Chapter 499: Spring Hunting
"No, Li Shuo just said that those assassins and the Wei Mansion were all controlled by King Yan, and they were not completely mastered."
Li Yuanba shook his head and said: "The government army has always been lazy in training, and it has always been not strict about obeying orders. Although now Li You has taken control of the ...... The government soldiers, but if you want to manage it in a unified way, it's a fool's dream. ”
"Even if the government soldiers are abolished, Li You only has 2,000 government soldiers, what is he doing with such a few people?" Li Su still couldn't believe it.
"Not only that, but there are also ......," Li Shuo said anxiously, "King Yan has a subordinate, what is it called Liu...... ...... in Liucheng"
"Liushu City!" Li Chengqian's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth also hooked up a hint of coldness.
"Who is Liu Shucheng?"
Li Yuanba didn't care about these little people in history at all, even if you are a secretary of the ministry, as long as you don't conform to Li Yuanba's temperament, you still won't be bird.
"Uncle Four Emperors, this Liushu City is the capital of the Weifu of Suzhou City, which is the closest to Chang'an City, and it is also Li You's cousin!"
Li Ke explained for Li Yuanba, "Speaking of which, this Liushucheng is really hateful...... Back then, this Suzhou Thorn History once wrote to His Majesty, impeaching this Liushucheng for being greedy, deducting the food and salary of the soldiers in the guard, and the women of the good families in the silver city, but Li You forcibly suppressed it, and even bit back, saying that the Suzhou Thorn History was corrupt! If it weren't for the prince's brother who personally entered Suzhou to investigate, I am afraid that Lord Shi would have been relegated to a certain corner of my Tang Dynasty! ”
"Oh?" Li Yuanba glanced at Li Chengqian with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect Chengqian to do such a good thing?" ”
"Nothing good or bad!" Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Then Suzhou Assassin Shi Shitao used to be a staff member of the little nephew's mansion, if it weren't for that, how could I desperately save him?" ”
"You're just that!" Li Yuanba chuckled and shook his head, and said, "But in today's world, if there are no interests, who will help an outsider for no reason?" ”
"Uncle Four Emperors. Listening to what you mean, it seems that you believe what Li Shuo said, do you really think that the fifth brother will rebel? ”
Li Yun is still too simple, he has never been willing to believe that Li You will conspire against the usurpation of the throne for the sake of the unattainable throne.
Li Yuanba took a sip of tea and said, "It's not so much that this king believes Li Shuo's words, but that this king believes that Li You has a reason to make dangerous moves." Since this king has returned to Chang'an, he is still holding more than half of the senior officials in Jiangzhou, as well as at least eighty percent of the merchants and squires in Jiangzhou! With Li You's deep scheming, I'm afraid that he already knows that his conspiracy has been exposed, is there a third way for him to go at this moment? ”
"Then why can't he just go into hiding?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.
"Him?" Li Yuanba turned his gaze to Li Chengqian. said coldly, "He can pretend to be a gentleman in Chang'an City, and he has been pretending to be a gentleman for more than ten years, do you think he will be willing?" ”
Li Yuanba's words made Li Chengqian and the other princes all stop talking, having such a brother really made them feel a little frightened!
"Alright, Bai Fu!"
Li Yuanba didn't want to talk about his family affairs in front of an outsider, so he turned his head and said to Bai Fu: "You take him down first and settle down well." ”
"No!"
Bai Fu naturally understood the meaning of Li Yuanba's 'good'. It's not that Li Yuanba is thoughtful, but because of this Li Shuo, it's more useful to be dead than alive.
……
Now, the number of people in the study has returned.
"It was really unexpected!" Li Yuanba's complexion changed slightly. said: "To be honest, this king really underestimated Li You a little bit this time. ”
"Uncle Four Emperors, don't you often say that things come to the last step. Just make a judgment and don't jump to conclusions. Li Chengqian's brows furrowed slightly, "Today, why is the Fourth Emperor Uncle a little discouraged?" ”
"Is this king discouraged?" Li Yuanba grinned and smiled slightly. Said: "This king is just a little emotional!" I have to admit that Li You is really hidden very deeply! ”
"Fourth Emperor Uncle, what should we do next?" Li Su asked.
"It seems that I have to go into the palace to see the imperial brother, and the information he got from him should be more than mine!"
Li Yuanba touched his chin and said.
"Lord Wang, Grandpa Liu is here!"
really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Li Yuanba finished talking about Li Shimin, Bai Fu's voice came in outside.
"Did he say anything?" Li Yuan was domineering.
"The emperor wants you to enter the palace to face the saint!"
"Good!" Li Yuanba responded, turned his head and said to Li Chengqian and the others: "You guys, enter the palace with this king!" ”
……
Following.
There was news from the palace that the emperor was going to conduct the first spring hunt of the year in Tianfeng Mountain.
Subsequently, the Imperial City Forbidden Army, the Left and Right Military Guards, and the Left and Right Xiao Cavalry Corps each sent 5,000 men and horses to deploy and control the periphery of Tianfeng Mountain.
And Tianfeng Mountain happened to be in Suzhou, so the government officials and government soldiers in Suzhou began to consciously cooperate with these armies to carry out security protection work.
At the same time, Tianfeng Mountain was also under martial law within a radius of twenty miles, in line with the principle that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, but anyone who steps into Tianfeng Mountain during the spring hunt will be arrested, and after the spring hunt, they will be interrogated and interrogated one by one.
Three days later, the camp tent and the high protective fence had been erected, but in just one day, the hunting palace that had been built long ago was also cleared, and the five armies were assigned and arranged to be stationed.
In the next two days, Li Shimin moved into the hunting palace with the palace ministers of the imperial court and the princes and princesses in the palace.
Of course, except for the prince, princes, and princesses, the rest of the clan and the courtiers who accompanied them were still camped out, maintaining the scene of the spring hunt.
Only this time, Li Tai and Li You did not participate in the spring hunt.
Li You has been interested in poetry and poetry since he was a child, and he is even less interested in martial arts and even marching and hunting, and it is not surprising that he did not participate in the spring hunt this time.
As for Li You, he just said that he had suffered from the wind and cold in the past few days, and his body was quite bad, so he did not come to participate in the spring hunt, which is a bit intriguing!
Li Yuanba is actually the busiest person these days, although on the surface, this time he is not the main person in charge of the Spring Hunt Guard, but secretly?
The 3,000 Shenwu Guards, armed with firearms such as 'Hanyang Guns' and 'Grenades', had already infiltrated into Tianfeng Mountain and hid under the cover of several other guards.
After all, although this is a tentative action, its danger is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Above the hunting grounds.
"Hahaha, I haven't touched a bow and arrow for a long time, these days, you have to have a good time with me!"
Li Shimin seems to have really come to have fun, and he is not bothered by Li You's rebellion at all.
"Your Majesty, we are all literati, and we have always dealt with the pen, if I want to have fun with you...... In Weichen's opinion, your highnesses are a good hand! ”
Fang Xuanling stroked the white beard under his chin, and rarely patted the sycophants of Li Shimin and the princes.
"You guy...... Which of the six arts of the gentleman is worse? Li Shimin glared at Fang Xuanling angrily and said, "Even if it was more than ten years ago, I'm afraid that even I wouldn't dare to win!" ”
"Alright, Brother Huang!" Li Yuanba stepped forward and gaged: "Is it so much fun to embarrass Fang Xiang?" Let's hurry up and announce the start of the spring hunt, if you don't shoot the first arrow, who will dare to move? ”
Although the Tang Dynasty established the country with military force, and the people's customs have always been strong, it is rude to talk to the emperor like this after all.
This is Li Yuanba, if he had been a different person, he would have been drowned by the civil and military ministers around Li Shimin with spittle.
"Alright, alright! Know you're in a hurry! ”
Li Shimin drew a big bow from the horse's belly, then bent the bow and shot an arrow at a clever roe deer dozens of feet away.
The hapless roe deer still snoeked through the low bushes, unaware of the danger.
"Poof!"
Li Shimin's arm strength is amazing, just this arrow directly shot the little roe deer through, and the little roe deer didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell to the ground.
"Spring Hunting, Begin~"
Liu Sanshui let out a ghost crying wolf howl, and he was screaming at the top of his throat.
"Drive!"
"Wow!"
Those princes and the sons and nephews of the civil and military ministers, after Liu Sanshui's words landed, they were like crazy, throwing their horsewhips, clamping the horse's belly, and rushing towards the depths of the hunting ground.
"Hey, it's been a year, right? It's probably been another year since it's been so lively! ”
Watching this group of wolf-like little guys rushing away, Yu Chi Jingde laughed.
"Yes, that kid in my family knows that he is bored at home all day long, and this time it's rare to take this opportunity to come out and have a good time, and he won't get sick!"
Speaking of this, Li Jing turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Old guy, do you want to compare with my old brother?" See who hunts the most prey today? ”
"Hahaha, it's rare that Senior Brother Yao has such a good interest, if I don't agree, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?"
Cheng Yanjin laughed, but as he spoke, he slammed his feet and rushed out towards the front.
"This old man is not ashamed, he is so old, and he is still a scoundrel, it is really hopeless!"
Looking at Cheng Yanjin's back, Li Ji shook his head and said, "Let's go too, we can't let this old guy take the lead!" ”
"These old immortals, they still have to fight for this old age, it's really ......"
Li Shimin smiled, and it could be seen that he was in a rare good mood today.
Li Yuanba didn't go anywhere, so he stayed by Li Shimin's side.
He took a look at the rest of the group, most of them were civilian officials, and only the eldest grandson Wuji was still somewhat forced.
These people were all people who appeared in the Liangyi Hall a few days ago, so Li Yuanba didn't have the slightest concern when he asked:
"Brother Huang, what has happened to You'er in the past few days?" (To be continued......)
