Chapter 16 Li Yuan "Drive! Drive! Drive!"
On the eighteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Wude, the city of Chang'an in the early morning seemed like an ancient beast that had just woken up, slowly waking was a rapid sound of horse hooves in front of the city gate that had just opened, which made the city gate guards who had just woken up immediately cheer up.
"The city gate is an important place, who is coming?" The city gate guard did not dare to neglect and shouted hurriedly.
Soon three knights on war horses appeared from the mist. They were all in a mess. Judging from their expressions, they must have not rested for a long time. This made the city gate guard nervous for a while. He hoped that it was not some bad news. The world was witnessing this. There will be peace, and the people can breathe a sigh of relief. If something happens at this time, the world may be in chaos again.
Not to mention the inner monologue of the city gate guard, it is said that the three knights came to the city gate and hurriedly pulled up the reins. The horses stopped after a rapid neigh.
"Military emergency, get out of the way!"
I saw that the other side actually took out a pure gold token with the word 'King of Qin' written on it. When the city gate guard saw it, his pupils tightened and he shouted: "Quick, get out of the way!"
After the guards got out of the way, the three knights quickly passed through the city gate and headed towards the palace.
"King Qin, is it true?" The city gate guard did not dare to think about it anymore and ordered the soldiers to concentrate on guarding the city gate. He also began to carefully inspect the city gate's defense facilities.
In the splendid Tai Chi Hall, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting on the dragon chair above. The twelve-chapter bead curtain covered the emperor who had only been on the throne for six years. At this time, the ministers in the hall were quarreling with each other, and Li Yuan was sitting on the dragon chair. They watched from above without speaking, because the bead curtain blocked everyone's view of the emperor's expression. Slowly, the quarrel gradually became quieter, until the drop of a needle could be heard.
"It's so noisy! Why don't you stop arguing?" There was no emotion in Li Yuan's voice, which made the ministers lower their heads even more.
"I am guilty, I hope Your Majesty will calm down!" Everyone bowed to plead guilty.
"Calm down! At this time, the world is uncertain and the people are still living in the chaos of war. You don't want to share the country's worries. You are noisy and noisy in the court all day long. How unbecoming! How unbecoming!" Li Yuanyou's face was full of grief, as if he was really He was worried about the people and scolded the ministers.
Several ministers standing in the front row looked at each other with helplessness. They never thought that this loyal elder who was praised before the rise of power would be so skilled in imperial power after he ascended the throne.
Pei Ji, who was already the right servant of Wei Guogong, felt even more deceived at this time. He and Li Yuan had been old friends for many years. According to others' understanding, he knew Li Yuan best, but now even he dare not When it comes to knowing Li Yuan, I feel even more terrified every day, for fear of touching Li Yuan's sore spots and being abandoned by him.
"His Majesty."
"report"
Just when Pei Ji wanted to say something, an emergency call came from outside the hall, interrupting Pei Ji's voice.
Soon, an embarrassed sergeant who was supported by two soldiers was brought to the Taiji Hall. The sergeant threw away the support and knelt down on the ground. He was so angry that he said: "A few days ago, the eldest princess Pingyang was injured by a stray arrow at Niangziguan. In order not to affect her. The morale of the army remains silent until the war is over, princess princess."
"What's wrong with Pingyang? Tell me quickly?" Li Yuan had already arrived in front of the sergeant, his hands pointed at the sergeant and said harshly.
"Due to the princess's injury, it was delayed for a long time. When the battle was over, she fainted on the top of the city. King Qin arrived in time and asked a nearby doctor to diagnose and treat the palace owner. However," the reporting sergeant could no longer hold on at this time, but slowly Shi persisted, knowing his responsibility.
"However, all the doctors were helpless to deal with the princess's injury. His Highness the King of Qin did not dare to wait any longer. He took only a hundred knights with him and wanted to rush back to Chang'an to treat the princess. However, he was blocked by enemy troops on the way, so he could only take a detour from the north. For three whole days without sleep, more than [-] people died from exhaustion, and nearly [-]% of them died. However, when we were in Haoju County, the princess could no longer hold on. The King of Qin could only ask us to report the news to His Majesty, and wait for the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. Please ask Your Majesty to Send the imperial doctor quickly!"
After saying this, the reporting sergeant passed out. He had not rested for four days. He was so tired!
"Your Majesty, please let me go!" At this time, a handsome general stepped forward quickly and asked Li Yuan for orders.
"Chai Shao! I now order you to take the imperial doctor to Haojue County immediately. If you dare to delay for a moment, you are the only one to ask!" Li Yuan also calmed down at this time. He originally wanted to go, but he knew that the courtiers would not Agreeing, the prince-in-law Chai Shao just jumped ’s fine!Chai Shao is Pingyang's prince-in-law, and he is more suitable than anyone else to go there! "Yes, Your Majesty!" Chai Shao saluted Li Yuan solemnly, turned around and left quickly! "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the princess is a lucky girl and everything will be fine." Pei Ji comforted Li Yuan from the side.
"I hope so! This child Pingyang has suffered too much. She has never enjoyed any blessings with me. If she had known this, I would have said nothing to let her go to the battlefield again. If Pingyang can escape this disaster, I will even lock her up in the future. We have to be imprisoned in Chang'an, and we will never go to war again." Li Yuan's face was full of loneliness at this time. If something really happened to Pingyang, he really didn't know how he would explain it to the Dou family a hundred years later.
When something like this happened, Li Yuanna still had something to think about, so he hurriedly stopped courting and left on the grounds of feeling unwell.
Not to mention Chai Shao's hurry and Li Yuan's heartache, the entire yard of the Ji family was filled with all kinds of snoring. Whether it was Li Shimin or other soldiers, they were all snoring loudly. Only Cheng Yao Jin and Qin Qiong stood beside Li Shimin.
After treating Princess Pingyang's injury, Ji Song asked Li Shimin to go to the room to rest, but he was unwilling to do anything and said he wanted to wait for his third sister to wake Ji Song's words gave him a lot of confidence and made him relax, and he fell asleep in a short while.
Ji Song had no choice but to hold out a bed for a lifetime and let them put it on Li Shimin. After that, Qin Qiong let the other sergeants rest while they continued to stand guard.
"What do you call the two generals?" Ji Song asked after seeing these two generals who were dedicated to their duties. He already had some ideas in his mind, but was not sure.
"This is Qin Qiong!"
"I'm Cheng Yaojin!"
Although Ji Song had a pretty good guess, he still felt incredible after confirming two are not unknown people. Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao are one of the door gods in later generations. Thousands of households put his portrait on the door every year during the festival, which can be said to be a household name! Cheng Yaojin, also known as Cheng Zhijie, whose courtesy name is famous name has been passed down through the ages. There is a proverb: Cheng Yaojin appears only is he among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he is also a tumbler in the the three dynasties of Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Gaozong, the descendants continued to be rich and powerful.
"It turns out to be Yi Bo Yuntian's divine fist guard! I'm disrespectful!" Ji Song saluted Qin Qiong.
"Oh, Mr. Young Master, have you heard of so-and-so?" Qin Qiong said in surprise.
"I heard it from my father!" Ji Song said vaguely.
"Boy, have you ever heard of me, Old Cheng?"
Cheng Yaojin felt envious when he saw that Ji Song knew about Qin Qiong, so he asked Ji Song.
