yuan County respectively, and he himself personally stationed a battalion of soldiers and horses at the South Gate Wharf.

On April 23, a large ship from Jiangnan docked at the pier. The ship was carrying this year's new tea, which was to be sent to the Chang'an Palace. The dock director did not dare to slack off, and deliberately found a good ship space for the big ship to berth. The logo on this ship is the official ship of the Tang Dynasty, and the official who is responsible for escorting the tea on the ship has a letter and customs clearance documents, so there is nothing to doubt. The officers and soldiers stationed at the pier got off the ship after a routine inspection, and everyone had a small bag of new tea in their hands, so they were in a good mood.

In the middle of the night, dozens of black-clothed men suddenly rushed out of the official ship transporting new tea, carrying a package the size of a basin in their hands without exception, and quickly dispersed, and soon the dock was buried by an explosion. After the fire ignited, countless centipede clippers flew from downstream, and taking advantage of the fire, the black-armored warriors on the centipede clippers quickly landed on the shore and took control of the dock in a short time.

A slightly shorter but extremely strong black-faced man carried a pair of particularly scary copper hammers, hehe, he laughed a few times, and led a large group of elite soldiers straight to the station of the camp!

Thirty miles away, hundreds of large ships moved slowly. On the bow of a huge five-toothed ship stood a young man dressed in a Confucian shirt. He stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the faintly visible firelight in the distance, and said calmly: "The lord does not hesitate to put himself in Chang'an City to relax Li Tang's guard, how dare you and I not do things with all our hearts?" This expedition is for a quick word, Chang'an City was tossed and messed up by Li Shimin, several warlike generals under Li Yuan were either executed or fled or sent out to suppress the rebellion, Li Xiaogong led people to hunt down Li Shimin, Li Daozong led the army to take over Duan Zhixuan's men, Liu Hongji was sent to the official position and was idle at home, Qu Tutong did not know what to do, Yin Kaishan was beheaded, and the elite soldiers of Hedong County were transferred, if you don't grasp such a good opportunity...... How can you and I be worthy of such a clever calculation as the lord? ”

Dozens of generals behind him replied neatly: "Please command!" ”

The man in the Confucian shirt looked into the distance, pointed ahead and said, "First level the east of the river, and go straight to Chang'an!" ”
