Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

His heart was like a cat's paw scratching all night. After Li Xie woke up the next day, he was still in good spirits. He continued his morning exercises, and after eating the breakfast served by the maid, he planned to go to court.

The morning dynasty ended earlier today, but Li Xie had no time to spare. He was captured by Li Yuan as a young man, but he was actually not considered a strong man. As the crown prince, he was the emperor's first assistant, and he should help the emperor with his official duties.

However, Li Yuan knew that his son didn't seem to like taking matters into his own hands. Of course, if the matter was entrusted to him, he would handle it very well, but most of the self in the memorandum was not his, but was written by his subordinates according to his wishes. , In the end, he stamped a seal again.

"These are ministers, boss, let's see, how should they reward them?" Li Yuan was not polite to his son, and directly pushed a large white paper in front of his son.

Li Xie saluted, took it over, and said, "Okay, Dad, can I have breakfast?" This meeting is about nine o'clock in the morning, from six o'clock to nine o'clock in the morning, and the three-hour court meeting is not counted. It's long, it's already very short, unlike before it basically lasted until noon or a little later at noon.

He looked at the names on the white paper, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at Li Yuan, and the person standing behind Li Yuan was his servant Jiang Lianggong, who shook his head violently behind him.

"My son is hungry, waiter Jiang Nei, pass on the meal." The first sentence was addressed to Li Yuan, and the latter sentence was directed to Jiang Lianggong.

Jiang Lianggong immediately bowed his head and agreed, and then stepped out of the door of the imperial study with small broken steps. Li Yuan was annoyed and amused. There was no one around him who didn't listen to the boss. Li Yuan also thought it was amazing, but his son's care was very helpful. In desperation, he turned a blind eye to what his son had done.

"I basically have no opinion on what father listed, but Liu Wenjing is impetuous and can act arrogantly based on his merits. Father would treat him coldly and temper his temper, but it is useful."

According to the history that Li Xie knew, Li Yuan's attack on Chang'an was basically the main contribution of Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, and Pei Ji, but Li Xie didn't believe that Li Jiancheng, the eldest son, would have no credit for it. When Li Shimin later tampered with the history books, he thought that he should erase all the achievements of Li Jiancheng.

Liu Wenjing is talented, but this girl doesn't know why she and Pei Ji are at odds, and now there are signs of discord, if the two continue to confront each other like this, Liu Wenjing may still die.

"Also, father, you are the emperor now, you have to have your own ideas, don't listen to other people's opinions." Liu Wenjing died quite unjustly because Li Yuan was bewitched by Pei Ji. relationship, so they listen to one side and believe one another.

Li Yuan looked a little embarrassed, and snorted: "You mean that Pei Ji has already started to eliminate dissidents?"

"Father, don't be blinded by past friendships. Pei Ji is indeed more knowledgeable and talented than Liu Wenjing, but everyone has selfishness. As an emperor, you have to consider the people of the world. You are not too old now, so don't make mistakes. Old fool, before I go out, I will leave some people for you, and they will send you the latest information in time."

Li Xie left some of his intelligence department to Li Yuan, so that he would not go abroad. Li Yuan was in Chang'an, and was bewitched by these so-called humerus ministers.

He didn't deny the talents of these ministers, but it's still an old saying, people have selfishness, they grow up in different environments, and the three views are different. If they collide together, if there is no one to mediate, it will be a catastrophe.

Li Yuan was so kind to Pei Ji, Pei Ji was the first one to award meritorious ministers, compared with Dou Wenshu and Dou Zhaoxian.

"You people... are you not good?" Li Yuan hesitated for a moment before he said, what his son and his people did, he naturally knew, if he, the emperor, used spies, wouldn't the civil and military people in the court panic?

Li Xie gave him a white look: "These people are left for you to pass on the news. If you want to convict a person, it can't just be an official conclusion. You have to know more. Officials are also human beings. Some officials may not be able to use their power for personal gain. "

He raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Actually, to put it bluntly, my son just wants to say that if Pei Ji speaks ill of Liu Wenjing in front of you, you should at least have multiple channels to find out what kind of thing Liu Wenjing has done. For things that should be punished, they will naturally be punished, but crimes that are fabricated out of thin air and unwarranted cannot be charged."

In history, Liu Wenjing died unjustly.

Li Yuan was embarrassed by his son's words, and raised his hands uncomfortably: "Okay, okay, I understand."

After talking like this, the servant Jiang Nei had already brought four palace servants with trays, Li Xie stopped talking and said, "Dinner first."

Li Yuan also felt hungry, and then he heard his son who was like a debt collector say: "You are over 50 years old, not as young as me, please don't waste your body in the future, eat less and eat more, I will tell Jiang Nei to wait every day Meals are served every two hours, if you are full and full of energy, you will be more efficient in handling government affairs."

The servant Jiang Nei lowered his head and said respectfully: "This old servant will follow His Highness's orders and will definitely take good care of His Majesty."

Li Yuan snorted, and then picked up the spoon to eat the porridge without saying a word, muttering in his heart, Boss's wordiness is not much worse than Ma'am, Ma'am?Thinking of his wife, Li Yuan sighed in his heart. As the old saying goes, it is better for a husband and wife to stay as their original spouse. After his wife passed away, he only missed her nagging.

After eating, they continued to discuss the rewards of other ministers. Uncles like Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin must be rewarded heavily, as well as Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde and others. Among them, Li Xie saw a name at the end: Li Jing, and he couldn't help being happy Laughed.

Li Jing was captured by Li Yuan when he invaded Chang'an. He seemed to like Li Jing very much, and it seemed that he wanted to entrust Li Jing with a heavy responsibility.

"Father, Li Jing didn't make any meritorious service, so he can't be rewarded. It won't be too late to reward him after he has military exploits in the future." No, he was captured, and if he didn't have meritorious service in the Tang Dynasty, his reputation would be unfair. Other ministers would have objections, but it was only because Lieutenant Yunqi was too young to care too much about it.

Li Yuan wanted to refute, but Li Xie stared back: "If you really appreciate him, you can't hurt him like this."

Then Li Xie sighed: "You are the emperor, you can't do things according to your own preferences, otherwise it will cause a chain reaction and cause the people to change."

Li Yuan moved his mouth, and said a little aggrieved: "I just think he is a general, and I want to use him again, what's wrong?"

"Because he is a general, there is a saying that a parent's love for a son is far-reaching. It is the same reason here. You appreciate him and you must reuse him. That's right, but you can't let the world find fault. , otherwise Li Jing will be slandered by the world, give him a chance, he will naturally take off, and no one will talk about how much reward you give him."

Li Yuan thinks this is the reason, but he is the emperor, and occasionally wants to be willful, but he has never considered Li Jing's situation.

"OK then."

Li Xie put down the rice paper and said: "In the next two days, I will secretly dispatch troops and send Li Jing and the five-way army to conquer Xue Ju Xue Rengao and his son. After half a month, you will issue an edict and send Pei Ji to supervise."

"What's the use of sending Pei Ji again? Pei Ji rushed over, the battle is over." Li Yuan couldn't help but be speechless.

Li Xie said leisurely: "Wars are for generals, Pei Ji doesn't understand, but the army also needs to be supervised by civil servants, wouldn't it be good to send him later to collect military merits?"

After finishing the business, Li Xie wanted to leave to arrange other affairs. Li Yuan stopped him and said, "Da Lang, you can't shirk this time. What do you think about your marriage?"

The position of Crown Princess is a favorite, and Li Yuan has received many candidates who are interested in getting married, but in fact Li Yuan is not satisfied with these candidates, because they are only Chang'an City or the officials' homes who moved to Chang'an with him, without him The Qinghe Cui family and the Rongyang Zheng family that he wanted the most, he was very angry, because he heard that the Rongyang Zheng family seemed to have taken a fancy to Fang Xuanling and wanted to recruit Fang Xuanling as his son-in-law. Xuanling is almost 40 years old, what is he better than his son?But Fang Xuanling said that he had already married a wife and had children in his hometown, and he would never betray his wife, so he rejected Rongyang Zheng's.

Hearing this, Li Xie thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "As long as you look good, it's fine as long as it's not too bad, but you don't want a woman with such a temperament as Er Niangzi. He, I like the kind of jealous woman, so as to show that she loves me very much."

There are only Li Yuan and Jiang Nei servants in the imperial study room, the master and servant almost choked to death, the preference of the boss/His Royal Highness is really different.

"Get out, I won't find you a wife, I'll let you stay single for the rest of your life." Anyway, it's useless to find a wife, the main purpose of finding a wife is to have children...

Li Xie shrugged and left gracefully. Li Yuan didn't have much time to worry about his son's marriage. With a fierce tiger like His Royal Highness Qin chasing after him, he should feel anxious, for fear that His Royal Highness Qin will take away his crown prince position, but His Royal Highness is not. They were kicked to the iron plate, His Royal Highness didn't pay attention to them at all.

Jiang Lianggong still remembers the scene when he was selected as His Majesty's personal servant. There were more than [-] of them. Originally, His Majesty chose another person, but His Royal Highness did not like that person. He chose him. His Majesty may I felt that he was not as good-looking as that person, and I was a little reluctant, but in the end His Majesty still used him.To be honest, he doesn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince chose him alone?

About half an hour later, two young men dressed in black clothes entered the palace with tokens and arrived outside the imperial study room. Jiang Neishi stopped them and asked in a low voice, "Where are the two strong men?"

Among them, the long-faced man cupped his hands and saluted: "Jiangnei servants are polite, and the two subordinates are ordered by His Royal Highness to come to see His Majesty."

Waiter Jiang Nei's eyes lit up: "Wait a minute." Then he stepped on Xiao Sui and walked into the Imperial Study Room to communicate. After a while, Waiter Jiang Nei came out and let the two enter the Imperial Study Room.

Li Yuan glanced at it, and motioned to Jiang Nei with a sideways glance: "Go and watch at the door."

Jiang Nei waiter came to the door of the imperial study from behind Li Yuan. He guessed that His Majesty knew these two people, otherwise His Majesty would not be alone with them. in danger.

Then, Jiang Nei waiter strained his ears and heard His Majesty's voice: "Liang Tao, did the crown prince give you to me?"

Liang Tao and his junior brother Pei Zi were really half-kneeling on the ground. Hearing what Li Yuan said, Pei Zi's heart skipped a beat. Liang Tao said without embarrassment: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate belongs to the Qingyun Pavilion, and the Qingyun Pavilion belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Established, the first master of the subordinates is His Royal Highness, and the subordinates are sent by the master to assist His Majesty."

So it wasn't for you, and Pei Zizhen's heart was dripping with sweat, wouldn't His Majesty chop off the two of them when he got angry?

Li Yuan looked at him calmly, and murmured in his heart, his son Yu Xia has a skill, and he is indeed better than him. This is really the most typical portrayal of the blue coming out of the blue and better than the blue, and he was quite happy in his heart.

"Okay, let's get up." Li Yuan pondered for a while, his son also kindly sent someone to help him, how could he live up to this kind of care?

But he wanted to test Liang Tao, so he asked, "How can you help me?"

Liang Tao said sternly: "What kind of news does Your Majesty want to know? The family members of the ministers in Chang'an City, or what special preferences do the ministers have?"

Li Yuan choked up suddenly, he thought for a while, and said, "Then let the ministers like it."

"Your Majesty, please set up a room for your subordinates in the palace. The room is not far from the imperial study. Your Majesty will put some important documents in the palace for your majesty's convenience."

Li Yuan agreed to Liang Tao's request.

After Li Xie left the palace, he first met Wei Ting, Jia Ting, Liu Donglin and the others, and then asked Xie Chong how much military supplies, food and grass the court had. After understanding these, he went to the Qin/Prince Palace to meet Li Shimin, Let him sort out his own army, and send one army to accompany his pair of troops, the three imperial court troops, to secretly go to Longxi, waiting for the order to attack Xue Ju.

"Brother, I want to go too!" After the founding of Datang, Li Shimin was eager to try in the first battle.

Li Xie shook his head: "Not this time, you have to stay and attend my wedding." Don't go here, no matter whether it was because of his command error that caused Tang Jun to fail, or because of his illness, Liu Wenjing and Yin Qiao rushed forward and made the failure. Anyway, it's all related to him. If he doesn't go, it's best to send experienced generals directly.

Li Shimin opened his eyes wide, and immediately jumped up: "Brother, you finally got the hang of it, which little lady is it?" He thought sourly in his heart, he didn't know about the engagement of his elder brother, and his father and elder brother actually kept it a secret. Look at him, and tell him only after you have selected a candidate.

Li Xie said leisurely: "Father is still in the process of choosing, but there should be a result soon."

"What conditions did you leave for Dad?" Li Shimin swallowed his mouthpiece, and asked the eldest brother to agree to marry a wife. It must be that Dad wants to choose a wife according to the conditions given by the eldest brother. If the conditions are not up to standard, how can the eldest brother agree?

Li Xie looked at him with meaningful eyes, Li Shimin's heart was pounding, and he always felt that the elder brother's next words were not good.

"You really want to know?"

Just as Li Shimin wanted to say that he didn't want to know, he heard the elder brother say again: "I think the second lady is too compliant with you, and her temperament is too submissive, which is not good, so I think I should like a woman who is completely opposite to the second lady. .”

Li Shimin: "..." He stared at his elder brother resentfully, with infinite grief and indignation in his heart, he was shot while lying down, his elder brother must be jealous that he has such a perfect wife as Wuyou.

After Li Xie left, Li Shimin only complained for a while, and immediately summoned his subordinates, which army would he send to the battle against Xue Ju?Who is the general?

At this time, Li Shimin's Qin/Prince Palace already had two advisors who were famous in later generations, one was Fang Xuanling and the other was Du Ruhui, and the others were not as famous as these two.

Fang Xuanling heard the words, and asked: "May I ask Your Highness, who is the general of the army of His Highness the Crown Prince? What are the three armies of His Majesty?"

Du Ruhui was also thinking about it. They had to understand the temperament and talents of these four generals before they could select their generals, so as to complement the other four generals. If the four generals made mistakes for some reason, their generals could To make up for this is to make a great contribution, which will help to enhance the reputation of His Highness King Qin in the court.

Of course, they will never stab their own people in the back. Under this premise, there is absolutely no problem in planning for themselves.

"Brother's army is Junrong's Tiger Roaring Army. The court's three-way army is not clear, but it will definitely be selected tonight." Li Shimin held his chin and thought. The three armies under him are still too few. , and after seeing his brother's army, Li Shimin was always dissatisfied with the quality of the soldiers. He wondered how to improve the quality of the soldiers in all aspects?

Fang Xuanling and Du Ru looked at each other in a vague way, both felt helpless, but they still tried their best to put forward their suggestions and opinions.

Two days later, without the knowledge of most of the courtiers, the five armies on the outskirts of Chang'an left Chang'an from five directions and headed for the land of Longxi. Longxi Xueju was too close to Chang'an, and he declared himself emperor, so Tang chose He was the first to strike, and Wang Shichong of Luoyang, after all, had a false emperor from the previous dynasty under his command, so let him go for the time being, and leave him to be dealt with next year.

Afterwards, Li Yuan spent his free time thinking about finding a wife for his son. He was tired of having such a son, but the son was his own son, so he didn't worry about it. What could he do?

Today is a cloudy day, the sun is blocked by dark clouds, the imperial garden is very lively in the middle of the afternoon, and there is the voice of a little girl.

Li Yuan stopped and listened. It turned out that the second daughter-in-law, Chang Sun, brought two concubine granddaughters into the palace to visit the concubines. There were children, and there was harmony.

At this time, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought, it is so difficult for him to find a wife for his son, doesn't Qingyun Pavilion have its own source of information?Then let Liang Tao give him a piece of information about the temperament and disposition of the daughters of the princes and ministers, and he can choose the one that suits him, right?

So Li Yuan went back excitedly, and summoned Liang Tao when he returned to the Imperial Study Room, but everyone in the Imperial Garden was quite disappointed.

After half a day, Liang Tao really gave Li Yuan a thick stack of papers. Li Yuan was speechless.

But in the end he watched it anyway, so there are so many vicious women!

This mother-in-law is indeed jealous, but she is also too poisonous. What if she feels that she has become a crown princess but has no children of her own, and wants to give birth to a child?And if she feels that she has no children to inherit the throne, why should she take advantage of the children of Erlang and Saburo's family?What if there was hatred for a while, and Erlang and his children were harmed?

That's good, wait a minute, why are there only concubine sisters in the family, but no concubine brothers?The concubine of this family is not in good health, often miscarriages, and the only concubine who was born died of illness early because of his weak health... Thinking about it, I am terrified!

……

In the end, reading this document made Li Yuan's scalp tingle. Of course, this is only a small part of it. Most of the female relatives are good, but he still feels terrible!

Li Xie naturally knew that Li Yuan had asked Liang Tao for the investigation documents of the women's family members of the officials in Chang'an City, so he was not in a hurry, when Li Yuan recovered, Yaoyao should go to Chang'an.

Under Li Xie's expectation, he finally sensed that Yunyao had come to Chang'an in the evening. He secretly ran to watch, followed her all the way, watched the four of them wandering around the city, and finally came to In a street that is not remote and not bustling, I stayed at the inn on this street.

He only heard the two maidservants calling her San Niangzi, and the younger one as Qi Niangzi, and it was just the four of them who came all the way from Luoyang to Chang'an?

Li Xie couldn't help turning dark, but he still didn't know her identity. Finally, he found a chance to stun the maid. Liu He came out of the room and planned to ask for hot water from Xiaoer. After being fascinated by Li Xie, He took her to another empty room, and after asking questions about Yunyao's identity, he pushed her out of the room. Liu He didn't know that she had been kidnapped, and when she woke up, she immediately said angrily: "Oops, why did I run here?" Are you here?" Then he quickly turned back and went down the stairs over there.

Li Xie rubbed his face, feeling a little funny in his heart, he didn't think why, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and after he went back, he signaled to Qingyun Pavilion to check the situation of the sisters Yang Ruoxi and Yang Ruomei Come out, and let Liang Tao present it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins. Yang Guang died, and he would not embarrass his family. On the contrary, he would take extra care of them. After all, when they were young, they were also good brothers who 'drove together'.

Then, on the third day, sister Yang Ruoxi was taken into the palace by Liang Tao and several guards in such a daze. Yang Ruoxi still had a little impression of Taiji Palace. I never went back to Chang'an again.
