[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

Fang Yiai rubbed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep under Xin Xin's persuasion.

After everything was arranged by Xinxin, the morning light outside the window was already dim, and he was inexplicably a little apprehensive.This day is obviously Xiu Mu's day, but he still has a heart.

No one knows what Li Chengqian's fate is.

But when Li Chengqian woke up again, he felt the familiar breath of his mother and concubine.Like a small animal, he rubbed his cheek against Changsun's hand.Changsun said with a light smile: "It's time for Chengqian to get up. Today, after entering the palace, Chengqian just stays obediently. Don't make trouble, you know?"

Li Chengqian nodded obediently, and yawned towards the sky.After tossing and tossing for nearly a whole night last night, I don't know if Fang Yizhi's injury is any better.

He let the nanny dress him up, and after a while, Changsun said with a smile: "Chengqian is so beautiful." Then he picked him up and let him step on the palace stool to look at himself in the mirror.

Li Chengqian didn't pay much attention to the nanny talking about fairy children going down to earth.He just reached out and patted his face, trying to make himself look more energetic.

When everything was ready, Li Shimin also came to Chengqian Palace.He hugged Li Chengqian up, immediately frowned and said, "Why is it so light, is Chengqian picky again?"

Li Chengqian just played with Li Shimin's hat on his own.Li Shimin was very patient with this only child, he said softly to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, remember, no matter who you meet today, just do your own thing, everything depends on your father."

Li Chengqian's body trembled, how long had he heard Li Shimin's words.

I remember that when he was first established as the prince, Li Shimin, who had just ascended to the great treasure, led Li Chengqian, who had just become the prince, to stand on the high platform of the Xiande Hall in the East Palace, pointing to the open square in front of him and said: "Chengqian, you are the prince. , whatever you want to do, just do it boldly, I will be there for everything.”

I don't know when it started, Li Shimin gradually stopped saying this sentence, since Li Tai became sensible, or since Li Zhi was born?

Li Chengqian was engrossed in his thoughts, but Li Shimin thought he was nervous, held his hand to comfort him and said, "If someone asks a question, answer as soon as you know how to answer, and if you don't know how to answer, just relax. Take it easy." As he spoke, he hugged Li Chengqian Out of the palace gate.

In the Taiji Hall, the ritual arrangement has been fully prepared, and only when Yuan Tiangang and the Taoist priests from Xuandu Temple are in place, the fasting ceremony can begin.

After Li Yuan took his seat, Yuan Tiangang led a group of Taoist priests to salute Li Yuan in the way of a monk.After Li Yuan nodded, he saw that the Taoist priests following Yuan Tiangang consciously divided into left and right groups and stood upright.Yuan Tiangang was wearing a golden silk Taoist robe, holding a magic weapon, swaying rhythmically, chanting words.

He said a sentence, and all the Taoist priests followed him, as if they were responding to him.Strangely, although others could not understand what they were saying, they all felt that the atmosphere at the scene was particularly harmonious, as if they were in a world created by them with a balance of yin and yang.

The incense in the altar has been half burned, and the smell of fireworks in the hall is very strong.Li Chengqian was choked by the smoke, and his eyes couldn't help the water gleam, he simply closed his eyes, and fell asleep in the sound of chanting sutras in a daze.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that all eyes were on him.Li Chengqian's mind was a little dazed, he vaguely remembered that before he fell asleep, he was still doing things in the hall, but now all the utensils have been removed.

Li Shimin coughed slightly in embarrassment, gestured towards Li Chengqian, turned to a Taoist with a long beard and said, "Master Daoist, this is the eldest son of the king, Li Chengqian."

Li Chengqian blinked, seeing the Taoist staring at him intently, his expression changed from calm at first to a hint of surprise at the end.

Yuan Tiangang is a person who doesn't show emotions, so the slight change in the expression on his face is particularly conspicuous.

Prince Li Jiancheng was paying attention to his expression all the time. Seeing his slight change of color, he couldn't hold back and said, "Master Daoist, what's wrong?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head, looked at Li Yuan who was sitting at the head again, and said cautiously: "I heard from the poor, that Your Majesty wants to test the fate of the little prince?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, saw him hanging his head, and said with a smile: "I really have that intention."

Yuan Tiangang asked: "I don't know if the prince and concubine have prepared the birth date of the son?"

Changsun took out a bamboo stick from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Tiangang.Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Chengqian's birthday horoscope above, and muttered something in his mouth: "In spring and autumn, Yinzi is expensive, in winter and summer, it is not until the time of day; when golden wood and horses are in harmony, there are many water, turkey, chickens and dogs; when the earth is destined to meet Chensi, the boy is sure to be good."

Everyone in the hall waited silently for the result. Li Chengqian leaned in Changsun's arms, his eyes fixed on Yuan Tiangang.

After a while, Yuan Tiangang opened his eyes. He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, according to the horoscope of the son's birthday, he is indeed the fate of a boy. He has been very intelligent since he was a child, and has a dignified appearance. He has the appearance of a golden boy. ..."

Li Yuan eagerly asked: "Just what?"

"It's just that although the fate of a boy is the reincarnation of a heaven and a man, there are many restrictions. For example, when the son is fourteen years old, he is destined for one calamity. If he cannot survive this calamity safely, he will be damaged for life; I am afraid that the future marriage will be very difficult."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and Li Chengqian's eyes widened. Unlike everyone who had their own thoughts, Li Chengqian was purely surprised.He thought of his marriage in his previous life. Su Shi was a good woman, but in the end he betrayed her, thus losing a good marriage.

Li Yuan's complexion changed again and again, and finally he said in a deep voice: "I...understand..." Under the throne, the faces of the prince/son/dang and the Qin royal party were different, and Li Shimin's face It has completely darkened.

Difficult marriage means difficult offspring.Heirs are difficult, and in the feudal society, they basically missed the position of supreme.Li Yuan is also a person who pays so much attention to Li Tang's foundation, so if he chooses Li Shimin, doesn't it mean that he will cut off Li Tang's successor?

For a while, no one in the hall spoke.In the silence, a guard outside the hall suddenly ran in.

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Boldly, the Taiji Hall, how could you allow you to break in so rashly."

The guard reported out of breath: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a person waiting at the gate of the palace. He claims to be Li Siqing's staff. This time he returns to the Tang Dynasty. He intends to reach the Yangtze River in the south and reach the large tracts of land and counties in Wei County in the north." This city is dedicated to His Majesty."

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately excitedly said: "Li Siqing? Isn't it Li Mi! It must be the general who managed the old department for him to send someone to offer the city."

Li Yuan also reacted: Li Mi came to surrender, he was the first army, and his subordinate Li Ji took over the territory he was still in command of before.Li Yuan originally thought that when Li Ji occupied the territory, he might have rebellion, so the imperial court would send troops to collect it again.

Unexpectedly, before Li Yuan thought of Li Ji.Li Ji himself surrendered to Datang first, and sent his subordinates to return to Tang Xiancheng.

This is really great news. For a while, everyone temporarily forgot the result of Yuan Tiangang's fate test for the son.

Li Yuan immediately announced the envoy into the hall.

When the envoy entered the palace, Li Chengqian's eyes widened suddenly.He knew the man, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

As a vassal, the man didn't show any fear or fear at all.He saluted Li Yuan generously and presented a document written by Li Ji himself.

Li Yuan won so many territories without a single soldier, Longyan was very happy.He asked the envoy with a pleasant face, "Who are you?"

The envoy replied: "My surname is Wei and my name is Zheng. I used to be an official under General Li Mi's tent."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shimin subconsciously, and saw his face change slightly.

Li Shimin suddenly said, "You are Wei Zheng? Are the Ten Strategies of Wagang made by you?"

Wei Zheng was a little surprised, and immediately responded, "It's my clumsy work."

Li Shimin rushed to Li Yuan and said, "Father, this man once wrote to Li Mi, offering ten strategies for the Wagang Army to win the Central Plains, but Li Mi refused to accept them. My son has seen these ten strategies, and they are quite reasonable. Wei Lang You are a man of great talent."

Wei Zheng bowed his head and said, "Your Highness's praise, I am ashamed to take it."

Li Yuan stared at Wei Zheng for a while, nodded and said, "Since you are so talented, then you can stay and serve as the living room of the East Palace to assist the prince."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.Prince Li Jiancheng was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Father." In the audience, only Qin Wang Li Shimin's face completely darkened.

After the play of father's kindness and filial piety was over, Li Shimin got up slowly and said: "My minister is bold enough to implore my father to join the army Du Ruhui to stay at my minister's mansion. Du Canjun is my minister's right-hand man, and my minister marches and fights. It is inseparable from the assistance of Du Canjun."

It has to be said that the timing of Li Shimin's request was just right.Li Yuan had just found an aide for Li Jiancheng, and if he blatantly refused Li Shimin's request at this time, it would be too unfair.

Li Yuan glanced at Yuan Tiangang who was standing in the hall, who looked like he had nothing to do with me, and remembered his assertion about the son of King Qin.He also felt that his second son, who was good at fighting, had already been ruled out as a candidate for the crown prince.As compensation, Li Yuan nodded and agreed to a mere request to keep Du Ruhui.

It can be said that each of the rituals achieved their goals, the prince had more confidence in himself, and the king of Qin also kept his counselor.Up to now, no one paid attention to Li Chengqian anymore, and everyone looked thoughtful.

Li Yuan rushed to Yuan Tiangang and said: "Daoist Yuan, I still have some matters. I want to ask the Taoist priest alone, so I ask the Taoist priest to stay."

Yuan Tiangang nodded and followed Li Yuan into the inner room.Everyone in the hall dispersed separately, Li Chengqian was led by the eldest grandson, and slowly followed his father out of the Tai Chi Hall.
