How could Li Yuan not hear the meaning of Li Shimin's words, and he also understood this matter in his heart. The music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting girl's dress probably had nothing to do with the third princess of his family, but Li Yuan still said: "Maybe this How many years has it been since your third sister became interested in this field?"
"It's possible..." Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan's words of forcibly installing a "talented woman" character on his third sister. He could only nod helplessly, and complained in his heart: "If the third sister can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, That is unless the sun comes out from the west!”
When Li Shimin was a child, he was not afraid of anyone else, but he was afraid of his third sister. After he got into trouble, the third sister would really beat him! Thinking of the fear of being dominated by the third sister, Li Shimin felt his liver tremble from the bottom of his heart. When the third sister returned to Chang'an this time, she was afraid that Chang'an would go crazy!
Along with the sound of drum music, Li Xiuning's Luanjia got closer and closer to Chongxuanmen, and the drum band's performance gradually weakened. After all, he was about to be interviewed by Li Yuan, and he couldn't continue to preach "War Drums" to be interviewed by Li Yuan. Bar!
As Li Xiuning approached Chongxuanmen, Li Yuan also led the civil and military officials down from the tower of Chongxuanmen and stood at the city gate waiting for Li Xiuning's arrival.
Seeing his Aye standing at the city gate, Li Xiuning stretched out his hand to signal the entire honor guard to stop. With the support of Lu Qiuming and Ye Zhu, he stepped off the Luanjia and walked toward Li Yuan.
Li Yuan had not seen his third princess for several years. When Li Yuan saw Li Xiuning, Li Yuan's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he saw that Li Xiuning looked very similar to his first wife, Queen Dou. , seeing his father's increasingly gray temples, his eyes turned red.
"Daughter, meet Aye!" Li Xiuning came to Li Yuan and gave a blessing ceremony. At this time, Li Xiuning's voice was trembling, and she was obviously trying her best to suppress her excitement.
"Good boy! Get up quickly!" Li Yuan smiled and supported his third daughter, and then looked at Li Xiuning up and down. "It's good to come back! It's good to come back!" Li Yuan directly held Li Xiuning's hand and spoke in a somewhat loud voice. Trembling and obviously very excited, Li Yuan said, "Follow Aye into the city!" Li Yuan who said this obviously did not regard himself as the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but said this as a father.
"Yes!" Li Xiuning nodded obediently and let Li Yuan hold her hand and walked into the Chongxuan Gate. At this time, Li Xiuning's mind was full of Li Yuan holding his hand and playing in the yard of his hometown in Taiyuan when he was a child. scene.
And Lu Chen, who was riding a white fox in the distance, finally met the legendary Li Yuan and Li Shimin. Although Li Yuan was not as good-looking as "Taiping Guangji" said, he was indeed not considered heroic. As a person, if Li Yuan were not wearing a dragon robe, if he were wearing civilian clothes, he would be basically the same as the old man playing chess with a cattail leaf fan at the gate of the community in the summer.
As for Li Shimin, as history books say, he was handsome and full of heroic spirit. If this appearance were to be seen in later generations, he would be the representative of a "sunny man."
Lu Chen looked at these people from a distance, and these people also saw Lu Chen, because Lu Chen's hairstyle was really eye-catching, and because of the cold weather, Lu Chen also wore warm earrings on his ears. Earmuffs, this is even more eye-catching.
Just like that, Lu Chen and Li Shimin looked at each other directly. Li Shimin nodded and smiled directly at Lu Chen. Lu Chen directly raised his hand to Li Shimin on the horse. Lu Chen traveled to the early Tang Dynasty and met Li Shimin for the first time. The meeting was so short, the two only made brief eye contact.
Since Li Yuan was holding Li Xiuning's hand and wanted to walk, others could not ride horses or ride in cars, so they could only follow on foot. Lu Chen also followed the Romans, holding the white fox and following behind the large army.
"Chai Prince Consort, the mistress of the Princess Mansion is back. It seems Chai Prince Consort has suffered a lot!" The generals of Tiance Mansion who were following Li Shimin all joked about Chai Shao, but Chai Shao could only smile helplessly. Look at these guys.
After passing the Chongxuan Gate and bypassing the Taiye Pond, there is the Xuanwu Gate, and Lu Chen finally came to the place where the "Xuanwu Gate Incident" took place in the ninth year of Wude. At this time, the place was still peaceful, but there was a station on the corridor of the Wengcheng wall. There are soldiers stationed here, and the top of Wengcheng is even more flags flying!
Who would have thought that in three years' time, this place would be filled with blood and bones?
Because of Li Xiuning's return, Li Yuan directly hosted a banquet for the ministers at the Tai Chi Hall today. The other soldiers of the Detachment of Women were naturally stationed in the military camp. As for Lu Chen, he followed Li Xiuning to the Tai Chi Hall.
Lu Chen walked all the way and looked at the huge Chang'an Palace. The entire palace was really well guarded with five steps, one post, three steps and one sentry. However, Lu Chen didn't think there was anything surprising. After all, this is where the emperor lives. Martial law cannot be overstated.
Originally, Lu Chen was not qualified to enter the Tai Chi Hall. However, Li Yuan asked to see Lu Chen by name. Lu Chen could only follow these civil and military officials to the Tai Chi Hall. However, after the civil and military officials entered the Tai Chi Hall, Lu Chen could only wait. Outside the gate of Tai Chi Hall, waiting for Li Yuan's summons.
Lu Chen stood outside the door of the Tai Chi Hall, peeking into the Tai Chi Hall from time to time. He saw civil and military officials kneeling in their seats according to their rank. In front of each person was a small table with food and drinks on it. things.
"This cold weather is perfect for eating hot pot! If you just leave it like this and don't eat it, won't it get cold? I wonder if they will collectively get a bad stomach after eating these cold things!" Lu Chen couldn't help but think in a wicked way, " If all these ministers get a bad stomach because of eating something cold, the scene will be spectacular!"
Just when Lu Chen took a sneak peek at the situation in the Tai Chi Hall, he saw a young eunuch who was probably about seventeen or eighteen years old coming to the door and said, "I'm here to greet Lu Chen!" The young eunuch didn't seem to see Lu Chen and said directly He shouted in a high-pitched voice outside.
"I'm here!" Lu Chen, who was standing next to the little eunuch, looked at the little eunuch with strange eyes. He was obviously right next to you, so why are you shouting?
"Master Lu, follow this slave into the palace!" After the little eunuch shouted, he turned to look at Lu Chen and said to Lu Chen with a smile.
"Hey! Thank you so much, father-in-law!" Lu Chen said, raising his hands to the little eunuch.
Seeing that Lu Chen's attitude was more respectful, the little eunuch nodded with satisfaction to Lu Chen, turned around and walked into the Tai Chi Hall, while Lu Chen followed the little eunuch into the Tai Chi Hall.
Lu Chen raised his head and straightened his chest and walked to the center of the hall. He stood in the hall neither humble nor arrogant. There was a sense of heroism all over his body. Seeing Lu Chen's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, Li Yuan, who was sitting behind the Long Bookcase, couldn't help but nodded. This kind of calmness of honor and disgrace is not something ordinary people can have.
You must know that people in this era, no matter how big the officials are, are a little trepidatious when meeting the emperor. After all, the emperor can take your head, or even the head of the whole family, with just one word, and they are afraid of offending Tianyan.
"You, a country man, are so ignorant. Why don't you kneel down when you see a saint?" Wang Gui, who was sitting aside, directly shouted at Lu Chen.
"Oh?" Lu Chen turned to look at Wang Gui, and saw that this man had a thin face and three strands of gray beard under his chin. Even though he was wearing court clothes, he could still tell that this man was thin. At this time, Wang Gui was already He is past the age of knowing destiny, so in Lu Chen's opinion, Wang Gui is just a thin old man. "Who is this before I ask?" Lu Chen asked Wang Gui.
"I am Wang Gui!" Wang Gui said, staring at Lu Chen.
"Oh! You are Wang Gui!" Lu Chen looked at Wang Gui and said with a smile, "Your Majesty hasn't scolded me yet, what did you say?" Lu Chen said directly to Wang Gui, "Why, there are so many people You didn't say anything, did you show yourself?"
"These are strong words!" Wang Gui was choked by Lu Chen's words and pointed directly at Lu Chen.
"Why are you trying to snatch words and arguments? No matter how powerful your official is, how can you be more powerful than His Majesty? Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet? Why are you jumping out of here? Are you making yourself visible?" What Lu Chen meant in his words was Wang Guimu. Wu Gangchang, overstepping one's duties, this is a crime of great disrespect. If Lu Chen's words are true, Wang Gui will be dismissed from office, or lose his life in the worst case. Of course, Wang Gui can be regarded as an old man who is close to Li Yuan. Of course, Li Yuan will not Wang Gui will be punished.
"Your Majesty, I never meant to offend you! I just saw that this person has no respect for Your Majesty, so I couldn't help but lecture him!" Lu Chen's words directly made Wang Gui break into a cold sweat. You must know that the Tian family is ruthless, let alone yourself, then What about Liu Wenjing? Didn't Li Yuan just kill him?
"Wang Aiqing is worrying too much! I don't mean to blame you!" Li Yuan said with a smile, but the look he looked at Lu Chen was a little more meaningful, "Today is the day when my third princess returns to the capital. On this happy day, all the ministers can speak freely!" Li Yuan said this completely, because when Li Xiuning comes back, if you say anything today, as long as it is not too excessive, you will be punished.
"Lu Chen, why don't you salute me when you see me?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked with a smile.
"The common people were really frightened when they saw His Majesty's face. They forgot to salute for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" Lu Chen said and prepared to kneel down to salute, muttering "The common people Lu Chen bows to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live our Emperor." , Long live, Long live!" He finished shouting just as he bent down.
"No courtesy!" Li Yuan said "No courtesy" before Lu Chen knelt down.
Lu Chen was not polite and answered directly: "The civilians thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he immediately stood up straight and did not kneel down to Li Yuanxing at all.
Lu Chen's movements were so smooth that they made Li Xiuning and Li Shimin, who were sitting on Li Yuan's left and right hands respectively, curl their lips. However, both of them were trying hard to hold back their laughter, while the civil and military ministers looked at Lu Chen's behavior. His smooth and flowing movements were a bit dumbfounding. I have never seen such a shameless person!
