I have a backstage in Datang

The man's expression became embarrassing.

Li Chongyi didn't give him any face, and said loudly: "In order to replenish his body, my teacher's wife directly sent out an army to hunt yellow sheep on the grassland. The Turkic people are so powerful. After hearing about it, they only dared to look at it from a distance, and even dared to look at it from afar. In order to show their favor, several tribes specially sent guides to help my teacher’s army hunt gazelle. Even if my teacher eats meat all at once, he will not become poor for 100 years. But why does he want to drink this boiled soup with skin? Porridge, just because he could only provide this kind of porridge to the refugees when he first arrived in Wuyang County. Then I would like to ask you, why are there so many refugees in Wuyang County? Tell me, tell me, you If you don't tell me today, don't blame me for beating you to death on the spot..."

The man was startled first, then his expression turned pale, and he subconsciously said, "You."

"You, your mother, you!"

Li Chongyi roared, and sternly shouted: "Don't think that I'm really easy to talk because I'm well-mannered now. The entire Li royal family knows that I, Li Chongyi, have been not a good person since I was a child. If you make me feel uncomfortable, I dare to put you kill."

The little guy suddenly looked at Li Shimin, pointed at the person just now, and said loudly: "Second Uncle Prince, how could there be such a person in your Tiance Mansion? It's really for the sake of seizing the imperial power, and you don't even care about good or evil. Is it true? If so, nephew, I look down on you. If it is true, then I don’t care about my status as the Li family. I heard from Master that you are about to ascend the throne and become emperor. I am afraid that the emperor who divides likes and dislikes will be passed on soon..."

The audience was stunned.

Everyone was sluggish.

The little guy's words can be said to be an act of courting death. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he even directly accused Li Shimin. You must know that Li Shimin is now the prince, and everyone knows that he will soon be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

However, now he is being questioned by a little guy pointing his nose.

This is no longer a fat issue.

This is obviously because the brain is not very good.

The Prince of Hejian obviously changed his face, the princess of Hejian over there was already pale, and the couple almost didn't even think about it, they were going to push Li Chongyi down to apologize, but at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly snorted coldly, Said: "Let him scold."

Let him scold?

Everyone stood there dumbfounded.

But Li Shimin turned around slowly, looked at the person just now with piercing eyes, suddenly smiled lightly, and said with deep meaning: "Back then, there were a lot of talents in the Tiance Mansion, and after the incident of Xuanwumen, I only look at it for the sake of your years of hard work." They were all generously given. At first, I thought that it would be time to change the benefits. You will be the foundation of the court in the future. I found out that some of you haven’t changed your mind. The common people died from eating porridge, so why don’t you want to drink this porridge…”

He paused while talking, his tone became obviously disappointed, and he said again: "Do you really think that Gu Tianya made you drink this kind of porridge? Don't you think about why he made this move? Earlier Cheng Chumo Blocking the way, that is indeed asking the heart. But Li Chongyi's level is not Gu Tianya's asking the heart at all. He is making you realize your responsibilities in time. He has raised expectations and demands for you. Unfortunately, no one understands his heart."

There was silence.

Everyone ponders.

But no one answered.

Li Shimin looked disappointed, raised his hair and let out a long sigh, and murmured: "Is there really no one willing? Is there really no one who understands his heart? Gu Tianya, you are very pitiful..."

At this time, someone finally responded.

But Qin Qiong suddenly came out of the crowd, snatched the big spoon from Li Chongyi's hand, raised his head and drank it, and then yelled, "It's so bitter porridge, it's as bitter as the life of ordinary people."

He also saw Cheng Yaojin and others walking out together, grabbing their spoons and scrambling to fill the soup, and then everyone drank it down, the bitter taste of the soup rushed into their throats.

Changsun Wuji sighed, and finally came out to take a sip of porridge, then bowed his hands to Li Shimin, and said solemnly: "Gu Tianya's real purpose is very simple, he wants us to work hard so that there is no such porridge in this world. This requirement , He shouldn't have mentioned it, because we are officials of Datang."

It should be the primary responsibility of an official to prevent the people of the world from bloating and dying.

Unfortunately, Gu Tianya had to make a request to them.

Li Shimin looked at the crowd, his tone became calm, and he said: "Those who have had porridge just now have an agreement with Gu Tianya, then, I hope you will stick to this agreement for the rest of your life."

He looked towards the north slowly, suddenly with a smile on his face, he murmured: "The first question is to ask you to repent. The second question is to make a request because those who repent should atone. This guy, this guy..."

He suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo, and then at Li Chongyi who had completed the task, and asked meaningfully, "Is there a third level?"

Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi looked at each other, and replied together: "Go ahead, there are still people blocking the way, don't blame us for talking ugly first, our junior sister is not easy to fool."

……

... two-in-one chapter released

Chapter 181 [There is always someone looking for death]

It was already night at this time, which should be about Xu time. If converted to the time unit of later generations, it would be about 7:[-] in the evening.

This time period is the time for dinner.

Due to the scarcity of food in ancient times, most of them had two meals a day. Only in busy farming seasons when they were physically exhausted, one meal was added occasionally. However, even ordinary people could not add meals occasionally. Wealthy households have the ability to add meals.

Except for the busy farming season, the rest are two meals.

The convoy drove for a day, and everyone was already hungry. It is said that it was time to eat, and they should stop to bury the pot for cooking, but for some reason, none of the people were in the mood to eat. with.

Everyone is waiting for Li Shimin to make a decision.

Is it to stop and camp for dinner?Or continue to rush forward and pass another level?

In fact, this question is very easy to choose, everyone knows how to choose!It’s okay to skip a meal, but the checkpoints set by Gu Tianya cannot be ignored. So many people came to Hebei to participate in the baptism during the full moon of the baby tiger. This is the best time to repair it. Few people willing to pass up this opportunity.

"Your Highness, continue to catch another journey." Someone solemnly suggested to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was not pretending deliberately, they obviously wanted to continue on their way, and wanted to pass Gu Tianya's checkpoint early.

This is a good sign.

Because anyone who wants to break through the level is willing to accept the next level. This is a manifestation of reformation, and it also recognizes the responsibilities that officials should shoulder. If all officials can do this, why worry about the Tang Dynasty? Are the people unhappy?

If the people are happy, who can shake the Li family.

Li Shimin was quite moved by Gu Tianya, he knew that it was the brother-in-law who helped him intentionally or unintentionally.

But Li Shimin did not directly make a decision, but looked at Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi again, pretending to be curious and asked: "Tell me, you two little ones, how many levels are there in total? If there is only one level, then you will be alone." Order to continue on the road, wait until everyone has passed the checkpoint, and then let the team choose a place to bury the pot for cooking..."

He paused for a while, and then said: "But if your master has set too many barriers, so that everyone can't break through even if they drive all night, then I will order you to camp now, and everyone will eat and drink. Rest here."

Li Chongyi hesitated for a moment, apparently not knowing whether he should disclose the arrangement of the master in advance.

Cheng Chumo didn't think too much, and said directly: "Your Highness, let everyone continue on their way."

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone already knew the answer. It must be that there are not many hurdles to come, and everyone can wait until they pass through before resting.

Li Shimin made a decision immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Then continue on your way and see Gu Tianya's next level."

With his order conveyed, the huge convoy set off again.

It's a pity that no one noticed. Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi glanced at each other quietly. The two little guys each rode a horse and followed the convoy not far away. Li Chongyi suddenly lowered his voice and said to Cheng Chumo: "You just Answer, clearly with temptation and coaxing, after they reach the third level, who will have the heart to eat tonight's meal?"

"I didn't intend to let them eat tonight's meal." Cheng Chumo sneered twice.

Li Chongyi sighed, and said: "Our master said that one must be kind."

Cheng Chu moaned, and said with a displeased face: "Master is kind enough, he didn't send them back directly. You don't need to talk about this, I, Cheng Chumo, must make them sick and want to eat, that's fine. I Anyway, I won't stop anyone, but I want to see who can eat tonight's meal."

Li Chongyi looked forward from a distance, and said thoughtfully with a small face: "I'm afraid most people won't be able to eat it."

"Then let these people allow to enter our master's door."

"But there must be a small group of people whose hearts are as hard as iron, and they will never care about the questioning of the third level."

"That's right, we've screened out the offal. Such people are not qualified to congratulate our little junior brother, so just send them back to Gunli River Road."

"You are seeking revenge for our master."

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up if you continue to babble."

"Okay, you are a senior brother, I will listen to you on this matter, but I also find these people unhappy."

The two little guys were whispering, but they didn't notice that someone was quietly following behind them. Suddenly they heard a few sneers from behind, the ears of the two little guys were twisted, and then they felt their bodies vacated again, and they were thrown from the horseback. picked up.

It was Cheng Yaojin who crossed Cheng Chumo's armpit, Li Xiaogong grabbed Li Chongyi's shoulder, surrounded by a group of generals from Tiance Mansion, with vaguely unkind eyes, Cheng Yaojin sneered directly, and asked forcefully: "Say, why can't we eat?" Go down to eat? What kind of checkpoint did your master set up to make you two little things think that we won't be able to eat?"

Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi glanced at each other, and the two little guys poked their necks together and said, "If you have a feeling, you can go and see for yourself."

"Your motherfucker!"

Cheng Yaojin scolded his son directly, and said with a grin: "I have nothing else, but I am better than others."

Li Xiaogong didn't scold his son, but just asked with a smile, and said threateningly: "Don't you want to say it?"

The two little guys were also stubborn, and continued to keep their necks shut.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly heard a voice, and said calmly: "There is no need to press the question, the checkpoint has appeared. Hehe, no wonder the two little things refused to reveal the secret. It turns out that this checkpoint is not guarded by one person. Judging from this posture, it should be the last checkpoint." ..."

Everyone quickly raised their heads and looked through the moonlight.

But on the official road in front, someone stopped there again, first a girl, standing quietly under the moon, and then saw a child, kneeling beside the official road.

There is a dense forest behind the child kneeling down. There are countless tombs on the edge of the dense forest. There is a large monument looming there, but because there is still a distance between them, everyone can't see whether there are words on the monument for a while.

Suddenly there was a faint sound of the qin coming from between the tombs. The tone was simple and full of vicissitudes. Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and they were covered in cold sweats. Because the atmosphere was too weird, playing the qin in the tomb at night was really scary. If it weren't for the large number of people in the team, some timid ones would have collapsed to the ground.

The sound of the piano was sobbing, and there was a sense of sadness in the vicissitudes of life. Suddenly, the girl danced under the moon and sang an ethereal and illusory song with a manly voice.

"It's not the punishment of heaven and earth for the people of today to be mourned by man-made disasters and famine.

There are many well-educated people in the motorcade. After listening to the song, Fang Xuanling immediately knew the source. Fang Xuanling sighed, and said in a difficult tone: "Ode to the elegance of the Book of Songs, this song is elegant. This song was originally lamenting the people's famine. It means that she suffered and died of starvation for years, but this girl changed some of the lyrics, she thought the natural disaster in the song should be a man-made disaster, although her singing is melodious and beautiful, it is actually like a knife that cuts out the heart."

Du Ruhui next to him nodded, and also sighed: "The man-made disaster she sang is obviously talking about us."

Li Shimin has always loved poetry, but his level is a two-handed knife, but he pretended to understand if he didn't understand, and he nodded and said sadly: "It's really a good song. It sang the rise and fall of the people."

Several civil servants looked at each other, and they all saw the dumbfounding in each other's eyes.After the girl in front changed the poem, she was clearly questioning and accusing everyone, talking about man-made disasters and how the rise and fall came about.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji's face was serious, and he followed Li Shimin's words: "Man-made disasters are also disasters, and the rise and fall of the people."

Everyone rolled their eyes at the same time, and said with contempt on their faces: "Old licking dog."

At this time, the singing was still coming gracefully, and the lyrics were changed again, the girl no longer danced lightly, but looked over at the moonlight, and sang: "The tyranny of the year came, and the villagers used it to levy, and the women and children carried it on their backs." Jingli, every family is crying, starving to death and fleeing the deserted road, and dead bones are everywhere. I want to ask the power grabbers, do you dare to hear the singing..."

Everyone looked at each other, their complexions slowly turning pale.

The girl's song presented a picture of refugees leaving their homes. It was not because of natural disasters, but because of man-made disasters. The cause of this man-made disaster was the sin they sat down in the first place.

If a person has done evil things, it is easy to lose the tension when they are poked in the center of the heart. Finally, someone couldn't bear it, and suddenly gritted his teeth and groaned angrily: "What is going on with Gu Tianya? We obviously want to change it. The first question is, A disciple was sent to mock us. The second level was cooking porridge, forcing everyone to drink the bitter and astringent soup. After these two levels, they were all blaming us for what happened at the beginning. It has been said since ancient times that one thing can be two But three, he has ridiculed us twice, and everyone respected us and chose to bear it. But now that she comes here, she makes another woman sing, is it endless? Will it make us feel uncomfortable for the rest of our lives? He Whether you understand it or not, we passed two barriers already means we want to change."

This person was hiding in the dark when he spoke, but he was still found. Cheng Chumo glanced at Li Chongyi, and said in a low voice, "Write this down first, he is not qualified to go to our master's house."

Li Chongyi did not refute this time, but solemnly nodded and said: "I have to write it down, and kill him slowly in the future. This kind of wolf-hearted thing, the first two tests are definitely pretending to repent."

The two little guys were furious secretly, but they didn't realize that Li Shimin was also looking at the speaker. Suddenly Li Shimin spoke slowly and said with deep meaning: "People who say they want to change never really change. I can't even listen to the first song, I feel like I've been poked in my heart, how can there be any regrets when I become angry? Gu finally understands why Gu Tianya wants his female apprentice to sing, he knows that some people won't change Well, he just wants to make this kind of person uncomfortable for the rest of his life, since that's the case, I'll help him as an uncle..."

Li Shimin paused at this point, and suddenly said with serious eyes: "Gu makes this kind of person uncomfortable right now."

He suddenly looked at the guards leading the convoy, and sternly shouted: "Find out the person who spoke just now, and send him back together with his family. This trip to Hebei is a congratulations. You can't bring a wolf-hearted person with you. "

A group of soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed into the convoy, and soon there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Fang Xuanling and the others looked embarrassed, looked at each other and sighed, "Shi Wanbao is finished."

Changsun Wuji looked back and saw seven or eight carts being driven away by the soldiers. One of them was a big man, as gray as the moonlight.

Chapter 182 [The questioning is finally over, but no one can bear it]

Changsun Wuji shook his head helplessly, and said: "Back then, in the Tiance Mansion, this person was considered a fierce general. According to his meritorious deeds, he could at least guarantee the longevity of his offspring for three generations. It's a pity, it's a pity, after the first big gain, he didn't know how to sober himself We have survived the days of fighting for big profits, and the next step is to be an official and benefit the people. How to benefit the people? You must first value the people in your heart. If you have harmed the people and do not regret it, such a mind is hard Stay in court for a long time."

Someone approached Changsun Wuji and said in a low voice: "These checkpoints set by Gu Tianya are not so much a questioning as a screening. For him, it is to screen out people who can be repaired. For our Highness, it is a selection." It is to select ministers who can rely on to govern the country, such a wonderful strategy that kills two birds with one stone, but he does not need to implement it himself, he only needs to send a few apprentices, and all goals have been achieved..."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and said enviously: "At present, he only accepts a few disciples."

……

At this time, Tan Xiao had finished singing the song, and the girl stood quietly under the moon and looked into the distance. She suddenly smiled sweetly, and her manner was indescribably elegant. It is counted as a gift of meeting. I am an unpopular apprentice in the school, and my master has always treated me as a villain on guard. He refuses to teach me knowledge, so I don’t have too much confusion, so I don’t like Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi asked everyone like that."

The girl paused for a while while talking, and then said: "But I have a little brother who is too young, and I can't ask everyone for a gift, so I only have a little song just now, which is counted as my little brother. What is the etiquette of asking questions from junior brother?"

Everyone was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at the child kneeling by the side of the road.

Most of the people were thinking about what the child's problem would be, but some people noticed Tan Xiao's tone just now. These people were all shrewd, and couldn't help but look at each other, and said in a low voice: "Did you hear that, There is quite an anomaly in this woman's words. When she called Cheng Chumo and Li Chongyi just now, she didn't respectfully call her brother. This woman doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't understand etiquette, so why does she directly address her brother in the door? name?"

Everyone looked at each other again, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes. When they looked at Tan Xiao again, their eyes were already a little more serious.

This girl cannot be regarded as an ordinary disciple.

When she mentioned Gu Tianya just now, she always had a relaxed and complaining tone.

Smart people can figure out why they dare to use that kind of tone.

Li Shimin glanced at Tan Xiao, and had a faint understanding in his heart. He suddenly waved to Tan Xiao, and said in a vigilant voice: "Remember, Princess Pingyang is Gu's younger sister."

What he said was quite meaningful, it sounded like a brother was giving a platform to his sister.Tan Xiao bowed his knees and bowed, and said leisurely: "So you are the new crown prince of Datang, my master said you will be a good emperor."

This question did not answer the question, but all the smart people present could hear the charm, obviously this woman was revealing her identity, she was clearly talking with an equal status.

As a disciple of the Gu family, she is not qualified to do so, but if the facts are strange, there must be a reason.
