Speaking of this, he also had a headache. In the early years, the child's health was not good, but after Ji Song and Sun Daozhang's care over the years, as long as he was not overjoyed or sad, he rarely did it.
But the disease is cured, but my temper has changed. He led a group of little bastards everywhere to cause trouble all day long, and there was no peace for a day. The queen complained a lot about this, saying that she was used to it.
Yes, he couldn't deny this. He had cherished this girl since he was a child, and he was afraid of losing it when he held it in his hands. She was the true apple of his eye.
On weekdays, let alone scolding, he even speaks softly.
Now, this little girl from Jinyang can turn the world upside down with the support of him, the best person in the world.
"Isn't this child still young?" Li Shimin said awkwardly.
"Small? You say he is still young? You are a nineteen-year-old girl, and you still call him young?"
Changsun was furious immediately, but Li Shimin's next words left him speechless. He only heard: "Isn't there the eldest lady of the Ji family? How old is my daughter?"
The eldest grandson blinked, and then he remembered that Ji's eldest daughter, Kitten, was already twenty years old and was not married yet.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about it!"
Changsun sat down slumped in silence, wondering what all this was about.
"If you're fine, don't stare at that girl from Jinyang. It's not like Daochang Sun has never said that even if that girl gets married, she won't be able to have children. It's better not to get married. Just be happy in this life. With me and you With Cheng Qian’s protection, no one dares to gossip!”
Changsun wanted to refute, but found that she could do nothing. Yes, Jinyang's disease seems to be cured, but Taoist priest Sun said that if he gives birth to a child, 90% of the time he will not be able to recover.
Seeing his eldest grandson calm down, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, but in order to divert his attention, he still planned to sell Ji Song. Who wanted him to make himself unhappy all day long?
"You think Zi Yi is the same and you don't care? What will happen if this delay continues? Look back at the families in Chang'an to see if there is a suitable one. If you really can't find one, find one among the princes."
In fact, that's what Li Shimin said. Except for the youngest princes, there were not many suitable ones. But the eldest grandson rolled his eyes and realized that there was actually another suitable one...
"Your Majesty, Legend of the Falcon has an urgent matter!"
Just when the eldest grandson was about to say something, Chen Shou suddenly came to hug him. Even his voice was a little hasty, which seemed to Li Shimin to be in a daze.
"Send it over immediately!"
Li Shimin walked quickly to the door, grabbed the bamboo tube in Chen Shou's hand and opened it quickly.
As soon as the eldest grandson saw that something was going on, she wanted to leave. This was what she had always done. But when he saw the emperor's red and angry face, he was shocked.
"His Majesty.........."
Bang~
Papers were seen flying all over the sky, and the bamboo tube was thrown into pieces, which showed the anger in his heart!
"Bastards, a bunch of bastards, why didn't I realize that they are actually a bunch of beasts with human faces and animal hearts? The royal family of the Tang Dynasty has lost all their face. How can I have the dignity to meet my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"What shame do you have to see the world!"
Wow~
Everything on the table was swept to the floor by him. When he saw the model of Wanmin Gong in front of him that he couldn't put down and looked at several times a day, he took a step forward and smashed it into pieces in the horrified eyes of his grandson. Got the powder!
"Hahaha, the Palace of Ten Thousand People, the Palace of Ten Thousand People, how virtuous and capable I am. What qualifications do I have to build this Palace of Ten Thousand People?"
Chen Shou burst into tears and fell to his knees.
The other palace maids and eunuchs were already trembling with fear and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Changsun calmed down, waved everyone away, then picked up the letter on the ground and read it. This was written by Ji Song, and she was so familiar with the familiar regular script.
But when she saw that someone had sent the drawings of a catapult to the Great Eater, she almost didn't deliver it. What was a catapult? She is not a harem woman, she understands the advantages of this for siege.
Datang
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are engaged in cannibalism in the border areas. The war has not officially started yet, but someone has given the recently improved catapult, an important weapon of the Tang Dynasty, to the cannibals? How stupid would you be to do this?
She could already imagine Ji Song's mood when he learned the news.
Who sent it? Changsun didn't want to know, even if he didn't check, there would only be a small group of people.
"Check, I want to see who is in a hurry to die, and I will help her!"
Li Shimin had actually guessed who it was, but he still couldn't believe that these things were actually done by the royal family themselves. If he wasn't so angry with others, he would just find out who killed him.
But if it goes as he thinks, the Li family will completely become the laughing stock of the Tang Dynasty and even in the future. I think of what is written in the history books: In the summer of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, when the Tang Dynasty was in confrontation with the Western powers, someone from the Li family offered China's heavy catapults and food... Such words are simply It's worse than killing him!
"Your Majesty, do you really want to investigate?"
The eldest grandson's face showed pain, and the royal family could no longer bleed, but how should this end?
"Investigate, must investigate, this matter cannot be hidden, it cannot be hidden at all. This is just a message sent by a flying eagle, and it will be known to the whole world in a short time. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to strike first and save someone when the time comes. Forced into the uterus......"
The eldest grandson was stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, and he staggered to sit on the chair.
Yes, others would not dare to force the emperor to marry him, but those Shandong nobles who claimed to be Taoist defenders would definitely dare to do so. In the past, the emperor could suppress them because of his righteousness, but this time he was being reasonable!
What? You are only allowed to betray the country as a royal family, but you are not allowed to make others profit for yourself? There is no such truth in the world. The aristocratic family, which has been suppressed for a long time, will never let go of this opportunity. If it is not good, it is an opportunity for the aristocratic family to regroup!
"His Majesty....."
"Go away, go away!"
Li Shimin, who was upset, heard someone calling him and scolded him without thinking.
But Chen Shou gritted his teeth and said, "It's Li Jie, the commander of Baiqisi, he's back!"
Li Jie?
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and said quickly: "Quick, let him come in!"
When Li Jie came to the main hall, Li Shimin couldn't believe that this was the same Li Jie? The whole body was in tatters, the face was gray, and exuded a sour smell.
"Your Majesty, I...are back!"
Li Jie almost cried. Only he knew what he had experienced along the way. It took him less than a month to return to Chang'an after traveling thousands of miles. He only slept three hours a day. Such days It almost made him collapse!
But Li Shimin had no intention of paying attention to this now. He just said in a solemn voice: "Did Pingyang ask you to come back?"
"yes!"
"What happened in the Western Region?"
「........................」
Time passed slowly, and when Li Jie finished speaking, he couldn't help but fainted. Wave someone to carry it down to rest. Looking at Shou Pingyang's handwritten letter, he couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw Ji Song unconscious with blood all over the city.
Shaking off the letter in his hand, he looked at the queen who was slumped in the chair and said, "No need to check, we already know who it is. You are really my good sister and daughter who used the little prince of Shi Kingdom to send the drawings to Dashi. !」
Bang~
"Why don't they die? Why don't they die?"
"My great general was so angry that he vomited blood in Guancheng. It's really a great skill. What the enemy couldn't do, they did it. What a great skill!"
He was really tired. As Ji Song said, he was not afraid of opponents who were like gods, but teammates who were like pigs. When encountering these careless bastards, even if Datang has a great fortune, it can still be completely defeated!
Tap tap tap~
There were rapid footsteps outside the hall, and you didn't need to guess who it was!
"Father, Emperor, Mother!"
Li Chengqian walked into the palace, his eyes narrowed when he saw the mess on the ground, but he calmed down and saluted the emperor and empress.
Li Shimin nodded, pointed to the letter on the table, and said discouragedly: "Read it yourself, look at it carefully, look at it seriously, and see what your aunts and sisters have done!"
Ding!
Li Chengqian had a bad feeling in his heart and looked at his mother, but his eldest grandson didn't even look at him.
I had no choice but to pick up the letter and read it.
There was no silence in the hall, only the rustling sound of Li Chengqian turning the pages of letters.
Li Chengqian's face turned blue and white, and his eyes began to become bloodshot. Apparently he was angry.
"How dare they?"
With trembling hands, he really couldn't believe that this was something done by his own family. They are traitors. The Li royal family is poaching the Tang Dynasty. Do they think that the Tang Dynasty has too much national destiny?
"What are they afraid of? I've figured it out clearly. Tian doesn't feel bad for betraying me. How many times will I be able to betray them with the wealth that I spent all my efforts to save for the Tang Dynasty? Ah!"
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Li Shimin saw Chen Shou wandering outside the door with an anxious look on his face, and he suddenly felt ominous.
"Come in, let's talk about something, why are you hanging around?"
Hearing the emperor's scolding, Chen Shou breathed a sigh of relief. But I feel helpless, what is going on today, one thing after another, can't people be kicked back?
"Your Majesty, the general guarding Yumen Pass, Cao Qin reported that a few days ago, hundreds of people rushed to the pass from the Western Regions, shouting... the words of Duke Tan's rebellion... .”
"What?"
Li Chengqian almost jumped up and said, "It's impossible. How could Ziyi rebel? This is a rumor!"
Chen Shou said helplessly: "Your Highness, listen to what I have to say!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll see for myself!"
After saying that, he took the letter and read it. When he saw the back, his brows relaxed.
"Father, it seems that someone is really looking for death. Take a look!"
At this time, ten people could feel the murderous intention in Li Chengqian, the prince. Yes, Li Chengqian was ready to kill. A bunch of idiots are spreading rumors that Ji Song, the Duke of Ning, is rebelling? Fortunately, Cao Qinji's family controlled her. If this spread, what would happen?
Once provoked by someone with intentions, it could range from a defeat in the Western Regions to a mutiny in the army. The worst could be a catastrophic disaster.
"Okay, you are as stupid as a pig. You are looking for whoever you want!"
"Go, drag these people to their respective mansions, and beat them to death in front of them. If they faint, splash them with water to wake them up."
Looking at Chen Shou who was still stunned on the ground, he said angrily: "Go, I can't speak anymore?"
Chen Shou quickly jumped up and ran out crawling and rolling. When he came outside the hall, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Let's go and kill people with our family..."
------------------
In the Taiji Hall, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Xie Lian, Yuchi Gong... even the retired Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also came.
After reading the letter in their hands, everyone was both angry and speechless!
This is simply a huge scandal. The children of the royal family provided siege weapons to the cannibals who were confronting the Tang Dynasty? Is this because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not die quickly enough, or is it because the Tang Dynasty people did not feel sorry for tens of thousands more casualties?
They are all old men who have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty for half their lives. From the establishment of the country through hundreds of battles, to the arrival of the prosperous age. They are happy, they are relieved, they are excited...but they still feel disheartened when encountering such a thing.
Decades of hardship are no match for the betrayal of Datang's interests by their own family. Why have they been busy for half a lifetime?
I'm confused, I'm tired, I don't want to care anymore!
"Your Majesty, I am getting old... I have been in a hazy state recently and am often not sober... For the sake of the fact that I have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty for half my life, please let me go back to my hometown for retirement! "
Fang Xuanling seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. Ignoring the reminder from her friend Du Ruhui's eyes, she looked directly at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please give me permission!"
Katcha!
The jade cup in his hand was crushed into pieces, and even if the palm of his hand was scratched, there was no feeling at all. It was as if his heart had been hit hard, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe...
"Your Majesty, Xuanling..."
Du Ruhui wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the emperor, saying: "I understand, I understand all this. Our family is unfortunate, why do we have such bastards!"
"I wish I could kill them now!"
He patted his face and said with red eyes: "But I still want shame, and the Tang Dynasty also wants shame. If this spreads, what will the hard work of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers all these years mean to me?"
"I will give you an explanation, I will definitely do it!"
..................................................
When everyone walked out of the hall, Fang Xuanling had a pale expression on his face, as if nothing had happened. But those who knew him well knew that Fang Xuanling at this time was the truly terrifying Fang Xuanling!
"Xuanling, we have to trust His Majesty, he will handle this matter well."
Fang Xuanling raised his eyes to look at the clear sky and said, "I know, I just think it's not worth it. We have worked hard and spent our whole lives, but we can't beat the hearts of the people!"
"That kid Ziyi has a broad mind, right? He has a strong temperament, right? But so what? It feels so uncomfortable to be stabbed in the back!"
"I don't know what he was feeling when he wrote this letter. But from the twists and turns, the omissions, and the spring and autumn style of writing in the letter, it's not difficult to see how much courage he mustered up to write this letter."
"The war in the Western Region is about to break out. A battle involving millions of people from both sides combined. This is a real million people. Has there ever been such a peerless battle since ancient times? No, looking through the history books, even if Fu Jian is among the millions of soldiers Most of them are civilians."
"He is not only responsible for the victory or defeat of the Tang Dynasty, he is fighting for the fate of the Central Plains and China! It's okay if he doesn't help at this time, but stabbing him in the back? Is his conscience eaten by a dog? "
Du Ruhui choked up and said, "I know, we all know!"
"No, you don't know!"
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "This battle seems to be a battle for hegemony, but who knew that this would be the first formal collision between Eastern and Western civilizations? If we win, our Tang Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai for the next hundred years. We, the people of the Tang Dynasty, will also be above all other races. But if we lose..."
"If the land of the Western Region is not guaranteed, how will the broken ridges be reconnected? This is a battle of races, a battle of civilizations, and a battle for our descendants, the Tang Dynasty. We cannot afford to lose!"
