Concubine Tang through space

Chapter 60

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, during which Jin Teng, Du Teng, Wei Ruren, and Xiaoyan became pregnant successively. In the 7th year of Wude, they gave birth to eighty and ninety-one princesses respectively. Yang Xi gave birth to the sixth prince Li Yin in the 8th year of Wude. But it was Li You, the fifth prince born of the Yin clan, who was conferred the title of Yiyang King that day, and the intention of suppressing it was obvious.

Yang Xi recovered a little the next day after hearing the news but smiled, sat on the bed, raised her hand to straighten her hair, took a few sips of ginseng chicken soup handed over by He Niang, and took a bowl Passed it to He Niang, and said indifferently: "...Many of the descendants of the collateral lineage are slowly being reused. Seeing that the situation on our side is stable, I guess the emperor is planning to let our Yang family have the same surname." When the two factions fight, it is easy to control, in the future there will only be more things that one party suppresses the other, and it is not a bad thing for Ah Yin to feel wronged for a while."

"What you said is, what shall we do next?"

"Hide your strengths and bide your time, you order people outside to cooperate with the prince's actions as far as possible without any trace, and the people in the mansion will settle down." After a pause, Yang Xi thought of the Jin family who was now focused on playing Wei Gui's monkey, with a smile on her face. It's a little bit less. "Let the people around Jin take good care of her, and don't go to Wei Gui's place if you have nothing to do." Jin still has great uses, and she can't be defeated by Wei Gui so early.

He Niang led the order to go out, Yang Xi thought about Su Lin from Qi Yuan, her beautiful little face wrinkled into a ball, she bit her eyes shut for a long time, it is still too late to provoke Su Lin.

Before dawn on June 9th of the 6th year of Wude, Princess Pingyang led five thousand Tiance troops to surround her. Su Lin was awakened, and when she hurriedly dressed and washed, she thought about sending someone to pick up Gao Yu and her four daughters. Arriving at the Qi Yuan, I exchanged a few words with Qian Xi, who was dozing off and seemed confused, and then I left the mansion with Li Heying. I saw Princess Pingyang at the outer door, and I wrinkled and said hello, but I couldn't say much. sentence.

Then he followed Li Shimin and started fighting, all the way through the Xuanwu Gate to Taiji Palace. The Xuanjia army was facing the imperial guards. Su Lin's task was to contain Li Zongshi, who was also a congenital warrior. Li Zongshi obviously didn't try his best when fighting her. She doesn't know if this is a trick of Grandmaster Li to show weakness, or if Grandmaster Li really has other plans, but Grandmaster Li can have multiple paths in this matter, but Li Kuan in her family has only one path, so she is always very serious and cautious Treat Li Zongshi seriously.

Grandmaster Li was wearing a very simple robe. After nearly a hundred moves with Su Lin, he was hit to the point. He didn't care about being an emperor, but he didn't know what to do with the little baby in front of him, and he didn't want to keep his hands anymore. He immediately took out the dart hidden weapon and threw it out, and at the same time drew the soft sword from his waist, let his mind go, and concentrated on killing.

In the morning light, the green light was reflected on the dart, which was obviously highly poisonous. Su Lin frowned, dodged a few hidden weapons, and activated the law of poison. , to attack Li Zongshi's vitals.

The two played bloody and murderous intentions, and the Taiji Palace was in chaos.

The battle lasted until the evening before the first step was over. Su Lin finally used the poison law to kill Li Zongshi, beheaded Li Zongshi and went to meet Li Shimin. "My lord."

In the main hall of Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin and nearly 30 of his cronies were discussing the matter after cleaning up the prince and King Qi. Hearing the voice, he looked up at Su Lin who was approaching the door step by step, and then saw the head in Su Lin's hand, squinting. After a while, his martial arts were not taught by Grandmaster Li, and he didn't have deep feelings for Grandmaster Li. Before that, he was worried about reaching an agreement with Grandmaster Li. Su Lin was straightforward and saved him a lot of trouble, but Su Lin's Martial arts entered the country too quickly...

Those who can stand here basically know that there is a Grandmaster Li in the Tang Li family, and a Grandmaster Su in the Qin Palace. Civil servants learned about Su Lin from Li Shimin, and generals learned about Su Lin's combat effectiveness from the army. Grandmaster Su's clothes were disheveled and there was a lot of blood, but he held Grandmaster Li's head calmly, and his heart shuddered in unison. Seeing Su Lin's gaze quietly changing, respect and fear, only listened to Li Shimin said: "Li Heying , you go and settle down with Grandmaster Li." A generous burial is necessary, and Grandmaster Li is also a member of Tang Li's family anyway.

"Yes." Li Heying responded from behind Li Shimin and walked in front of Su Lin. After saluting, he took over Su Lin's hand and walked around Su Lin to exit the hall.

Su Lin glanced at Li Heying, ignored the others, stood at a random position, and didn't listen to what the people in the hall were discussing. She only counted the medicinal materials she had collected, and then thought of Li Shimin's enthronement and Li Kuanyou's coming soon. It doesn't matter if the power of the Su factions Meng Qian and Wang Ze continues to expand, but Su Yan's power must be restrained. At least on the surface, it cannot continue to grow, otherwise it will cause a backlash from all parties, and various incidents will follow one after another, delaying her In cultivation, Li Kuan is also in danger at any time.

At night she went back to Prince Qin's mansion and had a meal with Princess Pingyang, the eldest grandson, and seeing Princess Pingyang's complexion the next day, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?" Princess Pingyang didn't bring her two children to Prince Qin's mansion. Could it be that something happened to those two Doudings?

Princess Pingyang smiled, with some sadness in her eyes, and said for a moment: "Brother Prince and Brother Yuanji are gone." Her mother gave birth to five children in total, and Brother Yuanba passed away in the second year after her father ascended the throne. She and Yuanji had thought about the ending, but when they actually faced each other, they still felt uncomfortable. No matter how much they fought when they grew up, they were always friends when they were young, and they were close relatives of the same blood.

Su Lin was silent, looked around, found no place to sit, and patted Princess Pingyang on the shoulder. "I'm afraid my son will have to be taken care of by you in the future."

"...I heard from Ah Shao's analysis that you are very likely to be named a noble concubine."

"I just want to know what realm is above the innate realm."

Princess Pingyang laughed, the innate realm is the highest realm of a warrior she knows, Su Lin really dares to think about it. "...the ambition is really big."

"Maybe there really is the fairy world in the storybook." Su Lin also laughed. "If there is a day when you touch the threshold of the fairy gate, you will die without regret."

Princess Pingyang looked at Su Lin, if Su Lin really focused on practicing martial arts and didn't ask other things, and didn't make careful plans for Li Kuan, then Li Kuan would at most be a wealthy and virtuous king in the future, and the children didn't let Su Lin focus on martial arts After the separation, she really didn't know whether to say that Su Lin was too cool or that Su Lin was too determined in martial arts.

On the 7th, Li Yuan became seriously ill and recuperated, and issued an imperial decree to make Li Shimin the crown prince and hand over all official affairs to Li Shimin. Two months later, Li Yuan ascended the throne to Li Shimin and lived in the Hall of Eternal Life. Living in Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and lives in the East Palace. On September 21, under the decree of Empress Yi, Su Lin was granted the title of first-rank noble concubine, living in Jingxi Hall, Wei Gui was first-rank Concubine Shu, living in Hancui Hall, and Yang Xi was the second-rank repairer. Yi, living in Linhua Hall, Yin family is the second grade Zhengrong, Jujiaofang Hall, Xiaoyan is the second grade Zhaoyi, Juqingxia Palace, Gao Teng and Jin Teng are the third grade Jieyu, Xia Yu is the fourth grade Beauties, the rest of the Teng in the Qianfu are mostly five-rank talent or six-rank Baolin.

At the same time, Li Kuan was granted the title of King of Chu, Li Luo was given the title of King of Han, Li Tai was given the title of King of Wei, Li You was given the title of King of Yan. A dozen or so princesses had ordinary titles, but Qianxi got the title of Xiangcheng, the princess of Xiangcheng.

After receiving the imperial decree, Qianxi looked at Aunt Gao carefully putting the four imperial decrees away, and curled her lips. It was common sense that Li Shimin didn't care about her eldest daughter. "Mother, I'm going to the imperial concubine's place."

"Uh." Gao Mi still wanted to make a delicious meal to celebrate with her own hands, but seeing Qian Xi's big eyes kept rolling, it was obvious that something was wrong. "Okay, you go, bring a few more court ladies and eunuchs."

"understood."

Li Shimin, who dealt with the matter a little at night, went to the Ganlu Hall, saw many scrolls of portraits in the main hall, he understood after a while, ignored the eunuchs and maids who were saluting, opened his mouth to let them go down, and went to the main seat to kneel On the table, he took Mrs. Changsun to sit down together, picked up the list on the table and looked at it, frowning slightly.

Changsun thought about the woman he wanted to hire into the palace, so he asked, "Does the emperor have any ideas?"

"Except for Yang Ruo, the only daughter-in-law of the head of the Yang family's collateral lineage, the others don't need to enter the palace for the time being." The Yang family's collateral lineage is huge, it is more cost-effective to win over than suppress, but other families have to watch first.

The eldest grandson was stunned. Li Shimin was only 28 years old this year, and he was young and strong. He was too busy in the Qin Palace, and his mind was used to fight for the previous dynasty. In the past year, except for her, Yang Xi and Su Lin, no one else was there. She didn't go much, she could understand and didn't feel anything, but now Shimin clearly wanted no other women except Yang Ruo. "Your Majesty, will the harem be too thin?"

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun, put down the list booklet, and narrowed his eyes. "That's it, there are too many people right and wrong."

"..." Mrs. Changsun looked at Li Shimin strangely. She naturally hoped that there would be as few people in the harem as possible, but when Li Shimin said these words, she always felt...something was wrong. "Yes, which position does the emperor plan to give Yang Ruo?"

"You look at it." First-rank four concubines, Su Lin is the noble concubine, Wei Gui is the Shu concubine, so Yang Ruo's family background is either a moral concubine or a virtuous concubine.

Mrs. Changsun nodded, thoughtful, only to hear Li Shimin say again: "The Chen family of the crown prince's family, etc., I need you to comfort me when the time comes."

"This is what a concubine should do."

When Yang Xi heard the news of Yang Ruo's entry into the palace, her beautiful face sank and she didn't smile. She sat on the main seat in the hall of Linhua Hall and looked at the paper on the kneeling table. She knew that she and Li Shimin would stand on opposite sides sooner or later, and when she had Li Luo in her stomach, she knew that it was rare for her to die well in her life, and she could give Luo Er a chance to be in the top position. Ruo stood on the same platform as her on behalf of the collateral branch of the Yang family, and he still felt a little pain in his heart. After getting along for nearly ten years, Li Shimin still didn't feel any pity for her. "He Niang, after the eldest grandson cleaned up the Taiji Palace, how many warriors are left?"

"In addition to the ones you brought in from the palace, we have gathered four second-rate warriors in the harem recently, all of whom are eunuchs, three third-rate warriors, nurses, and a third-rate warrior who has just entered the palace."

"Have you completed the location map of the underground hall of Tai Chi Palace?"

"It's already done."

"Let them find out."

As the name suggests, the underground hall is a secret passage dug when the Taiji Palace was built in the previous dynasty. It crisscrosses and connects all the main halls of the Taiji Palace. When her father seized the throne, she did not get the blueprints. The person holding the blueprints was the personal guard of the former crown prince. , her mother accidentally got it from the fugitive guards, but did not give it to her father. After the chaos in the world, she did not give it to Li Yuanli's puppet emperor. In the palace collection.

When she used her eldest grandson to clean up the harem, she took some thought to find out these people, integrated her subordinates in the name of Yang's direct line, and got the blueprints.
