Chapter 273: Poetry and Distance
Li Jiancheng was flustered, but Li Shimin was strolling leisurely.
It has been many days since he moved to Hongyi Palace, and he wants to see if there are any poems and paintings in this garden.
In the hearts of men, there must be love and hate, affection and righteousness, poetry and distance.
------
It's April, and the days are getting a lot longer.
After dinner, it didn't look like it was getting dark.
Li Shimin pulled Guanyin to take a turn in the garden behind.
When they arrived at the garden, the two walked slowly along the pebble-paved road to the northwest of the garden, where Li Shimin had never been.
------
The cobblestone road leads to the canal, where there is a small wooden bridge.
Walking to the bridge, Li Shimin and Guanyin stopped.
Standing at the water's edge and looking at the other side of the canal, there are old trees with withered branches and verdant canopies, which still maintain vitality.
There are 10,000 bamboos next to it, the roots are verdant and lush, straight and handsome.
-----
Under the shade of bamboo trees, a small courtyard is located in it, surrounded by fences, and the houses are earthen walls and green tiles.
There was a purple swallow murmuring under the eaves, and it suddenly flew up and wandered in front of the house, not slow or in a hurry.
The cobblestone road crosses the small bridge, extends to the front of the house, and extends around the courtyard to the back of the house.
The breeze is blowing, the bamboo is rustling, the water in the canal is wrinkled and rippling, and you can see the fish swimming slowly and carefree.
As the sun sets, a couple snuggles up to each other, standing at the head of the bridge, immersed in this leisurely and comfortable scenery.
------
Guanyin took Li Shimin's left arm, looked up at Li Shimin, and whispered softly, "Brother Shimin, it's enough for us to have such a small courtyard, why do you want this world?"
Li Shimin was silent, now he only wants such a small courtyard, but he can't. If there was no world, he would have nothing, and even such a small courtyard would not belong to him.
Nothing can be changed, the reality is as cruel as this, Li Shimin can't live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, someone will chase him to the cape and the end of the world.
------
Li Shimin sighed with emotion, it was originally a poem, a painting, a beautiful scenery, and the tenderness and sweetness of a couple, but a light sigh pulled the mood of the two back to the reality that could not be changed.
Guanyin saw that her words actually aroused Li Shimin's sorrow, and she couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in her heart. She blamed herself, "Auntie is really ignorant, and she makes Brother Shimin unhappy."
She looked at Li Shimin sweetly with a raised face, and asked with a smile, "Brother Shimin, do you blame Ah Mai for sweeping your Yaxing?"
------
Li Shimin looked at Guanyin's charming smile, stretched out his finger and scraped the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile, "I just like Ah Wan like this."
Guanyin's sweet smile dyed Li Shimin's heart, he grabbed Guanyin's little hand holding his arm, the mood was calm, the two slowly walked onto the small bridge, and walked towards the scenery on the other side.
------
For the next ten days, Li Shimin has been looking leisurely and complacent, as if there is nothing to do.
Every day I return to the apse of the vertical arch, either chatting with Guanyin or teasing the children.
One day in late April, Li Shimin came back from Taiji Palace with a strange smile on his face and a different look in his eyes.
------
Guanyin found that Li Shimin's expression was different from the past, and she thought in her heart that something extraordinary must have happened. She looked at Li Shimin curiously and asked, "What happened today?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and there was excitement on his face that couldn't be concealed, "Grandpa is angry today."
Guanyin taunted Li Shimin and said, "Grandpa is angry, but you are so happy, this is against filial piety. Tell me what's going on."
------
It turned out that since Li Jiancheng listened to Du Yan's secret report, he called Li Yuanji to the East Palace to discuss countermeasures.
Li Yuanji said to Li Jiancheng angrily, "I told my eldest brother a long time ago that this second brother is a bane, and I want to help you kill him, but the eldest brother won't let me. Looking at the current situation, he is going to be unfavorable to the eldest brother, and I think he should be killed cleanly."
Li Jiancheng stopped, "Erlang has been in battle for a long time, and his martial arts are strong, although the fourth brother's martial arts are also good, they may not be able to defeat him. How can you kill him alone?"
------
Li Yuanji also knew that he was invincible to Li Shimin, and insisted, "I can't kill him alone, so I will arrange a few more warriors and let them kill him."
Li Jiancheng poured cold water on Li Yuanji and said, "Where did you kill him? In the palace, we were alone with him, and there was no chance. When he left the palace, he had guards by his side, and when Wei Chi Jingde and Duan Zhixuan stood behind him, those eyes could kill, who were your opponents for the two of them?"
------
Li Yuanji saw that the assassination of Li Shimin could not be achieved, so he had to give up. He said stupidly, "What did the eldest brother say to do now?"
Li Jiancheng said, "Since he dares to privately recruit dead soldiers to enrich the army, we will also do it according to his method, if Grandpa asks, we will say that we will do it when we see Erlang do this."
Li Yuanji saw that there was no other better way, so he had to do what Li Jiancheng said.
In the next 10 or 20 days, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji arranged for their subordinates to recruit brave men in Chang'an and surrounding prefectures and counties.
------
Li Jiancheng recruited more than 2,000 people and stationed them in the Changlin Gate on the left and right of the south gate of the East Palace, known as the "Changlin Soldiers".
He also secretly sent the Marquis of Youyu to Youzhou to lead Dazhi, and transferred 300 cavalry from Li Yi, the king of Yan.
After these cavalry cavalry arrived in Chang'an, they were first scattered and placed in several miles on the east side of the palace, ready to be placed in the "Changlin Soldiers" after a period of time.
Li Yuanji also selected more than a thousand warriors among the guards and stationed them in the south courtyard of the Wude Hall and the arsenal courtyard next door to the east.
------
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's abnormal behavior was reported to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan couldn't help but be furious when he received the report.
On the morning of this day, Li Yuan summoned Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji to Wanchun Hall together, and said to the three of them with a serious expression, "I won't talk about military affairs today, Grandpa will talk to you about family affairs."
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji saw Li Yuan's serious expression, and thought that they must have let Li Yuan know about their private placement warriors, but the two of them were not afraid in their hearts, it was Li Shimin who acted first, and the two of them were ready to bite Li Shimin back.
------
Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng with a straight face, "Jiancheng, someone reported that you were a private warrior and privately transferred troops from Youzhou to Beijing, is this matter serious?"
Li Jiancheng defended, "Erchen heard that the second brother sent soldiers to enrich the army, and he also wanted to strengthen the guards of the East Palace, if Grandpa felt that it was inappropriate, Erchen would dismiss them."
------
Li Yuan heard that Li Jiancheng was biting Li Shimin, and struck the imperial case with his palm, and said angrily, "Shimin is responsible for guarding the capital and the palace, and it is his duty to adjust his subordinates, how can you compare with him? And you transferred 300 sudden cavalry into Beijing, which was a private transfer of the army. What is your intention in doing this?"
Li Jiancheng heard that Li Yuan didn't mean to blame Li Shimin, and he didn't dare to make any more strong arguments, so he said in a whisper, "Erchen knows that he is wrong, and I will arrange for them to be dismissed when I go back."
------
After reprimanding Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan turned to Li Yuanji again, "Yuanji, you transferred the guards into the palace, don't the palace guards work?" You brought them in, who do you want to guard against?"
Li Yuanji is arrogant and domineering in front of others, but he is very well-behaved in front of Li Yuan.
He bared his teeth at Li Yuan and smiled, "Erchen saw that the second brother had stationed the guards in the Qin Palace, thinking that I could do the same."
Li Yuan didn't blame Li Yuanji too much, and said calmly, "Hongyi Palace is outside the city, so naturally you have to arrange people to guard it, and if you live in the Wude Hall in the palace, there is no need for this."
Li Yuanji promised, "Erchen knows, and when I go back, I will arrange for them to go back to the Protector's Mansion to live."
------
In front of his three sons, it was inconvenient for Li Yuan to openly say that their brothers were not harmonious, so he didn't want to say more.
He finally confessed, "Jiancheng and Yuanji went back to do what you said, and Shimin arranged for the Criminal Department to inquire about Da Zhi's private transfer of the army, and after verifying it, he was sent to Shanzhou. Tomorrow you will accompany me to the Wude Hall to have a look, but I will see, where can I accommodate an army of one or two thousand people?"
Li Shimin promised to act according to Li Yuan's instructions, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji promised again and again on the surface, but in their hearts they hated it so much.
------
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji came out of Wanchun Hall together, all without saying a word.
After descending the steps, Li Shimin walked up to Li Jiancheng, he deliberately wanted to provoke Li Jiancheng, and said to him with a smile, "If the eldest brother feels that the defense of the East Palace is insufficient, the second brother is willing to transfer some manpower for you from other places."
Li Jiancheng sneered on his face and said disdainfully, "Don't bother with the second brother, the East Palace has the five mansions of the left and right guards, relatives, Xun, and Yi."
Li Shimin arched his hand to Li Jiancheng, "That's why I think too much."
After saying that, the three of them saluted each other and said goodbye, and then walked away.
------
Li Shimin went south out of Taiji Palace, turned to the Tiance General's Mansion, explained to Fang Xuanling and informed the Criminal Department, and after verifying the matter of Da Zhi's private transfer of the army, he took his entourage west through Anfu Gate out of the palace city, and went north to Fanglin Gate back to Hongyi Palace.
After listening to what happened, Guanyin said worriedly, "This can annoy the uncle and the fourth uncle, the rabbit will bite when it is anxious, and the brother of the people of the world should be careful everywhere in the future, so as not to disadvantage them."
------
At this time, Guanyin suddenly woke up and asked Li Shimin, "How did Brother Shimin come back?"
Li Shimin said, "I came back from Hong Lim Gate."
Guanyin asked, "Are there any guards?"
Li Shimin laughed and said, "I'm a big king, how can I go out alone."
Guanyin advised, "You can't be careless if you have guards, I won't dare to go out alone with you in the future."
------
Guanyin's worries are not unreasonable, Li Yuanji is already discussing with Li Jiancheng how to assassinate Li Shimin.
After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji went back, they were full of anger and arranged to dismiss the newly recruited warriors.
After Li Yuanji explained to his subordinates, he went to the East Palace to see Li Jiancheng.
He told Li Jiancheng, "Tomorrow, the second child will accompany Grandpa to the Wude Palace, and I am going to let the protector Yu Wenbao lead someone to kill him."
