Tang Ge

Chapter 58

In the tent, light smoke curled up.A young maid was standing on the huge sheep felt mat, trembling all over, barely daring to lift her head.Seeing Li Shimin walking over, the maid suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please be merciful. As soon as the slave and servant go out and come back, the maid will...just..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "You should step back first!"

The maid suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe it.Li Shimin's strict military administration is famous all over the world.Although this is not considered military affairs, the maidservant is very clear about its significance to Li Shimin.So seeing that Li Shimin just ordered him to go down lightly, he couldn't react for a while.

Xiaohe turned her head to look at Li Shimin's expression, and suddenly felt a bit of unspeakable pity in her heart.Can't help but sigh inwardly, whether you are a sedan chair of heaven or a nobleman of the royal family, emotions and desires are human nature, in the first few years, when his human nature has not been completely wiped out, it is still inevitable to do it Troubled it.He quickly winked at the maidservant who was still in a daze, and the maid was not a fool, so she backed out obediently after realizing it.There was silence in the room for a moment, only Li Shimin's breathing became heavier and heavier.

Xiaohe stepped forward and helped him raise the curtain hanging from the floor mat.Slowly, a plain white woman who looked about 20 years old lay flat inside with her eyes closed, her complexion was pale and bloodless, and a red bruise lay across her neck that could not be concealed, making her look even more shocking .But these can't hide its beautiful appearance.Xiaohe glanced at it, and couldn't help sighing again, since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune to be born in troubled times with such a peerless appearance.

Li Shimin came forward with a calm expression, unable to tell what emotion he was in.After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Why are you doing this?"

Yang Guimei closed her eyes tightly and did not open them.She just slowly turned her head to the other side. After a long time, a tear slowly flowed out, slid down her fair cheek along the corner of her eye, and dripped on the white jade pillow.

Li Shimin came forward, sat on the bed next to her, and wiped away the tears with his hand, but unexpectedly, the tears suddenly became more and more, and he couldn't help sighing: "Are you so unconfident in me? I can definitely do it." You are safe and sound, and you will be sent back to Chang'an without knowing it, and there will be no rumors about it."

Seemingly unable to bear it anymore, Yang Guimei turned over and sat up suddenly, hugged Li Shimin's strong shoulders, cried and said, "Meier doesn't want to go back to Chang'an, she can go anywhere, but she just doesn't want to go back to Chang'an."

Xiaohe was stunned to the side, not knowing whether to go out or stand still without making a sound, there is no other sentence that can express Yang Guimei's heart better than this sentence, originally thought that Li Shimin was greedy for Yang Guimei's beauty , only after assuming the throne, he risked the world to marry his younger brother's wife by force, but now it seems that the facts seem to be completely different.

Li Shimin comforted her softly for a while, Yang Guimei tried to commit suicide by hanging herself, and then cried for a long time. She was already physically exhausted, and soon fell into a deep sleep.Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Li Shimin stood up, carefully placed her on the bed, waved to Xiaohe who was beside him, and walked out.Xiaohe followed behind him and walked into another big tent next to him. Li Shimin sat down on a mat. Seeing that Xiaohe was still standing there, he suddenly laughed and said, "You seem very fear me."

Xiaohe didn't expect him to say such a sentence, and was a little surprised for a while.But he straightened his face immediately, and replied respectfully: "King Qin was joking, the prince is the sedan chair of the sky, the invincible god of war in the Tang Dynasty, who occupies a high position, has made great achievements in battle, and has great military power in his hands. Who would not be afraid, my little brother?" The maid is not afraid of you, but just respects you."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What a clever girl, no wonder."

Seeing his treacherous smile, Xiaohe couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly said, "No wonder what?"

Li Shimin said: "No wonder you are still alive and kicking here, what else can you do?"

Xiaohe was embarrassed for a moment, and asked embarrassingly, "Why did you ask me to come?"

Li Shimin's complexion darkened, and the brows gradually frowned.

"Gui Mei is the concubine of my fourth brother."

Xiaohe bowed her head and said nothing, she didn't understand why he said this to herself, she was confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Li Shimin ignored her embarrassment, as if he was just looking for someone to listen to, he still said to himself: "She was originally the most famous singing girl in Chang'an City. When we got to her, who was almost raped by the rebel army, I rescued her. Then I got to know her. I planned to buy her back to the mansion, but suddenly there was another war in the south, so the matter was delayed. When I came back, she had already It's my sister-in-law, the dignified Princess Qi."

Xiaohe gradually understood that all her guesses afterwards were based on those few words in the historical materials.The true face of history can only be understood by being in it personally.In the past two years, Xiaohe has seen bit by bit that Li Shimin's position in the Tang Dynasty is far from being as majestic and indestructible as recorded in the history books.The prince's party is extremely powerful, from the ministers in the court to the concubines in the harem, almost everyone is not the prince Li Jiancheng.Li Shimin only got the support of some generals in the army, but the Tang Dynasty implemented the military system, and once there was no war, the generals would have no real power.

Xiaohe sighed softly. Li Yuanji had many eyeliners and found out that Li Shimin had a crush on a brothel girl.When Li Shimin was away from home for many years, he had to suffer hardships and fight bloody battles, while his brothers Jian Jian and Yuan Ji were living in the capital city, enjoying their lives, enjoying their lives, and living a luxurious life.It's no wonder that Li Shimin later became unbalanced and couldn't bear to kill his brothers and brothers.

"A few days ago, I stayed at my home in Jinyang and brought her to me when she was dying. She was seriously ill when she was in Jinyang, but Li Yuanji forgot about her when he fled in a hurry. My subordinates took advantage of the war to bring her She brought it to me, and now everything is more and more obvious, all of this was arranged by them long ago, and it is a dark move to deal with me."

Xiaohe sighed softly: "Why did the prince tell me? I'm just a little girl."

Li Shimin leaned forward suddenly: "Because only you can help me get through this difficulty now."

Xiaohe frowned and said, "How can I help you?"

Li Shimin half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Incite the people, rush into the camp, and kill Princess Qi!"

"what?"

In the second year of Wude, strange soldiers fell, and the world was in dispute.Liu Wuzhou marched into Huangsheling, Song Jingang attacked Yuci City unexpectedly, Li Yuanji abandoned the city and fled in a hurry, Pei Jibing buried his bones in the original place, and Lu Chongmao, a citizen of Xia County, took advantage of the situation and called himself King Wei, echoing Liu Wuzhou.Wang Xingben, the old general of the Sui Dynasty, occupied Puban and united with Song Jingang.At this point, most of Shanxi was under the jurisdiction of Liu Wuzhou, and the Tang Dynasty only had a corner of the southwest of Shanxi on the east bank of the Yellow River.
