Chapter 303: History Must Be Changed
Listening to Yin Hongzhi's words, Li You was stunned for a moment. He was also thinking: "Yes, I stayed in Chang'an well, why did I run out?" ”
Li You found a lot of reasons for himself in his heart, such as wanting to help Hamid, and he didn't need to go to this matter himself. Or if you want to go to Gaochang to grab cotton, it doesn't seem so urgent.
In fact, Li You stayed in Chang'an and played the role of a science and technology library, which should be of greater help to Datang.
But why did he want to go out?
In Li You's heart, there is always a big stone pressed. After he came to the Tang Dynasty, the historical trend of the Tang Dynasty changed slightly. Li Chengqian is now making progress day by day, and if the current trend continues, it is very likely that he will be able to inherit the throne smoothly.
Then, Datang is a Datang that is different from history.
Such an ending should be a good ending for Li You, a foodie. He will be able to spend this life peacefully and comfortably.
But 636 was also the year with the most variables for the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period. It was in this year that Empress Changsun died, and Li Shimin's personality also changed.
The Old Tang Dynasty Book recorded that Li Chengqian's leg was a congenital disease, but Li You saw that Li Chengqian could run and jump, and it didn't look like he had any leg disease. So could it be another version, his leg was broken, he was disabled, and since then, his personality has been distorted.
Then history went back to the old bloody path.
If this is the case, Li You's fate is very worrying. He must be involved in the struggle for succession. In any case, he will surely become a victim of the struggle of the princes for the throne.
Because of Li You's appearance, Empress Changsun's body is much better than in history, if Empress Changsun is alive and there is her, history will definitely be different. But whether the eldest grandson queen in history really died of illness, Li You didn't know.
In Li You's subconscious, it seemed that he was afraid that he would stay in Chang'an and see all this happen with his own eyes.
He's also leaving a way back for himself. Li You is the prince, and it is impossible for him to control the army by himself. Therefore, whether it was the steppe, or the Tuyuhun, or even the Persians, he had to master an army that could be borrowed. That's probably what he thought subconsciously.
Li You carefully checked the historical sources, and the Empress Changsun died on July 28, 636.
It is now June 29, 636, less than a month after the death of Empress Changsun.
Li You suddenly found that he was very stupid, it didn't matter what cotton or what Western Regions, and it was not a way to dodge by himself.
He must change history - let Empress Changsun live and prevent Li Chengqian from having an accident!
He stood up and said, "Uncle, you're right, I'm not going anywhere this year, I'll stay in Chang'an." ”
He called Baihu and said, "You immediately send someone to inform Murong Ling, Ashina Qing and Hamid to postpone the day of sending troops to early April next year, and Zhang Guigui and Xue Rengui will stay there to train the troops." ”
He planned to leave after the Spring Festival next year after seeing that Empress Eldest Sun and Li Chengqian were okay after this year.
Yin Hongzhi still didn't understand what was going on with Li You, and his face was full of questions.
Li You said: "Uncle, I won't tell you, this year is an extremely important year, as long as you spend this year safely, everything will be different." ”
The next morning, Li You first went to the Liangyi Hall to see Li Shimin. He told Li Shimin that it would take some time for the Persians to recruit and train their troops. He also said that he wanted to help Li Chengqian for a while longer to do a good job in urban reconstruction. Therefore, he postponed the matter of wanting to send troops to Gaochang until early April next year.
Li Shimin didn't say anything and agreed to Li You's request.
East Palace.
Li You came to the East Palace and said to Li Chengqian: "Big brother, my brother is still a little worried, and I decided to stay in Chang'an, help you for a while, and I will leave Chang'an after the Spring Festival next year." ”
Li Chengqian was very happy and said, "Great, I'm relieved." That Ma Zhou has already come, I think he is a capable man, you can teach him when you have time. ”
Li You said: "Big brother, my brother wants to ask you for something. ”
Li Chengqian said: "If you have something, you say, what do you ask?" ”
Li You said: "Big brother, from today until the first day of next year (Spring Festival), don't ride a horse when you go out, let alone leave Chang'an, you must be protected by guards at all times." ”
Seeing Li You's serious face, Li Chengqian was a little curious. "What's wrong?" he asked. What's wrong? ”
Li You said: "I always feel that something will happen this year, I'm afraid it's not good for you, big brother." Be careful. ”
Li Chengqian said nonchalantly: "What can happen?" Don't worry too much about it. ”
Li You continued to remind Li Chengqian to pay attention to safety, and Li Chengqian finally agreed. However, Li You could see that Li Chengqian was perfunctory.
Li You was very helpless. He can't say that history says you're going to break your leg this year, right?
Li You was very worried, he couldn't be by Li Chengqian's side at any time. What to do?
Li You originally wanted Li Chengqian to take him to see Empress Changsun. But when he looked at Li Chengqian's appearance, he knew that Empress Changsun would not believe his words. It's also a white reminder to remind.
Li You left the East Palace sullenly, went to the military department first, and informed Hou Junji of his decision to postpone the dispatch of troops.
Hou Junji saw Li You's sullen appearance, and thought that he was still unhappy because of the postponement of sending troops, so he comforted him a few words.
Li You left the military department, returned directly to the Qi Palace, ate some snacks, and felt a little better.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li You still hasn't thought of a way to make Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun pay attention to it.
Seeing that the day of the death of Empress Changsun was getting closer and closer, Li You's mood was very anxious. He was more worried about Li Chengqian, and he didn't know if this guy would have an accident in the next few days.
What to do? What to do? Li You was at a loss.
On this day, it rained heavily, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Li You was working at the research institute when he suddenly heard someone talking outside the door. It seems to be Li Dezhi, the guard of the East Palace. He said anxiously, "Is His Royal Highness King Qi here?" Oh no, something happened! ”
Li You was startled, his eyes were dark, at this moment, he hated himself deeply, why couldn't he prevent Li Chengqian from having an accident.
He made up his mind, and without waiting for Xiao Wanyu to pass the word, he walked out. He asked in fear: "His Royal Highness the Prince, he, is he okay?" ”8)
