Chapter Thirty-Six: King Qin Goes Hunting in the Mountains? Li Yuan's tolerance, let him go!
Chang'an, East Palace.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Two arrows are off the string and hit two targets.
One of them is in the middle of the heart, and the other is just a sideline.
"Fourth brother, in this archery, I am far inferior to you!"
Li Jiancheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile while putting away his bow and arrows,
"If you don't play, you can't beat you!"
"I'm afraid that only the second brother can compete with you."
Li Yuanji, the king of Qi beside him, pouted when he heard this.
"Li Shimin? That's all his archery skills! ”
He snorted coldly,
"There are many elements of boasting, and I don't believe what I say is the best of the three armies."
"It's really me, it's going to be me who wins!"
Li Jiancheng laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good! As a brother, I appreciate your self-confidence! ”
"Let's go, take a break."
When the two of them walked under the eaves, a maid brought an ice towel and a chilled watermelon.
"Speaking of which, the second brother somehow suddenly ran into the Qinling Mountains."
Li Jiancheng wiped his face and said casually,
"He also dragged his family with him, and all the 800 soldiers of the government were taken away, and I don't know what medicine he sold in his gourd."
Li Yuanji also sat down and took a bite of ice watermelon.
He chewed it twice and sneered:
"The 800 soldiers are not equipped with weapons and armor, and they are in a hurry."
"Eighty percent was frustrated, and went to Qinling to hunt and relax, after all, this time his father and emperor asked him to go to the domain, and he was not happy!"
Li Jiancheng bowed slightly.
"If he can give up, it would be good to be an idle prince who travels the mountains and rivers."
He whispered,
"If this can be done, it will save our brothers from fighting."
Li Jiancheng doesn't want to fight in his heart, he just wants to take over the throne safely and steadily, and be a king who keeps his success.
This is his positioning of himself.
"Freedom from fighting? I said, big brother, are you really going to let him go? ”
Li Yuanji sneered,
"But don't forget how he set you up this time."
"If you want me to say, we must not give up any opportunity to suppress Li Shimin! He should be beaten like a reservoir dog! ”
"Otherwise, as soon as he has a chance to breathe, he will definitely bite you back!"
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly.
"Don't say it so ugly......" he rebuked.
"Advice against words."
Li Yuanji shrugged his shoulders,
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Look at it, he won't stop for long, and he will definitely have a poisonous plan."
"Even if you ascend the throne and become the emperor smoothly at that time, believe it or not, as soon as your father dies, he will rebel against you?"
"Second brother, I know this person too well, he is such a person."
The words reduced Li Shimin to a vicious and greedy wolf.
"That's it! Let's not talk about that, let's talk about it later. ”
Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said,
"I actually want to know what my father meant by being in the court that day."
"If you want to talk about punishment, he only punished Tiance Mansion for a small part of joining the army, and he didn't investigate it at all."
"But if you want to say that there is no punishment, the sentence 'King Qin should be a vassal', I'm afraid it will make the second brother unable to sleep all night."
"You must know that the second brother has important positions in the imperial court such as Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling, if this is a domain, he will become the prince of Guangzhu, and he will be nothing......"
"His old man's thoughts...... It's unpredictable. ”
He stroked his chin with a tangled expression.
……
Tai Chi Palace, Sea Pool.
The weather is hot, and Li Yuan likes to take a boat on the lake to cool off.
On the deck, the two of them stood beside Li Yuan, bent down slightly, bowed their heads and remained silent.
"This person, I just can't help it."
Li Yuan stroked his fair skin and said distressedly,
"You see, after a while, it turns red."
"Two more days, I'm afraid it's going to be dark."
Pei Lin beside him hurriedly stepped forward to shield Li Yuan from the sun, and said:
"Your Majesty's dragon body is valuable, let's go into the cabin to rest."
Li Yuan smiled slightly.
"Pei Qing is the most considerate."
He complimented, and said to the cabin,
"Stop the boat, get three fishing rods, I want to compete with the two Aiqing fishing!"
At the sound of an order, the attendant in the cabin immediately sent three pairs of delicate fishing rods, as well as bait with a slightly fishy smell.
"Pei Qing, Xiao Qing, sit."
Li Yuan took the lead in occupying the best fishing position and said with a smile.
Pei Lin and Xiao Yu responded, and they both sat down with rods.
The three of them fished together on the top of the pool.
"I've been a little tired lately, and I've worked hard for you in the court."
Li Yuan yawned and said lazily,
"What's going on lately?"
As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan was actually very slack, but he didn't think so himself.
He believes that he has mastered the essence of Taoism's "rule by inaction", and his means are comparable to that of Emperor Wen of Han.
To govern the country, they don't have to do anything, as long as they use the right people, they will naturally do everything well.
You see, we have been doing this for a long time, and the territory of Datang is not increasing? Isn't the court running very well?
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is normal in the center, except for some disasters in the place, nothing important."
Xiao Yuyu reports,
"It's all droughts, banditry, and the like, and it's been ordered to be pacified."
Li Yuan bowed slightly.
"What's the matter with the inner court? King Qin...... Well. ”
After a pause, he asked,
"What has King Qin been doing lately?"
"Back to Your Majesty, King Qin left Chang'an a few days ago and entered the Qinling Mountains."
Pei Lin grabbed the words,
"The soldiers of Tiance Mansion were also taken away and entered the Qinling Mountains, not knowing what activities they were doing."
Li Yuan frowned, and the fishing rod in his hand shook slightly, scaring away the fish wandering next to the bait.
"The soldiers have all been taken away?"
He frowned,
"What are you doing?"
A trace of unhappiness rose in Li Yuan's heart.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin should just go hunting."
Xiao Yu hurriedly made up for it,
"His soldiers were not equipped with any armor or weapons, but only accompanied the King of Qin into the mountains for a safari."
"After all, the Qinling Mountains are vast, and there are fierce tigers and poisonous snakes entrenched, so we need to bring some talents to be safe."
After listening to this explanation, Li Yuan's brows relaxed.
"If you don't go to a good royal paddock, you have to go hunting in Qinling, it's really ......"
He chuckled,
"I don't know who this adventurous person is."
Seeing this, Pei Lin said with some hesitation:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin has gone into the mountains to hunt with such fanfare, I'm afraid it is a little overstep......"
Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, he was already waving his hand.
"That's it, I know he's not in a good mood, he's just hunting, let him go!"
He said casually,
"Young people, they just love to make trouble."
"It's not like me, I'm tired of hunting, and it's not as interesting to shoot a bow and arrows as fishing."
"For the superiors, you should fish more and take care of this calm qi kung fu, so that you can deal with changes without being alarmed......"
As he spoke, he shook his fishing rod, and a small fish was already hooked.
Li Yuan smiled brightly.
