Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 325 The Forbidden Garden
Since the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, Chang'an Xianyang has been the imperial capital. For two hundred years before the Han Dynasty, Chang'an was the hope of the world. Although the Later Han and Western Jin Dynasties chose another capital city, Chang'an suffered more wars for hundreds of years, but Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ruled the world and rebuilt Chang'an. , there are many forbidden gardens around.

Then when Li Yuan became the master of Taiji Palace, he designated all the large area of ​​land north of the palace city as a forbidden garden... This is also impossible, because unlike the palaces of other dynasties, Taiji Palace is located in the northernmost part of Chang'an, close to the city wall.

The scope is very wide, there is neither land nor manor, so there are many birds and beasts, and the children of the rich and powerful, and relatives of the clan often ride, shoot and hunt here.

Li Shan followed behind Li Yuan, all the way to the Forbidden Garden, and saw Li Yuan's face turning pale... along the way, he received two reports from the palace servants that someone had been beaten and seriously injured, and the unlucky one was Zhao Cihao.

Zhao Cihao's late elder brother, Zhao Cijing, was the captain's son-in-law, and Shang Liyuan's fifth daughter, Princess Changguang, and his wife was the cousin Changsun of the Qin Palace, and he had always been on good terms with Li Shimin.

Galloping all the way to the beginning of the palace gate, after all, Li Shan had practiced in Shandong, and after returning to Beijing, he asked Su Dingfang for advice. Although his riding skills were not good, they were still solid.

Before he could take a closer look, Li Shan got off his horse and saluted, "The third sister is here...His Royal Highness."

"Why is Huairen here?" Li Jiancheng who had just arrived was a little surprised.

"The people from the palace just came to report that my younger brother is accompanying my uncle and King Xu in the flower garden." Li Shan hesitated, "And...Your Highness, I am afraid that this matter will be related to my younger brother..."

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly, waved his hands without saying anything, and walked quickly towards Li Yuan.

"Father taught me to control the left and right guards, so I stopped here." Princess Pingyang looked flat, "Other matters should be assigned by my father."

The words are very clear, the guards on the left and right are guarding the gate of the palace, and there is a fight outside, not an attack on Miyagi... I don't care about such crap!
Although Li Yuan was furious, he couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this. The key reason why his daughter was allowed to lead the Beiya Imperial Army was because of his impartial stance... The fight outside the palace gate was ultimately related to seizing the heir apparent. Pingyang's refusal to meddle is justified.

Li Shan listened silently, only carefully looking at Li Jiancheng's face... Come here so quickly, you must know that the East Palace is farther away than the Taiji Palace.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came, and Li Shimin came galloping, got off his horse, and behind him was Zhang Cong, the Marquis of Nan'an County with an extremely ugly face.

Li Shan dodged to the side, looked away...then saw the three words on the palace gate.

Oh, so this is the Xuanwu Gate!

Li Shan shivered, turned his head and looked around, there were few buildings around, a large open space, and sparse woods on the east and west sides.

Then he turned his head and looked at the city gate... Although it was made of wood, it was so high, so wide, and so heavy... Li Shan recalled, um, that Zhang Gongjin was really awesome.

I don't know if Zhang Gongjin still has this chance in this life...

Li Shan was pondering here, that the Forbidden Garden was about to decide the winner... It said it was in the Forbidden Garden, but it was actually far away from Xuanwu Gate.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate is the Forbidden Garden, but the Forbidden Garden is divided into inside and outside. The one near the palace gate is the West Inner Garden, guarded by guards of the prison gate. Those guys dare not fight in the Inner Garden even if they don't have eyes.

Seeing Sanlang and Li Kai being kicked off his horse, Li Keshi, who had been suppressing his anger, couldn't bear it any longer. With a roar, he rode forward, and several horsemen from the opposite side approached. Can sideways avoid.

Today's chaos was not caused by Li Keshi, but today's events were initiated by Li Keshi.

Among the generals of the Prince of Qin's Palace, in terms of unparalleled bravery, he should be Yu Chigong; in terms of sharpness in charging, he should be the number Qin Qiong; but in terms of riding and shooting, Li Keshi can be ranked among the top three.

Master Li Ke was born in a famous family with a magnanimous bearing. He was the best at hunting. When he didn't fight, he hunted almost every day. Every time he went in and out of the forest, the birds and beasts would follow him and make noise, so he got the nickname "Bird Thief".

Today was led by Li Keshi, with his eldest son Li Jia and third son Li Kai, and several colleagues agreed to ride and hunt in the Forbidden Garden... They are all colleagues of Tiance Mansion, the chief of the horse army Zhang Shigui, the founder of the Xuanjia Army One of them is Zhai Changsun and Cheng Yaojin of the Zuo Santong Army.

In addition, Hou Junji, the cavalry general waiting on the right, also came over, and Zhang Yong and Zhao Cihao were also invited by Li Kai... The former and Li Kai are cousins, their mothers are both from the Changsun family in Luoyang, and the latter's wife is also from a family background Changsun's.

The cause was just a driven deer, Zhang Yong shot it with his bow, but the deer with the arrow fled all the way, and finally bumped into Luo Shou's horse.

What happened in the Furong Garden that day, Zhang Yong has always been brooding on his heart. Although Luo Yang was beaten terribly in the end... But Zhang Yong only stepped forward to persuade him a few words before he was beaten. Naturally, he refused to let go at this moment.

And Luo Shourang... After the Luo family entered Beijing, they were arrogant and domineering, but they suffered losses at the hands of Li Shan twice.

Such a trivial matter eventually turned into a fight because Luo Shou refused to give in. At first, it was just Luo Shou and Zhang Yong... After Luo Shou was kicked off the horse, Zhang Yong had stopped, and Luo Shou's personal guards had also stopped. He didn't have the guts to step forward and make a move.

But at this time, Qi Wang Li Yuanji appeared... This man's hunting addiction is heavier than Li Keshi's. He can go without food for a day, but he can't go without hunting for a day.

This kicked off a scuffle. The first unlucky one was Zhao Cihao, who fell off his horse and was trampled by the startled horse. He couldn't afford to be seriously injured.

Although Cheng Yaojin is good at battle, he looks rough and bold, but he is careful and cautious. Last year he was made the Duke of Su, and he only protects a few juniors.

Zhang Shigui, Hou Junji and Li Keshi did not dare to confront Li Yuanji's family background, they only dared to ask a few personal guards to stop him.

By this time, the situation was still stable, but immediately after, dozens of cavalry arrived suddenly, led by King Luo Yi of Yan County.

Luo Yi glanced at the battle situation, and quickly asked the cavalry guards behind him to join the battle group. It was at this time that Li Kai was kicked off his horse.

Master Li Hakka used to be the soldier in Youzhou, Luo Yi's old department... In the Furong Garden, Li Kai and Li Shan walked together, Luo Yi also inquired, and Li Shan and Li Kai had a very close friendship.

Luo Yi, who was on the opposite side, had fought several times with Qin Palace in the past two months, Fang Xuanling was injured, and Li Shimin ordered the generals to stay away from the front for the time being, everyone was already full of anger.

Zhang Shigui and Hou Junji summoned their personal guards, and with the momentum of the battle, the two sides fought in a melee. Even the cautious Cheng Yaojin and Li Keshi, who had just started to protect himself wisely, had to fight.

Luo Yi looked on coldly, and had to admit that although he thought that the soldiers from Youzhou were the strongest in the world, the soldiers from Prince Qin's Mansion would be even better... There were nearly a hundred soldiers, but none of them could hold down the opponent's 40 or [-] soldiers.

But it didn't matter, the balance was quickly broken, and another hundred riders came.

Cheng Yaojin glanced sideways, his expression changed drastically, he shouted, calling everyone to retreat... But it was too late, the hundred horsemen galloping like thunder, blocked the way of retreat.

Others couldn't think of it, but Cheng Yaojin thought of it. After being knocked off the horse, he gritted his teeth, got up and glared at Mr. Li Ke, where he can't go hunting, he has to come to Forbidden Garden!
You know, the east side of the Forbidden Garden is the north side of the East Palace, and the Prince's Changlin Army is stationed at the Changlin Gate beside the West Inner Garden.

In other words, most of the military power in the hands of the Prince of the East Palace is nearby, and the people of Prince Qin's Mansion must suffer here.
