Body 165 Overture
The weather is gradually getting cooler, and the trees of the entire Chang'an City have become bare when they drift in the streets and alleys with the wind with the yellow leaves, and there is no beautiful scenery in the past.
With the footsteps of merchants from all over the world, the withered yellow leaves continue to create a prosperous era for Chang'an City, whether it is already a little cold weather, or the trees that have become bald, it can not reduce the enthusiasm of the merchants to run for profit.
Taiyi City also seemed to be a lot busier than in previous years, and truckloads of goods slowly drove out of the gate of Chang'an City, leaving a shallow rut mark on the cement-paved official road.
The days began to get shorter and shorter, and at this time of summer, the sun was still smiling, and the mischievous did not want to fall down the hill to go home.
And now, the stars are already in the dim sky, impatiently poking out their smart eyes, driving away the sun that has fallen into the horizon, occupying the sky above Chang'an City.
The civil and military generals are all wearing brand-new civilian clothes today, carrying slaves, holding congratulatory gifts in their hands, and slowly walking towards the direction of Daming Palace.
Jin Wuwu at the gate of the imperial city seems to be a little more than usual today, and the inspection has become more strict.
Even if it is a congratulatory gift to be brought into the palace, it needs to be carefully checked one by one and registered.
Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, Shangguanyi, Yang Sijian, Zong Chuke, Jinghui, several officials of the East Palace, or officials of Jingzhao Mansion and Hubu, needless to say, all know that these people have a very close relationship with the crown prince.
Zhang Cambodia also had a smile written on his face, he had always been good with Di Renjie, so he naturally went to Daming Palace with him today.
After the fish talisman and token were inspected, under the leadership of the ceremonial officer, under the eagle-like gaze of the palace Jin Wuwei, he slowly walked into the Lin De Palace.
This place used by the Tang Dynasty to entertain ministers, envoys from various countries, and enjoy singing and dancing, etc., is full of lights and joys today, but at the same time, it also seems to have a solemn atmosphere.
A hall that can accommodate a hundred people is full of tables, chairs and benches, and on each table there are the name tags of various officials, according to the rank from front to back, so as not to drink too much as before, and occasionally there will be officials of the lower grade rushing to the front.
At this moment, the female musician is in a corner of the hall, drizzling silently, infiltrating the entire splendid, luxurious and noble hall with elegant music.
Two days later, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will answer the proverb and go to the four towns of Anxi to kill the enemy and make meritorious achievements, but until now, whether it is in the court or in private, there is no knowledge of how His Majesty appointed His Royal Highness the Prince.
The Grand Commander of the Anxi Road March? The Tang army that commands the entire Western Regions? Or the deputy chief executive? Obey the dispatch of Pei Xingjian, the capital of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?
Or is it like Xue Rengui and Hei Tooth Changzhi, leading all the way to the soldiers and horses, serving as the sixth general of the crown prince, and continuing to obey Pei Xingjian's command?
Today is a happy and festive day, Wu Mei is full of black lines in her head, and she is trying to suppress her Nine Yin White Bone Claw's stunt.
Li Zhi seemed to be out of sight, hugging the shoulders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was about to follow him, and didn't care at all about the ponytail that was scattered behind his head and erected.
"Today, my father and his ministers will go out to congratulate you on the expedition and feast, but you are not allowed to play any tricks for me." Li Zhi and Li Hong walked forward and muttered quietly.
Behind Wu Mei's head is full of black lines, and behind him are the prince Li Zhong, Li Shangjin, Li Sujie, Li Xian, Li Zhe, and even the youngest Li Dan is also impressively listed.
There are only three princesses in the royal family now, Princess Yiyang, Princess Gao'an, and Princess Taiping who has just been able to walk and babble.
Today, the entire palace is busy with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Hong, who will not set out to conquer the Western Regions, and several of their princes and princesses naturally want to see off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at today's banquet.
"Then you just don't let Erchen go, Erchen doesn't want to go. As the saying goes: parents are here, not far away. The retainers are reluctant to leave you and your mother. Li Hong held his mouth, as if he was really reluctant.
"Alas...... I can't help it, you also saw the proverb a few days ago, if you don't go out, I'm afraid that there will be no harmony between your brothers in the future, and my father doesn't want you to ascend the throne, like me, without a brother by your side. Li Zhi patted Li Hong's shoulder and comforted helplessly.
"No, father, even if the sons and daughters don't go out, the few of us will get along very well, don't you see it? It's okay and we play together a lot. Li Hong continued to pretend to be 13 excuses.
"Haven't you always hoped to be like your imperial grandfather, to become a wise and martial emperor, and to be a good emperor? If you don't go out, if you've never fought like your father, how will you serve the public in the future? ”
"How so? You see, now they don't listen to you the same, you are the ...... of the Son of Heaven. ”
Before Li Hong finished speaking, Wu Mei, who was listening behind him, stretched out her jade hand, grabbed her ear and pulled it over.
"Your Majesty, you and Hong'er have said the same, and the concubine also wants to tell him a few words." Wu Mei tugged at Li Hong's ear, smiled at Li Zhi charmingly, and said.
"Okay, then you will enlighten Hong'er for me, although Hong'er is filial piety and commendable, but as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can he always be in the East Palace, naturally he needs to go to the battlefield to sharpen himself." Li Zhi turned his head to look at the mother and son, and said solemnly.
After finishing speaking, he motioned to Gao An to bring Taiping over, held it in his arms and teased him and continued to walk towards the Lin De Palace.
Wu Mei and Li Hong's mother and son connected hearts, and they slowly fell to the end, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind them were also far away from them.
Li Xian and the others were naturally supported to follow Li Zhi and continue to move forward.
"Little bunny, what are you pretending to be like you? Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, just deceive your father, you still kick your nose in the face, what? Do you still want your father to beg you to fail? Wu Mei continued to pull Li Hong's ears and lectured.
"How can the queen mother say this about her sons, because she is reluctant...... Oops, oops, it hurts, you lighten it, and then pinch Erchen's ears will really become very long. Li Hong bared his teeth and shouted in pain and begged for mercy.
"Unconscious little bunny, how many times can I pinch your ears? You can't come back after a year and a half? What's wrong with pulling your ears? If you want me to pull it in the future, I can't reach your mother. Wu Mei seriously flickered with reluctant contradictions.
"In short, if you want to go, it's better to go now than to go later, not to mention that now Liaodong no longer uses soldiers, my Datang's troops are enough to deal with it in peace, and you don't have to worry about your sons." Li Hong looked at the reluctance and weakness in Wu Mei's eyes, and put his arm around her shoulder and comforted.
"Alas, I didn't know how to give birth to such an unconscious thing as you back then, and that proverb was made up by Li Chunfeng for you. Then tell me, did Li Chunfeng later say that this trip was made up, or was it seen by the stars? The worry in Wu Mei's eyes still existed, and she continued to ask worriedly.
Li Hong looked at Wu Mei's eyes at the moment, and there was a feeling as if he had returned to his early childhood, wandering in the warm ocean of maternal love, the warm embrace, and the low whispering voice, which made him physically and mentally drunk, and he couldn't wait to enjoy it all the time.
It wasn't until Wu Mei reached out and pinched his waist that Li Hong reacted.
"The little rabbit cub is still distracted when talking to the queen mother, what do you think? Let me ask you, Li Chunfeng stargazing, is the trip he calculated for you to be auspicious or not, is it true or false? Or did you instruct him to make it up? Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, Wu Mei stared at Li Hong and asked.
"How could it be that I instructed it? I don't understand the astrological theory, and I can't direct it if I want to. What's more, even if I instructed him, you asked him, and he dared to lie to you? He doesn't want to live anymore, so this astrological observation lies to you. Li Hong continued to put his arm around Wu Mei's shoulders and said with relief.
At this time, Wu Mei was like an ordinary mother, nodding thoughtfully and muttering, "Then there will be no danger on this trip, right?" ”
"It should be, this guy's fortune-telling and astrological calculations have rarely been used over the years, but they seem to have come true every time, and they should be quite accurate." Li Hong shook Wu Mei's shoulders and continued: "Okay, Queen Mother, don't worry, you still don't worry about Erchen's martial arts now?" I think that day above the court, I fought with Yangwu in front of the ministers, fighting for a hundred and ten rounds, but the ministers did not ......fall behind at all. ”
"Didn't you end up being mentioned to my palace like a chick? If you're not the prince, why don't you try it? Ten of you are not enough to fight alone. By the way, your lawlessness, as well as Hua Meng and Mangzhong, you have to keep them by your side, and if the sting and cheetah are not there, I won't say more, plus Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, tomorrow the queen mother will send Banmei and Xunlan to you, and let the four of them serve you. The more Wu Mei spoke, the more careful she became, and she began to instruct her.
"No need, Queen Mother, Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue are enough, besides, it is not suitable to bring a woman in this army ...... itself." Li Hong said embarrassedly.
But halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Mei: "Hey, I said what's the matter with you Li Hong?" You have to work against me, don't you? What happened to the woman? Who told you that women are not fit to be in the army? Your imperial grandfather's sister, Princess Pingyang, followed Gaozu to raise an army against the Sui back then, and was she not as good as other men? Or is her military exploits not as prominent as that of men? The deeds of guarding the "Wei Ze Pass" are still talked about today, and the names of heroines and heroines among women, where do you think they are inferior to men? Don't refute it, it's so decided, tomorrow Banmei and Xunlan will pass, if you dare to return it to me, I'll let you go to the Western Regions! ”
After Wu Mei finished speaking, she angrily poked Li Hong's head a few times with her fingers.
Li Hong's head was a little dizzy when he was poked, and he looked down on women in front of a generation of empresses, and he had nothing to do with it, and he deserved to be scolded. If you leave halfway through, press CTRL+D to save the current page to your favorites so you can watch it later!
