When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come, how much do you know about the past?
Farewell to the Great Zhou Dynasty, farewell to the Great Sui Empire, and ushered in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The wind on the midsummer day was already very hot. Just like the businessmen and officials sitting in the restaurant listening to the ditty, they could not live comfortably at home, so they went to the restaurant to have fun.
Not far from the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Dynasty Palace, melodious piano music could be heard in the restaurants on the street.
The elegant guests are holding a glass of fine wine, listening to melodious piano music, and chatting about topics of interest to them.
Some people whispered in private that when the emperor was conquering the world, he promised to make King Qin the prince after he ascended the throne. Later, because the King of Qin had made great contributions, he changed the title to the eldest prince out of fear.
Some people also discussed that after King Qin pacified Wang Shichong in Luoyang, the emperor asked his beloved concubine and others to go to Luoyang to select the maids of the Sui Dynasty and the treasures in the palace.
The imperial concubine and others privately asked Qin Wu for treasures and officials for their relatives, but the King of Qin refused.
Therefore, the concubines held grudges in their hearts. After returning to the imperial city, they read a copy of King Qin's book in front of the emperor...
It's only midsummer now, and the imperial city of Chang'an already has a chilling air in the autumn wind.
An old man and a young man were sitting quietly by the window facing the street on the second floor.
The old man was dressed in a green shirt and had a kind and gentle expression on his face.
The young man is dressed in white clothes that are better than snow. The texture is woven from silk from the sky above the nine heavens, and he wears a pair of thin boots that are not produced in the Tang Dynasty.
There was a pot of spiritual wine and a few plates of side dishes in front of the two of them.
It was clear that the drunkard was not interested in drinking, but in the lingering sound of silk and bamboo in the restaurant, and in some secrets that the merchants and officials inadvertently talked about.
The young man in bright clothes and angry horse is Li Xiuyuan who has just burned a fire of nirvana and passed through the tribulation.
Just as he expected, even after Buddhist Nirvana, he was like the original Phoenix Nirvana, returning him to his twelve-year-old state.
In No. 47, the old shopkeeper Hong Yuanhai, who had witnessed the rise and fall of three dynasties alone, finally waited for the return of his young master.
Looking at the impassive Li Xiuyuan in front of him, he sighed.
He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the two little girls who left that year, even Shuzi and Xiaohu, couldn't imagine that the little master would return to his teenage appearance."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
I have read all the books left by Li Xiuyuan several times.
Finally learned some unknown things, such as the scene that will happen today.
Just one look at it made even the old man from the prehistoric world find it incredible and terrifying.
However, at the moment, Li Xiuyuan had just passed through the Nirvana Tribulation, and his mind was still filled with blazing flames and thunderous thunder, and his thoughts had not yet turned to the Tang Empire.
"On what day, is it possible that the Tang Empire will change again?"
Even though he was not fully awake, Li Xiuyuan also knew that the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty had not yet begun, so how could it be possible that the emperor had changed again overnight.
The old man did not speak this time, but spoke to him through a voice.
It turned out that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was ordered to pacify Dou Jiande. When he returned to the army after defeating him, he discovered that the sister of the former Emperor Sui Yang had been married off by his younger brother Li Yuanji.
The King of Qin had always been secretly in love with the Yang family. He couldn't help but get angry when he heard this.
My heart is fighting for my life, but you are snatching my woman from me in the imperial city, so I broke up with each other and insisted that the prince Jiancheng and his younger brother Yuanji were having an affair with the emperor's favorite concubine Zhang.
The prince is not an easy man either. After Emperor Gaozu ascended the throne, he began to control the government and maintain good relations with powerful ministers.
He also made a promise to his fourth brother, Yuan Ji, to ensure that his brother would be on his side at the critical moment, and that the prince's people would be in and outside the palace.
Previously, the prince had been holding back considering that his second brother, King Qin, could lead the army in the war.
Now, seeing that the world is at peace, it is time to solve the hidden dangers in the palace.
Therefore, he wrote to Emperor Gaozu that his fourth brother Yuanji should be the commander-in-chief to conquer the Turks, in order to seize the military power from the King of Qin.
After introducing them in detail for a while, the food and wine on the table were already left.
Li Xiuyuan asked the waiter to remove the food and replace it with a pot of tea, because he and the old man wanted to witness a historic moment here.
The fire was burning gently and the kettle was emitting light smoke, but Li Xiuyuan was secretly sighing.
In order to fight for the chair under the emperor, for a woman who is alluring to the country, and to become the master of one party, a scene of brothers killing each other is about to take place before their eyes.
At this moment, he thought of the second prince of the Five Domains Dynasty.
The guy who proclaimed himself emperor at the cruelest moment of the war in southern Xinjiang and then cut off the food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. The guy who did not hesitate to lead the North Sea army to invade for the sake of the throne.
The guy who finally died under his own sword...think about it, why did he suffer?
At a big level, it was because the people of the Five Realms Dynasty had a stable life, but at a small level, it was because he and the eldest prince were killing enemies in southern Xinjiang. The two of them cherished each other and had a closer relationship.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "After watching today's dispute, I will no longer care about where this pool of sewage will flow."
The old man didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to say this, so he could only chuckle and said, "You came here just to witness some major events that happened in the Tang Dynasty, right?"
Li Xiuyuan reached out to make tea and replied, "Not necessarily."
The old man looked in the direction of the palace and couldn't help but said: "Look, the wind is blowing."
…
This day is the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude.
Prince Jiancheng received a secret letter from Emperor Gaozu's favorite concubine Zhang Concubine, informing him that there might be changes in the palace.
The prince was shocked and summoned his younger brother Li Yuanji to the palace for discussion. After making a decision, the two decided to enter the palace to question the emperor.
So the two brothers walked together and entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate to meet their father, the great ancestor.
The two of them took dozens of guards with them, and after entering the palace, they headed to the Linhu Palace in the Tai Chi Palace.
In the prince's opinion, as long as the two brothers capture King Qin, they can control the palace, and then they should liquidate King Qin's gang members.
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, his ambush men were all waiting for news of their attack from the palace, including the black-clothed killer he invited today, who were all waiting for him, waiting for his orders.
But he didn't know that as the King of Qin, he was also waiting for news from the palace, and also for the movement of His Highness the Crown Prince.
two
Everyone on the side is looking forward to a successful battle today. Once defeated, both sides will face the end of being purged by their opponents.
This was a fight without a declaration of war.
The two of them walked forward, and Li Yuanji was not idle either. He looked coldly at everything outside Linhu Palace.
Pointing to the floating boat on the big lake, he said, "Brother, my father should go on a lake cruise. We came at the wrong time. Have we been tricked?"
Prince Jiancheng's heart trembled, and he secretly circulated the energy around his body.
He nodded to his brother Yuanji.
The eunuch leading the way was an insider sent by the King of Qin. He was shocked when he heard this. If the matter was revealed, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the prince.
So the hand caged in the sleeve moved, and he was ready to send out a signal to report the news to King Qin's people!
Unexpectedly, before he could raise his hand, he saw a long sword facing him!
The prince brought all the dead soldiers today. Because he was afraid of alarming the enemies inside and outside the palace, he broke the rules and everyone carried weapons, just to prevent accidents from happening.
The people facing the eunuch were the prince's dead men, and when they saw something was wrong, they took action.
The old eunuch shouted violently and rushed forward. As he spoke, he took out the firecracker to light the fireworks in his hand.
However, the prince's dead soldiers would not do what he wanted. As soon as he ran forward two feet, he stood upright like a zombie.
A long sword pierced deeply into his back and came out from his chest. A stream of blood spurted out like a fountain and instantly sprayed onto the bluestone on the ground, dyeing the green grass on the roadside red.
The old eunuch fell heavily to the ground, twitched twice, his eyes were wide open, and he lost his breath.
Prince Jiancheng looked at this scene coldly. Although he did not know that the old eunuch in front of him was a secret chess player of King Qin, his intuition made him wary.
That's why he suddenly attacked in an instant, and when the old eunuch was about to take action, he ordered his men to stab him with a sword.
The black-clothed men were shocked when they found out the firework and fireworks in the old eunuch's hand.
He said to the prince in a solemn voice: "Your Highness, this guy is probably well prepared."
Li Yuanji spat, looked at the old eunuch who didn't close his eyes and kicked him over, and said harshly: "This old guy also wants to plot against us, so it's better to die."
When the old eunuch died, the eunuchs and maids in front of Linhu Palace were shocked. Even the guards guarding outside the palace became nervous and took a few steps closer to the prince.
The prince did not say a word. He watched his men slowly pull out the long sword from the old eunuch's body, and scanned the surrounding area. For a moment, no one in the eunuch palace dared to look directly at him, and they all lowered their heads.
Standing quietly not far from the Linhu Palace, Prince Luck listened to the sound of laughter on the boat on the lake and knew clearly that his father was probably arranged by some people today.
Fortunately, he came to Linhu Palace. At worst, after his father comes back from the lake, he will lay out everything and settle all the grievances today.
There was silence in the outer hall near the lake. His Royal Highness stood quietly under a plum tree.
The man in black beside him ignored the blood flowing quietly on the ground and stared coldly at the big ship on the big lake.
Such a calm and indifferent scene made a group of palace guards, eunuchs and maids feel chilled.
The guards outside the Lake Lining Palace had already drawn their swords from their waists. Although they did not charge at His Highness, their responsibility was to protect the Emperor on the lake.
The men in black under the prince's hand were also quietly guarding around him. They also knew that they were going to face a fierce battle today, and it was a life-and-death battle.
The prince waited quietly. He believed in the secret guards and strength he had deployed in the palace.
Not long after waiting, there was a sudden commotion in the Lakeside Palace. It seemed that something unexpected had happened in the hall.
At this moment, Li Yuanji rushed out of the palace, the sword in his hand dripping with blood.
He shouted to Prince Li Jiancheng: "Brother, we have been fooled!"
