The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 71 Long'er's Childhood

When Xuan Shijing returned to the room, he saw the three of Li Chengqian and Qin Yuxin talking happily. The harmonious picture, no matter how you look at it, is a play of talented scholars and beautiful ladies.

It was the first time that Xuan Shijing felt so clearly the brilliance and darkness of a prosperous age. Spend it in this Yanlai Building.

With a wry smile, she turned her head to look at Long'er, who also walked into the room, closed the door gently, and followed Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing sat on the soft couch on the other side of the room, and motioned for Long'er to sit down too. Li Chengqian and the others didn't leave, so he couldn't leave first, so it's better to find a place to chat with Long'er.

"Long'er, what were you doing when you said you were that little girl's age?" Xuan Shijing looked at Long'er and asked.

Hearing the question from her little lord, Long'er paused and fell into memories: "When I was six years old, I was still in the reign of Wude. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and the whole Central Plains was still in flames of war. At that time, I remembered that Gao Jun and I There are also many children adopted by the master in Erxianzhuang. The people in Erxianzhuang are very nice. Those older sisters never let us do heavy work. My wife even invited a husband to teach us how to read and write. We wake up in the morning I went to the school to study, and in the afternoon I followed Uncle Zhong to practice martial arts in the backyard. Young Master, our children from Erxianzhuang can be said to be both civil and military. Later, as we grew older, Uncle Qian separated us. Because he said that everyone is good at different things, like Qiandui, he is not good at reading, but he is very talented in managing the business of Erxianzhuang with Uncle Qian, and Gao Jun, who was taught by Uncle Zhong, He can't practice well no matter what, but he is unique in lightness kung fu."

Xuan Shijing nodded while listening, but Qiandui's father really saw clearly.

Long'er didn't look at Xuan Shijing, and then recalled: "At that time, the master was often not in the Zhuangzi. We all know that the master was fighting outside with His Majesty. The master once told us that the world is uncertain, so why settle down? In fact, the master is I want to follow His Majesty to pacify the world as soon as possible, so that children like us will no longer be homeless. Little Marquis, do you know that the life of people outside Zhuangzi was really miserable at that time. Ten rooms are empty, and the rest are old and weak women and children. Once bandits come to the village to rob, all women and children in the village will take up arms and fight against the bandits to protect their children. The Turks in the north often go south to burn, kill and loot. , more vicious than bandits, and once attacked outside Chang'an City."

This Xuan Shijing has heard that the Turks went south to the Weishui River, forcing His Majesty Li Er to sign the humiliating Weishui Treaty with the Turkic Khan on the Weishui Bridge. The Turks emptied the Tang treasury and returned with a full load.

"Although the world was not stable when Long'er was young, the master gave us the most stable living environment." Speaking of this, Long'er thought of Xuan Mingde who had passed away, and her eyes were clouded with tears.

"Did you meet Shan Xiongxin when you were young? What kind of person is he?" When Long'er was young, Erxian Village was still owned by Shan Xiongxin.

Long'er sniffed, wiped away her tears, and shook her head: "I haven't seen the owner of Shanzhuang, I was picked up by my wife. When I arrived at Erxianzhuang, the owner of Shanzhuang was already dead."

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing secretly sighed, it's a pity, in the literature and film and television works of the previous life, the description of Shan Xiongxin who was born in the green forest can be described as rich and colorful, and it is a pity that he is submerged in the vast river of history Winning, if he and the Li family have no feud, if he has not married Wang Shichong's daughter, if he is like Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin, following Li Tang to conquer the world, will he also have a place in Lingyan Pavilion?

There are too many ifs, but unfortunately there are no ifs.

The Imperial Palace, the Tai Chi Hall, His Majesty Li Er looked at the paperwork sent by the Jinwu Guards, and his brows became tighter the more he looked at it, and after reading it, he closed the paperwork, slapped the case hard, and was furious: "It's lawless! At the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, you dare to kidnap a county marquis in the name of the royal family, let me investigate!" His Majesty Li Er grabbed the person on the case and threw it in front of the school lieutenant who was kneeling below: "This matter must Check it out, where is Jing'er? How is he, is he frightened?"

The lieutenant who was kneeling on the ground lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Xuanwei is not unusual."

"Those people pretended to take Jing'er away in the name of Cheng Qian. Has Cheng Qian seen Jing'er before?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

Proudly stepped forward, and whispered in Li Er's ear, "Your Majesty, Marquis Xuanwei wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to meet His Royal Highness King Wei. After His Royal Highness Wei Wang left you yesterday, he went to the East Palace."

Li Er frowned, thinking about it, the thieves must have known about this, so they took advantage of this to deceive Xuan Shijing.

"Deyi, go and arrange a thorough investigation of all the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace." His Majesty Li Er ordered.

"No." Deyi responded with a bow.

"Your Majesty, that's in Chang'an City." The captain who was kneeling on the ground carefully looked at His Majesty Li Er.

"Tighten up the guards at the city gates and strictly check. Once suspicious people are found, they will be taken into custody immediately." Li Er said, and at the same time, he also had a headache. No matter whether Xuan Shijing and Li Chengqian were involved in this matter, they wanted to confront each other in the street in Chang'an City. The kidnapping of Xungui is enough to touch the nerves of all the nobles in Chang'an City.

His Majesty Li Er rubbed his temples, then continued to pick up the memorial on the case and read it. After a quick look, it said that there was a spring drought in Jiangling, and countless seedlings died in the field. It was said that there was no snow in the Jiangling area all winter, and the rivers were dry.
Li Er, who was already a little disturbed in his thoughts, became even more depressed when he read the contents of this brochure. The Jiangling area experienced a drought last year, but this year it continued because there was no snow in winter.

"Deyi, the head of the Chuanhu Department came to see me." His Majesty Li Er ordered, he needs to know how much food can be spared in the treasury now.

"No." Deyi responded with a bow.

"Report to Your Majesty." A servant walked into the Tai Chi Hall and bowed in salute.

"Say." His Majesty Li Er replied impatiently, still holding the booklet in his hand, thinking about the drought.

"The Empress's old illness has relapsed, and Daoist Sun is rushing to the Lizheng Palace." Seeing that Li Er was a little irritable, the servant said cautiously.

As soon as he heard that Empress Changsun was ill, His Majesty Li Er's attention was diverted from the memorial, he threw down the memorial and got up and said, "Place yourself in the Lizheng Palace!"

Deyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the head of the household department"

"Tell him to come and let him wait for me in the imperial study." Li Er said, and then followed the servants in the palace to the Lizheng Hall.
