Chapter 758: Princess Qi
"Don't drink it, my lord. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Why don't you drink?"
There are two side halls separated by the palace wall on the east and west sides of the Changle Palace in Yuliangzhou, where the two sons of the Emperor Taishang live, and they are also the brothers of the saints today, the losers of the Xuanwu Gate Change. It was built and lived in the west hall, and Yuanji lived in the east hall.
In the past two years of Xuanwumen, Li Yuanji's life in the past two years has been very poor. is similar to Yang Guang killing his brother in the Sui Dynasty, and it is similar today. On the day of Xuanwumen, he did not kill these two brothers of the same mother, and Xuanwumen did not kill them after that.
Even openly treat each other with courtesy, one is the king of Hainan and the other is the king of Hailing, at least there is a prince with him. But in reality, they were just prisoners of Li Shimin.
At each court meeting, the emperor summoned them to the palace to make an ornament. And then usually, even the palace gate can't take a step. Even their sons and daughters were all prisoners, and they could not leave the palace at all.
Now that the emperor has arrived in Xiangyang, they have only been transferred from the Taiji Palace Prison in Chang'an to the Ziwei Palace Prison in Xiangyang.
Li Yuanji was also angry and unwilling, but Li Shimin was extremely strict with these two brothers, guarding the outside of the palace at all levels, and even the palace attendants inside were all changed, and everyone who entered and exited had to be strictly checked, and a piece of paper was not allowed to leave the palace.
In this case, no matter how unwilling Li Yuanji is, he is helpless.
What made Li Yuanji most angry was that Li Shimin often went to Changle Palace to see the emperor, and every time he had to summon their brothers and sisters to accompany him.
But when they got there, they couldn't say a word except for drinking as a companion, and the emperor didn't listen to them, and he didn't let them speak, so they could only drink depressedly.
The most disgusting thing is the palace people Li Shimin gave him, all of whom are old and ugly, guarding a few concubines, and their lives are dull and depressed. It was under these circumstances that Li Yuanji began to drink heavily, and the more he drank, the more he became more and more drunk, and he was drunk and smoked for most of the day.
Today, Li Yuanji was called to Changle Palace to be an escort to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin reported a good news to the Emperor Taishang, Li Jing of Hedong did not climb the mountain and set up an ambush in Yunzhou in the north of Daibei, and annihilated the 5,000 Khitan cavalry of the Turkic south, and Li Jing was almost unharmed.
Such a victory made Li Shimin very excited, and he brought a group of concubines and princes such as the eldest grandson and the crown prince to the palace to report the good news to the emperor.
Emperor Taishang was a little surprised, but also very happy, anyway, although Emperor Taishang abdicated, but the throne is still succeeded by his son, although this throne was usurped by Erlang, but after all, the country is still the Li family.
Li Yuanji is not happy, whether the world is prosperous or dead, does it have anything to do with him? He is just a prisoner of his brother Li Shimin, and he is a tool in order to block the mouths of the people in the world.
Keeping him is not kindness, not brotherhood, but just not wanting his own hands to be stained with brotherly blood.
Listening to Li Shimin proudly follow them and boast about how beautiful Li Jing's victory was, he also said that Li Chao had a powerful new weapon in his hand, and this time he could teach the Turks a hard lesson.
Listening to Li Yuanji's stomachache, nausea, and want to vomit.
was forced to sit in Changle Palace for most of the day, and finally Li Shimin had something to do, and left in a hurry, but as soon as Li Shimin left, he didn't let them stay with the emperor, and directly sent the guards to send them back with concern.
Depressed, depressed.
I can't talk to my brother or my father.
Li Yuanji used to like hunting very much, and he also danced well with horse lances.
But he hadn't ridden a horse for two years, and he hadn't held a horse lance for two years, and the thousands of miles of horses he had raised before, and the horse lances made by the masters, were all taken away by Li Shimin.
Not to mention hunting, I didn't even have a chance to ride a horse in that small palace courtyard of my own.
Except for his wife and concubine who occasionally played chess with him, he became a waste.
Because he was a prisoner, his wives and concubines even snubbed him.
How to solve the worries, only Du Kang.
"King, you are drunk and drowsy all day long, and everyone is wasted if you continue like this." Princess Yang said while persuading.
There are three concubines surnamed Yang in Li Yuanji's palace, Princess Yang, the grandniece of Yang Xiong, the king of the Sui Dynasty, and the current prime minister Yang Gongren is Concubine Yang's uncle. There are also two Yang families, one is the concubine Yang, who is also from the Hongnong Yang family, and is regarded as the marriage sister of the Yang family to the Yang family.
There is another Yang family, whose name is Yang Qimei, a singing and dancing girl in the Dongshi wine shop, because of her charming and beautiful appearance, good singing and dancing, she was discovered by Li Yuanji by chance, so he was admitted to the palace.
Of the three Yang families, Li Yuanji's favorite is Yang Qimei, this fairy-like woman who likes him the most. And his wife Yang, although she is also beautiful, is always a little too serious, and he doesn't like it. Except for the time when they first got married, the relationship was fine, and in the past few years, they have been quite cold.
"Hmph, in Changle Palace today, in the corridor, what are you talking to Li Shimin?" Li Yuanji asked.
"The king, I didn't talk to each other, I just happened to meet, so I saluted and said hello."
"Are you, blind or stupid? Li Shimin's eyes are dripping and rolling on you, and the smile when I talk to you, when I don't see it? If I hadn't just come out, you slut might have done something shameless.
”
"A pair of dog men and women, adulterers******* Li Yuanji pointed at Concubine Yang's nose and scolded, and the wine was spraying.
Concubine Yang frowned in disgust, reached out to cover her mouth and nose, and stepped back.
"Slut, what do you mean by this, disgusted with loneliness?"
"The king was drunk, and the concubine called someone to help the king to rest."
The more Yang was like this, the more angry Li Yuanji became, and he felt that his life was completely ruined by Li Shimin. Now, Li Shimin is also hooking up with his wife.
"You slut!"
Li Yuanji shouted angrily, and directly threw the wine glass in his hand towards Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang reached out to block it, the cup hit on her arm, and then fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
There was a sharp pain in her arm, but Concubine Yang had a smile on her face.
It's just that this laugh is a sneer, a mocking laugh.
"In addition to beating women, palace people, and maids, what else will you do now? Oh, by the way, you still drink, every day in addition to drinking or drinking, why didn't Your Majesty ban your alcohol, let you drink like this every day, drink to death, sooner or later, one day, you will get drunk to death. ”
"Slut, can't wait for me to die? If you want to murder your husband, and then throw yourself into Li Shimin's arms, don't you? Shameless slut, today, I'm going to beat you to death! ”
Li Yuanji stood up and chased after Concubine Yang, who walked around the pillar.
Once on the battlefield, Li Yuanji was also a fierce general with unstoppable courage, but after two years of self-abandonment, after two years of alcoholism, his body was almost hollowed out at this time, and he had just drunk almost again, chasing Concubine Yang for a long time, but he couldn't catch up.
"Slut, don't run, I'm going to kill you today."
Tears rolled down Concubine Yang's face, and she hurriedly escaped from the hall and ran into the distance.
Li Yuanji chased to the entrance of the hall, wearing his hair and bare feet, panting, looking at the distant back, his face distorted and scolding.
Ziwei Palace.
Li Shimin was in a good mood, and it was rare to have a meal with the eldest grandson queen and the crown prince, and there were Li Tai, Li Kuan, Li Ke brothers, etc. at one table.
As soon as he was happy, Li Shimin ate two more bowls of rice.
Patting his belly, Li Shimin said with a smile, "The queen's cooking skills are really getting better and better, I accidentally ate it, and now I don't want to move." ”
"You can't eat too much if it's delicious, and you can't skip meals when you're busy, so it's easy to hurt your stomach. Your Majesty, you used to fight abroad all the year round, and you already had stomach problems, and you need to be recuperated the most. Empress Changsun persuaded that this knowledge was also on Li Chao's recipe, and Li Chao's cookbook not only had the cooking method of food, but also the distribution, growth, and eating methods of various wild vegetable plants, as well as medicinal value, etc.
Li Chao's recipe is not only a recipe, but also a botanical book, a medicinal dietetics, and a health book. Many of them are about health care, and even the imperial doctors in the palace are amazed by it.
Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin had a stomach problem, and sometimes when the stomach disease attacked, the people who were in pain shrank up, and even the imperial doctor did not have the rule of law. Li Chao's recipe said that stomach problems have to be conditioned.
"It's rare, it's rare, the queen's dish is delicious today, and it's also good news from the north, and I'm in a good mood."
The eldest grandson said with some concern, "Although General Li Jing won the first victory, it is inspiring, but didn't the concubine hear that Your Majesty said that Li Xiang meant to build a strong wall outside the Great Wall, and the Turks to be led to follow the south step by step, and finally we want to fight a decisive battle with the Turks on the Great Wall?" Now that the war is going on in Daibei, will this be a problem? ”
Bai Mountain, Empress Changsun still knows where it is, it is the north of Yunzhou in Daibei, not far from the Great Wall.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang fought with the Huns, and as a result, he was surrounded on Nabai Mountain and almost captured by the Huns. That place is too far away from the Central Plains, and it is also far away from the Yanmen line of the Great Wall.
He was worried that Li Jing's battle would disrupt Li Chao's layout, and he was also worried that his elder brother Sun Wuji, who was still in Shuofang.
"Don't worry, Wuji has already withdrawn from the Yellow River, and now he is stationed in Lingwu."
Cheng Qian asked Li Shimin, "Father, the teacher is the commander of the Northern Expedition, and General Li Jing of Hedong is the teacher's subordinate and deputy, commanding the soldiers and horses all the way to Hedong." When the teacher left for the north, didn't he already let General Li Jing withdraw to Daizhou? Now General Li Jing is fighting in Daibei, although he has won, but this should be against the teacher's military order, right? Father, the emperor, and his sons thought that although General Li Jing had won, His Majesty not only could not reward him, but would have to issue an edict to reprimand, otherwise, General Li Jing was afraid that he would not listen to the teacher's orders even more. If the teacher can't even give a unified order, how can he command this northern war situation? The orders are different and the command is unclear, which is a taboo for soldiers? Erchen thought that he would not only reprimand General Li Jing, but also remove him from his post, recall him back to Beijing, and replace him with an obedient general. ”
Li Shimin smiled, "Having said that, but Li Chao and Li Jing are both famous generals, the front line is changing rapidly, and the generals not only have to obey the strategic layout of the imperial court, but also have to take into account the situation on the front line. How to dominate the war situation in the north and how to treat Li Jing is Li Chao's problem, so we should not interfere too much. ”
Before Li Chao's expedition, the only request he asked Li Shimin was to give him commanding power, to trust him, and not to interfere easily.
Li Shimin did what he said, although Li Jing was suspected of disobeying Li Chao's military order, Li Shimin would not deal with Li Jing, and left this to Li Chao himself.
"Prince, remember, it is necessary to delegate power at the right time and appropriately, and if you grasp it too tightly and manage it too widely, sometimes it is not a good thing."
