Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 243 Li Heng: You are a mighty polo player.

Li Mingda's current behavior belongs to the cultivation system.

Everyone was happy to see the result, except Li Shimin and the two Li Zhi, who looked at Li Yu who was held in Li Mingda's arms with extremely hostile eyes every day, as if the child had robbed them of some treasure.

"I'm telling you, you three, why are you always looking at other people's children like this?" Liu Bang crossed his legs and played mahjong on the table. "As the saying goes, no one can keep a good girl in college."

"Stop talking!" Li Shimin's face became darker and darker.

"I'm not fooling you, hey." Liu Bang played mahjong with one hand, "You still have an unmarried daughter, Ying. This kid has grown up, and it's time to marry the princess."

"Xincheng was promised to the little twelve of Lao Zhu's family. Chengyang is still waiting to be married, but he is only fifteen years old this year. If you are not in a hurry, let Liu Ying wait for two years." Li Shimin peeled off an Ayue Pistachio, put it in your mouth.

Liu Bang thought for a moment and nodded in affirmation.

But we have to wait a little longer. Liu Bang said that we should wait until Princess Chengyang is fully grown up and her body has grown up. But the actual reason... is that Liu Ying is still a little unable to make a move.

Liu Bang always chewed his teeth and disliked Liu Ying for not being like him and being too cowardly.

Even if he dislikes him, Liu Ying is his legitimate son after all. In fact, Liu Bang still thinks highly of him.

Recently, Mrs. Qi has stopped making noises about making Liu Ruyi the crown prince. Ever since Lu Pheasant took the Huanyan Dan, she is no longer the old and beady old lady. In terms of appearance and temperament, she is even several times better than Mrs. Qi. Come on grade. Old Liu thinks more with his lower head. Since Lu Pheasant is now more beautiful than Madam Qi, there is no need for Madam Qi to go.

However, Mrs. Qi didn't stop either. She dressed unkempt in the palace every day and pounded rice whenever she had nothing to do. Just pound the rice. What song do you want to sing? That's all for singing, but the problem is that you are still arrogant and angry about Liu Bang's preference for the new and his dislike of the old - Old Liu is very angry. You old lady, can't you figure out who is new and who is old?

You are the new one! Lu Pheasant is the old one!

Based on the principle of out of sight and out of mind, Liu Bang ordered Liu Ying to supervise the country and came to Datang with Lu Pheasant.

As long as Liu Ying is here, no one can survive the storm. After all, Xiao He and Fan Kuai are die-hard princelings.

After a few months of excitement during the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Qing left the child to Li Mingda to take care of, and took Li Shimin with him to embark on the road of opening up the map again.

It's not that Li Qing wants to go, it's mainly because it annoys Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning finally figured out why Li Qing stuffed a pill into the newborn Li Yu - this bastard actually competed with the child for food.

What is metamorphosis...

In this regard, Li Qing said, what's wrong with men being perverted? !

On the way, Li Shimin also gave a thumbs up.

"I don't believe you didn't steal it from Gao Ming and the others." Li Qing looked at Li Shimin with a neither red nor white face.

Li Shimin looked at Li Qing with a complicated face, and he really hit the mark with his words.

From Li Chengqian to Princess Chengyang, who has not had his rations stolen by Li Shimin?

Besides, can this kind of thing be robbery? This is obviously...it is obviously correct and in line with Zhou etiquette!

……

In the second year of Changqing, Daming Palace.

Since Li Heng came to the throne, he has been very enthusiastic about hunting, entertainment and banquets, and even indulged in entertainment all day long. Recalling that when he was still attending the funeral for Xianzong in the court, Mu Zong made no secret of his preference for entertainment. After Xianzong Li Chun was buried in Jingling in May of the 15th year of Yuanhe, he became even more unrestrained.

As expected, just a few days after Tang Xianzong Li Chun was buried, he went hunting for fun with his entourage. In June, the Empress Dowager Guo moved to Xingqing Palace in Nannei, and Mu Zong led the attendants of the Sixth Palace to hold a grand banquet in Xingqing Palace. After the banquet, he returned to Xing Shen Ce Youjun and presented many awards to his trusted lieutenants and generals.

Should I say it or not, Li Chun actually misjudged Concubine Guo. Judging from the performance of Concubine Guo among the three dynasties of Li Heng and his three sons Jingzong Li Zhan, Wenzong Li Ang and Wuzong Li Yan, Guo Guifei was not keen on government affairs and just lived her own life in the harem.

It’s understandable. How many Wu Zetians are there in this world? Her grandsons all ascended the throne as adults, and there is no need to imitate Wu Zetian's imperial title system.

After Empress Dowager Guo moved to Xingqing Palace in Nannei, Mu Zong Li Heng went to Shence Zuojun every three days, and also visited Chenhui Gate, Jiuxian Gate and other places in order to watch performances such as horns and operas. .

July 6th was Mu Zong's birthday. He made a whimsical celebration ceremony, but gave up angrily because some ministers pointed out that such a practice had not been done since ancient times. Li Heng also carried out extensive construction work in the palace, building Yong'an Hall, Baoqing Hall, etc.

A rockery built in the palace collapsed and seven workers were crushed to death at one time. When the Yong'an Hall was newly built, he watched hundreds of plays there and had great fun. In Yong'an Hall, Mu Zong also held a "secret banquet" with the noble lord of the middle palace for fun, and even his concubines participated. In addition, he also spent a lot of money to renovate and decorate the Anguo, Ci'en, Qianfu, Kaikai, Zhangjing and other temples in the capital, and even specially invited Tibetan envoys to watch.

One day in November, Mu Zong suddenly issued an edict: "I will go to Huaqing Palace temporarily the next day and return immediately at sunset." At this time, Tibet and Nanzhao in the northwest were leading troops to invade the territory, and Lieutenant Liang Shouqian of the Shence Army led Shence. More than 4,000 soldiers from the army and soldiers from eight towns came to help. The situation was very tense. Li Jiang, the imperial censor, and Cui Yuanlue, the constant servant, knelt down outside the gate of Yanying Hall to admonish.

Mu Zong actually said to the ministers: "I have decided to go ahead, don't bother me anymore." The remonstrators' repeated advice was ineffective.

Early the next morning, Mu Zong left the city from Fudao of Daming Palace to the direction of Huaqing Palace. He was accompanied by a guard of honor from the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army, as well as more than a thousand envoys, kings and consorts from the Sixth Army, until it got very late. Just returned to the palace.

Regarding Mu Zong's "excessive feasting and excessive wandering", the admonishment doctor Zheng Tan and others jointly advised him: "Now the border is tight and the situation is changeable. If there is an urgent military intelligence report from the front, I don't know where your majesty is. What should we do? In addition, Your Majesty often hangs out with actors and actresses, and rewards them lavishly without restraint. These are the blood and sweat of the people. How can you give random rewards without merit!"

Mu Zong felt very fresh when he saw such a seal, so he asked the prime minister who these people were. The prime minister replied that he was an admonisher. Mu Zong expressed his condolences to Zheng Tan and others and said, "You should follow your words." Mu Zong's attitude made the prime ministers happy for a while, but in fact he didn't take what he said seriously at all. When he turned around, Mu Zong still went his own way.

Li Heng worked hard at the front and worked hard at the back. This was quite professional, comparable to the... skinheads of later generations.

More people came to remonstrate, and Li Heng's attitude was also very good. He also believed that what they said was indeed reasonable - but he was warm and polite, which meant that I accepted it humbly, but I was determined not to change it.

There was nothing the courtiers could do about the emperor being so fond of having fun.

After all, you can't tie up the emperor to handle government affairs, right? This is not in line with Zhou etiquette.

Of course Li Heng knew that no one could control him. He felt that Li Chun had laid a good foundation for him, so now he indulges in playing polo with the eunuchs every day. Polo is really interesting, polo is good, polo is wonderful, polo is awesome.

Unlike Cuju in the Song Dynasty, polo is a traditional sport of the Tang Dynasty. After all, there was no shortage of war horses in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, emperors Zhongzong, Xuanzong, Mu Zong, Jingzong, Xuanzong, Xizong, and Zhaozong were all men who were keen on polo. In addition, in the sixth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued a special edict to include polo as one of the subjects for military training. Therefore, polo became the number one sport in the Tang Dynasty's court.

If Gao Qiu was reborn in the era of Tang Jingzong and Li Heng, and practiced his polo skills, he would have no problem becoming a general of the Shence Army.

Li Heng was good at equestrian skills. He was galloping around the polo field, holding a crescent-shaped club in one hand and holding the reins in the other.

"Sorry, it's too high!" Li Heng swung the club hard and knocked the ball away.

After all, looking at his smug look, he didn't mean to be sorry at all.

"Everyone is so good at playing football!" The eunuch on the side immediately stepped forward to praise him. Li Heng laughed, rode up to the concubine who was watching the game, took the towel and wiped the sweat on his face, turned around and shouted happily: "Come again!"

The eunuchs immediately stepped forward. After all, they were playing ball with the emperor, and everyone was extremely careful. Just like in football, you must pass the ball to the team leader and let him shoot more shots; the same is true in basketball, let the team leader shoot more shots.

It doesn't matter whether they can get in or not, attitude is the most important. You can't change the table while the leader is picking up the food, or you can't drink the toast from the leader. What would that be like? I feel uncomfortable.

The polo flew towards Li Heng at high speed. Li Heng laughed, stretched out his hand to catch it, and swung the stick hard. The polo hit a eunuch on the shoulder with a bang.

"You, a dwarf, can block the ball?" Li Heng put one hand on his hips and pointed at the short eunuch with a bat in his other hand.

He never expected that his fatal blow would be blocked by the dwarf's single human wall.

Li Heng wasn't angry at all, he was more teasing. Everyone is accustomed to it. Sometimes when something like this happens, or someone's horse stumbles, the emperor will always point at the unlucky guy and make a joke.

Everyone laughed, but within a moment, a eunuch next to Li Heng staggered on his horse for a long time, as if he had been hit on the head by something, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"What happened to the kidney?!" Li Heng was shocked to learn that he had inherited Ma's accent.

He looked down and saw that the eunuch was already bleeding from all his orifices, and he saw that he was dying.

His face was purple and his eyes were protruding, like a ghost, which frightened Li Heng all of a sudden.

Because the incident happened suddenly, everyone was a little surprised. Looking at the appearance of the eunuch who fell from his horse, it seemed as if he had been struck by a foreign object. Everyone's first reaction was that there might be an assassin.

But the assassin wouldn’t use an air cannon, right?

After all, they had been in the palace for a long time. Soon, the eunuchs on the left and right surrounded the astonished Li Heng and walked towards the Zhonghe Hall.

"What happened just now?" Li Hengwu was shocked. The eunuch's appearance was really scary.

The eunuchs on the left and right looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on.

Soon, the person who dealt with the eunuch behind him followed up. The chamberlain named Chen Quan beside Li Heng followed Li Heng's horse and whispered: "Everyone, Wang Chengyi was not poisoned. From my perspective, he seems to have been hit by some external force..."

It's okay if I don't say it, but it's even more scary when I mention Li Heng.

This era is not like modern times where there is no talk of strange powers and gods. People nowadays are superstitious and will easily connect everything to ghosts and gods.

And Wang Chengyi was one of the eunuchs who followed Chen Hongzhi, Wei Yuanzhi and others to kill his father, Tang Xianzong Li Chun.

For no reason, Li Heng related this matter to his father.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Ever since he released Chen Hongzhi and others for protection, he always felt like something was watching him from the dark side. This was also the reason why he indulged in vocal music. Only in this way could he numb himself and tell himself There is nothing wrong with everything.

Then play music, then dance!

"My young lady, can you tell that he was hit by something?" Another eunuch on the side asked subconsciously.

Who in the palace doesn't know how the late emperor died? Not to mention the palace, even the common people in Chang'an City talked about this matter after tea and dinner.

They didn't dare to say anything that made them suspect that the current emperor had committed regicide; but the fact that Chen Hongzhi and others committed regicide was just a lice on a bald man's head - it was obvious, who didn't know?

"This..." Chen Quan was silent for a long time, and he did not dare to say anything nonsense.

In fact, he was also scared. Then Wang Chengyi was fine on the horse. Besides, he was not the one who got hit by the emperor before. Why did he fall off the horse all of a sudden? Is it as scary as having a mace put on your head?

Could it be...that he is really a ghost?

Silence fell among the crowd.

Li Heng didn't say anything for a long time. He handed the polo stick to Chen Quan and began to wonder what was going on.

Could it be that the late emperor really came back to claim his life? But I can't. I saw it clearly when I was buried in Aye. The late emperor was obviously too dead to die...

Or is it the evil spirits of Tutu Chengcui and King Li Yun?

Thinking of this, Li Heng suddenly remembered the Li Chun body he saw at that time.

His orifices were bleeding, his eyes were bulging, and his face was purple, just like the eunuch.

Li Heng couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't dare to think any more.

"Everyone, the Zhonghe Palace has arrived." The eunuch on the side reminded.

Li Heng looked up and saw that the Zhonghe Hall had indeed arrived.

He took a deep breath and prepared to go back to Nannei Xingqing Palace to find his mother, Queen Mother Guo, to discuss what had happened.

Thinking this, Li Heng got off his horse.

But I felt dizzy, and my feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.

He plopped down on the ground, but found that no one came to help him.

"These dogs..." Li Heng raised his head with difficulty, only to find that the eunuchs had knelt down not far ahead and were trembling.

Li Heng couldn't help but be a little surprised, what's going on?

He looked up and met a pair of familiar eyes.

"A...Aye?" Li Heng asked in shock, "Are you not dead?"

(Please vote for me and happy New Year!)
