Turbulent Times Chapter 879: I met Li Shimin for the first time
(Thank you very much for the generosity of 'csn69' and the monthly ticket support.)
Under the canopy, there is a handsome man in cyan black clothes and casual clothes. He looks twenty-seven or eight years old, with a face as sharp as a knife... none other than Wang Junlin who went to Fanyang County to take up his post. So when I came to Loufan County by detour, I naturally wanted to see Li Yuan and his son.
To be honest, Wang Junlin wanted to meet Li Yuan and his son as early as a few years ago, but since he came to this era, he has never been idle, and there is no chance. Come and meet them.
That's right, the reason for being guessed by the officials and people of Loufan County is actually very simple. The reason why Wang Junlin made a detour was to see Li Yuan and his son.
A hundred steps away, Wang Junlin got out of the car, while Chen Danying, Xiang Xiang, and Guoer stayed in the car, surrounded by Nie Xiaoyu, Chong Yao, Spring and Autumn Valley Master, Shan Xiongxin and others who disguised themselves as male attendants Then he walked to Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
To be honest, Wang Junlin was quite surprised when he learned that Li Yuan greeted him personally at the city gate.
It is said that Wang Junlin is domineering and domineering, and Li Yuan personally greeted him today. Just now, he was still a little nervous and worried that Wang Junlin's rude behavior would embarrass him and make him unable to step down in front of his subordinates. Seeing Wang Junlin get off the horse early at this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and was half relieved, but when Wang Junlin rushed ahead of him and saluted him with a smile on his face, he was completely relieved and quickly returned the salute.
"Tang Guogong greeted him in person, it's a shame." Wang Junlin said with a smile.
"Grand Qin An is the number one hero in our Sui Dynasty when we were young. He has made great contributions to our Sui Dynasty. Now that he is here in Loufan County, it is only natural for an old man to welcome him." After Tang Guogong returned the gift, he smiled Said.
And while talking, regardless of being ten years older than Wang Junlin, he stepped forward and took Wang Junlin's arm, and began to introduce Li Jiancheng next to him: "This is the old man's eldest son Jiancheng."
"See Qin Angong for Jiancheng." Li Jiancheng looked at Wang Junlin with deep curiosity, and was surprised by Wang Junlin's youth, which was clearly not a few years older than him. Wang Junlin bowed and saluted, but Wang Junlin just nodded with a smile, which was regarded as a return salute, which was normal in his capacity.
"Lou Fan officials, I have met Qin Angong!"
After introducing Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan pointed to the crowd behind him, and dozens of people immediately greeted him and bowed to Wang Junlin, but Wang Junlin only slightly bowed his hands.
That night, Li Yuan first led the officials of Loufan County and local nobles to host a banquet for Wang Junlin to wash away the dust.
Afterwards, Li Yuan saw that Wang Junlin and Wang Junlin had a very happy conversation, and that Wang Junlin seemed to be interested in his sons during the conversation, so he invited Wang Junlin to attend the family banquet tomorrow morning. Wang Junlin readily agreed, and then brought people Back to the station.
Without talking all night, Li Yuan sent Li Jiancheng to the post station in the morning to invite Wang Junlin to the banquet. Because it was a family banquet, Wang Junlin led Chen Danying, Nie Xiaoyu, Shen Guoer, Perfume, and the eight-year-old Luo Shixin to attend.
Wang Junlin and his entourage were welcomed into the Li Mansion by Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng at the door, and saw a beautiful woman at the door of the reception hall, about forty, with black hair like a satin, The cloud temples are tall, exuding a graceful posture. At this time, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with a smile on his face, he looked Wang Junlin up and down.
Beside her, there were two teenagers standing, one looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with a tall and slender body, a face like pink jade, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, born with a heroic appearance, and his eyes were extremely radiant At such a young age, Wang Junlin actually saw a bit of sharpness in his eyes. Without any reason, Wang Junlin knew that this young man was Li Shimin. But next to this handsome young man, there was a thin young man with a pale face, who coughed lightly from time to time, and looked very thin.
But out of the instinct of a warrior, this skinny young man actually made Wang Junlin feel a sense of inexplicable pressure. This kind of pressure is somewhat similar to when he faced Yu Zimo. In the palm of his hand, there are knotted veins, revealing a faint sense of strength.
At this moment, the two teenagers looked at Wang Junlin with bright eyes, obviously extremely curious.
After walking a little further, Li Yuan smiled and said, "My dear brother, let me introduce you."
Now that the two families are able to participate in the family banquet, no matter what the purpose is, it seems unfamiliar to call the official title or title. Wang Junlin's wife, Chen Danying, is the goddaughter of the backer king Yang Lin, and Yang Lin is Yang Guang's uncle, but Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, so Wang Junlin and Li Yuan are of the same generation. It is true that Li Yuan called Wang Junlin a good brother, but Wang Junlin thought that Li Jiancheng, who was about the same age as him, should Calling him uncle felt a bit awkward.
"My dear brother, this is my brother's wife."
"Ma'am, this is Qin Angong and his wife, as well as Qin Angong's junior and three apprentices."
"My little brother has met Mrs. Sister-in-law!"
Wang Junlin looked calm, and together with Chen Danying, stepped forward to salute.
At this time, Wang Junlin's expression was expressionless, but he was quite moved in his heart. After planning to meet Li Yuan's family by detour, Wang Junlin learned about Li Yuan's family's information from Nie Xiaoyu in detail on the way, so he Knowing that Tang Guogong Li Yuan's wife was named Dou, that is, the famous Empress Taimu in history, in history, the description of Empress Taimu was not too detailed, only some intermittent chapters. But these chapters are enough to fully outline the image of Empress Taimu.
Madam Dou is from the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and her uncle is the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty married a Turkic princess and married a Turkic princess. Theoretically, this was considered a political marriage, so the emperor didn't have any feelings for the Turkic princess, and he was even unwilling to spend the night in the palace, which was very indifferent. Mrs. Dou, who was eight years old at the time, stood up and said to her uncle: Uncle, since you married a Turkic princess for the sake of peace between Turkic and the Central Plains, you should treat the queen kindly for this hard-won peace. Otherwise, what's the use of marrying a queen and ignoring her? Now that you've done it, be responsible and don't be anticlimactic.
It is indeed not easy for an eight-year-old girl to say such a thing. Therefore, the emperor treated the queen kindly and improved the relationship with the Turks.
Ms. Dou's father was Dou Wei, the **** of martial arts at that time.
The wife of Lord Shenwu is the younger sister of the Northern Zhou Emperor.
When Yang Jian usurped Zhou, Mrs. Dou was very angry when she learned about it, and shouted: "I wish I could be a man and eradicate adultery for my uncle."
Dou Wei and his wife were so frightened that they covered her mouth, not daring to let her speak again. Later, Mrs. Dou married Li Yuan and fulfilled her responsibilities as a good wife and mother.
It's a pity that Mrs. Dou left early in history. She had four sons and one daughter. Li Yuan died of illness just after becoming emperor. unknown.
At this moment, Mrs. Dou looked at Wang Junlin with a kind smile on her face, and said in return: "Being famous is not as good as seeing him at first glance. My virtuous younger brother is indeed very handsome. This is Princess Guangcheng! She is indeed a rare beauty. No wonder she is a virtuous person." For your sake, I even refused Dugu Mingyue, the daughter of the Dugu family, whom His Majesty offered to marry you." After Chen Danying worshiped the King of the Mountain as his righteous husband, Yang Guang added him as the princess of Guangcheng.
Although Chen Danying's strength is profound, she is only a woman in her twenties after all, so she was a little shy and said: "Thank you Madam for your compliment."
Li Yuan pointed to the young men on both sides of Mrs. Dou again, and said, "Erlang, Sanlang, I haven't seen your uncle Wang." Because Li Yuanji was still young, he didn't go to the banquet, so Li Yuan's daughter avoided it and didn't attend today family dinner.
The heroic young man stood up immediately, bowed to Wang Junlin, and said loudly, "Shimin has seen Uncle."
The sick young man coughed lightly and came forward to salute: "My name is Li Xuanba, I have met uncle."
Although I have already vaguely guessed the identity of the heroic boy from the first sight of these two boys. But when he heard the other party's self-reported family name, Wang Junlin still couldn't help causing quite a stir in his heart.
Three emperors have been recognized throughout the ages, Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi and Tang Taizong. The young man in front of him is the Tang Taizong in the original history, Li Shimin who created the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and was praised by the world even in later generations.
Wang Junlin made a detour to Loufan County this time, mostly because he wanted to see Li Shimin. Of course, after meeting him now, he couldn't see anything extraordinary, but he just felt like a handsome and heroic young man.
"I've heard for a long time that the three sons of Mr. Tang are both civil and military. I'm really lucky to see you today." Wang Junlin looked at the two of them carefully and said solemnly.
However, that sick young man... Li Xuanba! Could it be that he was the first hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Li Yuanba was not the prototype?
In history, Li Xuanba died very early, when he was about sixteen years old.
Wang Junlin didn't know how he got the image of Li Yuanba. But presumably it is not groundless. It's just that Wang Junlin couldn't connect Li Xuanba in front of him with the number one expert in the Sui and Tang Dynasties who hammered the 18th Route against the king and made all heroes flee in embarrassment. Is this Li Xuanba really the legendary Li Yuanba?
"Xuanba seems to be physically ill?"
Wang Junlin's medical skills are not very good, but after all, he is proficient in pharmacology and knows more or less. Of course, he said this at this time because he already knew that Li Xuanba had physical problems.
Besides, Li Xuanba's complexion was pale and blue, and his eyes were a little dull. Especially when he coughed, Wang Junlin could hear that the cough sound was heterogeneous, as if he had a lung disease.
Mrs. Dou's face brightened, and she said, "My dear brother, did you see it?"
Wang Jun nodded and said: "My little brother can see it..."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up beside him, and he looked forward to it, but he still said, "Please, brother, let's talk while having a banquet."
Preparations started early in the morning in Li's residence, and this was just a small but grand family banquet.
Of course, the small scale just refers to the small number of people participating in the family banquet, only five or six people. Except for the guest Wang Junlin and his party, there are only five masters of the Li family. The dishes are also very simple. There are only twelve exquisite side dishes, various fruits, and exquisite local pastries. In addition, there is a jug of wine, which is poured for them by the maid standing behind. Compared with hundreds of guests and several days of drinking, it is indeed extremely simple, but this does not mean that the Li family does not take it seriously.
Because this family banquet is quite grand, after all, Li Yuan, his wife and his family will accompany him, this is already the highest courtesy of the Li family, at least it has been several years, Li Yuan has never entertained anyone with such a high courtesy.
