[Ancient Sword] Chu Gong Qionghua

With a long cry, the hall was so silent that it was frozen for a moment.

"Saint to—"

The concubine helped the saint into the hall, and all the officials knelt down to worship, and the three brothers Li Jiancheng went to greet him.

Li Yuan looked very happy, and patted Li Jiancheng: "Okay, just come back."

Li Jiancheng put his hands in front of him, his wide sleeves blocked his left and right views, he winked secretly at Li Yuan, and said, "My lord, sit up."

The main seat is the position of the crown prince just now. Zheng Guanyin looked at the smiling Li Jiancheng, helped Li Yuan to the main seat, and stood behind him, while Li Jiancheng took the position of the side concubine Feng, who stood behind him. side.

In this way, all the unreasonable becomes reasonable.The position of the crown prince is equal to that of the son of heaven, but it is placed on the other side and inferior to the son of heaven. In terms of etiquette, it is equal to the position of the king of Qin on the right, but at this time it seems to be higher than that of the king of Qin. The crown princess who serves the son of heaven is naturally higher than the side of the prince. Concubine Feng, the crown prince and Feng seem to be not at all rude now.

Li Jiancheng's playful little action just now was to inform Li Yuan of his own little calculations, so as not to displease his father, and Li Yuan found it a little cute to act coquettishly for a man in his 30s.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't be more relaxed, the prince's calculations were too accurate, as if he had discussed it with the saint in advance.If the sage means that the crown prince cooperates to lure King Qin to rebel, then what chance does King Qin have of winning.Only Li Jiancheng was the prince that the sage favored, and he even gave up another capable direct son in order to consolidate his position.

Li Shimin's eyes were on the empty place, and the fingers holding the wine bottle turned white. Li Yuanji next to him noticed this detail and smiled on purpose. Li Shimin looked at him indifferently.

Li Yuanji raised his hand to toast Li Shimin: "Second brother, even your father came here specially for your welcome banquet today, come, I respect you."

Li Shimin drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Silang, you are really getting more and more sensible."

Li Yuanji pretended to be humble, and deliberately hurriedly said: "Where is it, my elder brother praised you for judging the situation the day before yesterday."

Li Shimin forced himself up with a smile on his face, turned to look at Li Jiancheng, and saw that he was talking to Mrs. Feng.

The lights reflected the emerald jade, and the golden jade radiance dangled on Li Jiancheng's face. The untied crown hung from his temples to his chest, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of gentle smiles. The fine lines left at the end of the eyes are unique.

In the fifth year of Wude, Liu Heikai, who had been defeated by the King of Qin and fled to Turks, made a comeback and brought Hu Bing into rebellion in Shandong.

After the great dynasty, Li Yuanji insisted on dragging the crown prince, and took several aides from the Eastern Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion to Pingkangfang.

Pingkangfang is close to the West Market, and it is the gathering place of the Goulan of Qinlou, Chu Pavilion and Qingyuan. There are all kinds of men and women in the world, Yingying Yanyan, orchids and dancers from Jiangnan.Li Jiancheng was quite familiar with this place, courtiers came here to entertain guests after finishing their official duties, to listen to music, and to exchange friendship with prostitutes.

There were seven or eight young prostitutes serving a few people in the room. Li Yuanji liked this kind of courteousness, and Li Jiancheng didn't bother to ask for it, but he liked ladies more.

The King of Qin, Ke Luoyang, whose achievements can be said to overwhelm all heroes for a while, has been deliberately suppressed by the prince since he returned to Chang'an, but because of this, he has become more and more arrogant.

It is not yet known who the sage sent to quell the Shandong rebellion. Li Yuanji only complained to his elder brother about the King of Qin, and the officials around him also agreed. At this time, seeing King Qi who was close to the prince said, he couldn't help but add a few words.

The woman with colorful makeup and high bun snuggled beside her was very good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Li Jian was the leader of the crowd, his gestures were all elegant and graceful, and she had no interest in her, so she didn't dare to lose her etiquette. She just lowered her eyebrows and looked down. The respected guests pour wine and share food.

Li Jiancheng didn't speak much, he was as gentle and humble as before, but he was not in a good mood. Since Li Shimin came back, he had almost lost his joy. The day before yesterday, Wei Zheng actually proposed to kill Erlang.

Even if he could bear it, how could Prince Jiancheng endure it.

"My lord..." The woman next to him suddenly said, Dan Kou onion pinched out the crown hanging from the wine bottle, it was already soaked.

Prince Changqin was never used to tie the crown tassel under his chin, and the slight constriction in front of his throat displeased him very much. No matter in the human world or the heavenly world, he would never wear the crown tassel unless he was visiting a temple to offer sacrifices. Tassel tied up.

Recalling that in the past, I visited the fairyland and played the piano outside Taixu.Nine clouds and hazy Huadian, Qing Lingqin lingers between the fingers, Chi Jindan shakes the crown with steps, Supa expresses love to the goddess.

When he was indifferent, he never looked at Huagong more, and ignored the fairy's words of admiration, but now that he thinks about it, his prince Changqin is an ancient god, born in the wilderness, born with knowledge of ritual and music, fine rhythm, qin art is unparalleled in the world In the Six Realms, the name of the God of War deters all races, how many people can be regarded as handsome and respectable, why should they end up like this.

After being in a daze for a long time, Li Jiancheng seemed to involuntarily raise his left hand, lightly held the crown tassel with two fingers and slowly stroked it down, then raised his eyes and said, "Erlang, I have something to do and I have to go back home first." He looked at the crowd again, got up and left the desk , said apologetically, "Let's have fun, everyone."

When Li Jiancheng left, the people in the East Palace couldn't stay longer, and they all bid farewell to King Qi, which made Li Yuanji very depressed.

In the East Palace, Wei Zheng heard that the crown prince had come back, tidied up and went to see him. Li Jiancheng had already changed his clothes, and the slight smell of alcohol and powder had dissipated.

Li Jiancheng invited Wei Zheng into the room, and after seeing the ceremony, he asked, "Is Wei Qing here for the chaos in Shandong?"

"Exactly." Wei Zheng said, "I'm here to ask His Highness to invite you to fight and go to Shandong to quell the chaos."

Li Jiancheng nodded and asked again: "If the palace leaves the capital, what will King Qin do?"

"The king of Qin begged Liu Heita to flood the three armies, Fang returned in a big defeat, and Luo Shixin, his favorite general, was beheaded."

"This time, Liu Heita has collected all the old troops of the Xia army, and it is really difficult to deal with."

Wei Zheng took a step forward and said, "His Royal Highness is in charge of all Imperial Guards in the Palace City. His Highness supervises the administration of the country. He has operated in Chang'an for many years. King Qin is arrogant, but his roots are far away in Luoyang. He will never act rashly. As long as His Highness is there one day, He didn't dare to act recklessly, and if His Highness led the troops outside, he didn't dare to act rashly."

"Yes, as long as I'm here..." Li Jiancheng seemed to sigh, then paused suddenly, then looked at Wei Zheng again.

Wei Zheng turned around and said: "The King of Qin has fought many battles, and all of Ke Luoyang's merits have been attributed to the King of Qin. The limelight is overwhelming for a while, so His Highness will be able to suppress him by going here."

Five days later, at the Xiaochao meeting, the emperor asked the ministers about the chaos in Shandong. The crown prince asked for a fight, wishing to lead the army to defeat Liu Heitai again, and he would be captured and killed.

When the prince broke Xiadu, he promised his officials and people not to kill Dou Jiande, but under the persuasion of King Qin, Dou Jiande was finally beheaded by Li Yuan, so that the prince broke his trust in Hebei and Shandong.

The two places had grievances against the Tang court. Regardless of the life and death of the Tang army and the people, the King of Qin flooded the three armies, causing the local people to hate the Tang army deeply.

And when Li Jiancheng was about to go to war, he heard the news of Li Daoxuan's death. Although he didn't have many personal relationships, he felt sad.

Li Daoxuan is also a member of the royal family, Li Jiancheng's younger cousin, he fought with the King of Qin in his early years, and was besieged and killed by Liu Heitai, but he was only nineteen years old.

sad.

Li Jiancheng was annoyed and vowed to avenge his family.

In early summer and June, Prince Edward will go on an expedition.Li Yuanji was the vanguard, Yin Kaishan was the deputy commander, Feng Li, Xue Wanjun, Wei Ting, Wei Zheng and other generals and advisors accompanied them.The sage sent the prince to Xuanwu Gate.

Everything is flourishing, it is the time when the wind is warm, and the clear sky is blue and clear like water. Li Jiancheng is still wearing the red robe and black armor, with the sapphire scabbard Yishui long sword clasped around his waist. His face is as cold as jade, against the golden light of the sun, Standing tall, he dared not look up.

Thousands of soldiers behind him are like majestic mountains and rivers, winding endlessly, slowly leaving Chang'an.

When the crown prince left Beijing, the shackles on Li Shimin's heart collapsed in an instant, just like a person who had been planning to escape from prison for a long time was suddenly released, relaxed and excited, and immediately ready to move.

The King of Qin has been in the army for many years, fighting everywhere, and has many supporters. In recent years, the crown prince has supervised the administration of the country and has been away from the army for a long time. Except for the prince's direct troops, the military forces of the prince's party are scattered everywhere, and none of them are directly controlled by him. , has fallen behind in terms of military power.

The crown prince was at odds with the King of Qin, and the military power fell to the King of Qin, which was not what he wanted, but just because of the defeat of the King of Qin, the sage was asked to release all the military power of the King of Qin and hand it over to the King of Qi, so as to consolidate the power of the East Palace.

Frustrated with both sides, he suddenly relaxed, he was annoyed that he was so jealous of Li Jiancheng, and he also hated the prince and King Qi for joining him.

Unsurprisingly, Li Shimin thought of Concubine Qi Yang, that soft, charming and talented woman who stayed alone in her boudoir, who couldn't bear the loneliness.I don't know when the two of them secretly had an affair, and I don't know how many times they had a sexual relationship, but Li Yuanji didn't even know that he was fighting outside.

This time Li Shimin made a private appointment with Concubine Qi Yang, but unfortunately Princess Pingyang saw it, and was frightened and angry, so he just returned home silently.

The war between Lu and Hebei became more intense, Qi Wang Li Yuanji failed in the first battle, and the policy of suppression made the army and the people hate Tang Ting even more.If this battle is decided, the world of Tang Dynasty will be truly peaceful.

The prince urgently ordered the King of Qi to stop the suppression and killing, and put the emphasis on appeasement. The King of Qi immediately told the two places to surrender and release him, but no one believed him, and several states rebelled.

Li Jiancheng knows best how to rule the army with the law of governing the country. Most of Liu Heitai's gatherings are mobs. If the common people can live a good life, there will be no troubles. Years of wars and the two suppressions by the Tang army are also pushed to the end. As long as you take measures to appease , must be self-defeating.

Fighting all the way to Mingzhou, Li Jiancheng captured many prisoners and released them all. The prestige of the Tang prince was reestablished in the two places.
