Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 289 Chapter 299: Qin Shubao Sued

Qin Qiong was excited when he heard the words, Li Hao saw that he was so excited, and knew that he was wrong, reminded: "Uncle Qin, even if my plan succeeds this time, it is impossible to bring down the prince."

"What?" Qin Qiong was shocked when he heard the words, as if he had been splashed with cold water, froze for a moment, and asked with a frown, "Why? Killing the master! This is a serious crime of inhumanity, filial piety, loyalty, and unrighteousness. The emperor will Let a master-killer continue to be the prince?"

If Li Hao is not familiar with history, he probably thought the same as Qin Qiong, but the fact is that in history, after Li Chengqian failed to assassinate Zhang Xuansu, Li Shimin did not abolish his crown prince. Of course, punishment cannot be escaped.

Li Hao straightened his thoughts and explained: "Uncle Qin, you know His Majesty's superior methods, and you personally participated in the Xuanwumen incident, and it is precisely because of his disgraceful superior methods that he immediately appointed Li Chengqian after he ascended the throne." As the crown prince, this is to tell the world that he will insist on the ritual of establishing the elders and establishing the heirs, and not mess with the principles. Otherwise, the people will be rude, the ministers will be incorruptible, and the throne will be unstable if the etiquette system does not exist. He also did this to stabilize the throne Of course, at this time and at that time, when His Majesty first took the throne, he made such a move to appease the people of the world, but now, he has become a wise king, and the throne is stable, so there is no need to worry about this problem. I will eventually To bring down the prince, but this time the plan is not strong enough."

Qin Qiong deeply agreed with Li Hao's words, and nodded thoughtfully: "You are very reasonable, then tell me, how should I speak to the emperor so as not to be suspected?"

"This matter..." Li Hao said, "It's best not to talk about it as a monarch and minister, but to talk about it in terms of your friendship with the emperor, you...you know what I mean."

Although Qin Qiong has a straightforward personality, but after all, he has been in the court for many years, so this kind of thing is naturally obvious, nodded and said: "I understand."

"That's good." Li Hao picked up the wine glass and said, "Little nephew toast Uncle Qin, and wish Uncle Qin every success."

The next morning, Qin Qiong called Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji, and the three of them went to Taiji Palace to ask Li Shimin to see him. On this day, Lord Mao, the three of you came to see me together, could something serious happen?"

Cheng Yaojin grinned and said: "Your Majesty is worrying too much, we are here this time because we miss His Majesty."

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, then he laughed loudly, stepped off the throne, came to the three of them, and said: "We are still friends, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Qin Qiong said: "This morning Zhijie and Li Ji came to look for me, saying that the autumn is high and refreshing, and invited me to go hunting. We were just about to go out of the city, but we remembered the heroic spirit of fighting on the battlefield together, and we couldn't help thinking of Your Majesty, so we changed our minds and came Seeing Your Majesty is also a good way to recall the past years of glory and glory."

Li Shimin couldn't help but his expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and suddenly he felt a sense of being a hero. At this moment, Li Ji sighed softly: "So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and we are all old..."

"Who says we are getting old?" Li Shimin is No.1 in the world after all, and he has a strong will to admit defeat. He just refuses to accept his old age. He walked to the gate of the hall and looked at the white clouds floating in the blue sky. The weather is too good No matter how good it is, he said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do today. Didn't you say that you are going to go hunting? I will go with you and reminisce about the years when we were prosperous and prosperous!"

"This..." Qin Qiong hesitated after hearing the words, "Your Majesty, how could you go hunting in such a hurry..."

"This time I don't bring a guard of honor, I'm going on tour in modest clothes." Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll make arrangements."

He didn't give Qin Qiong and the others a chance to object, so he went back to the palace to make arrangements. It was nothing more than a disguise, and by the way, he would take care of his servants, and he would not meet anyone who asked to see him.

Not long after, Li Shimin changed into a round-neck silk shirt and an ordinary hat, appeared in front of the three of them, and said, "Let's go."

Li Ji was a little dazed, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going out like this? Without guards?"

"Don't worry about that." Li Shimin raised his hand and said, "Xu Lian will arrange someone to protect him secretly, besides, don't you bring any relatives with you?"

Qin Qiong said embarrassingly: "The three of us have less than a hundred people in total."

"That's enough." Li Shimin said with a smile: "There are neither bandits nor rebels near Chang'an, so what are you afraid of, let's go!"

Li Shimin was more excited than the three of them. The three of them looked at each other, showing shame. They were spending their friendship with Li Shimin. This kind of behavior made them feel very bad. If they didn't say anything, they could only sigh softly and follow Li Shimin's footsteps.

Both the guards of the palace gate and the imperial city recognized Li Shimin. Seeing Li Shimin's attire, they naturally understood that the emperor was planning to go on tour in low clothes, so they did not dare to stop them.

After leaving Chang'an, Li Shimin proposed to go hunting in the mountains near the Scientific Research Temple. After all, there are thousands of Jinwu guards there, and no bad guys dare to approach.

At noon, a group of them arrived at the foot of the green mountain. Although the mountains are not high, there are many, one after another, and there are few people around here, so there are naturally many birds and animals. How about we compare the three of us to see who can catch more prey?"

Cheng bit Jin's mouth wide, laughed and said: "Then your majesty will lose. Although the three of us have not been on the battlefield for a long time, we have never slack off our martial arts. We are always old, and we are still proficient in horse bow and horse."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh, you mean, I've been slacking off? Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you that although I'm busy with state affairs, I haven't lost the skill of bowing horses. Come on, today I will have a good time with you." You compare."

Although they competed, they did not split up. After all, they brought too few followers, and ensuring Li Shimin's safety was the most important thing. Anyway, as long as they saw the prey, they would compete to shoot arrows. Whoever shoots it counts. Cheng Yaojin played tricks many times. The second time was when other people shot the prey, he insisted that he shot it himself, all kinds of shamelessness made Li Shimin laugh out loud, he felt that the happiest day since becoming emperor was just like this.

Seeing Li Shimin happy, Qin Qiong and the others felt a little less guilty. Let Li Shimin have a good time, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

In the afternoon, they set up a simple tent and started to grill their prey with a fire in front of the tent. Cheng Yaojin took out the fairy wine he brought and roasted the prey himself. In order to eat delicious barbecue, he and Li Hao It took a long time to get those seasonings from Li Hao.

Unexpectedly, after Li Shimin took a mouthful of roasted venison, he turned his head and vomited it away, frowning and said, "No, it doesn't taste like this."

Hearing this, Li Ji immediately understood, took a piece of roasted venison without seasoning and handed it to Li Shimin, saying: "Your Majesty, try this piece."

Li Shimin took it and took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Yes, this is the taste. Although it is bland and tasteless, it still smells like meat, but ah, it is this taste. When we went to war, the army was short of salt all the year round. We ourselves can't eat salt without permission, alas, it was really hard back then, but it was precisely because we set an example and established iron-like military laws that our Datang army was invincible."

"What your Majesty said is true." Qin Qiong said, "The king of Qin established the military law back then, and the generals in the army must drink and eat with the soldiers. This simple military law has allowed many soldiers to survive the difficult situation. Fight for the prosperity of Datang today."

"You call me King Qin so well!" Li Shimin patted his thigh and said cheerfully, "I haven't heard anyone address me like that in so many years, so, today, you will call me Zhen... no, you can change it back." In the previous title, I called this king King Qin, haha, I feel like I am 20 years younger, haha..."

The four of them laughed heartily, chatting more and more vigorously.

Gradually getting drunk, Qin Qiong felt that the time was ripe, and said: "King Qin, although you are famous and have led us to fight for thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, I am still worried."

"Oh?" Li Shimin blushed, hiccupped, and asked, "Why are you worried?"

"Say something offensive." Qin Qiong said, "Actually, everyone is going to die. None of us here can escape. Tell me, King Qin, if we die, what will this Tang Dynasty be like? What is the virtue of His Royal Highness?" ..."

When he said this, he suddenly shut up, as if he realized that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly apologized: "I... I made a slip of the tongue, I deserve to die."

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he waved his hands and said: "It's agreed that it doesn't matter whether the emperor or his ministers are at the moment. Tell me, is Chengqian messed up again? Just say, anyway, you are his uncle. Uncle blames my nephew's fault." ,nothing."

Qin Qiong pretended to be very embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Chengqian, my nephew, I have heard of some of the mistakes he made in the past, and you also disciplined him strictly because of this, King Qin. His trip, but just yesterday, I saw Chengqian galloping on Chang'an Street, chasing the sedan chair of Zhang Xuansu, the left concubine."

"Oh?" Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why did Chengqian go after Zhang Xuansu in such a reckless manner? How could a horse gallop on the streets of Chang'an City, and it would be so bad if it hurt the people."

"I thought so too at the time." Qin Qiong said, "Because of my curiosity, I sent someone to investigate quietly, and finally found out that it was because Chengqian had a banquet in the deep palace, drinking and having fun with eunuchs and maids, and lost his manners. Zhang Xuansu persuaded him, but he contradicted Zhang Xuansu, Zhang Xuansu was furious, and said that he wanted to play to His Majesty, but the prince was afraid of being punished by His Majesty, so he rode his horse and galloped on the street, chasing Zhang Xuansu, apologizing to Zhang Xuansu, and begging him not to play, so Disregarding the safety of the people, alas..." At the end of his speech, he felt that he couldn't continue, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

After Li Shimin listened, his face was overcast, and his good mood was completely ruined. This is not a basin of cold water, but a basin of ice water, the kind that is poured from head to toe. He suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up and said: " It's getting late, we should go back, remember, after you go back, don't tell anyone what happened today."

"Yes." The three of them bowed their hands together and accepted the order. They knew that King Qin had disappeared, and Tian Khan, the majestic king of the world, had returned.
