Chapter 332 Lishan Trial Horse

Mount Li is a branch of the north side of the Qinling Mountains. The evergreen pines and cypresses on the mountain are magnificent and emerald. The mountain looks like a horse from a distance, so it is named Lishan, also known as Zhaoying Mountain and Huichang Mountain.Lishan is not as majestic as Taihua, as long as Zhongnan, as secluded as Taibai, and as dangerous as Longmen. However, it is said to be the former residence of the Three Emperors, and there are many springs in the mountain, so it has become the exclusive garden of the royal family of all dynasties.

Every Spring and Autumn, the royal family will hold a large-scale hunting here, in order to show the determination of Tang Dynasty martial arts. At that time, horse racing, archery, hunting, polo and other activities will be held. And all the heroes in Chang'an City can come here to compete, so every hunting trip in Lishan is a grand gathering.

For this spring hunt, Li Longji adopted Li Linfu's suggestion and planned to hold a big contest for all the adult princes in order to select talents and cultivate virtue. Most of the people from the Six Palaces followed. Except for a few ministers from the previous dynasty who needed to stay in Chang'an to handle trivial government affairs, the remaining six ministries were all settled in Lishan, and various memorials and urgent military reports were no longer in Hanyuan. Hall, but in the other courtyard of Lishan.

Gao Lishi was in charge of the palace arrangement for this trip. There were not so many residences in Lishan Palace like other palaces. He couldn't bear the sudden influx of so many people. He was dissatisfied when he arranged for one to live in the palace. This made Gao Lishi very depressed, and it was Chang Xi who gave him an idea to let everyone live in Chengyuan, which solved the problem of accommodation.

On the second day after settling down in Lishan, Li Longji presided over the big competition in the empty competition field. Thousands of mighty and majestic Habayashi soldiers surrounded the place into a huge circle, and inside the circle stood several Hundreds of guards holding ox horns lined up dozens of red leather drums at each of the four corners, and there were warriors with bare upper bodies holding drumsticks.The relatives of the emperor, ministers' wives, princes and princesses were arranged to sit behind the wooden table in the field in turn, and Li Longji and Chang Xi sat behind the green wooden table in the middle.

Since everyone knew that this was a very good opportunity to show their faces, they all dressed up deliberately. For a while, the men in the square were either handsome or well-dressed or unrefined, and the women were either charming or charming or elegant or dignified. In short, each has its own style.

King Ning looked around and said with a smile: "I don't come to Lishan Mountain for a while, this time I really want to see the demeanor of my Tang warrior!"

Li Linfu was the prime minister, so he sat at the place closest to Li Longji among the ministers. At this time, he stroked his beard and smiled: "This time, your majesty wants to test the martial arts of the princes. Your highness, King Ning, can first see our Tang Dynasty. The heroic appearance of the prince!"

King Qi nodded and said: "The prince is the foundation of the country. Not only the prince must be good at teaching, but the other princes must also have skills, so that they can better assist the prince and continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty created by the third brother!"

Chang Xi, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but feel happy when he heard what King Qi said. What skills has this prince developed to share His Majesty's worries?

Li Longji just smiled slightly after hearing this, and motioned to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi shook off his whisk, and said loudly: "Princes, please come in!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen princes rode their chosen horses and urged their horses into the arena. In front of them was Prince Li Ying. He was wearing a shiny silver armor, his hair was wrapped in a helmet, and he wore a The scarlet shawl makes hunting sounds with the mountain wind in the square, and a three-foot long sword is hung on the waist, engraved with dragon patterns that only princes can have, and a huge mahogany bow is carried on the back. Pushing the horse forward, he smiled and greeted the royal relatives and ministers' wives on the left and right. The arrogance of the king was fully displayed on the horse, and he really deserved the title of the prince of the country.

Behind him were Li Cong, Li Yao, Li Ju, Li Heng, Li Lin, Li Mao and other dozens of princes, but Li Yingzhuyu was in front, and their sharpness was covered by a lot.

Ever since these people entered the arena, the lady from the official family who was not out of the cabinet on the stage of the life wife went crazy. After all, there are so many handsome and luxurious men gathered together. Ying and other few princes, most of them have no concubines, it is a good time to compete for beautiful men. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open again, not only allowing but even encouraging women to boldly pursue their love. Driven by this atmosphere, those who were originally gentle The virtuous and virtuous official women cheered enthusiastically, causing many people on the scene to snicker, even Li Longji couldn't help but smile.

Concubine Mei, who was among the backward concubines, changed her usual indifference, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that the spring hunting is over, and you have to bother to choose concubines for the princes again!"

Li Longji smiled heartily after hearing this, and looked at Chang Xi beside him, only to see her staring at the field, Li Longji followed her line of sight, Li Mao was riding a white Dawan horse without any impurities , sitting on the horseback in sharp clothes, without the cynicism of the past, he was actually quite general, the excited Chang Xi's mouth trembled slightly, obviously extremely happy.Li Longji sighed slightly in his heart, she didn't know that this was not her biological son at all!So I put almost all my thoughts on him. In the past ten years, for Chang Xi's sake, I love this unrelated son very much. The momentum almost exceeds that of Prince Li Ying. Knowing that he could not inherit the throne as the crown prince, but still conferred the title of Shouwang and invited the governor of Jizhou, Li Longji was shocked when he thought of this!
Chang Xi didn't know that this child was adopted by him to comfort her. With her love for Li Mao, could it have already moved Li Mao's mind to change the owner of the East Palace?If this is the case, things are much more difficult!If this child is really his own flesh and blood, then what does it matter if he goes out of his way to dethrone Li Ying and Li Mao'er as the heir apparent!Even want to do it myself!But he can't do it now, he can't hand over the country of the Tang Dynasty to a wild child who doesn't have the royal blood of the Li family!
"Your Majesty, Mao'er is 17 years old this year, it's time to get married!" Chang Xi still looked at Li Mao in the field without blinking, but he was speaking to the man beside him.

Li Longji's train of thought was interrupted. Hearing what Chang Xi said, he said with a smile: "Don't you have to choose some family members for me this year? Then I don't want it. You can just choose the concubine for Maoer in this general election." !"

"How can that be done? This Xingqing Palace hasn't had any new sisters for many years, and those ministers are going to say that Xi'er is so jealous that she is holding the monarch hostage!" Chang Xi said angrily.

Li Longji laughed, "I chose to keep an empty room, and they don't hate you more! Don't listen to those ministers who are talking about it, and when the spring hunting is over, you can choose a concubine for Mao'er in Qujiangchi with peace of mind! In addition, Choose a few concubines for Ying'er and Yao'er!"

"Okay!" Chang Xi covered her mouth and smiled, "The concubine wrote it down!"

Li Longji instructed: "Especially Ying'er! He has been married for so many years, but he has few heirs. You should choose a few dignified and virtuous beauties for her, and take care of the Prince's Mansion for him, and spread the leaves!"
