Chapter 413 Chang'an Youth
Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin have known each other for [-] years, and they have a very close relationship. Changsun Chong is also Li Shimin's nephew, and he can be regarded as growing up by Li Shimin's side since childhood.

Changsun Chong was smart and sensible since he was a child, and he was also the son of the eldest grandson, so he was loved by Li Shimin. Changsun Wuji recommended Changsun Chong to join the army in the north and earn a piece of military merit. How could Li Shimin be unreasonable? Changsun Wuji's recommendation came In the palace, Li Shimin responded.

The next day, early in the morning, Chang'an Paradise Street.

Autumn dew is heavy, and the early morning of autumn is already a bit cold. The dew that accumulated overnight hits the Tianjie in Chang'an City, moistening the old bluestone paving roads and printing a bit of simple patterns.

"Tap, tap, tap."

The sound of horseshoes came from the north, breaking the morning tranquility of Chang'an City and waking up this thousand-year-old Guanzhong City from sleep.

Along with the sound of horseshoes came a group of elite soldiers dressed in imperial armor. In the middle of these soldiers, a young man in bright armor with a pure white dragon horse on his crotch was riding slowly, and behind the young man, There are two strong men carrying banners on their shoulders, one book is "The Governor of Bingzhou", and the other is "The King of Chu is ordered to supervise the border".

Needless to say, the majestic young man in the middle is naturally Li Ke, the king of Chu who was ordered to go north to Fuhe River, and behind Li Ke was the eight hundred guards and leopard cavalry escorted by the army.

Most of the imperial guards in the Tang Dynasty were from Guanzhong, so the people supported the army, especially the people of Chang'an. Stopped on both sides of the road to watch.

"Grandma, who is riding a big horse, the clothes on him are so pretty."

The bright light armor Li Ke was wearing was given by Li Shimin, and it was the most exquisite. The morning sun shone on Li Ke's body, and it also reflected a dazzling light.On the side of the road, a child with a long horn was pointing at Li Ke, and asked his grandmother who was pulling him beside him.

The grandmother standing next to the child heard his words, suddenly clapped his hands, and said in a slightly reprimanded tone: "Don't be rude, this is His Highness King Chu who saved your life."

The child looked at Li Ke who was not far away, and asked curiously: "He saved my life, how could I not know?"

The grandmother patiently explained: "To be exact, His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not save your life, but the lives of our whole family. Eight years ago, when you were an infant who didn't remember anything, Turkic Jieli Khan went south In Guanzhong, our hometown Jingzhou was destroyed, and the people of the city fled out of the city.

At that time, Turkic soldiers were rampant in Guanzhong, and I don't know how many people died. Even we almost lost our lives.His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so when he saw the country was ruined and his family was ruined, he voluntarily went north with Jieli Khan and became the hostage. Only then did he keep the city of Chang'an and our family's lives. "

The boy was young, so he obviously didn't know what a proton means. He looked up at his grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what is a proton?"

The grandmother replied: "Protons are hostages sent to the Turks. His Highness the King of Chu sent himself to the Turks. The grassland was extremely cold. His Highness suffered for four years on the grasslands and almost lost his life. That's how he saved the life." Our whole family, without His Royal Highness, our whole family should have starved to death in the wild eight years ago, do you think His Highness is the benefactor of our whole family?"

The boy nodded slowly when he heard the words, and only then did he realize that this noble boy in fresh clothes and angry horse had such a relationship with him.

Looking at Li Ke's direction, the boy seemed to be heading out of the city again, so he asked, "Grandma, what is Your Highness doing this time, are you going to be a proton again?"

The grandmother smiled and said: "Of course not, but this time His Highness went north to kill the enemy to protect us. His Highness wants to keep our Tang enemies out of the pass and protect Chang'an and the people of Chang'an."

Killing an enemy on the battlefield is naturally dangerous. Hearing what his grandmother said, the boy felt a little more worried about this Prince Chu, whom he had never met before. The boy asked, "Will His Highness be in danger?"

The grandmother nodded and replied: "Of course, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and everyone is in danger, but His Highness is followed by his guards, who fight for His Highness and will protect His Highness on the battlefield."

The grandmother's words reached the boy's ears. At this moment, when the boy looked at Li Ke again, it seemed that the bright light armor on Li Ke's body was no longer sunlight, but a kind of halo, which called Guan Zhong, who was only a young man. The halo that Jiro is fascinated by.

Guan Zhong Erlang drank a lot of water together and grew up eating the food grown in Qinchuan's land. He seemed to have inherited the blood of his father's generation. Although he was young, he also valued kindness and righteousness.

The boy clenched his small fists tightly, looked at Li Ke, looked at the soldiers behind Li Ke, and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, I will also be His Highness's guard in the future, to protect His Highness, and to fight for His Highness."

A boy who is still powerless, and a light and flirtatious boy who can't see the side from a distance, constitute an inconspicuous scene on the side of Chang'an Street. Such a scene seems insignificant, and it is difficult to change the overall situation, but it is also similar. The scene of this scene has happened repeatedly a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even more times, even a drop of water can float the boat.

Naturally, Li Ke didn't know what the children on the street were thinking, and now Li Ke was thinking about what happened in Hedong.

"Sir, did the king order you to deliver the message?" Li Ke rode his horse in front of the crowd, and asked Wang Xuance behind him.

Hearing Li Ke calling him, Wang Xuance stepped forward with light grip on the horse's belly, only one horse's head behind, and Li Ke walked side by side.

Wang Xuance replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, the news from Yangzhou has been sent out, and it must be in the hands of King Bin in the future. After King Bin arranges all the affairs in Yangzhou, he can go north to Taiyuan in early July at the earliest."

In the past, when Li Ke was the governor of Yangzhou, Ma Zhou took the position of Sima of the governor's office of Yangzhou to sit in Yangzhou for Li Ke. Now that Li Ke has been transferred to the governor of Bingzhou and goes north to Taiyuan, Ma Zhou naturally has no status and necessity to stay in Yangzhou. .

Ma Zhou is Li Ke's arm and has the ability to govern the country. When Li Ke first arrived in Bingzhou, he couldn't do without Ma Zhou. So after Li Ke received the imperial decree yesterday, he sent a letter to Wang Xuance to summon Ma Zhou to go north that night.

Li Ke thought for a while, and said to Wang Xuance: "I will deal with Xue Yantuo's affairs first when I go north, and then I will go to Dingxiang City. It will take more than a month if I don't talk about it. There is no need to be in a hurry when King Bin goes north. Although I am a man now It is no longer in Yangzhou, but after all, Yangzhou still has the foundation of the king's management for more than two years, so it will not be too late for King Bin to take care of it before heading north."

"No." Wang Xuance replied.

Wang Xuance first complied with Li Ke's order, and then asked: "What about Lady Xiao? Your Highness wants to summon Lady Xiao?"

Li Ke pondered for a moment, and said: "Luoyang is the eastern capital, located in the middle of the world. I wanted to order the fairy lady to go to Luoyang first, and then Chang'an, but the sudden appearance of Xue Yantuo's army disrupted my plan, sir. Any suggestions?"

Wang Xuance thought for a while and replied: "Taiyuan is the capital of the north, so it is equally important. Moreover, Taiyuan is not as important as Yangzhou. Taiyuan's aristocratic family, military mansion, and Xunjiu are intertwined and complicated. It is inevitable that His Highness is short of manpower when he first arrives in Taiyuan, and there are many obstacles in everything. It’s good to call Mrs. Xiao to go north.”

Taiyuan is the land of the great Tang Dynasty. There are many nobles in Taiyuan, and the military government and Taiyuan aristocratic families are very powerful, which is not comparable to Yangzhou. Li Ke will inevitably be hindered in everything when he first arrives. If Xiao Yuexian is there, help him do things that are inconvenient for him Things are naturally much more convenient.

Li Ke nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then Luoyang will wait for a while and order Xianniang to come to Taiyuan first."
