Love Affairs in Chang’an Chapter 286: A trip to the palace

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

I spent more than half a month working on the land and water dojo of Famen Temple. Thousands of Buddhist monks chanted the Buddhist prayers day and night, and there was a cloud of smoke above the Dharma, which was a bit like a fairy Buddha. There are several cars just by burning incense.

How can I say that Li You was once a prince, and now he is coated with a golden body and dressed in the glamorous coat of a Buddhist holy place, as if his evil once should be forgotten. As a result, most of the ministers from the court came to burn incense and worship. The Buddha Pagoda that houses Li You's golden body also has a different name and is called the "King of Qi Pagoda". Echoing the Tufu Pagoda where Sakyamuni Buddha was placed, it became a scene of Famen Temple.

I don’t know if Li You is alive in the sky, he will feel ironic. Anyway, Qin Mubai felt that if he were Li You, he would have burned himself, and don't leave his body. As the saying goes, he would thank the world once he died. He could not pay for his crime even after he died, and his body was still not peaceful.

In recent days, Li Shimin is busy deploying troops and condemning generals with Li Ji, an official book from the Ministry of War, preparing to send troops to Lanzhou Town to strengthen the military there. At present, the Tubo invaded mainly the Songzhou area in the southern Sichuan region. The Lanzhou area has always been strong with soldiers and horses, and there are generals like Qin Shubao. The Tubo people did not infringe much. At most, it was sporadic harassment and occasional plunder.

People with discerning eyes can see that the emperor took this opportunity to send troops to Lanzhou. In fact, he was using a long line to catch a big fish with one hand, focusing on the brilliant strategy of dominating the Western Regions.

When Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, Jie Li of the Northern Turkic Khanate took advantage of the instability of the Tang Dynasty civil strife, and killed Li Shimin by surprise in one fell swoop, and went straight to Chang'an. How did Li Shimin endure this bad breath, and after years of enduring humiliation and strenuous efforts, he finally eliminated the Turks and captured Jie Li. Later, Tuyuhun town was restored and Tubo and Longyou Hetao were prosecuted. In the foreign war, Zhenguan Datang has never been too panic, and Li Shimin has also been respected by the barbarians in the Tian Khan.

However, after calming down the northern grasslands on its own, the national policy of recuperating and supporting the people became dominant. From then on, a group of internal governance ministers began to show their heads and gradually gained real power. People such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng are all figures with strong Confucianism and benevolence. They have always advocated that the country should be governed by kings and benevolence. Moreover, recuperation and rejuvenation are in peace in the world, which is also the wish of the common people. Ever since, Zhenguan Datang's Tibetan Soldiers first built a school, and the war became rare.

But Li Shimin is an ambitious master. Such a monarch is inherently aggressive! Taking down the Turks is revenge; it is not addictive to put down Tuyuhun; he must dominate the Western Regions and subdue Tubo in order to comfort his ambition!

However, there are a lot of people in the courtroom who talk about battle and are bored, and Li Shimin has to consider their emotions. Therefore, he slowly laid out a set of plans for dominating the Western Regions without revealing anything. This first move is to expand Lanzhou Dudu Mansion!

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others are not stupid, and naturally they can see it. But they have nothing to say about the emperor's arrangement! —— Tubo invaded, it is natural for Lanzhou to increase troops for defense!

At the same time, these well-informed people also smelled a strange smell: the emperor had a plan to dominate the Western Regions, and it was useless for Li Ji, Hou Junji, and Li Daliang, nor did he invite Li Jing. To use his proud disciple Su Dingfang, he used Qin Mubai, a junior who was still young and had little military merit!

What signal is this? ! Could it be that this kid is going to be developed, and the emperor wants to promote and cultivate him?

In and out of the imperial city these few days, Qin Mubai also felt a little strange. The eyes of those ministers and ministers looked a little strange. After thinking about it in his heart, he understood what was going on, and thought calmly: Whatever they think, it's my shit! I just need to take care of my own affairs.

The dojo of Famen Temple finally ended, and Qin Mubai returned to the palace and made an decree to the emperor. Li Shimin met him at the Wude Hall, after discussing official business, asked him to follow the emperor to Penglai Hall.

Li Shimin said: "Mu Bai, you haven't forgotten Ji Nu and Si Zi?"

"Of course not." Qin Mubai smiled and replied, "Two little sires, how are you now?"

"Okay." Li Shimin also laughed and said, "I am going back today to accompany them. It just so happens that you are here, so let's go together!"

"Weichen can't ask for it!" Qin Mubai smiled, "To be honest, weichen really miss the two little majesty a bit!"

"They talk about you all day, haha!" Li Shimin laughed.

When I arrived at the bedroom of the Penglai Hall, I heard Li Zhi and Li Mingda studying together. They were reading the chapters in the Book of Rites.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but smiled: "The two are really nice, and they have read the Book of Rites at a young age. As far as the minister knows, the Book of Rites is a great classic. They had already learned the Book of Filial Piety before. , The Book of Songs, and the Legend of Gongyang, this is the Four Classics!"

The Tang Dynasty implemented imperial examinations. The official textbooks are divided into three categories: Dajing, Zhongjing, and Xiaojing. The Book of Rites and Zuo Zhuan are both Dajing. There are different levels of study: the two classics, the three classics, and the five classics. Naturally, the more you learn, the more talent you will learn.

Li Shimin also nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Yu Shinan is really a good teacher. Moreover, both Ji Nu and Si Zi are also diligent in learning. Speaking of which, I have been more influenced by you. I think at the beginning, Ji Nu was the least Those who love to read, open the books and become sleepy. If it were not for you to accompany them to develop a good habit of reading every day, he would definitely become ignorant."

"Hehe, your Majesty was joking. In fact, His Royal Highness Jin is very smart, but a bit playful. Princess Jinyang is rare and smart and can be called a genius!" Qin Mubai said.

"Yes, that's the point." Li Shimin nodded, "Unfortunately, my son is a daughter, otherwise he will be an extraordinary person in the future."

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, women may not be extraordinary. For example, the queen of the grandson is the mother of the world."

"Yes..." A sentence evoked Li Shimin's infinite memories. He nodded thoughtfully, "Among my children, Ke'er is the most like me, and Sizi is the most like a queen... Well, let's go in!"

The speaker has no intentions, but the listeners intentionally. Qin Mubai thought to himself: Listening to Li Shimin's tone, I was sighing. Why is Sizi not a man? She is both a direct descendant and smart and virtuous. If born as a man, she would be the perfect successor!

Speaking of which, Li Shimin is still worried about his successor!

The two walked in, Li Zhi and Li Mingda exclaimed excitedly: "Father-wow! The village chief!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed and looked at Li Zhi at a glance, but it was a big change!

I haven't seen him for a year. He has grown a lot taller. It's like a different person. The voice has also changed a bit, as if he was a half-sized boy!

It seems that the ancients are indeed a little precocious, this kid has started to develop vigorously at the age of eleven or twelve!

"King Jin, Your Royal Highness, are you okay?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile upon seeing Li.

"Okay! Village chief, you haven't come to see us for almost a year!" Li Zhi's voice became thicker and less childish, a little bit like Duke, strangely unpleasant. But the excitement was beyond words, and the honesty and simplicity were the same.

On the other hand, Sizi is still small. The tiger's head is white and cute, with a sweet smile, and he's a bit fatter than before, just like a doll.

"It makes you happy." Li Shimin laughed and said, "Little slave, Sizi, how did you read the book? Memorize a paragraph for your village chief?"

"Okay!"

The two of them also began to recite the Scriptures in a straightforward manner. What they memorized was a passage from the Book of Rites, and Zhihuzhe also receded quite smoothly. Qin Mubai laughed and said, "This is a mistake. I’m not too sure, anyway, I can’t memorize this book. Your Highness is much harder and more knowledgeable than me!"

"Mubai, you will teach them so badly, and they will be proud!" Li Shimin laughed, and his love was beyond words. He called the two little princes to his side, hugged them, and said, "It's a blink of an eye. When the child was twelve years old, it was time to set up a government office. I promised you a long time ago to let you be the king of Jin Fu. How about it, don’t you have any comments?"

"Weird officials and dare?" Qin Mubai arched his hands and said, "I'm afraid that weird officials are only shallow, and they are not in the capital all the year round. It will not benefit His Royal Highness Jin."

"It's okay." Li Zhi rushed to speak, "The village chief only has to agree. Anyway, I only want the village chief to be the king of Jin. I don't want to be someone else!"

"Yes!" Sizi seemed to be on the same front as his brother, and said with a smile, "Village Chief, you agree? Even if you are an official in a foreign country, you will always return to Beijing, right? When you return to Beijing, you can go to Jiu Ge's Mansion, then I will go too, and you can listen to the village chief telling stories again!"

"Haha!" Li Shimin was amused, "Sizi, Jin Wangfu is not just a storyteller, that is your Ninth Brother's teacher, you know? You have to follow him to learn things, if you don’t understand Ask, let him protect you if you are in danger, understand?"

"Yeah!" Li Zhi nodded seriously, "Isn't the village head always protecting us? With him, my sister and I can sleep more peacefully."

"Hehe, did you hear it?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "It won't be long before you will be their brother-in-law. I am more at ease for the family."

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "So, Weichen agreed."

"Okay. When the young slave opens the mansion, you will be King Jin Fu." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Mu Bai, son-in-law wins the half son, but I treat you as a son. To the young slaves and Si Son, I have always regarded it as a flesh and blood, and I will give it to you then."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Qin Mubai nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's eat together!" Li Shimin laughed heartily in a good mood, "Little slave, Sizi, take out your pipa after dinner and listen to it. Let your teacher check it out. , How did you practice?"

"Okay!" Li Zhi and Li Mingda were happy, and happily pulled Qin Mubai to the restaurant.

Li Shimin looked at them nodding and smiling, and muttered to himself: "This is really fate!"

After eating at the Penglai Hall and listening to Li Zhi and Li Mingda playing the pipa, it was very late and it was getting dark. Qin Mubai said goodbye to the emperor and others, and left here to go home.

I just walked to the Xia Ma Bridge, but I saw someone sitting by the bridge holding a lantern here, as if waiting for him.

No one else, she really is Princess Goyang.

"Ling'er, why are you here?" Qin Mubai walked over and asked with concern, "It's getting colder, don't freeze."

"We have been waiting for you for a long time!" Princess Gao Yang smiled softly and handed the lantern to Qin Mubai, "Give it to you, my hands are red."

"You are alone, and you don't want a maid to accompany you." Qin Mubai took the lantern, held his hand in the palm of his hand, and said, "Waiting for me, what's the matter?" /

"I can't wait for you if I'm okay?" Princess Gao Yang smiled playfully and said, "I heard the maidservant say that you came to the harem with your father, and went to the Penglai Hall, waiting for you here, thinking Talk to you!"

Qin Mubai smiled: "I just picked such a good place. I seem to remember that there used to be someone who jumped into the river bravely--are you not afraid?"

"I hate it!" Princess Gao Yang's face flushed, and she glared at Qin Mubai with shame.

"Let's talk, what's the matter?" Qin Mubai asked with a hehe smile. He knew that Princess Gao Yang wouldn't be waiting here in the middle of the night unless something happened.

"Well, I heard that you are leaving the capital and going to Lanzhou, right?" Princess Gaoyang asked.

"You are well informed, the court hasn't officially followed it yet!" Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, "Yes, your Majesty ordered that."

Princess Gao Yang raised her brows: "We are about to make a wedding. How can the father let you leave at this time?"

"National affairs are important!" Qin Mubai smiled, "Don't worry, I can't run. Isn't it pinched in your hand?"

"Don't be ashamed!" Princess Gao Yang blanked him funny and angrily, and said, "I've only been back to Beijing for a few days, and I have to leave again? Anyway, I feel uncomfortable. I want to go to Lanzhou with you. !"

Qin Mubai frowned and said, "Actually, I want to take you with you. But Lanzhou is not Xiangzhou. It is a border gate. There will be wars at any time. It is not fun at all and dangerous."

"I don't care! I have sweared anyway. From now on, I will be where you are!" Princess Gaoyang was stubborn.

Qin Mubai looked at her embarrassedly, smiled bitterly, and whispered softly: "Ling'er, don't be so self-willed! This time it is not something that your Majesty the Emperor agreed or disagreed with, I am not willing to take you there. . In other words, if we decide to kiss, it is a husband and wife. His Majesty the Emperor will not care about you. But I am also a stranger in Lanzhou. It’s okay to be in the Taiping realm. If there are two wars in three days, I am afraid I will have no time to do so. Take care of you!"

"Hate! Am I that burdensome?" Princess Gao Yang said bitterly, "If you don't go, you won't go! I'm not rare! Humph!"

After all, she turned and left.

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and smiled, "Look at you, are you childish again?"

Princess Gaoyang blushed and smiled: "I don't care! Anyway, this time, I will follow to Lanzhou! If you don't take me, I will sneak away by myself! Maybe I will be intercepted by the Tubo barbarians on the plateau. I'm bullied on it-you can figure it out!"

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly: "You are clearly a threat!"

"That's it!" Princess Gao Yang raised her face and hummed, "What can you do to me?"

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Fine, I am afraid of you. Or ask your majesty the emperor! If his old man agrees, I have nothing to say, okay?"

"Hey, this is good!" Princess Gao Yang smirked triumphantly, "Your Majesty Father... it's a piece of cake!"

"Please be quiet, please?" Qin Mubai couldn't laugh or cry, "No matter, there was someone here who jumped into the river, so it shouldn't stay for long. I have to go back. You can find your side dishes!"

"Hey! Go ahead, I'll go to Penglai Hall to find the emperor!" Princess Gao Yang smiled triumphantly, and she tiptoed up and gave Qin Mubai a sip with joy.

"You know how to be a gangster!" Qin Mubai scolded with a smile, waved his hand and left.

"Yeah! Great!" Princess Gao Yang jumped and shouted excitedly, "Leave Chang'an and go to Lanzhou!"
