Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 44 Exhortation
There may not be any dynasty like the early years of the Tang Dynasty, where the emperor's concubine lived in the palace, the prince of the East Palace lived, and even the adult princes lived in it.

And it's not a separate courtyard... Li Jiancheng lives in the East Palace adjacent to the Taiji Palace, while Li Shimin and Li Yuanji both live in the back hall of the Taiji Palace.

In other words, in the history books, Li Shimin secretly reported that Li Jiancheng was promiscuous in the palace and had an affair with Li Yuan's harem concubine... But in fact, Li Shimin's crime was more likely to be successful, after all, he might run into him when he went out, and Li Yuan was also old. And Li Shimin is strong and strong.

The backyard of Chengqian Hall.

Gao Shilian, who went to banquets everywhere and didn't relax until today, looked at his niece in front of him with a smile, "It's all hard work."

"I would also like to thank my uncle for his support." Eldest Sun Wuji on the side thanked him solemnly.

Qin Wang Li Shimin, who just came back, smiled and helped his brother-in-law, "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so formal."

"Your Highness said so." Gao Shilian looked at the dishes on the table, "Are all the dishes cooked by Avalokitesvara's servants?"

Concubine Qin bowed her knees and saluted, "See you again, uncle, I will be filial."

This sentence is not too much. After Changsun Sheng passed away, it was Gao Shilian who took in the brother and sister, brought them up, and married them to Li Shimin.

"Today's small banquet is a family banquet."

There has never been such etiquette throughout the ages. In the early Tang Dynasty, the emperor and princes did not respect each other as rulers and ministers, but as father and son.

Li Shimin is just learning from others.

After recounting the old relationship, the leader Li Shimin smiled and asked: "Auxiliary machine, why don't you bring Da Lang?"

Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said: "Da Lang has been ashamed to see people these two days... Anyway, teach him a lesson."

"Speaking of it, Li Shan can be said to be brave in discussing martial arts, and he has courage in his thesis." Gao Shilian shook his head, "Such a young hero, His Highness will let him go lightly?"

Li Shimin picked up the wine cup, "It's just a person who hides his head and shows his tail. Although he has courage and some methods, he is secretive..."

Changsun Wuji asked calmly and softly, "Seeing Mr. Li's hospitality that day, could it be that he is a child of the Li family in Longxi?"

"Master Ke only said that this person came from a rough background, but he didn't mention his father and grandparents." Li Shimin gulped it down, "Xuanling intends to recommend this person, but he has to go through the auxiliary machine... and Keming, Xinggong, By the way, there is also Cheng Zhijie..."

Changsun Wuji chatted a few words with a smile, then casually said, "I heard yesterday that His Highness appreciates this person quite a lot?"

"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned, "Xuanling mentioned something, and Keming also mentioned it in casual conversation, how does the outside world know?"

This time Changsun Wuji didn't speak, because there was no need to add fuel to the fire.

Gao Shilian was drinking from the glass slowly, Princess Qin frowned slightly inconspicuously, and glanced at her elder brother from the corner of her eyes.

Obviously, this is a very simple logical judgment.

King Qin wanted to seize the heir, so he dared not speak about other matters in the mansion, but the words of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other confidantes would never be spread.

Then, it can only be Li Shan's handwriting.

Why do you want to do this?
The most direct judgment is, can the children of Prince Qin's Mansion bear this breath?
Of course I can't bear it, and of course I will find a chance to take revenge.

Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart, such a trick... As long as King Qin says a word today, I will find someone to break your leg tomorrow, even if Master Li Ke comes forward to stop it.

The Changsun family once declined in the late Sui Dynasty, but it was strong in the early Tang Dynasty. In addition to Changsun Wuji and his sister Qin Wangfei, there were also Sun Shunde, the Duke of Xue, and Sun Wuao, the Duke of Qingdu County.

There are dozens of sons and nephews below, such as Hengshan King Li Chengqian's companion Sun Jiaqing, Gongcao Changsunxiang, etc., and among these people, Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong, is a well-deserved core figure... After all, Li Chengqian is only this year Three years old.

The eldest son who had high hopes was beaten by Li Shan, his nose was broken, and he was also depressed and ashamed to see people... How could it be possible for the eldest son Wuji to be indifferent.

Although he knew that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui intended to introduce Li Shan to the Qin Palace, Changsun Wuji still couldn't bear it, so he asked people to find out... Li Shan was definitely not from the Li family in Longxi, and he was planning to launch an attack today.

As long as Li Shimin said a word today, Changsun Wuji would give the order when he went out. Even if he had some talents, he was just a commoner.

From a certain point of view, Changsun Wuji can be more ruthless than Pei Shiju, because the latter has a lot of scruples, but the former does not.

Just when Li Shimin squinted his eyes and thought, a gentle female voice came.

"Uncle, do the dishes today still taste the same as back then?"

"It's vaguely discernible." Gao Shilian said with a smile, "It's a pity that His Highness has frequently gone to war in recent years."

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Chengqian Hall does not have a kitchen, today is a special case..."

After a pause, Li Shimin smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps in a few days, a kitchen can be set up in the mansion."

Changsun Wuji's face darkened, and he explained a few words to Gao Shilian in a low voice.

A few days ago, it was rumored in the womb that King Qin was dissatisfied with living in the Chengqian Palace, because the Taiji Palace was built during the reign of Emperor Wen Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty. Only the Chengqian Palace in the harem was built during the reign of Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, but it happened that the Chengqian Palace was the most damaged. .

The sage Li Yuan listened to the rumors and reprimanded his second son Li Shimin, while Li Jiancheng urged Li Yuan to build a palace outside the city...Second brother, don’t you dislike Chengqian Palace, then move away.

Gao Shilian shook his head again and again, "How unreasonable, how unreasonable!"

Li Shimin only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, so he drank three cups in a row and said, "I don't intend to make it for the boss!"

Both Changsun Wuji and Princess Qin were silent, conquering the world, Li Shimin's military talent became the sharpest spear in the Tang Dynasty, and after the world was mostly settled down, Li Shimin's numerous military achievements became the most dreadful thing about him.

After the small banquet was over, Li Shimin sent Gao Shilian and eldest grandson Wuji away, and reclined on the couch, "The tiger is in Pingyang, do you dare to insult me ​​even a little one?!"

"Guanyin maidservant, don't worry, tomorrow I will speak out for my eldest grandson!"

Surprised to find that there was no answer, Li Shimin straightened up and looked around in a daze. After a while, he saw the princess in full dress.

"Guanyin maidservant, why is this so?"

Wearing a formal dress must be a grand event. Li Shimin remembered that the last time his wife was dressed in a formal dress was the day when she arrived in the Central Plains and led the troops back to Beijing last year.

"I heard that last year in the battle of Luoyang, people said that Yuchi Gong wanted to rebel. His Highness didn't take it seriously. He led him into the bedroom and gave him gold treasures. The next day, His Highness was surrounded by heavy siege. Yu Chi Gong killed the enemy general and rode the Savior alone."

"Your Highness can tolerate Yu Chigong, why can't he tolerate Li Shan?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, "Yu Chigong has long been famous for his bravery, how can Li Shan be on a par with him?"

"What's more, when Yuchi Gong came to vote, Li Shan hides his head and shows his tail..."

Princess Qin articulated clearly, "Everyone knows that the King of Qin likes heroes. Yu Chigong, who had repeatedly defeated the Tang army, came to vote for him that day, and there will be a day when he will pay back."

"Although Li Shanqi is young and incomprehensible, he is both civil and military. He can be called a hero. Fang Xuanling and Du Keming recommended him. Why does His Highness not accept him and hate him even more?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Such gossip is nothing but child's play, and Guanyin's servant girl is making a big deal out of a molehill."

"The concubine is not for Li Shan, but for His Highness." Qin Wangfei raised her voice and said, "Since His Highness returned to Beijing this time, his will has been depressed, and he often gets drunk. Could it be that he no longer has ambitions?"

Li Shimin's drunkenness was gone, he was stunned for a while, and then he held up his bowed wife, "I have a good wife."

The words of the always docile Princess Qin pointed directly at Li Shimin's heart.

His father hurriedly called him back to Beijing, and asked his third brother Li Yuanji to lead the army in Hebei. This made Li Shimin feel too much vigilance and fear.

The reason is very simple. This time when Liu Heita was defeated, Li Shimin's subordinates were mainly the generals of the Qin Palace, as well as some Hebei generals who were defeated by Liu Heita.

Li Yuanji led the army... Obviously, Li Yuan had the intention of replacing Li Shimin with Li Yuanji, and even encouraged Li Yuanji to recruit the generals of the Qin Palace.

And the staff and generals of Prince Qin's mansion are the foundation of Li Shimin's life.

Coupled with Li Yuan's intention to let him go out of the palace, how can this prevent Li Shimin from being depressed?
