Chapter Seventy-Five: A New World
Standing in the wilderness outside the city and looking back at Chang'an, Xiao Han did not "write a poem" after all, to sing an ode to this seemingly calm, but in fact undercurrent of the huge city.
Since bidding farewell to Ren Qing that day, the battle between the crown prince and the king of Qin has finally been officially put on the table because of the establishment of the Tiance Mansion.
Through the gossip from all directions, Li Shimin took advantage of the power of the great victory and served as Situ, holding both military and political powers, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Li Shimin himself is a general, and the position of Situ he got this time is one of the three dukes, which also gives Li Shimin a very important position to speak in the court.
Xiao Han was the same as before during this time, he hid at home when he had nothing to do, and the invitations sent by his colleagues were all rejected on the grounds that Hou Ye was developing a new armament.
In fact, what research on armaments, it is all fooling, everyone in the mansion knows that the Hou Ye is lying in the mansion, but whenever people come, the porter will always forget this and try his best to explain to the people who come.
As soon as people heard it, they knew that Xiao Han had worked hard to work overtime, and worked hard for the rise of Datang......
In this case, how can you be embarrassed to invite others to the banquet again? So after repeatedly confessing the crime, let Marquis Xiao take care of his health, and the housekeepers of each family went home one after another to tell him, it's not that people don't give face, it's really busy, busy......
The porter politely greeted and sent away waves of people, and the kung fu of the performance has been perfected, and there is no psychological burden at all to deceive people, because in his heart, he wishes that Hou Ye would stay at home in peace for the rest of his life.
At home, it's better than outside, and the soldiers are chaotic outside, who knows what danger there is, haven't you heard that a few days ago, a general in that army was killed by a cold arrow in secret? If Master Hou stays at home for the rest of his life, he can spend his whole life here in peace......
This may be the greatest wish of the porter who is over half a hundred years old...... Unfortunately, within a few days of the peaceful days, the poor porter watched bitterly at the compound that had changed from noise to silence in an instant, and the courtyard that used to come and go was now only one or two veterans collecting fallen leaves.
With a deep sigh, the porter prayed with the most pious heart that the little marquis must be safe......
Out of Chang'an, but no one came to see them off, Li Shimin Xue received them and they had already gone to Longyou, and Xiao Han was even more afraid of trouble, so he chose a time just after dawn and left this ancient city.
One last glance at Chang'an City, Chang'an was so beautiful in the morning light, Xiao Han subconsciously glanced at the weeping willows on the edge of the Baqiao, but unfortunately, the once beautiful and thrilling beauty in red was not there......
Xiao Han sighed lightly, turned around and ordered the convoy to leave.
This time there was no horseback riding, Xiao Han rode in a wide carriage, and the wheels of the carriage were rolling on the loess road, squeaking and annoying.
Due to the long convoy, the carriage moved very slowly, and the unchanging grass around it made people a little drowsy......
Xiao Han was thinking in his last life, since Li Yuan didn't want to pass on the throne to Li Shimin, why did he give Li Shimin such a big right, not only in the army, but also in the political power.
Situ is only Li Shimin's temporary position, and the later Shangshu Ling, and even the Zhongshu Ling, are the most fatal, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the prime minister of a country! Not to mention the title of Admiral Tiance!
This point can be seen from the fact that after Li Shimin forced the palace to become the emperor, the first thing to revoke these positions can be.
Li Yuan is not a faint monarch, in fact, a large part of the good situation in the early Tang Dynasty was created by Li Yuan himself, Xiao Han felt very deeply about this here, and yes, the founding emperor did not have mediocrity.
Maybe the historians of later generations intentionally or unintentionally suppressed Li Yuan's ability, or Li Shimin's light was so good that Li Yuan's achievements were a little dim in front of this dazzling son.
However, no one can deny the great usefulness of Li Yuan to the Tang Dynasty.
Why would such a person make such a mistake?
Xiao Han couldn't understand it, and he couldn't think about it clearly, until that day, a piece of gossip reached his ears, and Xiao Han suddenly realized.
Prince Li Jiancheng has the appearance of Yang Guang!
Understood, everything understood, Xiao Han didn't know if this sentence was planned by Xue Shu, but seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Han already had the answer in his heart.
In a word, what a funny idea to change a world, but he happened in front of Xiao Han.
It is undeniable that the lethality of this sentence is too great, what kind of character is Yang Guang?
Although the whole world regards him as a faint king, a tyrant through the ages!
But the conquest of Goryeo, the Ping family, the water conservancy, and the opening of the imperial examination, these events that have a huge impact on later generations are really what a so-called faint monarch can do?
Xiao Han hated him, but he also had to admire him, Yang Guang when he was young was definitely a representative of intelligence, drawing inferences from one case is not enough to talk about his intelligence, he is gentle and elegant, a corporal with courtesy, and respects each other with officials.
I don't know why, these things, Li Jiancheng is seven points similar to him, Xue Shui just grasped this point tightly, and infinitely magnified it, which gave Li Shimin the opportunity to rise.
You must know that later, the power of Yang Guang, who was also the crown prince, increased day by day, and finally, another characteristic appeared in him, that is, decisiveness.
After being made the crown prince, Yang Jian's will was slightly shaken, and Yang Guang killed all those who opposed him overnight! Including his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian!!
Prince Li Jiancheng has the appearance of Yang Guang!
Li Jiancheng is Yang Guang, so who is Yang Jian?
Li Yuan didn't dare to think about it! But I have to think about it!
Power is the devil who lures people into the abyss, even Li Yuan, who has a very good heart, still loses his mind under the control of power.
However, after all, it is his own beloved son, and the tomb robber can throw the father into the ancient tomb, but the father will never put his son to death.
Soon, Li Yuan, who was in a trance because of the rumors, had a countermeasure: promote Li Shimin, let Li Shimin suppress Li Jiancheng, and control the balance by himself.
The incident was already very clear at this point, Xiao Han didn't know whether it was easy or heavy, but he always felt that there was a huge cloud hanging over Chang'an.
So when he learned of this news, he sold almost all of his family's treasures as quickly as possible, leaving only a few pieces of his favorite gold to press the bottom of the box......
After the treasure was sold, Xiao Han personally took his own soldiers to the east and west cities, swept the general, exchanged the treasure for dozens of cars of various tools and materials, and then left only a few old auxiliary soldiers in the Chang'an mansion to watch the house.
The mighty convoy left Chang'an and set off for Sanyuan County.
Xiao Han's line is very long, very long, there are dozens of carriages alone, and the entourage is close to a hundred, Xiao Han walked out of the carriage, stood at the head of the road, and occasionally looked back into the distance, not without pride in his heart.
It's all I earned in a few months, and who else in the world can do this?
After leaving Chang'an, I thought all about it clearly, and made sure that there was no trace of error, and my mood was finally like putting down a boulder, as if I wanted to fly.
In front of Xiaodong and stunned to play treasure like riding back and forth, saw a hare to catch up for a long time, can't catch up, so he pulled out the arrow behind him and shot randomly, to the end the quiver was empty, the rabbit hair did not have a single one, causing a group of old people to laugh.
"Arrows, that's not how they were shot!"
An old man with the best riding skills in the auxiliary soldiers rode over, smiled and took Xiaodong's bow, kicked it with his foot, and a goose feather arrow stuck diagonally in the grass bounced into his hand.
As soon as his arms were pulled, the hard bow more than half a man high was like a full moon, and he didn't see how he could aim, and his right hand holding the arrow suddenly loosened, and he heard the humming sound constantly coming from the bowstring.
Looking ahead, a yellow fox that didn't know when it came out kicked a few times on the ground, and soon stopped moving.
The veteran's arrow has passed directly through its eyes, dozens of steps away, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a marksman with such an accurate head!
"When did Lao Qiu have this ability, why don't I know?" Xiao Han looked at the archery veteran in amazement, and was surprised in his heart.
The fat chef came over with a smile: "Master Hou, isn't it strange?" In fact, Lao Qiu's family used to be a well-known big family, so he learned martial arts since he was a child, but later he was involved in some things, which caused Lao Qiu's family to be ruined, so he ran out of him, so he joined the army.
"Oh......" Xiao Han nodded, he didn't ask anything, it wasn't that he was afraid of getting angry, but there were some things, the parties didn't say it, and it would be bad if you asked.
Seeing Lao Qiu handing the bow to Xiaodong, Xiao Han suddenly felt that he also had some itchy hands, and the dream of bending the bow and shooting the eagle eagle is estimated to be in every boy, rubbing his hands, Xiao Han shouted at Xiaodong: "Hey, Xiaodong, give me the bow, watch Master Hou show my might!" ”
"Master Hou, this is a three-stone hard bow......"
Xiaodong rode over, looked at Xiao Han's body, and almost wrote the words "I don't believe it" on his face!
In fact, he couldn't pull this bow as round as Lao Qiu, so he originally wanted to use a two-stone bow.
But I didn't expect that this thing could open a four-stone bow, although it was sore to the death of a few arms that could not be pulled, but it was easy to pull three stones, for the sake of his own face, Xiaodong gritted his teeth and chose a three-stone bow for himself, but unfortunately the bow was not satisfied, and the arrows were shot lightly, where could I shoot the prey?
Xiao Han's eyes were a little unkind when he looked at Xiaodong, although this thing didn't say that Master Hou couldn't pull it away, but this is what he meant, including his eyes...... This is angry: "You dare to underestimate me!" When I was a child, I didn't break slivers to make bows and arrows! ”
One dragged the bow and arrow from Xiaodong's hand, but he didn't take the arrow, so he pulled it empty, and he didn't pull it......
Everyone around was quietly looking at Xiao Han, and Xiao Han's old face suddenly couldn't hang up......
"What kind of broken bow is this, how can the wood be made of the same as the iron plate, so hard, how did it be pulled apart just now?"
Xiao Han, who felt that he had lost face, began to scold Xiaodong again in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it on his face, and the thoughts in his heart turned sharply, and he had a way in the blink of an eye......
The right hand that had been pulling the string slowly slid from the bowstring to the bow body and tapped it gently.
"Well, this bow is good, but the bow made of wood should not be easy to use as soon as it gets wet, we will study and study it in the future, and use steel to make the bow body! In this way, on rainy days and in the south, bows and arrows can play the greatest role, Lao Zhao? Lao Zhao! Where is the death, come and write it down! ”
"Oh~~"
The people around him suddenly realized: Hou Ye is evaluating the shortcomings of the bow, not to draw the bow and shoot arrows......
Xiao Lang, who had an organic spirit, just glanced at Xiao Han with suspicious eyes, and immediately received a slap on the head, and his suspicious gaze instantly turned into worship......
