Chapter 323 Lin Jia has a son to call a child

[I'm sorry that this chapter came too late. There is something to delay. Let's continue to vote! Well, this is an update on January 6th. Today's, I'd like to give it to you separately. That's enough! May the red votes rise!]

After hunting, Li Shimin, decisively slipped into the harem first and asked the hundred riders to hand over the prey to the imperial food supervisor for dinner. And he asked someone to send a message to Qin Mubai, asking him to come to Penglai Hall for dinner before going back.

Qin Mubai was very funny to see Li Shimin hide his head and tail like this. It is not easy to be a king, and it is even more difficult to be a good emperor. Although Li Shimin is an emperor, he is quite afraid of some ministers. That is to say, this hunting is regarded by some ministers as flying eagles, walking dogs, fresh clothes and angry horses. Li Ke was impeached for excessive hunting, and Li Shimin was also criticized by Wei Zheng several times for this matter, and even pointed to his nose and scolded him. Once, Li Shimin got a favorite eagle and was playing with it. It happened that Wei Zheng came to play. What Li Shimin was most afraid of was Wei Zheng's nagging. He suddenly panicked and took the opportunity to hide the eagle in his arms. Wei Zhengming's eyes were not good, but this time he looked kindly. However, he said a little thing endlessly like an aunt. As a result, the eagle died in Li Shimin's arms.

At that time, Qin Mubai was a hundred riders. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, it was clear.

From this point of view, Li Shimin, the emperor, is still a little "conwardly". But perhaps it is because of these cowardice that they have achieved a great career and the prosperity of chastity.

Leaving aside the identity of the emperor, Qin Mubai has always felt that Li Shimin is actually a very "interesting" man. He has talent, taste, mind and a sense of humor. At the same time, he is emotional and has a sense of justice. It is true that his shortcomings and bad deeds are as distinct as his advantages, but there is no saint in the absolute sense in the world. The advantages and disadvantages coexist. On the contrary, it makes people feel that Li Shimin, a very "great and upright" emperor in history, is actually a very real man with flesh and blood.

When Qin Mubai came to Penglai Hall, he saw two bright figures waiting for him at the door of the hall from afar. It's none other than Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang. Hearing that Qin Mubai was going to have a shared dinner, the two little princes were so excited that they went out to welcome them to the door of the hall.

Qin Mubai quickly stepped forward to salute, and was shocked to see Li Zhi. This time, about a year away, Li Zhi is obviously half a size. There is a circle of fluff on his mouth, and his voice has also changed a little. Like a duck, he has grown taller and fatter.

Li Mingda is also seven or eight years old. He has grown up a lot, with an innocent and bright smile, just like a small white lotus blooming in the clear pool, spotless. She grinned and showed a pair of small tiger teeth that Li's daughter was accustomed to. A pair of beautiful flowers were pasted on her forehead, wearing a big red brocade jacket. The thick makeup made her a little clumsy, but she had a lovely and interesting, like a fairy driving virgin coming out of the New Year painting.

"Students meet the teacher." Li Zhi obviously grew up, bent down and saluted Qin Mubai as a teacher and student. From a very early moment, Qin Mubai taught Li Zhi and Li Mingda's pipa skills at the order of Li Shimin, and Li Zhi regarded Qin Mubai as his teacher.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite." Qin Mubai returned the gift. A childish and excited voice sounded in my ear--

"Village head, hug!" Li Mingda smiled and stretched out his arms to Qin Mubai and put his toes on tiptoe.

Qin Mubai suddenly laughed happily, bent down and picked up Li Mingda. Li Mingda put his arms around Qin Mubai's neck and kissed him on his face. He wiped his mouth and giggled: "The village head's beard is pierced!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai and Li Zhi laughed together.

Although Li Zhi's talent is even a little dull, he is also very precocious in the palace. He turned around the age of fourteen at the beginning of his year. Many men at this age in Tang Dynasty have married and married. Therefore, Li Zhi now also attaches great importance to his appearance and etiquette. He no longer calls Qin Mubai a "village head", which reflects the demeanor and cultivation that a prince should have.

To be fair, among the children of Li Shimin that Qin Mubai has contacted, Li Zhi is the least temperamental. Prince Li Chengqian, excellent on the outside and fierce on the inside, with unruly behavior and unruly behavior; Li Tai, the king of Wei, has a smiling face, but his talent is really outstanding; Li Ke, the king of Wu, has great ambition and martial arts strategy, affectionate and righteousness to keep a low profile. There is no need to say that Li You, the king of Qi, and the princess Gaoyang beside him. These people have one thing in common, high-profile and extraordinary.

Li Zhi is different. Whether it is Qin Mubai or an ordinary eunuch maid in the palace, he is gentle and polite regardless of the same. Without the prince's arrogance and superiority, he is simply a big boy.

This may be related to the fact that he lost his mother when he was a child and was raised by a eunuch. His personality is relatively vague and a little weak. But on the other hand, he is also the most generous of Li Shimin's children that Qin Mubai has ever seen.

Li Mingda, Qin Mubai now holds her in his arms, fantasizing in his heart: How wish I could give birth to such a girl!

China has a tradition of son preference for girls, but Qin Mubai always feels that daughters are more intimate than sons who know filial piety. Not to mention that her own frost is the heart of her parents. No one in the family likes her and treats her as a baby.

The two little princes greeted Qin Mubai. Obviously, they were very happy and smiled from the bottom of their hearts. Li Mingda nestled on Qin Mubai, fiddling with his thick and short cyan stubble from time to time, or fiddling with his golden crown. Li Zhi was excited to ask him about the local customs and border scenes of Lanzhou.

After talking more than ten sentences, Qin Mubai felt that Li Zhi had really changed. The dull childish boy in the past is indeed half a man now. He was concerned about current politics and border gates, and was interested in military troops and weapons and horses. He was a little excited to hear the story of marching and fighting.

The smell of male hormones is quite obvious in his half-cooked body.

When he walked to the inner palace, Li Shimin just changed into a loose and casual clothes and made tea in the palace. Qin Mubai put down Li Mingda and came forward to salute. Li Shimin said with a smile, "Don't be polite. It's just a family banquet - Yanzi, come on, let me hug my father!"

"Father--" Li Mingda trotted into Li Shimin's arms, giggled and blushed plainly.

"Oh, my son has gained weight again, and I can't afford to hold it!" Li Shimin laughed comfortably. He kissed Li Mingda's face several times, and his beard scratched her and giggled.

"Well, that's great. Yanzi, in the future, you will also practice more Taijiquan with your ninth brother to strengthen your body!" Li Shimin pinched Li Mingda's little face and said lovingly, "In the past two years, I have been in much better health, and I seldom take medicine!"

"Yes, Father." Li Zhi took over and said, "Huaer has practiced Taijiquan for two years, and he also feels much stronger. If you have time, you might as well practice. Huang Er heard that Yi Guo Gong just practiced Taijiquan before he recuperated a sick body and bone. Now he can gallop on the battlefield again!"

"Ha ha, good!" Li Shimin nodded with interest and laughed. He turned to Qin Mubai and said, "Mubai, thank you very much."

"Why should Your Majesty thank you for everything?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Actually, a good mood is the best medicine. Most of my father's illness comes from the heart. Rheumatoid bone disease is just a small head.

"That's right." Li Shimin nodded with deep approval. He put down Li Mingda and put his hand on the stove to roast it. He rubbed his hands and said, "The way to maintain health is from the inside out. The medicine stone needle can only be supplemented. The set of Taijiquan you created is really good. I will practice when I have time. Not only to strengthen the body, but also to calm down and cultivate oneself.

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing: I'm sorry, old Comrade Zhang Sanfeng, I didn't mean to...

The four people sat around the stove, waiting for the imperial food supervisor to take care of the prey and bring it to dinner. After a while, someone came to the palace. It was Princess Gaoyang's mother and daughter!

This is the first time that Yin Defei and Princess Gaoyang appeared in Penglai Hall together.

Yin Defei is still so elegant and noble that people dare not look directly. Her frost-white hair adds a mysterious and different demeanor. Qin Mubai saw Princess Gaoyang walking beside her and found that she was simply a young version of Yin Defei. For the first time, he found that she was so similar to her mother!

Maybe Princess Gaoyang, who has experienced personnel, has really grown up and began to exude the smell of women from her bones.

"Come here and sit down." Li Shimin didn't say much, but the smile on his face was quite gentle. He greeted Yin Defei's mother and daughter to sit down and say, "Let's have a family dinner today. This banquet is unusual. I made it myself.

Yin Defei smiled and said, "Has Your Majesty gone hunting again?"

"Oh, you are so boring that you can say it in one word." Li Shimin patted his knee and said angrily, "Why do you have to let Linger and Yanzi guess first!"

"Hey..." There was a contemptuous voice in the hall. Li Zhi was stunned and blurted out, "Father, you have just said several times how magical you are in archery. When I just entered the palace, I was also wearing a martial arts suit. Can the emperor not know that you are going hunting today?

"Haha!" The whole room burst into laughter.

Li Shimin suddenly felt very shameless. He deliberately pointed his face at Li Zhi and shouted, "You talk a lot!"

Li Zhi's expression was stagnant, very confused, grinning, and his expression seemed to have cast a big mistake.

"Child slave, you stupid boy, why are you so dull?" Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If you are half smart, I should be relieved."

"Oh..." Li Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, looked at Princess Gao Yang blankly, blinking and didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Mubai's heart was bright, and he secretly said: Li Shimin just said something inadvertently, as if he had broken a glimmer of secret. Don't worry? What's wrong with him about Li Zhi? What made him leave the 14-year-old Li Zhi in the harem? ......

Qin Mubai naturally thought of Changsun Wuji. This uncle of the current dynasty, the first minister of Zhenguan, and the only powerful minister, Qin Mubai did not have much contact with him. Previously, there had been contact once or twice because of the conflict with Changsun. At that time, Changsun Wuji gave Qin Mubai the feeling that this man was very kind, elegant and kind, very cultivated and knowledgeable. But at the same time, there is also a city, which seems to be unfathomable. With Qin Mubai's eyesight and insight at that time, he could only see a layer of his coat.

But in history, didn't he try his best to assist Li Zhi's accession to the throne? Li Shimin was orphaned by him when he died, so he became a first-class powerful minister when Li Zhiyi.

Although there are different comments on him in history, they do not deny that Changsun Wuji is a person with a strong desire for power. Moreover, he did do such a thing as "the invasion of power against the government and the power of the field", and was finally cleaned up by Gao Zong Li Zhi and the empress Wu Yu together.

Now is the time to fight for the throne. Changsun Wuji, the first minister of the current dynasty, seems to be not exposed. He neither clearly stood on the side of the prince nor on the side of the king of Wei. These two, like Li Zhi, were born to Empress Changsun and the nephews of Changsun Wuji. However, it is an open fact that the prince's failure made the emperor not like it. Now, except for Fang Xuanling, who was entrusted by the queen's last words to protect him, "smart people" such as Changsun Wuji have been far away from him. As for the king of Wei, this prince who is good at writing and skill has never been pleasing to his own uncle, and the two are not right with each other. Eye, this is almost well known. Li Tai likes to attract some "official second generation" or young officials and literati as party members, and he is not very interested in his father's generation. Changsun Wuji seems to be intimate with his "disrespectful" nephew.

Therefore, a strange situation appeared in the court: the prince and the king of Wei competed for connections, but it seemed that they only paid attention to some subtle characters and ignored Changsun Wuji, the first giant of the dynasty.

This is really a lethal cold humor.

After thinking about it, Qin Mubai concluded that it must be the eldest grandson Wuji who took the initiative to ask Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to leave the palace and open the house as soon as possible. Hearing Li Shimin's words just now, he seemed to be worried that Li Zhi would go out of the palace to open the house. The root cause was precisely because of Changsun Wuji.

Maybe Li Shimin wanted to protect Li Zhi from leaving the storm of the throne, or maybe he didn't want Li Zhi to leave his palm after leaving the palace and was played with by Changsun Wuji, thus affecting the establishment of the reserve, the pattern of the imperial court and the trend of the future Tang Dynasty. Because Li Zhi is also the direct son. Although he is young, he also has the capital to participate in the fight. An important reason is the bloodline.

At this moment, Li Shimin's thoughts must be complicated. First of all, Changsun Wuji is his eldest brother-in-law. He has worked hard for many years. He has always been loyal to him and very good, and he is most worthy of his trust and is quite important. Secondly, no king will be willing to decide on the court and the direction of the dynasty and not on himself. Changsun Wuji's influence is becoming more and more huge. In the matter of competing for the throne, there is no doubt that the balance of the power will naturally fall on which side he stands.

Qin Mubai guessed that in fact, with Li Shimin's shrewdness and long-term vision, coupled with a pragmatic style, he should be very clear about the fact that the choice of a successor, the bloodline and the direct concubine are just a piece of coat, and the big scholar and the little scholar like to compete for such things after tea and dinner. Red ears, but how much can this really do for a dynasty and a famous clan? The real decisive role played by the future of the opposing reserve and the dynasty depends on who and which forces stand behind the prince. This is the decisive factor for Li Shimin to decide whether the dynasty will last for a long time and whether the Li family's imperial business will continue to flourish a hundred years later, not the dozens of pounds of blood flowing in the blood vessels.

If it was really proposed by Changsun Wuji to let Li Zhi out of the palace, Li Shimin has to raise his spirit of 120,000 points: Can't the child slave get rid of being involved in the struggle for the direct reserve after all? What is the intention of Changsun Wuji?

......

Qin Mubai thought a lot, but he didn't know whether his imagination was based and whether it was true. These things may have been deeply buried in Li Shimin's heart and will never be told to others. It's just that he occasionally inadvertently reveals a scale of claws, which attracts people's speculation and leisure.

In a word, the current Zhenguan Dynasty is not as quiet and peaceful as imagined. The competition for the throne became more and more fierce, just like laying a time bomb for this dynasty. Sooner or later, the bomb will be detonated, the lethality will be brought, and Li Shimin will be executed to deal with this matter.

Li Shimin is indeed sad and distressed. He is now a bomb collector. Facing countless leads, he doesn't know which one to cut. A slight mistake may be a devastating disaster. His decades of hard work may be destroyed. In the prosperous era of chastity, it is very likely that it will be a flower.

......

After a meal, Qin Mubai was not at ease and kept thinking about these things in his mind. After returning from Lanzhou, he felt that the breath of Chang'an had changed a little, and there was also a smell of wind, cranes, grass and trees on the court. He thought that this might be the reason why Li Shimin gave him a half-year holiday and asked him to take Princess Gaoyang and her family to travel. He didn't want them to stay in Chang'an and be involved in these disturbances. And the fact doesn't seem to be as smooth as Li Shimin expected. As soon as Qin Mubai almost settled in Chang'an, the prince and the king of Wei sent a request to come to the door.

Obviously, these two people are now trying their best. Even if it is a dog's tail grass, they won't let it go as long as they can. It can be seen that the fierce competition is fierce.

The craftsmanship of the imperial food supervisor is naturally impeccable, and the wild animals in the mountains brought by hand are also unique. After dinner, Qin Mubai accompanied Li Shimin, Yin Defei and others, and took Princess Gaoyang, Zhinu and Yanzi to play Cuju in the back garden for a while, which was quite fun.

It can be seen that Li Shimin has not been as relaxed and happy as today.

When night fell, Qin Mubai was "let go", but he was caught by Princess Gaoyang and did not let go. Qin Mubai secretly complained to himself and said to himself: My two poor brothers were stood up by me, and now they may be scolded together!

So he hurried to the Hongwen Museum. The doorman said that Qin Bin left a message, saying that the palace gate was going to be closed. He and his eldest brother went to the Qin Mansion first, and waited for Qin Mubai to come back for a dinner party.

Qin Mubai was anxious to burn his buttocks and hurried home. Princess Gaoyang was not willing to let go. She followed me out of the palace and threatened, "Don't want to get rid of me anymore. You can run away and be happy secretly! - Haha, I just had a banquet in the palace and went to your house for a family banquet. I'm going to be fat soon!"
