[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

The joyful atmosphere of Li Yuan's ascension to the throne lasted for several months, but Jingzhou, not far from Chang'an, suddenly received an urgent report.Xue Ju, who had been defeated by Li Shimin, summoned troops to besiege Jingzhou this time. When the news came, Li Yuan hurriedly ordered Li Shimin to lead his troops to fight.

When Li Shimin was preparing for the battle, Yixin suddenly became uneasy. He vaguely remembered that Li Shimin was defeated by Xue Ju's men in this battle.At the beginning of the battle, due to Li Shimin's illness and Xue Ju's constant challenges, King Qin was beaten by Xue Ju and fled in a hurry.

Although in the following battles, Li Shimin defeated Xue Ju's son and avenged his defeat that year, but this battle still suffered heavy losses for the newly established Tang Dynasty.

However, with Xinxin's current status and identity, it is absolutely impossible to stop Li Shimin from going out to fight. Even his father Fang Xuanling has absolutely no reason to stop Li Shimin.

On this day, when Yi Xin followed Shi Lu to pay respects to the eldest grandson again, she found that there was a secret melancholy hidden between the brows of this always gentle and open-minded woman.

Even when Mrs. Lu was talking to her, she would occasionally be in a trance, which had never happened before.

Naturally, Lu Shi also sensed something was wrong, she asked softly: "Princess, but I am not feeling well. I have read some medical skills since I was a child, and I know some pathology. If the concubine does not give up, I can treat the concubine once or twice."

Mrs. Changsun shook her head when she heard the words, and smiled helplessly at Mrs. Lu: "I am fine. If I really want to say that I am sick, it is also a heart disease. You must have heard that Xue Ju invaded Jingzhou, and His Majesty sent the King of Qin to quell the chaos. However, in recent days, the seasons in Beijing and Central China are changing, and his body is also a little uncomfortable, with ups and downs. Moreover, Chengqian's first birthday ceremony is coming up. If he goes out at this time, he will definitely miss the auspicious day determined by Taishi Bureau's divination. "

When Lu Shi heard this, he also sighed in a low voice.The king of Qin was brave and good at fighting, and his reputation spread far and wide, but behind the brilliance, who knew how much pain Changsun, as the woman behind him, had swallowed alone.

Compared with Lu Shi, Xinxin thinks further.In this life, Li Chengqian was born early, and it happened that King Qin's expedition coincided with his first birthday ceremony.Although it was a coincidence in this life, it just showed that when Li Chengqian was growing up, his father was always fighting everywhere and rarely had time to accompany him.As for the Changsun family, after giving birth to several children one after another, as Li Chengqian got older, he put his mind on other children.

Like his mother, Li Chengqian also suffered from anxiety and loneliness, but after all, he was young and didn't know how to confide and adjust, which led to future tragedies.

Taking advantage of the time when the two adults were talking, Xin Xin walked to the side of the shaker.

Li Chengqian was originally opening his eyes, listening intently to the soft voice outside, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching, the witty little prince made a decisive decision: pretend to be asleep.

When Xin Xin approached the crib, what she saw was a child with her eyes closed.Xin Xin took a closer look, the small face carved in pink and jade had both the majesty of the father and the gentleness of the mother and concubine.

It's just that this sleeping appearance is a bit fake, the eyelids are trembling up and down, and the breathing is not even, one can tell it's fake.

Yixin pretended not to see it, just stood by the side of the shaker and stared at Li Chengqian, and even stretched out her hand as a prank, poking his face for a while, and pinching his nose for a while.

Li Chengqian pretended to be sleeping first, but now he was teased so angry that he just wanted to open his eyes, but he didn't want his nose to itch from Xinxin, and before he had time to react, he sneezed a little.

When he opened his eyes, Yixin found that his eyes were watery, as if he had been bullied so hard that he was about to cry.

Xin Xin hurriedly said: "It's my fault, I'm arguing with your son."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression softened a little, he sniffed, turned over and pointed his butt at Xinxin.

But I heard Xin Xin sigh softly: "Fortunately, I am still at an age where I can't remember anything. I only hope that the battle will be over soon and His Royal Highness King Qin will return as soon as possible."

Li Chengqian's little butt shrank, but he still didn't turn his head.

Like Xinxin, Li Chengqian also knew the outcome of the Battle of Jingzhou, which was the most tragic battle his father lost.Li Shimin, who also made great military exploits, was the last battle to mention. The eight founding ministers were captured. Li Shimin fled back to Chang'an with only two guards, and almost all of his troops were lost in the battle.

Although he didn't want to see Fang Yizhi, he had to admit that Fang Yizhi's words just pierced his heart.

While gently shaking the rocking bed, Yi Xin murmured to herself: "If His Majesty changes his mind, King Qin might not be able to go to war, but now that the country has been preliminarily determined, King Qin is brave, so he is the most suitable candidate in any way."

Li Chengqian had a different way of thinking about what he wanted to say.

As an elder, Li Yuan loved his grandson very much. Every time the eldest grandson brought him into the palace to meet His Majesty, he would get many rewards.What other people can't do, perhaps can be done by an ignorant child.

In order to prepare for Li Chengqian's first birthday ceremony, the entire Qin/Wang/Mansion was busy.Because Li Shimin's expedition is imminent, all the burdens are on Changsun's shoulders.

Soon, His Majesty's decree was transmitted to the palace, Princess Xuan and the son entered the palace and inquired about the relevant preparations in detail.He held the well-behaved and sensible Li Chengqian in his arms, and seeing him nestled in his arms obediently, his eyes were full of curiosity, but he was not afraid of admitting his new life, and he was even happier immediately.

"Chengqian is the son of the world. His first birthday gift cannot be sloppy. You have always been capable. Now that the people of the world are not here, you have to take care of everything. If there is any difficulty, you tell me, and I will definitely not treat you poorly." Wait for Chengqian." While coaxing Li Chengqian with great interest, Li Yuan asked the Changsun family.

Changsun looked at the emperor, silent for a long time, hesitant to speak.

Li Yuan teased Li Chengqian again, only to realize Changsun's abnormality, raised his eyebrows and said, "But what difficulties did you encounter?"

Changsun frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Although I am a woman, I also understand the principle that a man should kill the enemy and defend the country. It's just that this is Cheng Qian's first birthday ceremony after all, so I dare..."

Changsun's words were halfway through, but she couldn't continue. Seeing Li Yuan's face suddenly gloomy, she fell silent knowingly.

Li Yuan sighed, his face softened a lot, and he said slowly: "You have been married to the people of the world for quite a long time, and you should understand better than me that he was born to belong to the battlefield. I know, logically, he As Cheng Qian's biological father, the first birthday ceremony should indeed be kept. But the sudden incident, Xue Ju's rebellion was beyond the expectation of everyone including me. Shimin had fought against Xue Ju before, and he was more powerful than ordinary generals. Experience is also the most suitable candidate for this expedition. Over the years, you have always been quite knowledgeable. When Empress Mu was here, she always praised you well. Compared with the safety of the family and the country, the first birthday gift is more important. I believe that if you are as sensible as you are, you will understand."

Li Yuan's words, which were praised openly and reprimanded secretly, made Chang Sun's face turn red and turn pale, so he had no choice but to respond.

But in the end, Li Yuan turned his head and asked Li Chengqian in his arms half-jokingly: "Does Chengqian also think that the father should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and set an example for Chengqian?"

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian, who was nestled in Li Yuan's arms, suddenly cried loudly, and the sudden burst of crying blocked all Li Yuan's unspoken words.

Li Yuan panicked, and quickly asked: "What's the matter, but are you hungry?" Changsun was also startled, and just about to reach out to take his son, Li Chengqian hugged Li Yuan's arm desperately and did not let go, no matter what Changsun did To coax, even if the cries keep on, and they don't move their nests.

This time, Li Yuan felt even more distressed. Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to cry, Li Yuan realized that maybe it was the question just now that made Li Chengqian cry.

With this thought, I thought of the key point.Li Chengqian is just a child under one year old, and he has always been raised by his nanny and concubine mother. Li Yuan would not believe how much he cared about his father. What's more, Li Chengqian, who can't speak, is even more impossible to understand him. Just a long speech.

The problem, then, probably lies in the event itself.

Li Yuan himself believed in Taoism, and he had heard people say that in heavenly families, there would often be babies with the fate of a boy.The so-called boy's fate means that in the child's previous life, he was a boy under the fairy seat in the heaven. He carried a mission and was reincarnated as a mortal. If there is such a thing, such a child will cry and cry, in order to show that this is not feasible.

Seeing Li Chengqian's performance now, Li Yuan thought of giving it a try.

He coaxed patiently: "Chengqian thinks that the father is not allowed to go to war?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian's crying gradually became quieter, as if he was responding to Li Yuan's words.Not only Li Yuan, but even the Changsun family were quite surprised.

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, and sent an order: "Let the Taishi Bureau immediately go out and divination for King Qin."

Divination of good and bad fortune before the army set off is an ancient tradition of marching. This time, because of the sudden incident, the Taishi Bureau did not follow the usual divination.

The result of this divination was surprising. Tai Shiling was a relic of the Sui Dynasty, an old man with a white beard, and he replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the hexagrams show that the battle of the King of Qin is extremely difficult and dangerous. For... ...is a bad omen, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Li Yuan was shocked at this moment, he summoned the prime ministers Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji overnight to discuss countermeasures.The two were also surprised when they heard the hexagram.Divination is the instruction of the gods, and Jingzhou is located in the fortress of Longxi, so there is no room for loss. Under the balance of the two, although King Qin is brave and good at fighting, neither Li Yuan nor his subordinates dare to openly disobey the will of heaven.

In this way, the errand that was absolutely belonged to Li Shimin, now has nothing to do with King Qin.

Liu Wenjing saw that Li Yuan was frowning deeply, knowing that he was anxious, so she volunteered to fight.

As if destined by fate, on the third day after Liu Wenjing vowed to set off as a master, Li Shimin, who was good at fighting, fell ill in the capital Chang'an.Li Yuan was shocked when he heard the news, and while asking the imperial medical office to take good care of him, he also became more convinced of Li Chengqian's fate as a boy.
