Chapter 257: August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival

The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Chu Mofeng captured Du Wengan and returned to Chang'an, Li Shimin pretended to be assassinated and released smoke, killing night, Taiji Palace, the candlelight shone out the charm and ghost, and the sword light and sword shadow swayed with blood, which led to the August 15 Chu Mofeng traveling with the United States, and Li Shimin was guilty of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Following Li Shimin out of the Taiji Palace, the two came all the way to the imperial study in the apse, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Shimin running quickly to the bookshelf, taking out two porcelain bottles from behind and throwing them to Chu Mofeng, and then raised his head and poured a mouthful, and then stopped his body and gasped.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng on the side opened the porcelain vase with a smile and took a sip on himself, "Your Majesty, haven't you experienced this kind of scene for a long time?"

"When we were in Xuanwumen, I wasn't so nervous. Li Shimin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Mo Feng, why did you say that these people have become like this now? I remember that when the rebellion was quelled, everyone shared the same hatred for each other, and now it is ......."

"Some people have been at ease for too long, and their inner thoughts have begun to change. Looking at Li Shimin, who was sad, Chu Mofeng slowly shook his head and said, "As long as Your Majesty still doesn't forget his original intention, as for those killings, they will all be done by his ministers." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and patted Chu Mofeng's shoulder, and said solemnly: "The only thing I am pleased with is that Datang has you, and I have you by my side." ”

"The courtier brother dared to beg His Majesty to let the courtier rest for some time, and the courtier brother was also a little tired this year. Slowly sitting on the chair beside him, Chu Mofeng instantly showed a little tiredness.

Suddenly remembered the guy in front of him, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, every year has been busy, and even when he married Dou Jingyan, he was in a hurry to get married and set off again, and these years have been working day and night, after he succeeded to the throne, this guy has set off again since the New Year, at this time, looking at Chu Mofeng who was exhausted in front of him, Li Shimin also had boundless guilt in his heart.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will allow you not to go to the court for a month, and you don't have to ask about the affairs of the court, are you satisfied?" Li Shimin looked at Chu Mofeng and smiled a little funny.

Looking at the other party's somewhat smiling face, Chu Mofeng took another sip of wine and said, "Your Majesty, the younger brother has something to remind you, it is estimated that you won't be able to laugh after the younger brother finishes speaking." ”

Looking at Chu Mofeng with a mysterious face, Li Shimin's heart jumped, as if he remembered something, and then looked at Chu Mofeng with a vigilant face and said, "What's the matter?

I saw Chu Mofeng leaning back on the chair and said slowly: "Your Majesty, how do you inform Your Majesty the Empress about the matter of the eldest grandson Anye?"

"This ...... This thing ......" Referring to the eldest grandson of Luo, Li Shimin was suddenly speechless, since the Sui Dynasty has been by his side for ten years, so many years with him to go around, whenever he goes on the expedition, he always packs his bags for himself in obscurity, and has always supported himself and his family without regrets, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, he did his best to raise his children without asking for anything in return, and when he was the queen, he did not interfere in politics, refused to appoint family members, and took care of the harem wholeheartedly, whether it was a wife, a mother or a mother of a country, the eldest grandson Luo's actions made Li Shimin impeccable。

This time, he sentenced the eldest grandson Anye to exile without informing the eldest grandson in advance, although Li Shimin was very happy at that moment, but the fact was mentioned by Chu Mofeng at this time, and there was a sense of remorse in his heart, perhaps because he didn't know how to explain it to her.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes looked at Chu Mofeng like a pleading, "I don't know what good plan my brother has?"

I saw Chu Mofeng stand up and walk towards the door of the imperial study, and when he opened the door, he said faintly: "Your Majesty only needs to inform the queen of all the causes and consequences of the matter, with her brother's knowledge of Her Majesty the queen for so many years, she is definitely the kind of person who is very sober in the face of right and wrong." Then Chu Mofeng left the imperial study and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Riding his horse all the way back to the house, Chu Mofeng first came to Dou Jingyan's house, and whispered a few words in the other party's ear, the latter's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said with a red face: "Isn't this okay?

I saw Chu Mofeng smile weirdly, and then whispered to Dou Jingyan: "This king is still hoping that you can give birth to a little lord for this king." ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Vice General Dou, who was once heroic, suddenly covered his face with his hands and said in the shape of a little daughter: "Then the concubine will follow His Royal Highness." ”

Chu Mofeng couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and then he didn't care about Dou Jingyan, who was full of shyness, turned around and left her room, and walked towards Shi Hanshuang's room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Hanshuang lying on the couch a little lazily, and when he saw Chu Mofeng coming in, he hurriedly got up to say hello, and then ordered Mu Mu to serve tea, "Why did Your Highness have time to come here today?"

"Go and go, call Your Highness in front of outsiders, there are only you and me and Mu Mu here, don't do those vulgar manners, I still like to listen to what you called me before. Sitting on the chair and tasting the slightly aromatic tea, Chu Mofeng looked at the lady in front of him who was the first to follow him, and his heart couldn't help but warm, as the daughter of the former general, since the day she followed her, she has worked tirelessly before and after the saddle, and her official is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things she needs to worry about. reconciled the contradictions between the provinces, and what he could give her seemed to be only material compensation, in order to cooperate with his plan, he reluctantly sent his daughter to Emei and continued to follow the old path.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng took Shi Hanshuang into his arms, and said with a slight apology in his tone: "Shuang'er, you have been in charge of the mansion all these years, I am very relieved, you have worked hard all these years." ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness and the princess were ready to be affectionate, Mu Mu, who was serving on the side, slowly retreated towards the direction of the gate, thinking that Shi Hanshuang would be moved by his words, but who knew that the other party frowned, and then looked at Chu Mofeng vigilantly and said: "As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, let's talk about it, what did you do that is not easy to explain?"

On this side, Shi Hanshuang interrogated Chu Mofeng in the Xianwang Mansion, and on the other side, in the harem, the eldest grandson of the queen of a country, was teaching the palace maids to embroider at the moment, seeing that Her Majesty the Queen was embroidering in a pattern, and the little palace maids studying on the side showed a look of envy and admiration in their eyes, and at this moment, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Hearing that Li Shimin was coming, the eldest grandson Luo Luo slowly put down the work in his hand, and after tidying up his clothes, he got up and came to the door with a group of palace maids, only to see Li Shimin walking forward accompanied by Wang De, and the eldest grandson Luo saw this and immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Shimin and said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, I don't know how Your Majesty came to the concubine today?"

Walking forward to help the eldest grandson Luo up, Li Shimin said with a calm smile: "The queen doesn't have to make this big gift, I have dealt with some things with King Xian today, and I will come here to see if I think of the queen, and the queen should not think that I am abrupt." ”

Looking at Li Shimin's flickering eyes, the eldest grandson Luo, who was as careful as a hair, instantly understood that Li Shimin suddenly came here today, and he must have something to say to himself, and then the eldest grandson Luo waved his hand to the people behind him and said, "After serving the tea and pastries, all the people should retreat." ”

Then the eldest grandson Luo Luo pulled Li Shimin into the house, and after everyone retreated, the eldest grandson Luo Luo handed the teacup in front of him to Li Shimin, and then copied Fang Cai's work and said: "The concubine knows that Your Majesty must have something to say to the concubine, but it doesn't hurt Your Majesty to talk about it." ”

"A few days ago, I found that Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An County, had lived in Beijing for a long time and had not returned to the station, so I ordered King Xian to investigate, but after some investigation, I found that the king of Nghe An County colluded with officials in Beijing and wanted to assassinate me. Seeing this, Li Shimin said slowly, observing the expression of the eldest grandson from time to time.

Hearing that someone was going to assassinate Li Shimin, the eldest grandson immediately exclaimed, then looked at Li Shimin with concern and said, "Is Your Majesty all right? Why are there such evil people, and why do they do such evil?"

I saw Li Shimin wave his hand and said: "Don't panic the queen, fortunately, there is King Xian, everything has been dealt with, and the thieves have already surrendered to the law, these people are Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County, Liu Deyu, the general of the right military guard, Yuan Hongshan, the commander of the army, Du Wengan, the governor of Huazhou, and Sun Anye, the general of the right prison guard." ”

After hearing the words 'Changsun Anye, the general of the right prison guard', the embroidery needle that was originally flying up and down suddenly pierced the finger of the eldest grandson, and in an instant, a drop of blood slowly overflowed, only to see the eldest grandson Luo Luo glanced at Li Shimin in a daze, and then got up and knelt down and said: " Your Majesty forgives the sin, the concubine's family has been so disloyal and unfilial, and I hope that Your Majesty will remove all the concubines from their official positions in order to set an example, as for Brother Anye, no matter how His Majesty disposes of him, the concubine has no complaints, and the concubine's family can have today's glory, all of which was given by the Emperor and His Majesty, and this time such a bad thing happened, the concubine was really ashamed. After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kept hiding his face and crying.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's heart was sour, and he immediately picked up the eldest grandson, took him into his arms, and whispered: "The queen doesn't have to be like this, I have sentenced the rest of the people to be decided, only the eldest grandson Anye, I see the face of the virtuous queen, and sentence him to exile, after all, he is also my family." ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Luo Luo knew that the other party was saving face for the eldest grandson family he represented, so he immediately fell into Li Shimin's arms and cried loudly. Seeing this, Li Shimin could only pat her on the back and comfort her from time to time.

In the Xianwang Mansion, Shi Hanshuang looked at Chu Mofeng coldly and said, "Are you going to marry another room?"

Hearing Shi Hanshuang say this, Chu Mofeng smiled helplessly, and then leaned on the table and said to Shi Hanshuang: "I said Frost Woman, have you looked at me like this all these years? ”

Mu Mu, who was about to slip away but was kept by Shi Hanshuang, looked at his Royal Highness with a helpless look at this moment, and turned his head with a smile, but his shoulders that shrugged from time to time revealed his state.

Seeing this scene, Shi Hanshuang asked with a little puzzlement: "Then what's wrong with you?" You are not in the mansion normally, and suddenly when you heard you say this, you couldn't help but think about it. ”

"My stupid daughter-in-law, people just want to come to see you, and by the way, I am disappointed that you think of others so badly. Lying on the table helplessly, Chu Mofeng didn't want to get up and explain too much, he would be like this in his wife's heart, a feeling of wanting to cry without tears instantly came to his heart, and then Chu Mofeng stood up and said solemnly to Shi Hanshuang: "Your Majesty has granted me permission not to go to court for a month, and I don't have to ask about state affairs, so I plan to take Jingyan out for a trip, you know some things." ”

"Let's go, before leaving, find Ziyao to withdraw some money from the account room, and strive to let Jingyan also conceive an heir when she comes back. As the saying goes, husband and wife are of the same heart, as a wife who has followed Chu Mofeng for many years, Chu Mofeng said vaguely, Shi Hanshuang knew his intentions, and then said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am going to Emei in a few days, and the annual Emei competition is about to start again, the master and her old man informed me to go back to watch the ceremony, and I heard that Sister Qingli will also go back." ”

"Have you arranged the affairs of the mansion when you leave?" Hearing that Shi Hanshuang was going back to Emei, Chu Mofeng remembered that if Shi Hanshuang was not there, the remaining few people in the mansion would really not be able to handle the affairs.

Who knew that Shi Hanshuang said with a smile: "Then you don't have to worry, Zi Yao is going to Dongdu to participate in a medical festival in the future, Feiyan and they decided to accompany Zi Yao, as for Feng'er and Ling'er, the two of them have already taken Mengzhu to Danyang." ”

At the mention of Danyang, the delicate figure appeared in Chu Mofeng's eyes again, and he immediately changed the topic with a sourness in his heart, "So it's only me and Jingyan?"

"Well, so this time you take Jingyan Haosheng out for a tour, and the concubine won't accompany you. Shi Hanshuang showed an expression that you only knew when he heard this, and then smiled at Chu Mofeng, "Our Highness has to work hard this time, and strive to add new ones to the mansion." ”

Chu Mofeng's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Shi Hanshuang, and went straight back to his room. After cleaning up briefly, Chu Mofeng wiped all his weapons and armor, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare the soup for bathing, and then sat down at the desk, slowly unfolded a piece of paper, dipped the pen in ink and muttered for a while, and then slowly wrote something.

After the ink dried, Chu Mofeng neatly folded the paper and placed it in a cloth bag on the bookshelf behind him. Then the next person came to report, saying that the bath water was ready, Chu Mofeng immediately ordered someone to move the bath barrel into the house, slowly soaking in the water, looking at the mist in front of him, Chu Mofeng had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Now the Tang Dynasty is still in the process of preparing for war, but some of the new policies implemented by Li Shimin are not smooth, and there are quite complaints in some places, but these things have not reached the heavens, and they have only learned through the intelligence collected by the wanderers, if you want to maintain internal stability, so as to assist in future foreign wars, the most important thing at the moment is to implement the new policy smoothly.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng let out a long sigh, submerged himself in the water, and slowly floated up in a moment. After wiping off the water stains on his body, Chu Mofeng changed into dry clothes and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

On the second day, outside King Xian's mansion, looking at Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan, who were sitting on horses in front of them and ready to go, Shi Hanshuang and others smiled one after another, "My sister has traveled with His Royal Highness this time, and His Royal Highness depends on his sister in his daily life." ”

Hearing this, Dou Jingyan saluted everyone and said, "Sisters, please rest assured, Jingyan will definitely take care of His Highness." ”

Then Chu Mofeng waved his hand to everyone, and then clamped the horse's belly with his legs and drove towards the direction of Chunming Gate, while Dou Jingyan raised the horse whip in her hand and urged the horse under her crotch to follow closely behind.

After the two left, Shi Hanshuang said to Mo Ziyao: "I'm going to go to Emei tomorrow, I don't know when my sister will leave?"

"So that my sister knows that my sister is also going to go to the Eastern Capital tomorrow, and when she comes back, she will definitely bring some objects from the Eastern Capital for her sister to enjoy. Hearing this, Mo Ziyao saluted Shi Hanshuang and said, "Sister has a long way to go, and I hope my sister will pay more attention to safety." ”

Shi Hanshuang nodded when he heard this, and then pulled Mo Ziyao towards the mansion.

On the occasion of today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in an orderly manner, and on the execution table outside the noon gate, a group of prisoners wearing uniforms are kneeling on the stage expressionlessly at this moment, just waiting for the hour to be beheaded.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the supervisor gave an order, and all the offenders who interfered with the incident were stabbed and fell, and in an instant, blood was splashed outside the noon gate. In a beautiful singing and dancing performance in the palace, the moon viewing banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival slowly kicked off.

In a mansion in a certain neighborhood in the city, a middle-aged man was sitting in the study, and the person in front of him said angrily: "This Li Shimin is really indifferent and ruthless, in previous years, the banquet would invite me to participate, but this year's moon viewing party didn't even notify me, I was really angry." ”

I saw a young novice sitting opposite this person, holding the wine jar in one hand and half an elbow in the other, and said with a greasy mouth: "Don't be angry, this Li Er is the unkind person, otherwise he won't expel all of us cultivators." ”

I saw the middle-aged man say coldly: "I don't know how far the things prepared by the little master have progressed?"

"Don't worry, you're going to surprise those two people. I saw that the little novice said with a little disdain in his eyes: "This kind of trivial matter still does not need to be bothered by the boss, the little monk will definitely prepare this matter, and it will definitely cause an uproar at that time." ”

"It's the official who is a little impatient, as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of the well rope, and this time I must not be able to make a mistake again. Looking at the little novice with a confident expression on his face, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh and said, "He can afford to wait, but the old man can't afford to wait." ”

I saw the little novice looking at the two bewitching women beside him and said, "I don't know how the two girls are prepared? ”

After listening to the words of the little novice, I saw one of the women smiling charmingly at the little novice, "The little master should not get involved in our sisters' affairs, and he will definitely not live up to the boss's entrustment." ”

Looking at the two women in front of him, the middle-aged man had a look of a hungry ghost in his eyes, and then smiled evilly and said, "These days, the two of you will live in the house temporarily, and everything will be taken care of." ”

Knowing the meaning in the man's eyes, the two women immediately bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Then it's all up to the boss." ”

After leaving the Chunming Gate of Chang'an City, Chu Mofeng and Dou Jingyan rode their horses slowly and leisurely towards the north, "Your Highness, where is the destination of our trip?"

"Let's go all the way and see all the way, but all the state capitals that pass by, let's settle down. Hearing this, Chu Mofeng turned his head and smiled at Dou Jingyan and said, "After all, we are out to play this time, so there is no need to be in a hurry." It's just that this title needs to be changed, let's call it a folk name, you call me husband, I call you lady, so as not to be guessed by others about our identity. ”

Who knew that Dou Jingyan looked at Chu Mofeng and couldn't help pouting, your old man is carrying those two broken iron rods, anyone who sees it at first sight can guess who you are, there is really no need to change the title or not, thinking of this, Dou Jingyan nodded and said: "Then the slave family remembers, if the husband has any needs, please inform the slave family." ”

And just at the time of the beheading at the noon gate, outside the Jinguang Gate of Chang'an, Changsun Anye, the former right guard general who was shackled, raised his head and took a final look at the majestic Chang'an City, sighed helplessly, and under the urging of the officer in charge of escorting, he reluctantly left Chang'an City and embarked on the road of exile.

The eldest grandson Anye, who was accustomed to the life of wine pond meat and forest brocade clothes and jade food, was dressed in prison clothes at this moment, stepped on a pair of ordinary boots, and walked forward step by step, and the messenger who was in charge of escorting on the side saw this, and couldn't help but shout and scolded: "Do you think you are the right prison guard general? Walk at your speed, what year and month will you be able to arrive? Why don't you hurry up and go faster?" As soon as the words fell, a whip was drawn on the back of the eldest grandson Anye, just listen. There was a snap, and then a hot pain surged all over the body from behind, and the eldest grandson Anye, who was in pain, screamed.

After a few lashes in quick succession, one of the officers who seemed to be the leader stopped his companion and said, "Forget it, let's speed up, there seems to be a tea stall in front of us, let's go and rest for a while." ”

Hearing this, several messengers nodded, and then drove the eldest grandson Anye towards the tea stall in front. After coming to the tea stall, he ordered a pot of tea and some food, and a group of messengers tied the eldest grandson Wuji to a pillar on the side, and then ate and drank by himself.
