Chapter 149: Look down on the ancients
After Li Ke left, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair in a daze, his eyes closed, and his thoughts flew wildly: "Did Qin Xuan see something from my face, or did he know the situation in the imperial court in particular?" What Tyre did was a bit disappointing, but it doesn't mean that Tyre will stumble, right? If what Qin Xuan said was right, Tai'er and Chengqian both lost the possibility of inheriting the unification for various reasons, then only Zhi'er and Ke'er would remain! ”
"As Qin Xuan said, Wuji should support Zhi'er for the benefit of the eldest grandson family, and I'm afraid that even I won't be able to control it at that time. After all, as Qin Xuan said, the eldest grandson Wuji does not have much ambition, if Ke'er inherits the unification, then the eldest grandson Wuji will be more or less slack, hey! Headache, forget it, don't think about it, I'm in good health now, even if I have to think about the future, it's still too early! ”
There was nothing to say all night, but a few people couldn't sleep all night, in addition to Li Shimin couldn't let go, Li Ke was also worried about this matter, and Qin Xuan realized that he had said too much after Li Ke left, and he might have some bad influence on himself, resignation, I'm afraid it's not so simple, and if Li Shimin knows that he is talking about the position of the prince in private, I'm afraid he will also have a bad feeling about himself.
The next day, in the early morning, the sun slowly floated, and the sharp corners of the sun were reflected in the dazzling morning glow around it, which was beautiful. Qin Xuan got up, the air was a little cold, but Qin Xuan didn't care at all, put on his robe, and ran around the backyard.
One lap, two laps, three laps, I don't know how much time has passed, and I don't know how many laps Qin Xuan has run, Qin Xuan doesn't know it. There was no consciousness at all, and in my mind, it was all what I said to Li Ke yesterday.
The sun was slowly rising, and Qin Xuan was also sweating profusely, drops of sweat slowly sliding down from Qin Xuan's cheeks. Qin Xuan was still running, the only difference was that Qin Xuan's breathing became rapid, and he took a big breath.
I don't know how much time passed, Rui'er got up. Also came to the backyard to get ready for a run. Just stepped into the backyard arch. Rui'er saw Qin Xuan striding into a meteor. After waiting for a while, seeing Qin Xuan running in front of him, Rui'er also followed Qin Xuan's pace and started running. "Uncle. You wake up so early! You must have been running for a long time! ”
Qin Xuan didn't speak. It's not that Qin Xuan didn't see Rui'er. It's that Qin Xuan can't speak, and he can't run a little prostration, Qin Xuan should be in mechanical movement now.
Rui'er saw that Qin Xuan didn't speak. I suddenly remembered that Qin Xuan once said that you should not talk when running, so as not to have a stomachache, and remembered that she had not listened to her uncle's words.
The steps of the uncle and nephew are quite tacit, the pace is neat, and Rui'er's running movements are also taught by Qin Xuan, which is very standardized, from a distance, except for Qin Xuan's hair fluttering in the wind, every move is very beautiful.
After an unknown amount of time, Rui'er couldn't hold on anymore and slowly slowed down. "Uncle, you are too good at running, I can't do it, I want to take a break!"
Qin Xuan nodded, still didn't speak, but his pace also slowed down, his speed gradually slowed down, and before he could take a quick step, he put his hands on his chest and walked slowly with a grin. Rui'er also put her hands on her chest and walked slowly. This is also the result of Qin Xuan's teaching.
Rui'er walked a few steps quickly, came to Qin Xuan's side, and asked, "Uncle, it seems that you haven't been left in motion!" ”
Qin Xuan smiled slightly, and said intermittently: "It's still ...... Remember...... Uncle...... What was ever said? After a slight pause, Qin Xuan continued: "If it is...... Only read, will read stupid, and ...... to the body It's not good, it will be ...... when the time comes. Become what people call a weak scholar! ”
Before Qin Xuan finished speaking, Rui'er continued: "Rui'er has always remembered that although Rui'er doesn't have the luxury of becoming the all-round talent in civil and military affairs that his uncle said, he also doesn't want to be a weak scholar!" ”
Qin Xuan nodded and said casually: "Okay, you do gymnastics, uncle go wash up!" After speaking, Qin Xuan turned his head and wanted to walk to the front yard, before running, Qin Xuan had already drunk what he said, so that the prepared bath bucket and hot water had also been prepared.
Back in his room, Qin Xuan quickly took off the clothes on his body, and jumped directly to the pain of the bath bucket, leaning on the bath bucket, putting his hands on the edge of the bath bucket, and continuing the problem that he didn't figure out. "Ke'er shouldn't be bored and run to Li Shimin to talk about this, as for who will inherit the unification between Zhi'er and Ke'er, it doesn't seem to be my business!"
"It seems that I remember that Ke'er was suspected of rebellion and was forced to commit suicide shortly after Li Zhi ascended the throne, and when the time comes, I must think of a way to help Ke'er find a way out......"
Just as Qin Xuan was immersed in his thoughts, a subordinate voice came from outside the door: "Childe, Gonggong Feng has come to announce the decree, and he is in the hall now!" ”
Qin Xuan came back to his senses, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he muttered to himself in his heart: "Isn't this Gonggong Feng every time he makes people shout in the courtyard, why is he suddenly so calm today, and he is still waiting in the hall!" ”
After wiping his body with a towel in a haphazard manner, Qin Xuan picked up the brand-new robe from the wooden hanger on the side, and muttered as he wore it: "Decree?" What is this Feng Gonggong's purpose? Could it be that Li Shimin really asked me to participate in the Battle of Gaochang? ”
Qin Xuan forgot to deal with the subordinates outside the door, and the subordinates didn't know if Qin Xuan heard it, and after waiting for a while, he asked again: "Childe, did you hear, Gonggong Feng is waiting for Gongzi in the hall, saying that he wants to announce the decree!" ”
Qin Xuan came back to his senses, he didn't pay attention to his subordinates for a long time, smiled bitterly, and said casually: "Zhilu Dao, I'll get dressed!" ”
After a while, Qin Xuan was wearing a sky-blue robe, his hair bun still had a trace of water stains, he brushed his long hair, coiled it with a hairpin, opened the door, and walked towards the hall. As soon as I walked to the hall, I saw that Gonggong Feng was not in a hurry at all, sitting on the chair, holding a teacup, and tasting tea in a leisurely manner.
The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth curved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Oh, my father-in-law Feng, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much!" ”
Gonggong Feng giggled when he heard Qin Xuan's words. "Hey, I said Master Qin. Not to mention that you are busy running around for Your Majesty, but our family has to wait for Your Majesty in the palace all the time! ”
Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and signaled, "Father-in-law Feng, please take a seat!" After a slight pause, Qin Xuan continued: "In the final analysis, Your Majesty still trusts Gonggong Feng, otherwise there are so many servants in the palace, why can't You Grandpa Feng place an order for Your Majesty?" This shows that Gonggong Feng is doing things to reassure His Majesty! ”
Hearing Qin Xuan's praise, Gonggong Feng's face became even more joyful, and his mouth was about to crack to the back of his head. "Hey, Master Qin is really lifting up the miscellaneous family. Look at it from a miscellaneous family. Qin Shi is the most trusted minister of His Majesty, not to mention anything else, just last night, His Majesty was because of Qin Xuan. Sleepless nights. It's enviable! ”
Hear this. Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Feng must be joking." How can he be in Xia, how can he let His Majesty stay awake all night, His Majesty must be thinking about a certain mother! ”
After listening to Qin Xuan's words, Gonggong Feng was a little unconvinced, and immediately said, "Hey! Master Qin, don't believe it, Your Majesty slept in the Taiji Palace last night, and did not summon any maidens to serve, and besides, Your Majesty seemed to keep saying Master Qin's name last night! ”
Qin Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out. "What Gonggong Feng said seems to be true, but I don't believe it! If it's true, Gonggong Feng, you can make it clear! ”
Gonggong Feng didn't think much about it, and said directly: "What did Your Majesty say yesterday, 'Qin Xuan's filter is far-reaching, and even the matter of a few years later has been considered now!" After a slight pause, Gonggong Feng continued: "Your Majesty also said, 'Qin Xuan is so talented, if he can become a minister of Tuogu, then even after a hundred years, Datang will definitely be more prosperous!'" ’”
Qin Xuan's expression paused slightly, and then he stared sideways at Gonggong Feng for a long time, picked up the teacup on the side casually, and drank it by himself, but he was a little puzzled in his heart: "Why is this Gonggong Feng so good today, is it true or false, why do I always have a weird feeling?" ”
When Qin Xuan muttered in his heart, Gonggong Feng was also a little uneasy, and secretly slandered himself: "It is said that this Qin Xuan is very smart, will he see something?" Probably not, I'm pretending to be like that? Gonggong Feng, who was not very down-to-earth in his heart, spoke directly again: "Master Qin, what the miscellaneous family said is the truth. Forget it, don't do it for this, Your Majesty has a secret decree for you, take it! ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he was about to kneel, but before he thought about it, Gonggong Feng directly said casually: "Master Qin doesn't need it, Your Majesty has ordered it, just take it directly!" After speaking, Gonggong Feng still snorted, shook his head and said: "What the miscellaneous family said is right, Your Majesty loves Master Qin very much, and you don't need to kneel down when you receive this order, if you change others, how can there be such a reason!" ”
Feng Gonggong's words, although Qin Xuan believed it, but it was not the truth, Li Shimin often gave some secret letters to his courtiers, especially Conglong's ministers, and there were several people who did not need to kneel, such as Fang Xuanling, such as Du Ruhui, who died early, and the eldest grandson Wuji was naturally among them.
Qin Xuan took the letterhead, but Gonggong Feng had no intention of leaving, Qin Xuan paused for a moment, and then said, "That...... Gonggong Feng, I will read the will of His Majesty first, Gonggong Feng later! ”
Gonggong Feng chuckled and said casually: "Master Qin's reading is, the miscellaneous family will drink tea, and after Master Qin finishes reading, he will tell the miscellaneous family a word, which is also His Majesty's will to the miscellaneous family!" ”
Qin Xuan was uneasy in his heart, opened the letterhead, took out a letter from the letterhead, and read it silently.
"Qin Xuan, I will say a little bit first, after reading the ruined letter, I want to tell you, no matter who inherits the unification in the future, it is still my world, I hope you can help me well, if it weren't for my talent, do you think I would tell you so much?"
"The Battle of Gaochang, you must participate, this battle is very important to me and to the Tang Dynasty, I hope you can think about it, and I won't say anything about the truth! Just for yourself and for your family! ”
In this sentence, Li Shimin was a naked threat, and Qin Xuan naturally saw it clearly. Moreover, Qin Xuan also knew that Li Shimin would do this, just like Li Shimin said, just looking at his own brains, Qin Xuan was not embarrassed now, but a little unhappy, of course, not because of Li Shimin, but because of Li Ke, after all, it was because of Li Ke that Li Shimin would do this.
Qin Xuan breathed a deep sigh of relief and continued to read the letter.
"As you said, the battle of Gaochang is to make an example of a hundred, if the battle of Gaochang this time, the Tang Dynasty fails, you also know the consequences, not only the majesty of the Tang Dynasty will be damaged, but also my prestige will be damaged, and what I want to tell you is that my prestige will be damaged. Then someone has to bear it, and you, just the most suitable person, you can think for yourself! ”
Qin Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and secretly thought to himself: "Yes, what Li Shimin said is right, in the final analysis, the battle of Gaochang was proposed by me to send troops, if this battle of Datang fails, then the responsibility must be me, Fang Xuanling will not." The eldest grandson Wuji will not. As for Hou Junji, of course there will be responsibility, but when the time comes. For yourself. Maybe Hou Junji will put all the responsibility on himself! ”
"Qin Xuan. Give me a letter! ”
Finally, Li Shimin's words made Qin Xuan choke. What is the situation, why would Li Shimin say it to himself in such a low voice, is it really because he has some brains, Qin Xuan can't help but secretly slander himself in his heart.
Qin Xuan naturally wouldn't believe that he had a good mind and was loved by Li Shimin, after all, the Tang Dynasty has a population of tens of thousands, and there are many people who have brains more than Qin Xuan, and there must be some reason why Li Shimin is like this.
After reading the letter for a long time, Qin Xuan shook his head for a long time, and said to Gonggong Feng, who was drinking tea calmly on the side: "Gonggong Feng, after returning to the palace, reply to Your Majesty, and know what to do in Xiazhidao!" ”
Gonggong Feng was slightly stunned, then got up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really like a god, before coming, Your Majesty has warned the miscellaneous family that Master Qin will definitely understand the truth of the matter, and he will definitely make the smartest choice!" ”
Qin Xuan smiled bitterly and said casually: "By the way, Gonggong Feng, there is something unclear below, if Gonggong Feng knows something in the future, I hope Gonggong Feng will tell the truth!" ”
"Oh?" Gonggong Feng looked sideways at Qin Xuan, and then said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family is also a Qin master, and he knows everything, but I didn't expect that Qin Shi also doesn't know the Tao!" Let's talk about it, if the miscellaneous family can help anything, they will definitely not shirk! ”
Qin Xuan pondered for a long moment, and then said: "Gonggong Feng, if you want to know the Dao of the Lower Majesty, has Your Majesty ever investigated the background of the Lower Dao?" ”
Gonggong Feng couldn't help frowning, glanced Qin Xuan up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Master Qin's life experience, what is the secret?" ”
Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Gonggong Feng said that he laughed, what secrets can he have, but after reading His Majesty's letter just now, I felt that His Majesty seemed to have something to say, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked!" ”
Qin Xuan said this, it is understandable, after all, Li Shimin's secret decree to Qin Xuan, it is impossible for Gonggong Feng to read it, so if he pushes the matter to the secret decree, Gonggong Feng will not understand even if he has some doubts.
Qin Xuan was right, Gonggong Feng did not think much about it after hearing the secret decree, after all, the secret decree, Gonggong Feng couldn't read it, and after a moment of silence, Gonggong Feng nodded and said: "The miscellaneous family doesn't know if His Majesty Dao has investigated Master Qin's life history, but Qin Xuan thinks about it, is it too smooth to come to Kyoto!" ”
Qin Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said in a lost voice: "It's too smooth, how can Gonggong Feng say this?" ”
Gonggong Feng took a sip of tea, slowly put the teacup on the table beside him, and said casually: "Don't you think that Master Qin thinks that the Zuixiang Building is opening too smoothly, and the conversation has been smooth when I met Your Majesty?" ”
When Qin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, he bit his lip, and secretly thought, "Drunken Xianglou? Meet Li Shimin? Taishun ......"
For a long time, Qin Xuan didn't come up with anything that Gonggong Feng was referring to, but he didn't ask again at the moment, so he sighed deeply and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect it, it turned out that I had already entered a big chess game in the next day!" ”
When Gonggong Feng heard Qin Xuan's sigh, he didn't move in the slightest, which made Qin Xuan even more afraid, he secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, sat down on the chair, and said with a wry smile: "Gonggong Feng, let's do it, if I want to enter the palace to face the saint, I wonder if Lu Dao can go with you?" ”
Gonggong Feng shook his head slightly, and then spread his hands: "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty has a will, if Master Qin is ready to enter the palace to face the saint, let the miscellaneous family inform you, think about it, you are not the only one in the world who can see through the original situation!" ”
Qin Xuan suddenly looked sideways, looked at Gonggong Feng, frowned, and said, "Gonggong Feng, what does this mean?" Isn't there even a chance to face the saint in the next place? ”
"Your Majesty's decree is like this, and there is no way for the miscellaneous family! However, the miscellaneous family and Master Qin also have some friendship, so let's talk a little more! Gonggong Feng paused slightly, and then said: "Master Qin, in fact, His Majesty ordered the miscellaneous family to come to deliver the secret decree, and this is how he explained to the miscellaneous family!" ”
"Give the secret decree to Qin Xuan, and then wait until Qin Xuan reads it, and bring Qin Xuan's answer back! In addition, if Qin Xuan asks me if I have investigated his background, you can say whatever you want, in case Qin Xuan wants to enter the palace to face the saint, then you can block it for me! Let Qin Xuan prepare well, after this matter passes, I will naturally take the time to talk to him! ”
After listening to Gonggong Feng's retelling, Qin Xuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Gonggong Feng blankly, and was even more shocked in his heart: "It seems that I have underestimated the ancients, and even more underestimated Li Shimin, if it is according to Gonggong Feng's words, Li Shimin thinks that things are so leaky, it is simply frightening!" ”
Gonggong Feng got up and said with a smile: "Okay, Master Qin, there are some things that don't need to be thought about, just let it be, after all, Your Majesty still trusts you very much, so you can contribute to the country!" After a slight pause, Gonggong Feng said casually: "The miscellaneous family will return to the palace now, and Master Qin will stay!" After speaking, Gonggong Feng directly took the Qianniu Wei guarding outside the door and strode out of the Qin Mansion.
As for Qin Xuan, looking at Gonggong Feng's back, he was a little dazed...... (To be continued......)
