light and shadow [entertainment circle]

The night was quiet.

Under the dim candlelight, I saw Li Shimin, the king of Qin, wearing plain clothes and embracing the blankets in his tent.His consciousness is not yet fully awake, and his expression is extremely weak, but his sharp blade-like eyes have already swept around fiercely, and he can discern the environment he is in in an instant.Obviously, although Li Shimin has been away from the barracks for many years, his instinct to detect danger and control the situation has long been integrated into his blood.

The camera followed Li Shimin's gaze and turned to the inside of the hall, but saw the white jade railings and golden dragon pillars in the hall. This is not the side hall where Li Shimin used to stay in the Forbidden Palace, but Li Yuan's sleeping hall.Li Shimin's eyebrows sank, but his tense muscles gradually relaxed.It turned out that Li Shimin was weak since he was a child, and it was common for his parents to accompany him in bed to take care of him due to illness when he was young.When he grows older, it is not uncommon for him to sleep with Li Yuan and talk about state affairs, but this dragon bed is different.

Li Yuan had a rough half of his life and became emperor at fifty, probably because he became a monk halfway through. He always attached great importance to the so-called "imperial power orthodoxy" and could not tolerate anyone's coveting.Since he became emperor, Li Shimin has only slept on this dragon bed once.It was in the fourth year of Wude, and Li Shimin was appointed General Tiance because of his meritorious service.That night, Li Yuan allowed him to stay overnight in Ganlu Hall, and the father and son slept together on the same bed to show their closeness.At that time Li Shimin's military exploits were as high as the sun, he thought that Li Yuan stayed with him to talk about how to go further, but Li Yuan coaxed and tricked him into taking away the fish talisman that he used to command the three armies.Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help lowering his head and laughing at himself.After a while, he pulled himself together and stood up with difficulty to get out of bed.

Unexpectedly, before Li Shimin's body moved a few inches, Li Yuan's surprised voice came in from the entrance of the hall. "Erlang, you've woken up!" Before he finished speaking, he strode forward and pushed Li Shimin back, complaining in his mouth. "Why did you get up? You are very sick, lie down quickly, and don't worry Dad."

Li Shimin shook his head and struggled to move away, his tone was even more difficult and hoarse. "My minister is already an adult, so it's inconvenient to stay in the Forbidden Palace..." However, just now he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. It was just when he was weak, how could he earn more than Li Yuan?

Seeing that Li Yuan held Li Shimin down, he turned around and ordered the servant. "Where is King Qin's medicine?"

"Thank you, saint." Seeing the servant serving the soup, Li Shimin hurriedly bowed his head in thanks and stretched out his hand to serve it.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan picked up the porcelain bowl before him, took a sip by himself, and then filled the soup with a spoon and brought it to his mouth. "Well, it's not bitter."

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help being startled again.In Li Shimin's memory, their Li family has always been a strict mother and a loving father. Li Yuan personally tasted medicine to coax him to drink. Li Yuan did it several times when Li Shimin was young.Now that the old dream is revisited, the father-son blind date in the past is only a mess.

Li Yuan didn't have so much emotion from Li Shimin. Seeing that Li Shimin was hesitant to take the medicine, he immediately joked, "Still afraid of suffering? Erlang, you..." He smiled and gave orders. "Go get the honey fruit, wait for King Qin to drink the medicine and give him Tiantianzui."

Li Shimin saw Li Yuan's warm and warm smile without any haze, but felt his hands and feet were cold, and even his own heart seemed to be immersed in a bottomless cold pool.He lowered his head and drank the medicine obediently. Instead of staying on the faces of the two actors, the camera took a close-up of the porcelain bowl in the middle.

On the 60-inch large screen, a drop of crystal water dropped into the bowl with a "tick" sound, followed by ripples and then gradually disappeared without a trace.

Then, the camera zooms out.There is silence in the palace, the light and shadow overlap, and the picture is slightly difficult to distinguish between reality and reality.The maids in the palace are all made of clay and wood sculptures, Li Shimin's tears are rushing down, and his expression is dull and silent.In the whole picture, only Li Yuan is alive. He smiles and recalls his intimate time with Li Shimin, while lovingly feeding his son medicine.

Li Shimin was ashamed and unable to cry, but Du Ming felt that Li Shimin's tears were so hot that her heart trembled.And the deep and soothing cello soundtrack, which bastard composed the music, how could it be so sensational and tearful?Even though he has already scolded himself countless times: You can watch TV and cry, what an idiot!But she choked up for a long time, and finally couldn't help crying: "It's better to give him a bowl of poison, poison him to death! He must drink it!"

Father Du didn't say anything about "political needs" this time, instead he frowned deeply and lit a cigarette.Du's father is introspecting, reflecting on his childishness and inadequacy.This scene made him see the difference between an ordinary person and a real emperor.For any modern person who understands Chinese history, it is easy to comment on the gains and losses of ancient and modern heroes.But this kind of "political correctness" and "wiseness and wisdom" are actually very superficial, and it is even easy to see people's burdens.Only when he was really on the scene did Du's father realize that: before, when he was slandering Li Yuan for giving Li Shimin too much power, he ignored Li Yuan's love for his beloved son as a father; However, when he couldn't bear Li Shimin's tears, he also couldn't talk and laugh like Li Yuan.Therefore, Li Yuan is the real emperor who can achieve supremacy.But Papa Du is just an ordinary member of the crowd, a talker who speaks nonsense relying on his little historical knowledge, a fool who mocks the thought of love but is at the mercy of love, a dwarf who acts like a giant of language.

Mother Du has always opposed Father Du smoking in front of her daughter, but now she can't hold back her tears, so how can she care about her husband?Even Grandma Du, who had been standing on Li Yuan, couldn't help beating the armrest of the sofa today with her heartbroken. "I'm so confused! It's too much! If he wants to be the prince, you can give it to him!"

Until the end of the scene, Li Shimin watched Li Yuan and wept silently, but he never uttered a word.As for Li Yuan, his gentle laughter was always just his one-man show.As a father, until the end, he dared not raise his head to look at his most beloved son.There is no need for lengthy narration to explain, and there is no need for Xia Zhi to explain in a nasty way or roar in collapse. Everyone understands: Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son will eventually break up, and the change of Xuanwumen is inevitable!

Li Shimin rested in the forbidden palace for one night, and returned to the palace the next day with a large pile of gold, silver, pearls and jade bestowed by Yu Li Yuan.At that time, Changsun was already waiting in the main hall.Lifting his eyes and touching Changsun's worried eyes looking at him, Li Shimin forced himself to move the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to Changsun Wuji and said word by word: "Zhao Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji came to the mansion to discuss matters!"

These people are all Li Shimin's confidantes, and they are the backbone of persuading Li Shimin to do extraordinary things.Therefore, when Changsun Wuji heard the names of these people, he felt awe-inspiring.Fortunately, his Qi-nourishing Kungfu has always come home, and after he bowed to Li Shimin and said yes to Li Shimin, he went down unhurriedly to deliver the order.

Changsun also guessed what was going to happen, and couldn't help but look at her husband worriedly.

Li Shimin ignored his wife, he sat alone behind the long desk with his eyes closed and meditated.

Mrs. Changsun bowed her head in thought for a moment, and soon brought Li Shimin a cup of hot tea.Then, she bowed softly and retreated in silence.

"Guanyin maidservant," Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her sideways at this moment.Under the flickering candlelight, his eyes were blurred like a dream, and at this moment, he was almost vulnerable. "History is like iron, in the future...how will the world evaluate me?"

Changsun's face is gentle and gentle, but his voice is cold like cutting ice and jade. "Your Highness, the history is endless, and the history books will only record the victors!"

At the end of the night, Fang Xuanling and others finally gathered in the Palace of Prince Qin.

Li Shimin looked around the crowd with a calm expression, and said slowly: "The mountain is at the end of the river, and life and death are at stake. Let's discuss how this king will succeed!" As he said, he raised his arm and pushed the long scroll that was placed on the case early in the morning. .At this time, the camera looked down from Li Shimin's shoulders, and the topographical layout of the entire capital city appeared in front of people with Li Shimin's effortless push.

"It's great!" Seeing Li Shimin push away the map cleanly, Du Ming instantly felt that the domineering and unparalleled little king of Qin had finally come back alive!In the chest, the dirty and gloomy qi that had been blocked for a long time also melted away.This is probably acting!Du Ming was blissfully exuding pink bubbles all over his body. He didn't need to deliberately change his military uniform to make the audience aware of the change of identity, he didn't need to lower his voice to show his majesty, he didn't even need to have brilliant lines to make noise. Push away a pair of maps... Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers can be overturned only in his palm!

This time, even Grandma Du, who has always been reserved, couldn't help but praise: "A little bit of arrogance, a thousand miles of wind! This kid is really good at playing handsome!"

The change of Xuanwu Gate, to be honest, the filming was lackluster.

Qin Wang Li Shimin is used to going through life and death for a long time. Compared with the life-and-death battles in Qianshuiyuan and Hulaoguan filmed in the first few episodes of "Kai Tang", the battle of Xuanwumen can't even be compared. It's called a "battle", but it's just a trivial "fight".

On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, Li Yuan summoned three brothers, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, into the palace.At sunrise, Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate to the west. Li Shimin and the ambush rushed out from Linhu Palace to break their retreat, and surrounded them under Xuanwu Gate.

Amidst the sound of fighting, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji watched Qin Wangjia soldiers surround them heavily, unable to react for a moment.Although the two of them had earned experience points on the battlefield, compared to the bloody battles Li Shimin fought in the country, their abilities were nothing more than gaining experience points when they were fighting with the wind.But when they were really facing a life-and-death struggle, the two could only look at each other, unable to come up with any countermeasures.After a while, Li Shimin, who has always been at the front, led several cavalry elite soldiers to attack them.

"His Royal Highness!" The horse galloped, and Li Shimin on the horse drew his bow and arrow with a blank expression.

Li Jiancheng with a pale complexion stuck out his hand from inside the frame and stared at him in fear. "Qin..."

However, he only had time to utter a single word before hearing a soft "swish", and the King Qin's divine arrow had already pierced his throat.

"Brother Prince!" Li Yuanji yelled out of his wits when he saw Li Jiancheng's death.He raised the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot Li Shimin, but for some reason, when he saw Li Shimin's expressionless face, his hands and feet trembled, and he couldn't draw the bow no matter what.

However, even though Li Yuanji's murderous intentions were already on the rise, Li Shimin was not in a hurry to kill him.He just looked at the other party indifferently. In his clear eyes, there was no love, and of course there would be no hatred. There was only one set goal that must be achieved step by step.

As if death.

Li Yuanji finally couldn't bear to continue to look at Li Shimin silently, he suddenly yelled and led his horse to flee.

"Respect!" Li Shimin shouted, and took the lead in chasing after him.

Yuchi Gong replied loudly, and Hu Xiao Qi also followed.

Li Shimin was not in a hurry to besiege and kill Li Yuanji.The cavalry led by Yu Chigong quickly overtook Li Shimin, shot Li Yuanji off the horse and surrounded them.After a while, Li Shimin drove his horse forward slowly and looked down at the other party.

Li Yuanji, who had fallen from the horse, half stood up and stared at Li Shimin resentfully, but the corner of his eye kept wandering on the ground, and soon landed on the arrow a few steps away.

There was a burst of armor slamming, and the soft sound of bright knives and bows.Apparently, the armored soldiers of Prince Qin's Mansion had seen through Li Yuanji's intentions.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin suddenly raised his right arm and made a stop gesture at this moment.Then, he looked at Li Yuanji leisurely, with amusement and encouragement in his eyes.

Li Yuanji knew that Li Shimin was deliberately giving him a chance.In this dense forest, the two brothers competed in archery in a dignified manner.It is ridiculous to say this matter, everyone in the world knows that the king of Qin has a great shot, but very few people know that Li Yuanji's archery is far superior to Li Shimin's.For many years, Li Yuanji has always been conceited and proud of this, thinking that Li Shimin's achievement of fame is just a hero made by the times, and he just lost a chance.Until today, until this moment, Li Yuanji, who had always been Li Shimin's comrade-in-arms, finally realized how terrible and hopeless it is to be his enemy!His muscles tensed and froze for a while, but he didn't dare turn over to pick up the bow and arrow on the ground.In the end, the right knee that supported most of his body swayed slightly, and Li Yuanji knelt down on the ground, shaking like chaff. "Li...Li...King Qin..."

Li Shimin shook his head in disappointment, turned his horse's head and left without saying a word.

Behind him, the iron tower-like Yuchi Gong leaped off his horse and strode forward, with a knife in his hand!

Li Yuan in the Forbidden Palace was boating on the sea, not knowing what great changes had taken place outside the Xuanwu Gate, until he saw Yu Chigong in full armor and holding a spear. "What happened? What are you doing here?"

Yu Chigong saluted with a spear crossed in his hand, and replied stiffly: "The crown prince and the king of Qi have caused rebellion, and His Highness the King of Qin has already punished him. His Highness is afraid of disturbing the saint, so he specially ordered the humble officials to come and guard him."

"What did you say?!" Yu Chigong's two short sentences had already caused Li Yuan's liver and gallbladder to be torn apart, his complexion suddenly flushed and then suddenly turned pale.He pointed a finger at Yu Chigong and staggered to his feet, his eyes protruding and bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead and neck bulging terribly.A moment later, he suddenly pounced on Yu Chigong and grabbed him by the iron collar. "Who did King Qin kill? Who died?! Who!!!"

Yuchi Gong never expected that Li Yuan, who was over [-] years old, would have such agility, and he was caught out if he didn't check for a while.Xu Shi was afraid of the majesty of the emperor, and Xu Shi could not bear the pain of losing his second son. Yu Chigong didn't break free from Li Yuan immediately.He hesitated for a moment, then said loudly: "King Qin has conquered the universe and led the land to his heart. Please ask the sage to make King Qin the crown prince, and the country will be safe!"

"You...you..." Yu Chigong spoke so clearly, how could Li Yuan not understand why?The matter has come to this point, if he follows Li Shimin and makes him the crown prince, then everyone will live in peace; if not, today will be a national funeral!Li Yuan stared at Yu Chi Gong angrily for a long time, then suddenly slapped him across the face, then pushed him away and laughed wildly. "Where is King Qin? Let King Qin come to see me! Let him come to see me in person!"

As a complete loser, Li Yuan's laughter was wild and hoarse, very piercing.But when the close-up shot landed on Li Yuan's face, and a cloudy old tear gradually disappeared on Li Yuan's face full of grooves, even Du Ming felt deeply pitiful.Brothers fighting against each other, brothers killing each other, making the white-haired one give away the black-haired one, there is nothing more tragic than this in the world.

After a while, Li Shimin, also in full armor, arrived in person surrounded by armored soldiers from the Qin Palace.

The father and son met each other's eyes, and the whole hall was strangely quiet.Compared with the resentment, fury, pain, and disbelief in Li Yuan's eyes, Li Shimin's eyes were extremely calm.In the end, the old Li Yuan couldn't bear such a stare. He moved his eyes lightly, and immediately saw the blood splattered on Li Shimin's armor.Li Yuan's eyes shrank suddenly as if being pricked by a needle, and the next moment, he fell back to his seat. "You killed your elder brother and fourth younger brother?" His voice was hoarse, making it unbearable to hear.

Li Shimin stepped forward, and with a "plop", he knelt heavily at Li Yuan's feet.Behind him, everyone knelt down.It was at this time that he knelt down.

Li Shimin straightened his back but lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "Prince and King Qi are in trouble, and I have punished them all."

Li Yuan's eyes were dull and he turned a deaf ear, and asked again. "You killed your elder brother and fourth younger brother?"

Li Shimin didn't make a sound at first.After a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked straight at Li Yuan fearlessly, and answered firmly, "Yes!" At that moment, his eyes were as bright as stars, as hot as fire, and as magnanimous as the sky.

"Ah!" Grandma Du sighed at this moment, "He did something wrong, but he... no, yes, wrong!"

Du Ming half-understood, and didn't bother to ask questions for a while, just staring at the TV firmly.

I saw Li Yuan slumped in the chair with his face up, tears rolling down his face.After a long time, he said shyly, "I'm getting old... The Great Tang Dynasty will be entrusted to you... This is my long-cherished wish."

"The sage is wise! The sage is wise!" Behind Li Shimin, everyone shouted in unison.

"...Daddy..." Li Shimin suddenly called Li Yuan in a very low voice at this moment.This sound was childish and helpless, just like when Li Shimin was young.

Li Yuan's body trembled slightly, obviously he heard it, but he never looked down at Li Shimin again.

The author has something to say:

Li Yuanji: My archery is more accurate than yours!

Li Shimin: Tsk!Compete?

Li Yuanji: You are so boring!

Li Shimin: ...
