The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 198 Prodigy

"Junzilou?"

Upon hearing this name, both Emperor Li Yuan and the Queen showed puzzled expressions, and then looked at Li Xinni, waiting for Li Xinni's explanation.

Li Xinni immediately explained what Junzilou was.

"That's right. After all, we have adopted a girl, but it doesn't make sense if we don't adopt a boy..."

After hearing Li Xinni's explanation, Emperor Li Yuan immediately nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he also looked at the boy in the arms of the woman beside him, and then asked: "I wonder where this gentleman's building is built?"

"My daughter has divided the palace into two parts, one half is the gentleman's building and the other half is the palace."

"So...that's fine!"

"..."

……

When we came out of the palace, it was already evening. Emperor Li Yuan and the queen originally wanted to keep Li Xinni in the palace for dinner, but Li Xinni refused.

Walking out of the magnificent palace, looking up to the horizon, the fiery red sunset infects the heaven and earth, and everything is red and sunset!

Li Xinni watched the sunset quietly, and An Weiyang beside her also watched quietly, but his eyes were looking at the magnificent buildings in the palace.

After a while, Li Xinni came back to her senses and smiled with the divine bird in her heart:

"Just now, I suddenly had a feeling of insignificance. The world is so vast, how much impact can what I do have?"

When Bai Zhi, who was hidden in Li Xinni's body, heard the words, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Looking up at the vastness of the universe, looking down at the prosperity of categories, so wandering your eyes and wandering your mind is enough to provide great visual and auditory entertainment, I believe it is a joy."

"Look up at the vastness of the universe and look down at the prosperity of categories..."

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Xinni couldn't help but immerse himself in these words and understand them carefully.

After a long time, she sighed softly and said: "But I am too worried!"

Li Xinni smiled, and then said: "It's just out of emotion. I feel that everything I have done is just a small wave in the long river of history. In the huge waves in the sky, it makes people feel sad." Undetectable!”

"It's not all small waves..."

Hearing Li Xinni's sigh, Bai Zhi couldn't help but smile. Li Xinni at this time, Princess Yong'an at this time, will definitely leave a mark in the history books, and her every move will even be sung by future generations.

At that time, the impact on future generations was huge!

Princess Yongan’s persistence will also be inherited by future generations!

Naturally, Bai Zhi would not say much about this, but he comforted him by saying, "It doesn't matter, for this long history, it can always exist!"

"If it can't be completed in one year, then it will take ten years. If it cannot be completed in ten years, it will take a hundred years. If it cannot be completed in a hundred years, then it will take two hundred years..."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Xinni was stunned, and then smiled and said: "Historical records indicate that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once lived a second life and lived for nearly two hundred years. I wonder if it was because of the divine bird?"

"..."

Li Xinni's answer was a moment of silence.

Li Xinni already understood and continued: "And in the history books, it is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pursued immortality in his early years, but in his later years in his second life, he rejected immortality..."

"...It's also true!"

Bai Zhi replied.

After hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Li Xinni continued: "So, the longevity that the world pursues is not necessarily a gift. Sometimes, it is a cup of poisonous wine. Only by drinking this cup of poisonous wine can you feel the longevity." pain of……"

Bai Zhi broke away from Li Xinni's body, floated next to Li Xinni, and looked at Li Xinni.

At this time, Li Xinni was able to say this sentence, obviously not from his own feelings, but from what he read in history books.

I don't have my true feelings.

So Bai Zhi said: "In that case, let's give it a try..."

"After all, there is no immortality. This Women's Palace and Junzi Tower may also pass away not long after you pass away..."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Li Xinni paused immediately. How could she not know that what the divine bird said was also true.

Even now, there are many suspicious people wandering around the palace every day.

If I don't have the protection of Princess Yong'an in the future, I'm afraid that the palace will be destroyed by those people in an instant!

Li Xinni was really silent this time.

An Weiyang, who was being held by Li Xinni at the side, also felt her sister's hand holding her hand tighten.

She looked up at her sister beside her, only to see her serious face.

……

After returning to Princess Yong'an's residence, Li Xinni called the person in charge of the palace to explain the construction work of Junzi Tower.

"Both the palace and the gentleman's building built in the future will have their own schools!"

Li Xinni said this: "In the palace of women, poetry and books and other classics are taught to the girls, while in the gentleman's tower, all kinds of classics, martial arts, objects, etc. must not be abandoned!"

"Even if the boy in the gentleman's building cannot become a gentleman, he must become an upright man!"

……

The news of Princess Yong'an's return to the city has spread throughout Chang'an City, and only one day has passed since Li Xinni returned to the city.

In the palace, the chief officer of Honglu Temple told Emperor Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy requested to see Your Majesty, otherwise, he will not discuss with your ministers. At the same time..."

"At the same time what?"

Hearing the silence of the chief officer of Honglu Temple, Emperor Li Yuan couldn't help but frown. He could feel that the Tibetan envoy probably didn't say good things.

"Replying to Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy said that if Your Majesty does not agree to Tubo's request, the Tibetan army may be defeated again!"

"presumptuous!"

Hearing this, Emperor Li Yuan was immediately furious. He put down the document in his hand, looked down at the chief official of Honglu Temple, and said, "Didn't they hear the news that the prince returned victorious from the Turks?"

"They must have heard it, but in their opinion, the Turks are not strong..."

After hearing this, Emperor Li Yuan was silent for a moment and said: "Go and tell the Tubo envoy that I, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, will soon lead his army back in triumph, and that the next target is Tubo!"

Now that Tubo has made threats, the Tang Dynasty will not tolerate them!

"At the same time, immediately notify the Tibetan envoys after you return and ask them to leave the Tang Dynasty immediately. When we meet again, we will fight with swords!"

At this time, Datang had the strength to say this.

If Bai Zhi were here, he wouldn't be surprised to hear Li Yuan say this.

After all, in the original history, the Tang Dynasty succeeded the Sui Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty had already consumed a lot of national power because of Emperor Sui Yang's conquest of Goryeo, and then went on to build the Grand Canal.

Wait until after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Tang Dynasty has dropped greatly, and even the surrounding Tibetans and Turks cannot be solved for a while!

But it is different now. The current Tang Dynasty was inherited by the powerful Han Dynasty. Although there were many heroes competing for the throne, the heroes of the world did not dare to go on large-scale conquests or massacre the city because they were afraid of the existence of the divine bird.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty established at this time was already approaching the military front of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Li Yuan was full of confidence when he said this!

"Yes!"

Hearing Emperor Li Yuan's domineering words, the chief officer of Honglu Temple seemed to be infected, and immediately walked out of the palace with great momentum.

Li Xinni, who was in the palace, was also notified of the news by the female officer on duty in the palace.

"The Tibetan envoy marries the princess?"

Hearing this, Li Xinni couldn't help but think of the former Han Dynasty. Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the Han Dynasty was established, it seemed weak compared with the Xiongnu on the northern grasslands.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty adopted a marriage agreement in exchange for peaceful coexistence with the Huns. However, in exchange, the Huns still often intruded on the border.

By the time of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't bear this and directly launched a war against the Xiongnu!

In the end, Hanhai drank his horses, Yanran reined in his horses, and captured the vast land in the Western Region, making the Xiongnu dare not go south to herd horses!

At this time, in the Tang Dynasty, there were no powerful Xiongnu in the north, and there was only a weak Turk, but it was defeated by the Tang Dynasty not long ago. However, on the plateau in the southwest, there is a Tubo!

Strictly speaking, the Tubo and Xiongnu were not strong compared to the Turks at this time.

However, Tubo was on a plateau, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could not easily set foot on it!

It also created a natural danger for attacking Tubo!

"The Tibetan envoy made it clear that he would marry Princess Yong'an of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Want to marry me?"

When Li Xinni heard this, she looked stunned and immediately smiled, "I think my father definitely didn't agree!"

"That's right! Your Majesty heard that Tubo was going to marry the princess, so he didn't see the Tubo envoy. And today, the Tubo envoy dared to threaten the Tang Dynasty."

"If the Tang Dynasty does not marry the princess to Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will use troops to deal with it! Therefore, Your Majesty directly expelled the Tibetan envoys from Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty!"

"In this case, we will definitely have to fight again!"

Hearing this, Li Xinni did not smile, but was a little worried.

After all, if there was a falling out with Tubo, there would definitely be a war.

"Yes!"

The female palace lady on the side also said: "However, His Majesty has sent a message, asking the prince who is in Shazhou City to directly lead troops to the southwest to guard against Tubo!"

Li Xinni nodded and then asked: "What did the minister of the DPRK say about this matter?"

"Minister of the DPRK..."

"Many people suggest that the princess of the former Han Dynasty be married to Tubo to replace you, the princess..."

"inappropriate!"

Hearing this, Li Xinni immediately shook his head.

She said directly: "How can the princess of the former Han Dynasty humiliate her? Even though the former Han Dynasty has been destroyed, the princess of the former Han Dynasty cannot be treated like this. Without the great Han Dynasty, how could the Tang Dynasty be like today?!"

"Exactly!"

The woman on the side said: "His Majesty said the same thing at that time..."

……

……

Perhaps due to the deliberate guidance of the imperial palace, the people in Chang'an City knew about the Tibetan envoys, and also knew that the Tibetan envoys were driven out of Chang'an and out of the Tang Dynasty.

It attracted a lot of applause.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the hatred of the people in the city towards Tibet.

But the battle is still too far away for ordinary people.

For Princess Li Xinni, she can also be said to be a party involved, and it does not have much impact.

She was either busy in the palace or building the gentleman's building.

At the same time, due to the emperor's order, various places in the Tang Dynasty also paid special attention to orphans.

Officials from all over the country personally deal with the orphans under their control. If there are any relatives, they will find relatives to raise them. If their relatives are unwilling to raise them, they will be sent to Chang'an City.

Of course, the family property left by the parents of an orphan cannot be obtained by relatives who are unwilling to raise the orphan.

After the orphans grow up in Chang'an Women's Palace and Junzi Tower, they will inherit the property left by their parents.

Therefore, Li Xinni had to deal with many things every day, and there were more and more boys and girls in the female palace.

In fact, many of them are uninhabitable.

In response to this, Li Xinni had to build a separate palace for women and a gentleman's building outside the city. It happened that it was also under Lishan Mountain, and the emperor personally ordered a large area of ​​land.

……

On this day, Li Xinni was dealing with things in the Women's Palace and the Gentleman's Tower under Lishan Mountain. He saw a directory recording such a thing:

"A child prodigy comes from Yiwu, Wuzhou. He can compose poems at the age of seven. He is so catchy that everyone praises him. At the same time, he also reads poetry books and other books thoroughly. Every time he takes an exam, he can answer their meanings!"

"child prodigy……"

Because Li Xinni deals with children's matters, she often hears about this kind of thing. However, the fact that this news can appear in front of her specifically in the form of words shows that this child prodigy is indeed real.

It was not deliberately bragging by local officials.

Below, there is detailed information about this child prodigy and the poem he wrote:

"Born into a poor family..."

"...the music is singing to the sky, the white hair is floating on the green water, and the red palms are stirring the clear waves..."

“Catchy indeed!”

Seeing this, Li Xinni couldn't help but smile.

"This poem is a good way to enlighten children!"

"King Luo Bin..."

……

As time goes by, the stars move.

In 630 AD, Prince Li Shimin led troops to fight against Tibet, and Tibet was defeated. However, when the Tang army pursued Tibet and penetrated hundreds of miles into Tibet, they were exhausted and the soldiers had difficulty breathing, so they had to lead the army back.

However, Tubo was also afraid of the military power of the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to invade the border towns of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Prince Li Shimin led his army back.

Outside Chang'an City, Li Xinni, accompanied by several women, stood on a distant path and looked at the figures of the army on the official road in the distance. After a moment, he turned and left.

"In this way, there will be no foreign enemies around the Tang Dynasty..."

Li Xinni couldn't help but sigh.

"But the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty are still not as good as those of the previous Han Dynasty!"

The woman on the side said this.

"Ex-Han..."

Li Xinni knew that the territory of the former Han Dynasty included the vast Western Regions, but at this time, the Tang Dynasty did not inherit the territory of the Western Regions.

Therefore, it is necessary to slowly regain the lost ground later.

But recovering the lost territory in the Western Region should be a matter of the future, and is not as urgent as the invasion of foreign enemies.

The following time is like sand at the fingertips, passing slowly, calmly and easily. Since Prince Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City, no major events have happened in the Tang Dynasty.

There is no foreign invasion in the northwest.

In the southwest, Tubo will no longer invade.

However, in the second year, news came out from the palace that Emperor Li Yuan wanted to abdicate, which suddenly caused the peaceful city of Chang'an to become turbulent and undercurrent again!

Some people secretly speculated about what happened in the palace.

At the same time as this incident spread, some people knew that the divine bird had just appeared in the palace.

Therefore, people can't help but guess whether it is because of the divine bird. Was it the divine bird that caused the emperor to abdicate and let the current prince inherit the throne? !

However, this is also everyone’s guess.

Of course, as Princess Yongan, Li Xinni naturally knew what happened.
