Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 159

Seeing Changsun Wuji crying pitifully, Li Shimin suddenly became suspicious, stretched out his hand to help him up, and asked, "Uncle Guo, what happened to He Zudao?"

Changsun Wuji knelt on the ground for a long time, but when he got up, his knees felt sore and numb, he bared his teeth, took a breath, and cried, "He Zudao... He Zudao..."

After most of the grief and indignation in his heart had subsided, Changsun Wuji suddenly hesitated. He couldn't tell Tang Taizong that his son had heard such a famous name and was so angry that he vomited blood, right?
Seeing that Changsun Wuji kept chanting He Zudao's name, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and asked, "He Zudao is playing chess with your sixth son again?"

As soon as this remark came out, Changsun Wuji felt his eyes darken, his legs softened and he almost didn't kneel on the ground again.

"No, no." After shaking his head again and again, Changsun Wuji said with some embarrassment: "There is no way to heal my son's illness, but..."

Li Shimin saw that the elder Sun Wuji hesitated again, and mistakenly thought that He Zudao held grudges and refused to save him, so he said in a cold voice, "Could it be that He Zudao can't save him if he sees death?!"

Although Changsun Wuji hated He Zudao, he didn't dare to lie in front of Li Shimin, fearing that the Holy Majesty would misunderstand him, he quickly explained: "No, I am afraid that He Zudao would not save him, so he came to ask the Holy Majesty for an order."

Knowing Changsun Wuji's doubts, Li Shimin turned angrily and smiled bitterly, "Wuji, how will you know if you don't try? Why don't you be so cold-blooded?"

Facing Li Shimin's question, Changsun Wuji was speechless, let out a long sigh of discouragement, and murmured: "There is a gap between my minister and Hu Guogong's day, and Run'er, Chong'er, and Tan'er were repeatedly beaten and ridiculed by He Zudao." , if you want to come here, He Zudao is very likely to die."

"That's right, the misunderstanding between your two families is a little bit bigger." Li Shimin almost laughed out loud when he saw Changsun Wuji's deflated look, and thought to himself, "Your own son is incompetent, why should you come here to wrong him? Think about it Li Zhi's marriage to Changsun Chong is really not as good as marrying He Zudao."

Although he already had opinions about Changsun Chong and He Zudao in his heart, Li Shimin said with a light smile because of his face: "It's okay, I'm going to write an imperial decree now. Call him tomorrow..."

In the middle of the story, Li Shimin was afraid that He Zudao would be made things difficult by the eldest grandson's family when he crossed the mansion. At that time, with the ability of this "commoner leader" who fought against the Turkic thieves, if there was a disagreement with words and hands, he would not have to overthrow the eldest grandson's mansion. ?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin, who was determined to bring He Zudao into the palace to test his virtues, had a flash of inspiration, and continued: "Tell him to enter the palace tomorrow, and then you will carry the eldest grandson Dan into the palace. If you want to come, He Zudao will be in the Daming Palace." You won’t be left to die, will you?”

Changsun Wuji got Li Shimin's promise, and he nodded repeatedly, "I will carry Dan'er into the palace tomorrow morning, thank you for your success."

"Okay, you will stay in the palace after tomorrow morning, and accompany you to meet this famous "No. [-] of the Commoner List"!"

After speaking, Li Shimin turned over and returned to Zichen Palace to write the imperial decree, while Changsun Wuji rushed all the way back to the mansion, asking Guan Mutong and others to try to delay Changsun Dan's injury.

"Long live, let me accompany Shengjia to meet tomorrow." Walking in the corridors of the palace, Changsun Wuji stopped and rubbed his sore knees. There was a slight arc.

"Tomorrow when He Zudao cures Dan'er's condition, the old man will definitely find out his faults. Thinking about this little thief who is a newborn calf, it is inevitable that he will be disrespectful. At that time, Long Yan will be angry, and I will fan the flames, haha, Why don't you just wait to go to the prison of the Criminal Ministry to eat dog food!"

After making up his mind, Changsun Wuji took a step forward, walking like the wind, and most of his hesitant eyebrows were opened.

In the Zichen Hall, Li Shimin sat in front of the Longshu table, pondered for a moment with the imperial pen in his hand, and then swiped at the imperial decree of Huang Ling.

As soon as the writing was completed, Li Shimin handed over the imperial decree to the servant, and ordered: "Xuanhe Zudao will enter the palace tomorrow morning, remember to take him to the imperial garden, and just say that I am here... I am reviewing the memorial and tell him to wait in peace!"

Thinking of the rumors about He Zudao, Li Shimin, who is well versed in the way of manipulating others, does not want to meet Fang Yiai in his real identity. After all, who dares to show his temper in front of the current emperor?
After writing down the imperial decree, Li Shimin stroked his beard and whispered, "I have heard for a long time that He Zudao's chess skills are extraordinary. I think this chess skill is no different from his character. Why don't I pretend to play a game with him? I can also take this opportunity to test his temperament!"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin then ordered the servant: "Go to the imperial hospital to get two imperial doctor's robes, remember not to use new ones!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin stood up and walked out of Zichen Hall slowly. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Shimin looked at the moon sky and murmured: "Why not? I didn't give you a chance. Whether you can be my son-in-law depends on your performance tomorrow." Already!"

In the second hall of the Qin Mansion, Fang Yiai had a hasty dinner, got up to say goodbye to Qin Qiong and Xie Zhongju, then grabbed Qin Jingniang's wrist, and said, "Jingniang, go to my room..."

In the middle of the conversation, Qin Qiong and Xie Zhongju put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looked at Fang Yiai suspiciously, with the expression of "Okay you a disciple" written all over their faces.

After noticing the weird expressions of the two, Fang Yiai coughed in embarrassment, and said, "Jing Niang, I got a guqin today, how about playing it in my room?"

Seeing that Fang Yiai wanted to take her to play the piano, Qin Jingniang blushed and said shyly, "He Lang, I don't know how to play the piano."

"It's fine if Jing Niang knows how to listen, let's go."

Fang Yiai liked Qin Jingniang's hearty personality more and more. After whispering to the beautiful woman, Fang Yiai dragged Qin Jingniang out of the second hall regardless of Qin Jingniang's reaction.

When the two came to the guest room, Fang Yiai lit the candle, and carefully took out Jiao Weiqin.

Holding the Jiaoweiqin in her hand, Fang Yiai said to the beauty: "Jing Niang, this is Cai Bojie's Jiaoweiqin."

Qin Jingniang doesn't like red makeup and prefers to be armed. She usually works with knives, guns and sticks. At most, she has learned some female red embroidery. How can she know how to play the piano? "He Lang, do you have any allusions to Jiao Weiqin?"

Seeing Qin Jingniang's bewildered face, Fang Yiai smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to the wooden stool, and said to the beautiful woman, "My lady sit here and listen to the humble man talk carefully."

Just like that, the two of them sat side by side in front of the desk, quite like a couple talking at night.

Reaching out to open the window sash in front of her, Fang Yiai looked at the bright moon sky, sighed softly, and told Qin Jingniang how Cai Yong rescued the tung wood from the fire, how he made the tung wood into a Mingqin, and how he played Jiaowei. allusion.

After listening to Fang Yiai's narration, Qin Jingniang nodded slightly, obviously she was not very interested in these elegant matters of literati.

After sensing Qin Jingniang's thoughts, Fang Yiai smiled slightly and said, "Jingniang, listen up."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yi Ai Qu plucked the strings of the qin and played the "Swordsman" for the beautiful lady.

Hearing the melody with sometimes exciting rhythm and sometimes low and melodious rhythm, although Qin Jingniang didn't know how to play the qin, she was fascinated by the sound of the qin, and looked at her sweetheart holding the qin and laughed silently.

After playing the piano, Fang Yiai turned to look at Qin Jingniang, and whispered, "Jingniang, these days I have made you worry about me."

Thinking that Qin Jingniang might be punished by Empress Changsun because of herself, Fang Yi was filled with guilt, caressed the beauty's cheek, and murmured, "I will definitely come back to marry my wife after I get the first prize in the martial arts exam."

"My family is waiting for He Lang to arrange flowers and wear red to come to the Qin Mansion to hire him. It's just He Lang's crime of deceiving the emperor..."

Whenever she thinks of Fang Yiai's crime of bullying the emperor, Qin Jingniang feels her heart break, and subconsciously grabs her sweetheart's hand.

"Because my husband has always been auspicious and has his own celestial appearance, nothing will happen. My lady, just wait for me to pass the martial arts exam!" As he spoke, Fang Yiai gently embraced the beautiful woman, looked at the moon sky outside the window, and said in his heart: "If On the day the pseudonym was announced, the Holy Master Longyan took my head in a fit of anger, so it should be considered that I have betrayed Jingniang!"

As he said that, Fang Yiai suddenly remembered another love story related to Qin Se, and said to Qin Jingniang with great interest, "Jingniang, do you know the story between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun?"

At this time, Qin Jingniang just wanted to be by her sweetheart's side, snuggled into Fang Yiai's arms, and whispered: "I don't know, why don't He Lang talk to the slave family?"

"Okay, Jing Niang, please listen."

"Sima Xiangru saw that Zhuo Wenjun was born to sink fish and wild geese, so he played the famous song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" during the banquet. After the banquet was over, the talented Zhuo Wenjun heard the meaning of Sima Xiangru's piano, and went to Sima Xiangru's residence at night. , the two of them are harmonious and destined to last forever."

After hearing the story of Sima Xiangru, Zhuo Wenjun and "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", Qin Jingniang looked a little lonely and murmured: "It's a pity that Jingniang is not as talented as Zhuo Wenjun, and she is not worthy of He Lang who is as talented as Sima Xiangru." ..."

Fang Yiai originally wanted to make the beautiful woman happy, but she also wanted to let go of the guilt in her heart. Seeing Qin Jingniang's expression was lonely, she couldn't help but secretly scolded herself for being stupid and demented. How did she turn this matter into the opposite direction? !

After thinking for a while, Fang Yiai looked down at Qin Jingniang and said, "Jingniang, do you know Hua Mulan?"

Hearing the name of "Hua Mulan", Qin Jingniang nodded again and again, "Jingniang knows that Hua Mulan is a heroine, she joined the army in place of her father..."

In the middle of the sentence, Qin Jingniang only felt the warmth of her vermilion lips, and Fang Yiai came up to her like she was drunk in the mountain village that day!

For a moment, the beauty was flustered, Fang Yiai turned around to look at the beauty, and said with a smile: "Jing Niang doesn't like red clothes and arms, how can she fall behind for her husband? I think that when the lady rode horses and raced for the deer, she had a bit of the legacy of General Hua. "

Reminiscent of the arrogance she showed in front of Fang Yiai that day, Qin Jingniang was so shy, she hesitated and said, "Did the servants be a little arrogant that day?"

Seeing the beautiful woman's coquettish attitude, Fang Yiai joked: "Yes! There is something there... It's clearly arrogant!"

"Want to come to my lady in the red tent... Can you show her style that day?" Saying that, Fang Yiai pretended to be Mochizuki and sighed, "I wish I could win the champion of martial arts immediately and renew the marriage alliance with my lady!"

Seeing Fang Yiai's face full of smirks, Qin Jingniang spat softly and said shyly, "My enemy! You're making fun of him again."

Looking at Qin Jingniang with blushing cheeks, Fang Yi said lovingly: "Haha, Jingniang is shy."

After being speechless for a while, Qin Jingniang bit her lips lightly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "He Lang, where will I live tonight?"

As soon as these words came out, two little people appeared in Fang Yi's heart.

Little white man: "Of course I'm going back to the boudoir. If you are beheaded by Li Er, you will become a widow in your youth!"

Little Blackie: "Pedantic, of course I live in the guest room. Why don't you cut off your head? Li Er's two daughters will also become widows if their heads are cut off!"

Little white man: "No, a gentleman starts with love and ends with propriety, and performing Zhou Gong's rituals without a marriage contract is just to make ends meet!"

Little black man: "Bah, you, a modern person in the 21st century, why do you look like a coffin? Could it be possible that you have become an eunuch after staying with that little eunuch Xie Zhongju for a long time?"

Under the quarrel between two opposing thoughts in his heart, Fang Yi's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know how to make a choice.

Just as Qin Jingniang was shy and silent, Fang Yiai hesitated, the door was suddenly pushed open, and then the icy Xie Zhongju pushed the door and walked in.

Entering the room, Xie Zhongju glanced at Fang Yiai and Qin Jingniang expressionlessly, and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room!"
