The book continues from the above, saying that the Tang Dynasty has been in the seventh year of Wude since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the successive battles of the Li family and sons, especially Li Shimin, the Central Plains finally restored peace, and the people gradually came out of the devastation of the war, and continued to work hard day after day and year after year.

After the end of the war, Chu Mofeng ignored everyone's opposition, resolutely resigned from the two positions of the military department and the hussar general, and promised that if the court used troops against the Turks in the future, Chu Mofeng would lead the army to fight again.

Knowing that his husband finally didn't have to go on the expedition, Shi Hanshuang and the others were overjoyed, the children were already five years old, looking at the bouncing figures in front of them, Chu Mofeng, who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, couldn't help but show a knowing smile.

At this time, a little girl with two pigtails came running from a distance, came to Chu Mofeng, grabbed his arm and shook it, and said, "Father, when did you promise to give me a short sword and let me learn martial arts from my mother?"

"I said Chu Ninghan, why do you always think about learning martial arts from the eldest lady every day?" When Chu Ninghan was coquettish to Chu Mofeng, a crisp voice came from behind him and said: "Isn't it good to learn medical skills every day, female celebrities and the like?"

Chu Ninghan didn't have to look back, he knew that it was his sister Chu Yuetong when he heard the voice, and then pouted and said, "People don't want you to care, anyway, my father has already promised me, right?"

Seeing that the two were gradually about to quarrel, Chu Mofeng hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Ning Han, in a while, my father is going to take you back to Zhangye with me, and then let your aunt Qingli pick you a better short sword and give it to you, okay?" As for Yuetong, your Aunt Rakshasa has always had an ancient classic in her hand, and your mother didn't ask for it for a long time, so it's up to you this time. ”

Chu Yuetong, who was originally angry, was instantly attracted when she heard that there was an ancient recipe classic, and hurriedly nodded vigorously and said, "Father, don't worry, my daughter will definitely be able to ask for this classic." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, stretched out his hand and shouted to the two figures who were still playing in the distance: "Chu Xuanhuang, Chu Mengzhu, come here." ”

The two excited children who were playing heard their father's call, and hurriedly ran over, looking at the four children of the same age in front of them, Chu Mofeng asked with a smile: "You are five years old this year, tell me what you will do when you grow up, right?"

"Father, people want to be like their mothers, to be a heroine who fights swords. "Don't ask, this is Chu Ninghan.

"People want to hang pots like mothers to help the world, cure diseases and save people. "Listen to the voice and know that it is Chu Yuetong.

I saw that the only little boy among the four said in a milky voice: "Father, the child wants to read more poetry and books, so that he can become an official in the court in the future, and be a good official who is loved by the people like his father." Looking at this little boy, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Chu Xuanhuang, your idea is different from that of your sisters?"

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense, the day before yesterday, the master of the school asked him to memorize the beginning of the Analects, and he couldn't even remember ten words. At this time, the little girl beside Chu Xuanhuang pouted and said, "Father, my brother and sister say that everyone wants to learn, and when they grow up, they want to be a head catcher who punishes evil and promotes good." ”

Suddenly hearing his youngest daughter Chu Mengzhu say this, Chu Mofeng's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking that this was the first time he had heard of this goddess catch, and it seemed that his children had big hearts.

"Since you all have your own ideas, let's teach you a few rules for my father today, which can be regarded as a lesson for you. Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng stood up and said to the four children: " First, no matter what you do in the future, the four of you brothers and sisters will always be a family, and only when a family works together is the most powerful, which is like leading troops to fight for your father, unity is the first; second, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first, you must be filial to your mother, and you must also be filial to your aunts; third, don't say anything if you are not completely sure when you are outside, even if you are confident, you must pretend to know nothing, after all, people outside have everything; finally, before doing things, you must learn to be a man, and you must be worthy of your heart, worthy of heaven and earth。 ”

The four children listened to their father's words, and they all showed thoughtful expressions, while Chu Mofeng turned around and walked towards the main hall, but he didn't know that today's impromptu teaching had a profound impact on the four children in the future.

That night, after some clouds and rain, Shi Hanshuang lay in Chu Mofeng's arm and said softly: "What did you say to Ning Han's girl today? After this girl came back, she was quietly reading in the house, and she didn't go out to play crazy. ”

"It's nothing, maybe the children are sensible. Chu Mofeng looked at the wife in his arms, remembering that the two of them had gone through so many hardships to have such a comfortable life now, and then said with a smile: "If there is no major event in the capital after a while, I want our family to go back to Zhangye together and visit Aunt Qinglian by the way, do you say okay?"

"Cheng, you can arrange the time, it has been a long time since I visited the master and her old man. Hearing Chu Mofeng mention his master, Shi Hanshuang thought of the situation of studying art in Emei back then, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, time flies so fast in a flash, in a blink of an eye, the children are all five years old, and those of us who are mothers are old." ”

The hand in the quilt wiped a handful on Shi Hanshuang's chest dishonestly, and Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "What are you old? You are only twenty-seven this year, where are you old?" was suddenly attacked by his husband, Shi Hanshuang immediately shrank into Chu Mofeng's arms, and then whispered: "As long as you don't dislike me, you say that if you don't get old, you won't be old." ”

On the second day, Chu Mofeng came to the Chengqian Hall where Li Shimin lived, first went to visit the eldest grandson Luo, and then came to the study with Li Shimin, and after the servant served tea and pastries and retreated, Li Shimin suddenly sighed and said: "Hey, your grandfather is idle, and as soon as the power is handed over to the world, it will make me miserable." ”

"Bitter fart, your stupid big brother has also begun to participate in the government now, as for Li Yuanji's waste or idleness every day, what are you tired of? Looking at Li Shimin, who sighed for a long time, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this guy is really suitable to describe himself as a lonely person now.

Who knows that Li Shimin whispered: "Don't you know, since my father began to let my eldest brother participate in court politics, I haven't asked about the affairs of the court for a long time, and my father's main energy now is even if it is in the harem, I have also had many younger brothers and sisters over the years, and the eldest brother and fourth brother often bribe those concubines with money, in order to blow the wind in my father's ears." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin took out a fold and threw it in front of Chu Mofeng, and said angrily: "Look, this is my excerpt a few days ago, in order to replace the Tiance Army with a new war horse, who knows that it was rejected by my father on the grounds that there is no war in the world at the moment. I know that this is because the eldest brother and the fourth brother are afraid of the troops in my hands, so they came up with such a plan. ”

After opening the fold and looking at it, Chu Mofeng casually threw the fold in the brazier in front of him, and said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Isn't it just a thousand war horses? I will come to you in a few days, and I will go out of the city to pick up the goods, and the old man will not change it for you, I will change it for you." ”

When the two were talking, someone suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that Du Ruhui of Tiance Mansion had come to report the situation, and Li Shimin hurriedly asked Du Ruhui to bring in when he heard the words.

After entering the study, Du Ruhui found that Qi Guogong was also in the house, and hurriedly bowed his hand to say goodbye, Chu Mofeng saluted him back, but suddenly found that Du Ruhui had a wound on his face, and the little finger of his right hand was still bandaged, and then stepped forward and asked sharply: "Where did Du Zhi's injuries come from? Could it be that he quarreled with his wife at home?"

I saw Du Ruhui laugh bitterly, then shook his head and said: "Grandpa Qiyuguo, don't ask about this matter, Quan Dang has fallen on his heels." ”

Seeing that Du Ruhui deliberately avoided it, Chu Mofeng became more and more curious in his heart, and then shouted: "Du Zhi, the Duke of China orders you to answer my question immediately, otherwise don't blame the Duke of China for not giving His Royal Highness King Qin." ”

After years of fighting and killing, walking in the sea of corpses and blood, Chu Mofeng had already accumulated too much murderous energy on his body, and at this time, he suddenly became mad at Du Ruhui, and suddenly frightened Du Ruhui into a tremble, and in desperation, he had no choice but to tell Chu Mofeng what had happened.

It turned out that a few days ago, Du Ruhui was in a hurry to return to the base camp of the Qin Wangfu in Luoyang to deal with a matter, riding a horse through the mansion of Yin Defei's father Yin Arat, because his daughter is His Majesty's favorite concubine, Yin Arat, accustomed to being flamboyant and domineering, saw Du Ruhui riding a horse, so he ordered the maid to drag him off the horse, and asked arrogantly: "Who are you, dare not get off the horse in front of my house!"

Du Ruhui was worried about the affairs of Luoyang in his heart, thinking that these were nothing more than some imperial relatives and relatives, and he didn't want to have a dispute with them, so he got up and was about to get on the horse and leave, but was beaten by Yin Arat's housekeepers. Ben has been repairing in Luoyang for a while, if he didn't have to come to Chengqiandian to report to Li Shimin today, Du Ruhui would have seen Li Shimin after his injury recovered.

Listening to Du Ruhui's words, Chu Mofeng turned his head to look at Li Shimin, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "You said that I have been too idle recently, this finally has something to do." After speaking, he patted Du Ruhui on the shoulder and said, "You are here to report the matter to His Royal Highness King Qin, and this tone is given to you by the father." After speaking, he laughed and left the Chengqian Palace.

Looking at Chu Mofeng's departing figure, Li Shimin said with a smile: "These so-called royal relatives are really becoming more and more arrogant now, and it is estimated that only this kid can rectify these people." ”

After leaving the palace, Chu Mofeng thought for a moment and went back to the house first, but when Chu Mofeng returned to the palace to prepare, Yin Arat asked Yin Defei to complain to Li Yuan, saying that it was Du Ruhui, an official of the Qin Palace, who bullied Yin Arat, and then Li Yuan sent someone to send Li Shimin to come to question, Li Shimin repeatedly defended, but Li Yuan was very fond of Concubine Yin De and reprimanded Li Shimin.

On the second day, in the Shengye Workshop on the west side of Xingqing Palace, a man in ordinary clothes led a snow-white horse to walk in the workshop, the people who passed by saw this horse and stopped to watch, and more knowledgeable people have already recognized that this horse is the jade lion of the night, because the princes and nobles who live here are the majority, many people have come forward to talk with the man, and offer a high price to buy this jade lion of the night.

Everyone who stepped forward to talk was politely rejected by the man, including some evil slaves in the palace, seeing that the man was just alone, he wanted to step forward and forcibly seize the horse, but he was whispered by the man and left instantly.

The news reached Yin Defei's father, Yin Arat, at that moment, Yin Arat's eyes rolled and whispered to the servant, and then the servant turned around and left with someone, and the man led the horse to walk slowly in the workshop, stopping from time to time to rest, and unconsciously about to walk to the door of Yin Arat's mansion. Coincidentally, his horse did not excrete all the way, but when he arrived at the middle of the gate of Yin Arat's mansion, the horse suddenly let out a long fart, and then only heard a 'poof', and a piece of horse dung hung on the ground.

The man was astonished at this, and was about to walk briskly, but he was stopped by several men dressed as domestic servants, and the first one said viciously: "You blind thing, do you know whose mansion this is? ”

Looking at the few fierce people in front of him, the man couldn't help but take a few steps back, and said in horror: "How much does that little one have to lose?"

"Five thousand is fine. I saw that the man in charge stretched out a palm, gestured in front of the man's eyes, and then said, "Lose money quickly, or I will arrest you to the yamen." ”

"Don't be, the villain only arrived in the capital from the west today, where do you have five thousand guan in your hand, you don't even sell the villain and it's not worth so much." As soon as he heard that he was going to pay 5,000 yuan, the man suddenly sat on the ground, and kept telling the people in front of him: "Can a few people do it well, I don't know the rules when the villain first arrives, spare the villain this time, and the villain will clean up those filthy things." ”

Hearing that this person was from other places, these evil slaves became even more arrogant, and then said nonsense: "It's cheaper for you to pay 5,000 yuan, do you know, this is the mansion of the reign of the emperor, because there is aura here, the daughter of the ruler can enter the palace and be favored by His Majesty, this aura is now stained by your filthy things, how much do you say to pay?"

"This, the villain really doesn't know, a few of them are okay. There really isn't 5,000 on the villain. When the man heard this, he panicked and kept saying good things in order to get out.

I saw that the man in the lead rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since you don't have any money, then take something to pay, I don't embarrass you, just the horse behind you." ”

Hearing that the other party wanted his own horse, the man shouted in shock: "This can't be done, this is easy for the villain to feed, I just want to come to the capital to sell it for a good price, you can't take it." ”

When the evil slaves heard this, they all gathered around, one of them snatched the reins from the man's hand, and the other stretched out his hand to push the man to the ground, and turned around to lead the horse away, who knew that when the man fell to the ground, a pure gold brand fell out of his arms, and the man at the head saw this and quickly stepped forward to pick up the sign and checked it, and said viciously: "You dirt bun, you still have such a big gold medal hidden in your hand, and you have taken it to pay off the debt." After speaking, the group led the horse and walked into the mansion with a smile.

The onlookers on the side couldn't help but feel sorry for the man when they saw this, and it generally didn't end well if they provoked Yin Arat, and it was good that the man was not beaten, but the man moved a stone from the side of the road and sat down, looking directly at Yin Arat's mansion, everyone thought that the man was going to sit here, and shook their heads and left.

Several evil slaves led the horse back to the mansion with the gold medal, and when they saw Yin Arat, who told him what had happened, Yin Arat, happily patted the man's shoulder and said, "Good job, quickly bring that gold medal to the lord and show me." ”

After the evil slave handed over the gold medal, Yin Arat took it and looked at it, and when he saw the 'Imperial Gold Medal' engraved on the back, he came in person. After these eight big words, he hurriedly threw the gold medal on the ground and asked tremblingly, "Are you sure it's this gold medal?"

The evil slave replied inexplicably: "Back to the master, it was from that dirt bun that I snatched it." As soon as the words fell, I saw a huge slap in my eyes that quickly expanded, and then there was a sharp pain on my face, only to hear Yin Arat's frightened shout: "You brute, you have caused me a lot of trouble, what about that young man?"

"Master, how do you know this little one, I guess it's gone. The beaten slave covered his face and looked aggrieved and asked, "Isn't it just a dirt bun?

"Wrong? You're not doing something wrong, you're looking for death. Looking at the evil slave in front of him, Yin Arat shouted angrily: "You brute took something that shouldn't be taken, it's over, maybe the lord and I will suffer." ”

After saying that, Yin Arat, who didn't even put on his clothes, quickly ran out, and came to the door of the mansion, only to see a young man sitting opposite the gate, looking straight at his door, Yin Arat, seeing this, hurriedly ran up, and said respectfully to this person: "This lord, Fang is the evil slave in the mansion who doesn't know your identity and collided with you, please look at the face of the daughter who is His Majesty's concubine, can you raise your noble hand?"

Seeing this, the man stood up, dusted off his body and said, "Are you Yin Arat? Your daughter is Concubine Yin De?"

As soon as he heard that this person knew his origin, Yin Arat's heart was overjoyed, thinking that the man wanted to make peace because of his daughter's identity, so he couldn't help but straighten up, looked at the man with some arrogance and said: "Since you know the identity of my daughter, then this matter is over, and the brand will be returned to you. ”

I thought that the man would agree, but who knew that the next words suddenly made Yin Arat's eyes fall into an ice cellar, "Our majesty, maybe you don't know yet, whether it is in the court or in private, I will never sell his face, I can't get over this matter today, have you figured out how to die?" I saw that the man looked calm and breezy, and he was not afraid of Concubine Yin's identity at all.

Seeing this, Yin Arat's attitude suddenly changed, and he said viciously: "Since you don't eat and drink in a toast, then don't blame me for being rude." After speaking, he said to the evil slave who was following him: "Go, call Jin Wuwei, I suspect that this person is a spy sent by the Turks, first arrest him and try it." ”

At the sound of an order, the evil slave immediately ran to call people, and the man said with a smile: "Do you want to call the Tiance army in the camp? Those people hate the Turks to the core." ”

Hearing the man's own proposal, Yin Arat immediately called a domestic servant and said, "Go, call a few more people from the Tiance Army, arrest this person and torture them first." When the servant heard this, he turned away and called for someone.

At this time, Yin Arat's voice had already alarmed the surrounding neighbors, and everyone came out to watch, and some people in the crowd who recognized the man were secretly snickering on the side, thinking that this Yin Arat's was going to be mentioned on the iron plate.

After a while, Jin Wuwei and the Tiance army arrived one after another, only to see ten Tiance soldiers fully armed in front of the two, Yin Arat, seeing this, pointed at the man and shouted: "This person is a Turkic spy, you quickly arrest him." ”

Hearing this, the Tiance army on the side hurriedly stepped forward with his weapon and was about to stretch out his hand to grab someone, but saw the man raise his head and said with a smile: "A group of people with the word 'weak' flag, I haven't been there for a long time, isn't it been very idle recently, and it is your turn to take care of the arrest of people in the city, so get back to me." ”

When the first Tiance army saw this person, he was taken aback, and was about to open his mouth to shout, but was stopped by a look from the man, and then turned to the other nine companions and said: "Let's go, the matter of arresting people is not our business, and the marshal may have to go to check in a few days, let's go back to training." After saying that, he quickly left with his men.

Seeing that the man had repelled the Tiance army with a word, Yin Arat turned to Jin Wuwei on the side and said, "If they don't arrest you, hurry up and arrest people in the prison and torture them." When Jin Wuwei heard this, he stepped forward and was about to speak, when he saw the man's face, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Grandpa Guo, why are you? Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Hearing that Jin Wuwei called this person the grandfather of the country, Yin Ah Rat shouted angrily: "Are you people mistaken, how can this person be the grandfather of the country?"

I saw that Jin Wuwei, who was the leader, said to Yin Arat: "This person is the former Shangshu of the Military Department, the hussar general, the founder of the Tiance Army, the son-in-law of His Majesty, Chu Mofeng, the Duke of Qi. ”

Hearing such a long list of names, Yin Arat suddenly sat down on the ground in fright, not for anything else, just because Concubine Yin Defei had warned herself when she returned to Ning that in this Chang'an City, anyone she provoked could be settled, but only the Duke of Qi Guogong could not be even, once this person was mad, even His Majesty had to give this person some face, and he never thought that he would be provoked today.

And the evil slaves behind him, many of them have heard of Chu Mofeng's prestige, decisive in killing, strong in martial arts, murderous like hemp, ruthless, thinking of this one after another, they have already sat on the ground with their crotches soaked.

At this time, Chu Mofeng sighed and said to the Jin Wuwei: "I see that a few of you were not taught by me when I was the head of the forbidden army, how can you do it if you are so angry, forget it, let's all withdraw, I have to go to Jing Zhaoyin in a while, and ask Li Shimin, that bastard boy, why did Jing Zhaoyin's prison start to torture to extract confessions." ”

Seeing this, several Jin Wuwei knew that this master was playing the game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger again, and then he hugged his fist at Chu Mofeng and retreated, and at this time, the onlookers knew the identity of the man, and they all looked at Yin Arat like a joke.

At this time, Yin Arat, who was already trembling and speechless, saw Chu Mofeng stretch out his hand to him and said, "I just said that even if it is Your Majesty, sometimes I am not used to giving him face, so, what about my horse and waist card?"

Seeing this, Yin Arat hurriedly ordered someone to take out the jade lion that shines on the night, and then respectfully presented the waist card, originally thought that the matter was over, but who knew that Chu Mofeng suddenly said: "Go and find me a thick wooden stick." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd handed over a wooden stick as thick as a child's arm, only to see Chu Mofeng holding it in his hand, and said to Yin Arat: "Come and turn around, it doesn't hurt." ”

Yin Arat turned around tremblingly, and when he was about to speak, he only felt an indescribable sharp pain coming out of his buttocks, and before the pain disappeared, there was another burst, one after another, blood gradually oozed from the clothes on Yin Arat's buttocks, and Yin Arat's fainted because he couldn't bear it.

Throwing the wooden stick aside, Chu Mofeng turned to the onlookers and said: "Today is just a small punishment for him, don't think that if you are a relative of the emperor, you can do whatever you want without telling Your Majesty, if someone is known like him, the end will definitely be worse than him, you must know that the prince of my country does not need to go to war now." After speaking, he turned over and got on the jade lion of the night and walked towards the outside of Shengye Fang.

The matter then spread to Concubine Yin De in the palace, and learned that her father was arrogant enough to provoke Chu Mofeng, Concubine Yin De was also helpless, this person's position in His Majesty's heart is not something that a concubine can shake.

On the evening of May 30 in the seventh year of Wude. Chang'an Qianyuan Palace. Emperor Li Yuan held a family banquet with his three sons. The crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji sat on the left side of Li Yuan, and the king of Qin, Li Shimin, sat on the right side of Li Yuan.

Jiancheng and Yuanji exchanged ears, and Shimin sat alone. When everyone raised their glasses together, their movements were a little stiff, not as comfortable as usual. Li Yuan sighed softly, looking at his sons, his mood was quite complicated. He wanted to persuade the brothers to care for each other and get rid of suspicions, but he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while.

Li Yuan knew that the reason for their discord was obvious: they were secretly fighting over who would inherit his father's throne in the future - how could such a sensitive topic be openly discussed?

Looking at the three sons in front of him, Li Yuan didn't know what to say for a while, and Li Shimin, who was sitting alone on the side, only then did he understand Chu Mofeng's original words, his eldest brother and fourth brother were indeed on guard against themselves, although the eldest brother only knew how to drink and hunt, and when he first went to the battlefield, he fell to the ground on horseback. He is so jealous of my prestige, but without my merits, how can there be a world of the Tang Dynasty?

As for the fourth brother, he is simply one less evil, how many people were killed in Jinyang, and he should have been abolished as a commoner, but his father doted on him too much, and instead of punishing him, he let him follow me to pick up some military exploits, and since then he has become a victorious general, and he has become arrogant again.

Looking at the two people talking and laughing opposite, Li Shimin also had a sense of vigilance in his heart......

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of the well rope, and seeing Li Shimin's change of mentality, Chu Mofeng formed a wanderer, wanting to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition......
