When Yang Zhao set off, Li Yuan had already arrived in Luoyang.
"I am very grateful that the Crown Princess thinks highly of Sanlang. But Sanlang has been weak and sickly since he was young, and I really can't bear to let him go to the palace as a tutor." Li Yuan choked up, "The tutor has to get up before dawn every day and go to school with the prince, and he will also be punished for the prince. My Sanlang's body really can't bear it. Can we replace him with Erlang? Erlang is thick-skinned and can endure hardships."
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Without my permission, the Crown Princess dare not force your Sanlang into the palace." Yang Guang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If Sanlang was healthy, I would keep Erlang by my side. How could it be her turn? Don't push your Erlang out to block him. You don't want Sanlang to suffer, but do you really have the heart to let Erlang suffer?"
Li Yuan wiped his nose with a handkerchief: "No, I can't bear it, but the Crown Princess loves me so much..."
"You are my cousin, and Madam Dugu is my aunt. She is just a Crown Princess, so she dare not do anything." Yang Guang snorted coldly, "The same goes for the Crown Prince. What on earth is he doing? Looking for a companion for his young son who was born last year? Why look for a companion for a child who can't even speak? Humph."
Li Yuan said: "The Crown Prince has a kind heart, and the Crown Princess has a loving heart, he just can't bear to refute it."
"You are indecisive and womanly, how can you be the crown prince!" Yang Guang scolded.
Li Yuan covered his ears.
Yang Guang: "...what are you doing?"
Li Yuan said, "I cannot listen to that. Your Majesty, if you continue to scold your son, I will not hear anything."
Yang Guang was amused by Li Yuan's action. He waved his hand and said, "From your expression, have you come here without sleep or rest? Go and have a rest first. After you have rested, go back quickly. Isn't your daughter going to get married? Don't miss your daughter's wedding day."
Li Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will go back tomorrow!"
Yang Guang said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, just leave."
"Yes... ah, I forgot that my mother has a letter for Your Majesty." Li Yuan took out a letter from his arms, "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "Why didn't you present it earlier?"
He walked down the steps, took the letter from Li Yuan personally, and opened the envelope.
Li Yuan said embarrassedly: "Maybe I didn't get enough sleep, so I'm a little confused."
"I think you are always confused." Yang Guang said sarcastically. After reading the letter, he sighed, "Aunt said that she would never ask for anything for future generations. She only asks me for this matter. The Duke of Tang's Mansion only wants to be a loyal minister to the emperor. Please do not let the children of the Duke of Tang enter the palace to be companions and subordinates of any prince or grandson of the emperor."
Li Yuan immediately lowered his head and said in fear and trepidation: "My mother is old and confused, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Old and confused? Aunt is the most sober person." Yang Guang said, "She is my elder, it's okay for her to speak bluntly. Li Yuan, what do you think the prince is thinking?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a while and whispered, "Your Majesty, please don't tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what I said. I am a small family and I dare not anger His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes, yes, the Duke of Tang's family is small and has little business." Yang Guang said unhappily, "I promise you, tell me."
Li Yuan said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is quite an elder. How could he plot against a child? But His Highness the Crown Prince knew that Sanlang was weak, and he still made a bet with Sanlang that he would definitely lose. It was obvious that he was on the side of the Crown Princess. It should be that the Crown Princess's family behind her put some pressure on him."
Yang Guang sneered, "Jingzhao Wei, huh. Perhaps in the eyes of Jingzhao Wei, the Tang Guogong Mansion is indeed a small family with little business."
Li Yuan said: "Yes. So I can only come to Your Majesty crying."
Yang Guang smiled and shook his head: "Okay, now that you're done crying, hurry up and leave."
Li Yuan took his leave again.
After Li Yuan left, the smile on Yang Guang's face disappeared: "Duke Xu, do you think the prince was really forced into this?"
Yuwen Shu walked out from behind the screen, and Yang Guang handed the letter in his hand to Yuwen Shu.
After reading the letter from Madam Dugu, Yuwen Shu said, "Neither Duke Tang nor his wife mentioned the prince's fault, so it's possible that the prince did have some calculations. But the prince is indeed kind and would not let the frail Li Sanlang get involved in the palace struggle. Perhaps he just wants to use Duke Tang to suppress the uneasy Jingzhao Wei family."
"My son may look tolerant on the surface, but he is actually very calculating." Yang Guang sighed, "After all, he is a child taught by my father and mother. Even I have not spent as much time with him as he did."
Yuwen Shu listened quietly.
Yang Guang said: "But a ruler should be upright and use his power to suppress others. He is good at the harem and his methods are too feminine. Such calculations cannot convince the people. You see, the Tang Guogong Mansion is somewhat disgusted with him. I heard that Li Erlang and Li Sanlang have become very close to him because of Chai Shao."
Yuwen Shu said: "Your Highness is still young. With Your Majesty's guidance, Your Highness will definitely learn Your Majesty's noble and righteous way of being a monarch."
Yang Guang's gloomy face finally showed a little smile: "He is not young anymore, he is already the father of three children. I know that You'er is his legitimate son, and he loves You'er. But Neng'er is also his eldest son, and he lost his mother at a young age. He has calculated so much, but has he ever thought about how sad Neng'er is?"
Yuwen Shu said: "The eldest grandson of the emperor is kind, filial and intelligent. He regards the Crown Princess as his own mother, so he should not dare to be sad."
"I dare not, oh, I dare not." Yang Guang's face darkened again, "The wives that my father married for Zhao'er were really bad, one from the Cui family and the other from the Wei family, neither of them is a good person."
Yuwen Shu was quiet again.
After Yang Guang cursed a few more times, Yuwen Shu said, "Your Majesty, this incident proves that Duke Tang is indeed loyal to Your Majesty and only to Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Yang Guang felt a little better: "Yes. When I saw that he was on good terms with the Crown Prince, I thought he was no longer satisfied with being my cousin and was thinking about the next generation of wealth and honor."
Hearing Yang Guang's heart-piercing words, Yuwen Shu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although the emperor trusted him extremely, Yuwen Shu couldn't help but be touched when he saw the emperor's groundless suspicion of other people.
The Emperor had just shown some trust in Duke Tang, but he became suspicious of him again just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited Duke Tang's mansion a few more times.
The emperor has just ascended the throne, and the crown prince is young and benevolent. Why is he now dissatisfied with other ministers' contact with the crown prince?
Yuwen Shu could never say what was in his mind; he would only obey the emperor's thoughts forever.
But under the premise of obedience, Yuwen Shu would say something good for the people on his side. Li Yuan and his son Yuwen Shiji were close friends, so naturally they were also on his side.
"I heard that Li's eldest son is well-known among the nobles, and has the demeanor of a Duke of Tang, very dashing and straightforward. Your Majesty knows the intelligence of Li's second son and third son better than I do. With the situation of the Li family's children, there is probably no need to worry about the wealth of the next generation." Yuwen Shu said, "People in the court should have also discovered that the next generation of the Li family will have no worries about wealth, so they are anxious to win them over. After all, the Li family is already weak and can't stand alone."
Yang Guang thought about it and realized that although the Tang Guogong Mansion had a glorious past, it was now unable to stand on its own.
Li Yuan was the youngest son of an old man. His peers had all passed away, and there were few outstanding people in the next generation, all of whom lived by relying on shadows. In the Li family, Li Yuan was the only one in a high position. Isn't it "one tree can't support the whole family"?
Such a person can only rely on the emperor's grace, and is the most suitable candidate to be a confidant.
After being touched by Yuwen Shu's words, Yang Guang's resentment towards Li Yuan was somewhat relieved.
In fact, if Li Yuan had not been on good terms with the deposed crown prince Yang Yong, Yang Guang would have long since made use of Li Yuan. Although Li Yuan was very close to all of them, in Yang Guang's eyes, Li Yuan was close to his enemies, and he could not help but feel uncomfortable.
Forget it, a monarch should be tolerant, and he will not care about the past. Yang Guang finally forgave Li Yuan generously.
When Li Yuan left, he took away a cart of rewards from Yang Guang on the pretext of "adding dowry to your third mother".
Because Yang Zhao was fat and could not travel too fast, Li Yuan and Yang Zhao missed each other. Yang Zhao arrived in Luoyang only when Li Yuan returned to Daxing.
"Father, it's my fault for disturbing you with these little things." Yang Zhao kowtowed and admitted his fault when he met her. "Originally, I just wanted to use the bet with Sanlang to politely reject the Crown Princess, but I didn't expect to make my aunt sad. I am unfilial. I will apologize to my aunt when I return to Daxing."
"Alright, alright, get up first." Yang Guang said unhappily, "Duke Tang, report this matter to me, that's what a subject should do. I will decide on the companion study, you are only the crown prince now."
Yang Zhao acted panic-stricken and said, "Yes! My son has never forgotten it."
He sighed inwardly, "It's terrible." Li Sanlang said that his father was afraid of him, and judging from his father's tone, it must be true.
…
"I heard that when the Crown Princess went to Tokyo, His Majesty and the Queen did not receive her, and she did not even have a chance to apologize." Madam Dou said casually while helping her daughter to pack her dowry. "His Majesty and the Queen also asked the Crown Prince to send his eldest grandson Yang Tan to them, and personally raised him on the grounds that the Queen was lonely."
Li Sanniang propped her chin with both hands and said, "The Crown Princess won't bear a grudge against our family, right?"
Madam Dou said lazily, "Holding a grudge? With your majesty's love for the eldest grandson, she should be afraid that our family will hold a grudge against her. The Wei family is not all stupid. They were a little arrogant because of the birth of the crown prince. Now that they have been slapped in the face, they should be sober now."
Li Sanniang smiled and said, "Will they come to please us?"
Madam Dou said, "Who knows? After you marry into the Chai family, you must also warn Chai Shao not to get too close to the crown prince. There can only be two rulers in a country, understand? The East Palace Qianniu Bei is just a stepping stone for him to be promoted."
Li Sanniang put away her smile and replied seriously, "Yes. Please rest assured, mother."
Madam Dou nodded: "I trust you very much."
Li Sanniang propped up her chin with both hands again: "After I left home, no one looked after Erlang and Sanlang. I was really worried about them."
Madam Dou smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. Given their personalities, they will definitely take advantage of their young age and come to the Chai family to look for you often."
Li Sanniang smiled and said, "That's right. Alas, my father said he would choose a name for me, how come he hasn't told me even after two days of coming back?"
Mrs. Dou thought about the way Li Yuan scratched his hair with both hands, and did not expose her husband in front of her daughter: "He must want to give you a surprise on the day of your wedding."
This is Li Yuan's study.
Li Xuanba, who was unwillingly held on Li Yuan's lap, had a dull expression on his face: "Ah? What? Dade? My name is Dade? Isn't this too vulgar?"
Li Yuan patted Li Xuanba's forehead and said, "What do you mean by vulgar? This is a good word that Yeye thought of for a long time. Great virtue is a respectful title for Buddha, Bodhisattva and wise monks!"
Li Xuanba frowned at first, then relaxed helplessly.
Li Xuanba died too early, and there were too few records about him, so no one paid attention to him. Although he had read them, he had forgotten the few records about Li Xuanba. Now, when Li Yuan mentioned the word "great virtue" to him, he remembered it.
Alas, Li Xuanba's name is really "Da De", which means Buddha, Bodhisattva and eminent monk.
The Buddhist atmosphere in the Sui Dynasty was very strong, and Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu were both very devout Buddhists. Therefore, nobles often used Buddhist terms to name their children.
For example, Li Jiancheng's name is "Bishamon", which means "Tota-Bearing Heavenly King", one of the four heavenly kings who protect Buddhism, the god of wealth in Indian mythology, also known as the God of Wealth.
Li Yuanji's nickname was "Sanhu", which was later also used as a character, meaning the three-pronged pestle, a sacred Indian weapon, and was extended to the three parts of the Garbha-dhatu and the three wisdoms and three views, among other three tracks of Dharma.
Li Zhiyun's courtesy name is "Jihong", which also means praising Buddhism, but it is different from the previous legitimate sons who all use the names of gods as courtesy names to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate sons.
After that, Li Yuan's sons were all born after he became emperor, and he no longer chose characters himself. Occasionally, his sons or princes or their teachers would choose characters themselves, and they were all ordinary Chinese characters.
His second brother Li Shimin must have had a courtesy name as well. According to historical records, when Li Yuan complained about Li Shimin to his ministers, he addressed Li Shimin by his courtesy name.
So my second brother's handwriting…
Li Xuanba wiped his face and forced an ugly smile: "Where is the second brother? What is the second brother's name?"
Second brother, why did you go to play with Changsun Wuji again? Don't leave me alone at home to be tortured by my father!
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Guess?"
Li Xuanba said weakly, "Great favor."
Li Yuan: "Ah? Why?"
Li Xuanba said: "Thank you for your kindness, father." Thank you for the ugly name, father. Thank you for your kindness!
Li Xuanba was very dissatisfied with his name.
What is Li Xuanba? It means Li Sanqiang. Seeing that his brothers' names are all on the same level, Li Xuanba really suspected that his father hit his head against the door when naming him.
Even if I pray for my own good health, I can't name myself Li Sanqiang, right?
I thought it would be much better after I had a courtesy name. The ancients' courtesy names were symbols of good moral character, and most of them were elegant. He could avoid the embarrassment of having an ugly name by calling himself by his courtesy name instead of his given name.
However? Li Sanqiang and Li Dade, hahahaha, fell!
Li Yuan laughed: "You guessed half right."
Li Xuanba: "..." No, don't give your second brother an ugly Buddhist name! You can't do this!
Li Yuan said Li Shimin's name in front of Li Xuanba's collapsed eyes: "Shimin's name is 'Daxiong'. Daxiong also means Buddha. Look how good Ye Ye is to you? The names of the two of you are not only similar in words, but also in meaning."
Li Yuan was very proud of the names he had painstakingly chosen for his twins.
If it weren't for the name Sanlang protecting him, making Sanlang's health much better than when he was young, and not having to worry about dying young, Li Yuan would have changed Li Xuanba's name to something similar to Li Shimin, such as Li ShiX and Li Xmin.
Twins are meant to be similar, that's what makes them interesting.
So when Li Yuan gave Li Shimin and Li Xuanba the names of their children, he had to satisfy his regret. The names of the twins must be able to show that they are twins at first glance.
He originally wanted to find a pair of twin gods in Buddhism, but he couldn't find a suitable one, and the Chinese translations were very different. People who didn't understand Buddhism couldn't tell that Li Shimin and Li Xuanba were twins.
Li Yuan stayed up late and read many Buddhist scriptures with Mrs. Dou before finally choosing the pair of words "Daxiong" and "Dade".
Li Daxiong and Li Dade are twins at first glance! And they are both the best Buddha!
Li Xuanba's eyes were dull.
Nobita... Nobita... Lee Nobita...
No, father, you can't do this. You can't give such a name to General Tiance, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, even if you give him the name "Erfeng"!
"Hahahaha, Yeah Yeah, I knew you would be surprised. Look, you're so happy!" Li Yuan laughed. He picked up Li Xuanba and walked out. "Erlang should be back. Let's go and tell Erlang the good news!"
Li Xuanba lay on Li Yuan's shoulder, his mind blank.
Nobita... Nobita... Lee Nobita...
Father, why don't you give me a name like Li Dora Li Dingdang? That way I can be more like a brother to Li Daxiong!
Li Xuanba, the anti-fan of Erfeng, was upset.
Li Yuan calculated the time very accurately. He carried Li Xuanba, whose soul had already left his body, into the courtyard. Li Shimin had just returned home and was skipping to look for Yeye and his brother.
Li Shimin pounced: "Yeah yeah!"
"Erlang!" Li Yuan protected Li Xuanba in his arms with one hand and picked up Li Shimin with the other hand, "Oh, Erlang is heavy again. After a while, Yeye won't be able to hold you and Sanlang at the same time."
Li Shimin hugged Li Yuan's neck and rubbed it: "Yeah, just hold your brother. I will walk by myself and I won't get lost."
Li Yuan said, "Okay, Erlang has grown up and can walk on his own. Erlang, Yeye has given names to Erlang and Sanlang who have grown up. Erlang will be called Daxiong from now on, which means Buddha."
Li Shimin said happily, "It sounds great! I like it! What about Sanlang? Sanlang's handwriting should be similar to mine. Yeye and I mentioned this before."
Li Yuan said, "Yes, you have stumped Yeye and the Queen. Your Queen and I have been looking through books for a long time. Sanlang's name is 'Da De', which also means Buddha. Are you satisfied?"
Li Shimin cheered: "Great! That's great! My handwriting is the same as my brother's!"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, they are both Buddhas, two little Buddhas!"
He lowered his head and rubbed Li Shimin with his beard, and Li Shimin chuckled.
Only Li Xuanba continued to lie on Li Yuan's shoulder, his soul leaving his body.
At this moment, the time traveler is lonely, and the natives of the Sui Dynasty do not understand his sadness.
How could the natives of the Sui Dynasty think that the characters "Daxiong" and "Dade" that symbolize Buddha were vulgar? They would not have known that there was a famous useless anime protagonist named "Daxiong" in later generations.
Wait, Nobita is not a loser, but a hero who has saved countless parallel worlds, and he is also a sharpshooter.
"Great Virtue, are you unhappy? This word sounds so nice, we are still the same!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and poked the back of Li Xuanba's head.
Li Xuanba turned his head and said weakly: "It sounds nice and I'm happy, but you should still call me Xuan. I don't want to call you Daxiong either."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, the name is given by an outsider, so we should do what we should do."
Li Xuanba hid the sadness that only belongs to a time traveler in his heart, forced a smile, and nodded frequently.
Yes, yes, yes, I am not Li Dade, and you are not Li Daxiong.
Get out of here! Mother, why didn't you stop father?
Obviously, Mrs. Dou not only did not stop Li Yuan, she also thought that these two words were very well achieved.
Not only Mrs. Dou thought so, but everyone who heard the names Li Yuan gave to the twins thought that these two names were simply amazing.
Li Yuan must have put a lot of effort into coming up with this pair of characters. He really loved Li Erlang and Li Sanlang so much.
Li Shimin was very proud of it. He would show off his calligraphy to different friends every day. He also told his friends not to call him Li Erlang anymore, but to call him Li Daxiong instead.
Li Xuanba is in autism.
Fortunately, the name Li Yuan gave to his third sister when she got married barely soothed his sadness.
"Sanniang, Yeye will not give you a courtesy name. Let Chai Shao choose your courtesy name. Yeye will give you a big name." Li Yuan personally pinned a pearl hairpin on his daughter's head, regardless of etiquette. "My daughter is as talented as any man, shining like the sun and the moon. So, Sanniang, your name will be 'Zhao', which means the sun and the moon are shining brightly."
Li Sanniang, Li Zhao shed tears: "Yes, yes, my daughter's name is Zhao, the Zhao of the sun and the moon shining brightly."
Mrs. Dou wiped the tears from her daughter's eyes, feeling extremely sad: "Don't cry, don't ruin your makeup on such a happy day."
"Yeah." Li Zhao forced a smile.
"Make way, everyone, make way!" Li Shimin pulled Li Xuanba in and squeezed through the crowd. "Finally we made it to this day. It was almost going to become my sister's wedding gift. Look, sister!"
Li Zhao took the small box from Li Shimin's hand, opened it and saw a lifelike peony flower made of pearl slices and extremely fine gold threads.
Li Xuanba bent over and supported his knees, panting heavily and said, "Hehe, just breathe in and it will stick to my forehead."
Madam Dou was surprised and asked, "Is this the flower ornament you made for mother last time?"
Li Shimin said proudly: "It is a more beautiful and more valuable flower ornament!"
Madam Dou smiled and said, "Try it quickly." Her flower headband was made of dragonfly wings and soon withered. She regretted it for a long time, but she didn't need to dress up after returning home, so she didn't ask someone to make another flower headband.
Under Li Shimin's gesture guidance, Li Zhao put the flower ornament on his forehead.
The flower ornament was a bit heavy, but it was firmly attached by a special colloid made from fish glue and bone glue. Li Zhao moved it a few times to make sure that the flower ornament would not fall off.
Li Yuan looked at it for a long time, helped his daughter adjust the position of her flower ornaments, and said, "The pearl hairpin on Zhao'er's head is too plain with the flower ornaments. Madam, do you have any colorful hairpins?"
Madam Dou smiled and said, "Of course. We have all kinds of jewelry."
She replaced the plainer hairpins on Li Zhao's head with more gorgeous jewelry.
One of the hairpins was a phoenix hairpin that her late uncle had prepared for her as a coming-of-age gift.
Mrs. Dou had long hair since she was very young. Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou prepared countless rare hairpins for his most beloved niece, waiting for her to wear them after she reached the age of 15 and had her hair tied up.
It's a pity that he didn't get to see that scene.
None of the servants who served Li Zhao intervened, and Mrs. Dou personally dressed Li Zhao up.
The auspicious time had arrived and the sounds of gongs and drums could be heard in the inner courtyard.
Li Zhao picked up a round fan to cover his face, and walked out of the inner courtyard under the personal guidance of Li Yuan.
Chai Shao, who was chatting and joking with Li Jiancheng, was so stunned that he was speechless when he saw that his wife was actually brought out by her father-in-law himself.
Li Jiancheng frowned first, then looked at his father's red eyes and sighed.
"Father." Li Jiancheng signaled to the people around him with his eyes, asking his father not to go too far, as it would affect the reputation of the Duke of Tang's Mansion.
Li Yuan sighed, loosened his hand, and walked to where he should be.
Just as Li Jiancheng was about to lead Chai Shao to the wedding process, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba stepped forward from Li Zhao's left and right, blocking everyone's way.
Li Shimin crossed his arms and said, "You must pass this test first. I will test you in archery. If you can't hit the target, you are not allowed to take my sister away."
Li Xuan said domineeringly: "Brother Chai, you haven't forgotten the poem urging you to get ready?"
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Don't mess around, be careful not to miss the auspicious time."
Chai Shao immediately said: "No mistake, no mistake, come! I'm ready!"
He immediately picked up the bow and arrow that Li Shimin had ordered someone to bring him, and shot three arrows straight into the bull's eye, with the arrow feathers almost sinking into the target.
Li Jiancheng's mouth twitched slightly and he looked away.
Chai Shao seemed to be really excited, but he didn't care since it was a two-way fight.
After passing the test of Li Shimin, Chai Shao immediately began to recite poems.
Li Xuanba's eyes narrowed immediately.
Although Chai Shao's poems are not considered masterpieces, they are definitely not something that Chai Shao can produce with his current abilities. This guy has obviously found many literati in advance and paid a lot of money to write many poems to urge him to make up.
He has done this, so it is not good to make things difficult for him. Making things difficult for him would only make him an enemy.
"Brother Chai, please come closer and listen." Li Xuanba waved to Chai Shao, "I have a congratulatory message for you, and only you can hear it."
Chai Shao leaned over and whispered: "Thank you, Sanlang, for your congratulations."
Li Xuanba whispered softly into Chai Shao's ear: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chang'an, the capital. Yellow flowers are blooming under the fence, and the autumn looks like it has been wiped out. The songs all around are finally broken, and I am trapped in the boudoir in vain. I was forced to be a beautiful woman, but I don't care.
I am not a man, but I am a man of courage. I am always passionate because of others. Who can understand me among the common people? The hero should be tortured at the end of his life. Where can I find a soulmate in this world? My shirt is wet.
Chai Shao was stunned.
Li Xuanba straightened up and said, "The name of the tune is "Man Jiang Hong". I think my sister's husband must be the soulmate that my sister is looking for."
Li Xuanba made way and bowed, saying, "Please."
Chai Shao stood up and said, "Sanlang, did you do this, or..."
Li Xuanba smiled: "Of course it's me."
Chai Shao smiled and sighed: "Yes, yes, it must be you. Please rest assured, I must be that soulmate."
Li Zhao held up a round fan and glanced at Li Xuanba.
Li Xuanba stuffed a brocade bag into Li Zhao's hand and said, "Some small snacks. If you get hungry on the way, you can have some first."
Li Zhao nodded, and then walked towards Chai Shao.
Chai Shao immediately smiled like a fool.
Li Zhao took Chai Shao's hand, walked out of the house with Chai Shao, and got on the carriage.
Li Shimin and Li Xuanba followed to the door and stopped to look into the distance.
The moment Li Zhao walked out of the house, she was already a wife of the Chai family.
Not only Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, but even Li Yuan and Madam Dou were not allowed to leave the house, and could not follow Li Zhao to the Chai family to watch Li Zhao worship heaven and earth and drink wedding wine.
The mother's family stopped there and could only watch from afar.
"Father, mother, don't be sad. Chai Shao and Sanniang will come back in three days, and then we will be able to see Sanniang again." Li Jiancheng comforted his parents who were crying.
Li Yuan wiped his tears and held his wife's hand: "Yes, I will be back in three days. Don't cry, or you will hurt yourself. Daxiong, Dade, don't hope for the best either."
Li Shimin nodded dejectedly.
The melancholy on Li Xuanba's face instantly turned into expressionlessness.
I hate this word. I hate it so much!
…
"Um, the note?"
Chai Shao rode a horse, and Li Zhao sat alone in the carriage for the wedding, and could put down her fan. She opened the brocade bag given by Li Xuanba, and inside it, besides the cakes that she could eat one at a time, there was also a note.
Li Zhao unfolded the note: "Red River·Autumn Grievance?"
Li Zhao recited the entire poem softly, his eyes shining.
She smiled and said, "This poem was written by my ten-year-old sister? Puchi, this little rascal. This poem was what Sanlang read to Chailang before."
Li Zhao's hand gently brushed across the words on the note.
Although I am not a man, my heart is stronger than that of a man.
"Who can understand my mind as a vulgar person?" Li Zhao murmured to himself.
…
"Ah, Qiu Jin? A female hero? Overthrowing the monarchy?" Li Shimin was dumbfounded. "Is it a change of dynasty?"
Li Xuanba: [It is not a change of dynasty, but a complete end to the imperial system. From now on, there will be no more emperors. This will happen a thousand years later.]
Li Shimin covered his ears and said, "Don't tell me what will happen a thousand years later. I dare not listen to such unorthodox things. I will have nightmares if I hear them! How can such a thing happen? I don't believe it!"
Li Xuanba: [Listen to me as I explain in detail.]
"No, I won't listen!" Li Shimin ran away and disappeared in an instant, running quickly out of the three-meter radius of the heart voice.
Li Xuanba: "Tsk."
Li Xuanba temporarily let his second brother go and began to prepare a gift for his teacher Gao Jiong.
The emperor warned Jingzhao Wei and the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to the Duke of Tang's mansion under the pretext of Li Zhao's dowry and confessed their crime to Madam Dugu in person.
In the eyes of everyone, the matter was settled.
But Li Xuanba had no intention of ending it.
The survival wisdom he gained from struggling alone in his previous life made him very clear that if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. But if someone offends me, and I don't hurt the other person enough to make him dare not fight back, then some people who are not tactful enough will do it again next time.
He didn't even reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, but just left the Crown Princess alone for a few days and gave her a few mild reprimands? It seemed that Yang Guang had no intention of venting his anger on behalf of the Duke of Tang's mansion. Then he could only do it himself.
"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry. Please consider me the second victim of the spoiler." Li Xuanba sighed sympathetically while writing the spoiler draft in words that only he could understand.
But please don't scare Mr. Gao into anything bad, or I'll feel guilty.
The author has something to say:
Random thoughts:
1. The meaning of the characters Li Yuan chose comes from the Buddhist dictionary. I looked it up very hard and found that Bishamon, Dade, and Jihong are indeed characters, and Sanhu is a small character, but it is also used as a character. It should be because the Sui Dynasty still had Xianbei customs at that time and was seriously influenced by Buddhist culture, so they chose such unique cultural characters, and the small characters were mixed with the characters of the young crown, which was different from the Han customs.
So, in order to match Li Xuanba's Buddhist character "Da De", I carefully selected "Da Xiong", which is the "Da Xiong" in "Da Xiong Bao Dian". I even suspected that this was really Li Shimin's character (being beaten).
2. The poem "After the Manjiang River·Autumn Grievances" in the article is adapted from the poem "After the Manjiang River·Short Stay in Beijing" by the revolutionary Qiu Jin:
"After the Manjiang River·Short Stay in Beijing"
