Chapter 159: The Storm is Coming
Chapter 159 The storm is coming
(Bow down and thank "Little Leaf Little Grass" for the precious pink vote.) There is a recommendation next week, and there will be a small outbreak in a few days, and I hope that the relatives will support you a lot...... )
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Li Shimin did not take the Son of Heaven's honor guard when he went out. Fortunately, he was born as a military general, and there would be no discomfort when he rode a horse. Therefore, in the line of escorting Li Rusong back to his home, except for the sick Li Rusong, all of them rode horses.
Li Rusong is very low-key as an official on weekdays, so the gate of the Li Mansion is closed most of the time. When Li Shimin and his party rushed to the Li Mansion, they inevitably ate a closed door. And what's even more helpless is that the two remaining women in the Li Mansion who can be the masters of the house are crying with a headache at this time......
It wasn't until the limbs of the horses ridden by Li Shimin and his party became weak that the middle gate of the Li Mansion slowly opened. Mrs. Li's > and Xiaoxiao had a pair of peach-like eyes, and led dozens of people up and down the Li Mansion to kneel to greet each other.
Li Rusong was originally very comfortable and slept soundly in the carriage, but after arriving at the gate of Li's mansion, the carriage stopped, and he couldn't sleep steadily. After you woke up, she summoned Li Qin to her side and asked:
"Qin'er, why did you stop?"
"Father. It's home! ”
"Then go in! What is the pestle doing at the door? ”
Li Qin's tongue rolled: "Mother and ...... Sister...... I haven't opened the door yet! ”
"Oh!". Li Rusong then remembered that His Majesty the Emperor was still with him all the way, and couldn't help reproaching:
"It's too unusual, your mother and sister are just okay, they are women after all. Xuan'er has always been old-fashioned, so why don't you know how to make an idea at this time, and send someone to open the door to meet her? Let His Majesty pest like this at the door, for the sake of his father, he is getting more and more confused...... "In fact, he himself is more confused at this time, but these words are very sober. In other words, as long as it involves His Majesty Li Er, he is very sober.
Li Qin sighed again in his heart: Okay, how should this lie be fulfilled later? Time is pressing, and I don't even have time to confess with my mother and sister. Fortunately, Li Rusong was groggy and complained a few words, and then his attention shifted to other places:
"Why didn't you put an incense case?"
"Uh...... Father, the incense case is only used when the Holy Decree is received, and there is no Holy Decree today......"
Li Rusong was indeed dizzy, because he had a terrible fever, and when he heard the "oh", he waved his hand and began to be drowsy again, but not long after lying down, he suddenly became energetic:
"Qin'er, go and call the door, ask Xuan'er to come out and pick up the car, it's too unusual, for the father, he will be punished for his good life today......"
Li Qin trembled for a while when he heard this, and he almost jumped to his feet in a hurry, where did he go to find Jiang Zhixuan at this time? At the moment, grinding and chirping are hard-headed. I want to go and open the door first. Li Shimin was in a good mood, and he rode patiently on horseback motionless. Listening to the conversation between the father and son of the Li family behind him, he almost laughed out loud with a grin. Where Jiang Zhixuan is, he knows best:
It is said that after Jiang Zhixuan was tied up by the royal guards and brought into the palace, Li Shimin figured out the whole story and made the final decision. He wrote a holy decree by hand, and asked him to take the holy decree and quickly go to the Ministry of Rites to find Li Xiaogong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and let him handle it according to the meaning of the holy decree. And said to Jiang Zhixuan that at this time, it is related to Jiang Zhixuan's future and the fate of the Jiang family. As for Li Rusong's safety, once there is news, someone will go to the Ministry of Rites to inform him.
Jiang Zhixuan received the holy decree, although he was concerned about his father-in-law and his beloved wife. But his beloved wife was temporarily comforted by the queen, and his father-in-law also had three Xinglin national players personally brought by His Majesty, and he really couldn't help himself, and besides, His Majesty said it so seriously, so he had to go on fire. The general meaning of the decree above is:
Jiang Zhixuan, the champion of the new department, collided with the queen's car and drove first, and the champion couple sacrificed their lives to save Li Zhi, the king of Jin. Merit is greater than demerit, deserve the award! The Ministry of Ceremonies reschedules the celebrations. Jiang Zhixuan is still the champion of the palace examination in the eleventh year of Zhenguan......
Therefore, at this time, Jiang Zhuangyuan was in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for the arrangement of Li Xiaogong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, like a trapped beast.
Li Qin walked to the door of the Li Mansion and wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't expect the middle door to open at this time. Li Qin saw his sister and mother with red and swollen eyes at a glance, and his heart chuckled. immediately reacted: I'm afraid that the old sister thought that her father was dying, and she couldn't help but be sad when she got home, and her mother found out what clues, and finally interrogated her. But at this time, Li Rusong was out of danger of his life, and Li Qin naturally wanted to be appeased:
"Mother, sister, although my father was injured, but it is fine, Your Majesty has asked the best imperial doctor to treat my father, and personally sent my father back, you should put your heart back, at the moment, it is the right thing to take care of your father!"
Mrs. Li> originally only had a guess from her small words and deeds, and was finally interrupted by that person before she could tell the truth. So until now, she still doesn't know whether the master is alive or dead. At this time, when I heard my son say that the old man was just injured, my heart suddenly settled down. After all, it turned out to be much better than she had guessed!
Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised, in the palace before, she listened to the guard who passed the word so seriously, and thought that her father was going to die soon. Unexpectedly, now that the willows are bright, His Majesty the Emperor personally rushed to the rescue with the imperial doctor, and actually pulled his father back from the ghost gate.
Therefore, after listening to Li Qin's words, the mother and daughter glanced at each other, and their eyes began to turn red again, but this was because they cried with joy. And His Majesty the Emperor was still waiting outside the door, so he quickly wiped his eyelids with a towel and wiped away the tears, and then he took a group of subordinates to greet His Majesty the Emperor.
Li Shimin just sent Li Rusong back to express his heart. I didn't have the heart to stay in the Li Mansion. His wife and children in the palace are frightened today, and they are waiting for him, a husband and father, to return and appease them. Therefore, seeing Mrs. Li's "> and Xiaoxiao putting on this cumbersome formation, he hurriedly stopped it:
"The situation is special, a little red tape is exempt, Mrs. Li" >, Li Aiqing's body needs to be recuperated, so I bother you to take care of him for my good life. Li Aiqing has a meritorious service in saving the driver, and after he recovers from his injuries and returns to the dynasty, I will have a reward! ”。 Li Shimin paused as he spoke, and then looked at Xiaoxiao again, and said with a somewhat complicated expression:
"As for you, in that extremely critical line of life and death, you are pregnant with Liujia and even protect the pheasant slave with your body, if it weren't for your husband's mistake, can the pheasant slave be safe and sound and don't talk about it first, with the power of the six-stone strong bow in the hands of the mountain assassin, you will have no physiology! How can I not reward such loyalty and courage in such a weak woman as you? Say, how do you want me to reward you? ”
Where does Xiaoxiao still have the heart to open his mouth to be rewarded at this time? Daddy saved his life, and the family could be happily together, which was already the best reward for her. Shaking his head at the moment, he said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ron, but. Loyalty to the monarch and protection of the lord is the duty of tens of millions of people of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, even if the women did not defend themselves against the arrows, the other guards would have acted like the women. Your Majesty wants to reward, so please Your Majesty reward the guards who sacrificed in the Drunken Moon Tower, if they didn't protect the Lord with their bodies, and use their own blood and lives to open the way for Niangniang, maybe in the Drunken Moon Tower, the women would ...... with Niangniang" She didn't dare to say it anymore, that word was taboo.
Li Shimin didn't realize it, and his small words made him nod frequently. Those loyal royal guards, as well as the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers brought out by Li Rusong, paid such a heavy price for casualties. only to get back his wife and children. Although it is their duty to be a soldier and eat food, if it weren't for saving his wife and daughter, how could these elite hot-blooded athletes of the Tang Dynasty pay such heavy casualties?
It's just just six assassins, no matter how strong these assassins' martial arts are, if the two battalions of royal guards and two hundred Jingzhao Mansion Jingrui Mansion soldiers shoot together with strong bows and crossbows, these assassins will not be lucky at all. But for the safety of his wife and children, these guards had to use their flesh and blood to face the assassins who were like tigers descending from the mountain......
Thinking like this, Li Shimin's mood was also a little heavy. It's been more than ten years, and since he launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion and ascended to the throne, he hasn't seen such a bloody scene with his own eyes for more than ten years. Especially the two battalions of royal guards, many of whom were members of his Li royal family, on weekdays, Li Shimin still played with them from time to time. Unexpectedly, in less than a stick of incense, these young warriors closed their eyes forever......
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart, and the hatred for the mountain clan became more and more intense. Therefore, after a long time after finishing those words, Li Shimin coughed lightly and said:
"Xiaoxiao, you have this heart, it's good! You and your husband are very good, so I accepted your affection! Let's take my father home and take care of it first, and as for other things, I have my own place! ”
Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Li" >, as well as Li Qin and a group of people from the Li Mansion, heard the words and hurriedly knelt down to thank them. Li Shimin waved his hand to get them up, then turned his horse's head and galloped away with a group of guards. When Li Shimin walked away, several sturdy servants of the Li Mansion hurriedly rushed to the carriage without being instructed, and together with the few Jingzhao Mansion soldiers who remained, they carefully carried Li Rusong out of the carriage and carried him back to the room to cook well.
Mrs. Li: "> naturally has to follow and pave the way." Fortunately, I learned that Li Rusong was only injured, and this injury was extremely honorable, and it was almost certain that he would be promoted. Mrs. Li's > mind finally gradually returned to calm, and all work arrangements were in an orderly manner. Xiaoxiao and Li Qin didn't follow, after all, they didn't have Mrs. Li's "> knowledge, and if they went, they could only add to the chaos.
Seeing his mother enter the room with a large group of servants, Li Qin turned around and opened his mouth to ask:
"Sister, how's the situation with my brother-in-law? Why is there no trace of my brother-in-law until now?"
"I don't know, Your Majesty gave your brother-in-law a holy decree, asking him to go to the Ministry of Rites to find Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites! I didn't say exactly what it was......"
When Li Qin heard this, he also said to himself strangely: "At this time, what did Your Majesty ask your brother-in-law to do in the Ministry of Rites?" As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and shouted:
"I know, during the celebration, my brother-in-law left the team suddenly, which is not in line with the etiquette system, and if I don't do it well, I will be deprived of my fame. Master Li Xiaogong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes. When such a thing happened, he was furious, and he would definitely deprive his brother-in-law of his fame, and His Majesty gave the holy decree to let his brother-in-law go to Master Li, which must be about this matter. ”
When I think about it, it's really very likely. The last bit of worry in my heart was also put down, and I chuckled:
"If that's the case, that's great. Now that my father has returned safely, he has made such a great contribution; The husband also has a good reputation...... Today is a very painful day......"
Li Qin also took a long breath: "But isn't it, sister, you don't know, I was so anxious that my hair was almost gray outside the Zuiyue Building, so I wanted to go in and see my father quickly." But His Majesty didn't allow me to go in, so I almost couldn't help but curse......"
Xiaoxiao didn't listen, she was already waiting for her husband to come back. As a result, not long after, another subordinate came to report, and He Jin and Qin Yifeng came to visit together. Xiaoxiao knew that these two people must have heard the wind and came to visit Li Rusong's injury. Now that the head of the Li family is lying in bed, he can only let Li Qin come forward to pick up people and things. Xiaoxiao pushed Li Qin:
"What are you doing? Daddy is injured on the couch, why don't you go to meet your uncle and uncle? ”
Li Qin's eyes widened: "Why is it?" ”
"Isn't it who you are? Now that your father is injured, you are the only adult male in the family, if you don't go, do you want to go? ”
Li Qin was choked up, but reluctantly found that this was indeed the case. Once Daddy falls, the Li family will have to take the lead. Thinking of this, Li Qin complained to his parents for the first time in his life: Why don't you have more children? With such an idea, Li Qin hardened his head and rushed to the front hall to greet his uncle and uncle.
Xiao Xiao shook his head, looking at today's scene, if Daddy is really gone one day. The situation of the Li family may not even be able to catch up with the current Jiang family, no, we have to find a daughter-in-law for Brother Qin as soon as possible. I have free time another day, and I must discuss this matter with my mother. While planning like this, Xiao Xiao rushed to the kitchen and told the cook to prepare dinner. No matter how big things are, you have to eat, don't you......
When Jiang Zhixuan came out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, it was already dark. However, his mood was bright at this time, because he not only got the news that his father-in-law was safe, but also got the result of the past from Li Xiaogong. And three days later, the celebration of climbing the tower and visiting the park continued. Although Li Xiaogong and Master Li had a dark face, the news he revealed told Jiang Zhixuan in a real way:
Your business has passed like this, it is better to be the champion of your new department in peace and stability, what should you do in the past few days, wash up and continue to participate in public money consumption activities after three days......
For such a result, Jiang Zhixuan is already grateful. He knew how out of the ordinary it was to do such a thing during the celebration, and now His Majesty was not guilty of the past, nor did he deprive him of the fame he had so hard to pass through. And the father-in-law also turned the corner, and a tragedy disappeared invisibly. How could he be insincerely happy, out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites, there was a handyman leading a snow-white horse waiting for him there:
"Jiang Zhuangyuan, this is a small order handed over to you by Master Li. This place is still far away from Li's mansion, there are healthy horses to walk, Jiang Zhuangyuan can return home early, and he will not miss the meal! ”
Jiang Zhixuan asked strangely, "Which Lord Li?" Which Lee House? ”
The handyman smiled and said, "Lord Li is our Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the Li Mansion is the mansion of your father-in-law, Li Shaoyin......"
Jiang Zhixuan let out an 'oh', and casually touched his hand to reward a few big bucks. But sadly found that he couldn't touch a child at this time, because he had come to participate in the celebration today. The body is wearing a champion robe, since it is an official uniform, how can you put silver coins on your body, contaminated with copper stench?
Not only that, but after his top robes were torn to pieces by those royal guards, he didn't have time to change them. Fortunately, it was getting late at this time, and although there were many pedestrians on Suzaku Street and the East and West Cities, few people could recognize him. smiled apologetically at the handyman:
"Thank you, Lord Li, thank you, little brother......"
Then he took the horse from the handyman, turned over and climbed onto the horse, and fled without looking back under the disappointed gaze of the handyman. The handyman was very aggrieved in his heart: they all said that if they do things for the Jiang family, no matter how big or small, they will be rewarded, I thought that this Jiang Zhuangyuan would be rewarded for a lot of wine, why is there no reward today......
Jiang Zhixuan returned to his heart like an arrow, galloped on his horse, and finally arrived at the Li Mansion before dinner. Unexpectedly, at the gate of the Li Mansion, he happened to meet Li Qin to send He Jin and Qin Yifeng out, and hurriedly dismounted to meet him. After Qin Yifeng and He Jin learned about the emperor's disposition of Jiang Zhixuan, they were surprised that Jiang Zhixuan's holy scroll was heavy, and at the same time, they both breathed a sigh of relief, they were worried that the family would finally have a champion, so they were masturbated......
After sending the two elders away, Jiang Zhixuan asked puzzledly:
"Zihua, why don't you leave the two elders for dinner?"
Li Qin replied depressedly: "Didn't you say that I didn't keep it?" It's just that the two elders said that now that there is an undercurrent in the Jingshi, they want to avoid suspicion......"
Jiang Zhixuan was even more puzzled when he heard this: "The undercurrent is turbulent? What is the undercurrent at this time? ”
Li Qin let out a long sigh: "Alas...... Brother-in-law, you are a fan of the authorities. What do you think, the queen mother was assassinated in the Zuiyue Tower, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin was almost killed, if it weren't for you, the new champion, to hit the right one, your wife" >...... Well, that is, my old sister sacrificed herself to protect the Lord, maybe what the result will be! ”
"So what?" Jiang Zhixuan cooperated and asked:
"For such a big matter, Your Majesty is naturally very angry, and he will definitely investigate it to the end. And as far as Uncle Fang Cai said, even the news that is known now is enough to cause a huge storm! ”
"What do you already know?" Jiang Zhixuan was also moved.
"The six mountain assassins all entered Beijing from the Chongxuanmen in the west. The Northern Ya Forbidden Army, which guards the Chongxuanmen, is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today; And the Zuiyue Tower, where the assassins were hidden, is the owner behind the scenes, and it is His Royal Highness the King of Wei today......"
