At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 835 The Change of Xuanwu Gate ([-])

In the spring of Rongrong, Chang'an City, Prince Qin's Mansion, a boy about two years old, who is not yet walking steadily, is riding a small wooden horse at the moment, holding a wooden sword in his hand, humming and yelling, frowning and glaring, as if Playing the role of a fierce general who kills the enemy on the battlefield, he has quite a bit of momentum.

This kid is called Li Chengqian, the eldest son of Li Shimin and the Turkic princess He Min, Li Shimin cherishes it very much, and has been teaching him carefully during the time he lived in Chang'an, and this kid seems to like to fight and kill, so he is deeply loved by Li Shimin .

Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian, the son of the King of Qin, who was "charging and killing" but fell to the ground. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. His Royal Highness loves riding and shooting. He will definitely be a general in the battlefield in the future. Worse than the king."

I don't know when, the officials in Tiance's mansion are used to calling Li Shimin the king, maybe it's subconsciously comparing him with the prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "This little brat is still far behind, he has to practice slowly."

Zhang Gongjin said with a smile: "Jade cannot be made into a tool if it is not cut, it must be polished carefully."

While everyone was talking, Liu Hongji rushed in and said, "My lord, it's not good. Mr. Fang was injured and lost a finger."

Li Shimin's complexion changed slightly, Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "Which blind person dares to hit the people of Tiance Mansion, and even broke one of Mr. Fang's fingers, he really doesn't know how to live or die."

Liu Hongji said with a dark face, "It's Yin Ashu!"

A sharp light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mr. Fang now?"

"In the side hall, the imperial physician is treating his wounds." Liu Hongji replied.

Li Shimin ran to the side hall in a hurry, and everyone hurried to catch up.When Li Shimin rushed to the side hall, all the counselors and generals of Tiance Mansion were there, each one was filled with righteous indignation and enthusiasm, and when they saw Li Shimin, they cheered and surrounded him, and someone shouted: "The king is here, please give the order, At the end of the day, I will bring people to flatten Yin's house, capture Yin Ashu, break off his ten fingers, and avenge Mr. Fang."

Li Shimin was no longer the impulsive young man he used to be. He glanced majestically, and all the brave generals present couldn't help but shut up awe-inspiringly.

"Mr. Fang, how is your injury?" Li Shimin walked to Fang Xuanling and asked with concern.

Fang Xuanling's face was pale, and there were bruises on his face. He bandaged the ring finger of his left hand and fixed it with two branches. He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern. It's just a small injury. This subordinate is fine."

"What happened?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Fang Xuanling told the story. It turned out that not long ago Fang Xuanling rode by the gate of Yin A Shu's house, but was pulled off his horse by the gatekeeper of Yin's house and beat him up. disrespectful.

By the way, who is this Yin Ashu?To be so arrogant, how dare to beat Qin Wang Li Shimin's mastermind, Fang Xuanling?

It turns out that this Yin Ashu is the father of Concubine Yin De, the favorite concubine of Li Yuan's harem. This guy sounds like a common man, but he has a good life. He gave birth to a beautiful daughter, married into the palace and became a favorite concubine, so the Yin family was left alone. After being enlightened, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, and the whole family conferred officials and titles, gave them houses and land, and made them rich and powerful.

Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji are usually very fond of Concubine Yin De, and they are rumored to have an affair with Concubine Yin De, so the Yin family is a clear princeling, standing on Li Jiancheng's side, and Li Shimin has never flattered Li Yuan's concubine, so he is extremely unpopular with concubines in the harem .

Last year when Li Shimin destroyed Liang Shidu, Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu both sent their families to Shuofang to ask for the treasures in Liang Shidu’s palace, but Li Shimin didn’t give him a penny, saying that all the treasures had been registered and would be handed over to the court in the future , and the seized treasures should be used to reward meritorious soldiers, not to be divided privately among the powerful.

For this reason, Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu hated Li Shimin very much, and worked harder to slander Li Shimin.Another time, Zhang Jieyu's natal family took a fancy to a piece of land and asked Li Yuan to give it to the Zhang family. Li Yuan readily agreed, wrote an imperial edict, and gave the land to the Zhang family, but the land had already been given away. Li Shimin rewarded the meritorious minister Li Shentong. The Zhang family took Li Yuan's edict and asked Li Shentong to give up the land.

Zhang Jieyu went to Li Yuan and cried, and Li Yuan was furious, and called Li Shimin to scold him, and asked, "Is my edict not as good as your King Qin's edict?"

Li Shimin was scolded but did not retreat, saying that the land was rewarded to meritorious ministers. Although the Zhang family was a relative of the emperor, they had no contribution to the Tang Dynasty. How could the land be given to the Zhang family, let alone that piece of land? I have already given Huai'an Wang Li supernatural powers first, so how can I take them back? Wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of the soldiers who have made meritorious service?In the end, Li Yuan had no choice but to give up resentfully, but he also became dissatisfied with his second son.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were overjoyed, and they even gave money and goods to curry favor with the concubines in the harem, letting them speak out in front of Li Yuan, so Li Yuan alienated Li Shimin even more, and the family relationship between father and son became colder and colder.

Today, when Yin Ashu saw Fang Xuanling passing by the gate of his house on horseback, he immediately felt revenge, and ordered his servants to step up and take Fang Xuanling off the horse, beat him up, and broke his left ring finger.

Let's talk about Li Shimin's anger looming after listening to Fang Xuanling's description, Hou Junji said murderously: "The last general will go and slaughter this rat!"

"Junji, don't be reckless!" Changsun Shunde quickly stopped him.

Hou Junji said angrily: "Our Tiance Mansion is famous and admired by the whole country. Do we still have to be angry with this rat? If you are afraid, you can stay here. I will go to take Yin Ashu's head alone, and all consequences will be up to you." I will bear it."

All the powerful generals present were immediately stirred up, each one was full of murderous intent, raised their weapons and wanted to wash Yin's mansion with blood, Zhang Gongjin's complexion darkened, and he sternly shouted: "Hou Junji, shut up for me, if you can't bear it, you will mess up big plans. Come on, do you want to bring trouble to the king?"

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, but slowly came to his senses, frowned and said, "Mr. Fang was beaten like this, so let's just forget it?" After speaking, he looked at Li Shimin with a gloomy expression.

Everyone looked at Li Shimin, obviously waiting for him to express his opinion!
Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "Junji, just like what Gongjin said, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble and make big plans. It's not the time to deal with Yin Ashu, let him be arrogant for a while."

Hou Junji frowned and said, "How long will we have to endure, people will ride on our heads and shit and piss."

Li Shimin couldn't help clenching his fists. At this moment, a guard of the royal palace rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

There was a sudden silence all around, Li Shimin frowned and said, "Has this alarmed the emperor?"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Shunde both shook their heads, they did not report the matter to the palace, unless the villains of the Yin family complained first.

Hey, the two guessed right, Yin Ashu started to get scared after beating Fang Xuanling, worried that Li Shimin would retaliate, Tiance's mansion is full of murderous tough people, so he hurriedly found his daughter Yin Defei Help to settle.Concubine Yin De was a little scared when she heard that Fang Xuanling had been beaten, so she complained in front of Li Yuan first, saying that Fang Xuanling beat the Yin family first.

Li Yuan was furious, and immediately sent someone to call Li Shimin into the palace for questioning.

Let's say that when Li Shimin came to the palace, Li Yuan just reprimanded him without asking why. The former was so sad and indignant that he just knelt down without saying a word, neither admitting his mistake nor refuting it.

Li Yuan became more and more annoyed, this son really relied on his meritorious service to overwhelm the sky, and he didn't take himself seriously as a father, so he scolded him even more severely, Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu couldn't help but secretly proud when they saw this.

However, at this moment, a palace official came in hurriedly and reported: "Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles sent from Lingzhou is urgent, please have a look."

Li Yuan frowned, and hurriedly opened the eight hundred miles, his wrist trembled slightly, then he put away the report calmly, and said with a slow expression: "King Qin, get up!"

Li Shimin stood up, and glanced at Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu indifferently, both of them felt a chill for no reason, and lowered their heads in fear.

Li Yuan coughed lightly and said: "Shimin, my father has always placed high hopes on you, but it's just a matter of deep love and responsibility. Don't take it too seriously. Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu are both my favorites. It is also your family, and we must love each other in the future, and there should be no more conflicts."

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "My son, I will always remember my father's teachings."

Li Yuan nodded, and handed the urgent report from Lingzhou to Li Shimin, saying: "The general manager of Lingzhou, Li Xiaoji, is in a hurry for [-] miles. Jieli Khan is going south to invade the border of our Tang Dynasty. Lingzhou is in a hurry. You Let's see how I respond."

Li Shimin knew that there was a reason for his father's sudden 180-degree turn in his attitude. He dared to say that the Turkic people had invaded aggressively, and he had to rely on his son to defeat the enemy.

Li Shimin took the eight hundred miles and read it quickly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the internal turmoil in the Turks has been quelled by Jieli, and now they are going south, the situation is very bad, but the father is at ease, and the minister has confidence." It is not too late to repel the Turkic army, so I will go back to Tiance Mansion to gather the generals to discuss the strategy of repelling the enemy."

Li Yuan was slightly relieved when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Then King Qin, let's go."

Li Shimin hurriedly left the palace with the urgent report, Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu looked at each other worriedly, the former cried and said, "Your Majesty, is it just the matter of Fang Xuanling beating the concubine's father?"

Although Li Yuan dotes on Concubine Yin De, but he still can tell the seriousness of the matter, comforted: "My concubine, your father is not injured, the one who suffers is Fang Xuanling, you have to forgive and forgive others, let's let this matter go."

Concubine Yin De tactfully stopped making a sound immediately, but she was even more afraid in her heart. The king of Qin made great achievements in the world, and he kept his promises in the army. Her Yin family can never expect to have a good life.

Zhang Jieyu was also terrified. Their Zhang family also bet their treasure on Prince Li Jiancheng. The consequences of standing in the wrong team would be very serious.

　Happy New Year.I wish you a good year this year.All walks of life are prosperous, and the book friends and their families are healthy and happy, and everything goes well.
