A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 706 Prince Liangdi and Wu Erniang

The next day.

The emperor decreed,

Those guards who were imprisoned and were supposed to be executed were handed over by the emperor to the prince.

"Prince order!"

Wu Huaiyu read out the crown prince's order to the guards kneeling in front of the small courtyard, pardoning everyone. Whether they were the imperial guards who originally belonged to Beiya, the South Yamen, or the East Palace, they were now incorporated into the left and right ranks of the East Palace.

The left and right inner commanders of the East Palace are equivalent to the left and right palaces of the imperial court and belong to the East Palace security organization.

His subordinates include Prince Qian Niu Bei Shen, Prince Bei Shen Left and Right, Prince Bei Shen and other bodyguards and military attachés. They are in charge of the guards in the East Palace and serve as soldiers. The left and right inner ranks do not have jurisdiction over the soldiers of the outer palace, and there are no subordinates such as merit officers, magic officers, etc. to join the army.

The chief and deputy chief officers are the commanders and deputy commanders, and their subordinates include Chang Shi, Lu Shi, and Bingzhou Ercao.

The guards who had been restless all night knelt down excitedly to thank the prince for his kindness when they heard the news.

Although many of the guards here are children of noble officials, what happened yesterday was so big that if the emperor really wanted to kill him, no one would be able to save him.

"Get up, although the emperor is wise and the prince is kind, you did seriously neglect your duties yesterday. You can be exempted from the death penalty, but everyone is reduced to three levels for use. You will be punished for your crimes and will be observed later.

If you still cannot perform your duties to the best of your ability, you will be dismissed from your post. "

Many guards were implicated yesterday.

In addition to the dead, there are still nearly a hundred people.

Now they are all assigned to the East Palace and become the guards of the East Palace, subordinate to the left and right Nei Ling Mansion.

Wu Huaiyu understood that this was the emperor's intention to let them remember the prince's kindness, so that they would be loyal to the prince in the future, and they also secretly agreed that their efforts were not as good as their past.

The prince forgives these people and saves their lives. They will definitely remember the prince's kindness and be loyal to the prince in the future.Besides, there is such a stain on him. If he performs poorly, new and old accounts will be settled together, which will be even more serious.

Li Shimin really loved the prince enough. Maybe it was because the prince was still young, or maybe he had killed his brothers and imprisoned his father, so he paid special attention to the family relationship between father and son, and even overcompensated for it.

The sixth leader of the East Palace commanded a lot of inner soldiers, and there were almost twenty outer soldiers who led the army.

There are still many soldiers in the East Palace.

The emperor is young, and the prince is also young. Now there is nothing suspicious about the father and son, as the father is kind and the son is filial.

"You will do your best to do your job from now on, and don't despair."

Cheng Qian made a sound in the room,
All the guards knelt down to thank the prince for the gift.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Huaiyu announced that Su Lie had been promoted to the position of Prince Yousiyu, commanding his brigade and Ben troops to take on the task of escorting them. They were stationed outside the manor.

The guards in the prince's palace are led by Wu Huaiyu, who is mainly responsible for the guards in the manor.

Liu Renyuan also transferred the right inner commander to become the seventh-grade prince to serve as a guard, with arrow guards in the east palace.

The guards who were demoted three levels in a row and were in fear all night looked at Liu Renyuan with envy, but they could only say that he was both lucky and capable.

First of all, Liu Renyuan is from the Qianqi Camp. He was not actually the prince's escort yesterday, but he happened to be close to the prince's team yesterday. When the tiger attacked, he immediately rushed to the rescue. The tiger-riding battle was very eye-catching. Emperors have deep memories.

So he was promoted from the leader of the Thousand Cavalry to the prince's assistant, from the ninth grade to the seventh grade. This was an eight-level promotion in a row, but there was nothing to say except envy.

Wu Huaiyu handed a set of royal bows and arrows to Liu Renyuan.

"Protect His Highness the Crown Prince well from now on,"

In terms of duties, the prince's bodyguards are not as high as those of the prince Qianniu's bodyguards, but at this time Liu Renyuan has obviously become the number one bodyguard of the East Palace.

"Teacher, share the tiger meat and tiger soup with everyone,"

Cheng Qian said again in the room.

The guards, soldiers and horses of the prince's left and right nei Lv and the prince's left and right siyu who stayed inside and outside the manor were all rewarded with tiger meat and tiger soup.

He was also given royal wine.

Two tigers weigh a thousand pounds, and even after skinning and removing the belly, there is still a lot.

Cheng Qian hated the two big insects.

He listened to Wu Huaiyu's suggestion and asked the emperor to pardon the guards. As Huaiyu expected, the emperor finally transferred these people to the East Palace.

The emperor even asked Su Lie and Liu Renyuan to be transferred to the East Palace.

The emperor has returned to Chang'an and cannot stay outside for long.

However, the prince temporarily stayed in Miyuan and stayed at Bailu Manor to recuperate from his injuries.

To the prince, those guards and Luben sergeants are all his own men. It is necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the people's hearts.

It's not bad to take out the two tigers who were the culprits and eat them separately.

After Li Shimin was busy with government affairs, he came with several prime ministers and elders to see the prince and say goodbye to him. However, he saw the inner guards of the East Palace and the outer soldiers were sharing tiger meat and tiger soup, and were also sharing royal wine. ,

Everyone is very excited,
When father and son met, Cheng Qian was in very good spirits, which even surprised Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji and the others were also surprised. The prince was so seriously injured. Most young people would only be afraid of being severely shocked. However, apart from lying down and unable to move, the prince seemed not to have much impact. He was even still reading.
The emperor took a look and saw that it was a draft of Zhenguan Law.

"Father, please let me peel off the skins of those two giant insects and make cushions for my father and queen. They will definitely be warm in winter.

Then make vests for Qingque and Pheasant Slave. Qingque is fat but is afraid of the cold, and Pheasant Slave is still young. He will definitely be very warm wearing this big insect skin vest. "

Qingque is the nickname of Wei King Li Tai, and Pheasant Nu is the nickname of Jin King Li Zhi. Both of them are brothers of the same mother as Cheng Qian.Li Shimin stroked his eldest son's back and was very moved, "It's rare that you can still remember this at this time,"

"Does your leg still hurt?"

"I'm much better after taking the teacher's medicine. The teacher said it might take a hundred days to heal,"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is really brave. The day before yesterday, he dared to draw his sword to protect the wild boar. Yesterday, he fought a tiger and broke his leg without saying a word. You are truly majestic."

"My great son," Li Shimin was very pleased. The older his son became, the more mature he became, which satisfied him more and more.

"Once your legs are well-conditioned, you should practice more riding skills. If you encounter an emergency again, you won't have to take off the stirrups and press on your legs."

Li Shimin fought in the north and south, and charged on the battlefield countless times. Six of his mounts died on the battlefield, and he even fell off his horse more than once.

Even on the day of the Xuanwu Gate Palace Incident, he fell off his horse while chasing Yuanji, and Yuanji almost strangled him to death with a bowstring.

"Teacher You, Huaiyu's medical skills are quite good. He is a close disciple of the land immortal Xiaoyaozi. With his help in treating him, he will be back to his original state soon. You don't have to think too much, and you can rest assured here to recuperate.

Your teacher will accompany you, so you can sit at the prince’s Taibao’s house with peace of mind. When you have time, you can also ask Shu Bao for advice on riding, archery, and combat skills..."

The two of them talked a lot,
"After my father returns to the palace, I can tell my mother that my son's injury is just a minor injury. Is that okay?"

"Um,"

Li Shimin nodded.

Before the emperor left, he had a private conversation with Huaiyu and Qin Qiong, asking them to help take care of the prince.Although the emperor left a lot of guards and horses, he would also soon transfer palace officials, eunuchs, imperial doctors and even musicians from Chang'an to serve the prince.

"It's all up to you."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take good care of Your Highness."

"The prince's legs must be restored to their original state." Li Shimin emphasized again and again.

If the leg is lame, even a little bit, this is something Li Shimin cannot accept. "If you need anything, just ask. At any cost, the prince's leg must be intact."

If eating tiger meat and drinking tiger soup can help strengthen the muscles and bones, then Li Shimin will order to capture countless tigers for the prince to eat. He will get everything from bear liver, leopard gallbladder, and even whale blubber to oil.

Huaiyu had no choice but to tell the emperor again and again that the prince's injury was not serious and he would recover in a short time. Even when the prince was young, his bones could recover faster.

"I remember that Duke Zhou's second daughter is not engaged yet, right?"

Li Shimin suddenly mentioned the daughter of the warrior Tong again. Cheng Qian wanted to marry Wu Erniang before, but the emperor refused. Li Shimin and his wife were interested in the daughter of the martial arts Su family. For this reason, the father and son had an awkward moment.

Later, it was Wu Huaiyu and Samurai Xun who took the initiative to express their views and even created a false engagement between Wu Erniang and Hongnong Yang's son.

This matter has actually already passed.

After all, Wu Erniang is only six or seven years old, and the prince is only 11 years old. The two have only met a few times, so there is no possibility that they will have any real love. Li Shimin used to think that this was just the Wu family's desire to move up a level. That’s all.

"Back to Your Majesty, the fourth uncle said that the second mother is still young and there is no rush."

Li Shimin smiled,
"Since we haven't been engaged yet, I will treat the prince Liangdi as the crown prince. I will discuss it with the queen later and send someone to the Wu family to propose the marriage."

The emperor's tone did not mean that he wanted to discuss it;

Rather decide.

Below the crown prince, the concubines can include two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, ten Chenghui, 16 Zhaoxun, and 24 Fengyi.

The prince Liangdi has a very high status in the East Palace. After the prince succeeds to the throne, Liangdi will definitely be one of the four concubines.

"Your Majesty, Er Niang is the daughter of my fourth uncle. I cannot make decisions without authorization..." Wu Huaiyu was also surprised that the emperor mentioned this matter again. He didn't know if this was a test or something else.

But the emperor waved his hand and could not refuse.

The emperor is very busy,

Even if the prince injured his leg, the emperor would not be able to stay with him in Miyuan for too long.

I went out hunting this time with the intention of coming to Yongkang Mausoleum to offer sacrifices and to check out the name of Sanyuan’s new trial method.

I have been out of Beijing for several days and have to go back.

Before Yujia left, Changsun Wuji found an opportunity to have a brief chat with him.

Su Lie was promoted to Prince You Siyu. Although he was responsible for saving the crown prince yesterday, he also strongly recommended it.
"The matter of Su Dingfang going to Nanzhong to serve as the governor of Yaozhou will probably be out of the question for a while. At least it will have to wait until next year, after the prince recovers from his leg injury. Then I will make arrangements." Changsun Wuji said.

Huaiyu knew that he hoped that Wu Huaiyu could help promote Gao Shilian's return to court.

"Don't worry, uncle, Xu Guogong will be back soon. I have already told the saint about this. The saint said that he will summon Xu Guogong to return to the court after the new year."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji looked happy and said, "Thank you so much, Erlang."

He smiled and said, "The saint wants to marry the second daughter of Duke Zhou to the prince Liangdi for the prince. I think this marriage is very good. We will be more intimate in the future." Changsun Wuji expressed his support for this matter.

In Changsun Wuji's view, the daughter of the Wu family becoming the crown prince Liangdi is definitely something the Wu family wishes for.

But he didn't know that this incident caught Wu Huaiyu a little off guard. He didn't know whether it was good or bad. In the past few years, he had a good relationship with Samurai Xun, but he actually deliberately kept some distance from his cousin.

He doesn't know whether history will change, or even hopes to change it.

Unexpectedly, now that the emperor has spoken a word, Wu Erniang will enter the palace again?

Although she is only six or seven years old now, and may have to wait seven or eight years before entering the palace, Wu Huaiyu feels as if there is a powerless force interfering.
