National teacher help

The East Palace was brightly lit, and Li Jiancheng acted as if nothing had happened. Putting today's dispute in the palace behind him, he said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Shimin, if you do the math now, it has been two years. Back then you and the Turks were as good as each other. Khan's ten-year agreement, there are still eight years left."

Li Shimin had obviously decided to go to Luoyang after the war. After talking during the day, he gradually let go of his knots, and said with a smile: "If we can't beat them this time, there will be no future, and we will have to go out of the fortress."

Li Jiancheng took a sip of his wine, looked at Li Shimin with a smile, and said, "Shimin, my brother wishes you victory and return."

Li Shimin also smiled heartily and said: "Even if he dies on the battlefield, he will take Bingzhou back."

Li Jiancheng's expression changed, "Don't say that."

Li Shimin was a little sad, smiled gently, stared at the drink in the glass, and said, "I don't know why today, but I suddenly remembered the time when I was young, big brother, you took me out hunting."

"Hunting?" Li Jiancheng said, "I forgot, where is it?"

"The national teacher has arrived—"

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin hurriedly got up at the same time, Li Jiancheng's face changed slightly, and he stopped for a moment, greeted him with a smile, and asked, "Why is the national teacher here?"

Lu Zhongming said: "Just after coming out of His Majesty, Your Majesty said that the Prince will serve wine in the evening, wishing the King of Qin every success. Let me bring a message and have a drink with King Qin."

Li Jiancheng took a breath, and immediately heard the hint in Lu Zhongming's words - your father already knows that if Li Shimin can't leave the East Palace tonight, all the responsibility will be on your head.

Lu Zhongming said again: "Don't be restrained, please sit down, Prince."

"What did the emperor say?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

Lu Zhongming said: "I didn't say anything, it's the same sentence, asking Bingzhou if we can win the fight."

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Does the national teacher think he can win?"

Lu Zhongming said happily: "I still say the same thing, the secret must not be revealed."

For a moment, all three people in the banquet burst into laughter.

"What did you just say?" Lu Zhongming said, "Go ahead and ignore me."

"Let's talk about something about my childhood." Li Shimin said with a smile, "When I was a child, I chased a fox for ten miles in the hunting ground at the foot of Lishan Mountain. If you say don't shoot it, you have to shoot it in the head. It doesn't look good."

Li Jiancheng's attention was attracted by this old incident, he was a little dazed, squinted his eyes, and searched the hunting in his memory, but he had no clue.Li Shimin laughed again: "You followed me all the time, but in the end I missed the fox and it ran away..."

"...It seems that there was such a time." Li Jiancheng suddenly laughed and said, "You still fell off the horse, did you break your hand?"

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "It's in front of a forest. You ride your horse over, hug me on the horse, and say that it doesn't matter if you don't catch me, as long as you are fine."

Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "You boy, you broke your hand at that time, and you didn't say a word or cry. You have been so stubborn since you were a child."

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "I don't know why this matter, I always remember, you said that you didn't hit the fox, it doesn't matter, there are many things in the world, what is yours should be yours, not yours, go Just go, don't force it."

"I also remembered one thing." Li Jiancheng said: "I made the national teacher laugh. When I was a child, Shimin was only six years old..." Li Jiancheng gestured with his hands.

Putting the dishes under his hands, Lu Zhongming was so hungry that he started to eat immediately.

"Third Sister traveled thousands of miles and asked someone from Youzhou to bring you a longbow." Li Jiancheng said, "Do you remember? It is your most cherished thing. It is said that it was the ancient divine bow that King Mu of Zhou pacified Xirong. 'Drumming'."

Li Shimin was a little dazed: "Huh? I don't remember having this bow at all."

"Because I burned it." Li Jiancheng said: "At that time, my elder brother saw that you got something you loved and played with it every day with a longbow. For some reason, he became jealous, so he burned it while you were away."

There was a short silence, Li Shimin was simply inexplicable.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "I have remembered this matter for many years, and I often think that destroying your most beloved thing came from a thought that even I don't know why... I'm sorry, Shimin."

"I can't remember it at all." Li Shimin couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother, you shouldn't make up this to fool me."

Li Jiancheng's expression was a little sad and helpless. He filled his own cup with wine, sent it to Lu Zhongming, and said to Lu Zhongming: "I have remembered things for so many years, and I often press them on my heart. Forget it, if I knew it earlier, I didn’t mention it.”

Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Lu Zhongming took a sip of wine and said cheerfully: "When I was young, I was like this at home. My father has a calligraphy, which I like very much. It is said that an old friend wrote it for him. I was too young and ignorant at that time. Take a copy of his collection and go out to pack the pancakes and fruits that Lord Longyang spread for me. When I come back, it will be completely destroyed. In this world, there is only such a copy, which is priceless. I have been angry for a long time."

Li Shimin burst out laughing and said, "When I was young, I was often mischievous, and I destroyed a lot of my elder brother's things."

Lu Zhongming said again with great interest: "Later, I learned about it when I heard people tell me how I was a troublemaker when I was young, so I went to tell him, Dad, I'm sorry, I ruined your most beloved thing..."

"...My father doesn't remember this incident at all, and said, 'Is there any? What is the word? Why can't I remember?'" Lu Zhongming said: "There is no overnight feud between husband and wife, and neither does father and son. Other people do such things. You can’t say you have to bear a grudge for a lifetime, but the whole family will forget it in the blink of an eye, because everyone never takes this matter to heart, right, Shimin.”

Lv Zhongming raised his glass with a smile, toasted Li Shimin, and Li Shimin drank it with a knowing smile.

However, Li Jiancheng was very interested in the calligraphy and painting of Lu Zhongming's family, and asked: "So immortals also like calligraphy and painting? Whose authentic works? If the national teacher likes..."

Lu Zhongming said: "I'm not interested in these things, and my father doesn't like to collect them either, but the words were written by Zhao Zilong for him. Later, I found out that it was full of oil, and I could barely tell it was 'Long Yin Fang'. Ze, Tiger Roaring Hills'."

Li Jiancheng: "..."

Li Shimin: "..."

"Zhao Zilong's authentic work." Fang Xuanling said, "It's a pity that it was destroyed."

"Yes." Not only did Lu Zhongming show no regrets, but he was complacent. Anyway, my father didn't do anything to me, but he loved me even more.

"There is only one letter." Lu Zhongming smiled and said, "There is only one son who is not sensible. How can he strangle him to death? But the closest person."

Several people in the hall couldn't help laughing, they were all a little drunk, Li Shimin couldn't stop toasting the two of them, as the night deepened, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng talked about Li Yuanji again, and when the lights in the palace went out, Li Shimin left However, Li Jiancheng did not keep him overnight, took his hand and said: "If there are any difficulties in going out, just write a letter and come back."

Li Shimin held Li Jiancheng in his arms and called his brother, Fang Xuanling was afraid that he had drunk too much, so he took him away.

Lu Zhongming nodded slightly towards Li Jiancheng, and left with Li Shimin.

Outside the East Palace, in front of the carriage, Li Shimin leaned on the wall and vomited spasmodically, while Fang Xuanling gave him a back while Lu Zhongming stood quietly watching.

"The bow used by King Mu of Zhou." Lu Zhongming said lightly, "It's called 'Drumming'."

Fang Xuanling came over with water and waited for Li Shimin to drink it. Li Shimin heaved a long sigh.

"Death and life are in harmony with each other, and you can say it with your son. If you hold your hand, you and your son will grow old." Lu Zhongming said: "The original intention is to sing the love of soldiers who live together and die together, and their robes are dependent on each other. To sing about love."

Fang Xuanling didn't know what it meant, so he asked, "Please ask the national teacher, what's so strange about this poem?"

Li Shimin didn't answer, smelling of alcohol, he glanced at Lu Zhongming.

"Thank you for your help, Master Guo." Li Shimin said tremblingly.

"You're welcome." Lu Zhongming said lightly: "Your father doesn't know anything, it was Changsun Wuji who begged me to come here, in fact, even if I don't come today, your brother will not touch you."

Li Shimin sniffled and nodded. Fang Xuanling helped him into the carriage and looked at Lu Zhongming with a questioning look. Lu Zhongming waved his hand and said, "I'll walk by myself."

Fang Xuanling nodded, and the carriage left. Lu Zhongming smelled of alcohol and was a little dizzy. He remembered the idea that came to him when Li Yuan came to ask that day.On the way to Xiong'er Mountain after leaving Chang'an, this plan gradually took shape.Once Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng meet in battle in the future, is there any way to save the life of at least one of the two brothers?

With the technique of Li Daitao's stiffness, a corpse can be transformed into a corpse, but Zhuangzi's stick can only be used once by him. Lu Zhongming took out the bamboo stick from his sleeve. When he met Zhuang Zhou in Yangzhou, he stretched out his hand to draw it from the stick. This root came out.

Lu Ya Shenjun Taishang Nanhua Yu Lingming real lottery-No.30 three lottery: embedding flowers and trees.

Maybe in the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng's life could be saved, but what about the rest?what to do?Taking Li Jiancheng away, can he be persuaded not to return to Chang'an?

If the person to be kept is Li Shimin, Lu Zhongming is still sure to persuade him, but he can't destroy the track of history. It is really helpless and maddening.

Lu Zhongming walked for a while, took a long breath, and suddenly wanted to go back to see Li Jiancheng, so he turned and walked towards the East Palace. After the banquet in the East Palace, no one cleaned up. When the guard saw Lu Zhongming, he hurriedly said: "Guo..."

Lu Zhongming snapped his fingers, banned the words of the two guards, and walked in. The lights were brightly lit, and he saw Li Jiancheng leaning on the couch with disheveled hair, Wei Zheng standing, and a row of warriors on both sides. They were all shocked, obviously they had just been removed.

Li Yuanji was on the list, and when he saw Lu Zhongming, he knew that the matter had been revealed, and his face changed: "Whoever let it in, let me take it!"

The warriors were startled, Lu Zhongming raised his sleeves, and the wind from his sleeves directly sent Li Yuanji flying.

"Stop!" Wei Zheng said angrily.

Lu Zhongming said gently: "Li Yuanji, take your subordinates and get out."

Li Yuanji had a nosebleed profusely, covered his nose, and staggered to his feet. For a while, no one in the hall dared to speak. Li Jiancheng said wearily, "According to the teacher's order."

Li Yuanji had no choice but to leave the hall, and Lu Zhongming said again: "Go back to your hall, and you are not allowed to leave the hall until the sun rises tomorrow."

There were footsteps outside, apparently all of them had left, Wei Zheng sighed and said, "How does the national teacher want to deal with it?"

"Don't deal with it." Lu Zhongming said: "Just to see Jianjian, you all think too much."

Li Jiancheng lay down in front of the couch, and said in a deep voice, "Wei Zheng, you also step back."

Changing to an ordinary person, he kicked out the conspiracy in the East Palace, and he might be murdered. However, Lu Zhongming turned back in the middle of the night, but no one could do anything to him. Go straight, like entering your own backyard.

"Do you want to sober you up?" Lu Zhongming sat down beside Li Jiancheng, sighed, and said, "You... hey."

Li Jiancheng sneered and said, "What am I? Master Guoshi, what do you want to say? You...don't understand, I don't understand what Shimin wanted to say to me just now."

Lu Zhongming didn't answer, Li Jiancheng was lying in front of the couch, leaning half of his body on the ground, playing with the cup in his hand, looking up, there was still half a glass of wine in the cup, and the nectar dripped out slowly and soaked down.

"He wanted to ask me something just now." Li Jiancheng smiled helplessly: "But he didn't ask, I understand...he wanted to ask me, do you know, he chased the fox into the woods, his horse... ...why was it frightened and made him... fall off the horse."

"Why?" Lu Zhongming asked in a low voice.

"Because." Li Jiancheng twitched the corner of his mouth, stared at the cup ecstatically, and replied, "There is a tiger in the woods."

Lu Zhongming: "..."

"He didn't say it at the time, and he always thought that I... didn't know." Li Jiancheng said: "But I know, I risked my life not to save him..."

"...my brother... no matter how much I feel sorry for him..."

"He actually asked his subordinates...to accuse me of colluding with Li Mi in rebellion in front of my father!" Li Jiancheng broke out suddenly, swept the cup and plate on the case to the ground, looked at Lu Zhongming like a lunatic, and pointed at himself, He roared angrily: "I'm not even given a chance to defend myself! I'm not even given a chance to judge in front of my father! Do you know why?! My father can't even ask me!"

"What did I do wrong?!" Li Jiancheng almost gritted his teeth and said, "As the prince, the responsibility of the entire country rests on me. If I have the slightest intention of treason, I will be punished!"

"I'm the prince!" Li Jiancheng shouted almost hoarsely: "What am I doing? I still need to explain to the King of Qin?! What's wrong with me using Li Mi?! Even the emperor suspects me?!"

"Since I was a child, I dare not say a wrong word or do a wrong thing! I will learn whatever my father tells me! In the end, I will be deposed, and let that bastard who never listened to my father be the prince." !"

Lu Zhongming just looked at him quietly.

"I..." Li Jiancheng stood, smelled of alcohol instantly, staggered, rushed to the pillar, and vomited out with a wow.

"Come here, pour some water for the prince to sober up." Lu Zhongming ordered, "Come here!"

No one responded, and they must have been sent away by Wei Zheng. Lu Zhongming had no choice but to pour water himself, and helped Li Jiancheng to let him drink. Li Jiancheng vomited a lot, and in the end, it was bloodshot.

He let out a long breath and leaned on Lu Zhongming's shoulder. Lu Zhongming carried him and let him sleep back on the couch.

"Go to sleep." Lu Zhongming patted Li Jiancheng's head, pulled his robe over him, and left the East Palace.
