Chapter 653: A Narrow Road Encounter
There is a saying that "if you do your own evil, you can't live", and Li Su now almost means that. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you don't mention this stubble in front of Dongyang, presumably Li Su is still looking at the clouds in the sky with a happy face, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and the chicken soup for the soul is fragrant, and he will never be so worried as now.
Of course, Li Su's only gain is that it turns out that the gentle and virtuous Princess Wencheng in history still has a story that someone has to tell.
"Who's someone?" Li Su asked coldly.
"Huh?" Dongyang didn't react for a while.
"Who is the man who fell in love with one day? If you guess the lantern riddle so obscenely, you must look ugly......"
Dongyang took a sip and said, "Don't arrange her lover, her identity is not bad, she is a prince of a foreign country." ”
Li Su sighed and said, "The prince of the other country is still entangled in a fart, if Lang has a concubine, can't he just grab it?" If a single person can't grab it, he will fight in a group, and if he can't rob it, he will start a war with Tubo, and whoever wins will marry Princess Wencheng. ”
Dongyang sighed and said, "How can it be so easy, although he is a prince, his country is too weak and cannot be compared with Tubo...... Do you know the 'Kingdom of Truth'? ”
Li Su was at a loss: "Zhenla Country? In which direction? ”
Dongyang Yu's arm stretched out, and pointed to the south: "It is said that there are six Zhao countries in the far south of the Tang Dynasty, and the six Zhao countries continue to the south, which is the Zhenla country." ”
Li Su still blinked blankly: "The Six Edicts of the South? Seem...... Dimly...... Is it the area of Dali, Yunnan? And continue south...... Ha? Cambodia?! ”
This time, Dongyang was at a loss: "What Yunnan Dali?" Where is Cambodia? ”
"Don't worry about these details...... A prince of Zhenla country, why does he understand my Central Plains culture, and he can guess lantern riddles, and make a good look. The appearance of a talented man is very hateful, do you know? Fool me, no one in the Tang Dynasty? ”
Dongyang glanced at him, and said angrily: "I Datang widely accept foreign kings, envoys and traders, the surrounding neighbors are all proud of knowing the Tang Dynasty script and reading the books of Confucius and Mencius, the prince of Zhenla was sent to the Tang Dynasty by the old king when he was less than ten years old, and invited Confucian students to teach him to read and write, familiar with Confucius and Mencius, and has been studying for more than ten years. ”
Li Su nodded, and some fragmentary clues gradually pieced together in his mind.
To put it simply, the unknown Cambodian prince learned the Central Plains culture half-hanging, and the ghost made the god get to know Princess Wencheng on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, and the two had a good impression of each other, and promised each other for life, maybe it is not impossible to scratch and touch each other in a place where no one is, but what small country is too weak, and Songtsan Gampo of Tubo is a heroic figure that even Li Shimin has to be afraid of, and now two adult men want to marry Princess Wencheng, but Princess Wencheng only allows the Cambodian prince to be alone......
It is said that "a weak country has no diplomacy", this sentence sounds very empty, but it should really come to reality, but it is full of extreme cruelty and sadness, and it is also a prince, but he can't even snatch his wife back, so he can only watch Li Shimin order his sweetheart to be sent to a strong country and relatives.
This is the true meaning of "weak countries have no diplomacy", whether it is to swallow the anger, to say that it is to endure humiliation and burden, to put it mildly, it is to shrink the head and dare not come forward, the national strength and military strength determine the courage, but also decide whether there is the courage to rob the wife, from Dongyang's words Li Su guessed, although His Royal Highness the prince loves Princess Wencheng, but he does not dare to fight, because he is not only Princess Wencheng's lover, but also a prince, once he fights, what awaits him may be the war between the two countries, and it is a battle that must be lost without suspense.
The prince is a sensible prince, and he does not dare to fulfill his love at the cost of the lives of his subjects throughout the country, that is too selfish.
Looking at Dongyang, who was worried about Princess Wencheng, Li Su smiled bitterly: "These things, we can only listen to them as idle things, your father's will has been made, and Lu Dongzan, the great minister of Tubo, has arrived in the Tang Dynasty, and after a few days of preparation, Lu Dongzan will take Princess Wencheng back to Tubo and marry Songtsan Gampo, Dongyang, no one can change this result, and whoever dares to stop it will be a catastrophe and endless trouble." ”
Dongyang naturally understood the seriousness of what Li Su said, so he nodded gloomily and said resentfully: "I just hope that after she leaves Chang'an, she will slowly forget about the prince of Zhenla, the word 'love', no matter how big it is, it can't be 'country'." ”
Li Su sighed: "Not everyone has the courage to fight like you and me, we can get out, because we are just alone, nothing is important except death, they can't go out, because they still bear the responsibility of a whole country." Compared with the stability and tranquility of a country, the weight of the word 'love' is too light......"
Dongyang sighed faintly and stopped talking.
************************************************************************
Li Su really can't afford to provoke this matter, and it is someone else's affair, he has never even seen the two parties involved, and he has no obligation to help them solve the trouble.
Of course, even if Li Su makes a move, he can't change anything, the will of the relatives has been made, and even the envoys who welcome the relatives have arrived in Chang'an, how can Li Su help? Tell Li Shimin that princess Wencheng of your Li family don't marry, give me a face, and let her marry someone else.
It is certain that if Li Shimin heard this bastard remark, he would definitely take off his shoes and slap his face wildly with the soles of his shoes until his face swelled into a pig's head. Therefore, Li Su will never do anything about touching the moldy head.
Early in the morning, Li Su went out again, an idle marquis has been busier than the prime minister of the three provinces recently, Li Su sitting in the carriage can't help but want to review his principles of life, people who were too lazy to be outrageous suddenly became so diligent, jumping up and down every day, what is the picture?
was extremely resistant in his heart, but Li Su had to rush around after all.
The time has come, the fire is enough, the prince should step down, there is such an enemy who is always staring at him in the shadows, Li Su is not even comfortable sleeping, so no matter how lazy a person is, he must kill the enemy in order to continue to be lazy with peace of mind.
When I arrived at Jinguangmen, the sun had just faded into the golden glow, but Chang'an City was already crowded with people and traffic.
A capital of one million people, the city gate is busy every day from the moment it is opened.
Li Su followed the caravan into the city, and the carriages and tribes entered the city in a hurry.
Today, I'm going to visit a few talented elders, and listen to the analysis of the current situation in the court by those old and treacherous guys.
Dozens of subordinates gathered around the carriage to reach Renshoufang, and suddenly heard a few cries from the end of the street.
Then Li Su saw a group of men and horses coming towards him from afar, there were not many people, hundreds of people wore armor to open the road in front, and behind a wide carriage with six horses and wheels, the carriage was decorated with gold paint, and a dozen eunuchs hurriedly followed and trotted behind.
Li Su's eyelids jumped, although he didn't make a flag, he recognized that this was the prince's car, and among the honor guards of the whole country, only the prince was the only one.
Then Li Su was worried.
The road is not wide, Renshoufang belongs to the residential area, there is a slip of shops along the street, the business of Chang'an, the national capital is developed, the merchants from all over the world gather together, the original very spacious street is expanded to the middle of the street intentionally or unintentionally by the shops on the side of the road, some put a line of flowers, and some circle a small courtyard, which leads to the road of Renshoufang is getting narrower and narrower, and most of the officials and marquis in the square also turn a blind eye, after all, they are all neighbors, look up and don't look down, many things are convenient, everyone gets along happily, their bottom line is very low, In the middle of the street it is enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.
Li Su couldn't help but feel bitter, and met the prince's car head-on, but the road was only so wide, one of the two had to exit first to avoid.
Almost instantly, Li Su made a decision.
"The carriage retreats to avoid the honor guard of His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Driven by the coachman, the two horses pulling the cart slowly retreated step by step, and Li Su also got out of the carriage, led all the troops to stand on the side of the road, and bowed to the prince's car like all pedestrians.
…………
Li Chengqian was lying in the carriage, his brows furrowed, and the sharp pain in his left leg from time to time made him let out a gentle inhale from time to time.
One leg was broken by his father, and after diagnosis and treatment, the doctor of the Imperial Physician's Department came to the conclusion that this leg is not easy to recover, and it will be disabled for life in the future.
The crown prince of a country actually became disabled, and he was interrupted by his father's life, Li Chengqian only felt extremely humiliated, yes, only humiliation, and no remorse.
In other words, he only hates, and has no regrets.
Li Chengqian is twenty-four years old, and he is no longer the age of youthful rebellion, but in recent years, his personality has been more extreme than that of an adolescent teenager, because he has a failed father.
There are many children in the family, as an elder brother, it is natural to set an example for the younger brothers and sisters, whether it is in the life of the cold and warmth, or the help after causing trouble, Zhenguan nine years ago, Li Chengqian did a good job, at that time the eldest grandson queen was still alive, the mother and son were filial piety, brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters were young, and there was no power and ambition in their hearts.
However, in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun died, and everything seemed to have changed.
Li Shimin is busy with affairs, no time to control his children, his younger brothers are growing up, and when the Ministry of Internal Service sends the princes' food, clothing, food and rice every month, he will always can't help but ask more, how much has been sent by the East Palace, and the answers he gets often make the princes jealous...... The difference in many differential treatments finally made the princes feel jealous, and then the germ of replacing them appeared.
At this time, Li Shimin was particularly fond of Wei Wangtai, who could read and had a clever mouth, no matter what reward was sealed, it was given because of his mood, from thousands of dollars, to honor guards, carriages and horses, as well as various intimate performances between father and son, which led to rumors in the government and the opposition, and speculation about Yi Chu's theory. Li Chengqian was worried at first, then anxious, then angry but helpless, and finally simply numb and willing to fall......
All the love and hate in the world is not without reason.
So Li Chengqian's heart was gradually occupied by hatred. He hated his father, hated his brothers, hated courtiers, and hated everything that prevented him from becoming the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
It has been several days since the drunken turmoil, Li Chengqian's broken leg is still not good, the doctor gave him medicine, but the daily leg pain still makes him miserable, and finally can't help it, so he ordered the guard of honor to go out of the palace, planning to visit Sun Simiao in person, begging the old fairy to re-prescribe a prescription for him to heal and relieve pain, when the carriage and horse traveled to Renshoufang, he suddenly felt that the carriage stopped, Li Chengqian was tortured by the broken leg to a burst of heart-piercing pain, and his temper was much more irritable than usual.
"Why stop?" Li Chengqian asked angrily.
Outside the carriage, a eunuch said cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, the road is too narrow, and there is a carriage ahead......"
Li Chengqian said angrily: "Are you blind on the other side? Don't know the prince's guard of honor? Tell him to get out of the way! ”
The eunuch replied: "Yes, the other party is evading, Your Highness should stay for a while." ”
Li Chengqian snorted heavily: "I don't know which thing is not long-eyed!" ”
The eunuch was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "The slave and maid recognized it, it was the car driving ...... the Marquis of Jingyang County."
Li Chengqian was stunned: "Marquis of Jingyang County? Li Su? ”
"Exactly."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath, and the old and new hatreds of the past flashed in his mind at this moment.
For Li Su, Li Chengqian has always been more contemptuous, Li Su's background is just a peasant outside Chang'an City, as the third generation of the emperor, he is used to paying attention to bloodline, in addition to his father, there are only those thousand-year-old family valves, and Li Su, a guy from Tian Shelang, offended him again and again, at first once or twice Li Chengqian did not take it to heart, and never reflected on the right and wrong of black and white, and then later, Li Shimin's pampering became more and more inclined to Wei Wangtai, and he Li Chengqian seemed to be cursed by the god of fate, Bad luck again and again, my reputation and reputation are also getting lower and lower in this bad luck, in a series of bad luck in the past few years, Li Su's shadow is always looming in it, and Li Chengqian's hatred for him is getting deeper and deeper.
Hearing that the carriage opposite was Li Su's, Li Chengqian's face turned cold, and his heart suddenly became angry.
It's all you! It's you who got me to where I am now!
"How precious is the time of loneliness, how can it be wasted by a person who was born as a villager! Come on, assemble the honor guard, and open the way for Lone to rush over! ”
Li Chengqian lay in the carriage and coldly ordered.
Outside the car, the guard in charge of the guard was the general of the East Palace Prince's Zuo, and the general couldn't help but be a little stunned after receiving the order, and looked up, the carriage and horse of Li Xianhou on the opposite side had quickly retreated to the outside of the fangmen, and he only had to wait for a while to pass, but at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly ordered to rush over...... I've seen a torn face, but I've never seen a torn face like this.
When the general was still stunned, Li Chengqian in the carriage urged coldly: "What are you waiting for?" ”
The general hurriedly clenched his fists in response, rode his horse to the front of the guard of honor, raised his hands, and slashed at the void of Li Su's carriage and horse opposite, and shouted: "Prince Order, rush over, open the way!" ”
Rumble!
Hundreds of princes led the guards to order their departures, and rushed towards Li Su's carriage on horseback.
