Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 107 Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Tian Hanshan was nagging Princess Changshan for some reason yesterday, but suddenly she was not feeling well.After finishing speaking, seeing the princess's face was dazed and motionless, he followed her gaze and saw nothing, and turned to follow her gaze direction wonderingly, but there was nothing to see.Tian Hanshan turned to observe the princess's expression again, only to realize that she was not concentrating on looking at something, but was concentrating on listening to something.
Coincidentally, the direction where the princess' ears are facing is exactly where the Lizheng Palace is located.Tian Hanshan immediately thought that the princess seemed to have such actions many times before.Tian Hanshan shook his head, and suddenly understood, could it be that the princess can hear the conversation of the Lizheng Palace?
Tian Hanshan immediately looked at Li Mingda in surprise.
Li Mingda came back to his senses and stared at Tian Hanshan.
Tian Hanshan took a sneak peek at Li Mingda, quickly shrunk his neck, lowered his head, his mind resounded with the exhortations of the noble lord to him before, and he became more quiet and honest.
Li Mingda is still looking at Tian Hanshan.
Tian Hanshan felt a chill down his spine, and explained to Li Mingda tremblingly: "I don't know anything, I don't see anything, I really don't see anything."
After a while of silence, Tian Hanshan still didn't hear your lord's voice, and slowly raised his head to look at her.
Li Mingda looked at him funny: "What did you see?"
"No, no, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything." Tian Hanshan knelt down tremblingly and slapped himself.
"Stop messing around, get up." Seeing Tian Hanshan like this, Li Mingda knew that he knew it, sighed, and asked Tian Hanshan to continue talking about Princess Changshan, "What's wrong?"
It was only then that Tian Hanshu realized that the princess seemed puzzled at first, but because of her guilty conscience, she confessed everything.
"It must be the wind and cold, my body is so hot that I can't eat any food." Tian Hanxiu said.
Li Mingda's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately went to see Princess Changshan Li Yumin.Before Li Mingda arrived, he heard Li Yumin coughing.
Li Mingda quickly walked into the room to check on Li Yumin who was lying in front of the bed. She had a sickly face and a pale complexion, but her cheeks were flushed due to fever and she coughed frequently. He coughed violently again, as if he wanted to cough up his heart, liver and lungs.
Li Mingda quickly went to help her, patted her on the back, asked someone to bring water, and fed her himself.
"You were fine the past two days, why did you become so sick all of a sudden?" Li Mingda sighed while stroking Li Yumin's back, "Sisters count you as the most lively, and you usually carry Aye on your back. Wall climbing trees, logically, your body and bones should be better than us."
Li Yumin wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued to lie on the couch, "Isn't this just in response to that sentence, the illness comes like a mountain?"
"There are still mental jokes, so let me rest assured." Li Mingda asked the palace servants around Li Yumin which imperial physician he had invited to see and what medicine he had prescribed, and then told them, "Since the cough is severe and it stops Don't stop, don't drink any water, boil some loquat juice."
The palace people immediately agreed.
"It's time for Imperial Physician Gao to check the pulse every day. After taking the medicine for a day, the fever still hasn't subsided. Is it useless, and the medicine should be changed?" Li Mingda said, and sent Tian Hanshan to invite someone to come.
"Don't be like this, I have tossed the imperial physician twice last night because I was uncomfortable. It's just an occasional typhoid fever, and autumn and winter change, and many people have this. Just sleep and sweat a little. It's okay to toss the imperial physician again. I am not a big princess, but I am extremely spoiled."
"What's this called? The princess's position is not very important, what is it? Could it be that they are too big in the hospital? Who said such a thing, it should be called Haosheng Theory." Li Mingda asked angrily.
Li Yumin hurriedly pulled Li Mingda, and said anxiously: "It's not what the people in the Tai Hospital said. Don't wrong the wrong person, Nineteenth Sister. In fact, it's the same reason. Nineteenth Sister is from the Empress, so everything should be done." I am different, although I am a princess, I still have a lower family background, and I am not appreciated by others, even if those people don’t say anything, I can’t understand what is going on in their hearts." Li Yumin lowered her eyes and said with a helpless voice. Said.
"What's the matter with you? I used to see you carelessly, but I didn't think about it. Why now..."
"That's because my nineteenth sister was deceived by my pretended appearance. I actually care about it. I care more than anyone else in my heart, but I am afraid that this temper will be offensive, so I pretend to be heartless." Li Yumin smiled wryly, grabbed Holding Li Mingda's hand, "Would Nineteenth Sister not like to get along with me because of me?"
"Of course not, don't think too much about it, so you can recover from your illness. I don't know where you heard the gossip, but I only know one thing. Those who gossip about you must not be born as high as you. A daughter in this world, alone In terms of background, who can compare to the emperor's daughter? You pay attention to what those narrow-minded, sour-mouthed people do. Otherwise, if someone bullies you, tell me, and I will help you."
Li Mingda was a little annoyed when he heard Li Yumin say this, but seeing that Li Yumin didn't reveal the source of the news, Li Mingda didn't want to force her, but he was afraid that if he forced her, she would become even more ill due to anxiety.
Li Yumin nodded and didn't say anything in the end, but he listened to Li Mingda's persuasion and stopped mentioning it.Not long after, Li Mingda saw that her head was sweating, and her cheeks became even more flushed.Li Mingda was really worried about her condition, so he called Doctor Gao.
As soon as Imperial Physician Gao checked the pulse, he said that Li Yumin's wind-cold disease was serious and he needed to reduce the fever as soon as possible.Immediately, a new prescription was prescribed, and the palace servants were instructed to apply cold water to the head if the fever persisted.Immediately afterwards, Imperial Physician Gao instructed the palace staff to observe Princess Changshan's condition at all times, and also advised Princess Changshan to rest well and eat as much as possible, so that the disease will recover faster.
Princess Changshan and the palace officials agreed one by one, and Imperial Physician Gao stepped down.
Seeing Li Yumin's tired face and drooping eyelids, Li Mingda advised her to take a good rest.When Princess Changshan closed her eyes and fell asleep, Li Mingda quietly got up and left.
Immediately, Li Hui'an, Princess of Hengshan, also came in a hurry. After seeing Li Mingda, Li Hui'an hurried to Li Mingda and held Li Mingda's hand.
Li Hui'an blinked her black and white eyes, "How is Miss Twenty?"
"Wind and cold disease, rest now, you don't want to go, go back with me." Li Mingda grabbed Li Hui'an's hand and walked back, Li Hui'an looked in the direction of Li Yumin's bedroom, eyes A look of worry flickered.
"What's wrong?" Li Mingda sensed that Li Hui'an's expression was wrong.
Li Hui'an hesitated for a while, then raised his head and asked Li Mingda: "Did the [-]th sister say anything to the [-]th sister just now?"
"What?" Li Mingda asked Li Hui'an puzzled.
Li Hui'an pursed his lips, "I don't mean anything, but I always feel that Miss Twenty is unhappy recently. Last time I went to the garden to play, I happened to meet her, and saw her squatting behind a tree and secretly wiping tears. No matter how much you try to persuade her, it’s not good. I wanted to persuade her, but I was afraid that she would lose face, so I didn’t dare to go. Then I pulled me to try and ask her if she was in a good mood, and she was the same as before, laughing and laughing Smile at me, heartless, I just pretended nothing happened. But the day before yesterday I went to see her again, I was naughty, and rushed into the house before the report was over, and saw her wipe her eyes with her hand, His eyes were also red, as if he had just cried."
"Then you still didn't ask this time?"
Li Hui'an nodded, then shook his head again.She pouted slightly, and looked at Li Mingda aggrievedly.
"I asked her what's the matter, and she said it's okay, but the wind blinded her eyes. Seeing her forced smile, I couldn't bear to ask any more!"
After Li Hui'an finished speaking, he admitted his mistake and bowed his head to Li Mingda.
Li Mingda knew what kind of temperament Li Hui'an was, he was soft-hearted and the easiest to be persuaded, and she especially cared about the feelings of those she respected and liked.
Li Mingda poked Li Hui'an's forehead with his hand, admonishing her not to do this next time.
"You don't need to make amends, there is nothing wrong with your kindness." Li Mingda touched Li Hui'an's smiling face, smiled and continued to walk back holding her hand.
After the two returned to the Lizheng Hall together, they learned that Li Shimin was not there, so the two sisters had dinner first, and then sat on the bed to play grass fighting.
A small bamboo frame was placed beside the two of them. The basket was wrapped with a layer of cloth, and a handful of picked grass stems were placed inside.The two took one from their respective baskets to test the toughness of the stem.Each person holds one in their hand, the grass stems are intertwined, and each pulls back with his own end. The one who breaks is the loser, and the loser must give the winner a gold leaf.This game is too old for Li Mingda, but it is rare that Li Huian likes it, and Li Mingda is also happy to play with her.
Li Hui'an is still the age where all emotions are shown on his face.After winning once, she danced happily and showed off to Li Mingda with the gold leaf, as if she would become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty in the next moment.When he lost, he pouted and pouted, looking very unhappy, and then continued the competition early with high spirits and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Li Mingda was envious of Li Hui'an's way of being happy about a little thing, and was soon infected by her emotions, and also laughed happily.
After Li Shimin came back from Liangyi Hall, he felt tired, and planned to go directly to Lizheng Hall to rest, but Li Mingda's room was brightly lit, and a girl's laughter could be faintly heard inside.
The palace people nearby also informed that Princess Hengshan is here today and will stay here tonight.Li Shimin raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and headed towards Li Mingda's room.Immediately, the palace people continued to report back, saying that Princess Changshan was in poor health, and the two princesses had gone to visit earlier.
Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he hurriedly asked, "How?"
"The wind-cold disease is still feverish, but it doesn't seem to be getting better. Princess Jinyang has already invited Imperial Physician Gao to see her and changed her medicine. It should be effective."
Li Shimin gave a "hmm", and then Fang Qirui reminded himself tomorrow that he had time to visit Princess Changshan.
Fang Qirui humbly bowed and agreed.
Li Shimin smiled and strode to Li Mingda's place. The two children had already stood in the middle of the room and saluted him.
"What are you playing? It's so fun." Li Shimin squinted and saw two baskets of grass on the bed, and immediately understood what they were playing.
"The half-green and half-yellow grass in autumn is the strongest, and it's very exciting to fight. Do you want to compete with Huian?" Li Mingda asked.
Li Shimin said with great interest: "Okay, I will play with you."
Li Shimin immediately fiddled with the basket twice with his hands, and selected a slender and black-colored grass stalk.
"What can you say about winning or losing?" Li Hui'an looked at Li Shimin with bright eyes.
Li Shimin laughed and said: "You won, I will give you whatever I want. But what if Aye wins?"
"Then Hui'an will give whatever Aye wants, as long as Hui'an has it." Li Hui'an said.
Li Shimin didn't need to think too much, and immediately said to Li Hui'an: "Your handwriting is poor, so you can practice [-] words every day until the end of the year, is it feasible?"
"This," Li Hui'an hesitated for a moment, then fiddled with the grass stems in his basket, found the thickest and most satisfying one, finally gained confidence, and agreed to Li Shimin in one go.
In the end, in the blink of an eye, Li Hui'an lost. She pinched the broken stems with both hands and pouted unhappily.
"If you lose, you must afford to lose. Starting tomorrow, practice a thousand characters, and you must not miss a single word. I will ask my husband to urge you." Li Shimin laughed, but he was in a good mood because of Li Hui'an's stingy appearance .
Li Hui'an yelled twice, rushed into Li Mingda's arms, hugged for comfort, and shouted: "Aye bullied me, bullied me, Nineteenth Sister helped me win over Aye."
"Would you like to play?" Li Shimin asked Li Mingda provocatively, looking sideways.
"If you don't play, you can't afford to lose." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin was stunned, raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mingda with a smile: "Oh? You seem to know what I want to ask you?"
"Nineteenth sister must be afraid that Aye will punish her for writing. If she writes three hundred words a day, her hands will be tired. Aye, why don't you discuss it and reduce it by a hundred?" Li Hui'an said deeply. He looked at Li Shimin very festively, his eyes full of hope.
"You are so beautiful, the king speaks for himself and cannot be changed." Li Shimin refused, and instead of letting Li Mingda off, he asked her why she dared not bet with him.
"Father and daughter are connected. For some reason, I vaguely feel that Aye will definitely make a request to embarrass my son. The risk of losing my son is too high, so I don't gamble." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin was stunned, and said curiously: "You feel right, Aye has something to tell you. But you can't escape this bet or not, why don't you take a gamble and make a deal with Aye, you want to decide for yourself requirements."
"So Aye really has something to embarrass me?" Li Mingda pretended to be surprised.
Li Shimin smiled mysteriously and nodded, "For you, it may not be a bad thing, it depends on your mind."
"Then let's take a gamble, once you can take care of your own business, it will be refreshing." After Li Mingda explored, he picked up Li Hui'an's basket and searched for grass stems carefully.
Li Shimin was very interested and hadn't played enough, so he patiently waited for Li Mingda.The more prepared the opponent is, and earnestly 'preparing for battle', the more interesting the fight will be.
After a while, Li Mingda finally found it. It was a very green grass stem, straight and not soft.
When Li Shimin saw her picking this, he laughed, he didn't expect Li Mingda to grow up so big, and he didn't realize the experience of picking grass stems in the fighting grass.Li Shimin immediately felt that he had won.
"You can think about it."
"I beg Aye to have a good time." Li Mingda grasped both ends of the grass stem with both hands, and did not move.
Li Shimin took his own grass stem and intertwined with Li Mingda's, and then pulled hard, and both of them moved slightly.Li Shimin looked down at his own, and it broke.Look at Li Mingda's one, it's also broken, but it can't be considered completely broken, there is still a little bit of turf attached.
Li Hui'an was startled, stretched his neck to look at Li Shimin's, and then at Li Mingda's.Li Hui'an was overjoyed and clapped his hands: "Sister Nineteen won! I won Aye!"
"Narrow victory!" Li Mingda only held one end of the grass stem, while the other end was dangling in the air.Li Mingda shook his hand, the turf broke, and the other end fell to the ground.
"Sir, I'm lucky this time." Li Mingda immediately tilted his head and smiled coquettishly at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin laughed and said: "No matter what, winning is great. It's late today, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. You sisters, don't play too late, go to bed earlier."
Li Shimin said it, got up and went.
Li Mingda and Li Hui'an sent them off respectfully, and then the two sisters played for a while, and played two games of chess. It was not until Li Hui'an was exhausted and started yawning that Li Mingda stopped, and sent someone to prepare water, take a bath and go to bed .
Li Mingda coaxed Li Hui'an to sleep first, then he leaned against the bed and listened to the movements in the Lizheng Hall.This time, I didn't hear Li Shimin talk about the memorial requesting for the marriage. Li Mingda was also sleepy at the moment, his eyelids were heavy, and after a few yawns, he couldn't help it, and then she also lay down and fell asleep.
The next day, after Li Mingda sent Li Hui'an to class, he went back to his room to practice calligraphy quietly.Today is the morning sun, Li Shimin and Li Zhi and his son left early in the morning, so the current Lizheng Palace is very quiet, even the whispers of the palace people are less than usual.
Although it was late autumn and the weather was already getting cold, Li Mingda asked someone to open the nearby window, and looked up at the sky from time to time, as if waiting for the time to pass.
At noon, the hurried footsteps of the palace people finally came from outside the door.Li Mingda stopped his pen, and hurriedly looked at the person who entered the door. When he heard that it was Li Daliang who had an audience, he immediately agreed.
After Li Daliang invited the gift, he happily presented the two rosters. "Following the clues in that painting, Xiaguan and Cheng Shiwei led people into the mountain to get these two books."
Li Mingda flipped through the book, and saw many familiar names on it, including Du He, Fang Yiai, Li Jingheng and others involved in the case in Chang'an City.
There are two books in the roster, each of which is a bit thick, so naturally it cannot be read all at once.
Li Mingda knew that this roster would be taken back by Li Daliang for future use in the Ministry of Punishment, so he ordered someone to make an accurate copy, and returned the original copy to Li Daliang, and told him to take care of the follow-up matters and not think it was too late If it is, it will be sloppy.
Li Daliang promised repeatedly and sincerely saluted, please rest assured Li Mingda.
Li Mingda sent him away.
Li Daliang hesitated for a while, a bit hesitant.
"Anything else to say?" Li Mingda asked.
"I don't know whether it's appropriate to say it or not. In fact, I went to pick up the painting yesterday. When I came back, I decided to take a look at Fang Shizi's situation. I thought that since your lord was worried about him, I wanted him to say a few words. Don't worry, your lord, I happened to pass on a word along the way. But... but Mr. Fang said he has nothing to say."
After Li Daliang finished speaking, the princess didn't respond, so he knelt down and kowtowed to the princess to make amends, expressing that he shouldn't do anything unnecessary.
"You're meddling in your own business."
Li Daliang kowtowed again and explained that he didn't think much about it at the time, and there was no outsider when he was talking to Fang Yizhi.He was originally out of good intentions, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
"It doesn't matter, you go down." Li Mingda said.
Li Daliang agreed, and then went.
Li Mingda was holding the roster in his hand, and he should have opened it immediately, but his mind was a little messed up, so he temporarily let go of the roster in his hand, rested his chin on his hand, and stared at the front in a daze for a moment.
In the past few days, she was really worried about Fang Yizhi's body, he was poisoned and injured, and she owed him a life, so she should have cared more.As for the other party's response, she shouldn't care about it, so she lowered her eyes and planned to look through the roster.
Suddenly listening to the steady pace, it was Li Shimin who came back from court.
Li Mingda didn't look at the roster at all, and went to have a haircut in front of the bronze mirror.At this time, the person who was ordered to pass the message came, and Li Mingda got up to see Li Shimin.
"Is there anything wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Mingda was stunned, puzzled and said: "Aye called Sizi to come, why did he ask Sizi if he's okay?"
"I heard that the roster of mutual help has been found. Li Daliang and you are back. Have you read the roster? I'm asking if there is anything in it." Li Shimin said.
"It turned out to be this matter. Before my son could read it, he was called by his father." Li Mingda smiled, "There are two thick books, so I have to read them slowly. I have asked Li Daliang to pick up some important summaries. , and present it to Aye as soon as possible."
Li Shimin nodded, and then glanced at the mountain of memorials on the table over there, "It's still my son who knows my heart well, and it would be best to sum up the most important things for me."
Li Shimin sat down after laughing a few times, let his son sit down as well, and mentioned to her about winning or losing the grass fight yesterday.
"Is Aye going to tell me about that troublesome thing?" Li Mingda asked.
"It's a good thing to be disturbed. Aye is thinking that if this marriage really comes, no one can stop it, so let's go along with it." Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda with great interest.
Li Mingda was taken aback, but he didn't expect Li Shimin's attitude to be so good.She clearly remembered that when she heard her father mention the proposal book, she was a little angry. How could her whole attitude change drastically in just one day?
"Marriage?" Li Mingda still pretended not to know about this matter, "Aye, are you thinking about how to drive me out of Taiji Palace as soon as possible?"
"You can't say it so harshly. My daughter's family always wants to get married. Aye is planning for you as soon as possible. I will find the best one for you and prepare it first. When you are old, or you want to marry yourself Then, you will leave the palace again." Li Shimin said happily, obviously he is very satisfied with this 'marriage' right now.
Li Mingda was not very concerned about this matter before, and felt that with her father's temperament, he would not easily fall in love with someone to be her son-in-law.But seeing Li Shimin's happy face now, Li Mingda felt a little flustered in his heart. I was afraid that if Li Shimin was too happy, he would impulsively make a decision for her.
When Li Shimin was at his happiest, she naturally couldn't refute it.Li Mingda hurriedly brought a cup of tea to Li Shimin. After he drank the tea and his joy dissipated, Li Mingda proceeded step by step and asked about the process first.
From Li Shimin's fragmentary words, Li Mingda roughly summed up what happened at that time.
When the world was uncertain, Li Shimin and Cui Shuzhong had some friendship.When fighting the world, Cui Shuzhong helped Li Shimin.I don't know how he was rushing to talk at that time, but Li Shimin promised that he would marry the Cui family after he became a great career in the future.In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin met him again and gave him a banquet and wine. Uncle Cui repeatedly mentioned this matter.Li Shimin thought he was drinking happily, so he looked at the young Princess Jinyang and promised the marriage.
"I remember that Cui Shuzhong always praised you for being cute and cute, and he liked you very much." Li Shimin recalled, and then he introduced Cui Liulang to Li Mingda in detail, who is also the sixth son of the current Zhongshulang Cui Gan, named Qingji, Now it is very famous in Boling area.
Cui Qingji logically said that he should have stayed in Chang'an City like Cui Qian's other sons.But Cui Shuzhong took a fancy to him because he was so handsome and lovable, so he took him back to his hometown in Boling to raise him himself.
The Boling Cui family is the most powerful among the gentry, even in troubled times, they can still stand tall after going through several dynasties.They have money, power, connections, and education. Their families have been officials for many generations, and their roots are very deep. It is precisely because of this that their children can be easily recommended and quickly promoted.With such a virtuous cycle going back and forth, the power of the family gradually became stronger, and even had the power to overwhelm the world.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the Cui family in this way.This is also the reason why Gao Shilian, Cen Wenwen and others first ranked the Boling Cui family first when they compiled the "Clan History".But because of this, the saint was angered. In the end, because of Li Shimin's interference, the royal Li family and the eldest grandson's family were ranked first and second, and the Boling Cui family was placed third, which calmed Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.
But it can also be explained from the side that the Cui family has become so powerful that Li Shimin wants to be jealous, which shows how powerful it is.
Li Mingda didn't know what made Li Shimin change his attitude suddenly, but she had a feeling that his father was just impulsive.So she was not annoyed, but just smiled and comforted Li Shimin with a good temper, "Think about it again, my father also said, let's choose to see first, and I haven't seen anyone yet. Besides, Si is still young, so I don't worry about it for a while. .”
Li Shimin thought about it too, and he also remembered that he lost to Li Mingda during the grass fight, so he just followed her and didn't speak in advance.
Two days later, Li Daliang divided all the people on the roster according to their importance levels and presented them to Li Shimin.When Li Shimin saw the names of Du He, Fang Yiai and others again, he felt quite annoyed and ashamed, and he didn't want to take another look, so he just sent Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji to punish them as appropriate.
"Let this matter be over as soon as possible, I don't want to hear the words of helping each other in the future." Li Shimin said angrily.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji hurriedly took orders, and immediately withdrew with Li Daliang, and the three immediately punished some of the people involved in the case on the list.Compared with the powerful ministers involved in the case in Chang'an City, those outside the city are relatively easier to deal with. They are all small officials and ordinary people.
……
On this day, an autumn rain suddenly came, and the torrential rain came down, with a gust of wind, and the humidity in the room was extremely heavy.Hearing the roar of wind and tigers outside the window, I suddenly thought it was winter.
Princess Changshan was already seriously ill, but because of the weather, her health became worse and worse. Even if the house was heated by a charcoal fire, it was not comfortable after all.Due to repeated fevers, she did not eat a bite of food for three days.Li Shimin, Li Mingda and others came to see her several times, but at first she could force a smile and brace herself to cope.Later, I gradually lay on the couch, unable to move much.Li Shimin also didn't allow her to move, but just blindly comforted her with gentle words, so that she would recover sooner, so that she could go out to play with her sisters, and dance up and down like before, haha.
"Don't think that Aye doesn't know that you are naughty behind your back, climbing trees and jumping over walls... I know everything, but I don't want to restrain you." Li Shimin grabbed Li Yumin's hot hand with heartache, his eyes turned red, "It's out of respect Aye is filial, you should get better too. Aye forbids you to walk ahead of Aye, do you hear me?"
Li Yumin shed tears, and nodded slightly, it was really just slightly, and it was very difficult.Only Li Mingda could detect her movements.Li Shimin didn't see it, but he only saw Li Yumin crying, and his heart ached even more, and he couldn't stop crying.
Li Mingda cried until his eyes were full of tears, and asked Imperial Physician Gao and others to find a way to cure Princess Changshan.
Doctor Gao frowned tightly. Although he accepted the order, it could be seen from his expression that Li Yumin's illness might not be curable.
After returning to Lizheng Hall, Imperial Physician Gao was summoned by Li Shimin again.After Li Mingda entered the room, she leaned against the door, and when she heard the words "invading the internal organs, it won't survive the winter", her whole body trembled instantly, and then her legs felt weak, and she squatted on the ground, All Li Yumin's smiles came to mind, those heartless smiles.
Li Mingda couldn't help it no matter what, she sniffled, then turned around and rushed out of the Lizheng Hall, to stay with Li Yumin all the time.Li Mingda's actions startled the palace people, and immediately startled Li Shimin.Li Shimin also came out, wanting to accompany Li Mingda, when he saw Li Yumin's big palace lady stumbling over, knelt down with tears on her face, and reported the funeral.
Princess Changshan is dead.
Until the funeral was over, Li Mingda was in a daze, his mind was buzzing, and he felt that he was not himself.
When Li Shimin was sad, he was afraid that his other daughter would be overworked, so he quickly asked someone to protect Li Mingda, and also ordered the imperial doctor to check Li Mingda's pulse every day to report his safety, so he could feel at ease.
Li Shimin didn't know why, since Li Yumin's death, he dreamed of the eldest grandson queen for days, so thinking about the imprisoned prince, Li Shimin's heart ached even more.Li Shimin then re-examined Li Chengqian, after several tosses, seeing that the prince's repentance was very sincere, and also considering that Li Chengqian had self-reflected and reformed before the incident happened, and cut off contact with the Dazan cadres, Li Shimin finally gave him a chance to reform.This is not only because of the dream of the eldest grandson queen, but also another reason is that Li Shimin, who has suffered the pain of losing his daughter, does not want to be hit by the loss of his son one after another.
But Li Chengqian still has to stay in the East Palace, he needs to think about it every day, and he won't have the chance to show up before the New Year.
As the new year approaches, officials from all over the country continue to offer gifts to the palace to celebrate the New Year.The palace began to be lively, and the lanterns were hung to prepare for the New Year's Eve.
On the other hand, Li Mingda wrote quietly inside the house, without any influence from the festive hustle and bustle outside.
The words are written crookedly, and they are not dedicated enough.
At this moment, Li Mingda heard Li Daliang's voice coming from the Legislative Hall.
There was a public grievance in Gyeongju, and Li Daliang took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Gyeongju to deal with the matter.
Li Shimin saw that he had asked Ying to leave Chang'an at the end of the year and would not spend the festive season with his family. He appreciated his diligence and dedication to the people very much, so he immediately agreed and granted Li Daliang many powers.
After Li Daliang resigned, he left the Qianhuamen all the way.Suddenly it was snowing, he looked up at the sky, lowered his head and turned his eyes, and saw a beautiful figure standing by the wall of the East Palace, wearing a white cloak with a red fox collar, like a fairy flying down from the sky.At this moment, the 'fairy' was looking at him with dark eyes.
Li Daliang hurried forward to greet Princess Jinyang.
"It's the end of the year, what are you doing here?"
Li Daliang hurriedly told Li Mingda the truth about his plan to leave for Gyeongju tomorrow.
Li Mingda was silent for a while, and then asked Li Daliang, "Where do you think is the best place for young men and women in Chang'an City to meet privately?"
"This..." Li Daliang said with an embarrassed smile, "To be honest, it should be in a Taoist temple. Both men and women go there in a legitimate way, and it is safe to find a quiet place to meet and say a few words after paying the Taoist priests."
Li Mingda nodded as if he had realized something, then looked around, beckoned Li Daliang to take a step closer, and whispered to him: "I still remember the last time you wanted to send a message for Fang Shizi, but was rejected in the end, you still have some Dissatisfied."
"Don't dare." Li Daliang smiled embarrassedly.
"Today you pass a message to him for me, just to calm your dissatisfaction."
Li Daliang was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mingda with some surprise, and hurriedly saluted, expressing that as long as the princess needed something, he would definitely deliver it.
"Tell him, see you at Plum Blossom Temple, you must see him, don't disappoint the good intentions of the messenger." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he glanced at Li Daliang, told him to keep it secret, and asked him if he could do it.
Li Daliang nodded excitedly, agreed and said yes, and then couldn't help but said happily: "I used to think that your lord and Fang Shizi are suitable, and I sincerely wish you two."
"Okay, let's go."
After Li Mingda finished speaking, he turned and left.
The next day, Fang Yizhi rode his horse and led people away from Liang Guogong's mansion at dawn.
An hour later, Princess Jinyang also went to Plum Blossom Temple to offer incense in a luxurious carriage.
When the carriage reached a small forest on the way to the Plum Blossom Temple, it was suddenly ambushed, and the princess's carriage, including the carriage and the horse, sank into a deep hole in the middle of the road.It was strange, the accompanying guards rode forward on horseback, nothing happened, but the trap collapsed as soon as the carriage passed by.
At the same time, Li Daliang, who had just been ordered to take office in Dingzhou, also came out of the mansion in a carriage, but his carriage was stopped by guards as soon as he drove a step away from the mansion.
Li Daliang poked his head out of the carriage in puzzlement and asked the guards blocking the carriage why they did this.
"Naturally, I want to invite Li Shilang to Dali Temple." Fang Yizhi rode a horse in a dignified manner, and appeared from behind the guards.
Li Daliang was surprised when he saw Fang Yizhi, and was about to ask him why he was here, when he saw another man appearing on a horse, dressed in black clothes, slightly handsome, but at this moment he smiled sweetly.
Princess Jinyang.
Li Daliang's eyes widened, "Your lord and son, you are not..."
Li Mingda: "I originally planned to go to Plum Blossom Temple, but suddenly there is a question that has been puzzling me."
Li Daliang looked at Li Mingda, wondering why she was confused.
"I want to know what your Tubo name is, is it also called Li Daliang, or 'True Master of Mutual Help', or Dazan Gampo's son?"
Coincidentally, the direction where the princess' ears are facing is exactly where the Lizheng Palace is located.Tian Hanshan immediately thought that the princess seemed to have such actions many times before.Tian Hanshan shook his head, and suddenly understood, could it be that the princess can hear the conversation of the Lizheng Palace?
Tian Hanshan immediately looked at Li Mingda in surprise.
Li Mingda came back to his senses and stared at Tian Hanshan.
Tian Hanshan took a sneak peek at Li Mingda, quickly shrunk his neck, lowered his head, his mind resounded with the exhortations of the noble lord to him before, and he became more quiet and honest.
Li Mingda is still looking at Tian Hanshan.
Tian Hanshan felt a chill down his spine, and explained to Li Mingda tremblingly: "I don't know anything, I don't see anything, I really don't see anything."
After a while of silence, Tian Hanshan still didn't hear your lord's voice, and slowly raised his head to look at her.
Li Mingda looked at him funny: "What did you see?"
"No, no, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything." Tian Hanshan knelt down tremblingly and slapped himself.
"Stop messing around, get up." Seeing Tian Hanshan like this, Li Mingda knew that he knew it, sighed, and asked Tian Hanshan to continue talking about Princess Changshan, "What's wrong?"
It was only then that Tian Hanshu realized that the princess seemed puzzled at first, but because of her guilty conscience, she confessed everything.
"It must be the wind and cold, my body is so hot that I can't eat any food." Tian Hanxiu said.
Li Mingda's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately went to see Princess Changshan Li Yumin.Before Li Mingda arrived, he heard Li Yumin coughing.
Li Mingda quickly walked into the room to check on Li Yumin who was lying in front of the bed. She had a sickly face and a pale complexion, but her cheeks were flushed due to fever and she coughed frequently. He coughed violently again, as if he wanted to cough up his heart, liver and lungs.
Li Mingda quickly went to help her, patted her on the back, asked someone to bring water, and fed her himself.
"You were fine the past two days, why did you become so sick all of a sudden?" Li Mingda sighed while stroking Li Yumin's back, "Sisters count you as the most lively, and you usually carry Aye on your back. Wall climbing trees, logically, your body and bones should be better than us."
Li Yumin wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued to lie on the couch, "Isn't this just in response to that sentence, the illness comes like a mountain?"
"There are still mental jokes, so let me rest assured." Li Mingda asked the palace servants around Li Yumin which imperial physician he had invited to see and what medicine he had prescribed, and then told them, "Since the cough is severe and it stops Don't stop, don't drink any water, boil some loquat juice."
The palace people immediately agreed.
"It's time for Imperial Physician Gao to check the pulse every day. After taking the medicine for a day, the fever still hasn't subsided. Is it useless, and the medicine should be changed?" Li Mingda said, and sent Tian Hanshan to invite someone to come.
"Don't be like this, I have tossed the imperial physician twice last night because I was uncomfortable. It's just an occasional typhoid fever, and autumn and winter change, and many people have this. Just sleep and sweat a little. It's okay to toss the imperial physician again. I am not a big princess, but I am extremely spoiled."
"What's this called? The princess's position is not very important, what is it? Could it be that they are too big in the hospital? Who said such a thing, it should be called Haosheng Theory." Li Mingda asked angrily.
Li Yumin hurriedly pulled Li Mingda, and said anxiously: "It's not what the people in the Tai Hospital said. Don't wrong the wrong person, Nineteenth Sister. In fact, it's the same reason. Nineteenth Sister is from the Empress, so everything should be done." I am different, although I am a princess, I still have a lower family background, and I am not appreciated by others, even if those people don’t say anything, I can’t understand what is going on in their hearts." Li Yumin lowered her eyes and said with a helpless voice. Said.
"What's the matter with you? I used to see you carelessly, but I didn't think about it. Why now..."
"That's because my nineteenth sister was deceived by my pretended appearance. I actually care about it. I care more than anyone else in my heart, but I am afraid that this temper will be offensive, so I pretend to be heartless." Li Yumin smiled wryly, grabbed Holding Li Mingda's hand, "Would Nineteenth Sister not like to get along with me because of me?"
"Of course not, don't think too much about it, so you can recover from your illness. I don't know where you heard the gossip, but I only know one thing. Those who gossip about you must not be born as high as you. A daughter in this world, alone In terms of background, who can compare to the emperor's daughter? You pay attention to what those narrow-minded, sour-mouthed people do. Otherwise, if someone bullies you, tell me, and I will help you."
Li Mingda was a little annoyed when he heard Li Yumin say this, but seeing that Li Yumin didn't reveal the source of the news, Li Mingda didn't want to force her, but he was afraid that if he forced her, she would become even more ill due to anxiety.
Li Yumin nodded and didn't say anything in the end, but he listened to Li Mingda's persuasion and stopped mentioning it.Not long after, Li Mingda saw that her head was sweating, and her cheeks became even more flushed.Li Mingda was really worried about her condition, so he called Doctor Gao.
As soon as Imperial Physician Gao checked the pulse, he said that Li Yumin's wind-cold disease was serious and he needed to reduce the fever as soon as possible.Immediately, a new prescription was prescribed, and the palace servants were instructed to apply cold water to the head if the fever persisted.Immediately afterwards, Imperial Physician Gao instructed the palace staff to observe Princess Changshan's condition at all times, and also advised Princess Changshan to rest well and eat as much as possible, so that the disease will recover faster.
Princess Changshan and the palace officials agreed one by one, and Imperial Physician Gao stepped down.
Seeing Li Yumin's tired face and drooping eyelids, Li Mingda advised her to take a good rest.When Princess Changshan closed her eyes and fell asleep, Li Mingda quietly got up and left.
Immediately, Li Hui'an, Princess of Hengshan, also came in a hurry. After seeing Li Mingda, Li Hui'an hurried to Li Mingda and held Li Mingda's hand.
Li Hui'an blinked her black and white eyes, "How is Miss Twenty?"
"Wind and cold disease, rest now, you don't want to go, go back with me." Li Mingda grabbed Li Hui'an's hand and walked back, Li Hui'an looked in the direction of Li Yumin's bedroom, eyes A look of worry flickered.
"What's wrong?" Li Mingda sensed that Li Hui'an's expression was wrong.
Li Hui'an hesitated for a while, then raised his head and asked Li Mingda: "Did the [-]th sister say anything to the [-]th sister just now?"
"What?" Li Mingda asked Li Hui'an puzzled.
Li Hui'an pursed his lips, "I don't mean anything, but I always feel that Miss Twenty is unhappy recently. Last time I went to the garden to play, I happened to meet her, and saw her squatting behind a tree and secretly wiping tears. No matter how much you try to persuade her, it’s not good. I wanted to persuade her, but I was afraid that she would lose face, so I didn’t dare to go. Then I pulled me to try and ask her if she was in a good mood, and she was the same as before, laughing and laughing Smile at me, heartless, I just pretended nothing happened. But the day before yesterday I went to see her again, I was naughty, and rushed into the house before the report was over, and saw her wipe her eyes with her hand, His eyes were also red, as if he had just cried."
"Then you still didn't ask this time?"
Li Hui'an nodded, then shook his head again.She pouted slightly, and looked at Li Mingda aggrievedly.
"I asked her what's the matter, and she said it's okay, but the wind blinded her eyes. Seeing her forced smile, I couldn't bear to ask any more!"
After Li Hui'an finished speaking, he admitted his mistake and bowed his head to Li Mingda.
Li Mingda knew what kind of temperament Li Hui'an was, he was soft-hearted and the easiest to be persuaded, and she especially cared about the feelings of those she respected and liked.
Li Mingda poked Li Hui'an's forehead with his hand, admonishing her not to do this next time.
"You don't need to make amends, there is nothing wrong with your kindness." Li Mingda touched Li Hui'an's smiling face, smiled and continued to walk back holding her hand.
After the two returned to the Lizheng Hall together, they learned that Li Shimin was not there, so the two sisters had dinner first, and then sat on the bed to play grass fighting.
A small bamboo frame was placed beside the two of them. The basket was wrapped with a layer of cloth, and a handful of picked grass stems were placed inside.The two took one from their respective baskets to test the toughness of the stem.Each person holds one in their hand, the grass stems are intertwined, and each pulls back with his own end. The one who breaks is the loser, and the loser must give the winner a gold leaf.This game is too old for Li Mingda, but it is rare that Li Huian likes it, and Li Mingda is also happy to play with her.
Li Hui'an is still the age where all emotions are shown on his face.After winning once, she danced happily and showed off to Li Mingda with the gold leaf, as if she would become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty in the next moment.When he lost, he pouted and pouted, looking very unhappy, and then continued the competition early with high spirits and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Li Mingda was envious of Li Hui'an's way of being happy about a little thing, and was soon infected by her emotions, and also laughed happily.
After Li Shimin came back from Liangyi Hall, he felt tired, and planned to go directly to Lizheng Hall to rest, but Li Mingda's room was brightly lit, and a girl's laughter could be faintly heard inside.
The palace people nearby also informed that Princess Hengshan is here today and will stay here tonight.Li Shimin raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and headed towards Li Mingda's room.Immediately, the palace people continued to report back, saying that Princess Changshan was in poor health, and the two princesses had gone to visit earlier.
Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he hurriedly asked, "How?"
"The wind-cold disease is still feverish, but it doesn't seem to be getting better. Princess Jinyang has already invited Imperial Physician Gao to see her and changed her medicine. It should be effective."
Li Shimin gave a "hmm", and then Fang Qirui reminded himself tomorrow that he had time to visit Princess Changshan.
Fang Qirui humbly bowed and agreed.
Li Shimin smiled and strode to Li Mingda's place. The two children had already stood in the middle of the room and saluted him.
"What are you playing? It's so fun." Li Shimin squinted and saw two baskets of grass on the bed, and immediately understood what they were playing.
"The half-green and half-yellow grass in autumn is the strongest, and it's very exciting to fight. Do you want to compete with Huian?" Li Mingda asked.
Li Shimin said with great interest: "Okay, I will play with you."
Li Shimin immediately fiddled with the basket twice with his hands, and selected a slender and black-colored grass stalk.
"What can you say about winning or losing?" Li Hui'an looked at Li Shimin with bright eyes.
Li Shimin laughed and said: "You won, I will give you whatever I want. But what if Aye wins?"
"Then Hui'an will give whatever Aye wants, as long as Hui'an has it." Li Hui'an said.
Li Shimin didn't need to think too much, and immediately said to Li Hui'an: "Your handwriting is poor, so you can practice [-] words every day until the end of the year, is it feasible?"
"This," Li Hui'an hesitated for a moment, then fiddled with the grass stems in his basket, found the thickest and most satisfying one, finally gained confidence, and agreed to Li Shimin in one go.
In the end, in the blink of an eye, Li Hui'an lost. She pinched the broken stems with both hands and pouted unhappily.
"If you lose, you must afford to lose. Starting tomorrow, practice a thousand characters, and you must not miss a single word. I will ask my husband to urge you." Li Shimin laughed, but he was in a good mood because of Li Hui'an's stingy appearance .
Li Hui'an yelled twice, rushed into Li Mingda's arms, hugged for comfort, and shouted: "Aye bullied me, bullied me, Nineteenth Sister helped me win over Aye."
"Would you like to play?" Li Shimin asked Li Mingda provocatively, looking sideways.
"If you don't play, you can't afford to lose." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin was stunned, raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mingda with a smile: "Oh? You seem to know what I want to ask you?"
"Nineteenth sister must be afraid that Aye will punish her for writing. If she writes three hundred words a day, her hands will be tired. Aye, why don't you discuss it and reduce it by a hundred?" Li Hui'an said deeply. He looked at Li Shimin very festively, his eyes full of hope.
"You are so beautiful, the king speaks for himself and cannot be changed." Li Shimin refused, and instead of letting Li Mingda off, he asked her why she dared not bet with him.
"Father and daughter are connected. For some reason, I vaguely feel that Aye will definitely make a request to embarrass my son. The risk of losing my son is too high, so I don't gamble." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin was stunned, and said curiously: "You feel right, Aye has something to tell you. But you can't escape this bet or not, why don't you take a gamble and make a deal with Aye, you want to decide for yourself requirements."
"So Aye really has something to embarrass me?" Li Mingda pretended to be surprised.
Li Shimin smiled mysteriously and nodded, "For you, it may not be a bad thing, it depends on your mind."
"Then let's take a gamble, once you can take care of your own business, it will be refreshing." After Li Mingda explored, he picked up Li Hui'an's basket and searched for grass stems carefully.
Li Shimin was very interested and hadn't played enough, so he patiently waited for Li Mingda.The more prepared the opponent is, and earnestly 'preparing for battle', the more interesting the fight will be.
After a while, Li Mingda finally found it. It was a very green grass stem, straight and not soft.
When Li Shimin saw her picking this, he laughed, he didn't expect Li Mingda to grow up so big, and he didn't realize the experience of picking grass stems in the fighting grass.Li Shimin immediately felt that he had won.
"You can think about it."
"I beg Aye to have a good time." Li Mingda grasped both ends of the grass stem with both hands, and did not move.
Li Shimin took his own grass stem and intertwined with Li Mingda's, and then pulled hard, and both of them moved slightly.Li Shimin looked down at his own, and it broke.Look at Li Mingda's one, it's also broken, but it can't be considered completely broken, there is still a little bit of turf attached.
Li Hui'an was startled, stretched his neck to look at Li Shimin's, and then at Li Mingda's.Li Hui'an was overjoyed and clapped his hands: "Sister Nineteen won! I won Aye!"
"Narrow victory!" Li Mingda only held one end of the grass stem, while the other end was dangling in the air.Li Mingda shook his hand, the turf broke, and the other end fell to the ground.
"Sir, I'm lucky this time." Li Mingda immediately tilted his head and smiled coquettishly at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin laughed and said: "No matter what, winning is great. It's late today, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. You sisters, don't play too late, go to bed earlier."
Li Shimin said it, got up and went.
Li Mingda and Li Hui'an sent them off respectfully, and then the two sisters played for a while, and played two games of chess. It was not until Li Hui'an was exhausted and started yawning that Li Mingda stopped, and sent someone to prepare water, take a bath and go to bed .
Li Mingda coaxed Li Hui'an to sleep first, then he leaned against the bed and listened to the movements in the Lizheng Hall.This time, I didn't hear Li Shimin talk about the memorial requesting for the marriage. Li Mingda was also sleepy at the moment, his eyelids were heavy, and after a few yawns, he couldn't help it, and then she also lay down and fell asleep.
The next day, after Li Mingda sent Li Hui'an to class, he went back to his room to practice calligraphy quietly.Today is the morning sun, Li Shimin and Li Zhi and his son left early in the morning, so the current Lizheng Palace is very quiet, even the whispers of the palace people are less than usual.
Although it was late autumn and the weather was already getting cold, Li Mingda asked someone to open the nearby window, and looked up at the sky from time to time, as if waiting for the time to pass.
At noon, the hurried footsteps of the palace people finally came from outside the door.Li Mingda stopped his pen, and hurriedly looked at the person who entered the door. When he heard that it was Li Daliang who had an audience, he immediately agreed.
After Li Daliang invited the gift, he happily presented the two rosters. "Following the clues in that painting, Xiaguan and Cheng Shiwei led people into the mountain to get these two books."
Li Mingda flipped through the book, and saw many familiar names on it, including Du He, Fang Yiai, Li Jingheng and others involved in the case in Chang'an City.
There are two books in the roster, each of which is a bit thick, so naturally it cannot be read all at once.
Li Mingda knew that this roster would be taken back by Li Daliang for future use in the Ministry of Punishment, so he ordered someone to make an accurate copy, and returned the original copy to Li Daliang, and told him to take care of the follow-up matters and not think it was too late If it is, it will be sloppy.
Li Daliang promised repeatedly and sincerely saluted, please rest assured Li Mingda.
Li Mingda sent him away.
Li Daliang hesitated for a while, a bit hesitant.
"Anything else to say?" Li Mingda asked.
"I don't know whether it's appropriate to say it or not. In fact, I went to pick up the painting yesterday. When I came back, I decided to take a look at Fang Shizi's situation. I thought that since your lord was worried about him, I wanted him to say a few words. Don't worry, your lord, I happened to pass on a word along the way. But... but Mr. Fang said he has nothing to say."
After Li Daliang finished speaking, the princess didn't respond, so he knelt down and kowtowed to the princess to make amends, expressing that he shouldn't do anything unnecessary.
"You're meddling in your own business."
Li Daliang kowtowed again and explained that he didn't think much about it at the time, and there was no outsider when he was talking to Fang Yizhi.He was originally out of good intentions, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
"It doesn't matter, you go down." Li Mingda said.
Li Daliang agreed, and then went.
Li Mingda was holding the roster in his hand, and he should have opened it immediately, but his mind was a little messed up, so he temporarily let go of the roster in his hand, rested his chin on his hand, and stared at the front in a daze for a moment.
In the past few days, she was really worried about Fang Yizhi's body, he was poisoned and injured, and she owed him a life, so she should have cared more.As for the other party's response, she shouldn't care about it, so she lowered her eyes and planned to look through the roster.
Suddenly listening to the steady pace, it was Li Shimin who came back from court.
Li Mingda didn't look at the roster at all, and went to have a haircut in front of the bronze mirror.At this time, the person who was ordered to pass the message came, and Li Mingda got up to see Li Shimin.
"Is there anything wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Mingda was stunned, puzzled and said: "Aye called Sizi to come, why did he ask Sizi if he's okay?"
"I heard that the roster of mutual help has been found. Li Daliang and you are back. Have you read the roster? I'm asking if there is anything in it." Li Shimin said.
"It turned out to be this matter. Before my son could read it, he was called by his father." Li Mingda smiled, "There are two thick books, so I have to read them slowly. I have asked Li Daliang to pick up some important summaries. , and present it to Aye as soon as possible."
Li Shimin nodded, and then glanced at the mountain of memorials on the table over there, "It's still my son who knows my heart well, and it would be best to sum up the most important things for me."
Li Shimin sat down after laughing a few times, let his son sit down as well, and mentioned to her about winning or losing the grass fight yesterday.
"Is Aye going to tell me about that troublesome thing?" Li Mingda asked.
"It's a good thing to be disturbed. Aye is thinking that if this marriage really comes, no one can stop it, so let's go along with it." Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda with great interest.
Li Mingda was taken aback, but he didn't expect Li Shimin's attitude to be so good.She clearly remembered that when she heard her father mention the proposal book, she was a little angry. How could her whole attitude change drastically in just one day?
"Marriage?" Li Mingda still pretended not to know about this matter, "Aye, are you thinking about how to drive me out of Taiji Palace as soon as possible?"
"You can't say it so harshly. My daughter's family always wants to get married. Aye is planning for you as soon as possible. I will find the best one for you and prepare it first. When you are old, or you want to marry yourself Then, you will leave the palace again." Li Shimin said happily, obviously he is very satisfied with this 'marriage' right now.
Li Mingda was not very concerned about this matter before, and felt that with her father's temperament, he would not easily fall in love with someone to be her son-in-law.But seeing Li Shimin's happy face now, Li Mingda felt a little flustered in his heart. I was afraid that if Li Shimin was too happy, he would impulsively make a decision for her.
When Li Shimin was at his happiest, she naturally couldn't refute it.Li Mingda hurriedly brought a cup of tea to Li Shimin. After he drank the tea and his joy dissipated, Li Mingda proceeded step by step and asked about the process first.
From Li Shimin's fragmentary words, Li Mingda roughly summed up what happened at that time.
When the world was uncertain, Li Shimin and Cui Shuzhong had some friendship.When fighting the world, Cui Shuzhong helped Li Shimin.I don't know how he was rushing to talk at that time, but Li Shimin promised that he would marry the Cui family after he became a great career in the future.In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin met him again and gave him a banquet and wine. Uncle Cui repeatedly mentioned this matter.Li Shimin thought he was drinking happily, so he looked at the young Princess Jinyang and promised the marriage.
"I remember that Cui Shuzhong always praised you for being cute and cute, and he liked you very much." Li Shimin recalled, and then he introduced Cui Liulang to Li Mingda in detail, who is also the sixth son of the current Zhongshulang Cui Gan, named Qingji, Now it is very famous in Boling area.
Cui Qingji logically said that he should have stayed in Chang'an City like Cui Qian's other sons.But Cui Shuzhong took a fancy to him because he was so handsome and lovable, so he took him back to his hometown in Boling to raise him himself.
The Boling Cui family is the most powerful among the gentry, even in troubled times, they can still stand tall after going through several dynasties.They have money, power, connections, and education. Their families have been officials for many generations, and their roots are very deep. It is precisely because of this that their children can be easily recommended and quickly promoted.With such a virtuous cycle going back and forth, the power of the family gradually became stronger, and even had the power to overwhelm the world.
It is not an exaggeration to describe the Cui family in this way.This is also the reason why Gao Shilian, Cen Wenwen and others first ranked the Boling Cui family first when they compiled the "Clan History".But because of this, the saint was angered. In the end, because of Li Shimin's interference, the royal Li family and the eldest grandson's family were ranked first and second, and the Boling Cui family was placed third, which calmed Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.
But it can also be explained from the side that the Cui family has become so powerful that Li Shimin wants to be jealous, which shows how powerful it is.
Li Mingda didn't know what made Li Shimin change his attitude suddenly, but she had a feeling that his father was just impulsive.So she was not annoyed, but just smiled and comforted Li Shimin with a good temper, "Think about it again, my father also said, let's choose to see first, and I haven't seen anyone yet. Besides, Si is still young, so I don't worry about it for a while. .”
Li Shimin thought about it too, and he also remembered that he lost to Li Mingda during the grass fight, so he just followed her and didn't speak in advance.
Two days later, Li Daliang divided all the people on the roster according to their importance levels and presented them to Li Shimin.When Li Shimin saw the names of Du He, Fang Yiai and others again, he felt quite annoyed and ashamed, and he didn't want to take another look, so he just sent Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji to punish them as appropriate.
"Let this matter be over as soon as possible, I don't want to hear the words of helping each other in the future." Li Shimin said angrily.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji hurriedly took orders, and immediately withdrew with Li Daliang, and the three immediately punished some of the people involved in the case on the list.Compared with the powerful ministers involved in the case in Chang'an City, those outside the city are relatively easier to deal with. They are all small officials and ordinary people.
……
On this day, an autumn rain suddenly came, and the torrential rain came down, with a gust of wind, and the humidity in the room was extremely heavy.Hearing the roar of wind and tigers outside the window, I suddenly thought it was winter.
Princess Changshan was already seriously ill, but because of the weather, her health became worse and worse. Even if the house was heated by a charcoal fire, it was not comfortable after all.Due to repeated fevers, she did not eat a bite of food for three days.Li Shimin, Li Mingda and others came to see her several times, but at first she could force a smile and brace herself to cope.Later, I gradually lay on the couch, unable to move much.Li Shimin also didn't allow her to move, but just blindly comforted her with gentle words, so that she would recover sooner, so that she could go out to play with her sisters, and dance up and down like before, haha.
"Don't think that Aye doesn't know that you are naughty behind your back, climbing trees and jumping over walls... I know everything, but I don't want to restrain you." Li Shimin grabbed Li Yumin's hot hand with heartache, his eyes turned red, "It's out of respect Aye is filial, you should get better too. Aye forbids you to walk ahead of Aye, do you hear me?"
Li Yumin shed tears, and nodded slightly, it was really just slightly, and it was very difficult.Only Li Mingda could detect her movements.Li Shimin didn't see it, but he only saw Li Yumin crying, and his heart ached even more, and he couldn't stop crying.
Li Mingda cried until his eyes were full of tears, and asked Imperial Physician Gao and others to find a way to cure Princess Changshan.
Doctor Gao frowned tightly. Although he accepted the order, it could be seen from his expression that Li Yumin's illness might not be curable.
After returning to Lizheng Hall, Imperial Physician Gao was summoned by Li Shimin again.After Li Mingda entered the room, she leaned against the door, and when she heard the words "invading the internal organs, it won't survive the winter", her whole body trembled instantly, and then her legs felt weak, and she squatted on the ground, All Li Yumin's smiles came to mind, those heartless smiles.
Li Mingda couldn't help it no matter what, she sniffled, then turned around and rushed out of the Lizheng Hall, to stay with Li Yumin all the time.Li Mingda's actions startled the palace people, and immediately startled Li Shimin.Li Shimin also came out, wanting to accompany Li Mingda, when he saw Li Yumin's big palace lady stumbling over, knelt down with tears on her face, and reported the funeral.
Princess Changshan is dead.
Until the funeral was over, Li Mingda was in a daze, his mind was buzzing, and he felt that he was not himself.
When Li Shimin was sad, he was afraid that his other daughter would be overworked, so he quickly asked someone to protect Li Mingda, and also ordered the imperial doctor to check Li Mingda's pulse every day to report his safety, so he could feel at ease.
Li Shimin didn't know why, since Li Yumin's death, he dreamed of the eldest grandson queen for days, so thinking about the imprisoned prince, Li Shimin's heart ached even more.Li Shimin then re-examined Li Chengqian, after several tosses, seeing that the prince's repentance was very sincere, and also considering that Li Chengqian had self-reflected and reformed before the incident happened, and cut off contact with the Dazan cadres, Li Shimin finally gave him a chance to reform.This is not only because of the dream of the eldest grandson queen, but also another reason is that Li Shimin, who has suffered the pain of losing his daughter, does not want to be hit by the loss of his son one after another.
But Li Chengqian still has to stay in the East Palace, he needs to think about it every day, and he won't have the chance to show up before the New Year.
As the new year approaches, officials from all over the country continue to offer gifts to the palace to celebrate the New Year.The palace began to be lively, and the lanterns were hung to prepare for the New Year's Eve.
On the other hand, Li Mingda wrote quietly inside the house, without any influence from the festive hustle and bustle outside.
The words are written crookedly, and they are not dedicated enough.
At this moment, Li Mingda heard Li Daliang's voice coming from the Legislative Hall.
There was a public grievance in Gyeongju, and Li Daliang took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Gyeongju to deal with the matter.
Li Shimin saw that he had asked Ying to leave Chang'an at the end of the year and would not spend the festive season with his family. He appreciated his diligence and dedication to the people very much, so he immediately agreed and granted Li Daliang many powers.
After Li Daliang resigned, he left the Qianhuamen all the way.Suddenly it was snowing, he looked up at the sky, lowered his head and turned his eyes, and saw a beautiful figure standing by the wall of the East Palace, wearing a white cloak with a red fox collar, like a fairy flying down from the sky.At this moment, the 'fairy' was looking at him with dark eyes.
Li Daliang hurried forward to greet Princess Jinyang.
"It's the end of the year, what are you doing here?"
Li Daliang hurriedly told Li Mingda the truth about his plan to leave for Gyeongju tomorrow.
Li Mingda was silent for a while, and then asked Li Daliang, "Where do you think is the best place for young men and women in Chang'an City to meet privately?"
"This..." Li Daliang said with an embarrassed smile, "To be honest, it should be in a Taoist temple. Both men and women go there in a legitimate way, and it is safe to find a quiet place to meet and say a few words after paying the Taoist priests."
Li Mingda nodded as if he had realized something, then looked around, beckoned Li Daliang to take a step closer, and whispered to him: "I still remember the last time you wanted to send a message for Fang Shizi, but was rejected in the end, you still have some Dissatisfied."
"Don't dare." Li Daliang smiled embarrassedly.
"Today you pass a message to him for me, just to calm your dissatisfaction."
Li Daliang was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Mingda with some surprise, and hurriedly saluted, expressing that as long as the princess needed something, he would definitely deliver it.
"Tell him, see you at Plum Blossom Temple, you must see him, don't disappoint the good intentions of the messenger." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he glanced at Li Daliang, told him to keep it secret, and asked him if he could do it.
Li Daliang nodded excitedly, agreed and said yes, and then couldn't help but said happily: "I used to think that your lord and Fang Shizi are suitable, and I sincerely wish you two."
"Okay, let's go."
After Li Mingda finished speaking, he turned and left.
The next day, Fang Yizhi rode his horse and led people away from Liang Guogong's mansion at dawn.
An hour later, Princess Jinyang also went to Plum Blossom Temple to offer incense in a luxurious carriage.
When the carriage reached a small forest on the way to the Plum Blossom Temple, it was suddenly ambushed, and the princess's carriage, including the carriage and the horse, sank into a deep hole in the middle of the road.It was strange, the accompanying guards rode forward on horseback, nothing happened, but the trap collapsed as soon as the carriage passed by.
At the same time, Li Daliang, who had just been ordered to take office in Dingzhou, also came out of the mansion in a carriage, but his carriage was stopped by guards as soon as he drove a step away from the mansion.
Li Daliang poked his head out of the carriage in puzzlement and asked the guards blocking the carriage why they did this.
"Naturally, I want to invite Li Shilang to Dali Temple." Fang Yizhi rode a horse in a dignified manner, and appeared from behind the guards.
Li Daliang was surprised when he saw Fang Yizhi, and was about to ask him why he was here, when he saw another man appearing on a horse, dressed in black clothes, slightly handsome, but at this moment he smiled sweetly.
Princess Jinyang.
Li Daliang's eyes widened, "Your lord and son, you are not..."
Li Mingda: "I originally planned to go to Plum Blossom Temple, but suddenly there is a question that has been puzzling me."
Li Daliang looked at Li Mingda, wondering why she was confused.
"I want to know what your Tubo name is, is it also called Li Daliang, or 'True Master of Mutual Help', or Dazan Gampo's son?"
