In July of the following year, the sky was clear, the autumn was high and cool, and the north was cuiling.

The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, it is a rare place in Guanzhong with pleasant scenery and mountains, about 50 miles away from Chang'an City, and it is Li Shimin's favorite royal hunting ground.

In autumn, many animals have made a lot of reserves for the winter, and most of them are fat, so this time is also the best time for the royal organization to hunt in autumn.

In July, Li Shimin brought the crown prince Li Zhi and other civil and military officials, as well as 20,000 Tang troops, to Beicuiling for hunting.

A whole year has passed, and Li Shimin's father and son seem to have reunited. However, Li Zhi clearly remembered that today was the day of Jiu'er's death, and he planned to secretly pay tribute to his former beloved wife. It's just that Li Shimin suddenly decided to hunt, which made him have to give up his original plan and follow the army to participate in the hunt.

Because the imperial court had already decided to march north to Goryeo, this autumn hunt was nothing more than a rehearsal for the forbidden army that came to accompany it. No matter how big the family affairs are, they can only give way to state affairs at any time, and Li Zhi can still do this.

The eldest grandson Wuji walked beside Li Zhi, this is his sister's last son, and he doesn't want anything wrong with Li Zhi. Since the deposed prince of Chengqian and the demotion of Li Tai, the king of Wei, the eldest grandson Wuji began to pay attention to Li Zhi.

This is not just because Li Zhi is the crown prince, but because he is the target of several major forces. Since Chengqian was deposed and Li Tai was demoted, the eldest grandson Wuji has seen Li Shimin's intentions.

At this time last year, Li Ji hurried to his mansion and begged him to go to the Changsheng Nunnery to rescue Princess Jin, but the eldest grandson Wuji didn't care about it.

At that time, Li Shimin ignored everyone's opposition and established the daughter of Shang Jia, Wen, as the princess of Jin, and the eldest grandson Wuji had great objections. This time, the princess of Jin was framed and had an affair with the emperor, Li Shimin wanted to take the opportunity to replace the princess of Jin and include the Wen family as a harem, and the eldest grandson Wuji also agreed.

After all, it was a little inappropriate for the daughter of Shang Jia to be the future queen, and since Princess Jin had lost her virginity, it was understandable to push the boat along the river.

It wasn't until Li Shimin asked him if he could replace Li Zhi with Li Ke, the king of Wu, as the prince, that he realized the seriousness of the problem. He never thought that the emperor's father and son would be estranged for a woman, and in the end it was to the point of easy storage.

He immediately rejected Li Shimin's proposal, and dispelled Li Shimin's idea of replacing the crown prince on the grounds that the frequent replacement of the prince was unfavorable to the country. Since someone jumped out, Changsun Wuji quickly found out that Concubine Yang, Princess Wu, and Concubine Wu were all involved in this action to frame Princess Jin.

The eldest grandson Wuji quickly arrested Princess Wu and Princess Wu into the palace, and wanted to interrogate them strictly and interrogate the forces behind them, but he didn't want to kill Princess Jin that day, and Li Zhi drowned Princess Wu and Princess Wu the next day in retaliation for Princess Jin being killed.

At this point, all the clues were broken, although the eldest grandson Wuji could faintly see who the force behind this was, but only then did he realize that what he saw might only be the tip of the iceberg of this force.

This force is not only huge, but also more ambitious and energetic. They quietly controlled the prince of the Tang Dynasty, forcing Li Shimin to sacrifice his two sons to sabotage their plan to win the future by controlling the prince.

Recently, the eldest grandson Wuji once again temporarily dispelled Li Shimin's idea of setting up another Taiyuan princess as the princess of Jin for Li Zhi.

The horn sounded, and the marching brigade immediately stopped and dispersed the camp.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the Qin Huaiyu brothers who were erecting a tent a hundred zhang away, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. Although the emperor is still suspicious of the Yiguo family, they still loyally protect the Tang Dynasty.

In this expedition to Goryeo, the Tang Dynasty was short of troops. Li Shimin requisitioned and transferred 10,000 remnants of Wagang, who were temporarily led by Qin Huaiyu's brothers, but the emperor still couldn't rest assured of them. Three thousand men took part in the hunt, and they were placed on the fringes far from the royal family.

Qin Huaiyu, as the chief general of this army, should have set up a military tent in the center of the army, but he still set up his own military tent in the closest place to Li Zhi in order to come to the rescue.

What the eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand was that Qin Qiong, the old prince of the country, abandoned his martial arts in exchange for the emperor's trust, and handed over the last bit of strength in his hand to the emperor, but he still failed to exchange for the emperor's trust.

Why Li Shimin guarded against this loyal army like a thief is something that the eldest grandson Wuji still can't understand.

The eldest grandson Wuji still remembers the invincible army that charged into battle, the brain of that army was Li Ji, the force was Cheng Zhijie, and the soul was Qin Qiong.

"Uncle." Li Zhi's shout interrupted the train of thought of the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the future monarch dotingly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Zhi said: "I want to go out for a walk. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned slightly, and said: "There are wild beasts in the mountains and fields, so don't go around, so as not to have an accident." ”

Li Zhi thought that today was Jiu'er's death day, and although he was in a hurry and didn't bring any sacrifices, he still wanted to find a place to secretly pay tribute.

Li Zhi looked back at the eight guards around him and said, "It's not in the way, I'll bring people." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Why did you only bring so many people, it's too thin." Wait a minute, I'll ask Yiguo Gong to bring some people with me, so that I can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi's face changed, and he smiled unnaturally: "I'll just walk around, and I can use Yiguo Gong to come there." ”

After Jiu'er's death, Li Zhi never dared to meet Qin Huaiyu, he felt that it was a very shameful thing to fail to protect his wife, especially in front of Qin Huaiyu and them.

How could the eldest grandson Wuji put his mind at ease, looking at Li Zhi who was leaving in a hurry, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Qin Huaiyu. He also asked his chief guard to lead people to follow secretly and make marks along the way, so as not to find the direction of Qin Huaiyu and them when they arrived.

Not long after Li Zhi left, Li Shimin found him here and asked Li Zhi where he was. Until now, Li Zhi and him are still inseparable, which makes Li Shimin regret his recklessness a little.

In fact, what Li Shimin regrets is not that he encroached on his daughter-in-law's body. The fact that Liwen's daughter was the princess of Jin was nothing more than a temporary measure, the purpose was to prevent those forces from taking the opportunity to control the King of Jin, and at the same time, to appease the forces of the Yiguo Gong faction.

Similarly, because she is the daughter of a merchant, there will be no great resistance to replacing Princess Jin after Li Zhi is established as the prince in the future. In fact, what Zhang Wenyi didn't know was that her fate had already decided the tragic ending when she was made the princess of Jin, which was difficult for her to change.

In Li Shimin's consciousness, women are like clothes, and whoever wears them is not wearing them. What he shouldn't be is coveting Princess Jin's body and wanting to include her in the harem. If Princess Jin is executed immediately after being sent to the Changsheng Nunnery, it will not cause a separation between father and son.

What he regrets now is how he could be like a hairy boy at that time, not only wanting to get people, but also wanting to get hearts. It's just that now he can still recall the merry and happy and unrestrained comfort of those days, and now there is no such woman in his harem.

Li Zhi left the camp less than twenty feet and entered a forest. Li Zhi saw that it was quiet here, so he wanted to get off the horse and sacrifice his beloved wife here. But just as he was about to rein in the war horse, the horse war stepped on the tail of a ferret. The ferret jumped up reflexively and bit the horse's rump.

The war horse was frightened and carried Li Zhi all the way, and although the guards who followed Li Zhi did not know what was going on, they could only beat their horses one after another to keep up. But how could the guard's horse outrun the frightened horse, and besides, Li Zhi's horse was a bloody horse from the Western Regions.

Qin Huaiyu and the others who came later relied on their superb riding skills, and they could finally see Li Zhi's back, but they were never able to close the distance. Moreover, the more Qin Huaiyu and the others chased, the more frightened they became, as long as there was a slight mistake in such a fast horse speed, the consequences were unimaginable.

On the battlefield, it is often easier to shoot a horse than a person, and if a horse traveling at high speed is suddenly shot down, most of the cavalry on horseback will be thrown out, and there are many people who break their necks and lumbar vertebrae. This is why there is a saying that shooting people first shoots horses, and the consequences of shooting horses are actually more direct and serious than shooting people.

The galloping war horse quickly ran out of this small forest, but Qin Huaiyu's heart suddenly cooled. Because out of the woods, there is a mountain stream not far away. This mountain stream is not wide, but it is also about ten zhang wide. War horses can't be crossed no matter what! Li Zhi sat down on the horse, but regarded the mountain stream as nothing, and jumped over with a long neigh.

Where did Qin Huaiyu and the others dare to do this, and they strangled their war horses on the edge of the mountain stream. And Li Zhi's war horse was very physically exhausted at this time, and it was too crazy, and it slowed down after running a few more steps. At this time, Li Zhi wanted to make it jump back but couldn't do it anyway, the horse was also crazy just now, and now it didn't dare to try again.

Qin Huaiyu and the others asked Li Zhi to stay where he was, and they found their way down the mountain to answer. Li Zhi agreed, turned over and dismounted, and led it towards a tree not far away. He obviously wanted to tie the war horse somewhere, take a rest, and wait for Qin Huaiyu and them to come and answer.

Just as he was about to tie his horse, Li Zhi noticed that there seemed to be smoke not far away. I smelled the smell in the air, and it seemed to be a memorial incense candle. Is there a home nearby? Although I don't know why this person came to burn incense, Li Zhi happened to be a little thirsty at this time, and if someone lived nearby, he might as well ask for some water to drink.

After walking for a while, I saw two new tombs in front of me, and a woman had just stood up and walked down the hill after worshipping.

Seeing her back gait, Li Zhi was shocked. It was his haunting body, the back of his midnight dreams that had disappeared as he approached to be caught.

"Jiu'er!" Li Zhi yelled.

The back was also shocked, but soon continued on its way, as if he had never heard his shout, but Li Zhi was sure that she heard it.

He was about to catch up with him, but he saw a little girl of two or three years old jumping out of the roadside with her arms outstretched, smiling and shouting "Mother, Mother" and pounced on the woman.
