[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

The two rested for a while, and Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "Are you still climbing?" As he spoke, his eyes lingered on Xin Xin's legs for a while, "If the legs are weak, we will go down the mountain."

Xinxin glared at Li Chengqian softly: "It's still early..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian stood up: "Then continue..."

The two supported each other and climbed up another mountain, and their vision suddenly widened. In front of them were two mountains facing each other on the left and right, and a water system passed between the two mountains.

Xinxin said in surprise: "The two mountains face each other, and Yishui flows... This is Yique. I didn't expect that one day, I could really see this dragon gate with my own eyes."

According to legend, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty climbed Mang Mountain accompanied by his officials, and happened to see the natural Yique. Emperor Yang was also impressed by Luoyang's unique terrain and geomantic omen, so he decided to build Luoyang, the eastern capital.In the end, the gate of the palace city built by Emperor Sui Yang happened to be opposite to this Yique, so Yique was also known as the Dragon Gate.

"My lord, everyone in the world says that it is a great auspicious omen to be able to see the Dragon Gate. I would like to congratulate you first."

Li Chengqian looked at the excited Xinxin, and silently held the hand of the Xinxin, feeling the stiffness of the person beside him, and he did not make any further movements, but said in a voice that both of them could hear clearly: "Not only It was me, and you saw it too, so...we're all going to be blessed."

Yi Xin was startled, and looked at Li Chengqian, only to see him pick up a stone from the ground and throw it far away.

At the same time, in Ziwei Palace in Luoyang City, Du Ruhui was holding a letter from Jingzhong, and said to Li Shimin, "Your Highness, according to the news from Beijing, His Majesty has given King Yidu many rewards recently. I think it has something to do with His Highness's victory." .”

Li Shimin looked at the palace with carved beams and painted buildings, and smiled lightly: "I captured Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, I'm afraid some people will feel uneasy."

Du Ruhui remained silent and didn't answer. Li Shimin seemed a little tired after the brief joy, and he waved his hand slowly: "What are you talking about? Forget it."

"Keming, look at how beautiful this palace is. Yang Guang really spent all his money to build Luoyang."

Du Ruhui suddenly stood aside, leaving the central gate of the palace empty: "Your Highness, I heard people say that you can see Yi Que if you look straight through the palace gate."

Li Shimin didn't expect him to say that, he was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Keming, do you believe in the theory of dragon veins and dragon gate?"

Du Ruhui said softly: "I... believe it..."

Li Shimin really laughed out loud this time: "Then tell me, Yang Guang spent so much effort building the Eastern Capital and sat on the throne facing Yique all day long, but why couldn't he keep Sui's capital?" What about Jiangshan?"

"This..." Du Ruhui couldn't answer.

If you want to talk about Luoyang, it is really a treasure land of geomantic omen, surrounded by nine waters and surrounded by five mountains. Luoyang is like a cornucopia in the middle.This city of Luoyang, facing Yique in front and Mang Mountain in the back, is really surrounded by mountains and rivers. The saying "he who wins the Central Plains wins the world" comes from here.

But listening to the meaning of Li Shimin's words, he didn't quite agree with Luoyang as the land of Longxing.Du Ruhui raised his head quietly, looked at the young King Qin, and saw a determination in his brows: "Whether he is the real dragon emperor or not, we won't know until the last moment, but this Luoyang, I have to decide."

That's right, Li Shimin stayed in Luoyang for so long, not for nothing.He is arranging his own forces to make Luoyang an important town under his control. Things like pulling out nails can be done slowly and meticulously, and there is no rush.So this delay dragged on for more than half a month.

In the past half a month, Li Shimin made friends with the powerful and famous families in Luoyang City.Among them is the prestigious Jingzhao Webster.

But he said that Li Chengqian has lost control these days, and in his spare time, he travels around the mountains and rivers and entangles Xinxin by the way, and lives a very comfortable life.But in his heart, he always felt a little uneasy, as if he had overlooked something important.

This matter has been forgotten by Li Chengqian, until one day he came to Ziwei Palace, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw two beautifully dressed women standing beside Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian recognized them, even though they were two women with completely different looks and temperaments, they both came from Jingzhao Webster.

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows calmly, and then Li Shimin said with a smile: "Chengqian, you are here. You are just playing around these days, and you have forgotten your father."

Li Chengqian is now gradually able to understand the tender side of Li Shimin's iron man. He ran up to Li Shimin, spread out the scroll in his hand, pointed to a scripture and said to Li Shimin: "Father, this sentence is my fault." A little confused..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the scroll in his hand, and the father and son talked to each other, discussing as if no one else was there.

Li Chengqian glanced at the two women standing beside him from the corner of his eye. The one on the left stared straight ahead, as if everything that happened in the temple had nothing to do with her; His eyes glanced at the father and son from time to time, with a hint of grievance mixed with shyness and timidity.

In an instant, Li Chengqian came to a conclusion. The person on the left had a more graceful demeanor. He had obviously seen big scenes. The head of the concubine, Concubine Wei.

The one on the right is Concubine Wei's cousin. After this battle, both of them were brought into Qin/Wang/Prince's mansion by Li Shimin.

Although Li Chengqian knew this fact clearly, he was in a panic, as if his father, who originally belonged only to him, was inexplicably divided up by others.

Li Shimin patiently explained to his son for a long time, but there was no answer for a long time. When he looked up, Li Chengqian's thoughts had already flown away, and his eyes were still secretly looking at the Weiss sisters.

Li Shimin remembered what the Changsun family had said before, and his eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at Li Chengqian: Could it be that his son really knew about this kind of love between men and women so early?Knowing how to stare at a beautiful lady at such a young age, what will happen in the future?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's finger has already greeted Li Chengqian's forehead.Li Chengqian felt a pain in his forehead, only to realize that his father was looking at him with a tiger face.

"I think your mind is really distracted, you dare to wander off!" Li Shimin reprimanded, but there was no anger on his face.

But Li Chengqian was not timid, he explained the meaning of that sentence completely, so that Li Shimin couldn't find the mistake.After explaining the homework, Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said, "The ladies in Ziwei Palace are so beautiful, just like fairies descending to earth."

A seemingly unintentional remark made Li Shimin feel guilty for no reason. He opened his mouth and said, "Chengqian, in the position of father, there are many things that father cannot decide. When you grow up, you will understand."

Li Chengqian played with the scroll in his hand until he left Ziwei Palace, Li Shimin's last words still echoed in his mind.

Of course he knew Li Shimin's intentions in doing this. Jingzhao Wei's family is the first of the "four surnames in Guanzhong" and is well-known in the Guanzhong area.Now the Li family in Longxi, that is, Li Shimin's family, has conquered Luoyang.Webster, who has always had a keen sense of politics, naturally also sensed signs of Li Tang's domination of the world.No, as soon as Li Shimin was operating in Luoyang City, Webster sent his prostitute daughter and concubine daughter to his door.

Of course Li Shimin wanted to marry, and marrying Webster would bring him nothing but benefits.What's more, Li Chengqian knew that Wei Gui had always been knowledgeable. Even though she was canonized as a concubine in the first year of Zhenguan, she never dreamed of going ahead of the Changsun family in all these years.

This is an extremely smart woman, so she was able to start well and end well, and the children she raised were considered outstanding among all Li Shimin's heirs.

But Li Chengqian always felt awkward in his heart.Li Shimin said that when he grows up, he will understand. So, when he grows up, he will have three wives and four concubines, and use those women as a means to stabilize politics?Just like the Su family back then?

Li Chengqian's footsteps became faster and faster, but his heart became heavier and heavier.He suddenly wanted to meet with Xin, although he also knew that even if he saw someone, he couldn't do anything about it.

So, satisfied with stealing half a day's leisure, just glanced at the ghosts in the street, and saw Li Chengqian who was running profusely.

Yixin stood up from the bed at once, and walked towards Li Chengqian.Seeing his sweat-soaked face, he wiped his sweat and asked, "What's the matter? Are you running so fast?"

Li Chengqian grasped Xinxin's hand: "Have you... ever thought about getting married?"

Yi Xin was startled, he looked at Li Chengqian's extremely serious eyes, as if looking at another person through his face.Yixin knew that what Li Chengqian asked was not Fang Yizhi, but whether Xinxin would marry a wife.

Yi Xin was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I... never thought about this..."

Li Chengqian was not reluctant: "Think about it now, immediately."

Yi Xin didn't directly answer Li Chengqian's question, but instead asked, "What about the prince? When I saw Lin Shuang'er that day, do you have any ideas?"

Li Chengqian looked at him intently, with a posture of fighting it out: "Xinxin, listen to me, as long as you don't marry for a day, I won't marry a wife either. If you really marry a wife and have children in the future, you and I Between them, there will be no more ties.”

Li Chengqian knew that others might think it was a child's joke, but he would not, he would understand what Li Chengqian meant.

Compared with Li Chengqian's imposing manner, Xinxin was more surprised by the meaning of his words.If he doesn't marry himself, Li Chengqian will not marry.

No matter how hard-hearted his heart is, he will be moved by these words.But Xinxin knows what Li Chengqian's status is. Once he is a prince, he can't help himself to decide the marriage. How can there be such a good thing?But looking at Li Chengqian's focused gaze, Xin felt that all her words of rejection were stuck in her throat.He would never be able to truly live up to such a pair of eyes, such a fiery, unreserved feeling.

Li Chengqian took every step carefully.He was afraid that if he was not careful, Yixin finally stretched out the tentacles of the turtle shell and then retracted.But what he was even more afraid of was that if the two of them continued to be ambiguous like this endlessly, neither of them would point it out, and neither of them would tell the truth. In a blink of an eye, when it came time to really make a choice, the two of them would lose to reality again.

Li Chengqian took a step forward, and suddenly put his arms around Xinxin's waist.He had to admit that the incident with Li Shimin's sister Weiss woke him up a bit.The in-laws of the royal family originally only valued family status and had nothing to do with love.

But Li Chengqian didn't want to do this, he didn't want his in-laws in two lifetimes to become a transaction.

Yixin felt the person in front of him wrap his hands tightly around his waist, and even trembled a little, obviously anxious.

"I don't know why you refuse to admit that you are satisfied. Is it because I haven't done well enough to satisfy you? I only know that in this life, no matter who you are in, I will never put you I lost it. Dear, I admit that I am very greedy. In this life, I want both the throne and you. Maybe you will think that I am wishful thinking, but I have never tried it. Who dares to say that it must be impossible? So Dear, Can you trust me again, give me another chance, let me protect you, don't push me away, don't block all the passages from the beginning, okay?"

Li Chengqian only felt that these words were buried in the deepest part of his heart, and even he himself didn't know what he said.All of these have not been well-written in advance. It can be said that they are all words from the heart.

In fact, even if Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, what he said today would most likely be in vain.But it was such a special scene that gave him courage and made him understand in an instant that the relationship between himself and Xinxin was originally not to be tolerated by the world.Those who are satisfied and worried, those who are afraid, maybe they have never seriously considered it.

In his previous life, all of Li Chengqian's actions were ridiculous.He thought he was fighting against Li Shimin, but he didn't know that all this was also a kind of slow delay in the eyes of Xin Xin.

When you really love someone, no one is willing to see: the lover abandons himself because of himself, or even completely destroys himself.For a long time, Li Chengqian did not understand this truth.

Every word Li Chengqian uttered was heard by Xinxin.His brain almost stopped functioning, and it took him a long time to react to Li Chengqian's words.

He never thought that Li Chengqian would say such a thing to him.

He knew that his lover was very capricious and presumptuous, and once he decided on one thing, he would not turn back easily.Li Chengqian is not reconciled to his in-laws turning into a cold deal, so why would he be willing to hand over his beloved?

Perhaps, this is fate.Can't escape, and can't stop cutting.

So, the child who had been stubbornly burying his head in Xinxin's arms finally heard Xinxin's answer: "Chengqian, I promise you, as long as you don't marry a wife, I will never marry before you." In order to appease Li Chengqian, Sheng Xin already had such thoughts in her heart, and when she really said these words, it was far easier than imagined.

Li Chengqian knew that this was a promise, and the person he hugged tightly finally confessed his identity in a disguised form.

How lucky to be able to meet you in this life.

When Li Shimin finished spending time with the Webster sisters in a leisurely manner, and dragged Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong all the way back to Chang'an in a leisurely and show-off manner, Li Yuan had already been waiting impatiently.After this battle, Li Shimin became much more stable. Before departure, the tense atmosphere between him and Li Yuan because of Liu Wenjing disappeared invisible.

In the Taiji Palace, after the banquet was over, Li Yuan sent everyone away, except Pei Ji, whom he trusted the most.Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji's white hair, and said softly, "You're getting old..."

Pei Ji just smiled and didn't answer.

Li Yuan scratched his hair: "I'm old too..."

After a pause for a while, Li Yuan suddenly asked again: "This time King Qin returns to the capital, I heard that the people in the capital slaughter sheep to celebrate each other?"

Pei Ji hadn't heard the emotion in Li Yuan's words at this moment, he nodded and said: "When King Qin returned to the capital, the people were all joyful and cheered, and lined the road to greet him."

Li Yuan said slowly: "The contribution of the people of the world is indeed great, almost surpassing me..."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ji immediately woke up, his buttocks left the chair in an instant, and he didn't dare to sit on it anymore.

"I'm going to give you a good reward. With my imperial decree, Shimin will be made the chief strategist, the Shandong Daoxingtai Shangshuling, [-] households in Shiyi, and the youngest son of the king of Qin, who is intelligent, will be named the king of Wei."

Pei Ji was taken aback, looking at Li Yuan with suspicious eyes.Shandong Daoxingtai Shangshuling is almost a self-contained official position with the right to be responsible for all government affairs within the jurisdiction. It is similar in nature to the Jiedushi who monopolized power in the late Tang Dynasty.And Shaanxi Road, impartial, happens to be Luoyang.

Handing over the power to govern Luoyang to Li Shimin is tantamount to planting a bomb beside the prince.Pei Ji couldn't figure it out, why did Li Yuan suddenly reward Li Shimin as if he had been greatly stimulated?

Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji's horrified expression, and threw away his pen with a smile: "Why, do you think King Qin is not worthy of this reward?"

"No...not..." Pei Ji hastily denied: "I just feel that such a reward..."

Li Yuan snorted and laughed: "With such rewards, the world still thinks that I have treated the people of the world badly. After swallowing Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande in one go, and having been punished in Luoyang for so long, he really thinks that I don't know his thoughts? Since he is so If you want Luoyang, then I will give it to him. Not only Luoyang, but I also want to give Li Tai the treatment of the son of King Qin. Since the death of Xuanba, Li Tai is the No.1 who is not the eldest son but can be named the first-rank king I just want Shimin to see Li Tai and think, this is a great honor, he should be content..."

When the news reached Li Jiancheng's ears, Li Jiancheng was supporting Li Yuanji, who was drunk, and was enduring the nonsense of Li Yuanji, who was already drunk.

The subordinates who came to report the news left the Xuanwu Gate, so they lost the restraint they had in Da Nei, and they spoke in a loud voice, which was all heard by Li Yuanji.

I don't know whether Li Yuanji is really drunk or fake drunk, so he kept hugging his brother and talking nonsense: "Brother...what is second brother called? Shan...Shaandong Road? Father Emperor I really gave Luoyang to him...hahahahahahaha..."

Li Jiancheng's subordinates hurriedly hid away from the king of Qi. He somehow felt that Li Yuanji was crazy, and his smile was really creepy.

"Brother...I'm really worthless for you...Really, you are a majestic eldest son, and the father actually let the second brother ride on your head like this..." said After finishing, he spat hard on the ground again: "What is military merit? What's so great about having military merit? If you have military merit, you can just grab other people's things casually? Big brother, little brother, I can't stand it anymore. Don't worry, there is a little brother in one day. , my younger brother will help you, and I will definitely not let my second brother be a hero like this..." Li Yuanji's voice was not small, but it became louder when he hit the palace wall.

Li Yuanji's bodyguard quickly came over to help Li Yuanji, and apologized to Li Jiancheng: "I made the prince laugh at me. My master is like this. He likes to talk nonsense when he drinks alcohol. Don't be offended." Li Yuanji shook his head, and finally put Li Yuanji After handing it over to the guards, he walked away quickly with an unhappy expression on his face.

The guard helped Li Yuanji into the gate of Prince Qi's mansion. As soon as he entered the Wude Hall, Li Yuanji immediately recovered from that boneless appearance, not even half drunk.

"I just...did I perform well?" He took some food and stuffed it into his mouth while asking his subordinates.

The subordinate praised sincerely: "It is almost possible to confuse the real with the fake."

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "Did you see the look of the eldest brother just now? His face smells so bad. Now that Luoyang has become Li Shimin's sphere of influence, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

The guard laughed along with him for a while, and said: "I just don't understand one thing, why did you choose to surrender to the crown prince instead of the king of Qin?"

Li Yuanji spat out the shells: "You treat me like a fool, Li Shimin's character, how could he be willing to share the world with others? If he wins, none of you, me, and brother Huang can escape. I was the eldest brother since I was a child." Even if I don’t consider other things, I won’t support Li Shimin just because of this one.”

The guard nodded, and heard Li Yuanji say: "Besides, it's justified to support the prince. By the way, I will intercede for the prince and make a good impression in front of the emperor."

The guards knew that Li Yuanji was never as playful as he looked, and he was even smarter than his two elder brothers.Li Yuanji had carefully analyzed the personalities of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. Li Shimin didn't need him. Against the strong background of his second brother, his eldest brother seemed cautious and gentle.Therefore, it became part of his plan to unite with Big Brother and join forces with Li Jiancheng to defeat Li Shimin.

Today's move is to let Li Jiancheng relax his vigilance and trust him more in the future.When Li Shimin loses power, Li Yuanji will target Li Jiancheng, and may imprison Li Jiancheng, or do something else.In short, Li Yuanji never gave up the highest throne for a moment.

The author has something to say: Concubine Wei is being named, in fact, in the harem of the early Tang Dynasty, she is still very knowledgeable and respected (づ￣3￣)づ
