It's rare to have a quiet good night's sleep, no bad things, no bad thoughts.

At dawn, Xie Yi lowered his head and kissed the foreheads of the two wives, got up to say goodbye and said a few words before going out.

The ladies were mentally prepared, so they didn't appear in the sad and tearful scene, even Xiaoman waved his hand obediently, and shouted that the third brother had a good journey.

Leaving Xue Yan with some guards to guard the Gongchuan villa, and then he left with Yebei and some followers, rushed back to Chang'an, and then set off with Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and headed for Hedong.

When Xie Yi arrived at Baqiao, in addition to Li Zhi's chariot and horse honor guard, there was also a black pressure on a human head, the armor was shiny, and the tip of the blade and spear was shaking in the sun, and it was actually a group of soldiers.

After inquiry, I learned that in view of the fact that his favorite young son was going to travel far away, Li Shimin was very worried about his safety, so he specially dispatched 500 elite soldiers from Zuotun Wei to accompany him.

In addition, along the way, there were few secret agents sent by the imperial court to keep an eye on the front and back, and the magistrates of various states and counties also had to deal with each other to curry favor with His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

That's the charm of power!

Li Zhi was very excited, refused to ride in the carriage, and chose to ride on horseback, but he didn't know how long he could hold out.

Li Shimin did not appear in the crowd of send-offs, the leader was Princess Changle, the eldest sister is like a mother, she has always played this role very well.

As for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, they didn't seem to have the intention of playing a good brother. Of course, because of the Jinju incident, their identities are somewhat embarrassing, and it is reasonable not to appear.

"Xie Changshi, the pheasant slave is still young, and the first time he goes out alone, he has to trouble you, so take care of it." Seeing Xie Yi, Princess Changle had to give a shout.

Xie Yi immediately said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, rest assured. Xie Yi will definitely take good care of His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

"Xie Changshi, take me too!" Princess Jinyang's son-in-law was also at the scene, and suddenly came up with such a sentence.

Princess Changle hurriedly said: "Don't make trouble, my ninth brother is going to do business, it's inconvenient to take you there." ”

"Hmph, my father is eccentric. Jindi is the fief of the ninth brother, and Jinyang is also my fief, why can the ninth brother go to pay homage to the emperor, but I can't go? ”

The little princess's momentum is undiminished, and the reason seems to be sufficient, after all, she is the princess of Jinyang. It's just that according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the princess can only enjoy the tax wealth of the fief, which has nothing to do with the power of the fief.

"Son, be obedient. Brother Jiu is going to do business, and he will have the opportunity to take you to play again in the future. Li Zhi hurriedly comforted him.

Xie Yi also said: "The road is far away, the princess is still young, and we are reluctant to let you suffer from the fatigue of the carriage and horses." So I'm still listening to Your Majesty's words, stay in Chang'an, the minister promised the princess, when you come back, from Jinyang, your fiefdom gift is good? ”

Princess Changle persuaded again. This time, he coaxed the indignant Princess Jinyang, and then confessed in his mind. You have to bring yourself a gift back.

After bidding farewell to the gentle and virtuous Princess Changle and the cute Princess Jinyang with a small mouth, Xie Yi and Li Zhi officially crossed the Ba Bridge and set off for Hedong.

Because it was not a complete farewell to Chang'an, and I didn't want to be too sensational, such a link as folding willow was not staged.

Li Zhi couldn't hide his excitement, and rode his horse with the reins. Although he is not very old, his riding skills seem to be good. In this regard, the education of the Tang royal family is not bad.

Since he was a child, in addition to reading and hyphenating, learning poetry and book etiquette, the prince also learned riding and archery. Except that Li Tang has Hu blood. In these years, the real gentleman's six arts are the mainstream, and the number of Lile Shooting Imperial Books is indispensable.

Unlike those princes who are raised in the deep palace, don't say that they don't know how to ride and shoot, their health is poor, and they don't know the sufferings of the people, so that the lords of mediocrity emerge in endlessly. In the past, there was Emperor Hui of Jin who didn't eat meat porridge for the common people, and then there was the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zhi, who is known as the weakest among Li Shimin's sons, is riding a horse at this moment, and he also looks heroic. Is it because the historical records are wrong, or is it that after his education and training in the past few years, Li Zhi has improved?

Xie Yi didn't talk about it himself, anyway, Li Zhi's current performance is good, but he has never been exposed to others, so there is nothing remarkable about it.

This time when he went to Hedong, he had to find an opportunity to push Li Zhi to the front, at least let Li Shimin see Li Zhi's talent and potential, if he never took Li Zhi into account, then no matter what he planned, it would be in vain.

Therefore, although the most important thing at the moment seems to be Taoguang and obscurity, it must also be revealed, so that His Majesty Li Er and the courtiers can be prepared.

Li Zhi does not need to form a party, but he must let some people see his potential, be willing to follow him when necessary, and stand behind him.

As for the circle of the prince's fight, try not to get into it, but if you want to avoid it completely, I'm afraid it's impossible to stay out of it.

The world is not perfect, and there are many things in the world, so Xie Yi does not expect everything to develop according to his own mind, as long as the general direction remains the same.

At this time, the only uncertainty was Li Zhi's thoughts.

I plan like this in the back, and I don't know what he himself is thinking, what if he himself is unwilling, or has other ideas?

This is the most important problem, and if the chain is dropped, everything will be in vain.

However, no matter from the original history, now from the current observation, it should not be. As the prince of the emperor, Li Zhi could not have no thoughts about the throne.

Maybe not when you're young now, but what about when you're older? Even if he didn't covet it, could he refuse when the throne was in front of him?

What's more, in addition to subjectivity, there are also external factors, when a group of people want him to go to that position, it is not easy to refuse.

is like the Chen Qiao Mutiny in the early Northern Song Dynasty in the later generations, when the soldiers put the yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin's body, even if he didn't want to, was there any possibility of refusal?

So this question is not the most important, what matters is how to operate and push Li Zhi to the forefront. Then let Li Chengqian and Li Tai pinch more fiercely, and then they have to "beware" of Li Ke, the king of Wu......

Alas, although the original historical result is indeed like this, when I really am in it and intervene in person, I find that it is not the case, and it is not easy to achieve it.

Especially when you are a variable, but you still want to follow the original historical trajectory, it seems less and less relaxed. The traveler can enjoy the advantage of an unpredictable prophet, but many times he is also kidnapped by history, and the advantage is not necessarily so great.

After all, Heaven is fair, and it is impossible for people to take all the benefits.

So people, you can't be insatiable, you still have to work hard, after all, it's man-made!

If you are the worst, you must do your best and obey the destiny of heaven. (To be continued.) )
