Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 234: Goose Hunting (1)

Guangcheng Garden is located in Ruzhou in the east of Luoyang. It is named Guangcheng Garden because of the large lake Guangchengze in it. It has been one of the famous royal hunting grounds since the early Han Dynasty. It is also called Shanglin Garden. The majestic Songshan Mountain, next to the vast Funiu in the south, has beautiful mountains and rivers, many hot springs, and is extremely rich in birds, beasts, insects and fish. Both Tang Gaozu and Taizong visited here several times. In the early years, when Gaozong was in good health, he even Every midsummer, he would bring Empress Wu to the Guangchengyuan Palace to hunt and escape the summer heat. However, due to the aggravation of wind disease in the past few years, it is rare to come again. As needed, more than [-] members of the Habayashi Army stationed here as a warning. Of course, these are just false decorations. The holy driver has not been here for many years. It's just the old man, and he usually lives like a fool, and the rules and the like are naturally loose, but today is a bit abnormal--early in the morning, all the Guangcheng Gardens gathered at the entrance of the garden Not only that, but all of them put on new clothes that they were reluctant to wear in the past, and everyone was in high spirits, all because of the arrival of King Li Xian and Princess Taiping.

Everyone doesn't care whether Princess Taiping comes or not, even if she is a princess, and she is the most beloved princess of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, it is of no great use to the people in Guangchengyuan who are eager to change their own destiny After all, his age is really too young, but Li Xian, who has already established a government office, is different. If Li Xian can see him right, he might be able to rise to the sky. This is not a fantasy, nothing else Said, isn't Lin Chengbin, the Deputy Commander of the Royal Palace who stands at the top of the crowd, the best example. A mere prisoner of war was pulled out of the mud by Li Xian, and it took less than half a year. At that time, he was already a high-ranking official from the fourth rank. No one would not envy this kind of luck, not only those ordinary soldiers, but even the eunuch Liu Kai, the master of the palace, and the guerrilla general Cheng Shuan. The eyes of the highest official looking at Lin Chengbin are also full of jealousy that cannot be concealed. Of course, jealousy is jealousy, but no one dares to provoke him. Not only dare not be disrespectful, but also have to fawn on him He said, nothing else, whether he can get in touch with the incomparably noble Li Xian, all depends on this Deputy Lin Dianjun.

Hearing the endless flattery from the people around him, and feeling the envious or envious eyes of everyone, Lin Chengbin seemed to be really intoxicated, his face was full of reserved smiles, and he looked superior, but in fact, in his heart But he was extremely calm, and he didn't take those flattery words seriously. In fact, the reason why this group of people were so low-spirited was all due to Lin Chengbin's ingenious arrangement—the guards of the palace standing in the front They deliberately revealed some specious secrets, in order to arouse everyone's enthusiasm for climbing up, so that these gray grandchildren all cheered up, and went all out to meet Li Xian's arrival, so as to cover The private preparations of another group of people, now that the matter is basically done, no matter how well those people behave, Lin Chengbin doesn't care at all.

"I'm coming!"

"Quick, quick, play music, play music!"

A group of cavalrymen came out from the cliffs outside with various flags in their hands. The people in Guangchengyuan, who had been joking with Lin Chengbin, were suddenly in chaos. The blowing began, and the horns sounded in unison. Teams of red-clothed cavalry escorted ten horse-drawn carriages and walked slowly to the gate of the palace.

"The last general waits to welcome His Royal Highness King Ying, and welcomes His Royal Highness Princess Taiping."

As soon as the carriage came to a complete stop, Lin Chengbin led the crowd to meet him, bowing and bowing to greet each other incessantly.

"It's finally here, Seventh Brother, hurry up!"

Lin Chengbin and the others hadn't finished their salutes when the curtain of the car moved, and Princess Taiping's little head popped out from behind the curtain, and she didn't even look at the bowing people. Then he started shouting, completely ignoring whether the welcoming ceremony was official or not.

"Ah."

The response to Princess Taiping was a muffled murmur, and then Li Xian, who was dressed in purple, walked down from the carriage, with a trace of exhaustion on his face, which is not surprising. Princess Taiping has been entangled with such a problem child for three days, and it is inevitable that she will be upset. This is Li Xian. Being tormented by Princess Taiping's countless weird questions made her extremely depressed. Even though she knew that she should give a bright smile to the people who came to greet her at this time, Li Xian, whose muscles were half paralyzed, couldn't help laughing. If you can't come out, you can only nod your head as a courtesy.

"I would like to report to His Royal Highness King Ying that the accommodation in the palace has been prepared, His Highness please move in first, and let the old slave lead the way."

Li Xian could be unsmiling, but Liu Kai, the eunuch who was the master of the palace, did not dare to show the slightest disrespect, and approached him with a smile on his face, and asked for instructions respectfully.

"Brother Seven, let's go!"

Before Li Xian had time to speak, Princess Taiping was already impatient, she pulled Li Xian's arm and was about to walk into the palace gate.

"Little sister, please be safe." Although Li Xian is a prince, according to the usual practice, he does not have the authority to live in the palace alone. Of course, this time he came here to hunt by order, and he has the skin of an imperial envoy. Wearing it on your body, if you really want to live in the palace, it's justified, but Li Xian, who is cautious by nature, doesn't want to be caught in such trivial matters. Seeing Princess Taiping anxiously moving forward, Li Xian had no choice but to stop Then, no matter how high Princess Taiping's pout was, she waved her hand to Liu Kai with a smile and said, "Master Liu, don't worry about it. I just see that the scenery by the lake is good, so just set up camp on the spot." , you can go and get busy on your own, if you have something to do, you can ask for your help, let's go away." As soon as the voice fell, without giving Liu Kai a chance to explain, he waved his hand and loudly ordered the whole army to stand A camp was set up by the lake.

"Brother Seven, you can't live in a good palace, but live in a fortress, it's boring!"

Li Xian's authority is becoming more and more powerful. Since he has opened his mouth, others dare not object, but Princess Taiping is an exception. Seeing that the army is busy setting up camp, Little Taiping frowned unwillingly and pouted. Mouth, whining and complaining.

"Little sister, wild geese are spiritual creatures. If you want to hunt them, you have to sneak up in the middle of the night. Only in the early morning, when the geese first wake up, is the best time to do it. If you live in the palace, going out in the middle of the night won't disturb your dreams. If you do it in a day, it’s okay, but if you do it continuously, you will definitely be criticized secretly, as a brother, you don’t want to do it, if the younger sister can get up by herself, she can go to the palace to live.” Looking at Princess Taiping The small mouth was so raised that it could hang an oil bottle, Li Xian couldn't help laughing, knelt down, stretched out his hand to scrape the tip of Princess Taiping's nose, and explained it gently.

"I hate it!" Xiao Taiping dodged for a moment, made a face and said: "The seventh brother must take the younger sister with him tomorrow!"

"Okay, hook, hook!"

The reason why Li Xian brought Princess Taiping here this time was to ask her to be a witness, and he would not refuse her request to go hunting wild geese together, so he laughed and held out his little finger.

"Yeah! Seventh brother, little sister is going to the lake to investigate the enemy's situation first."

After all, Princess Taiping is a child at heart. After being teased by Li Xian, she immediately became happy, stretched out her little finger, and pulled the hook with Li Xian. After making a face, she ran to the lake in a hurry. The accompanying ladies and eunuchs all swarmed behind him.

Scouting the enemy?Oh, this little girl's film!Li Xian shook his head and laughed when he heard that Princess Taiping said military terms, he didn't bother to restrain this restless little girl, stood up, looked back and stood aside respectfully Lin Chengbin coughed lightly. Although he didn't ask, his eyes were full of inquiry.

"Your Highness is wise."

Lin Chengbin naturally knew what Li Xian wanted to ask, so when he was about to salute, he quietly signaled, but he praised him meticulously.

"Ah."

As soon as he saw the signal from Lin Chengbin, the stone hanging in Li Xian's heart finally fell to the ground, but he didn't bring it to his face. He walked towards the lake, with a calm look, and dozens of pairs of eyes peeping here didn't find even a single bit of suspiciousness.

Guangcheng Garden is undoubtedly extremely beautiful. The mountains and rivers are connected, the mist is vast, and the eagles fly and the fish leap. Being in it, one feels like being in a fairyland. It is not the first time for Li Xian to come here, but at first glance The boundless beauty still caused my mind to be shaken, but I soon came back to my senses, because although the current situation is generally under control, there are too many variables in it, and it is obviously impossible to be comprehensive. It's too realistic, even though Li Xian has thought about it countless times, he still has it in his heart, and he has no intention to appreciate the infinite scenery of nature.

"oops!"

While Li Xian was in deep thought, he suddenly felt a coldness on his face, he couldn't help exclaiming in a daze, and wiped his hand subconsciously, only to find that his face was covered with cold water, and when he took a closer look, he could see Xiao Taiping who had succeeded in a trick Not far away, he was leaning forward and backward and laughing non-stop.

"Ha, little sister, how dare you sneak attack, watch!"

Seeing Xiao Taiping's overjoyed look, Li Xian couldn't help but feel childlike, and after scolding with a smile, he unceremoniously scooped up water and counterattacked, and the brother and sister formed a mess, and the affected court ladies and eunuchs also joined in It's funny, and the laughter on the shore of the lake is useless for a while...
