There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the palace servant sent a gold-sprinkled invitation: "Your Majesty, the long history said that General Zhao and the others have wrapped up the Miaoyin Pavilion and are waiting for you!"
Li Zhongqian came back to his senses and accepted the invitation.
Yaoying grinned.
Li Zhongqian has a temperament of being entertained in a timely manner. He walks around the stage, and his daughter laughs at him. In addition, he has not married a concubine yet, and when he is not fighting outside, he often feasts all night with his subordinates.
The men of the Li family are all energetic.
The army triumphed, and Li Zhongqian had to entertain.
Yaoying told her brother: "Brother, don't eat wine on an empty stomach. Use some soup cakes before eating wine. Also, eat less wine, and drink more to hurt your health."
He drank a thousand glasses of wine, and got drunk every time.
Li Zhongqian listened to her instructions, curled his fingers and scratched the tip of her nose with a smile.
"Remember, housekeeper."
Yaoying sent him out.
Li Zhongqian pushed her into the inner hall: "Don't worry about me, you have been tired all day today, so settle down early. Tomorrow, my brother will bring you your favorite mutton pancake from Chongrenfang."
Yaoying rolled her eyes, took the opportunity to lie on his shoulders to make a request, and said coquettishly, "I also want the thousand-layer pastry made by Grandma Zhang, the fruit shop opposite his house."
Li Zhongqian said without thinking about it, "Okay."
Yaoying's voice was even softer and sweeter: "Brother, help me sell another pot of Green Ant Bar, I love turbid wine."
Li Zhongqian raised his eyebrows.
Yaoying shook his arm and lengthened her voice: "Brother, please!"
Li Zhongqian lowered his head and twisted the tip of her nose: "Don't even think about it!"
Yaoying pouted.
Li Zhongqian was obedient to her, and he would give what she wanted, but this was the only thing that was strictly controlled. Even the guards got his warning, staring at her and not allowing her to touch the wine.
The last time I drank was last year.
There is a drink and I'm drunk now, and I don't know how long they will live. What's wrong with drinking some wine
He drank the wine as water, but did not allow her to drink it.
Yaoying let go of Li Zhongqian's sleeve angrily, turned around and walked inside.
Just after taking two steps, there was a chuckle in his ear, and Li Zhongqian's solid arms hooked over and gently wrapped around her waist.
He was accustomed to using double hammers and was as powerful as an ox. Yaoying was turned around and slammed into the thin armor on his chest.
Li Zhongqian held Yaoying steady and touched the small head on his chest.
"It really grew taller."
It used to be only to the height of the tiger's head carved on his breastplate, but now it is almost to his shoulders.
Yaoying immediately turned her anger into joy.
The Li family in Wei County is a family of military generals, with tall and strong sons and tall and plump girls.
The elder brother Li Zhongqian is eight feet long, and Li Xuanzhen is also strong. She has been looking forward to growing taller ever since she started to grow taller, and every time Li Zhongqian came back from an expedition, he would take him to measure where he was.
Yaoying stretched out her hand and compared her head to Li Zhongqian's breastplate. She grinned with satisfaction, then stood on tiptoe and continued to compare: "I can still grow longer."
With a playful face, Li Zhongqian stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of her eyes, pressing down on her shoulders to make her stand up.
"If you want to grow taller, listen to the doctor's words, take medicine on time, and don't drink alcohol."
Yaoying waved her hand proudly: "If you don't stick, you won't stick."
She knew that Li Zhongqian was doing it for her own good.
Li Zhongqian watched her go in with a smile, and turned to leave the palace.
It is time for curfew, the lights of thousands of homes are lit, and the night is hazy, like the silver moonlight filling the silent long street, and there is an endless night sky above the top and palace walls of the magnificent palace with scattered heights.
The stars twinkled, as if embedded with ten thousand silver scales.
Chang Shi had already been waiting outside the palace gate, when he heard the rapid neighing of hoofs amidst the desolate chirping, and drove his horse forward to meet him.
Li Zhongqian wore a white robe on his shoulders and flew out on a single horse.
Chang Shi kept up with him, reported several important matters, and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Biao just asked to see him, and this old slave sent him away."
In the darkness of the night, Li Zhongqian's sharp-edged face was like a knife sharpening an axe: "What did he see me doing?"
Yaoying had already told him about the day.
Chang Shi said: "He came to bear Jing and plead guilty."
Li Zhongqian sneered: "What sin please?"
Chang Shi replied: "Xu Biao said that he knew the law and violated the law and robbed the good family.
The Seventh Princess can't see blood.
Li Zhongqian twitched lightly: "He broke two fingers, can there be any resentment?"
Chang Shi replied with a smile, "No, after Xu Biao woke up, not only did he not complain, but he laughed a lot, saying that the Seventh Princess is worthy of your compatriot's sister, and he was convinced. Xu Biao once issued a military order, if the princess was not merciful, It wasn't the finger that he broke, but the head on the neck, and although he is a rough man, he still knows some sense."
Li Zhongqian murmured lightly and said, "Count him as acquainted."
Chang Shi understood that Xu Biao's life was saved.
If Xu Biao complained about the princess after cutting off two fingers, Li Zhongqian would never leave this scourge.
Several personal soldiers carried lamps in the far back, and faint sounds of singing, dancing and laughter could be heard from the depths of the dark square wall.
Chang Shi continued: "Your Majesty, the looted women have been sent home, and the princess also ordered a thorough investigation into the palace and the army to see if any generals violated the ban and harassed the people..."
He stopped, hesitating.
Li Zhongqian said impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it."
Chang Shi sighed and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, the people under your account, such as Xu Biao, Lu Heng, Sun Ziyi and others, are all rambunctious, unruly, rude, and arrogant, often blatantly violating prohibitions, hindering Your reputation, why don't you take this opportunity to rectify military discipline? Use Xu Biao's incident to shock them and make them calm down?"
Long history has long wanted to say these words.
…
The Xie family has passed through Jingnan for generations, the fourth and third princes, and the masters have read the giant room. Talents in the clan are born in large numbers, and the children are all Zhilan and Yushu. If they enter, they are prime ministers, and if they go out, they are generals.
In the previous dynasties, the vassal towns were separated, the heroes rose together, the world was torn apart, Chang'an changed hands several times, and the Guanzhong Plain was wiped out.
In order to expel the vicious and brutal alien race from the Central Plains, several major forces in the Central Plains formed a short-lived alliance.
Jingnan was safe at the time, but the grandfather of the Xie family resolutely led the children of the clan to the north to fight the enemy for the sake of the overall situation.
At that time, the three generations of the old, strong, and young in the clan all went to the battlefield without hesitation, and even the young man with the beard was no exception.
Xie family children, ancestors have been like this.
They are both civil and military. They learned poetry and calligraphy from a young age and practiced martial arts at the same time. At the age of eleven or twelve, they fought on the battlefield with their father and brother, defending the family and the country, and went forward one after another.
The fame of the Xie family did not depend on playing tricks, but was earned by the children of the Xie family who fought on the battlefield one by one and wrapped their bodies in horse leather!
At the time of peace, the Xie family retreated to Jingnan to protect the people.
If in troubled times, Xie Jiaerlang will go to the battlefield without words.
Great rivers and mountains, not an inch of land!
When Mr. Xie went, he took away all the outstanding children and elite troops of the Xie family, leaving only the family to stay in Jingnan.
100,000 people.
From the old man, the general, the eldest son, to the eleven-year-old Xie Shibalang, from the experienced veterans to the young soldiers who have just joined the army.
never return.
One hundred thousand heroic souls buried in a foreign land.
That tragic decisive battle saved Chang'an and allowed the Zhu clan to occupy the most dangerous states in Guanzhong.
Later, the Zhu family proclaimed the emperor, and Guanzhong was peaceful, but other local forces had already established themselves as kings, and the situation was turbulent.
When the last emperor of the Zhu family came to the throne, the world would be in chaos.
In the turbulent times, the withered Xie family lost the support of the army, the widows of the whole family were helpless, and the power was reduced to a county.
In Xie Wuliang's generation, he and his younger sister Xie Manyuan were the only two brothers and sisters left to depend on each other.
Xie Wuliang wanted to follow the example of his ancestors to gallop on the battlefield and recover the rivers and mountains, but he was frail and sick since he was a child, unable to draw a bow or ride a horse.
Xie Manyuan is another girl.
Xie Wuliang took a different approach and vigorously managed the Xie family's industry. Relying on the well-developed water system in Jingnan and the major forces to carry out business and trade, he quickly helped the Xie family to accumulate wealth that could rival the country, and also hoarded a lot of food in the turbulent times.
At this time, General Li of Wei County, who had conquered twenty-one cities in thirty battles, came into Xie Wuliang's field of vision.
The Xie family had money, fame, food, and lack of generals and soldiers.
The Li family had generals, soldiers, food, money, and fame.
Li Xie's family married, and Li Zhongqian was born.
Xie Wuliang knew that his sister Xie Manyuan was pure and innocent, and brought his nephew Li Zhongqian to his side to raise him personally.
As a child, Li Zhongqian was smart, clever, and thoughtful in etiquette.
Which one of the Li clan does not praise Li Zhongqian
It is precisely because of Li Zhongqian's talent and talent that he is deeply loved by the elders of the Li family, that there will be a battle for the prince.
At that time, even Li De could not make a choice between Li Xuanzhen and Li Zhongqian, and could only delay the establishment of the heir.
Later, when Tang died, Li De established Li Xuanzhen as the heir.
Xie Wuliang was far-sighted and immediately took away Li Zhongqian's pair of golden hammers. He was not allowed to practice martial arts again, and he was asked to study poetry and books wholeheartedly, and in the future he would become a virtuous official who is loyal to the king and loves the people.
"Tiger slave, please remember what your uncle said. You are fierce in your life, and you are too violent. If you study poetry and books wholeheartedly, you may be able to grow old safely.
"Hu Nu, you remember, don't follow martial arts!"
Li Zhongqian made a solemn oath.
Three years later, the Xie family was destroyed.
In accordance with Xie Wuliang's last wish, Li Zhongqian continued to study the book painstakingly.
Until Li Yaoying was five years old, he had to break the oath he made in front of his uncle, abandon literature and follow martial arts.
Even if he knew the price would be less than thirty years old.
…
Chang Shi watched Li Zhongqian grow up.
He watched Li De book Li Xuanzhen as the heir, and the six-year-old second son smiled and immersed himself in poetry and books.
After watching Xie's family full of heroism, the nine-year-old second son wiped away his tears and returned to Li's house to take care of his younger sister Li Yaoying, who could not walk on both legs.
Looking at the eleven-year-old Second Young Master, his eyes were blood red, he gritted his teeth and broke the lock, and his bloody hands grabbed the pair of golden hammers that were destined to bring him misfortune.
Everyone in the world knows that Li Zhongqian kills people like numb and let loose.
He was despised by the aristocratic family, hated by the common people, despised by his peers, and ridiculed by the prince's subordinates.
The military and men who served him were all three religions and nine-rates that the prince despised.
A strategist from a humble background like Du Sinan dares to publicly say: Erlang of the Li family is an idiot, and I disdain to associate with him.
Chang Shi's heart throbbed with hatred.
How did they understand that the second prince had so many books when he was young, and was brought up by Xie Wuliang, who was unparalleled in the world, how could he be a rude person who didn't understand anything
Why is the second prince unwilling to rectify military affairs
Why indulge in alcoholism
Why completely disregard the reputation
The night is cool and the sky is full of stars.
The tall horse was walking slowly in the faint moonlight. Li Zhongqian lowered his eyes and patted the mount casually, without saying a word.
Chang Shi said bitterly: "Your Majesty, although the Xie family has lost their blood, their spirit still remains. You are a teacher of the Xie family, and you can't fall into the name of the Xie family!"
Li Zhongqian turned his head sharply.
His eyes were sharp as knives.
"Don't thank me in front of me!"
Chang Shi shivered in fright.
"Hu Bo thought, what should I do?"
Li Zhongqian's long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of violence, but his voice was very calm.
"Should I be like the prince, rectifying military affairs, recruiting talented people, looking for famous people and sages, respecting sages, treating people with kindness, winning people's hearts, and being a virtuous king who is praised by the world?"
Chang Shi agreed in his heart, but did not dare to speak out.
Li Zhongqian smiled: "Uncle Hu, don't forget, I almost became the heir."
Chang Shi was stunned.
After a while, Chang Shi reacted and felt horrified.
Li Zhongqian said lightly, "If I really did that, I would only die earlier and die faster."
He almost became the heir and the grandson of the Xie family. Based on this alone, Li Xuanzhen would not let him off the threat.
What's more, there was also Tang's death mixed in between them.
And their father, the emperor who was decisive, unpredictable, and almost ruthless.
Switching identities, so will he.
From the moment the Xie family was destroyed, Li Zhongqian knew that he would not live long.
What is the fear of death
He is not afraid of death.
I'm afraid that the death is not heroic enough.
The crescent moon did not know when to hide in the clouds, and the dim starlight came down lightly.
Li Zhongqian raised his face, and the twinkling stars fell into his eyes.
He remembered the jade box he gave to Yaoying, the corners of his mouth slowly twitched, and he couldn't help but want to smile.
There is no life to send, no fear of death.
But he died, what should Xiao Qi do
Li Zhongqian was afraid.
So he wants to find someone who can shelter Xiaoqi early before that day comes.
Li Zhongqian regained his senses and controlled the horse to walk faster.
He didn't go out of the palace to seek pleasure, Prime Minister Zheng was waiting for him at Miaoyin Pavilion.
Xiao Qi's marriage can be settled as soon as possible, so that he can go out with peace of mind.
Chang Shi followed closely behind Li Zhongqian, tearful.
He had already figured out the trick.
The second prince knew that he was going to die, so he was arrogant and gave up on himself.
Chang Shi is not reconciled!
The Xie family has been loyal and fierce from generation to generation, the children of each generation have been bloodbathed in the battlefield, the son-in-law has sacrificed his life for the country, and the last generation of bloodline Xie Wuliang died defending the city.
A hundred years of character, worthy of the king, worthy of the rule of the people.
Even more worthy of Li's!
It ended up like that in the end.
If the Xie family is still there, how dare the saint treat the concubine and the second prince like this
