The eldest son of the extra chapter (for the alliance advocates Wuji 000000000
December 22, the seventeenth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Beijing, Miyagi.
"Just now, His Majesty asked me, 'Can the harem be divided into north and south?' Because we played dominoes with Qiaoer and Wenwan yesterday, but we didn't take them with us. But with Zhao Jin's tile skills, who would be willing to play with her? How about directly?
Just give her money."
When Zhang Wenjing said this, she couldn't help but smile, picked up the pounded beauty cream, smelled it, and handed it to Gao Mingyue to smell.
"Are you adding some mother-in-law powder? The division between the north and the south took hundreds of years, how can it be healed so quickly? Your Majesty is also anxious." Gao Mingyue said: "I came here today but there was another incident. Da Lang and Er Lang will not be here for another half month.
Then he came back from Mobei."
"We can't make it in time for the New Year's Day, but it would be nice to come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival... It's done. Can you apply it now?"
"Well, let's talk about it after applying it. There is a matter that Chang Yi doesn't know how to deal with, so he might as well report it directly to His Majesty."
"The prince has a good temper. He can do everything himself without resorting to other people's hands, and he is willing to consult others for opinions on difficult matters. Unlike the others, who are both clumsy and ignorant."
"Don't blame him for complaining..."
After Gao Mingyue told the whole story, Zhang Wenjing was silent for a moment and said: "What I said, the prince stayed for three years, and he only stayed for half a year before coming back. He thought he couldn't stay any longer and returned with his elder brother.
It turns out that he got this goddam virtue."
She had beauty cream on her face, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but judging by her tone, she was very unhappy.
Gao Mingyue patted her hand gently and said, "We'll talk about it when the children are back."
"The Princess Turandot has also been escorted back?"
"Yes, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he destroyed the Eastern Turks and imprisoned Jieli Khan in Chang'an to dance. The son of the Khan of the Western Turks was attached, so Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty married the eldest princess of Hengyang to him and pacified Qiuci. Your Majesty is now imprisoned in Chang'an.
I have Bao Zhongbang, but I still have one Ashina Sheer missing, so let’s take him back and take a look.”
Gao Mingyue said this, and then said: "But I heard that this little girl is unruly and rebellious, so she cannot be your Majesty's Ashina Sheer. Erlang must have been very angry with her."
Zhang Wenjing was not restrained at Gao Mingyue's place. She pulled the blanket over her to avoid catching a cold. She thought for a while and asked, "Can I see her?"
"It's better not to see her. She is very dangerous."
"I've been so pampered all these years that I'm afraid of even basking in the sun. No wonder you look down on me." Zhang Wenjing lightly tapped the beauty cream in the corner of her eye with her finger and said, "But I'm not afraid of a little girl."
Gao Mingyue said: "There is something about her, but it's not sure yet. We will have to wait for another two months to find out..."
~~
It was the ninth day of the first lunar month in the eighteenth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Zhang Wenjing watched her son enter the palace and put down the little girl in his arms.
"Be good, Yan Niang will take you to play with your sisters."
"Mom, my second brother is back." The little girl said with a milky voice.
"Sister Thirteen, come here, my second brother has a gift for you."
Zhang Wenjing, however, made a look and asked Yan'er to take her little daughter away.
Li Changjing took out an agate jewelry from his sleeve and said, "Mom, I'll give it to Xiao San..."
"There's no need to give it. Who knows where you grabbed the bloody items?" Zhang Wenjing said calmly, "so as not to dirty the hands of Thirteenth Sister."
When Li Changjing heard this, he knelt down in the hall without saying a word.
"Brother has wronged me. Whether I have violated military law or not will be known after interrogating those prisoners. All of them have seen Hu Tulun and the child have been cured long ago... How should I put it? When my father went to Bozhou, he robbed my mother.
relative……"
"Don't compare your dirty deeds to those of me and your father."
Zhang Wenjing scolded her son's sophistry, picked up the ruler without mercy, and gave it a serious thumbs up.
"Snapped."
Li Changjing gritted his teeth in pain.
"In short, my child had no need and no intention to violate military law at that time. It was my eldest brother who wronged me."
"You think you're smart, don't you?" Zhang Wenjing asked: "Do you think you can deceive your elder brother? Or can you deceive your father?"
"As long as I can deceive those subordinates, they won't complain about me."
"Snapped."
The ruler was laid down again.
"You are still thinking that you are smart, and while you are telling your ministers that you want to seize the throne, you are embarrassing the prince, and you come up with such stupid words to trick ghosts. Are you thinking that your father, Huang Laohu, and I are in trouble?"
"I know I was wrong...but it was my father who allowed me to fight for the throne."
"Snapped."
Zhang Wenjing slapped her son on the back again with a ruler and scolded: "Your father will tell you some things. From now on, you should avoid associating with the brothers of the Zhang family, as they may lead to bad habits."
"Yes, the child will not get into bad habits."
Zhang Wenjing said: "I plan to advise your father and let you marry Hu Tulun..."
"What?" Li Changjing suddenly raised his head and said, "I don't want the baby! Is my mother crazy? That she-wolf killed so many of my colleagues in Mobei. If I marry her, bah, I didn't kill her and I was already doing her a disservice.
enough……"
"I don't care whether you kill her or not. You serve in the army to guard the border, and killing the enemy is your duty." Zhang Wenjing scolded: "But which military law tells you that you can humiliate female prisoners? This is to let you go to the army. What are you doing?
Are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty a good leader?"
"She was the one who touched the child first. No one knows whether they can survive to the next day on the grassland. It is a barbaric place. To deal with barbarians, the child can only be more barbaric than her..."
"As long as you are still my son, I have to tell you a truth. If you dare to do it, you will have to bear the consequences no matter what."
Li Changjing was very arrogant when he was in Mobei, and he was not afraid of anything. Now he was kneeling in this hall, looking at the ruler in his mother's hand, but there was nothing he could do...
~~
It's night, Zhang Honglue's study.
"Is this your concubine's intention or your Majesty's intention?"
"If my mother has such a ridiculous idea, my father will probably agree to it."
"In the past two or three years, Hu Tulun has been causing chaos in Mobei. Your Majesty can allow Erlang to marry such an enemy?"
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]
"I thought it was ridiculous at first, but the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I came to look for my sixth uncle." Li Changjing said: "As long as Tulun expressed his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and was willing to help the Tang Dynasty destroy the Golden Horde, he would even
It is the Yin'er Khanate. Compared with that vast territory, her crimes will be pardoned by the father."
Zhang Hong nodded slightly and began to ponder.
Hu Tulun can still be called "the only golden family that resists the Tang Dynasty" in Mobei, but in fact it is just a small fight, used by the court to train troops.
In comparison, the Golden Horde and the Yin'er Khanate were the most powerful enemies that could compete with the Tang Dynasty.
"Erlang, has this Princess Turandot inherited the prestige of Haidu?"
"Uncle Six?"
Li Changjing shook his head with a wry smile and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Honglue.
"Uncle Six, there is no need to think about this. She is just a dangerous she-wolf. I will never marry her."
"If Erlang marries her, he can destroy the Golden Horde, and then..."
"I won't be able to come back from now on. Let's stay in the Western Frontier for generations."
Zhang Honglue said in a low voice: "It's not a bad idea. This must be what the imperial concubine meant."
Li Changjing was stunned for a moment.
This was not something his sixth uncle could say.
He raised his tea cup and sipped it, and looked around. He hadn't seen him for a year, but when he met again today, he saw Zhang Honglue with a sick face and a head full of white hair.
He suddenly understood something.
Seizing the direct descendant is an expectation for Zhang Honglue.
Watching my nephew grow up little by little and becoming more and more capable in both civil and military affairs, I look forward to the day when he will rule the world.
This expectation alone made Zhang Honglue have a high morale for more than ten years, working hard for the Tang Dynasty in order to make progress; it was also because of this expectation that the Zhang family, and even the former northern princes, worked hard and restrained their children, for fear of ruining the second prince.
's future.
But now, Zhang Honglue's life is almost over, and the emperor is in his prime and full of majesty.
Li Changjing can understand these.
He raised his head and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. His mouth was filled with bitterness, and then he felt sweet again.
"I understand what uncle Liu said, but if I don't marry Hutulun, I would rather not fight for the throne than I will marry her."
"Why?"
"I never compromise if I don't like it."
"Then why would Erlang bother to provoke her?"
"Am I provoking her?" Li Changjing shook his head and said to himself: "I really can't live in this capital."
Zhang Hongluo said: "If you think about it carefully, the concubine's arrangement is for Erlang's benefit."
"Sixth uncle, even in the Western Expedition, I can rely on my own ability. There is no need to say more about this matter." Li Changjing said: "I am afraid that my mother will persuade my father. Could you, my sixth uncle, help me persuade my father?"
?”
"If anyone among the courtiers can persuade His Majesty, I'm afraid it's not me."
"Mr. Lu? Gong Lu also knows the details of what happened in Mobei."
Hong Hong nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid Lu Junshi won't speak for Erlang."
"Yes, Mr. Lu doesn't like my arrogance and thinks I should be taught a lesson." Li Changjing thought for a long time and sighed: "I will go to the Lu Mansion to visit you tomorrow."
With that said, he stood up and said another sentence.
"I will let him know that people change when they grow up. I have matured a lot."
Zhang Honglue smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Erlang is leaving now? Your twelfth uncle has given you a gift, can you take it with him?"
"A gift from Uncle Twelve?"
Li Changjing turned around, hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Forget it, I can't afford to have my mother blame me again."
~~
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month, East Palace.
"Your Highness, Your Highness is here."
Li Changyi raised his head from between the eucalyptus tablets and said, "Let him come over."
After a while, Li Changjing and Shi Ranran walked in and walked directly behind Li Changyi to watch him handle the paperwork.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, I want to have a meal with my eldest brother."
Li Changyi didn't even raise his head and said: "I rarely had some free time during the Lantern Festival yesterday. You have to come today."
"I went to see the lanterns with someone yesterday, and I have free time today." Li Changjing couldn't help but smile, his eyes looking a little different, "Have you seen it? This year's one is particularly good."
"It's the same every year, why would you think of inviting me today?"
"It may not be me who invites you. It's the same as if my eldest brother invites me to eat." Li Changjing said, "Lu Gong said that as long as eldest brother tells him, he will persuade my father not to let me marry Hu Tulun."
"If I had known today, why bother in the beginning?"
"She was the one who provoked me first. I had beaten her to death a long time ago. But when she was captured by me, she still used words to provoke me, saying that I was the pretty boy she raised. Can I bear it? She...
…”
A "Peng" sound.
Li Changyi was displeased and slapped the table and shouted: "Wash your mouth before you come back."
"Isn't that what everyone in the military talks like?"
"I have been in the army for three years and I have never seen anyone swearing more profusely than you."
"If you don't go into battle, you won't be with the pawns." Li Changjing said, "Anyway, I can't lose to her."
Li Changyi asked: "Why can't you lose?"
"I've never lost."
"Childish." Li Changyi murmured in a low voice and continued to process the official documents, saying: "When the political hall comes to collect these...what do you want to eat later?"
“Bao’s Restaurant’s hot pot and meat-shabu-shabu is one of the best in Beijing.”
Li Changyi asked: "Which Bao's Restaurant?"
"Oh, you haven't been in the capital for more than three years, so you don't know anything." Li Changjing said: "About three years ago, someone claimed to be a descendant of Bao Zhongbang and said that the beef and mutton slices were created by his family, specializing in hot pot, and the business was very good.
good."
"Really?"
"It's fake, but maybe they are related? She looks ugly and hanky, so I don't know if it's true. One of Bao Zhongbang's grandsons complained to Bao Shuyi that it was an impersonation, but Bao Shuyi ignored it."
"tasty?"
"That store's chili oil is so unique that even my father went there in disguise to try it twice..."
After Li Changjing returned to the capital, when facing his elders and brothers, his aura was different from when he was in the army, and he talked a lot more.
As for Li Changyi, after only three small glasses of wine, his cheeks turned slightly red, his sense of majesty disappeared, and he began to speak more and more.
"Let me tell you, if I really killed your head that day, my father wouldn't blame me. Don't really think that I was afraid of your little tricks and just too lazy to tangle with you. When I was a kid, the world was uncertain and the elders were busy. You kids
Of course, who didn’t I bring up with you?”
"ha?"
Li Changjing's ability to drink was so good that he drank a bottle in a blink of an eye and was not drunk at all.
"The most annoying thing I say is, 'The prince brought up all the brothers.' How old are we? It's me and you who brought up those little ones together, okay? But you are more mature. You are the prince, so you can't do anything.
It's you who are amazing."
Li Changyi smiled and shook his head and said: "Since you were a child, I have cleaned up a lot of messes for you. In the Battle of Helan Mountain that year, you secretly escaped from Chang'an City and encountered thieves. Who found it for you?"
"If it weren't for you, I would have killed my first enemy that year."
"There is one more thing." Li Changyi said: "Actually, I have always believed what you said. It has been six months since you violated military law, and suddenly Tulun's belly is eight months old..."
"What did you say?!" Li Changjing was shocked.
Li Changyi smiled and said: "I'm not sure it's yours yet, are you?"
"I do...mother! She plotted against me."
Li Changjing didn't speak for a long time. He just poured wine on himself until finally he rubbed his face vigorously.
"A few days ago, I met a young lady... I took her to see the lanterns... I didn't want to touch Hu Tulun in the first place. I was just afraid that I wouldn't be able to suppress her fierceness. Brother, do you understand? She
It's the she-wolf on the grassland. I tried my best to hold her down...but she is different..."
"Crying?" Li Changyi laughed, looking a little gentle, and murmured in a low voice: "What does this mean? Fighting for the throne is a thousand times more cruel than this. You are really too weak."
"I know cruelty. Now I can still control it and restrain those people. I am also afraid of the future..."
Li Changyi raised his hand and shook it, saying: "There are some things that my father wanted to tell you after you came back from the army, but today, I am here to tell you."
"good."
"I never felt threatened by you."
"You have insulted me."
"It has nothing to do with whether you are outstanding or not." Li Changyi said: "My father has never thought about passing the throne to any son other than his eldest son. What he wants is for the country to transition steadily and survive the most rapid development decades.
...Don't be anxious, I know what you want to say, you want to say that Father allows you to fight. He has never punished you for fighting for the throne."
Li Changjing raised his head proudly.
Li Changyi said: "I am born in sorrow and die in happiness. My father does not want me to be happy, so I have always allowed you to do this. I have only figured this out in the past two years."
After saying this, he stood up, shook his head to wake up, and finally patted Li Changjing on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your encouragement over the years."
Li Changjing was confused for a moment, feeling like he was drunk, and asked: "You want to lie to me?"
"Maybe." Li Changyi said: "To be honest, I care about the friendship between brothers. Otherwise, who can I trust to protect the vassal country?"
~~
The next day, when he woke up with a hangover, Li Changyi rubbed his forehead and couldn't remember what he had said to Li Erlang yesterday.
"How many drinks has your Highness had?" Liu Yao asked, "After I came back last night, I was even more drunk."
Li Changyi raised his hand and made a "three" sign.
"So much?"
Liu Yao pretended to be surprised and said: "How could Your Highness drink so much for three cups?"
Li Changyi smiled self-deprecatingly, took Liu Yao's hand, and asked: "Last night Erlang said that I was mature. Am I really mature since I was a child?"
"No way." Liu Yao said: "Your Highness, don't you remember that when the Mongolian army came to Tongguan, my father stayed in Chang'an, and Your Highness cut off his beard while he was sleeping?"
"Is there any?" Li Changyi said: "They don't seem to realize that I did it?"
"Didn't I take it over for you?" Liu Yao rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile: "But, although you are a little naughty, compared to your brothers, you are still the most sensible. Get up, Father Emperor Zhao
You discussed the matter, it seems that the matter is not small, Uluru is planning to move the Khan Court to Zhaisang Lake."
"Then Liulang is even further away." Li Changyi murmured.
On this day, when he left the East Palace, when the wind blew, he suddenly remembered what he had said to Erlang last night.
But I guess Erlang didn’t let it go just because he said it, just take your time...
~~
It was the end of July in the twenty-first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Outside Peking City, there is the main camp of the Western Army.
Li Changjing, dressed in military uniform, strode to catch up with Li Changyi.
"Brother, let me say it again, I will not accept Hu Tulun as the side princess. I will never let Su'er live under the same roof with that kind of she-wolf."
"When did I say that I wanted you to accept her? And when did she say that she wanted to come through your door?"
"She said it." Li Changjing said: "She threatened me in private. You don't believe me..."
"I didn't hear it." Li Changyi kept walking and said, "I only know that her son looks exactly like you. I already regret saying good things to the teacher for you, look at the mess you left behind.
"
"It was you who didn't let me kill her at Lake Baikal."
"It's me. I deliberately ruined your qualification to fight for the throne. Is this okay?" Li Changyi finally turned around and said, "I know that Hu Tulun is not an ordinary woman. She is ruthless, she is willing to take risks, and she is cunning.
Foxes and ferocious wolves. Are you arrogant? Do you think you can handle all the women in the world with just a smile? Well, even if there is one woman you cannot handle, that is Hu Tulun. If you go to provoke her, you should."
Li Changjing said: "We can destroy the Golden Horde without her."
"Yes, but do you know how many soldiers can be saved with her here?" Li Changyi patted his face and said: "You are leaving the capital soon. Wake up, you are not the father, and your experience is far from enough. Don't
Keep showing off. Every time you see Hu Tulun in the future, please be more alert and don't make mistakes and act childish again. This is the only good thing about the whole thing, Erlang."
"I know."
Li Changyi sighed, hugged Li Changjing vigorously, and said, "Be nice to Sister Lu San. She has put up with all your troubles and is willing to accompany you to the northwest."
"I can."
"You are now a man who has a family and a career. Don't be as ignorant as before."
"good."
"Destroy the Golden Horde and don't disgrace your surname."
"good."
Li Changyi finally patted Li Changjing's back and said: "Let's go..."
~~
The twenty-ninth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Hey, wine is served today. Why is Your Highness so happy?"
"You and I are having a drink today." Li Changyi stretched out his hand and took Liu Yao's hand, saying: "Suddenly there was a message from outside the sword to collect Jibei. When I first heard it, my clothes were filled with tears... I thought that people of our generation would not be able to feel this kind of thing.
I’m happy, but today I received Erlang’s battle report.”
"Defeated the Golden Horde?"
"This battle is not easy." Li Changyi took a shallow sip, put down the glass, and said: "The battlefield is thousands of miles away, and the court spends countless money and food every year on relocating people, opening up wasteland, and raising horses... In the end, it defeated the Golden Horde with its national power.
Khanate."
With a smile in her eyes, Liu Miao stared at her husband's lips, watching him sip the wine in small sips, and every time she raised her head and downed a large glass.
Even so, after Li Changyi drank five cups and was almost drunk, Liu Yao was still not drunk at all.
Her father and mother are both people who can drink a thousand cups.
Li Changyi murmured: "Erlang was not sensible at first, but after these years of experience, he finally grew up."
"Then where is your Highness's experience?"
"I am the eldest son. It was my experience to take care of my younger brothers and sisters when I was young."
The smile in Liu Yao's eyes grew stronger, and she reached out to touch Li Changyi's head and said, "Obviously I am accompanying you to take care of those little ones."
Li Changyi was already drunk, and fell down, leaning on Liu Yao's arms.
"Sister Jiao'er."
"Um?"
"My difficulty has never been Erlang...it has been the expectations of the courtiers...the difficulty of becoming a prince lies in these expectations."
"Then, what did the father say?"
"My father said, 'You have to give them something to look forward to, otherwise, how can they tolerate me as a tyrant'... He also said that he would pave the way for me in ten years to ensure a stable transition... But I actually don't want him to grow old...
…”
Liu Yao put her arm around Liu's shoulder, picked up the jug with the other, drank the last bit of wine, and said, "My father said, why are there so many worries? No matter how much trouble there is, it will always be solved."
"Well, luckily it's you."
"Chang Yi."
"Um?"
"you are the best."
~~
In the thirty-ninth year of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the main hall of the palace city.
"Let's see."
Li Changyi stepped forward and looked a little surprised after receiving several edicts.
"This is my edict to your brothers. Let them know in advance that I will pass it on to you next year."
"But... I'm not ready yet."
"I just know that you are not ready, so I asked you to prepare." Li Xia said slowly: "Otherwise, if you wait until I am gone and take over, will you be able to control it?"
Li Changyi only felt confused.
"In this era, the foundation for industrial take-off has gradually been established. The future will see major changes that have not been seen in thousands of years. Even I don't know what kind of changes there will be... In short, do it with confidence and boldness, I will be yours
Backing. In addition, I also have some matters of mine."
"My son... I obey the order."
"Write letters to your brothers and tell them your strategy for governing the country."
Li Changyi bowed and walked out of the hall holding the edict.
He is tall and tall, but he still looks very small when walking in this palace.
Looking at the world, the territory of this country is already too large. No one in the world has experience in managing such a vast territory, so we can only explore slowly.
